Diane Blevins Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Proceedings of the Board of Trustees District No. 2, Yellowstone County High School District No. 2, Yellowstone County Billings, Montana June 21, 2010 CALL TO ORDER The Regular Board Meeting of the Board of Trustees of School District No. 2, Yellowstone County, Montana, and High School District, Yellowstone County, Montana, was duly held at The Lincoln Center, 415 North 30th Street, Billings, Montana, June 1, 2010, at 5:45 p.m. Members present included Trustees Joel Guthals, Connie Wardell, Barbara Bryan, Travis Kemp, Joyce Weber, Teresa Stroebe, Mary Jo Fox, Superintendent Jack Copps, and District Clerk Leo Hudetz. Trustees Graves and Aragon were excused. Registered guests included Bev McHugh, Ginny Mermel, James Schrage, Rodney Garcia, Brandon Kieson, A. Hutchings, Eric Forseth, Marian Leligdowicz, Victoria Bliss, Niki Serafin, Quinn Hardy, Sandra Abraham, and David Otey. COMMUNICATION FROM THE PUBLIC The Board recognizes the value of public comment on educational issues and the importance of listening to members of the public in its meetings. The Board also recognizes the statutory and constitutional right of the public to participate in governmental operations. The Board encourages members of the public to participate in and express opinions about issues important to the District. This part of the Boards meeting is dedicated to public comment on any public matter that is not on the agenda of this meeting and is within the jurisdiction of the Board of Trustees. Members of the public may also address particular items on this agenda either now or at the time the Board considers the particular item. Kevin Nelson addressed the Board regarding tax increment districts. Mr. Nelson did not believe the city has the power to direct funds away from the school district. He cited that other states, such as Oregon, are fighting the tax increment districts to gain back the revenue for school districts. He urged the Board to review the matter in order to gain revenue. Rodney Garcia addressed the issue of the residency for Trustee Fox. He said the law states that a Trustee must reside in the district that he/she represents. Mr. Garcia felt she should resign as it could be a liability issue if she votes on a controversial issue. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Trustee Guthals made the following motion with a second by Trustee Weber: Motion to approve the agenda as presented. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Joel Guthals, Travis Kemp, Teresa Stroebe, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously. RECOGNITION AND GIFTS AND DONATIONS Gail Surwill, Curriculum Director, presented Courtney Niemeyer as a state finalist for the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching Program. Trustee Guthals made the following motion with a second by Trustee Weber: Motion to approve the gifts and donations with gratitude. Trustee Guthals stated the District could not make it without these generous gifts and donations. Superintendent Copps echoed Trustee Guthals and further thanked the Sample family for their donation for the Orchard school grounds. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Joel Guthals, Travis Kemp, Teresa Stroebe, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously.

He stated the toastmasters are honoring Mr. Copps as a consistent and concise speaker. The Board presented Superintendent Copps with a token of their appreciation for his service to this District. Trustee Fox felt this District was blessed to hire Jack as he has the trust and respect of the staff and members of the community. Superintendent Copps offered his support in any way possible to the Board and community after his retirement from the District. SCHOOLS HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCILS (SHAC) PRESENTATION TO THE BOARD Dr. Virginia Mermel and Beverly McHugh addressed the Board to discuss the wellness program. Ms. McHugh reported, by law, districts must have a wellness policy in order to receive federal funds for free and reduced meals. The goal of SHAC is to modify healthy behaviors. Children who eat better get better testing scores. SHAC initiated a school backpack program in order to help those students who do not receive enough food or healthy food at home. The committee did not feel their work was moving forward enough and addressed areas of improvement to help schools to work with their program. SHAC is hoping to work with the District to problem solve and have more administrative participation on their committee. Ms. McHugh did not feel the policy had been shared with the schools and requested help from the Board and help for a healthy school environment. She further stated she would report to the Board on an annual basis. Dr. Mermel stated that Sodexo Food Service has worked with SHAC in the wellness policy. There are 520 children who were fed each week in the backpack program. This school district could receive $.06 per meal for the practice for the wellness policy. Dr. Mermel felt the District needs to work better with the principals and staff at the schools to fulfill the goal of SHAC. It was felt that there is a lack of knowledge at the schools of the wellness policy. DISCUSSION OF SODEHO CONTRACT Thomas Harper, Central Financial Officer, reported a bid went out a few months ago for the food service program. The only bid received was reviewed by the Budgeting for Results (BFR) Committee. A contract is being drafted by the Districts legal counsel for Sodexo. CHARTER TRIP BUS TRANSPORTATION BID (ACTIVITIES) Eric Forseth, Rimrock Stages, stated he has been with Rimrock for over twenty years and felt the company has grown with the District. The company has provided charter service for activities. Rimrock is in the process of upgrading their fleet and paying their debt due, in part, to the Stillwater Mining Companys closing of one of the mines. Brandon Keeson, Coach America, stated his company has a high safety record and has received the highest standard from the Department of Transportation. Coach America has continuous education for all of their drivers and is financially stable. Mr. Harper reported a request for bid was sent out and two responses were received, Rimrock Stages and Coach America. The bids were reviewed by administrators and a survey of school administrators was conducted. Rimrock Stages has had to subcontract and that is where problems have sometimes occurred. The difference in the two bids was approximately $1700 but the Budgeting for Results Committee is recommending Rimrock Stages. Trustee Guthals stated the bus companies carry $5,000,000 in insurance and asked Mr. Harper if an analysis had been done if more coverage is needed. The response was there could be more coverage but it would cost the companies. Trustee Guthals voiced his concern, if an accident were to occur, $5,000,000 would not go far. Trustee Fox made the following motion with a second by Trustee Wardell: Motion to award the bid to Rimrock stages with a stipulation stating that it subcontract Sarpy Transportation as its last alternative. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Joel Guthals, Travis Kemp, Teresa Stroebe, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously. MONTANA DIGITAL ACADEMY Victoria Bliss, a Senior High student, addressed the Board regarding the Digital Academy for Montana. She reported she has received a prestigious scholarship to study in Germany for one year. The Montana Digital Academy would allow her to be able to receive her remaining credits in order to graduate at no additional cost. Ms. Bliss asked the Board to approve the Montana Digital Academy agreement as it poses no financial burden to the District. Niki Serafin, Victorias mother, also addressed the Board regarding the Montana Digital Academy. She discovered the academy does not need to have a contract in place with the District. Superintendent Copps stated, in order for the Montana Digital Academy to participate with the District, we must have a memorandum of understanding (MOU) from the academy. The contract called for the District to supervise the teachers which would be impossible as they are teaching from their homes on a 24/7 basis. That clause has been removed from the memorandum of understanding. The Montana Digital Academy will compensate the teachers and the teachers would not be subject to the master labor agreement during that time the class is being offered. The teacher will be compensated through a salary matrix. Trustee Wardell asked if the District would receive the ANB revenue for each student. The student must be enrolled in the District in order to participate in the academy and receive ANB. Superintendent Copps reported the Board has the ability to waive the graduation requirements within the school district which could allow students a high school diploma to nontraditional students. Trustee Guthals made the following with a second by Trustee Fox: Motion to approve the Memorandum of Understanding regarding online course work and the Montana Digital Academy between the BEA and Billings Public Schools, and approve the teacher compensation plan interlocal agreement (as provided in the Board packet) between Montana Digital Academy and Billings High School District No. 2, Yellowstone County. Trustee Wardell thanked Wanda Grinde, a Montana legislator and educator, for her work on the Montana Digital Academy. Superintendent Copps reported the classes are online and all of the online classes are recognized by the Montana Office of Public Instruction. All classes are being taught by Montana certified teachers who are teaching in a Montana school district and receive training when hired. The District serves as the financial office to pay the teachers and is reimbursed by the academy. There are no state dollars committed past the first year, so the District will have a one year MOU. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Joel Guthals, Travis Kemp, Teresa Stroebe, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously. GENERAL FUND BUDGET SCENARIOS FY2010-11 AND FY2011-12 Thomas Harper reviewed the financial numbers as included in the Board packet. All of the remaining one-time-only federal money will be used in the 2010-11 budget year which would result in a surplus in the elementary district. Part of the surplus could be moved to reserves which would make an excess, above state law in the reserve account. This would help offset the shortfall in 2011-12 and the excess would reduce what the taxpayers pay the following year. Trustee Guthals reported the BFR Committee discussed the budgets but did not realize there might be an excess in reserves. He felt saving money in the flex fund was not a good idea. Superintendent Copps stated the BFR budget reduction recommendations, as found in the packet, were made in December before the Yes For Kids campaign began for