Mr. Leo Hise commented that there was a deadline approaching for all paper work to be completed if we were considering participation and this agenda item did not mean that the district is going to be participating in the program. It just authorized staff to submit the paperwork. Mr. Mike Fogarty said further action by the Board would be required prior to actual participation in the program and this item only reserves our option to proceed to participate. MOTION: SECOND:

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1992 M-14: PURCHASING AND GENERAL BUSINESS TO BE VOTED ON SEPARATELY (CONTINUED)

Discussion Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked about the building modifications and whether this meant renovation or alterations for the four schools listed. Dr. Steller responded the reason for this item is that it is a matching grant and schools were picked that would provide a good return for funds spent for energy conservation. He further said there are other schools that would not be a good investment for energy conservation unless they were completely renovated. Mr. Art Bode, Director, Service Center Management Operations, said that the funds would be spent for items such as windows and insulation, or anything that would conserve energy for the buildings. He further stated that normally a three year pay-back is expected on any renovations. He anticipated it will be approximately April or May before the district is advised if it qualified to receive the grant; therefore the matching funds will not be spent until the 9293 budget.

1992-93 High School Curriculum Handbook

Mr. Mike Fogarty introduced the only item on the agenda, approval of the 1992-93 High School Curriculum Handbook, and asked if there were any comments on the proposed curriculum.

Mrs. Betty Hill noted that typewriting, word processing and notehand had been reinstated for this year. She suggested that information in the listing be underlined so that it will be more noticeable to students. She also asked about prerequisites for computer courses that would enhance typing and keying abilities. Dr. Arthur Steller commented that students taking computer programming would need teacher approval. That approval would include typewriting and keyboarding competencies. Mrs. Betty Hill also pointed out that the handbook listed two science credits for Cosmetology I and II when taken at Metro Tech and only one science credit when the cosmetology courses are taken as a part of the "Vocational and Career High School Courses." Dr. Phil Odom, Director, Secondary Schools, said one lab credit is given for two years of Cosmetology and the Cosmetology II listing of two hours of science credit in the vocational description would be reworded.

92-93 HIOJ SCHOOL CURRICULUM HANDBOOK


2. MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 1992

M-2 SPECIAL BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

Concerning the listing of graduation requirements in the handbook, Mrs. Hill said that adoption of a change in Board Policy 1-38; GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS, should occur before that part of the handbook showing increased graduation requirements is approved. She also questioned whether the Board had previously approved changing the social studies elective to an economics elective. Because Board policy had not been followed, Mrs. Hill said she planned to make a motion to delete the new graduation requirements from the handbook.

Mrs. Kay Floyd said that apparently the Board is following the same process this year as was used last year. She said she would not want this curriculum handbook held up because of a procedural error. She asked that in the future however. Board policy changes relating to the handbook be approved prior to the handbook approval and not be held until regular Board policy adoption.

Mrs. Kay Floyd also asked about the listing. Economics Electives, saying that it was her understanding that there was only one economics course being offered. Dr. Phil Odom, Director, Secondary Schools, responded that was right and the work "electives" would be stricken from the listing in the handbook. 32-93 HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM HANDBOOK flOTIOS FAILED

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked if input had been received from counselors and parents in the formation of the curriculum. She also said she felt general business, including basic typewriting, is an important skill for some students and that attention should be paid to those students who will not be attending college after graduation. The handbook should not give the impression that all courses are geared toward college preparatory. Dr. Odom responded that the curriculum was sent to every school, department head, counselor, and vocational staff and suggestions lad been received and taken into account as decisions were being made. Also, there were 20 members on a curriculum committee who met several limes as the guide was being developed. Input was also received from ;he curriculum supervisors who thoroughly researched House Bill 1017 .ooking for curriculum changes.

DISCUSSION Prior to the motion, Mr. Leo Hise suggested the Board suspend Board Policy B-30: BOARD POLICY ADOPTION AND REVIEW and make that suspension part of the motion to approve the handbook.

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks stated she had read the handbook and was very concerned because of the potential changes forthcoming throughout the year. She said that she would be remiss if she approved the curriculum because of some of the things she knew were designed primarily for certain school areas and not encompassing other students with unique needs. Dr. Arthur Steller stated that the change in the curriculum relating to economics had occurred last year. He also noted that for the past several years, changes in the handbook preceded modification of Board policy. Mrs. Kay Floyd stated for the record, that the Board would like to alert the staff that in the future when a decision is reached that affects a Board policy, the affected policy should be included for Board action at the time the change occurs and proper procedure followed for policy change. Mrs. Betty Hill stated she would like to see Board Policy 1-38: GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS as revised, listed for approval in the next agenda.

Mr. Mike Fogarty said that the Board expects the s,taff to be conscientious about continuing to keep policy updated as documents are being approved by the Board. Also, he pointed out that if the High School Curriculum Handbook is approved by this motion it would clearly indicate a policy change would need to be made; if the policy is not changed the current policy concerning graduation requirements would rule and the handbook would be inconsistent. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:10 p.m. The motion for adjournment was made by Leo Hise and seconded by Kay Floyd. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Floyd, aye; Mr. Kellert, aye, Mrs. Hill, aye; Mrs. Parks, aye; Mr. Hise, aye; and Mr. Fogarty, aye. All aye.

DPENING STATEMENTS Respondent:

fls. Peggy Cunningham said that Ms. Sue Mitchell, Administrator, Child Slutrition Services had recommended demotion of the appellant from ::afeteria manager to the position of Kitchen Specialist I. The basis of Lhe recommended demotion stemmed from an incident occurring on August, 26, 1991, prior to the beginning of the current school year involving 4s. Makintubbee's failure to report to her assigned cafeteria on the specified date and failure to notify her supervisor that she would not 3e on the job. Ms. Cunningham said evidence will show that the ippellant also had^previously failed to fulfill her duties as a manager, setting a poor example for other employees and creating a hardship on ^he other employees.


MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 1992

HEARING (CONTINUED)

Appellant:

Mr. David Gray said the Board was to hear the concept of progressive discipline but that proof will be given through the testimony of witnesses and exhibits that the appellant was denied the privilege of progressive discipline. Also, Mr. Gray contended that the demotion recommendation, with a salary reduction of $1,500 yearly, is unusual and unwarranted. WITNESSES:

RESPONDENT'S WITNESSES

First Witness: Ms. Sue Mitchell testified that she had ultimate responsibility for the supervision of all cafeteria workers for the district. Referring to the Significant Event Report dated August 27, 1991, (Exhibit #2 with six (6) attachments) Ms. Mitchell said she presented the report with attachments 1 through 6 to Ms. Makintubbee for signature. The report was the basis for the proposed demotion. Ms. Mitchell testified that training on USDA regulations, general kitchen management, and employee development was required for all managers, not just new employees, and the training was to be presented August 20 through 23 (Tuesday through Friday) at Northwest Classen High School Cafeteria. Cafeteria managers were to report to their assigned sites on the following Monday, August 26, 1991, to assist principals and school staff with the free/reduced meal application process; sell tickets for meals to parents who wished to purchase them; provide coffee and cookies for principal’s meetings; open and clean the kitchens; and train the hourly kitchen employees on the guidelines the managers received during their training. Ms. Mitchell stated that Ms. Makintubbee attended the first 2 days of the training session (August 20 and 21) and asked her on Wednesday (August 21), after lunch, about missing the last 2 days of training (August 22 and 23). Ms. Makintubbee told Ms. Mitchell her son was graduating from basic training in Georgia and she wanted to attend the ceremony. Ms. Mitchell said she was concerned over Ms. Makintubbee missing the last 2 days of training. However, Ms. Mitchell stated she allowed Ms. Makintubbee to attend her son's graduation ceremony. Ms. Mitchell stated she expressed to Ms. Makintubbee the importance of her getting the key to open Parker Elementary School cafeteria on Monday, August 26. Ms. Makintubbee was to pick up the key in the Child Nutrition Services office at 7:00 a.m. on that day but failed to do so. Ms. Mitchell was not aware that Ms. Makintubbee had not picked up the key until 11:00 a.m. when she received a call from the principal stating the cafeteria was not open. Ms. Mitchell then assigned a manager intraining who was working at another site to go to Parker Elementary School. Ms. Mitchell said that Ms. Makintubbee arrived at the Child Nutrition Services office around 11:30 a.m. on Monday (August 26) to pick up the key, and explained they had driven all night returning from Georgia, and she came to pick up the key as soon as she could. She told Ms. Mitchell that she did not have the telephone number with her to notify the Child Nutrition Services office that she would be late. Ms. Mitchell testified the office phone number is listed in the telephone directory information and that the Child Nutrition Services office has several of their telephones on recorders 24 hours a day. Ms. Mitchell testified that Ms. Makintubbee had served as a cafeteria manager for several years and other incidents of unauthorized absences had occurred. She defined the term unauthorized absence to mean missing work without notifying the proper authority. She described the events and recommendations that were made during these unauthorized absences. Ms. Mitchell testified about previously removing Ms. Makintubbee from a management position to a Kitchen Specialist I; during which time she saw her almost daily. After having an in-depth talk with her in July of 1991, she said she gave Ms. Makintubbee another opportunity because she felt Ms. Makintubbee could now meet the job requirements of manager.

HEARING (CONTINUED) HEARING: PRE-DEMOTION FOR 3ETTY J. 4AKINTUBBEE, CAFETERIA WORKER

During the pre-disciplinary hearing on September 4, 1991, Ms. Mitchell testified she became aware for the first time that Ms. Makintubbee had someone call the employees at Parker to let them know she would not be there on Monday (August 26), and they were not to come to work on that day either. Ms. Mitchell also testified at that hearing that it was the discretion of the cafeteria manager as to the date other cafeteria employees should report to the kitchen for training and cleaning. She also said the recommendation of proposed demotion to Kitchen Specialist I was upheld at that hearing.

Cross Examination by Appellant’s Representative; Mr. David Gray questioned Ms. Mitchell regarding the Significant Event Report (Exhibit #1) and asked if she was the person who supplied the information for the report and not the area supervisor. She responded 'yes." Regarding the attachments to the Significant Event Report, Mr. Gray questioned if Ms. Mitchell had reported to Ms. Makintubbee (as cafeteria manager) that the manager in training had written an in-depth report (on November 15, 1990) as to the operation of the kitchen. Ms. Mitchell responded she would not be the person to do that, as the managers in-training reported to a supervisor; Ms. Mitchell testified she was not aware there was a major problem until February, 1991.

Mr. Gray further questioned her regarding previous unauthorized absences as noted on the report. During questioning Ms. Mitchell testified that on the unauthorized absences noted of January 30, 31, and February 1, 1991, the absence of January 30 was excused because Ms. Makintubbee had called requesting a day off to attend a funeral, but upon examination of Respondent's Exhibit #12, Ms. Makintubbee did not receive compensation for three days due to the fact the time sheet was not filled out correctly by Ms. Makintubbee. Mr. Gray noted in the Collective Bargaining Agreement that employees are allowed 5 days of bereavement leave. Ms. Mitchell testified she agreed, but it was the employee’s responsibility to call and request the bereavement leave and the number of days needed. Ws. Sue Mitchell, Administrator, Child Nutrition Services, testified as to the events leading to the Significant Event Report for Ms. yiakintubbee dated August 27, 1991. In response to questions from Mr. Gray, Ms. Mitchell testified:

that it had been reported that hourly employees at Parker Elementary School had been told not to come to work on August 22 and 23, 1991.

that hourly employees were paid when they worked and they lost wages when they did not work.

that cafeteria personnel were to report to work on September 3, 1991, according to the schedule, but that hourly personnel were required to assist in clean up and attend 4 hours of training during pre-school week.

that she had made the statement that evaluations should be used for development and indicators should be received for improvement.

that Ms. Makintubbee was currently 2 steps lower in salary than she should be; that salary placement is the responsibility of another department, and that with over 500 employees, it was also the employees responsibility to check the salary each year to make sure of proper step placement.


MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 1992

M-5

HEARING (CONTINUED) Redirect Examination by Respondent's Representative;

Ms. Cunningham clarified that the incorrect salary placement had been brought to the attention of Mr. Vern Moore, Personnel Services, and that Mr. Gray had been advised the error would be corrected and that this did not have a bearing on the outcome of this hearing.

Ms. Cunningham questioned Ms. Mitchell as to whether she had input into the preparation of Ms. Makintubbee's pay warrant (Appellant's Exhibit #12) and Ms. Mitchell responded the warrants were prepared by the payroll department. Regarding Appellant's Exhibit #10, (hourly work sheet) Ms. Cunningham asked if Ms. Mitchell could tell from the hand written notes the date they were placed on the work sheet. Ms. Mitchell responded, "no." Concerning Attachment #1 of the Significant Event Report prepared by the manager in-training, Ms. Mitchell testified the attachment was not prepared for the purpose of being used with the Significant Event Report and was not part of Ms. Makintubbee's personnel file. Upon Ms. Mitchell's approval of a personnel transaction form, Ms. Cunningham asked if Ms. Mitchell would indicate what salary step the employee would be placed. Ms. Mitchell replied only if there would be a change in step other than the annual negotiated contract agreement adjustment. The Hearing Officer, Ms. Jones, asked Ms. Mitchell if Attachment #1 to the Significant Event Report influenced her decision to prepare the Significant Event Report. Ms. Mitchell responded the attachment helped her to make a decision as to what type of disciplinary action to take after Ms. Makintubbee failed to open the cafeteria at Parker Elementary School on August 26, 1991.

Second Witness: Ms. Josie Lee, Cafeteria Worker, Parker Elementary School, testified she expected to start work on August 26, 1991, as advised by a written notice after the end of the previous school year. On Saturday, August 24, MÂŤ- f-f^e received a call from a "woman who identified herself as the new manager at Parker, who just wanted to get acquainted." At that time Ms. Lee said she was informed she would start work on Monday, August 26. Late Sunday, approximately between 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., August 25, Ms. Lee said she received a call from a "female person" identifying herself as the daughter of the lady who called before and said "her Mother had gone out of town and would be back on Monday and not to come to work. Ms. Lee was also asked to call another employee and tell her about not coming to work."

Cross Examination by Appellant's Representative;

Mr. Gray asked Ms. Lee if "anyone from Child Nutrition Services called her to report to work during the week of August 26 through the 30th" and Ms. Lee responded, "no."

The Hearing Office, Ms. Jones, asked Ms. Lee if she reported to work during that week and Ms. Lee responded she went to work on Tuesday "for a couple of hours at Parker and then went back on Friday." Ms. Jones asked Ms. Lee how she knew to go to work on Tuesday (August 27, 1991) and Ms. Lee responded that a Tracey Blalock had called saying she was the new manager at Parker and to come to work on Tuesday. Third Witness: Ms. Sandra Ellis, Cafeteria Worker, Parker Elementary School, testified "some lady called saying she was going to be the manager and they would start working on Monday." Ms. Ellis testified the "lady's daughter called the evening of Sunday (August 25) and said her Mother was out of town and not to cqme to work on Monday."

Cross Examination by Appellant's Representative; Mr. David Gray asked Ms. Ellis if anyone called her during the week of August 26 telling her to report to work. Ms. Ellis testified that "someone from the Board called her home and said they were to go to work on Tuesday" which she did.

The Hearing Officer, Ms. Jones, asked Ms. Ellis if she received pay for Monday, August 26, 1991, and Ms. Ellis responded she did not.

Fourth Witness: Ms. Myra Traylor, Area Supervisor, Child Nutrition Services, testified her employment began on August 7, 1991, as an area supervisor and Parker Elementary School was one of the schools she supervised. Referring to Exhibit #1 (Significant Event Report) Ms. Traylor testified she signed the document and did not have personal knowledge of Ms. Makintubbee's activities. Ms. Traylor further testified that Ms. Mitchell "told her since she was the supervisor, she would need to follow-up on the action." Ms. Traylor testified she reviewed with Ms. Mitchell the Significant Event Report and concurred with the recommended demotion. Ms. Traylor testified she was in the Child Nutrition Services offices on August 26 when Ms. Makintubbee arrived to get the cafeteria key and was present during the discussion between Ms. Makintubbee and Ms. Mitchell; Ms. Makintubbee explained to Ms. Mitchell she had encountered difficulty getting home, trying to get a plane or a bus, and that was why she was late coming to work. Cross Examination by Appellant's Representative; Mr. David Gray questioned Ms. Traylor regarding the Significant Event Report and the statement concerning the call on August 26 from the principal of Parker Elementary School at 11:00 a.m. needing coffee for a meeting. Ms. Traylor said the principal called the Child Nutrition Services office approximately 30 minutes before Ms. Makintubbee arrived to pick up the cafeteria keys and talked with Ms. Mitchell, but Ms. Traylor did not go to Parker Elementary on that day. Ms. Traylor said after the principal called she immediately started calling the hourly workers and was told they had received a call telling them not to report to work on Monday, August 26, 1991, but they were told to report to work on Tuesday, August 27, 1991, which they did. Ms. Traylor further stated all the information she received regarding Ms. Makintubbee was second tiand except for the events of August 26, 1991.

Fifth Witness: Ms. Ruby Floyd, Central Kitchen Manager, Child Nutrition Services, testified that the Significant Event Report (Exhibit #1), attachment #2 (narrative dated January 31, 1991, noted North Highland - Ruby Floyd) Listed an unauthorized absence for Ms. Makintubbee on Thursday, January 31, 1991. Ms. Floyd said Ms. Makintubbee had called the traveling nanager, Helen Udofa, on Wednesday and told her she would not be at work the next day and Helen would need to work at North Highland; Ms. Floyd told Ms. Udofa that was not correct district policy, that a manager had to call the Child Nutrition Services office to report an authorized absence. Cross Examination by Appellant's Representative:

Mr. Gray questioned Ms. Floyd about where she kept her documentation Identified as attachment #1. Ms. Floyd said she had a file for managers Ln training where she keeps a variety of documentation. She said she jses the file as personal information that it is kept in a locked "cabinet." Ms. Floyd clarified that Helen Udofa was a person under her supervision.

Ms. Floyd responded that Ms. Makintubbee called in on Tuesday for a substitute on Wednesday only. Regarding Appellant's Exhibit #10 (hourly work sheet period ending February 1, 1991), there was a note attached stating "Doris - I don't know whose death. Betty call[ed] & never stated. Ruby." Ms. Floyd stated that she had written the note to Doris Baxter, payroll technician, and that she had filled out the form.

WITNESSES;

APPELLANT'S WITNESSES

First Witness;

Ms. Donna Bowman, Cafeteria Manager, Rancho Village Elementary School, testified she had been a cafeteria manager for approximately 18 years. Regarding Appellant's Exhibit #1 (school calendar) Mr. Gray asked if it was the manager' s discretion on what day the hourly employees are called to report to work during the week of August 26 and 30, 1991, and she replied "yes, depending on what day you want them to work and what day the frozen foods and staples come in; and you can only work them one day, so it's your discretion." Second Witness:

Ms. Shirley Dillard, Cafeteria Manager, Page-Woodson Fifth Grade Center, testified she had been a cafeteria manager for 13 years. Mr. Gray questioned Ms. Dillard if she could have called her hourly employees to work during the week of August 26 through 30, 1991, any day during that week, Ms. Dillard replied, "yes."

Cross Examination by Respondent's Representative; Ms. Cunningham asked Ms. Dillard if she worked on August 26, 1991, she replied "yes." Redirect Examination by Appellant's Representative;

Mr. Gray asked Ms. Dillard if she was required to call her hourly employees to work on August 26, and she replied, "I didn't have to, no." Ms. Cunningham, Respondent's Counsel, stipulated to the fact that Ms. Sue Mitchell, Administrator, Child Nutrition Services, had testified it was the manager's discretion to call the hourly cafeteria workers to work one day during the week of August 26 through 30, 1991. Ms. Barbara Little, Ms. Pearlie Wise and Ms. Valerie Peterson, cafeteria managers' testimony was therefore not required.

Fourth Witness:

Mr. Mark Reed, Coordinator, Employee Relations, testified regarding Appellant's Exhibit #16 (Correspondence from Mark Reed to Vern L. Moore, Executive Director, Personnel Services, dated September 5, 1991) that the memorandum reflected his recommendations for the pre-disciplinary hearing for Ms. Makintubbee on September 4, 1991. Page 2, Item 4 of the memo stated "Because the employee informed her subordinates not to show for work on the 26th, they lost one (1) day's wages." Mr. Reed responded that since Ms. Makintubbee's relative called the hourly employees and told them not to go to work on the 26th, they were docked for one day's wages and that if this was not a true statement, he had not been so informed.

Concerning Appell^ant's Exhibit #17 (Letter to Vern Moore, Executive Director, Personnel Services, dated October 4, 1991, requesting a second pre-disciplinary hearing for Ms. Makintubbee), Mr. Gray asked Mr. Reed if he had seen the letter and if he recalled discussing Ms. Makintubbee's situation after the pre-disciplinary hearing. To questions from Mr. Gray, Mr. Reed responded that Ms. Makintubbee's

HEARING: PRE-DEMOTION FOR BETTY J. MAKINTUBBEE, CAETERIA WORKER

MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETING OF JANUARY 13, 1992

HEARING (CONTINUED) BEARING: PRE-DEMOTION FOR BETTY J. MAKINTUBBEE, CAFETERIA WORKER

situation had been discussed on numerous occasions; that the day that the hourly employees were to start work was at the managers' discretion; that the hourly employees could have reported any day that week; that he did not know at the time of the pre-disciplinary hearing when the employees went on contract. Mr. Gray asked Mr. Reed the basis for his decision to write the letter to Mr. Vern Moore (Exhibit #16). Mr. Reed responded that the information that was related to him was that Ms. Makintubbee had an 8 hour position prior to being promoted to a kitchen manager position. He felt she should only be demoted to the position she had previously held rather than to a 6 hour position. Upon completing calculations of salary adjustments for a 6 hour position, the lost wages would have been unduly harsh.

Cross Examination by Respondent's Representative;

Ms. Cunningham asked Mr. Reed if he had recommended that Ms. Makintubbee be demoted and he responded, "yes." Also, after hearing the evidence in the pre-disciplinary hearing he said he felt Ms. Makintubbee should not remain in a management position and should be moved back to the position she had previously held. Redirect Examination by Appellant's Representative;

Mr. Gray questioned Mr. Reed if he had made the decision to demote Ms. Makintubbee based upon the testimony from the pre-disciplinary hearing and he responded, "yes." CLOSING ARGUMENT BY RESPONDENT'S REPRESENTATIVE: yis. Peggy Cunningham reminded the Board members that the issue is whether the demotion, as recommended, is warranted. It has been the intent of the respondent to show the members of the Board the effect of yis. Makintubbee's failure to appear, as she had agreed to do, upon other employees and to show that this was not the first time that Ms. yiakintubbee had not performed her job properly. Ms. Cunningham said that a person in a management position should set an example for the other employees. Ms. Makintubbee had agreed she would pick up the cafeteria keys at 7:00 a.m., August 26, 1991, then go to her job site. Evidence showed that Ms. Makintubbee failed to notify her supervisor she would not be at work on August 26, 1991, but notified the hourly workers the day before on Sunday, August 25, 1991. Ms. Makintubbee has been employed by the district for several years and there were no indications she did not know how to notify the Child Nutrition Services office. yis. Cunningham said Ms. Makintubbee' s assignment to Parker Elementary School was made only after Ms. Sue Mitchell had explained to Ms. yiakintubbee the expectations of a manager's position. When given the hance to prove herself as a manager, Ms. Makintubbee chose to miss the training and not call her supervisor when she knew she would not be at vork. After considering all the evidence and testimony, Ms. Cunningham said it was the hope of the respondent that the Board would conclude the iemotion was warranted.

CLOSING ARGUMENT BY APPELLANT'S REPRESENTATIVE: yir. David Gray said there was more to the case than just the demotion of in employee. It was a case against the progressive discipline concept she union and the administration had worked so hard to make effective. Ms. Makintubbee had her daughter call her employees not to report to flzork on August 26, 1991, but Ms. Makintubbee did show up for work on August 26th with enough time to contact her employees and have them report for work on August 26, 27, 28, or 29 and to do the work they were required to compl^ete. Mr. Gray said Ms. Makintubbee was a 12 year iistrict employee and the Significant Event Report showed only one previously unexcused absence (January 30 through February 1). Also, the idministration had changed their testimony and said that maybe one day was authorized. Ms. Makintubbee had not been informed of the numerous documentation reports that had been written regarding her performance and had not had a chance to respond to these reports. Mr. Gray said that Ms. Makintubbee was 5 hours late in reporting for work, the day prior to the actual starting day for the hourly workers, and that tardiness did not warrant a $1,500 demotion for the rest of her

HEARING (CONTINUED) employment with the district. Under the progressive discipline program either a written warning or a suspension would be the proper discipline. Documentation from the last year did not show repeated tardiness. An erroneous cafeteria kitchen evaluation, and an exhibit without signatures, were admitted for tonight's hearing but were not admitted during the pre-disciplinary hearing. Mr. Gray said that testimony had been submitted alleging Ms. Makintubbee had caused "irreversible financial harm to her subordinates," but then testimony was given saying the employees were actually paid for working. Under progressive discipline, if employees do not perform their jobs they are suspended for "so many" days and then the process is repeated. For Ms. Makintubbee, there is not a running record of progressive discipline. Mr. Gray appealed to the Board to give Ms. Makintubbee the same opportunity for progressive discipline that all other support employees receive. PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW were submitted by both representatives.

Discussion

Prior to voting on the proposed $10 increase in the district's contribution toward the cost of health insurance for teachers, the Board discussed various aspects of the recommendation, including the fact that the increase could not be initiated without Board action. It was pointed out that administration and the union's representatives would meet at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, January 22, 1992, and jointly agree on the communication that will go to the teachers about the item. They also discussed that the $10 increase would not be retroactive, but would begin on February 15, 1992, and continue for the remainder of the year.

During the discussion, Mrs. Thelma R. Parks questioned why the issue was coming up now when it had been discussed in November and December. Mrs. rhelma R. Parks requested the record reflect that she voted "aye" with reservations. Leo Hise said he voted no because of the use of the word legotiation. He noted the Board is not in negotiations and expressed some concern that the Board and the union understand this is not part of the process. 4r.

2^ MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 1992

DISCUSSION Mrs. Thelma R. Parks made the following comments concerning the minutes.

.

The January 6, 1992, Board Members' Comments did not provide a full statement of her remarks. The statement as written appeared trivial. Mrs. Parks requested that her comments be listened to before editing.

Regarding the minutes of January 13, 1992, Mrs. Parks said they did not show the specific reasons why she could not support the adoption of the curriculum. She said courses should have been included in the guide for students who were not going to college and vocational classes should have been added. The minutes did not reflect this. 3.

The January 21, 1992, minutes did not reflect that she asked why the insurance question was coming up now when it was discussed in November and December. She asked that the Board minutes be corrected to reflect what she said.

Mr. Mike Fogarty requested that the Board Clerk confer with Mrs. Parks to determine the corrections to the minutes in lieu of drafting the language during tonight's meeting.

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks explained that she had served on the national committee nominating individuals to fill the vacancies on the steering committee for the Council of Urban Boards of Education. The nominees were selected based upon region, race, gender, and functions on their local boards. She was also asked to serve on the national nominating committee for next year, which will be her third year to serve.

Mrs. Parks said that when meeting with Representative Glenn English, it was asked if funding for local programs could come directly to the school districts rather than going to other places first. She also pointed out that Federal Chapter 2 funds could be used for Board members attending national meetings. These meetings have value in that they give credence to the efforts on the local level and also help implement other programs within the district. She said the meetings she attended were productive and she looks forward to serving on the nominating committee again next year. Mrs. Parks noted that the Council of Urban Boards of Education paid a portion of her expenses to attend the nominating committee meeting.

PERSONNEL, PAYROLL, AND ENCUMBRANCES (CONTINUED)

DISCUSSION When discussing the item, Mrs. Thelma R. Parks said she had a number of questions regarding Personnel, Payroll, and Encumbrances, and Items A, C, F, H, and J under Purchasing and General Business. She asked that the items be discussed on an individual basis. Mrs. Betty Hill said she had questions regarding Item E.

Personnel Concerning the Positive Tomorrows program, Mrs. Parks asked if it was Board sponsored and if so, to what elementary school the person being recommended for employment would be assigned. Dr. Betty Mason, Assistant Superintendent, Educational Services Division, said the employee would be assigned to the Positive Tomorrows site to serve homeless students from all over the city. Mrs. Parks asked about the difference between a relief custodian and a traveling custodian. Mr. Vern Moore, Executive Director, Personnel Services Division, talked about the difference in salaries and job assignments. Mrs. Parks also asked what the word "other" meant, as listed in the category. Personnel Leaves and Other. Mr. Moore said this is the listing from Board policy that had been used for some time; that it could refer to political leave or some other types of leave. Mr. Moore also responded to questions from Mrs. Parks about transfers and terminations. He said transfers are not normally listed in the agenda for Board approval and terminations are listed in the agenda following his receiving the information, if that agenda is not already posted. Mrs. Parks said she did not want to see in the April agenda a termination that had been delivered to personnel in January. Mr. Moore said that is not the procedure.

Encumbrances Under this section of the agenda, Mrs. Parks questioned an encumbrance for Southwestern Bell. Mr. Belphry Dean, Supervisor, Purchasing Department, said this was an estimate for services for December, January and February. He explained that the actual bills will be paid from the encumbered amount as the bills become due. Mrs. Parks asked about three other encumbrances. The encumbrance for Barlow and Associates was for a variety of professional services for the personnel department; the encumbrance for equipment used by the research department, and the encumbrance for taxi service for transporting special education students. Purchasing and General Business Item A: Mrs. Parks asked for further information about the evaluation services to be provided by Oklahoma City University. Dr. Betty Mason explained that Westwood Even Start is a federally funded program and the Federal government requires an evaluation of programs it funds. OCU was selected from several who were sent bids to do the evaluation. Item C: Mrs. Parks asked about the cost of the shipping for Item C, instructional aids. Mrs. Myrna DeBose, Administrator, Chapter 1, stated that shipping would run about 5% of the cost of the material. Item E: Mrs. Betty Hill asked about computer placement in middle schools. Dr. William Hartman, Administrator, Vocational Education, explained that the computers were going in four high schools as well as two middle schools (feeder schools) which were selected as pilot sites for the program. Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked about the staff training and Dr. Hartman said existing personnel would be used to work with counselors and media personnel on how to use the information, which has been developed bythe State Department of Vo Tech.

Item F: Noting that it was a topic of discussion at a recent national meeting she attended, Mrs. Parks asked if the district had applied for additional federal funds for teaching about drug and alcohol abuse. Mrs. Marva Williamson, Supervisor, Drug Education, responded that emergency grants of $70,000 had been received and that this item was being paid for by those grants and through a special grant from United Way. Mrs. Kay Floyd asked why Hoover 5/6 Grade Center was not included and Mrs. Williamson said that the staff at that school had chosen to teach drug education themselves without outside consultants.

Item H: Mrs. Parks asked about the mobil lab; its use and its teachers. Mrs. Myrna DeBose, Administrator, Chapter 1, stated the recommended purchase was for internal equipment so that the lab could be refurbished for use as a mobil classroom for private school students. She pointed out that classes could not be on private school property, but could be placed near the school in the mobil unit. The teachers are assigned to Chapter 1. Item J: Upon inquiry from Mrs. Parks, Mrs. Gracy Taylor, Administrator, Staff Development and Training, explained the request for delay in submitting the information requested by the Board had come from the chairperson of the Staff Development Advisory Committee.

Personnel Report Recommend that the following persons be employed as of the effective date specified; and that contracts or assignment notifications with the appropriate persons herein listed be approved and executed in the name of the District by the superintendent or person designated by him; also, that all other personnel recommendations, including terminations, leaves, retirements, and resignations be approved as listed.

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 1992 M-26

BOARD MEMBERS' BUSINESS/COMMENTS (CONTINUED) COMMENTS

Mr. Mike Fogarty said the reason for the tonight's first reading of the Board policies is to give Board members time to have their questions answered. He said changes in Board Policy 1-08: High School Curriculum Adoption were intended to reflect that in the future the Board expects to see the appropriate policy with the pertinent changes at the same time any documents are brought to the Board for approval.

Concerning the section on graduation requirements, Mrs. Betty Hill said that she could not support, at this time, economics being a required course. She said in an urban district there are other subjects that better meet the needs of the students. She also asked what was taught in the district's economics course, who teaches the course, and what qualifications are required to teach the course. She also noted that in looking at the districts populace she felt one of the most important courses the district could offer students would be a speech class. She suggested serious consideration be given to the elimination of the economics requirement. Mrs. Kay Floyd said that economics has been offered in the district for two years with two years of classes having met that requirement. She said she had a severe concern with the Board going back and changing a requirement. If another course needs to be added to the high school requirements then that would be appropriate. She said educational systems are important to economic development and our students are living in a world where the economy and economics are discussed daily. She further expressed concern about the students who have already fulfilled that requirement, if the economics requirement were dropped.

Mr. Leo Hise said understanding economics is necessary to understanding a TV news cast or newspaper articles about what is happening in the world. He also felt that a lack of economic knowledge is creating turmoil within our country through misunderstandings about the operation of a capitalistic society. In other discussion, Mrs. Betty Hill suggested a change in Board Policy 1-08: High School Curriculum Adoption, third paragraph, last sentence: Shange the word should to shall.

!3r. Orel Peak said he would like to have continuity from K-4 grades oncerning the need to assist students in developmental guidance. He would like to see this continued through middle and high schools, perhaps with a group guidance program or a course offering in social psychology dealing with the problems of a multi-cultural society and in particular, helping students to understand ways to circumvent problems that have become prominent in the district within the last few days. 3e said the course could be an elective and recommended the Board ::onsider this issue.

flrs. Thelma R. Parks, regarding Board Policy B-29: Policy Development and Dissemination, fifth paragraph, said she was concerned with the Language. She said Board members are policy makers and there have been times when policies have been changed that do not reflect Board input. 3he said she would like to see the language changed to say that all policy manuals are the property of the Board. She further said there ire times during the annual updating of the policy manuals that Board nembers need access to the manuals. She said Board members should have iccess to the manuals at all times and all changes should be done on the oasis of inserts sent to the Board members.

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 10, 1992 M-27 =

BOARD MEMBERS’ BUSINESS/COMMENTS (CONTINUED)

Dr. Arthur Steller said manuals are updated after the annual summer review of all Board policies. At that time, all manuals are recalled for updating, then during the year, if policies are changed inserts are sent to manual holders for updating. He said the problem with changing the language is that it would affect all persons having manuals and if the inserts were not changed with the new policies, there could be problems with the implementation of new Board policies. Dr. Steller said there have been circumstances, on an individual basis, when Board members have chosen to update their own Board policy manual and if Mrs. Parks would like to have language to that effect he would have the language incorporated into Policy B-29 for the next Board reading.

MOTION CARRIED 7-0. By consensus, the Board agreed to change Board Policy B-29: POLICY DEVELOPMENT AND DISSEMINATION, Page 2, Next to last paragraph; deleting the underlined sentence. DELETE: Board members are responsible for keeping their Board manuals current themselves or through the annual updating process. At the end of their teinn Board members are to turn in their policy manuals.

COMMENTS ON BOARD POLICY B-29 Mrs. Thelma R. Parks stated that she felt uncomfortable with the language in Board Policy B-29: POLICY DEVELOPMENT AND DISSEMINATION, 1st sentence in paragraph 3. She said that policy modifications should rest with the Board rather than the Superintendent. She said that she did not feel that was the function of the superintendent.

Mr. Orel Peak agreed and suggested changing the word superintendent to Board. Mr. Frank Kellert stated that the superintendent should be the one to nake recommendations since someone needs to be held accountable to make sure policies are in order for whatever reason. Mr. Betty Hill said the superintendent was the one to bring recommendations for change to the Board, but felt the word submitting should be used in lieu of initiating (2nd paragraph, 1st sentence).

yellowing discussion of various alternatives, the words for Board approval were suggested by Mrs. Parks to be added after the words policy nodifications (2nd paragraph, 1st sentence). Mr. Mike Fogarty reminded the Board that the reasons for modifying the policy was so it would be clear that staff was being held accountable for bringing policy revisions to the Board on a timely basis.

COMMENTS ON BOARD POLICY 1-38 Mr. Orel Peak said the proposed requirements addressed the academically inclined but not the other students. Mrs. Betty Hill agreed, saying that the needs of those students just below college preparatory were not being addressed. Mrs. TheLma R. Parks reminded the Board of her concern about vocational courses for students not planning to attend college and the need to have these types of courses in the curriculum. Further discussion centered around technical education and whether a student taking vo tech courses could still meet the requirements for graduation. Mrs. Parks gave the example of a 3 hour vocational class; the additional amount of time it takes to receive credits (including travel to the votech campuses) and still have time within a normal schedule to take the required curriculum classes and complete the required number of credit hours for graduation. Dr. Phil Odom, Director, Secondary Schools, said Dr. William Hartman, Administrator, Vocational Department, assured him that it could be done. Mr. Mike Fogarty asked that Dr. Hartman prepare a memorandum for the Board explaining how the vocational courses meld with the graduation requirements, considering travel time, etc. Mrs. Kay Floyd pointed out that there were courses identified students scoring lower on the math and science ITBS tests .

DISCUSSION

Mr. Mike Fogarty introduced the two topics for discussion as listed.

1.

PLANNING

Presented by:

1.

Dr. Susan Purser, Director, Planning, Research, and Information Services Division

Dr. Susan Purser introduced the planning cycle.

She also talked about: • • A.

A video was shown to the Board regarding the roundtable process. Dr. Purser also told about the six task forces that were started by the roundtable.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. B.

Constant assessment District achievement and teamwork

Teachers New School Structures Curriculum Graduation Standards Training Facilities

Mr. John Fink, Senior Research Associate, Planing, Research and Evaluation Department, talked about the student projections and noted that we have been losing about 1.5 percent of our students during each of the last 5 years. The same approximate percentage (1.3%) is projected for next year. Projected enrollment for 1992-93 is 36,018 students. The largest decrease is projected for the high schools (approximately 4%).

Principals are now reviewing the research departments projections to see how they compare with what is known at the building site, i.e., housing pattern changes in their area. C.

Dr. Susan Purser pointed out that student projections are used for staffing and portable classroom movement purposes. However, adjustments always have to be made.

D.

Dr. Richard Weeter, Administrator, Planning, Research, and Evaluation Department, talked about the Indicators of Success by Board Goals and said the data will be updated as information becomes available instead of just once a year, as previously done.

In closing. Dr. Susan Purser said that the presentation demonstrated planning in process.

COMMENTS

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks, using the open house attendance chart as an example, asked how the number of those attending was determined. She asked specifically about Douglass High School, saying that the number listed would mean almost one parent per student attended open house. Dr. Purser responded that all persons (family members, school adopters, etc.) attending that evening were counted. Mrs. Parks said that she would be interested in seeing a breakout of the types of persons attending.

DISCUSSION: PLANNING


w MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 17, 1992

84-10

DISCUSSION (CONTINUED) DISCUSSION: PLANNING

Mrs. Kay Floyd asked how duplications are avoided. Dr. Purser stated schools devise their own ways, often counting first hour attendance only. She also pointed out that rooms compete with one another for the largest number in attendance. Mrs. Parks said this could cause cheating.

On another topic, Mr. Orel Peak asked about students who are not being permitted to take the district's standardized tests. Dr. Purser said that a student who is not English proficient may be exempted by parental request. Without that, the student will be involved in the assessment process. Mr. Peak commented about needing to meet the needs of lower achieving students, noting that we are not doing enough to help some students achieve success.

Mr. Leo Hise talked about the census data, suggesting that immigration reports, "move-ins," and economic trends should be used in determining enrollment. He suggested this especially for schools in the lower socio-economic areas of the district. Mrs. Betty Hill asked about the percentage of students functioning at grade level. Also, she talked about the decreased high school enrollment. She asked if the trend began in the 4th grade and noted there seems to be a desire on the part of parents to keep 5th and 6th grades in the elementary schools. She also expressed that middle schools may not be meeting the needs of our students.

Mrs. Kay Floyd asked that the research department look at reasons why there was such a low projection for Ridgeview and Stonegate Elementary Schools with a gain showing for Western Village Elementary School. Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked how it would impact the scores if a student took only a part of the battery of tests. Dr. Purser stated that the student is not reported with a zero; the student takes a make-up or alternate test; and that if a child doesn't complete a test, averages are calculated only on the students taking the complete battery of tests. Mrs. Parks asked about increased test scores and asked how scores could be evaluated if the same test is not used for all testing. Dr. Purser stated that all the tests being used were equitable and should not affect the scoring. Additional discussion centered around testing, testing levels, exemptions. Fall vs Spring testing, and other aspects of the topics being presented. Mrs. Parks asked how the total enrollment was determined. Dr. Purser iiscussed how students enroll and principals provide the data to the research department.

Mr. Mike Fogarty closed the discussion and thanked the presenters. RECESS

DISCUSSION: EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

A five minute recess was called by Mr. Fogarty. EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 17, 1992 51-11 =

DISCUSSION (CONTINUED) Mr. Vern Moore began the presentation and introduced Mr. Mark Reed. He pointed out Mrs. Marva Williamson, Supervisor, Drug Education, was also in attendance to answer any questions Board members might have regarding the district's drug education portion of the employee assistance program.

Mr. Mark Reed talked about the different types of programs the district offered and explained the district had chosen to refer employees to outside agencies rather than employ in-house counselors. He said the program is designed to help employees who might have a substance abuse problem, alcoholism, emotional or behavioral type problems, or other social or family problems. Mr. Vern Moore emphasized that the employee assistance program does not replace disciplinary action; but employees are encouraged to use the employee assistance program before disciplinary action has begun. Mr. Orel Peak noted the number of workers' compensation claims in the maintenance and custodial departments. He commented about whether there was a relationship between these claims and the worker's feelings about how they are regarded. He suggested that a study in this area might be beneficial. Mr. Peak asked Mr. David Gray, President, Oklahoma City Federation of Teachers, if he felt the district was fair in the way support personnel was handled. Mr. Gray said he felt the district was fair. Mr. Mark Reed also commented on the district's seven step progressive discipline program. It was discussed that the procedure is designed to save an employee by identifying problems early rather than for disciplining and firing an employee.

Mr. Orel Peak said a common complaint is that central office administrators are dealt with differently than support or certified employees. He suggested checks and balances should be established for all groups, including central office personnel who supervise other employees. He challenged the Board to come to grips with this; to be fair and consistent with every employee within the district. Mr. Vern Moore stated that Board policy establishes progressive discipline for all employees including central office administrators.

Mr. Leo Hise commented that support employees and teachers have bargaining units. Administrative personnel do not. They exist under a different set of rules. Supervisory personnel are expected to fit the leaders philosophy. As the discussion ended, Mr. Fogarty thanked the participants.

Rivera vs. Fogarty, et al.z This case is a discrimination action filed against the district in Puerto Rico. A special appearance and request for issuance of a show cause order has been filed. This pleading asks why this case should proceed in Puerto Rico as contacts are minimal between 1-89, individual defendants, and Puerto Rico.

The disposition of the order should be reported back to the Board in April.

James vs. Oklahoma City Public Schools; This is a Federal civil rights suit filed by a former substitute teacher. A motion to dismiss all claims on behalf of all defendants has been filed. The response for the plaintiff (James) is due March 4, 1992, and a ruling is anticipated from the court after that date.

Dowell Case; Plaintiff appellants have filed a request with the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals to be allowed to exceed the 50 page limitation on their opening brief and submit up to a 75 page brief. The district has not objected. Due to the complexity of the case it is anticipated the Court of Appeals will grant the motion.

MOTION CARRIED 7-0. DISCUSSION ITEM A: Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked why the fourth company who submitted a bid on lesson plan books/printed forms was not successful. Mr. Dharles Allen, Manager, Purchasing Department, responded that the prices from the fourth company were too high. Mrs. Parks also asked if the successful bidders were local companies and Mr. Allen replied that two Df the companies were local, but School Specialty Supply, which would be supplying one item, was located in Kansas and was the only company which Dould supply the item.

[TEM F: Mrs. Kay Floyd asked what schools would receive the material Listed in the item. Dr. Susan Purser, Director, Planning, Research, and Lnformation Services Division, said she would determine the exact schools participating in this program and report back to the Board. [TEM G: Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked if the instructional supplies being ordered were for the 92-93 school year. Mr. Charles Allen, Manager, Purchasing Department, stated the supplies will be partially used this fear, if the items received are out of stock in the Supply and Distribution Department. Most of the material, however, will be for Pali orders from the schools. Mrs. Parks expressed concern that funds were being expended this year for material that would be used during the lext fiscal year. [TEM J: Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked if Mr. Sam Larson, the person recommended to produce a nutrition video was an employee of the district, and if not, what were his district ties? She also asked if :he production would focus on local employees in the nutritional :urogram, or if the presentation had already been produced. Mr. Art dode. Director, Service Center Operations, responded that Mr. Larson was lot an employee of the district but did reside in the State of Oklahoma, le said the video would be made using local people and telling the local child nutritional story for the district's patrons.

Discussion (Continued)

ITEM K: Mrs. Thelma R. Parks expressed concern over the language of the item where it states... "This agreement has been approved by the district's Associate General Counsel as to form and content." She felt the word approved should be changed to reviewed. Dr. Steller said the change would be made. Regarding Item K, Mr. Orel Peak said he felt it was irregular to have an arrangement between the district and the Oklahoma Department of Corrections for the loan of equipment without compensation. He expressed concern that if the equipment is used outside the district and is broken and/or naturally worn out, the district would be without that particular piece of equipment. Mr. Art Bode, Director, Service Center Operation, responded that the district no longer has enough personnel to do grounds work, but that the Department of Corrections does. By approving this agreement, the Department of Corrections will compensate the district by repairing the tree spade to working condition (but the equipment will remain the property of the district), donating trees for planting at district school sites, and do the actual tree planting on school property as identified at no charge to the district.

DISCUSSION OF ITEM I: 4r.

He ilso suggested that the bidders be asked to reconsider the hourly price, le stated he felt the price was too high. He further suggested seeking in attorney general's opinion regarding prohibiting retired district administrators to do business with the district within a two year time â– rarae after they retire.

MOTION CARRIED 4 aye, 2 no, and 1 abstention.

DISCUSSION Mrs. Betty Hill suggested that these items should be brought up when it is time to review policies for changes.

Mr. Orel Peak asked why policy revisions would be preferable to making these changes now. He said the district may have deviated from Oklahoma School Law in using consultants in the past and the Board should be aware of what is happening within the district.

R. #306 REMOVE FROM THE TABLE; EMPLOYMENT OF OCWSULTANTS AND TRANSFER OF FUNDS


18. MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 2, 1992

UNFINISHED BUSINESS (CONTINUED) DISCUSSION (CONTINUED)

Mr. Frank Kellert said that if the Board approves every consultant employed by the district with no exceptions, the Board will be moving decisions away from decentralized management. He further expressed concerns regarding the Board's ability to evaluate the numerous appointments of consultants used throughout the district. He said staff should be trusted to manage their own budgets with oversight. Mrs. Thelma R. Parks noted that Board policy authorized the Superintendent to spend up to a certain amount without prior Board approval. Hiring of consultants (over this amount) should have some restraints in place and (Board) approval of the expenditure.

Mrs. Kay Floyd said she felt the motions are in conflict with current policies that give the Superintendent the authority to delegate responsibility to various levels of supervisors. She said she was not aware of any examples of a consultant being employed that the Board was not aware of, nor was she aware of any transfer of funds by the Superintendent.

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks mentioned the past president of Hunter's College being used as a consultant without the knowledge of the Board. Mrs. Kay Floyd said the Board was duly notified of this consultant. However, she said a correction might need to be made in using the system. She suggested reviewing the policies.

Mr. Leo Hise stated he did not see how the two items could be approved without relating them to Board policy and staff should provide the Board with appropriately revised Board policies. Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked if there were staff present who could refer the Board to the Board policy concerning consultants. She said not laving the appropriate Board policy did not preclude the request by a Board member to have these items brought before the Board.

BOARD MEMBERS' BUSINESS/COMMENTS (CONTINUED) BOARD MEMBERS* BUSINESS/ COMMENTS

DISCUSSION

Mr. Leo Hise suggested that other Board members should also consider going to the Council of Great City Schools conference and Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C., to petition the legislators to support education bills. COMMENTS

Mrs. Betty Hill asked that staff review Board regulation I-21-R2: INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS (RESPONSIBILITY AND RULES FOR MONITORING ELIGIBILITY). She said she felt the regulation is not feasible for students. Mr. Orel Peak said that with the implementation of the Americans With Disabilities Act in January, Mr. Mark Reed, coordinator of that program should report to the Board on the status of that implementation and what is being planned. Concerning the earlier comments about Page-Woodson Fifth Year Center, Mr. Leo Hise stated that we should look at the placement of an administrative intern at the school if problems do exist. He also commended the administration regarding the closing of school campuses. He suggested that the Superintendent's response to the citizens who commented should include what the suggestions would cost to implement. He noted that a lot of suggestions are received, but the public is not aware of the actual costs to implement the suggestions.