the mill levy. He did not believe the current budget situation is as catastrophic as some people feel. In K-6, the District is in better shape than other school districts in the State due to an additional 310 students this past year. Trustee Weber asked if administration was confident that the increased enrollments would hold? Superintendent Copps reported the numbers held but it was not known if there would be an other increase in enrollment. Trustee Wardell felt the public wanted the money from the mill levy to go to facilities and not in more staffing. Mr. Copps stated that Bruce MacIntyre never spoke of putting $1,900,000 into deferred maintenance when speaking to the public for Yes For Kids. Marian Leligdowicz, Montana Public Employees Association (MPEA) President, addressed the issue of cutting 12.725 FTE of housekeeping staff. He urged the Board to keep those employees as keeping the buildings clean is important. Kevin Croff, Meadowlark principal, stated putting staff in front of children is better for at-risk students in the Fast Track program. He urged the District not to cut the Fast Track Program. From his perspective, the coaches are very valuable to the success of the students. Also, custodians do far more than the normal duties in his school and is the second most trusted person in the school, the secretary being the first. Housekeepers are always taking care of things and are constantly with the students. Trustee Fox stated, in December, Superintendent Copps said the cuts would not touch the children in the classroom. She felt the Board needed to show the community that we are making the tough decisions for the 2012 school year. Trustee Fox made the following motion which died due to a lack of a second: Motion to put back in the housekeepers and go forward with the other cuts as recommended by BFR. Any money over 10%, the Board should consider deferred maintenance costs. Trustee Wardell made the following motion with a second by Trustee Fox: Move that the Board make the cuts as recommended by BFR. Trustee Guthals stated that the District has a non-sustainable financial situation in this District. Dan Martin, Human Resources Director, reported, if the Board were to tell the people listed on the recommended cuts they would have a job, then find out they would not, it would be catastrophic and would affect hiring for years to come. He did not know if it was legal. Trustee Wardell made the following substitute motion with a second by Trustee Weber: Motion to send the recommendations back to BFR for clarification. Chair Bryan did not think another motion could be made until the motion on the floor had been withdrawn. She suggested, since there was a bond issue discussion on the agenda, the meeting continue on Tuesday evening. She also recommended Items J and K be discussed tomorrow evening and the rest of the agenda taken care of tonight. Trustee Wardell withdrew her motion and Trustee Weber withdrew her second. Trustee Wardell made the following motion with a second by Trustee Fox: Motion to table the original motion. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Joel Guthals, Travis Kemp, Teresa Stroebe, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously. Trustee Wardell made the following motion with a second by Trustee Weber: Motion to postpone items J, K and R until Tuesday, June 22nd. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Joel Guthals, Travis Kemp, Teresa Stroebe, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously. NEW TRUSTEE COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS Trustee Guthals made the following motion with a second by Trustee Weber: Motion to approve trustee committee assignments as follows: Lindy Graves, Calendar Committee; Travis Kemp, Planning and Development Committee; Connie Wardell, Budgeting for Results Committee. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Joel Guthals, Travis Kemp, Teresa Stroebe, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously. REPORT ON JUNE TRAINING -- MTSBA; AA CAUCUS UPDATE Chair Bryan reported the training information was included in the Board packet and urged the members to review the material. SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT Superintendent Copps reported the damage to Skyviews roof from the tornado is approximately $1,400,000. A greenhouse was lost at the Career Center and possibly the old gym floor at Senior High. BILLS PAID -- MAY 2010 The bills paid for May 2010 have been reviewed by the BFR Committee. Trustee Guthals made the following motion with a second by Trustee Fox: Motion to approve the bills paid for May 2010. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Joel Guthals, Travis Kemp, Teresa Stroebe, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously. The following are the bills paid for May 2010: Claims $2,439,558.90 ACH Tax Deposits 1,732,546.55 Payroll Warrants & Direct Deposits 6,082,097.30 Procurement Card 337,874.53 ECI Building Rental 1,366,482.81 INTERCAP Loan 3,628.25 Network Infrastructure & Vehicle Purchases TOTAL $11,962,188.34 FINANCIAL REPORTS -- MAY 2010 (UNAUDITED) The following reports were received and have been reviewed by BFR: CS101 Account Expenditure by Fund CS102 Account Receipts by Fund MONTHLY LEGAL REPORT There was nothing new to report on the monthly legal report. CONSENT AGENDA Trustee Guthals made the following motion with a second by Trustee Fox: Motion to approve and accept the items within the Consent Agenda without objection to recommended action. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Joel Guthals, Travis Kemp, Teresa Stroebe, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously. The following items were approved: Regular Board Meeting Minutes, May 17, 2010 Special Elementary Board Meeting Minutes, May 24, 2010 4:15 Special Board Meeting Minutes, May 24, 2010 5:30 Joint Special Board, Budgeting for Results, Energy and Environmental Innovations, and Planning & Development Committees Meeting Minutes, June 7, 2010 Budgeting for Results Minutes, May 10, 2010 Joint Special Board, Budgeting for Results, Energy and Environmental Innovations, and Planning & Development Committees Meeting Minutes, June 7, 2010 School Resource Officer Agreements District Clerk Salary 2010-2011 Montana High School Association Membership Dues. The meeting recessed until 5:30 p.m., June 22, 2010, at 9:50 p.m. The meeting resume at 5:40 p.m. on June 22, 2010. Members present included Trustees Joel Guthals, Connie Wardell, Barbara Bryan, Travis Kemp, Joyce Weber, Teresa Stroebe, Mary Jo Fox, Superintendent Jack Copps, and District Clerk Leo Hudetz. Trustees Graves and Aragon were excused. Registered guests included Pam Meier, Kyra Gaskill, Mark Venner, Stacy Lemelin, Cheryl Malia McCall, Jay Lemelin and Tom Bick. COMMUNICATION FROM THE PUBLIC The Board recognizes the value of public comment on educational issues and the importance of listening to members of the public in its meetings. The Board also recognizes the statutory and constitutional right of the public to participate in governmental operations. The Board encourages members of the public to participate in and express opinions about issues important to the District. This part of the Boards meeting is dedicated to public comment on any public matter that is not on the agenda of this meeting and is within the jurisdiction of the Board of Trustees. Members of the public may also address particular items on this agenda either now or at the time the Board considers the particular item. Sandie Mammenga, Big Sky Elementary Principal, asked the Board to consider the following: maintain programs; cutting 19.275 FTE would have a large impact on the community; stimulus funds to maintain jobs; one-time only and flex funds were not in the original discussions; Title II money is for professional development; $200,000 for deferred maintenance would be good but childrens education is more important. Jeff Greenfield, Billings Education Association President, stated the potential employees to be cut on the personnel report were told they would be hired and some quit their other jobs. If the Board waits too long to approve the report, those people will seek other positions. Dennis Stellingwerf, Custodial Foreman, spoke against the cuts in custodial staff. Currently, there is a lower number of custodians than in the past years and the staff cleans over 24,000 square feet every day. Rich Whitney, Facilities Director, stated the housekeepers are current employees and are probably not aware the Board is contemplating cutting their positions. These people need to be treated fairly and work hard. This staff is also part of the energy saving program. If the custodial staff were to be cut by 12.725 FTE, that is 31% of the staff. Students, staff, and the public will be impacted by these cuts as the buildings will not be clean. H1N1 flu virus was a large issue in the last school year and these housekeepers played a big part in preventing the spread. Bruce MacIntyre, Chamber of Commerce, stated he is a member of Budgeting for Results and the Yes For Kids campaign. He stated the BFR Committee received potential budget cut information in January 2010. Chair Bryan explained why the District has a budget surplus in the elementary district. An increase of 12% had been predicted for the employees health insurance whereas the actual increase of 6% was not known until after March. Because of this and the successful mill levy passage, there is a small surplus. Trustee Wardell made the following motion with a second by Trustee Weber: Motion to place the tabled motion regarding the budget cuts back for discussion. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Joel Guthals, Travis Kemp, Teresa Stroebe, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Bryan reported she spoke to the Districts legal counsel regarding certified staff hiring listed on the personnel report. Counsel informed her the District could open itself up to legal issues if those potential employees were not hired. Trustee Bryan stated the Fast Track program is primarily for reading in the middle schools and could have a direct impact on drop-outs. Superintendent Copps felt we would have more drop-outs if the Fast Track program was cut. The at-risk population must also be considered when making cuts. Fast Track is a $90,000 program and impacts approximately 200 students which is 1/10th of 1% of the elementary budget. Superintendent Copps felt the only thing to do was to use the bonding capacity to address deferred maintenance, which the District has a bonding capacity of $350,000,000. Trustee Wardell made the amended motion with a second by Trustee Bryan: Motion to amend the motion to buy back the Fast Track reading intervention program and accept all of the other Budgeting for Results recommended cuts. Trustee Wardell voiced her concern about the drop-out rate as it affects the Districts ANB but knew cuts will need