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks said that before citizens are asked to support a bond issue, the district should answer questions from patrons regarding equipment and supplies. She said items should be equitably divided throughout all the schools. She also commented that it is difficult to present a positive image when things happen that reflect a different image. Mrs. Parks said she is going to continue to visit schools and give the message to the parents that they should talk with the administrators at the schools and the central office about their concerns. Mrs. Parks asked that staff make the necessary changes to have graduation exercises of the schools in her district on different dates, since Board members are expected to participate in the activities of schools in their district.

COMMENTS/BUSINESS

Mrs. Betty Hill said she has had a concern for many years regarding the fifth grade centers and recently completed a survey in which she received over 1,000 responses. She said the survey results showed that the fifth grade centers had never been accepted within the district. Because of the results of the survey, Mrs. Hill said, I move to place on the agenda for the April 20, 1992, Board meeting the following item: Because busing ten year old children for one year discourages parents from being actively involved at the school and deprives our children the opportunity to be involved in extra-curricular activities; I move that the Board direct the administration to return the fifth grade to their neighborhood K-4 schools for the 1992-93 school year where the best learning environment for children is achieved and sound educational principals are maintained and that the savings gained by this change be used to improve the new K-5 instructional program and facilities.

COMMENTS Mrs. Thelma R. Parks said that because of the number of parents and people involved, she would prefer parents having an opportunity to have input before the item is presented to the Board next month. She said it appeared that the Board was deviating from the normal procedure for making significant changes. To have the item placed on the agenda for discussion would be alright but, she felt, this was a major situation and the way this item is being proposed was not a procedure that had been used in the past. She said she would be in accord in placing the item on the agenda for discussion and then vote on the item at a later date.

Mrs. Parks said her concern was that if parents and patrons of the district did not have the opportunity to discuss the item the Board would be in the same position as when Southeast High School closed. She felt parents should be given an opportunity to have input about this decision, since it is a tremendous decision that would change the structure of the school system.

Mr. Mike Fogarty reminded the Board that the vote taken tonight would not affect the current structure; the vote would only allow the item to be on a future agenda. Mrs. Parks commented that the wording of the motion stated "I move that the Board direct the administration to return the fifth grade to their neighborhood K-4 schools for the 1992-93 school year." She said it was not just a matter of just putting the item on the agenda, but a matter of changing the structure (of the schools). Mrs. Parks requested a clarification on the motion before the vote was called. She said if this was an item to be placed on the agenda for next month, she would support it. But, if it was an item to be placed on the agenda for action, the Board would not be following the procedure that has been used in the past.

COMMENTS

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks commented that she had asked for a point of clarification. She said a lot of things are done by the Board that are lone illegally, without proper procedures, and without proper policies. She said an item is being brought tonight without being discussed and to ce voted on at the next meeting and that is not the procedure for the Soard. She also said she wanted her vote and the minutes to reflect that "we are in violation of policies to place things on this Board's agenda for action at the next meeting, and I voted no." Mrs. Parks commented the Board had taken exceptional privilege tonight to do something that Board policy did not provide for. She said she had ceen on the Board for the past 4 years and there were certain people who nake motions, who bring up discussions, who make statements, with iisregard for the other members of the Board, and disregard for Board policies. She said it appears to her that the Board needs to be consistent about what is allowed to come before the Board in the form of action items. She said Mrs. Hill had been on the Board longer than anyone, and she had heard Mrs. Hill say "it was not the time or the place, and was inappropriate to do this because we have not allowed people to give input." Mrs. Parks stated that was the reason the


MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1992

BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS/BUSINESS (CONTINUED) district had so many problems because the Board does whatever it wants, when the Board wants, and without regard for Board policies. She said the Board breaks its own policies as often as the Board wants to when it comes to the point of doing something to satisfy an individual member. Mrs. Parks said "the time has come when the Board should be more mindful about what the Board is doing. People are watching the Board, people are looking to the Board, and the Board violates their own Board policies, at the expense of satisfying somebody, or satisfying a few Board members. She said there are seven of us, not 2, 3, and 4." 2.

Mrs. Parks also commented on her attendance at the Science Fair where students received honors for their projects. She said 700 to 800 students were in attendance, but very few administrators. Nor were there media reporters in attendance. She said the district spends a lot of time talking about what is being done in the best interest of children, and the Science Fair would have been an excellent opportunity for administrators, and the superintendent to be there. She said people should have been there taking pictures of the students who had excelled. She said it was unfair for the students and parents. She said things are done to cause people to have negative attitudes toward the school district, because on one hand the district supports what it wants to and on the other hand the students are left to "dangle along" when every principal should have been in attendance to see their students receive their awards. The public attended the Science Fair and noticed that the school administrators did not attend and she felt it was a disgrace. She strongly urged that the district increase support of their students.

3.

Mr. Leo Hise said he appreciated the courage shown by Mrs. Betty Hill in her attempt to make a positive move toward improving the school system and student conditions. He also talked about the two day workshop he attended on April 3 and 4 for newly/reelected school Board members mandated by the State Department of Education.

4.

Mr. Orel Peak said the issue of the fifth grade centers is a very sensitive issue, but given the proper opportunity for exposure the idea may well be accepted. However, he expressed concern over some legal questions and district sensitivities, and said that democratic representation might have warranted another procedure. He further said that democracy also proceeds on the issues of a vote, which had been taken, and he expressed reservations concerning that vote.

5.

Mrs. Kay Floyd talked about the OSSBA Day At The Capitol held on April 2, 1992, and noted that she, Mrs. Parks, and Mrs. Hill attended. She felt the event was very successful considering the busy schedules of legislators this time of year. She further commented on the State Science Fair held on April 2, 3, and 4 in Ada, Oklahoma. Students from Oklahoma City Public Schools, selected from the Regional Science Fair, won 21 awards on the State level. Mrs. Floyd said that Rebecca Scruggs is the first student from our district to have her science paper published. Mrs. Floyd said more support is needed for the science fair. She also mentioned that two high schools did not have students represented. She said some schools do more to help their students to achieve by providing transportation and helping set up the student's displays. She asked the superintendent to look into ways of providing support

Some of the schools were able to provide support to the students, other schools did not, and in some of the schools the responsibility is left to the teachers. She suggested that the district attempt to get help from the Oklahoma City Public Schools Foundation and the schools' activity funds.

Mrs. Floyd also asked for a legal opinion from the general counsel regarding the proposed agenda item of Mrs. Hill to close the fifth grade centers, in order to clearly understand what Board policy states and what is required to follow that policy.

CITIZENS' COMMENTS

LEGAL REPCRT

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks said that while accolades are in order for Mrs. Hill's courage, the proposed agenda item of returning the fifth grade centers to the K-6 type schools is not a new idea and has been discussed many times. She apologized for getting a little carried away because of her concern of being in violation of policy. She asked that the record reflect her support of the fifth grade centers being a part of the K-5 schools. She said she did not want anyone to think she was against the motion, but her concern had to do with principle.

LEGAL

REPORT

Laurie Jones of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau and Moon (general counsel firm), reported as follows on current legal matters regarding: TAYLCK V. 1-89

1-89 V. FREEDOM â–ĄF CHOICE

Taylor v. 1-89: This case involves an appeal to the Oklahoma County District Court filed by a teacher who was terminated about 2 1/2 years ago. She said there has not been a lot of activity since the appeal was filed, and the teacher's attorney has withdrawn from the case. The time period allotted by the district court for procuring another attorney has passed without evidence of an attorney being retained. A motion to dismiss has been filed, which is set for hearing on April 17, 1992.

Oklahoma City Public Schools 1-89 v. Freedom of Choice; A Breach of Contract action which was brought on behalf of the district for payments not received for educational services performed by the district. A confession of judgement from the defendant has been taken, and counsel will now proceed with collection remedies. Mrs. Jones stated she was not optimistic that full collection of monies owed the district will be achieved.


MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1992 M-9 LEGAL REPORT (CONTINUED)

Pitts V. Freeman Case: This is a case decided by the U. S. Supreme Court on April 1, 1992. A copy of the decision was received and contains several concurring opinions. Mrs. Jones will prepare a written summary for the Board. She said basically the Supreme Court held that a school district can achieve unitary status incrementally. Interestingly, the U. S. Supreme Court cited OCPS I89 V. Dowell, to again emphasize the goals of the Supreme Court and all district courts should return local control to the Boards of Education. In the Pitts v. Freeman case the court spent a lot of time looking at the details in the record, which was not done in the Dowell case. Recommendation that two individuals attend the executive session as they are named defendants in a lawsuit and a settlement offer will be discussed in the executive session.

COMMENTS

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked if Board members should approve the request prior to Mrs. Jones making the recommendation for individuals to attend the executive session. Mrs. Jones said it was her opinion that if Board members had objections it should be known prior to going into executive session. Logistically it was just more convenient to meet with the individuals and the Board tonight. This procedure is appropriate since all are parties to the lawsuit. Mrs. Parks commented that a staff person attended the executive session at the last Board meeting and that it was reported no one had an objection. She said she feels an executive session is designed for Board members and the attorney. She said the same situation occurred during the last meeting, and she objected to the person being in the executive session, but Mrs. Jones said it was permissible as long as the Board had consensus. Mrs. Parks questioned when the Board approved the General Counsel's asking the individuals to attend the executive session. Mr. Mike Fogarty said it was the general counsel's recommendation that it would be appropriate for these individuals to attend the executive session for the purposes of discussing the particular legal matter as it appears in the agenda. He said if the Board votes to approve the agenda item then the Board will also have approved the presence of the individuals listed. If a majority of the Board votes to exclude the individuals, then they will not be permitted to attend the executive session.

Mrs. Parks responded it was her understanding that general counsel would send a letter to the Board notifying them of her request to have specified individuals attend the executive session and for them to contact general counsel if there was an objection. That was not done and the recommendation had been made.

Mr. Fogarty said, in his opinion, it would be inappropriate for general counsel to poll Board members on the issue. Mrs. Parks commented it would not be polling the Board, but just a matter of notifying the Board that general counsel had requested the individuals to attend. She also said she feels the Board violates their own Board policies. Mr. Fogarty said it was his feeling that general counsel should be expected to recommend staff that would be appropriate to participate in the executive sessions.

PITTS V. FREEMAN


TO. MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1992

»-10 LEGAL REPORT (CONTINUED) .EGAL REPC«T

Mrs. Kay Floyd said that the agenda is jointly agreed upon by the President of the Board and the Superintendent. If the Board President was aware of the request from general counsel then proper Board policy had been followed in placing an item on the agenda.

Mrs. Parks commented that she was aware, as past Board President, of the approval process for the agenda, but she also had the experience after the agenda was approved of additional items being presented on green sheets (addendum). Mrs. Parks said that an attorney generals opinion had been requested for clarification of the procedure of having individuals attend executive sessions.

Mrs. Jones responded she had not understood that a formal attorney generals opinion had been requested, but she could formulate a question to be submitted through either the appropriate legislator or the State Superintendent of Instruction. Mr. Fogarty said the request had been for a written opinion by counsel on the statute governing the executive sessions and that opinion had been received.

Mrs. Parks said that might have been what Mr. Fogarty had asked for, but that she had specifically requested, in the presence of Board members, for an opinion. She also said that State Law identified legal counsel and Board members as persons who should attend executive sessions. At the request of legal counsel additional persons can attend, but subject to approval by the Board. Mr. Leo Hise asked Mrs. Laurie Jones to again remind the Board about individual Board members being cautious when making statements publicly on items that are in litigation or items that could possibly bring about litigation after the Board has taken action. Also, about the responsibilities of Board members for protecting the district, the children, and the taxpayers money.

IREASORER'S EIEPC«T

IREASURER' S

L.

REPORT

Mrs. Anne Hsieh, Treasurer, presented a routine Treasurer's report. (A copy of the written summary report will be maintained on file for five years in the office of the Clerk, in compliance with state statutes.)

Mr. Leo Hise requested that Mrs. Hsieh meet with Mrs. Pam Deering, director. Budget and Financial Management Division, and provide to the Board a comparison of the projected/actual budget for the 1991-92 school i^ear.

SUPERINTENDENT' S

REPORT

Mr. Darrel Shepard, Executive Assistant to the Superintendent, commented that testing (ITBS) had begun today and the administration is excited about what is happening in the schools. He also commented that the overall daily attendance for Spring Break School was 4,700 students. He congratulated staff for the hard work in making Spring Break School a success. Mr. Mike Fogarty said concerns had been raised regarding test week being scheduled the same week daylight savings time becomes effective.

Mrs. Betty Hill suggested that Spring Break might be scheduled at a iifferent time next year so testing could be scheduled differently.

MOTION CARRIED 7-0. DISCUSSION REGARDING ENCUMBRANCES:

u

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked about certain encumbrances and the type of services provided. She said Board members were responsible for the expenditures and finances of the district and she needed some questions answered. On some of the encumbrances, she asked why consultants were employed to do recruitment since the district had a recruiter who traveled out of state. Mr. Vern Moore, Executive Director, Personnel Services Division, responded that one of the consultants was used because of her experience and knowledge of employees in the minority recruiting area.

Mrs. Parks requested information regarding encumbrances for payment of psychological testing. Mrs. Sandra Johnson, Director, Special Services Department, answered these were for contract testing. Mrs. Parks asked how many people were being used as consultants for contract testing. She said she had received calls from parents who were told their child was scheduled to be tested in September, but as of March had not been tested. Mrs. Johnson replied that she would have to look at the individual circumstances concerning each child to answer that question. Mrs. Parks commented about an encumbrance for NSAC. Mrs. Marva Crawford Williamson, Supervisor, Drug Education Department, said the expenditure was for seven teachers from three schools to attend the National Student Assistance Conference, Kansas City, Missouri, April 9-12, 1992, and will be paid from federal funds. The teachers will obtain material to deliver a specific curriculum and train other staff members in their buildings regarding drug education. Mrs. Parks requested an evaluation of the Drug Free Schools program be prepared for the Board by Mrs. Williamson. Mrs. Parks requested information on the encumbrance listed for Maridyth McBee and her service to the district. Dr. Betty Mason, Assistant Superintendent, Educational Services Division, said that Ms. McBee was on leave from the district, employed as a consultant to complete the third quarter status reports in compliance with the State of Oklahoma At-Risk Schools requirements.

Mrs. Parks also requested information regarding encumbrances for two legal firms and asked if each of the encumbrances represented different months. Mr. Charles Allen, Manager, Purchasing Department, replied each encumbrance was for invoices received for different months.

M-12 PERSONNEL, PAYROLL, AND ENCUMBRANCES (CONTINUED) R. #323 APPROVAL OF ?ERSCŽIEL, PAYROLL, AND 5NCUMBRANCES AND SENEEyU. BUSINESS

DISCUSSION REGARDING PURCHASING AND GENERAL BUSINESS: Mrs. Thelma R. Parks and Mrs. Betty Hill requested information regarding Items C and D. Mrs. Myrna DeBose, Administrator, Chapter 1, explained the recommended computers, printers, computer equipment and software would be used for a Federal Chapter 1 program called Chapter 1 Management which is administered via computers. Computers requested by Item D will be placed in schools which do not have operable computers, and the computers in Item C will be housed at the Central Office for clerical training. She further said the computers will be used for reporting purposes, but that students will also use them for instructional purposes. Mrs. Parks said children were expected to be computer literate and to be able to compete in a global market, but the district, from her observation, is not providing enough computers, software, or personnel to teach the students adequate skills.

Mr. Leo Hise asked what happens to students that qualify for Chapter 1, but are not in a school with a student percentage high enough to be designated as a Chapter 1 school. He said his concern was for equity of education for those students and providing that equity throughout the district. Mrs. DeBose said Chapter 1 previously has been unable to place materials in non-Chapter 1 schools or schools that do not have a qualifying poverty level. She said legislation has become more flexible and districts can sometime determine that a Chapter 1 service should be made available to a school that is not designated a Chapter 1 school. Mrs. Kay Floyd said she had a concern for the far North area of the district which has an increasing student population that needs the services of Chapter 1, After School, and At-Risk programs but the programs are not available for qualifying students. She said she felt these students were more at-risk than students in schools identified as at-risk. Mrs. Floyd requested that staff particularly look at Stonegate and Ridgeview Elementary Schools, for proper identification of students who are eligible for these programs. She also said in some of these schools there were building achievement gaps that were larger than the district gap. Mrs. DeBose commented that the district, in an effort to help students in schools not qualifying as Chapter 1, has established a similar after-school program that follows the same format as the Chapter 1 program. Mrs. Betty Hill requested that Item G (Energy Education, Inc.) be voted on separately.

Mrs. Kay Floyd asked regarding Item E (textbook adoptions), which middle schools would be offering foreign language courses. Dr. Helen Casey, Curriculum Supervisor, Hispanic Student Services, responded the exploratory course would be a one semester course for eighth grade students at all middle schools. She also said that textbook adoptions for additional foreign language courses had been approved in anticipation of implementation into the curriculum at a later date.

Mr. Orel Peak, concerning Item E asked what was being done to implement a better delivery system for the textbooks. Dr. Mason said that to help correct the late orders, the textbook order will be submitted earlier this year to the State Department of Education and the Assessment of Sfeeds will be filed with the State Department on April 7.

(District-Wide Energy Savings

Approval of an agreement with Energy Education, Inc. to develop and implement a district-wide energy savings program. Fees and associated costs for the service estimated at $15,000 for the balance of the fiscal year, will be paid from account 640.02. Agreement to be effective through June 30, 1992, and will be subject to approval by the Board of Education for each succeeding year. DISCUSSION ON ITEM G

Mrs. Betty Hill asked for additional information so Board members could be more informed regarding the energy education program. Mr. Art Bode, Director, Service Center Operations, said the program is a people-driven program of energy conservation during non-occupied timeframes and would primarily be the responsibility of the custodial staff. He said all payments for the program will come from the district's utility budget. Mr. Orel Peak said he felt this recommendation could save the district a tremendous amount of money. Mr. Bode said the projections over the seven year period estimated a savings of 4.8 million dollars. In visiting other districts of comparable size or age who were participating in the same program he discovered the projections other districts received from Energy Education, Inc. were low compared to the actual savings.

Mrs. Kay Floyd asked if the districts Mr. significant amount of air conditioned schools.

Mr. Bode said in the districts he visited surrounding our district the schools were air conditioned. Lubbock and Wichita Falls, Texas Public Schools did not have air conditioned schools prior to their participation in the Energy Education program. Mr. Bode said districts had been able to expand and expedite their air conditioning programs because of the savings from the program. He said that air conditioning costs were a part of the savings, but not necessarily the driving factor in the amounts saved. A representative from Energy Education, Inc. told Board members the area of greatest savings would be incurred in a lower cost of lighting. He said the program addresses savings with the use of air conditioning, but was not dependent upon air conditioning for the success of the program.

COMMENTS Mrs. Thelma R. Parks commented that she wanted the record to reflect that metal detectors and building searches were done without the approval of the Board, and hopes this will not be done again. She said maybe this policy will help. She requested the record show she felt there was a violation of the CEO’s contract in approving the metal detectors and building searches and then said on television they were approved by the Board, when they were not. She also requested the minutes reflect her opposition to the incident.

Mrs. Parks said there was a Board policy in place that would have allowed the Superintendent to call a special Board meeting to discuss what action the Board should take and that was not done. She said the superintendent could have called an emergency meeting of the Board on Friday evening to determine whether the Board wanted to use the metal detectors, but did not and then appeared on television and said that with the approval of the Board, the district had agreed to use metal detectors. She said that was not true.

COMMENTS

Mrs. Betty Hill said that she was accused of violating Board policy when the above motion was brought forward, but that Board policy was not violated. As a Board member she said she has supported the direction of the courts regarding neighborhood schools; and that the fifth grade centers were mandated until Judge Bohanon ruled that 1-89 was unitary in student assignments, transportation, physical facilities, extracurricular activities, faculty assignments, and resource allocations. She further said at long last the district could consider what would be best for children and that was what precipitated her motion. She said she felt that students would receive a better education at a K-5 elementary school with stronger parental involvement, more student activities for fifth grade students; and stabilization of neighborhoods if fifth grade students remain in the elementary schools.

COMMENTS Mrs. Kay Floyd said the amended wording is intended to convey that the motion should proceed without delay (as soon as reasonably possible), but with consideration of the concerns expressed for space, facilities and community involvement. She said the decision must be educationally sound and in the best interest of the students in each school with the situation of each school considered. Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked if the amended motion addressed a delay in time beyond the May 5 election. She said she appreciated her colleagues concern regarding the closing of the fifth grade centers but she was concerned with the motion coming to the Board at this particular time. She said her constituents feel the motion is politically inspired. She commented that according to information provided three weeks ago a Board member stated that the district could not move forward with any decision, as it relates to segregation, because of on-going litigation. She said the reason she cannot support the motion is because she also feels the motion is politically motivated. She said she strongly supports parental involvement and if the Board decides to approve the proposed motion, she would be governed by the wishes of the majority, but that the majority is not always right. Also, the schools in district 5 are not unitary or equitable in supplies and textbooks. Mrs. Parks said the constituents in her district have mixed emotions regarding the fifth grade center move; that it is good to have children remain in their neighborhoods, but the schools must not be segregated or have insufficient supplies and equipment to provide a equitable education for all children. She commented that parental involvement means more than passing this motion or going to the concession stand and selling refreshments; it means actually giving input where it will make a difference. Mrs. Parks commented that as a representative for district 5, she could not vote for the motion until all schools within Oklahoma City Public Schools became equal.

Mr. Frank Kellert spoke in favor of the amended motion. He said he supported any plan that had appropriate parental input. Also, he had a problem with making a decision without sufficient planning. He expressed concern with the original motion as worded, and said it could force the Board to take action which might need to be modified at a later date. Mr. Orel Peak asked for input from legal counsel regarding the legal implications of what has been discussed tonight. Mrs. Laurie Jones, General Counsel, talked about the history of the fifth grade centers being a part of a 20 year old court order and pointed out the Finger Plan had a component in the plan for K-5 schools in racially integrated schools. She also talked about the differences in conditions within the district since that order became effective. She said that in December, 1991, Judge Bohanon terminated jurisdiction, dissolved the injunctive decree which implemented the Finger Plan, and returned local control of the school district to the Board of Education. Also, the court directed the court clerk to refrain from reopening the case without prior approval which makes it impossible for the Board to go to Judge Bohanon and ask for approval to discontinue the fifth grade centers. Mrs. Jones said, given the judge's opinion in November of last year, it is reasonable for the Board to look at the fifth grade centers. She said it was true that litigation still continues, because an appeal has been filed in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals over returning control to the Board of Education. Mrs. Jones said it is reasonable to consider the fifth grade centers at this time, but it is also important for the Board to focus on the educational imperatives at the fifth grade centers; on community input; on matters of parental participation/involvement; demographics; and facility usage. She urged the Board to look at the proposal with deliberation and caution and offer the best educational program possible.

M-4 UNFINISHED BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

Mr. Orel Peak commented he shared the views of Mr. Kellert and that the issue was bigger that it appears. The logistics of moving that many students in the district with the limitations of availability of facilities is a consideration. A number of people have spoken in favor of going back to the K-5 schools, but a plea has also been heard from the minority representation for consideration to be given as to what the change could mean to minority parents and children. He said the issue is very sensitive and he believed very strongly in government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Without permitting all of the people to become involved, the move is highly suspect and he questioned the intent of the move. He said the Board would do well to not take action on the issue tonight, but postpone the action until the community has had time for input and a feasibility study to consider human emotional issues, logistics of moving students in a timely fashion, and wise use of resources) to be made. RECESS Mr. Mike Fogarty, President, called for a 10 minute recess while language of the amended motion was copied for distribution to Board members

After the recess, Mr. Leo Hise said the comments made by Board members reflect their own feelings and thoughts and not those of the entire Board, The Board of Education by its vote speaks for the entire Board. 3e said through the years the system has proven that every attempt has been made to integrate the district and provide the best education possible for all children. Mr. Hise talked about the Board member election process saying he would prefer district elections be first by primary within the district Eollowed by a district-wide general election. He said people who have lived in the school district for several years are steadfast and loyal and have attempted to bring about a better education for all students /jithout racial motivation. He said he felt the social problems of the Dklahoma City Public Schools have been handled better than any other school district in the nation by consistently achieving the goals and aspirations for the district's students. He also said it was time for the citizens to make the changes necessary to provide an even better aducation for the children. One change would be to rid the district of the stigma produced by the fifth grade centers and the loss of 200 to 500 students a year from all races because of the fifth grade centers. Mrs. Thelma R. Parks commented regarding her position on the proposed amendment. She said she has been consistent with her views and voting and what she does is in the best interest of the children and her interests tonight have not wavered. She asked that her concern be alearly understood. She said she thought it was time to make decisions without having to come back and amend those decisions within the next six months. She said the Board should have adequate time to discuss the issue, be in compliance with the legal courts, and make sure all children get a fair and equitable education. Because of these concerns, she will not support the motion. Her constituents have mixed emotions and with the pending litigation it appears the district is going back to egregated schools.

Mrs. Anne Hsieh talked about financial data (historical and current), projections for future revenue sources, and expenditures.

Mrs. Margaret Winston gave a progress report on the implementation of the Oklahoma Cost Accounting System (OCAS) and the status of the conversion process. Due to changing to OCAS the budget presentation to the Board will be in a different format for the coming fiscal year. Mrs. Valene Cooks gave an overview of the OCAS training system and the improvements in the accountability process.

Mrs. Pam Deering summarized the presentation and said limited state revenues are to be expected in the 1993-94 fiscal year with minimal federal revenue increases. Increased monies are also needed to support district buildings without using current funds. COMMENTS Mr. Orel Peak commended the presenters on the manner in which the report was compiled and presented. He asked, based upon the perception of limited future income, about the direction of the Board in terms of future low priority spending. He specifically mentioned the use of consultants, organizational memberships, and about money spent on low priority systems. Pam Deering answered that through the budget process the Board identifies how they would like to spend the current revenues. She also said she could not give an opinion of low priority since the Board sets the types of priorities through the budget, but that priorities should be directed toward instructional programs.

Mrs. Kay Floyd asked about the federal funding. Mrs. Deering said a list of programs had been compiled from the 90-91 and 91-92 years which shows there has been a decline in appropriations/grants. During these Zears there were approximately eight federal funding sources that had ceen reduced or where funding is no longer available. Mr. Leo Hise said he felt optimistic that the vote on the fifth grade enters would help with fewer families moving from the district and result in increased ad-valorem taxes. He said he felt bond issues would ce passed after community and public trust had been re-established. He asked if the projected increase in health costs included just the listrict contribution. Mr. Deering said increased health costs included Increased premiums for both the employee and employer.

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 20, 1992

DISCUSSION (CONTINUED) Mrs. Betty Hill talked about lobbying federal legislators, saying this is something the Board needs to continue in order to get additional funding for school districts. She also said she would like to see an evaluation of district programs to determine if they are cost effective before entering too deeply into the budget process. She said she felt the district should work more closely with the community in communicating where funds are spent and maybe when needs arise during the last part of the year, the community might be willing to donate items such as supplies. Mr. Frank Kellert talked about funds needed by districts to comply with class sizes mandated by House Bill 1017. He also noted the restricted general fund usage for buildings and physical plants and asked if these were isolated problems within 1017. Mrs. Deering said efforts are being made to get the legislature to make changes in rules relating to spending general fund monies for capitol expenses, which will give the districts some flexibility. Mr. Mike Fogarty asked if further information had been received regarding the cash management system for this year. Mrs. Deering said she had attended a commission meeting and it was her understanding that our application was approved in good standing, but official notice had not been received. Mr. Fogarty also asked if school employees now wanted to change from the State Insurance Fund. Mrs. Deering responded that schools from across the state are now participating in other organization s health insurance programs and it was a possibility for our district.

H-11 SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT (CONTINUED)

DISCUSSION Ms. Kylie Kersten, Chairperson of the Staff Development Committee, when asked to comment about the proposed changes, said in response to recommended change #4 that the plan already specifically encourages experienced teachers to participate in the (assertive discipline) workshop.

1992-96 STAFF DEVELOPMENT PLAN DISCUSSICN

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks said because of the substantive changes being proposed, she felt the Board needed more time to digest the information before voting on the motion. She said she felt it was unfair for the Board to vote on an issue as serious as the proposed motion on such a short notice and that the Board had not received the changes as proposed in the motion prior to the meeting.

Mr. Mike Fogarty said that Mrs. Hill had appropriately come to the meeting with a prepared motion that contained the recommended changes which she distributed to Board members and to the Staff Development Chairperson. He said any other Board member could also propose a motion to recommend changes to the Staff Development Plan. Mrs. Parks asked when the report had to be turned in and Mr. said. May 10, 1992, six days from today.

Fogarty

Ms. Kersten noted that the committee did not convene until November 28; that it had asked for some extensions, but that the plan was in the Staff Development office on March 23, the Monday of Spring Break. She said the corrections were not in it then, but it was turned in. Mrs. Kay Floyd said she thought that March 23 was very late to submit the plan to the Staff Development Director and November was late for the committee to start meeting. Mrs. Floyd said that she recalled the delay was caused by not being able to get names for the committee from the bargaining unit. She said if anyone had received any other information before now, she did not know who it could have been - that no one had any more time than anyone else to look at it. She said Mrs. Hill's motion was in order and had been seconded. It is the Board's responsibility to decide and deliberate on how to vote on that motion. She asked that it be written in the minutes that no one had received any additional information and that the plan was late coming to the Board.

Mr. Mike Fogarty called a 15 minute recess at 8:45 p.m. to allow the Staff Development Committee Chairperson time to review the motion. The Board reconvened at 9:00 p.m. RECESS DISCUSSION

Following the recess, Ms. Kylie Kersten, Chairperson, Staff Development Advisory Committee, said the committee would concede on item 1 of the motion. She said item 2 could not be conceded since the Staff Development Advisory Committee voted on December 18, 1992, to change the name to "Staff Development and Training Handbook" at the request of the Staff Development Director. On April 23 the committee was asked to change the name of the handbook to "Staff Development and Training Information" which the committee did not approve, therefore Ms. Kersten said she could not now approve that change.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT (CONTINUED) 1992-96 STAFF DEVELOPMENT PLAN DISCDSSICN

Mrs. Floyd asked the Board President the purpose of Ms. Kersten being allowed to speak.

Mr. Mike Fogarty responded that he was recognizing the chairperson of the Staff Development Advisory Committee to make comments she deemed necessary regarding the suggested changes. He told Ms. Kersten that he was not asking for approval or disapproval of the motion. Ms. Kylie Kersten continued with her comments saying that item 3, not paying the members serving on the advisory committee, would be ridiculous. She asked that the motion be amended to return to the $9.00 stipend. She said members would not serve unless paid.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT (CONTINUED)

DISCUSSION

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks requested a short summary of the Four Year Capital Improvement Plan. Mr. Art Bode, Director, Service Center Operations, responded that plan must be submitted to the State Department of Education by May 10, 1992. He said the plan will be used by the State to identify districts that are bonded beyond 85% and seeking additional state funding for their capital improvement needs. He said 1-89 is not in that category. Mr. Bode said he identified 5 broad projects, listed the projects district-wide with a dollar figure that could be minimally used over the next 4 years. He said he had listed the projects initially in priority sequence as: asbestos removal and restoration, enhancement of campus security, roof repairs, heating/air conditioning improvements, and basic plumbing needs.

Mr. Leo Hise commented regarding the allegations made during the first Citizens' Comments that it would be helpful if the persons speaking had attended the meeting they were talking about. Also, he said Mrs. Hill did not campaign for re-election, but that he recommended voting for Mrs. Hill and as a citizen of the community he would support the candidate of his choice. Mrs. Thelma R. Parks said it appeared to her that the Board needed to revise, redirect, and discuss Board policies, if policies reflected on certain Board members having privileges. She commented it appeared that on many occasions the Board had violated its own policies and that the Board was biased with some Board members doing things that are contrary to Board policies.

SESSION

MR. MIKE FOGARTY ANNOUNCED THAT NO ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN ON ITEM (B) THE APPOINTMENT, OR EMPLOYMENT OF BUILDING ADMINISTRATORS/CENTRAL OFFICE ADMINISTRATORS.

SESSION Frank Kellert Kay Floyd

[ MOVE THAT THE BOARD CONCUR WITH THE FACTS FOUND IN THE FACT FINDER'S REPORT, TO-WIT: 1.

THAT FUNDS IN THE DISTRICT’S CHILD NUTRITION FUND CANNOT STATUTORILY BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES, DESPITE THE UNION’S PRIOR CLAIM THAT SUCH MONIES CAN BE USED TO PAY FOR TEACHERS SALARY INCREASES.


MINUTES OF THE EMERGENCY MEETING OF MAY 7, 1992 M-3

OPEN SESSION (CONTINUED) 2.

THAT USE OF THE DISTRICT'S WORKERS' COMPENSATION FUND TO PAY FOR TEACHERS SALARY INCREASES WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE DISTRICT'S FINANCIAL STABILITY, WOULD ENDANGER THE DISTRICT'S ABILITY TO PAY WORKERS' COMPENSATION CLAIMS AND WOULD JEOPARDIZE TEACHERS' SALARIES IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE THE FUND GOULD BE USED ONE TIME ONLY FOR SUCH A PURPOSE AND TEACHER SALARIES ARE AN ON-GOING EXPENSE. THAT THE FACT FINDER FOUND THAT IT IS "SOUND, RATIONAL THINKING" THAT THE DISTRICT TRY TO BECOME SELF-INSURED AND RESERVE FUNDS TO ENSURE THAT THE DISTRICT CAN BE SELF-INSURED.

3.

THAT THE FACT FINDER COMPLETELY DISAGREED WITH THE UNION'S CONTENTION THAT ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS IN THE OKLAHOMA CITY PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT ARE TOO HIGH AND THAT, IN FACT, THE FACT FINDER FOUND THAT WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS, THE OKLAHOMA CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS' ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS ARE NOT TOO HIGH.

4.

THAT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY SAVED BY THE DISTRICT, WHEN LONGTIME TEACHERS RETIRE OR LEAVE THE DISTRICT, DOES NOT MEAN THE SAVED FUNDS SHOULD BE USED TO FINANCE TEACHER PAY INCREASES OR THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE SAVINGS IS EVEN SUFFICIENT TO FINANCE ANY PAY INCREASES FOR TEACHERS.

5.

THAT STEP PAY INCREASES "ARE ACTUAL PAY INCREASES" FOR TEACHERS, DESPITE THE UNION'S PRIOR CONTENTION THAT THEY ARE NOT, AND THAT THE BOARD "ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE AN INCREASE IN EXPENDITURES" IF THE TEACHERS WERE GIVEN A STEP INCREASE.

6.

THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FACES A NUMBER OF UNANSWERED AND DANGEROUS FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS, AMONG THEM BEING THE FURTHER COSTS OF CUTTING CLASS SIZE AND MEETING OTHER MANDATES OF HOUSE BILL 1017, AND THE QUESTIONS BEING RAISED ABOUT THE DISTRICT POSSIBLY HAVING TO PAY UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, ACCORDING TO THE FACT FINDER'S REPORT, "SHOULD FEDERAL AUTHORITIES DETERMINE THAT SUCH EMPLOYEES ARE ENTITLED TO UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION FOR THE TIMES SCHOOLS ARE NOT IN SESSION, THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE DISTRICT WILL BE SIZABLE."

I FURTHER MOVE THAT THE BOARD EXPRESS ITS STRONGEST DISAPPOINTMENT THAT OKLAHOMA CITY FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNION LEADERS VIOLATED THE DISTRICT-UNION CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS PROCEDURAL AGREEMENT AT LEAST SIX (6) TIMES DURING THE LAST SCHOOL YEAR BY MAKING PUBLIC STATEMENTS TO THE MEDIA WHICH DAMAGED AND DELAYED THE NEGOTIATING PROCESS AND THAT THE BOARD GO ON RECORD TODAY, AS CLEARLY STATING THAT THE CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS WITH TEACHERS FOR NEXT YEAR WILL NOT BEGIN UNTIL A CHANGE IS MADE IN THE PROCEDURAL AGREEMENT THAT PENALIZES EITHER PARTY FOR VIOLATING THE AGREEMENT IN THE FUTURE. I FURTHER MOVE THAT THE BOARD EXPRESS CONCERN THAT THE APPARENTLY RECEIVED THE FACT FINDING REPORT FIVE (5) BOARD AND THAT THE BOARD IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED PUBLICLY RELEASED INFORMATION ABOUT THE REPORT, AGAIN THE PROCEDURAL AGREEMENT.

I MOVE THAT APPROVED:

1.

THE

FOLLOWING

RECOMMENDATIONS

OF

TEACHERS' UNION DAYS BEFORE THE THAT THE UNION IN VIOLATION OF FACT

FINDER

BE

THE STAFF DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE WILL EXAMINE ALL STAFF DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE OPPORTUNITIES.

A.

TEACHERS ON STAFF, ON OR BEFORE JULY 1, 1992, WILL BE REQUIRED TO EARN A MINIMUM OF FIFTEEN (15) POINTS PER YEAR IN A FIVE (5) YEAR CYCLE UNTIL A MINIMUM OF SEVENTYFIVE (75) POINTS ARE EARNED. AFTER A MINIMUM OF SEVENTYFIVE (75) POINTS ARE EARNED IN A FIVE (5) YEAR CYCLE, A MINIMUM OF EIGHT (8) POINTS MUST BE EARNED PER YEAR.

B.

TEACHERS HIRED FOR THE 1992-93 SCHOOL YEAR AND BEYOND WILL BE REQUIRED TO EARN A MINIMUM OF FIFTEEN (15) POINTS PER YEAR IN A FIVE (5) YEAR CYCLE UNTIL A MINIMUM OF EIGHTY (80) POINTS ARE EARNED. AFTER A MINIMUM OF EIGHTY (80) POINTS ARE EARNED IN A FIVE (5) YEAR CYCLE, A MINIMUM OF TEN (10) POINTS MUST BE EARNED PER YEAR.

C.

TEACHERS IDENTIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH 2.A ABOVE WILL BE REQUIRED TO MEET THE CONDITIONS OF 2.B ABOVE BEGINNING WITH THE 1995-96 SCHOOL YEAR.

I FURTHER MOVE THAT THE BOARD ACCEPT THE FACT FINDER'S REPORT EVEN THOUGH THE FACT- FINDER HAS ADMITTED THAT HE PROPOSED A COMPROMISE SETTLEMENT OF THE CONTRACT, IN EFFECT, "SPLITTING THE DIFFERENCE," i^HILE ADMITTING THAT THE DISTRICT WILL BE SEVERELY FINANCIALLY STRAPPED IN ITS ATTEMPT TO PAY FOR THE COMPROMISE SALARY AND BENEFIT INCREASES HE PROPOSED.

I FURTHER MOVE THAT BY ACCEPTING THE FACT FINDER'S REPORT, THE BOARD IS 5UTY BOUND TO TELL THE CITIZENS AND THE EMPLOYEES OF THE OKLAHOMA CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT IT WILL BE FORCED TO DEPLETE ITS CARRY-OVER FUNDS TO DANGEROUSLY LOW LEVEL OF APPROXIMATELY 2.9%, WHICH IS LOWER THAN EVER 3EFORE IN THE DISTRICT'S HISTORY. THE FACT FINDER RECOGNIZED THAT SUCH MOVE COULD SERIOUSLY JEOPARDIZE THE DISTRICT'S ABILITY TO COPE WITH DISASTERS, OTHER EMERGENCIES OR STATE OR FEDERAL EDUCATIONAL MANDATES.

[ FURTHER MOVE THAT THE BOARD PUBLICIZE THE FACT THAT BY IMPLEMENTING HE RECOMMENDATIONS, THE DISTRICT'S EMPLOYEES SALARY AND BENEFIT COST, POR THIS YEAR ALONE, WILL LIKELY REACH AN ALL-TIME HIGH OF 90% OF THE DISTRICT'S TOTAL BUDGET AND WILL LEAD TO UNAVOIDABLE REDUCTIONS IN THE 5DUCATIONAL PROGRAMS BEING OFFERED TO THE STUDENTS OF THIS DISTRICT FOR CHE REMAINDER OF THIS YEAR AND IN THE FUTURE. \S PART OF THOSE REDUCTIONS, I MOVE THAT THE BOARD DIRECT THE SUPERINTENDENT TO MAKE WHATEVER CUTS ARE NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT THE DISTRICT IS ABLE TO END THE FISCAL YEAR WITH A FUND BALANCE OF AT LEAST ’.9 %. :: FURTHER MOVE THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HOLD REQUIRED ATTENDANCE INSERVICE PROGRAMS FOR TEACHERS DURING PRE-SCHOOL WEEK TO EXPLAIN THE DISTRICT'S BUDGET AND HOW THE TEACHERS' CONTRACT IMPACTS THE DISTRICT'S : SUDGET.


MINUTES OF THE EMERGENCY MEETING OF MAY 7, 1992 M-5

OPEN SESSION (CONTINUED) I FURTHER MOVE THAT THE BOARD RECOGNIZE AND CONCUR THAT THE COSTS OF THE FACT FINDERS RECOMMENDATIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Wage increase: 1.7 step increase Additional salary increase

$ 904,671 $1,406,450

SUBTOTAL

$2,311,121

$3,742,980

THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS CONSTITUTE AN EFFECTIVE 8.2% INCREASE. I FURTHER MOVE THAT BECAUSE OF THE MASSIVE FINANCIAL STRAIN PLACED ON THE DISTRICT'S BUDGET AS A RESULT OF THE BOARD'S DECISION TO ACCEPT THE FACT FINDER'S REPORT, THAT DISTRICT OFFICIALS MAKE CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC AND THE STAFF OF THE OKLAHOMA CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT THIS TEACHER CONTRACT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY JEOPARDIZE, IF NOT COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THE DISTRICT'S ABILITY TO OFFER ANY FURTHER PAY INCREASES WITH ITS TEACHERS NEXT YEAR.

BECAUSE OF THE COST OF THIS AGREEMENT, I MOVE THAT THE BOARD MAKE IT ABSOLUTELY CLEAR TO THE TEACHERS' UNION, THAT IN THE OPINION OF THIS BOARD, THIS CONTRACT IS, IN ESSENCE, A TWO (2) YEAR AGREEMENT IN TERMS OF INCREASES IN SALARIES AND BENEFITS. FINALLY, I MOVE THAT THE BOARD ACCEPT THE FACT FINDER'S PROPOSED SETTLEMENT, WHICH ACTUALLY IS AN 8.2% PAY AND BENEFIT PACKAGE INCREASE FOR TEACHERS THAT WILL COST THE SCHOOL DISTRICT APPROXIMATELY $3.7 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL DOLLARS AND PROVIDE AN AVERAGE INCREASE IN PAY AND BENEFITS OF $1,637 THIS YEAR.

Mrs. Betty Hill said she could not support the motion because of the

financial burden that would be incurred by the district with the approval of this motion. She felt the districts' students would be penalized by the lack of funds to provide educational programs. She said she had always voted for the best interests of the students.

MEMBER S'

COMMENTS/BUSINESS

Report on the National School Boards Association Annual Convention, Orlando, Florida, April 25-28, 1992. Presented by:

Mrs. Kay Floyd and Mrs. Thelma R. Parks

Mrs. Kay Floyd reported on the NSBA meeting she recently attended and said the written information she had previously given Board members outlined most of her report. She said the printed material she brought back from the meeting regarding legislative issues, staff development, graduate warranty programs, and an accelerated approach for students (with retentions) who are overaged, would be worthwhile reading. Mrs. Thelma R. Parks said that before she gave her report on the NSBA meeting, she wanted to make a statement on another issue. She said she resented people telling her that Board members are covering-up an offense of a former employee. She stated that a gentleman in the audience had requested she not mention any names, but she would say she did not have double standards when dealing with personnel issues.

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks then made her report on the NSBA meeting and talked about the highlights saying there were many outstanding speakers who redefined reforms and restructuring for public schools. She noted that she disagreed with one panel that indicated school boards are a thing of the past. She also said this was the second national conference where school board governance was discussed and that there are four basic functions of school boards; 1) to set board policies; 2) to establish standards of educational accountability; 3) to establish over-sight procedures; and 4) to ensure adequate planning for future needs with long-range planning.

Mrs. Parks also reported on discussions about at-risk students, businss community involvement with schools, and an interesting national trend of establishing children and youth coordinating boards.

M-13 SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT (CONTINUED) Dr. Lessie LeSure and Dr. Norma Cole talked about the various components that the task force recommended regarding the dress codes, timelines for implementation, and organizing meetings with parents in the schools that have volunteered to initiate the dress code system.

DISCUSSION Board members discussed with Drs. LeSure and Cole various types of potential uniform dress and how parents/community would be involved in the process. Mr. Mike Fogarty suggested a motion could be made for acceptance (not approval) of the task force report which would authorize proceeding with site committees. The task force would then come back to the Board with input from the site-based committees. Dr. Arthur Steller recommended pulling the item from the agenda. He suggested that schools that want to implement the dress codes could go forth with the implementation, talk to parents, etc., and that the Board policies would not be brought back until a final report on Student and Staff Dress Codes is received. BY CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD MEMBERS, THE ITEMS WERE PULLED FROM CONSIDERATION AT THIS TIME AND NO ACTION WAS TAKEN ON ITEMS A AND B.

Preliminary recommendations on the motion of the Board at its meeting of April 20, 1992, concerning the fifth grade centers. Presented by:

Dr. Susan Purser, Director, Planning, Research, and Information Services

Dr. Susan Purser said the district's estimate is that 136 classrooms would be required to house returning fifth grade students in K-4 schools, and at the present time only 70 classrooms are available. Also, during the 93-94 school year State Statutes require fourth and fifth grade class size be limited to 20 students, which will require additional classrooms. She outlined three options on how to effectively close the fifth grade centers.

DISCUSSION

Board members discussed various aspects of the report, including how parental input would be included during the implementation process of eliminating the fifth grade centers.

MOTION: SECOND:

Frank Kellert Leo Hise

COMMENTS

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks said she could not support the motion at this time because of procedure and not because of content. Mrs. Betty Hill said she still felt the fifth grade centers could have been closed for the 92-93 school year, but supported the motion since action would be taken during the following year. Mrs. Kay Floyd said that the Board had heard from parents and that the vast majority of parents were in favor of closing the fifth grade centers. She said tonight's motion was totally consistent with her amendment to the original motion and that by approving this motion, the Board would be setting up the process to get parental/community input and effectively carry out the direction of the Board for the closings of the fifth grade centers.

Mr. Orel Peak said he voted no as a matter of principle. D.

M-34 PURCHASING AND GENERAL BUSINESS (CONTINUED) Mrs. Pam Deering, Director, Budget and Financial Management, noted the dollar amount from the General Fund was submitted for $15,802,883, and $1,862,400 was submitted for the Building Fund for a total of $17,665,283 to be invested.

Mr. John Martin, Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., Inc., said a bank, foreign or domestic, had not been determined. He further said that if the Board enters into an agreement, the funds will be placed in an investment agreement with a bank and that the district will be guaranteed a certain percentage, which will be negotiated when the bank is selected. Also, Mr. Martin said the agreement term will be for one fiscal year. Mr. Leo Hise clarified that the bank the district would be investing with would have branches in the United States and had to comply with the American banking laws.

COMMENT Mrs. Thelma R. Parks made the following statement for the record: I don't think it's really necessary for everybody to be concerned about this, but I had some concerns about one of our employees. During the first portion of the meeting there was a statement made by me that I was intimidated and pressured by an individual, more or less into something. Since that time I have talked with the individual and that was not the case at all. He thought I was going to say something about Dr. Odom and the allegations and the rumors, but I was not. I was simply going to make a statement that had to do with the lady at Lafayette. So, Mr. Metzer, that is an observation that I would like to make for the audience. I don't know anything about the resignation of Dr. Phil Odom. I don't know why he resigned, so I would not have been discussing it. I needed to make that explanation.

SUPPORT EMPLOYEE HEARING


a. MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 15, 1992

HEARING FOR SHIRLEY GRADY (CONTINUED) SUPPORT EMPLOYEE HEARING

Mr. Mark Reed stated that during the pre-disciplinary hearing, April 15, 1992, Ms. Grady and her representative were told to give her correct nailing address to the administration, which she did. Ms. Grady was informed at that time that a certified letter would be sent to her address informing her of the pre-disciplinary hearing that would be set to be heard before the Board. The certified letter was returned to the administration marked unclaimed with a notation to try another address. Another certified letter was sent to the new address and that letter was returned to administration today, June 15, 1992, marked "attempted/not known." Mr. Reed said that Ms. Grady had picked up her paycheck today and told the support personnel office that she was aware of the hearing scheduled for tonight. Mr. Raymond Randle also talked with Ms. Grady’s mother at 3:45 p.m. today. The mother said Ms. Grady was not home at the present time, but that Ms. Grady would be present for the hearing.