to be made now and before the 2012 school year. Trustee Weber asked what the sustainable level is for the custodial staff. Mr. Whitney stated his department needs enough staff to get in the classrooms every day which is where we are now. It would be a negative impact on our energy savings if staff were cut. Trustee Guthals reported he was concerned about the integrity of the BFR process. The committee never heard that these cuts would affect the educational mission statement but now information is being given that it would impact the students. In 2012, large cuts will have to be made. Keeping the schools clean is not only the responsibility of the housekeepers but also the staff and students. Trustee Fox agreed and stated the Board owed it to the taxpayers as it is the fiscal steward of the Districts funds. She believed, as it is an all or nothing road, the Board needed to stick with all of the cuts as larger cuts will have to be made next year. Trustee Stroebe stated it is the state legislators who are harming the children due to the lack of proper funding and the last twenty years have seen many cuts. Travis Kemp did not believe the Board should change what BFR is recommending. Those voting in favor of the amended motion were Barbara Bryan, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. Those opposing were Mary Jo Fox and Travis Kemp. The motion passed. Trustees Stroebe and Guthals are ineligible to vote on elementary issues. Those voting in favor of the original motion were Connie Wardell and Barbara Bryan. Opposing were Joyce Weber, Mary Jo Fox, and Travis Kemp. The motion failed. Trustees Stroebe and Guthals are ineligible to vote on elementary issues. Trustee Fox made the following motion with a second by Trustee Weber: Motion to accept the proposed recommendations from BFR but retain the $284,000 for housekeepers. Those voting in favor were Joyce Weber, Mary Jo Fox, and Travis Kemp. Those opposed were Barbara Bryan and Connie Wardell. The motion passed. Trustees Stroebe and Guthals are ineligible to vote on elementary issues. Trustee Guthals made the following motion with a second by Trustee Fox: Motion to approve the preliminary high school budget for 2011 as shown on page 85 with the elimination of 12.67 FTE due to attrition. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Joel Guthals, Travis Kemp, Teresa Stroebe, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously. Trustee Fox made the following motion with a second by Trustee Weber: Motion to approve the preliminary elementary budget for 2011 with the addition of the 12.725 FTE for Facilities. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Travis Kemp, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously. Trustees Stroebe and Guthals are ineligible to vote on elementary issues. PERSONNEL REPORT Sandra Bailey was removed from the Personnel Report as she has sought employment in another district. Trustee Guthals made the following motion with a second by Trustee Fox: Motion to approve the Personnel report with the amendment to remove Sandra Bailey from the report. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Joel Guthals, Travis Kemp, Teresa Stroebe, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously. POTENTIAL BOND ELECTION: REPORT ON SPECIAL JOINT BOARD COMMITTEES MEETING; BOND DISCUSSION AND DECISION ON ELECTION Chair Bryan reviewed the bonds and the joint Board/committee meeting held on June 7, 2010. Trustee Guthals reported that the BFR recommended the $2,000,000 for the Qualified Zone Academy Bonds (QZABs) and $10,000,000 for the Qualified School Construction Bonds (QSCBs) and would determine the projects at a later day if Board approved. The QZAB bonds are interest free and can be used for repairs and rehabilitation but no new construction. The Qualified School Construction Bonds (QSCBs) are also interest free and can be used for repairs, rehabilitation, and new construction. BFR recommended not apply for the Build America Bonds at this time. Trustee Wardell made the following motion with a second by Trustee Weber: Motion to adopt the Trustee Resolution 6-1-2010 approving a mail bond election on September 7, 2010 for the elementary district as shown on page 120 of the packet. Chair Bryan stated the District must notify the County the intention to run a mail ballot levy. Projects would be determined at a later date. Both districts resolutions can be approved now but must be withdrawn by July 14, 2010 if the Board decides not to run a mail ballot levy. The final wording for the levy must be submitted to the County by July 6th. A joint meeting with the Board, Energy and Environmental Innovations Committee, and the Budgeting for Results will be held next Monday, June 28th. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Travis Kemp, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously. Trustees Guthals and Stroebe are ineligible to vote on elementary issues. Trustee Guthals made the following motion with a second by Trustee Stroebe: Motion to adopt the high school Trustee Resolution 6-2-2010 approving a mail bond election on September 7, 2010, as shown on page 121 of the packet. Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Joel Guthals, Travis Kemp, Teresa Stroebe, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously. As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:10 p.m. Barbara Bryan, Chair Diane Blevins, Recorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