Mr. David Gray stated that the last time he had talked with Ms. Grady nzas on April 16, 1992.

rhe Hearing Officer stated for the record that the procedures to be followed during the hearing were acceptable since Ms. Grady and her representative had been notified of tonight's hearing. Opening Statements; Respondent:

Mr. Mark Reed stated the administration recommends termination of Ms. Shirley Grady for violation of Article VI, Section 4.B.7 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. He stated that Ms. Grady received a 3 lay suspension without pay in March of 1989 with a recommendation for termination made in November, 1991. Pursuant to an agreement between Mr. Randle and Ms. Grady, the recommendation for termination was rescinded to a 10 day suspension without pay. He said Ms. Grady's behavior reverted to tardiness and excessive absences within 4 months of the agreement. The administration feels there is no other option than to recommend Ms. Grady's termination from employment. Appellant:

Mr. David Gray said that Ms. Grady was experiencing personal problems and the only action he could take would be to appeal to the Board to rescind the recommendation for termination to a 10 day suspension. EXHIBITS Mr. Mark Reed, Respondent, and Mr. David Gray, Appellant, stipulated to the following exhibits:

REQUEST FROM SUPPORT EMPLOYEE UNION TO WITHDRAW FROM STATE INSURANCE PLAN

1.

BUSINESS

Consideration of a request by support personnel to recognize their withdrawal from the Oklahoma State and Education Employees Group Insurance Plan and their participation in approved alternative group health insurance program.

an

Mr. David Gray thanked the Board for allowing him to speak, and said the cost and quality control of the present health insurance has mandated that an alternative health program be found to best serve the needs of the employees. Mr. Gray introduced Mr. Tim McFall, Regional Group Manager, Prudential Insurance Company, whose company had presented the most cost effective program with better service.

Mr. Tim McFall explained the pricing, underwriting, and basic mechanics of the insurance program, saying it would improve benefits, save money for district employees, and improve service.

DISCUSSION Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked Mr. David Gray if this insurance plan would reduce the benefits for the employees upon retirement or resignation. Mr. David Gray responded that he was not aware of any reduction of benefits from this plan. Mr. Orel Peak said in a letter from Laurie Jones, General Counsel, dated June 1, 1992, it was stated that withdrawal from the present health care plan might affect an agreement with the Teachers Retirement System for payment of benefits from the retirement fund.

\


MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 15, 1992 M-5

SPECIAL BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

Mr. David Gray said he was only requesting support from the Board of Education to back a decision reached by the Executive Board and the general membership of the union to withdraw from the State insurance plan. Mr. Gray said he had written twice to the Oklahoma State and Education Employees Group Insurance Board regarding withdrawal options, but had not received a response. Mr. Orel Peak requested that legal counsel comment upon the legality of changing insurance carriers. Mrs. Laurie Jones, Legal Counsel, said she had concerns regarding the proposal and that there were two problems if the entire support employee group withdraws from the State insurance plan. 1) There is a potential of participation in the State plan dropping below the minimum 50% of eligible employees at which time the State Board will cancel all coverage for district personnel; 2) according to regulations the State plan will not be offered in a district where there is another insurance carrier. Mrs. Jones also expressed concern about whether the plan would exclude employees because of pre-existing conditions. She also said the potential loss of the $75.00 retirement benefit which is paid by Teachers Retirement is a very real benefit which many people rely upon and which cannot be treated lightly.

Mrs. Jones said it was her opinion that the Board should not take action for approval of the item because of the jeopardy to other employees. She said if the Union could provide assurance to the Board that district participation in another plan would not jeopardize other employees coverage, then the Board could direct the administration to pay premiums to another company. Mrs. Kay Floyd said that when the Oklahoma State and Education Employees Group Insurance Plan was initially approved, there was concern that the rates were going to increase. She said the Board was influenced by a relatively small number of people who were very vocal in support of the State plan. Mr. Leo Hise asked if the State Insurance Plan had come back to the Board for yearly approval since 1989, and if there was a Board approved plan. Mr. David Gray responded, no.

Mr. Mike Fogarty queried whether the district actually had a contractual agreement with the State Fund. He said it was his understanding under the current State Statute that with 30 days written notice the Board could withdraw from participation in the State insurance plan. He said this action would also precipitate a call for election through which all employees would express their wishes. If a majority of employees voted to withdraw or not withdraw then the Board would be constrained to act accordingly. Mrs. Laurie Jones, General Counsel, noted that if the motion Mr. Kellert proposed passes it would show the Board's intent to assist Mr. Gray and her when visiting with the State Board, or the State Plan administrators, to let the State know the Board is behind this action. This will make a more compelling argument to allow this type of action. She also said the motion compels Mr. Gray to get assurances from all employees and for her to be of more assistance to Mr. Gray at the State level.

REQUEST FROM SUPPORT EMPLOYEE UNION TO WITHDRAW FROM STATE INSURANCE PLAN

MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 15, 1992

M-6

SPECIAL BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

Mr. Mike Fogarty said that during the initial action by the Board on the State Insurance plan in 1989, the Board required all employees to participate in health insurance, which carried a significant financial impact on a lot of employees and to the district. Prior to that time, no employee was required to have health insurance. He further said it was his opinion that if the Board required all employees to participate in health insurance that the district needs to be prepared to pay for the participation in the health insurance as rates increase. Also, without requiring all employees to participate it was more difficult to get insurance companies to offer competitive premiums for group policies.

MOTION CARRIED 7-0. Membership: National School Boards Association, Black and Hispanic Caucus of NSBA, Council of Great City Schools, and Oklahoma State School Boards Association

Authorization for District membership in the National School Boards Association, Oklahoma State School Boards Association and Council of Great City Schools, the Black and Hispanic Caucus organizations of NSBA, and payment of membership dues for 1992-93. DISCUSSION

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks requested that on Item R district membership be added for the Hispanic and Black Caucus organizations of the National School Boards Association. She said that the cost would be $150 each.

Mr. Leo Hise said he realized that the cost of the Council of Great City Schools looked expensive, however the size and number of districts that are members of this organization (60 to 70 districts) must be taken into account to understand that the cost is minimal when compared to the $6,000 that is paid to the National School Boards Association (which has a membership of 4,000 school districts). He said the withdrawal of Tulsa Public Schools from the Council was a political action against their own delegate and not a move to save money. He said the Council is a very viable and necessary organization pertaining strictly to the needs of urban children and through this organization the district has a way to lobby congress for funding for urban schools. Mrs. Thelma R. Parks said there was some discussion at the Black Caucus meeting she attended that the activities for Council of Urban Boards of Education would be suspended for the 92-93 year, and if that is a true statement she said it might affect the membership of the Council of Great City Schools. Mrs. Kay Floyd said the Board had received a legislative report showing monies received by each member district through the legislative efforts of the Council of Great City Schools. She said the amount of money received through the legislative efforts of the Council is far greater than the amount of the dues. UNFINISHED

Discussion of Group Health Insurance changes. June 15, 1992)

(Action of the Board

Mr. Darrel Shepard, Executive Assistant to the Superintendent, gave a brief outline of the events leading to the discussion regarding the State Insurance Program. Mr. David Gray, President, Oklahoma City Federation of Classified Employees, Mrs. Pam Deering, Director, Budget and Financial Management Division, Mr. Jack Roach, President, H & H Benefit Group, Inc., and Mrs. Laurie Jones, General Counsel, Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon were present to answer questions from Board members.

GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE DISCUSSICW

Mrs. Laurie Jones explained that in her opinion if another insurance carrier enters into the district then the State Insurance Plan would unilaterally cancel the insurance plan that is provided to all district employees, but if insurance premiums are paid to the State Insurance Plan, the State Insurance Group cannot cancel the district’s insurance coverage.

Mr. David Gray said it was not the intent to jeopardize insurance coverage of other district employees when the support employees requested exploring a different insurance carrier. Mr. Jack Roach said that he, Mr. Gray, Mrs. Jones, and some other attorneys had done everything that could have been done to this point to accomplish the support employees request. He said having three different bargaining groups represented in one entity was a very unique situation. Mr. Roach also said he felt that within the next 30 days some possibilities may exist to accommodate the needs of these diverse groups. Mrs. Laurie Jones, General Counsel, is to report to Mr. John McCandless, Attorney, Oklahoma State and Education Employees Group Insurance Board, that the Board did not take action and that the premium payment will be paid to the State Insurance Program.

Mr. Orel Peak said for the purpose of clarification, to all other employee groups, the motion should be rescinded based upon the letter dated July 13, 1992 from Mr. Odie A. Nance, Administrator, Oklahoma State and Education Employees Group Insurance Program. By Board consensus the Board directed Mrs. Laurie Jones, General Counsel, to respond to write a letter clarifying the Board's decision to not compromise the position of all district employees insurance coverage. It was agreed that Mrs. Thelma R. Parks should review the letter.

LEGAL

REPORT

Laurie Jones of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau and Moon (general counsel firm), reported as follows on current legal matters regarding: 1.

Sampson v. 1-89; This is a discrimination suit filed by a former member of campus security. Federal District Court Judge granted summary judgement in favor of the district. An order has been received from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals affirming the summary judgement. Additional information will be available within 30 days.

2.

OCFT V. BOE; This is a grievance resulting from reprimanding a teacher for failing to attend an open house. A summary judgement had been granted in favor of the district. The Oklahoma Court of Appeals reversed the judgement. A petition for rehearing has been filed. A ruling is anticipated within the next two months.

3.

Holman v. 1-89: Trial is currently scheduled in Federal District Court beginning September 8. A summary judgement was granted in part to the district and denied in part.

4.

Vo-Tech 22 v. 1-89: Trial began August 3 before Judge Tom Smith and should last through Wednesday.

5.

State Health Insurance Plan: A phone call received from the administrator for the State Group Education Employees Insurance Plan reiterated that the State Insurance Board will not cancel insurance for employees of the district at this time. Written confirmation should be received and will be forwarded to Board members.

5.

Smith V. 1-89: This case alleges discrimination, violation of public policy, and retaliation. A responsive pleading is due August 10, 1992.

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked general counsel to explain the legal ramifications of Board members requesting information on an employee termination. She said the Board receives detailed information regarding some employees, but with other employees Board members do not receive information even if requested. She asked if there were legal ramifications that would prevent Board members from receiving information or asking questions regarding the detailed information received in the Board packets. Mrs. Laurie Jones said contents of personnel files are confidential and should not be revealed by members of the Board or employees of the district without the consent of the concerned individual. Upon an individual's resignation, if a letter of resignation is submitted to the Board, and the Board agrees the letter can be made public, that can be done. She said that unless there is a pending claim or investigation, once an individual has resigned, nothing can be derived to continue an investigation, unless the employee needs to make restitution or if there is a complaint from the district attorney's office. Mr. Leo Hise asked if there would be any time a Board member, as the employer, could be refused access to personnel records. Mrs. Laurie Jones, responded that the safest avenue would be to get an agreement from the employee for their personnel file to be made accessible to members of the Board.

UNFINISHED

BUSINESS

Discontinue Meetings At Each School Site On Dress Codes

Consideration to discontinue meetings at each school with parents and staff concerning a possible dress code for that particular school and to forbid implementation of uniform dress standards in any district school, including those that have already elected to do so. DISCUSSION

Mr. Jim Randall gave the audience a synopsis of the Appropriate Dress For Students and Staff Task Force report. Mr. Frank Kellert said he felt there was a misunderstanding when the Board accepted the task force report. He said the Board only accepted the work of the task force and did not take action either to implement or not implement a dress code, but discharged the task force members of their duty. Mr. Leo Hise said as the maker of the motion to accept the task force report, he too was concerned over the apparent misunderstanding and reiterated that the Board did not take action to implement a, dress code for the schools.

Mr. Wayne Dempsey said he felt the issue was very difficult and has divided the community. Before the issue was discussed, it should have been decided how to implement. He said if the Board decided to implement a dress code it would not violate constitutional rights or diminish gang activities, but he said he does not feel that all parents have been heard and a decision does not need to be reached tonight.

DISCUSSION Mr. Wayne Dempsey said he felt in-house counsel could do the legal work better, more cost effectively, more efficiently, and meet the needs of the district, while saving taxpayer dollars. Mr. Jim Randall said he would prefer to have a general counsel as an employee of the district with a litigation counsel to be used as necessary and as approved.

EMPLOYMENT


/'

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 3, 1992

M-30

UNFINISHED BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

Dr. Arthur Steller suggested that until a cost study could be provided to Board members, that the Board should approve the current employment of attorneys for a designated period of time. He also said that the district is in litigation at the present time and would need a means to pay for the legal services being incurred.

Mr. Leo Hise noted the number of times the district is sued by individuals (not the district suing someone else), and said that he would be very reluctant to not extend contracts involving these cases until the present litigation and the litigation involving the Dowell case is resolved. Mr. Orel Peak said he shares the concerns of Messrs. Dempsey and Randall in looking at new ways in handling legal expenses and trying prudent management of legal expenses, but he also has concerns regarding the current cases in litigation.

Mr. Frank Kellert suggested that the timeframe when the reports are due back to the Board should coincide with the existing Board meetings. Dr. Arthur Steller asked about a 90 day timeline instead of a 60 day timeline, because of present staff involvement for the start of school.

Mrs. Kay Floyd said she had concerns with the timelines because of the starting of school and because of staff from the central office being on vacation. She said having some timeline flexibility would ensure getting the information needed and depending upon the Board's decision, give time for a proper search for personnel. She also said there will be times when the staff could incur a conflict of interest and outside counsel would still be needed. No change was made in the timelines. OLICE CONTRACT ITY OF SPENCER ABLED

3.

Police Contract;

City of Spencer

Approval of an agreement with the City of Spencer whereby the City agrees to furnish campus security and other police services for the district beginning July 1, 1992 through June 30, 1993, not to exceed $84,880.00 to be paid monthly as services are rendered. This expenditures is to be charged to account 11-2260-340. (Brought forward from the Board Meeting of July 13, 1992.) DISCUSSION Mr. Leo Hise said he was hesitant to approve a $84,000 contract with the City of Spencer since they did not have representatives at the Board meeting to answer any questions Board members might have.

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked for a clarification of the schools that would have security provided. Dr. Arthur Steller said under Item 3, Star Spencer High School (which currently has an Oklahoma City Police officer) and Rogers Middle School would have security provided by the Spencer Police.

A motion had been nade, a call for the question was made, and the Board did not vote on the call for the question, which requires a 2/3 majority. )4r. Jim Randall commented regarding the importance of recognizing the leeds of starting a new school year. flr. Frank Kellert said since school this year was starting after the jabor Day week end, the student count may be more accurate than in the past and should accelerate the process of getting enrollment data. flr. Leo Hise said he understood the concerns regarding the start of school, but noted that it was difficult for a district of our size to lave a completely smooth start. flrs. Thelma R. Parks said she hopes staff, determine the difference between accurate count of student enrollment requested placement on the agenda, for resignation of Dr. Phil Odom.

1.

Textbooks

Mrs. Parks called on Mr. Dempsey to lead the discussion on textbooks. Mr. Dempsey stated that he wanted to make sure that textbooks would be in the schools by the time school starts. He also wanted to learn the status of the offer by Saxon Book Company of free books for trial purposes. Dr. Betty Mason, Assistant Superintendent, Educational Services Division, explained that all textbooks have been ordered and the district is in better shape this year than previously, in terms of delivery schedules. Delivery of the state adopted books will start on August 11, 1992. The consumable items have also been ordered.

The Saxon books given to the district were also discussed. It was pointed out that the Saxon materials were not complete, could not be used as supplementary materials, and would have to be used as a unit since they were not in line with the district adoption. Dr. Mason said tliat she would recommend using afternoon or Saturday programs.

DISCUSSIOI


MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF AUGUST 10, 1992

H-2 DISCUSSION (CONTINUED) DISCUSSICN

Mr. Leo Rise mentioned a previous evaluation program of the Saxon books at Jefferson Middle School and Northwest Classen High School. Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked about the teachers' acceptance of the books Eor after school programs or for Saturday programs, and whether it would be confusing to the students using another book. Mrs. Shirley Schlagel, Secondary Curriculum Supervisor, Math, stated that confusion was possible, but she did not think the books would be in conflict with the state adopted books. However, teachers would have to be willing to work with two programs.

Mr. Wayne Dempsey provide books for < through 3. He children and they

stated that he understood Mr. Saxon was willing to 7 elementary schools to use this school year, grades said that since the books are not harmful to the were free, we should give them consideration.

Dn a related item, Mr. Orel Peak then outcome-based education.

asked how we

are

addressing

Dr. Arthur Steller said that our curriculum and textbooks are matched with the state learner outcomes. Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked that staff review the Board member's suggestions and report back on ways to incorporate the ideas mentioned.

2.

Board Policies

Mrs. Parks said this topic was listed in the agenda because Board nembers wanted to review Section B of the Policy Manual. She suggested limiting discussion on policies to 45 minutes.

Board Policy B-01:

BOARD OPERATIONAL GOALS

Mr. Orel Peak commented on items B and F of this policy and noted that presently we use a norm reference test to evaluate exit-outcomes, in Lieu of a criterion referenced test. Mr. Peak suggested giving an interest inventory (Strong Campbell Interest Inventory) early in the students' high school career, as a way to help with core selection.

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked if interest inventory tests were given at the lementary level. Dr. Betty Mason responded, they were not given until ligh school. Mr. Peak mentioned the Kuder Interest Inventory, for younger children, as something to review. He said he was not aware if Lt is still available or not. Board Policy B:14:

AUDITORS

Mr. Jim Randall recommended that the auditors should report directly to the Board. Discussion followed about whether such a statement was needed and whether the auditors did, in fact, report directly to the Board. The Board also discussed the internal auditor position. Mr. Wayne Dempsey said he agreed that in order to be accountable, auditors should report to the Board directly, just to make sure the public knows the Board is safeguarding the taxpayers dollars. Br. Steller stated language could be drafted to meet this request.

Mr. Leo Hise pointed out Board Policy B-14 applies to the auditor required by the state and that we did not have a policy to address the internal auditor.

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks asked that staff prepare a statement to incorporate Board member's suggestions and bring it back for further discussion.


MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF AUGUST 10, 1992

H-3 DISCUSSION (CONTINUED) Board Policy B-18:

CONSULTANTS TO THE BOARD

Mr. Randall asked that the language include a more complete description of the areas where consultants are used. Mr. Dempsey requested language for the development of RFP's be used to help hold down the costs. Dr. Steller stated that the definition of consultants causes some problems. Mr. Dempsey suggested this apply to "consultants to the Board." Mr. Peak suggested changing the term to "consultants for the Board" and said there should be a statement stating the amount consultants are being paid and target dates of completion.

Mrs. Parks said she was concerned about the phrase "consultants for the Board" when larger expenditures were involved. Mr. Hise stated the policy should refer to anything that is district-wide. Mrs. Parks suggested a dollar amount should perhaps be included in the language. During the discussion, it was suggested that the overall dollar amount for purchasing authority ought to be reviewed after seeing what limits are set on city and state administrators and other comparable size school districts. Mr. Dempsey suggested that the Board should not tie the superintendent's hands on who to use as consultants, just readjust the process. Mr. Peak and Mr. Randall said that financial concerns are important, however.

Board Policy B-23:

AGENDA PREPARATION AND DISSEMINATION

Mr. Den^sey said that items listed on the agenda should be the responsibility of the Board president. Messrs. Randall and Peak expressed agreement. Mr. Hise said he felt that the superintendent should not be bypassed by staff, citizens, and students concerning the listing of agenda items. Mrs. Parks stated her concern was that there should be assurance that an agenda will not be changed after approval by the Board president. Board Policy B-35:

BOARD-STAFF COMMUNICATIONS

Mr. Dempsey said there is a perception of what happens if an employee talks with a Board member. This needs to be clarified, much in the way that the whistle blower act protects state employees who talk with legislators. He explained that every employee should feel free to talk with Board members. Mrs. Parks said that it is important for teachers and others to know that the Board wants a harmonious relationship. On another matter, Mr. Wayne Dempsey requested a review of the regulations regarding use of buildings for political forums and an interpretation of the regulation regarding parents riding school buses.

Dr. Mason talked about Saturday school, noting that over 10,000 students attended. She said Saturday school aided students who experienced absences; and that it helped the district achieve accreditation. She said the after school programs have been successful and talked about the Chapter 1 after school programs including drug programs and the gifted after school programs. The concept is to provide an extended day program. Evaluation by the Research Department data showed that children who participate in the after school programs have significant academic gains when compared with the children that did not participate, especially those students in the Chapter 1 programs. Dr. Mason stressed that the programs are not mandatory and Dr. Steller commented that some of the programs bring in revenue through federal funds for Chapter 1, drug education, and Johnson O’Malley programs. State funds are also received for the gifted programs. Discussion continued about communication between the home-based, Saturday school, and traveling teachers for these programs. It was noted that teachers assigned to a building are supposed to be given first choice for the after school teaching assignments in that building. Dr. Steller told about the process of identifying sites for the after school programs and said both transportation needs and site selection are determined by pre-enrollment.

flr. Wayne Dempsey asked for an analysis of the cost (salaries, jtilities, etc.) versus the revenue received and demographics about who is being served in the after school and Saturday school programs.

firs. Thelma R. Parks asked for received by the district.

flrs. Thelma R. Parks directed staff to bring to the Board a proposal assuring the hiring of counselors, as recommended by a task force for the guidance program, presented to the Board last year.

*flr. Leo Hise said that we did need the things mentioned; counselors, teachers in the classroom, buildings repaired, etc., but all of these things make demands on the system and if we set priorities, then we are joing to have to live by those priorities. flrs.

LEVEL IV GRIEVANCE HEARING FOR GEORGIA lANNELLO, TEACHER

Urs. Laurie Jones said the grievance had not been heard at Levels II or III based upon earlier objections as to timeliness and the grievant’s alleged lack of standing. She said the respondent had filed 3 motions to dismiss with an alternative to remand and the grievant has responded to all motions.

flrs. Jones said that a grievance hearing involves contract interpretation. She said there may be testimony that was inadvertently Left out of the previous grievance hearing, but according to basic contract law, the contract speaks for itself and it would be parol vidence to allow testimony as to what the parties intended.

LEVEL IV HEARING GBCÂťGIA lANNELLO

Mr. Anthony DeGiusti read the Statement Of Grievance, for the record:

"That the school district make an accounting to the grievant for the amount of expenditure paid to Attorney Cunningham or her law firm; that the district recoup the legal expenditure from respondent Froede with strict proof thereof to the grievant; and that the district comply with the contract in the future."

Mr. DeGiusti asked for a modification of the relief sought deleting the portion where the district recoups the cost from respondent Froede. The Statement of Grievance would now read: "That the school district make an accounting to the grievant for the amount of expenditure paid to Attorney Cunningham or her law firm; and that the district comply with the contract in the future."

BY CONSENSUS, THE BOARD AGREED TO THE CHANGE OF RELIEF SOUGHT.

Ms. Carter asked that since the filing of the exhibits and witness list did not occur within the 10 days, as called for in Board Policy B-28: HEARING PROCEDURES, that they not be admitted.

Representative:

Mr. Anthony DeGiusti said the language the grievant feels was violated is Article IV, Section 3(J), which states: "The respondent and the grievant are responsible for the payment of their own representative and witnesses involved in a formal grievance hearing." A Level II grievance was heard in April, 1992 The grievant's name was Frances Brownlee and the respondent was Frank Froede, Principal, Capitol Hill High School. During the Level II hearing, Mr. DeGiusti said he asked who was paying the respondent's attorney fees and if the district was paying for the attorney for the respondent. He said he viewed the payment as a violation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement's grievance procedure and registered an objection. He said at that time, the Hearing Officer was to rule on the objection when a decision was handed down; that was not done. He also asked who was the respondent in the hearing, and was told Frank Froede. The Union and the Level III grievant, Georgia lannello, on June 17, 1992, was told that the attorney was to be paid by the district, which precipitated the current grievance. Mr. DeGiusti said it takes away a principal's incentive to settle grievances at a lower level if the district is paying for legal representation.

LEVEL IV HEARING GECRGIA lANNELLO

HEARING (CONTINUED)

Respondent's Representative: Mrs. Tammy Carter said the grievant's interpretation of Section 3(J) that principals must individually pay for legal representation for litigation arising from work related causes was inappropriate. She said teachers receive legal representation as part of their Union dues.

WITNESSES:

Darrel Shepard was sworn in by Laurie Jones, Hearing Officer. Patricia Ann Jones was sworn in by Darrel Shepard, Board Clerk. 1.

2.

Darrel Shepard, Clerk for the Board of Education and Executive Assistant to the Superintendent. Patricia Ann Jones, National Representative, American Federation of Teachers.

Witness Testimony:

1.

Mr. Shepard confirmed that Mr. DeGiusti had contacted him during the summer regarding who paid the respondent's legal fees and he said that the district did pay the fees.

Cross-Examination By Respondent’s Representative: Mrs. Carter asked Mr. Shepard if he was responsible for the payment of bills or for accounting. Mr. Shepard responded the invoices came through his office but the accounting department was responsible for payment of the invoices. 2.

Pat Jones said she has been a National representative for the AFT for 8 years and had 14 years experience as a Union representative negotiating contracts, interpretation of contract language, and was familiar with the Oklahoma City contract. She said in her opinion Article IV, Section 3(J) states the respondent and the grievant are responsible for payment of their representatives (which is inclusive of all representatives). In an effort to settle grievances at the lowest level, the AFT encouraged not seeking an attorney, but the use of a representative at the lowest grievance level. She said teachers pay Union dues and a portion of the dues are set aside for legal defense, and entitles teachers to legal representation. She said to her knowledge, the district had never paid for legal representation for a teacher at a grievance hearing.

Cross-Examination By Respondent’s Representative: Mrs. Carter asked Ms. Jones if she had negotiated contracts other than in Oklahoma City. Ms. Jones responded she had negotiated in other places, but had been assigned to Oklahoma City for quite a while. Ms. Jones said she felt the language in question was very clear without being ambiguous.

Ms. Tammy Carter asked if the Board would allow the principals, at a later meeting, to testify before a binding decision was made. The Hearing Officer said the request would be appropriate for the Board to consider.

HEARING (CONTINUED)

LEVEL IV HEARING GECRGIA lANNELLO

CLOSING STATEMENTS

Grievant’s Representative: Mr. DeGiusti reiterated the outline of a grievance procedure and told why this grievance reached Level IV. He also stated that teachers have always paid for their own attorneys, and not the Union, if the teacher desired to be represented by an attorney and not a Union representative. He stated that a portion of Union dues are set aside to cover the expense of representation by a Union representative and are not used to pay attorney fees. He said for principals to have attorney fees paid by the district is a violation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Respondent's Representative:

Mrs. Carter said it was her understanding that all teachers pay the same amount for Union dues whether they use the Union's legal service or not, and that principals do not have a Union that provides this kind of service. She also commented regarding contract interpretation and the intent of the negotiators when the current contract was approved. Mr. Jim Randall suggested that the Board recess to let each side prepare their Findings of Fact. By consensus of the Board members, recess at 11:25 p.m.

Mrs.

Thelma R.

Parks,

declared a

The Board reconvened at 11:45 p.m. and received findings of fact from Mr. DeGiusti and Mrs. Carter. At this point Mrs. Kay Floyd requested the record reflect:

"I have been present for these proceedings, but did not participate other than to ask for clarification and listen, and since Board Policy B-28 was not changed nor even suspended and the contract was not changed, and to my knowledge there was no vote taken on the proceedings that have been used and whereas, partly in Mr. DeGiusti's own words, the policy and the contract should rule, I would ask that you further let the record show that I am leaving at this point. I'm leaving the meeting because I simply cannot either discuss or vote in a non-existent proceeding and I will return for the rest of the meeting following this vote."

Mrs. Thelma Parks said: "A statement had been made by Mrs. Floyd and I would like for the record to indicate that the procedures for this meeting and this hearing were placed before the Board and a vote was taken on each of the items that were discussed and that Mrs. Floyd did participate in that discussion and did cast a vote. Only on one situation did she not vote and she did vote then saying, "present" but it was neither yes or no. I think the record should reflect that. Based upon the statement that was made and based upon her departure from this meeting, Mrs. Floyd did participate in all of the discussion and did cast a vote."

R. #169 DECLINE USE OF SAXCW MATH MATERIALS


z

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 1992

PURCHASING AND GENERAL BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

DISCUSSION

Mr. Wayne Dempsey said he had read the report on Saxon from Dr. Betty

Mason, Assistant Superintendent, Educational Services Division, and was not convinced that the district has all the answers for meeting the needs of the children. He said the district should remain open to new ideas. He also noted that the staff report on this issue was slow coming to the Board. Mr. Dempsey said that we owe it to the citizens and children to try any programs that may have value, especially those that would be donated to us. He also requested that the Board receive information on items like this in a timely manner in the future.

Mr. Frank Kellert said he agreed with Mr. Dempsey that the timing of the

report was not appropriate, but the district has a competent textbook selection committee that works during the summer to decide on textbook adoption. He felt Mr. Saxon received fair play from the selection committee on their decision not to select his program.

Mrs. Kay Floyd said the textbook committee should approve all textbooks

before they are presented to the Board. She said Mr. Saxon can try for approval next year and recommended he use the appropriate channels by having his material reviewed first by the textbook committee.

Mr. Jim Randall said he felt the Board did not initially receive all the pertinent information and that the Saxon program was not completely cost free. He also said references had been made to Board Policy G-09: GIFTS, but said this policy did not apply to this particular situation. Mr. Dempsey noted that Mr. Saxon did not represent that the materials

would be completely cost free to the district. Mr. Saxon offered to provide materials to 7 district schools and the district would be responsible for manipulatives to be used with the program.

Dr. Steller confirmed that it was a sales person on Mr. Saxon's staff that made a misrepresentation misinformation. #170 \PPAROVE MENTAL MATURITY TESTS AT DENBAR ELEMENTARY

For Use At Dunbar Elementary School

By Board request, recommend approval to purchase Mental Maturity Tests for use at Dunbar Elementary School from Riverside Publishing Company. This purchase, not to exceed $2,500.00, is to be charged to account 3-11-000-2123-650-000-0000-000-059.


MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 8, 1992

H~17 PURCHASING AND GENERAL BUSINESS (CONTINUED) DISCUSSION

Mr. Peak asked if the cost of $2,500 was a realistic figure for tests for 250 students. Dr. George Kimball, Acting Director, PRIS, responded

that the student count had been estimated at 363 and the cost was based on a per pupil amount. There was discussion regarding in-house scoring. Dr. Kimball noted the district would need to purchase the software, norms, and correct-incorrect responses from Riverside and that it is more cost efficient at this time to not perform the scoring in house. Mr. Peak expressed concern regarding the proper use of these tests and said perhaps guidance and career development programs can be implemented for the benefit of those students whose maturation levels are lower.

Mrs. Floyd asked if Dunbar Elementary had been chosen because it is a high challenge school. Dr. Steller acknowledged the school was chosen to be a pilot program because it was a high challenge school.

COMMENTS

Mr. Wayne Dempsey said he had visited several buildings and noted that

the district has a monumental task ahead, which will require community support and understanding. He said the district needs to face reality and consider the possibility of providing services in places other than the buildings currently being used.

Mr. Dempsey also commended the Transportation Department staff for their willingness to help patrons with problems and their polite attitude when dealing with patrons. He also commented that some schools and classes still do textbooks and requested that this be corrected immediately.

have

By way of observation, Mr. Dempsey said at least two middle schools were without police protection on the first day of school. He expressed concern with the City of Oklahoma City for not having officers assigned since the contract was approved over a month ago. He said money should be deducted from the approved contract amount for each day the schools are without an officer.

Mr. Dempsey also requested a report on the cost and impact associated with the creation of five additional elementary counseling positions. He asked that this report be presented at the meeting of September 21, 1992, along with an action line that would give the Board the option of possibly adding positions and instructing the superintendent to fill those positions.

Mr. Dempsey further said he feels the Board needs to be truthful and forthright with their constituents and tell them it is the Board that sets policies, directions, and decisions without hiding behind the superintendent .

Mr. Orel Peak commented that he had received many calls regarding the

transfer of John Sanders from Capitol Hill High School to Northeast. He said Southside schools feel they do not get the same understanding as other schools and asked that the transfer be reconsidered based on the petition received and the amount of patron involvement protesting the transfer.

Mrs. Kay Floyd requested that each Board member receive the latest copy of the district Affirmative Action Plan.

BOARD

MEMBERS'

BUSINESS / COMMENTS

Mr. Jim Randall coiranented about last Friday's football game between Capitol Hill and Northwest Classen High Schools. On another topic, he also stated that parents, patrons, teachers, staff, and students are always welcome at Board meetings to speak their concerns. He voiced support for student recesses and encouraged patrons who have questions to continue to seek information.

BOARD MEMBERS' BOSINESS/OOMMENTS

Mr. Wayne Dempsey said that the patrons and staff at Pierce Elementary School should be commended for having a good after school program and serving the needs of the community.

Mr. Dempsey also pointed out the responsibilities of elected Board members according to Title 70 of the 1991 Oklahoma statutes, saying the Board of Education shall exercise sole control over all the schools and property of the district. He said what this means to him is that the Board has the responsibility for its decisions and must be accountable for its actions, not the superintendent. Mr. Orel Peak talked about telephone calls he had received regarding the operations of the district and said he feels Board members should be made aware of any incident that occurs within the district. He commended the students speaking tonight for positively expressing themselves about a staff person they admired.

He also said that the Board should seriously consider the recommendation for an investigation concerning the action relating to the transfer of John Sanders. He added that Mrs. Parks, as Board President should direct that investigation. Mr. Peak said after the vote at the September 8 Board meeting regarding using the Saxon math materials in a pilot program, he visited Monroe Elementary School in Norman, Oklahoma and met with Mr. Saxon. At the school he observed a third grade class and visited with fifth grade students using the Saxon math materials. Mr. Peak said he was impressed with the enthusiastic response of the students. He presented the following motion:

BOARD MEMBERS' BUSINESS/COMMENTS (CONTINUED) BOARD MEMBERS’ DISCUSSION BUSINESS/COMMENTS

Mr. Frank Kellert requested that teachers serving on the textbook selection committee be present during the October 5 meeting to answer questions from Board members. Mr. Jim Randall said he encouraged input from teachers, but added that Mr. Saxon should also be present. .

Mrs. Kay Floyd said Saturday School should be reviewed as far as attendance is concerned, noting that there seems to be varying use of the policy regarding skipping class. She said it was obvious that many of the after school programs are working well and in those schools where it is not working, it might be an administration problem or a problem with staff in the program. Mrs. Floyd also announced that the John Marshall High School band won first place in the State Fair Parade last Saturday. She said she was concerned that John Marshall High School was the only band from Oklahoma City in the parade.

The forthcoming OSSBA State Legislative Network was mentioned by Mrs. Floyd as were the new goals of the legislative committee. She encouraged Board members to attend the meeting to support our district's views.

.

Mr. Leo Hise noted that as a member of the Council of Great City Schools he lobbied in March for the Harkins amendment to provide funds for education for inner-city schools from defense cut backs. Regarding Citizens Comments about the Saturday school and after school programs, he said the district needs to address the problems mentioned earlier. He also suggested reevaluating having children sit 5.5 hours in a classroom without a break or recess.

He acknowledged Mr. Peak's request to look into the allegations at Capitol Hill and stated that a problem may exist that needs to be reviewed. He asked that a committee be appointed and that at least two of the members be Mr. Peak and himself. Mr. Hise commented that Boards have recently been criticized for not taking responsibility for a district. He noted that a representative in the state legislature has drafted a bill to make the recall of Board members easier.

.

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks said that the Board has challenged her to begin an investigation concerning the allegations at Capitol Hill and she will proceed in that direction. She asked Mr. Peak and Mr. Hise to serve on a committee with her to review the situation.

She also said that she feels for the first time the Board is acting like a Board and being responsive to the concerns expressed by parents and students. She said that she was glad staff was present to hear the Board's concerns, and she commended her fellow Board members for their efforts as well.

Mrs. Parks commented that she and Mrs. Floyd had just returned from a National School Boards Association Annual Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will give their report at a later meeting.

SPECIAL

BUSINESS

5 Elementary Counseling Positions By Board request at the meeting of September 8, 1992, consideration to create 5 additional elementary counseling positions and authorization for the superintendent to fill those positions. Total annual cost, estimated at $146,016.00, will come from reductions in maintenance and operations, and garage service accounts budget for supplies, materials, and equipment. (Note; If approval is postponed until completion of staffing and negotiations currently in progress, expenditures could possibly come from other accounts.)

Wayne Dempsey Jim Randall

MOVE THAT 6 ADDITIONAL COUNSELING POSITIONS BE CREATED AND AUTHORIZATION FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT TO FILL THOSE POSITIONS. TOTAL ANNUAL COST ESTIMATED AT $175,000. ALSO, THAT THE POSITION OF ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF CURRICULUM BE FROZEN; AND THE POSITIONS OF ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION AND PUBLICATION SERVICES, AND THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING, RESEARCH, AND INFORMATION SERVICES BE FILLED WITH ACTING POSITIONS.

Mrs. Mr. Mr. Mrs.

Floyd, Randall, Hise, Parks,

no yes no yes

Mr. Mr. Mr.

Kellert, Dempsey, Peak,

no yes yes

MOTION CARRIED 4 aye, 3 no.

DISCUSSION

Mr. Dempsey said his substitute motion provides that the funds be taken from administrative positions and he feels it is time the Board look at areas where the district can function with less administrators as well as living with less in the schools. He said if he had to choose, he would take the money from administration. Mr. Peak commented in favor of more elementary counselors, saying more counselors would allow problems to be addressed that would reduce the number of days missed by students. Mr. Kellert expressed his agreement with the need for counselors but said he was concerned about the financial impact to the district because of some pending litigation.


MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 21, 1992 M-13

SPECIAL BUSINESS (CONTINUED) Mrs. Floyd talked about the need for counselors in relation to other emergency needs of the district, including asbestos problems and maintenance problems. She mentioned that contract counselors have previously been called in to work with children who have suffered traumas and suggested this may be a way to meet the counseling need. She said she cannot support this motion without more research and more study, and that just bringing in more people may not be the answer.

Mr. Kellert said it is obvious that the district does not have any noncritical area. He said he could support a motion if it provides for more flexibility, with input from staff where the money could come from and a list of options, at the time the decision is made. Mr. Hise said that he could not support freezing the position of assistant superintendent of curriculum because he feels this position is needed to develop better programs. He said as a Board member, he felt it is a conflict to pin point where the funding for hiring additional counselors will come from.

Mr. Randall noted that all Board members agree there is a need for counselors and the disagreement is how to fund the positions. He said he feels there is a very basic need for counselors and the district needs to work toward having one elementary counselor in each building. Mrs. Floyd said she voted no due to the identified sources of funding and the lack of ability to fund.

Mr. Kellert said based on the position of assistant superintendent of curriculum being frozen he voted no. Mr. Hise asked that the minutes reflect: "I am for hiring the additional counselors. I just cannot vote when the positions that are not going to be filled are specified." AMENDMENT TO THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION R. #181 CHANGE NUMBER OF COUNSELCRS FROM 5 to 6

Mr. Hise clarified his position by suggesting the 6 counselors should be hired after first filling the needed basic teaching positions.

CITIZENS' COMMENTS

CITIZEN S'

1.

COMMENTS

Mr. Dale Langley, Golden Gloves Old Timers, talked about using a vacant building for the golden gloves program and stressed his reasons for wanting a building for use by young people. He said they could not pay rent, but hoped the services provided to youngsters by their organization would be payment enough.

Mr. Hise suggested that Mr. Langley provide to the district more detailed information regarding the amount of space needed, usage times, days of operation, etc. He said a vacant building may not be the answer but an alternative solution could possibly be found to serve their needs. Prior to Dr. Mari Scott speaking, Mr. Hise questioned what organization Dr. Scott represented and suggested that Policy B-26 should be suspended, since that policy limits Citizens' Comments to residents of the district, employees, or official representatives of a recognized group or organization.

Mr. Dempsey asked to go on record as saying, "Madam President. I think that any citizen of the United States of America, or any other human being ought to be able to speak before this Board at any time. But I do appreciate what Mr. Hise is saying and if we need a motion to allow her to speak, I'm perfectly willing to make that motion. I think it's a ridiculous thing that we would question whether anyone is a resident of this school district. That is absolutely ridiculous and I apologize to you (Dr. Scott) because that's ridiculous and stupid." R. #291 APPROVAL: SUSPEND BOARD POLICY B-26: PUBLIC PARTICIPATIOJ AT BOE MEETINGS

talked about

Mr. Dempsey said he was frustrated about starting a pilot program at this time of the year. He said he would vote for the motion because he had not heard anyone say it was wrong to try a pilot program or try something new. Mr. Kellert said he had talked with Mr. Saxon and was told there was documentation to support the use of the Saxon materials in other urban districts but in the materials received tonight there was information on a district that had less than 7,000 students. Mr. Kellert said he felt the issue was not trying something new, but the issue was whether to support site-based management and the need to let teaching professionals decide on the books they wanted to use. He suggested that the books should come through the regular process.

Mrs. Floyd said concerns had been expressed that the Saxon materials did not address learning styles, slow or accelerated learners, or outcomes based skills. Mrs. Floyd questioned when the program will be evaluated for student progress; if the program will be in existence as a pilot program for 4 years; how much the materials will cost to continue the program next year; and asked for clarification for what the vote would actually constitute. Mr. Peak responded that use in the schools will be on a volunteer basis and that he felt the program should be evaluated at the end of the 92-93 school year and that testing in the pilot schools would be needed to determine gains.

ITBS TESTING DISCUSSION

BOARD MEMBERS’ BUSINESS/COMMENTS (CONTINUED) DISCUSSION Mr. Randall read coniments which had been gathered through research materials from Arizona State University regarding testing saying that the district should become more out-come based as opposed to using one specific test. Mr. Kellert expressed concern over testing of young children, but said the use of standardized tests is a mandatory requirement by the state. He further said the more times a child is given a test, the less intimidating the test becomes. He also said he felt accountability to the public should not be reduced by eliminating tests for all the grades that are tested.

Mrs. Floyd asked if there was information available as to whether other school districts had eliminated testing except for those grades mandated by the state. Mr. Randall replied that the Mid-Del district tests only grades 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. Mr. Randall said that on the next agenda he would include an agenda item on the formation of a developmental committee to study the testing process.

Mr. Hise said he had a problem with dropping any kind of testing and evaluation for students in the third grade and above because it was very difficult to teach a course that was not evaluated since the district deals with national programs and goals. Mr. Kellert said he had not heard any rationale discussed tonight for removing grades 4 and 6. Mr. Randall said test scores at the end of the 3rd and 5th grades were analyzed. The essential skills testing within our district can be used to grade performance and measure student assessment at the non-test grades. He said in his opinion, a standardized test should not be used for any purpose other than assessment, regardless of the grade. Mr. Dempsey said it was difficult to know what should be done, but that funds spent on testing might be better used elsewhere to help meet the needs of the students.

Mrs. Floyd said in all the discussion regarding district professional had been asked for input.

Mrs. Parks asked if staff members had comments or statements. Dr. Betty Mason, Assistant Superintendent, Educational Services Division, Dr. George Kimball, Acting Director, Planning, Research and Information Services Division, Ms. Glenda Peters, Administrator, Gifted Education Programs, and Dr. Henry Walding, principal, Bodine Elementary School, commented regarding the implications of suspending the testing program at the grades being discussed. Ms. Hazel Gentry, teacher, said she sees the value of testing, but does not like the stress of testing early childhood students. Mrs. Parks expressed concern that staff was not prepared to discuss the ITBS testing agenda item.

Mr. Hise said he had called regarding the testing agenda item and staff did not have background information regarding the agenda item or what was to be discussed. Mr. Peak commented. regarding the time teachers spend preparing students for the test taking. He recommended the testing item be delayed until all issues can be expressed.

Mr. Peak, for clarification, further said, if not resolved, the committee may require legal counsel to proceed. Should it become necessary to have legal counsel, he asked that the Board grant the request. Mrs. Floyd asked if the Board could delegate the authority to hire legal counsel, and if Mr. Peak was requesting the Board to approve the 3 member committee to hire legal counsel or to authorize the committee to make the decision to hire counsel.

Mr. Peak said he was asking the Board to approve or disapprove the use of legal counsel. Mrs. Jones, General Counsel, said the agenda item was broad based in description, and the item suggested contemplation of the employment of additional legal counsel, and that it would be more appropriate for the committee to place a specific agenda item on a future agenda requesting authorization for legal counsel, if needed. Mr. Hise said to further clarify the statements, that the 3 member committee may, at a later date, need to come back to the Board and request approval to hire legal counsel and that the motion was to request approval of the inquiry by the 3 member committee comprised of Board members.

M-22 TERMINATION HEARING FOR JAMES RIPER, SUPPORT EMPLOYEE, AS RECOMMENDED BY HIS EMPLOYMENT SUPERVISOR. PRETERMINATICW EJEARING PCR JAMES RIPER, SUPPCRT PERSasiNEL

Hrs. Laurie Jones, Hearing Officer, said the hearing would be both a pretermination and post-suspension hearing; she pointed out that Mr. kiper had been recommended for termination; and also had served a ten (10) day suspension, as recommended by his supervisor, Mr. Steven Lacey, on July 6, 1992. The recommendation and suspension were appealed by Mr. Riper for a full hearing before the Board on July 24, 1992. Hrs. Jones said she had received a written motion in limine seeking to exclude certain evidence. On October 19, oral argument was heard on the notion in limini and appellant's counsel offered an oral response objecting to the motion in limini with a ruling by the hearing officer being made at that time since it dealt solely with evidentiary matters. A transcript of the ruling was made and provided to both parties which stated in essence; "The evidence can come in a narrowly circumscribed manner. The evidence substance or the merits of some of the evidence will not be tried tonight. The sole issues for the Board to determine tonight are the propriety of the imposed suspension and the recommendation for termination. The standard of proof is by a preponderance of the evidence and the burden of proof is on the respondent (administration) in both instances."

Hs. Cunningham requested, without objection from the appellant's attorney, that the rule of witness sequestration be evoked. OPENING STATEMENTS:

Respondent: Ms. Cunningham said the evidence will cover two incidents concerning Mr. James Kiper, one of which led to the recommendation for suspension. The other incident which violated established safety procedures in lighting hot water heater at Taft Stadium led to the recommendation for termination. Appellant:

Hr. Angel said the case involved broader issues than what has been presented by the administration. Mr. Angel outlined the sequence of events from 1987 forward and said prior to that time, Mr. Kiper was an exemplary employee. EXHIBITS

Upon cross-examination, Mr. Lacey denied knowing that Mr. Kiper was trying to obtain reinstatement to a supervisory position through the help of an attorney; he denied having knowledge on July 7 that Mr. Kiper was requesting a postponement of the pre-disciplinary hearing; that he received notification from an attorney regarding the postponement on July 8; that the date shown on the letter as received by his office was July 7, but that he did not personally receive the notice, and a stamp was on the letter showing it was received in Personnel Services on July 7; that Mr. Kiper brought another copy to his attention on July 8; that from the stamps on the letter, a copy of the letter was received in two different offices on July 7, requesting a postponement of the hearing; that he had the authority to reschedule the hearing; that if he had received the request prior to the hearing he would have requested that the hearing be rescheduled; that Mr. Kiper only threw the letter on his desk on July 8 and walked out of his office; that he could not identify any incorrect testimony given by Mr. Hulen Jackson regarding the operation of the hot water heater; upon further questioning from Mr. Angel, stated he did not agree with Mr. Jackson's statement that the gauge that mixes the hot and cold water (on the hot water heater) had a safety to keep hot water from coming out; that he did not know what temperature the tank thermostat was set to on the day in question; that he went to Taft Stadium a few days later; that when he did go to Taft he looked at the thermostat, but does not remember where it was set; that he was unaware of the temperature setting on the hot water heater in the showers on the opposite side of the stadium; that no one told him scalding water came out of the shower heads when Mr. Davis turned them on; that he disagreed with Mr. Angel there was no evidence that the burners to the hot water tank were on and that Mr. Lacey believes the burners were on because Mr. Davis saw a mist of steam coming out of the shower heads when he turned them on; that heat was not necessary to have hydrogen gas escape from the shower heads; that the pressure release valve would not be sufficient to release all pressure from the piping system. Upon cross-examination regarding Mr. Kiper's past work history (exempting the February, 1991 incident), Mr. Lacy testified that he had not looked at Mr. Kiper's personnel file at the Administration Building to determine if there had been previous disciplinary actions taken, but had looked at Mr. Kiper's file at the Service Center; that he thought there was prior discipline, but he not know the circumstances or dates; the reason it took between six and seven weeks to prepare the significant event reports was due to his other supervisory duties; that he began to mistrust Mr. Kiper's work habits after his second visit at Taft Stadium; that during the six weeks before the significant event reports were prepared he continued to have Mr. Kiper work on (non-hot) plumbing assignments; that the instructions given to Mr. Kiper regarding Taft Stadium was only to light the tank; that upon his inspection of the gas valve on the hot water heater the valve was operating properly; that from his review of the hot water heater the safety features, except for the mixing valve, that would prevent an explosion were operating properly; that Respondent's Exhibit 19 only shows that Mr. Kiper called in while he was at Harding Middle School and did not call in during the rest of the day; and that Respondent's Exhibit 18 shows two entries, one for Taft (School) and one for Taft Std. (Stadium) and that they would be listed separately by different work orders.

Upon cross-examination, Mr. Skinner testified he had been working on replacing the main water lines at Taft Stadium since April; the shower room in question was located on the West side of the stadium and the work they were doing had been completed on the West side on Thursday evening (May 28); that on Thursday the water had been turned back on; that when the main water line is turned off, air gets into all of the water lines; that their primary concern was getting water back to the rest rooms and not the showers; that the shower lines were not bled for air; that neither he nor Mr. Wright was at work on Friday; when he turned on the showers Monday, if air, gas, or mist had been present he would have known there was water pressure present; that if Mr. Davis had opened the cold water valve all the way on Friday, water pressure would have been present; that when a valve is first opened you can hear air coming into the system; that it was possible for steam, gas, or water to come through the shower heads with the cold water valve closed all the way, but not for 15 minutes as previous testimony had indicated; and that the cold water valve had been placed in a negative off position.

Redirect Examination by Respondent’s Attorney: Upon redirect, Ms. Cunningham questioned Mr. Skinner regarding the written statement he had submitted as evidence stating the cold water feed valve which he checked on Monday (June 1) was barely cracked (open) and then upon cross examination he said it was in a negative off position. Mr. Skinner clarified that the valve was not completely holding and the water was bleeding through. 2.

Mr. Vern Moore testified he was the Executive Director of Personnel Services Division during July, 1992. Regarding Respondent's Exhibit 4 he testified he did not have personal knowledge of Mr. Kiper’s request to postpone the July 8 pre-disciplinary hearing; that the hearing was conducted by Mr. Mark Reed and that Mr. Reed

?eported to him; that the recommendation for the ten day suspension following the Stonegate Elementary School incident was approved by him jecause there had been previous disciplinary action against Mr. Kiper 7hich carried a three day suspension and that it was customary to [increase the length of suspension time; that he was authorized to [implement the suspension; and he was unaware that Mr. Kiper received salary during his ten day suspension at the time of occurrence.

Mr. Moore testified regarding Mr. Kiper's previous disciplinary procedures including an incident at Douglass High School in 1991 when Mr. Kiper received a three day suspension (Respondent's Exhibit 26 and Respondent's Exhibit 27); that the three day suspension was appealed and not presented to the Board due to a settlement agreement reached between Mr. Kiper and Oklahoma City Public Schools.

Mr. Moore stated he was in Personnel Services in 1985 when Mr. Kiper was demoted from his supervisory position; that the demotion was due to delivery of school district property to an outside entity without permission; that Mr. Kiper used the grievance procedure to protest the change in vacation accrual of the demotion; that an appeal was filed on the Level II grievance decision regarding the vacation days but the grievance has not been heard before the Board; that a lawsuit was filed by Mr. Kiper two years after the demotion; that a fact finding committee was established that rendered a decision recommending that Mr. Kiper be restored to his prior position, which has not been done, due to a need for clarification of the fact finders report and because appropriate meetings with the representatives have not resulted in an agreement by both parties of the fact finders report; that Mr. Kiper's previous position as division supervisor is no longer available; that offers for payment of back wages have been made; that the current supervisors (Lacey and Bode) have not been involved in the issue of settlement of back wages, nor have they been kept informed; that directions have not been given to the supervisors because of the pending dispute; and that the dispute will remain regardless of the Board's decision for this hearing. Cross-Examination by Appellant's Attorney;

jjpon cross-examination, Mr. Moore testified that Appellant Exhibit 2 was me of the reports of the fact finding committee; that he probably Received this report within a week after the date of the request; that le report states in portion: "As a result of the above the committee Recommends that Mr. Kiper be restored to the position of maintenance Ijivision supervisor, that his seniority be restored and that he receive ick pay and fringe benefits dating back to the date of his demotion in :cordance with legal and fiscal constraints."; and that disciplinary ajction, according to contract language, can be removed from a personnel fnle by employee request after three years, unless the document can lead tp dismissal or termination; if a request for removal is made by an employee the decision is made by Personnel Services. Regarding the Douglass High School, 1991, incident which resulted in a three day suspension, Mr. Moore testified that Exhibit 26 is not the original letter and that the original letter contained greater detail; that Exhibit 27, paragraph 2 states: "School will remove from Kiper's personnel file that certain letter dated June 3, 1991; and that these two exhibits were negotiated in lieu of a hearing before the Board with tpe original letter to be destroyed.

Mt. Moore said that Personnel Services encourages supervisors to move expediently whenever possible on disciplinary matters; that it is normal procedure to give individuals notices of proposed suspension hearings and then hold the hearing as quickly as possible; that it is not uncommon for an employee to request and receive a postponement; and that it was his understanding that Mr. Kiper was paid during his ten day suspension due to a clerical error.


MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 19, 1992

^31 HEARING (CONTINUED) Ms. Peggy Cunningham, attorney for the Respondent, stated for the record that it is not the intent of the administration to seek recovery of the funds for the ten day suspension. Mr. Angel said that if the suspension was upheld during this hearing the documentation would remain in Mr. Kiper's personnel file and would be the basis of future disoipll’oaiy action, Mr, Vern Moore responded that unless there was action to remove it that would be a correct statement. Mr. Moore further testified that he has received correspondence from Mr. Kiper’s attorney regarding the fact finding committee's report throughout the timeframe; that he had received two letters from Mr. Kiper’s attorney dated June 4 and June 19, 1992, regarding the payment of funds as agreed; that he did not recall receiving a letter from Mr. Kiper dated July 27, 1992; that he initiated a conference with Mr. Kiper's attorney to proceed and he said he felt the letters he received from the attorney was in response to his calls; that due to reorganization Mr. Kiper's original position was no longer available; that the supervisory duties are now being performed by Mr. Lacey; and that an offer has not been made to Mr. Kiper to restore his supervisory position.

Redirect Examination by Respondent's Attorney; Ms. Cunningham questioned Mr. Moore regarding the letters (dated June 4 and 19, 1992) received from Mr. Kiper's attorney. Mr. Moore said he did not send copies of the letters to Service Center personnel; regarding the Douglass incident, and as a result of the settlement procedure, the original letter (dated June 3) was more detailed with the subsequent (final) letter dated June 3 being modified; and that Mr. Reed usually communicates with the supervisor when a pre-disciplinary hearing is scheduled, and he said he becomes involved at the time the hearing is scheduled and immediately after the hearing with Mr. Reed. BY BOARD CONSENSUS, A FIVE MINUTE RECESS WAS GRANTED.

Mr. Steven Lacey was recalled by Respondent's Attorney to explain his demeanor during his initial testimony.

THE RESPONDENTS CONCLUDED THEIR TESTIMONY.

Testimony of Appellant's Witnesses; 1.

Mr. James Kiper testified he was presently an Assistant Division Supervisor with the Maintenance Department and has worked for the district since October, 1982, as a BAT plumber. He was promoted in April, 1984, to Assistant Division Supervisor, Division VI, then in September, 1984 he was promoted to Division Supervisor, supervising 38 people, entailing the same level of supervision that Mr. Lacey now holds, and held that position until 1987 when he received a demotion. He testified that after his demotion Mr. Lacey did not immediately assume part of the responsibility of his position; that after the demotion he did initiate a lawsuit and to reach resolution he agreed to submit the suit to an investigative committee; a recommendation from the investigative committee was made in 1990; that Mr. Lacey had not assumed a part or all of his previous supervisory duties when the investigative committee recommendation was received, but those duties were assigned to Mr. Lacey after the recommendation; that prior to 1990 he had received one disciplinary action, consisting of a written reprimand, for being at the AFT Union Office with a district vehicle during June, 1989; and that he received a three day suspension in June, 1991.

PRETEEVIINATICN HEARING FCR JAMES KIPER, SUPPCRT PERSOJNEL

Mr. Kiper further testified about the May 18 Stonegate Elementary School incident involving a bucket of hot water saying he had gone into the main building to get the bucket of hot water and was carrying the bucket down the hall way when five children came in the door. When the children came in the door he in effect said to them "Come on kids get out of the door, this water is hot." At that point the first three children came on through the door and walked to the side of the hallway, the fourth child put his hands across the doorway. He said at that point he had taken several more steps and said "This water is hot, stop acting a fool and get out of the way" and at that point the child moved outside of the building with the other child that was holding the door. He said the second time he spoke to the children his voice was probably more stern than the first time he spoke to the children, but with his type of voice it is hard, at times, to be considered "kind with kids." The next thing he heard regarding the incident was when Mr. Hulen Jackson, Leadman, came out to the annex and told him he could not call the kids names. Mr. Kiper responded that he had not called the kid’s names with a "pretty good discussion" following. Mr. Jackson told Mr. Kiper he felt he should apologize to the teacher because she was upset. He said he told Mr. Jackson he felt the teacher should apologize to him because the teacher was at her door and heard what happened and did nothing to assist. Mr. Jackson then directed Mr. Kiper to apologize to the teacher, which he did. Mr. Angel questioned Mr. Kiper during the time after the incident (May 18) and before the suspension on July 6 if he heard anything further regarding the incident and Mr. Kiper responded no one questioned him. Regarding the incident at Taft Stadium, Mr. Angel asked Mr. Kiper to relate what happened that day. Mr. Kiper said he was dispatched by the radio operator at the Service Center to go to Taft Stadium to light the hot water heaters. He and Mr. Thomas (who had only been working with him 2 days) arrived at the Stadium and went to the West side dressing rooms. Mr. Kiper then explained his actions during the time he was in the hot water tank area. He opened the door, looked at the valve arrangement at the front of the hot water tank, went behind the hot water tank to the T&P valve and "popped the T&P valve" to make certain it was "active" and to see if there was pressure on the tank. He said he went to the front of the tank and turned on the gas valve to pilot (it was already turned on) and lit the tank as per the lighting instructions waiting until the thermal pilot generator is heated and then turned the gas valve to on. He said that he waited around (putting his torch back in the truck) until the burner went off, which is procedure. He said the entire procedure took 25 to 30 minutes to perform. Upon questions regarding previous testimony regarding the danger of rupturing or blowing up the tank if it was empty, Mr. Kiper said based upon his experience as a plumber, there was not a danger as the tank is equipped with a pressure/temperature relief valve that relieves the pressure at 150 psi and a 210 degree temperature release. Also the tank is equipped with a thermostat on the side set within the range of 140 to 155 degrees; that the water could not overheat without the burner having a malfunction, and if the burner did malfunction the T&P valve would go off and eliminate any danger. Regarding the testimony on hydrogen gas, Mr. Kiper said that hydrogen gas cannot build up with the pilot light off, and for hydrogen gas to form the elements in the water must break down into two parts (hydrogen and oxygen). Regarding the testimony of Mr. Davis seeing something come from the shower heads, in Mr. Kiper's opinion, what Mr. Davis experienced was air in the system which occurred by work being done on the lines. He said just turning off the water in the system would not be enough to get air in the pipes, that the system would need to have been broken apart to

allow air in and that air would gather at the highest point. Mr. Angel asked if bleeding the lines in one location (at the lowest area) would bleed all the air out of the lines, and Mr. Kiper responded it would not. Mr. Angel asked if what Mr. Davis saw coming from the shower heads would require positive water pressure, and Mr. Kiper responded if the tank had not overheated, it had to be positive pressure and that amount of pressure would not be available if the cold water intake valve to the tank was turned off, but if the valve was barely open, there would be sufficient pressure to push out whatever Mr. Davis saw coming from the shower heads. Mr. Kiper testified that on the same evening after returning to the plumbing shop, Mr. Jackson told him he had been called to the job on the hot water tank at Taft because the water was not turned on all the way and it was a dangerous situation. Mr. Angel asked if between that time and July 6 when he received his notice of termination, if anyone talked with him or if a supervisor suggested the incident would be the basis of disciplinary action. Mr. Kiper responded no. Concerning the resolution of the fact finders decision in 1990, Mr. Angel asked if anything occurred on or about June, 1992 in an attempt to obtain compliance with the agreement and Mr. Kiper responded that his attorney had visited with Mr. Vern Moore, Personnel Services Division, on June 4 and wrote letters dated June 4 and 19. He also wrote a note to Mr. Moore, enclosing his attorneys letters, to let Mr. Moore know that compliance was expected by the last Monday in July, and that he had waited long enough. Mr. Kiper testified that Mr. Lacey had been aware of the dispute between himself and the administration.

Cross-Examination by Respondent’s Attorney; Mrs. Cunningham asked Mr. Kiper about the note he gave to Mr. Lacey. Further questions were asked about safety features on hot water tanks; about the incident where he received disciplinary action for taking a district vehicle, during working hours, to the Union hall; the incident at Stonegate Elementary School when the teacher told him she had heard him call the students "a fool"; that he was disciplined because of his language around students at Douglass High School; that he did attend the pre-disciplinary hearing resulting from the Douglass incident; that he thought the hearing would be the end to the matter; that he did not have a work order with him when he received the call to go to Taft Stadium; that he was instructed to light the hot water tank; that he was not informed regarding the status of the hot water tank; that he disagreed with the testimony of Mr. Roger Davis; that when he opened the T&P valve the "pressure flowed" through, and he could feel and hear that it was water; that he did not turn on any of the showers while he was in the shower room; that he did not open up the cold water feed valve or check to see if the valve was open; that he did not add water to the tank only when he popped the T&P valve and some water was displaced; that he did not bleed air from the lines while he was there; that the testimony of Mr. Thomas was different from his; that he was in the area 25 to 30 minutes; that after leaving the hot water tank area, he drove his truck to the East side of Taft Stadium and stopped and called the radio dispatcher to see if anything had been determined regarding the East side dressing room; that the dispatcher called back and said they did not need the tank lit on the East side; that he then left the Stadium; that he prepared his time card for that day and verified that he did put 2.5 hours of time spent at Taft; that there was several reasons for adding time on a job, to make up for lost time in filling out paper work, one job required more time than could be justified, and that he was at Taft most of the day and split the time he was at Taft between the two work orders; that the 2.5 hours he entered on his time card was to be the time he spent lighting the hot water tank when actually he only spent 35 minutes total; that when he left Taft

Stadium he did not go to the eye doctor, he went to breakfast at Barry's across the street; that he did take vacation during the first week of June, 1992 and took four or five days and two days around the 22nd; that he had no reason to dispute the vacation records maintained at the Service Center which show he essentially took two weeks off in June along with some sick leave; that he did not remember Mr. Lacey taking vacation time since he seldom sees him; that he did not remember if school was actually out or not when he returned from vacation; that after Mr. Lacey gave him the significant event reports he was assigned to work at the Service Center and not on-site; that he received a verbal reprimand in December, 1991 for not following through on a complaint regarding a gas leak at Spencer Elementary School; that he had a copy of the letter from his attorney requesting a postponement of the July 8 pre-disciplinary hearing; that he first took the letter to Personnel Services which they stamped, he received a copy of the stamped letter, then went to the Service Center and Mr. Lacey's office, he was not there, then took the letter to Ms. Alice Smith, secretary for the Maintenance department and asked her to notify Mr. Lacey and asked her to read the letter to make sure it was the same one she was receiving; that he did not take another letter to Mr. Lacey at a later date; that he did hear Mr. Lacey's testimony that he had given him a letter and denied doing it; that from the time he received the notice of the hearing (July 8) with the Significant Event Report form he did not talk with Mr. Lacey and request that the hearing be postponed; that he only delivered a copy of the letter; that he did not talk to Personnel Services regarding postponing the hearing; and that he heard the testimony of Mr. Lacey and Mr. Jackson as to the amount of time it would take to light a hot water heater following the proper safety procedures, but he said the burner would cycle off within 20 to 25 minutes at the very most.

Redirect Examination by Appellant's Attorney; Mr. Angel further questioned Mr. Kiper about the safety devices and their functions on the hot water tank at Taft Stadium, and about an incident at Spencer Elementary School. Mr. Kiper testified that after the Taft Stadium incident he spent the month of June "lighting-up kitchens and hot water heaters behind a crew that was testing gas lines in the schools." He was then assigned to the Service Center, but "about three or four weeks ago he was put back in the field working on a truck again."

Regarding the letter requesting a postponement of the pre-disciplinary hearing, Mr. Kiper testified he first went to Personnel Services and gave them a copy of the letter which they stamped. Personnel Services retained a copy and gave him a copy of the stamped letter; that he stressed to them he wanted the request to be called to the attention of the appropriate official. He then took another copy of the letter to Alice Smith, Maintenance department secretary, and asked her to sign his copy of the letter showing she had received the letter. He also asked her to read the letter so she would know what she was signing. He testified the stamp from Personnel Services had a time of 10:10 a.m. and then drove directly from the Administration Building to the Service Center which would take 20 to 30 minutes. Mr. Kiper said he was not contacted by Mr. Reed or Mr. Lacey between the time he delivered the letter and July 14. APPELLANT RESTED THEIR CASE.

CLOSING STATEMENT BY RESPONDENT'S ATTORNEY

Mrs. Peggy Cunningham said she would focus on the two things the Board would have to decide. The first, was the suspension for the incident at Stonegate Elementary School appropriate and the other, whether the recommendation for termination should be upheld.


MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 19, 1992

M-35 HEARING (CONTINUED) Regarding the incident at Stonegate, she said Mr. Kiper was a big man and could be intimidating to most adults, much less to children. The version related by Mr. Kiper differs from what the teacher, Ms. Parker, testified. Ms. Cunningham said the Board should consider the witnesses, their credibility, their reasons for testifying, and whether they have any particular motivation one way or the other. Regarding Ms. Parker, she said the teacher did not have anything to do with Mr. Kiper's job and was not trying to get his job, that Ms. Parker came down on her own time and testified as to what she heard; that the motivation for misrepresentation from Ms. Parker did not seem likely. That Mr. Kiper had been previously disciplined for the way he has talked to students and that he admitted he cursed at a teacher in the presence of students at Douglass High School and did receive a suspension. Again at Stonegate he used language with fourth grade students that was not appropriate and is appealing that discipline.

There had been a lot of talk about the possibilities of danger at Taft Stadium with the hot water tank, about what is steam, and what might have happened. Ms. Cunningham said the only way to know what might have happened is if Mr. Davis had not gone back to check the hot water tank. She said Mr. Davis is not a plumber and was not responsible for going back to check, but did so because he knew the stadium was going to be used that evening. That Mr. Davis had taken the right action in calling the Service Center to request a plumber be sent to light the hot water tank. That Mr. Davis expected a plumber who knew what he was doing, but instead Mr. Kiper came and lit the tank with only the water that was left in the tank after being winterized. Ms. Cunningham said the facts were undisputed that Mr. Kiper and his helper were at Taft only a very short period of time. That Mr. Thomas testified they were in the area only 10 minutes, and other plumbers testified that if a hot water tank is lit correctly, following the safety procedures, it takes a lot longer than 20 minutes, but that Mr. Kiper said he was there only 25 to 30 minutes. That Mr. Kiper testified the situation was not dangerous, but that the tank has a warning label saying not to light the tank unless it is full of water, and that most tanks have that kind of warning label. She said the administration believes that Mr. Kiper lit the tank without it being full of water and then he disregarded a warning label that was right in front of him and disregarded the training that he has received. Because of that disregard the recommendation for termination was made.

Ms. Cunningham talked about the Significant Event Reports not being delivered to Mr. Kiper until July 6, but that school was over at the end of May, Mr. Kiper was on vacation and off for sick leave, and Mr. Lacey was also on vacation in June. According to Mr. Lacey’s testimony he was investigating the incidents, talking to the witnesses, and should not be faulted for finding out everything that occurred before taking disciplinary action. The dates listed on the exhibits show that Mr. Lacey was receiving statements from the witnesses through the end of June, and reports were prepared during the beginning of July. Mr. Vern Moore testified that he did not inform Service Center personnel about negotiations, demands, and correspondence regarding Mr. Kiper's hearing for back wages. Ms. Cunningham said there was not a violation by Personnel Services on procedure for a hearing and requirements when a suspension is pending. That it is not a requirement for the employee to be present before disciplinary action is taken; that the employee has the opportunity to be present, and Mr. Kiper had been through the process before; that he claims he requested a postponement and delivered letters to secretaries; but did not talk to the personnel who had the authority to postpone the hearing; nor did he call to make sure the hearing had been postponed.

rhe suggestion had been made by the appellant's attorney that there was some kind of retaliation due to a back wages issue which is still â–Ąending. Ms. Cunningham said the issue on back wages is something to be settled separately and that it must be shown that the adverse personnel action was taken because of the protected activity; there must be a connection between the two. She asked how it could be connected since the personnel at the Service Center were not aware of the events taking place at the Administration Building. Ils. Cunningham asked after hearing the evidence, if the Board would feel comfortable putting one of their children in a classroom knowing that there was possibly a hot water tank on the other side of the wall that Hr. Kiper had taken care of. Also, she asked the Board if they felt the iistrict could afford to trust Mr. Kiper as an employee. She said that the Board's decision would send a message to other employees that it nzould be all right to make mistakes and disregard safety procedures because the Board would give the employees lots of chances. She said the proper message should be for employees to know that if they are going to work for the district they will be expected to do their job, do it properly and safely, and if they don't perform their jobs in a proper Banner action will be taken. She asked the Board to sustain the recommendation made by the administration. CLOSING STATEMENT BY APPELLANT'S ATTORNEY

Hr. Angel said due to the length of the hearing, it was difficult to remember all of the evidence. He said in spite of Ms. Cunningham talking about the other employees' testimony being taken into consideration, that Mr. Kiper is also one of the district employees and has been for ten years. In preparation for the hearing, Mr. Vern Moore testified that Mr. Reed researched Mr. Kiper's personnel file for supporting evidence and did not find a single prior incident of substandard performance, only issues of misconduct, some of which Mr. Kiper told about. Mr. Angel said he had only known Mr. Kiper for a few months, but was the type of individual "where his word is his bond and he does good work." He said that Mr. Kiper does get into trouble because of his size, because he reacts to situations improperly, and maybe that is what happened in the three day suspension, but no one has ever questioned his work.

Mr. Angel said with respect to both incidents and when you look at the undisputed evidence the Board should see there is not a basis for discipline. Regarding the Stonegate Elementary School incident, Mr. Angel said there was no question that Mr. Kiper was clearing a sink in the annex; no question that he was carrying hot water that could have burned the children; no question that Mr. Kiper first asked them to move; the question was whether Mr. Kiper then said "get out of the way, you fool;" that Mr. Kiper has not attempted to deny in any way the situation; that respondent's exhibit of the statements by the children said Mr. Kiper "was rude" and was "trying to be nice, should have been nicer;" that what was attempted in taking a minor incident and escalating it was an attempt to pull attention back to the settled three day suspension where profanity was used in the presence of a teacher and students, which was not appealed because Mr. Kiper admitted it was wrong; that the two situations are not related; that Ms. Cunningham in her closing argument tried to heighten the Board's fears by saying. What are you going to do if you keep somebody here?;" that she was trying to say the Board would be sued if Mr. Kiper remains employed; and that if Mr. Kiper had not expressed sternly and directly to the children to move out of the way and a child had bumped into the hot water and been burned the situation would be totally different and perhaps the his approach was called for.


MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 19, 1992

HEARING (CONTINUED) Concerning the May 24 incident, Mr. Angel said there was a number of things that are known: 1) That Mr. Kiper is charged with not turning on the cold water valve, and it is alleged that the tank could have blown up, ruptured, or caused an extremely dangerous situation. He said that is not the situation, the T&P valve was working which would relieve pressure. The mixer that allows hot and cold water to be mixed, if it was not working, was blocking all hot water. The thermostat was working because other people went back and looked to find a reason to discipline him. He said that the situation was compared to the Star School explosion in an attempt to scare the Board to impose unreasonable discipline. 2) He further said that the pipes outside the building were being replaced which creates air in the lines; that the people who replaced the pipes bled them to the lowest point in one area, but did not bleed all the lines, so air did exist in the lines. 3) that when Mr. Davis turned on the shower heads "something came out." Steam was impossible because of the safety precautions, that it was "mist of some form" and that the only way a mist can come out with the T&P valve working is if there is water present; that Mr. Davis said he then went back to the hot water tank and turned the valve, heard water come in and it started shaking; Mr. Angel suggested that what Mr. Davis heard was an air-lock going through the lines and that was what scared him; that Mr. Davis then left and came back in 2 or 3 hours and opened the valve the rest of the way; Mr. Angel said that maybe Mr. Davis turned the valve the wrong way because the incident occurred on Friday and on the following Monday when employees went in to look the valve was cut off; that Mr. Kiper had not been back to the area and if the line was cut off that perhaps it was Mr. Davis who became "somewhat rattled" and turned the valve the wrong way. 4) that there was testimony by Mr. Jackson that the way to check cold water flow is to pop the T&P valve and then bleed the system; that Mr. Kiper testified that he popped the T&P valve and got pressure, lit the tank, and then left. Mr. Kiper was honest and said he did not bleed the system. The issue of bleeding the system was not what he was called upon to do, he was called to light the tank. Mr. Angel said it is significant how the picture has been painted as it is with the absence of evidence of any wrong doing; that when they went to Taft Stadium to develop evidence, all they could gather was that the valve would not let hot water through; that it would not explode, burn or scald anyone; but they had hoped the Board, as lay people, upon hearing the evidence with the analogies that the tank was like your car, if it overheats and you don't put water in it, it is going to blow up; the respondent's knew that analogy did not apply, but they wanted to mislead and scare the Board.

Upon the issue of retaliation, Mr. Angel said the significance and factual sequence was that the incidents occurred in May, 1992. Nothing happened. Mr. Kiper served a letter from his attorney and himself to Mr. Moore and others attempting to put an end to the issue of reinstatement of his position. Immediately thereafter, he is served with two (2) notices that could have easily been given to Mr. Kiper earlier. The Respondent's have talked about people being on vacation, but Mr. Lacey said the only reason he did not get the reports to Mr. Kiper was that he was too busy, but that evidence showed Mr. Lacey knew the facts of these incidents on the day they occurred. That on the day of the incident at Stonegate Elementary School, Mr. Lacey had someone there that day soliciting statements. Mr. Art Bode testified they had all gotten together before the incident report was drafted and talked about what they wanted to do, and then imposed discipline that clearly overreacts to the situation; that their defense was that they did not know what was going on, but that Mr. Lacey testified that he knew generally that there was something going on; Mr. Kiper also testified that he had kept Mr. Lacey apprised. One of the issues involved is the reinstatement to a supervisory position that Mr. Lacey now holds in part, and to believe this would not have some significant impact on Mr. Lacey strains credulity.

flr. Angel said with respect to the nature of the claim, the Board should think about what has happened. That on one hand the administration needs to have discipline and on the other employees need to be free from arbitrary or undeserved discipline. He said the situation has been taken and blown out of proportion, but the fact is the administration ioes not have evidence that Mr. Kiper did not turn on the water, but the evidence is to the contrary.

Regarding the issue of delivering the letters to Mr. Lacey and the Service Center, Mr. Angel said it is significant for two reasons. 1) that is a fair hearing was going to be conducted, if the respondents had leard the things that has been heard during this hearing, would they lave proceeded with discipline and; 2) Mr. Lacey was cross-examined several times and repeatedly denied he had received notice. Only after leing shown an item that was signed by his office did he say "well, he ladn't personally received that letter until Mr. Kiper brought it in;" that Mr. Lacey would have the Board believe that the secretaries from lis office and Mr. Reed’s office just hid the letter. From that point intil July 14 there was not a barrier to the hearing being rescheduled, lut it was not rescheduled because their minds were already set. According to the respondent, Mr. Kiper had missed his timeframe. Hr. Angel urged the Board not to fall victim to being persuaded with 'what-ifs" and "maybes," but the facts remain the events could not have lappened the way the administration presented the evidence. 4rs. Laurie Jones, Hearing Officer, called for the proposed findings of Eact from both the respondent and appellant for the Board to consider luring executive session. She said the hearing has been both a postsuspension and a pre-termination hearing. Testimony has been heard and svidence delivered regarding past employment disputes and past employment actions regarding Mr. Kiper. She noted that this testimony vas offered and received into evidence solely to provide a predicate and listorical perspective as to what has occurred, but the Board is not to iecide the merits or propriety of those actions and that those issues A/ill remain separate and apart regardless of the action the Board takes today.

BUSINESS

Lease; Garfield Elementary School to Golden Gloves Old Timers Boxing Association Consideration of an agreement to lease Garfield Elementary School, SW 41 and Drexel, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to the Golden Gloves Old Timers Boxing Association.

Lease; Riverside Elementary School To Latino Community Development Agency Consideration of an agreement to lease Riverside Elementary School, 421 S.W. 11, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to the Latino Community Development Agency.

DISCUSSION

Mr.

Peak expressed concern that the Board just received an interpretation from legal counsel regarding the Garfield building. He said he felt the issue should have been addressed when the Golden Gloves first approached the Board to use the building. He further expressed concern about not having guidelines completed for free use of school property by qualifying organizations.

When asked about the status of the Garfield building, Mr. Art Bode, Administrator, Service Center Operations, responded that the Garfield building has been used as a storage building and that it did contain asbestos. Mr. Bode talked about the district's long-term liability in leasing a building containing asbestos with an "as is" lease. He said a "hold harmless" clause, in his opinion, would not be binding and until the friable asbestos is removed he would recommend withholding the lease of the building.

Discussion continued on various district available with asbestos free areas.

BOARD MEMBERS'

COMMENTS

Mrs. Kay Floyd commended the staff at John Marshall High School on their open house activities.

Mr. Jim Randall commended the high school football teams for their efforts. On another matter, he talked about some of the changes, at the national level, discussed at a policy conference he attended during October in Washington, D.C.. One being the privatization of school boards and the other was the need for consistent communication with elected officials above the school board level. He called for a meeting to be scheduled to discuss the office of superintendent no later than November 11, 1992.

Mr. Wayne Dempsey commented about his experiences at the district's Open House activities. He also thanked staff at all levels for the helpful way they are providing information to the Board. He said he hoped a bond issue for improving district buildings will be presented to the public in the near future. Mr. Orel Peak commented about the decision of the Board to eliminate testing for kindergarten and transition first grades. Based upon the number of calls he has received, there appears to be some lag time between the action of the Board and the action of the administration. He said some principals have told their teachers they should continue preparation for testing until they are properly notified. He suggested giving teachers information about the Board action so that they might have more time for instructional purposes.

Mrs. Thelma R. Parks said that she attended the Oklahoma State School Boards Association's District 6 meeting where they discussed the State questions that will be voted on tomorrow (11/3/92). She encouraged Board members to carefully read the four questions before voting. Mrs. Parks also commented regarding the Moon Middle School Open House saying she was pleased with the attendance and congratulated the staff. She also commented that the Moon Middle School choir needed robes.

The Commission will review all applications qtate-wide and either approve or disapprove the applications.

COMMENTS

flr. Art Bode, Director, Operations Management, reported the area of approximately 8100 square feet the Golden Gloves Old Timers Association vas wanting to use at Garfield Elementary School had an asbestos problem /7hich would require $15,000 to $20,000 of removal or abatement actions. 3e said other renovation requirements of the roof, floor tile, slectrical, and plumbing would cost an additional $70,000 bringing the estimated contracted price to $90,000. As an alternative to Garfield, Mr. Bode and Mr. Langley investigated the 7an Buren Elementary School. They agreed on using only the metal Duilding located on the West side of Van Buren School, which contains 9200 square feet, is asbestos free, and needed only minimal electric ($500), roof ($1500), and plumbing ($2000) work. For the Latino Community Development Agency to use Riverside Elementary School, approximately $4,000 in asbestos work would be required, including a small amount of work in the boiler room, and also a small amount of pipe wrapping. This has been discussed with Mr. Larry Medina of the Agency, and Mr. Medina indicated the Agency could accommodate the expense.

Mr. Larry Medina, representing the Latino Community Development Agency, said they were prepared to enter into a lease/purchase agreement for the approximate market valve of the Riverside property. He said the Agency obtained an estimate to bring the property up to standards and received cost of $750,000. Mr. Medina said the Agency has a community block development grant in the amount of $150,000 to be used primarily in the renovation of the building. He said he would like to propose an agreement to defer cost until the building is in condition to produce income through rents and then begin payments. He said a requirement of the grant is to make the facility available to the neighborhood, community, other minorities, and low income community members. In closing, Mr. Medina commented that if the district feels it needs more time to satisfy questions and concerns about the Agency's activities, he would be agreeable for a delay.

RIVE3RSIDE EEEM. SCHOOL: LATINO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMEarr agency DISCUSSION TO BE HELD 12/21/92

Mr. Peak asked about the relationship between Mr. Medina's organization and Mr. Jose Sanchez of the Hispanic parents group and whether there were numerous Latino development groups. Mr. Medina responded there were many Hispanic groups, but only one Agency, and that Mr. Sanchez has served on their board in the past. Mr. Peak said his concerns were with the representation of the various groups and he felt it would be beneficial, at a later meeting, to have all interested groups discuss their concerns before the Board enters into a commitment. BY CONSENSUS, THE BOARD AGREED TO ADDRESS THE LATINO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY REQUEST (CONSIDERATION OF AN AGREEMENT TO LEASE RIVERSIDE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, 421 S.W. 11, OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA) AT THE DECEMBER 21, 1992, BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING.

Mr. Dale Langley, Golden Gloves Old Timers Boxing Association, thanked the Board and administration for their excellent cooperation with his organization. Mrs. Parks asked Mr. Bode about his recommendation. Mr. Bode said a properly signed lease agreement will be required, with the details to be worked out, but his recommendation would be that the Van Buren site was the most appropriate.

BOARD COMMENTS Mrs. Kay Floyd requested reiteration of the lease agreement for the Van Buren facility. Mr. Bode said it was his understanding that the lease would be at no-cost with the Golden Gloves being responsible for upkeep and upgrading the facility.

Mrs. Floyd further inquired about the request for a Board policy to address the issue of leasing a building outside the requirements of the existing Board policy. She expressed concern over the impact this type of decision would have on the leases of other district property. Mr. Orel Peak said he felt there was a definite value for the youth of the district to be able to compete in athletic competition or human development, and to have an opportunity to achieve. Mr. Frank Kellert said he was in support of the motion, but as a part of the process, a mechanism should be in place whereby this kind of decision can be made within policy. He asked Dr. Betty Mason to bring to the Board guidelines for this policy.

Dr. Betty Mason, Acting Superintendent, responded she had reviewed this concern in today's Cabinet meeting. Staff has been assigned to comply with the request and the Board could expect to receive information early next week. Mrs. Floyd said she had a problem with going ahead in making a decision outside of Board policy, although she supported Mr. Langley’s efforts. Mrs. Parks asked when the last time the Van Buren building was leased, and Mr. Hise responded the building had not been leased since it was closed.

flr. Randall said he had talked with people who lead various community agencies and a movement in urban districts throughout the country was for collaborative efforts of agencies, social service groups, social workers, health care facilities, etc., to address the whole needs of a ::ommunity. He said this was an opportunity to address another aspect of the whole need and place district children in quality activities and nove toward involving the district with the total community. «EW

DISCUSSION 1.

Outcome-Based Education Presented by: Division B

OUTCOME-BASED EDOCATICW

Dr. Hawthorne Faison, Elementary Director,

DISCDSSICN

Dr. Faison explained that outcome-based education is to decide what is most essential for the students to know, be able to do, and be like in order to be successful after graduation. Dr. Faison introduced the presenters and their topics which included:

Patricia Meeks, Defining Outcome-Based Education Barbara Burns, State Accreditation Standards and Regulations Dr. Barbara Schindler, District Vision Marionette Gibson, Mastery Learning Ms. Meeks described three questions which when answered define outcome-

based education. 1) What knowledge and skills should students know?; 2) what should students produce to show that they have learned?; and 3) what moral or ethical values are necessary for students to succeed in the 21st century?

Ms. Burns talked about the State mandated learner outcomes requirement

to be effective during the 1993-94 school year and said the states that have outcome-based education show larger gains in student achievement, teacher instruction, and positive attitudes for both teachers and students. She said the curriculum and instruction standards are in four sections: 1) curriculum, 2) instruction, 3) assessment, and 4) climate.

Dr. Schindler said the district's vision using outcome-based education involves three components: 1) organizational focus; and 3) instructional delivery system.

M-4 DISCUSSION (CONTINUED)

Ms. Gibson talked about the steps involved in outcome-based education and presented an example of mastery learning.

Dr.

Faison, in closing, purposed the following objectives for the future: 1) create a knowledge base about outcome-based education among all personnel in the district; 2) create a strategic vision involving the Board, superintendent, and community; 3) develop a five year design process; and 4) maintain the foundation that has already been created.

Mr.

Caston talked about the components of the long-range planning process. He said they began the study in February, 1992, and completed the first component in May. During that time several meetings were held with the Planning, Research, and Evaluation department staff and a checklist was generated and distributed to the building principals for each of the 85 facilities. Mr. Caston said the checklist was compiled by the district's public relations staff, and the data was compiled by the district PRE staff.

Mr. Caston said by the terms of the contract they were not allowed to

work on the summary after July unless there was mutual agreement from both parties.

COMMENTS

Mr. Orel Peak asked Mr. Caston about the cost of Phase I.

Mr. Caston

replied that the total cost of Phase I was $48,500 and their firm had been paid $12,925 to-date. He said the scope of services for Phases II through IV have not been written and the price will be based upon man hours needed for the project.

Mr. Peak asked if the report that was just received represented all of Phase I. Mr. Caston said no, that this report was only a summation of

the checklist distributed in May. He said Phase I will include the Benham Group working with Mr. Art Bode, Director, Operations Management, to formulate the physical characteristics of each school. After receipt of that information it will be combined with the checklist information, and compiled into a final report that documents the physical and operational characteristics of each facility. Mr. Caston said the process had moved a lot slower than he had anticipated.

MINUTES OF THE DISCUSSION MEETING NOVEMBER 16, 1992

H-5 DISCUSSION (CONTINUED)

Mr. Wayne Dempsey said the Benham Group to-date has performed their

function exactly as instructed by staff. He said for the record, "I am concerned first and foremost because I heard Mr. Caston say that this district approached the Benham Group. As an elected representative of taxpayers, I am tired of us approaching vendors and not putting out specs, taking competitive bids, and getting the best the market has to offer for the taxpayers of Oklahoma City. It seems like over and over we do this. We make deals and don’t bother to take bids on what we’re doing. We’re not competitive. I know the Benham Group has an excellent reputation, and has been working for years. But a little competitiveness on the part of the staff in terms of identifying an A&E firm that could do this kind of work, may have very well put us in a better position. As we all know, we have some crucial decisions to make in the next few months in terms of placing students in buildings next year. Here we are with a survey that could have been done by the staff in-house. We could have saved the taxpayers money on that. I also believe that if we had developed a bid spec and allowed the Benham Group or any other A&E firm in this town to bid on it, a lot of this study would have been accomplished by now and we’d have some idea of where we are and where we need to go. I know that there are firms out here with the technical competency to do it. I just hope that this Board will not allow, in the future, any more of these situations where we spend taxpayers dollars without even thinking about competition and competitive bidding."

Mrs. Kay Floyd said the question is how do we proceed from here, and get

the information the Board needs to move the Fifth Grade Centers back into the elementary schools. She said she hoped the Board would take some action to move forward on the Fifth Grade Center issue.

Dr. George Kimball said that the contract was written in such a way that the wishes of the Board could be accommodated. If the Board wants, the study can be directed toward moving the Fifth Grade Centers back into the elementary schools and that could be the focus of finishing Phase I.

Mr. Wayne Deiupsey asked Dr. Kimball how long it would take to develop

specifications on facility utilization to be let for competitive bidding on the Fifth Grade Center issue. Dr. Kimball said approximately two to three weeks.

Mr. Jim Randall asked about the original purpose for contracting with the Benham Group. Dr. Kimball said, it was his understanding, that the Benham Group was to assist the district in areas of expertise that district personnel did not possess and provide the manpower in those areas if necessary.

Mr. Leo Hise talked about the initial stages of contracting with the

Benham Group. He said other firms had been researched. The original project was to be a "feasibility and building study and include other objectives outlined at that time." The purpose of the agenda item at this point was to decide whether the encumbrance should be renewed for the current fiscal year.

Mr. Jim Randall commented that it was his hope that Phase I would be more comprehensive study.

Following discussion about the fact that some schools did not return their survey, Mrs. Thelma R. Parks directed Dr. Mason to have those schools return their survey to Dr. Kimball, so the study can be completed.

ISCUSSION (CONTINUED)

Dr. Betty Mason said that staff is working on a preliminary report on the relocation of students in the Fifth Grade Centers and Board members will be receiving a memorandum in this week's Board packet requesting a person be appointed from each district to serve on an advisory oversee committee. She said that parental involvement is needed so parents can see the scope of the task and be allowed to give input and make suggestions regarding the realignment.

Mrs. Kay Floyd asked that the Benham Group study be placed on a later agenda to continue utilization of their services.

SPECIAL

BUSINESS

The purpose of the meeting was to have a discussion with Board Members of Metro Tech Vocational-Technical School District #22 and Judge Tom Smith regarding Oklahoma City Area Vocational-Technical School District #22 V. Independent School District No. 1-89, D.C. Oklahoma Case No. CJ89-4759.

Judge Tom Smith welcomed both Boards and said the court appreciated the Board members attendance and their spirit of cooperation. Judge Smith said that the court was not going to make a decision tonight and that the purpose of having both Boards meet was to report the status of the case and inform the Boards of what they have to consider. Judge Smith gave a brief overview of the history of the lawsuit noting that the suit was filed 3 years prior, and went to trial on August 3, 1992. The trial continued until August 11.

He said if the court renders a decision, it would be a final judgement unless the suit is appealed. A concern of the court according to Judge Smith is the enormous financial expense to both districts. He also said if the Boards could reach an acceptable recommendation the court would consider the appropriateness based on all of the facts and evidence involved. Judge Smith noted that this meeting does not indicate a ruling of the court and that the meeting is only an informal meeting between both parties.

Following his comments Judge Smith excused himself.

EXECUTIVE

SESSION

Prior to going into executive session, the Boards of both districts discussed whether to go into joint executive session or separate executive sessions. The Board (Independent School District #89) decided to meet by itself because of the wording on its agenda.

Mrs. Kay Floyd said she felt it was a conflict of interest for Mr. Jim Randall, Board member, and Mr. John McCormick, deputy general counsel for the school district, to be in the executive session because of each person's prior service on the Metro Tech Board. Mr. McCormick did not go into executive session. Besides the Board members, Cleeta John Rogers, general counsel for the Board, Laurie Jones, district counsel, and Tammy Carter, associate general counsel, were in attendance at the executive session.

MOTION CARRIED 7-0. REINVEST IN AMERICA A New Priorities Proclamation

We, the Board of Education of Oklahoma City in the state of Oklahoma, do hereby adopt the following resolution in support of new national federal budget priorities for the United States of America. Whereas the Oklahoma City Public School District is committed to offering every child in our community the opportunity for a quality education; and. Whereas our nation's success in the post-Cold War world will depend on the ability of America's public schools to educate each and every child; and.

Whereas no single school district has the financial capacity to both build a quality education program for the 21st Century and overcome the social and economic problems that prevent students from oming to school ready to learn; and.


MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING DECEMBER 7, 1992

tt-5 BOARD MEMBERS' BUSINESS/COMMENTS (CONTINUED)

Whereas our competitors in the global marketplace invest more tax dollars in children and elementary and secondary education than does the United States; and. Whereas federal budget savings made possible by the end of the Cold War could be used to rebuild America and ensure that every child comes to school healthy and ready to learn: and.

Whereas the national organizations that represent the men and women at the local level who care most deeply about education -- the National School Boards Association, the National PTA, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the American Association of School Administrators, the Council of Great City Schools, the National Education Association, and the American Federation of Teachers — have jointly called for new federal budget priorities that reflect post-Cold War realities; and. Therefore, be it resolved, that the Oklahoma City Public School District believes it is time to reinvest in America. We join school districts across the United States to urge the Congress and PresidentElect Bill Clinton to make reordering federal spending priorities 7\merica's top priority in 1993. And be it further resolved, that the Board of Education of Oklahoma City will forward this call for new priorities to our community's elected representatives in Congress and to the President of the United States.

And be it further resolved, that the Board of Education of the Oklahoma City Public Schools will also forward this resolution to the Oklahoma City Council and the Oklahoma Legislature and urge them to join this call to reinvest in America. CITIZEN S'

Recommended revisions to policy F-12: SALE OR LEASE OF DISTRICT PROPERTIES as shown on the following pages.

Mr. Mason said she had reassigned some staff and responsibilities. Mr. Darrel Shepard, Board Clerk, has been given the responsibility for handing district facilities since this requires Board approval and is a Board function. Mrs. Kay Floyd said in her opinion, she thought it was inappropriate to assign this responsibility as a Board Clerk function. She said assignment to the Executive Assistant to the Superintendent would be more logical according to policy. Mr. Leo Hise said that because the policy had been amended since the first reading, he felt the policy should be brought back at the next Board meeting for approval. By consensus of the Board, Mrs. Thelma R. Parks said that Board Policy F-12: SALE OR LEASE OF DISTRICT PROPERTIES will be included in the agenda of the next Board meeting for approval.

Support legislation that will provide the state funds or other new funds required to make the Oklahoma Teachers' Retirement System actuarially sound and reduce the burden for funding OTRS imposed upon school districts during the last legislative session.

Support legislation that will provide new sources of state and/or local revenue for the support of public schools.

Various items the legislators are discussing to increase funding includes the "triple option" bill, the lottery, and a bill that will allow voters to approve additional mills for the support of local school districts.

Support efforts to enhance and protect the local funding base including a resolution to require school ad valorem mills be used solely for the support of public schools.

That lottery revenue should not be solely earmarked for schools. A more prudent approach would be to allow the revenue to go to a general revenue fund with an understanding that some of the revenue would come to education or that a percentage be earmarked for education.

Whether a school district should actively support a lottery because of the moral and religious values involved is a question to be answered.

Mr. Wayne Dempsey noted it is probably a worthwhile venture, but said he lad some reservations about deferred payments, although he felt it could be worked out. He expressed concern that a situation may exist in our planning for returning Fifth Grade Centers to elementary schools where classrooms are staffed at too high of a ration (29-1). Before proceeding with an agreement, he said we should make sure the facility /izas not needed as a school when the Fifth Grade Centers are closed. Mr. Leo Hise stated he just became aware of the problem with finding space for the Fifth Grade students.

MINUTES OF THE DISCUSSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 21, 1992

M-9 UNFINISHED BUSINESS (CONTINUED) Mr. Frank Kellert said the Board should find a way to express its intent to work out an agreement if the Riverside Elementary School is not needed for district purposes. He said the matter should not be left undecided. Mr. Jim Randall said he supported the concept and the Latino community efforts to obtain funds, but noted that the Board also has an obligation to the students. Mrs. Kay Floyd commended Ms. Fennell and Mr. Medina on their presentation. She asked for a more specific time to bring the item back to the Board. Mr. Wayne Dempsey said he wanted the Latino Community Development Agency to understand that he does support their efforts and unless the building is needed for district purposes, he fully supported their request.

Mr. Leo Hise said he fully supported the Latino Community efforts and was not trying to delay action, but the educational priorities of the district must be decided first. Mr. Orel Peak suggested encouraging continued development on the part of the Latino Community subject to the report on the Fifth Grade Centers. Mrs. Thelma R. Parks said that every member of the Board was in accord with the plan of the Latino Community. In order to make a decision that would be in the best interest of everyone she requested the Board's indulgence in allowing the report for the Fifth Grade Centers to be brought back to the Board before proceeding with making a decision regarding the Latino Community Development Agency's request.

Mr. Frank Kellert suggested January 25, 1993, as a special Board meeting date to discuss the Latino Community Development Agency's request, if the Fifth Grade Center Task Force states that Riverside Elementary School will not be needed for district usage.

MEMBERS'

BUSINESS/COMMENTS

Mr. Frank Kellert talked about the new problems caused by returning the fifth grade students to elementary buildings. As the district looks at those problems, he suggested consideration be given to looking at the feasibility of converting Classen Fifth Grade Center back to a high school and transforming Northeast High School into a large elementary school. He also,suggested including a community impact study on closing a small number of surrounding schools in the report. On another issue Mr. Kellert said he would like to see the development of a formal way of addressing the issues of equity and a way to give a purpose and charge to the equity committee that is unrelated to pending litigation. Mr. Orel Peak suggested looking at a more comprehensive type of organizational plan to identify four high schools with mid-high and junior high feeders in an effort to improve academic and athletic endeavors. Mrs. Thelma R. Parks said all of these ideas should be considered along with other requests including air conditioning, renovation, and repair of the buildings.
