Karen Moses welcomed Terry Bouck and thanked Jack Copps for his continued service to the District. She reminded the board that sometimes consequences for their actions are unintended, and encouraged the new superintendent to hold the board accountable for all children not just a chosen few. Neighborhood schools are for all children. Failure to get along is the problem not lack of a long-range plan. Paul Gerber spoke on behalf of the warehouse, urged the board to keep the warehouse operations as is – serves the district well. Mike Dilley passed out presentation. Last year in April a presentation was done on the Material Center. Cheapest, fastest, best way was the Material Center. They have direct impact on the schools. He disputes the figures in the warehouse report and RFP. He has lots of concerns and questions about the RFP. The district can save money by going through preferred vendors and cracking down on P-card orders. Greg Hergett has been employed for almost 23 years at the warehouse. He urged more study before outsourcing stores inventory. Many services are provided. Schools will suffer. Greg Utterback, electronics technician at the warehouse, feels there are inconsistencies in the RFP. He has an electronics lab at the warehouse where he has access to junk parts which save the schools money. It would be cost prohibitive to create another electronics lab, plus no access to the junk parts. Please reconsider and do a complete study. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Trustee Moen made a motion to move items K, J and O-1 to prior to budget discussion, delete Item P-1, remove from consent agenda items R-5, R-7, R-9, R-11, R-12, R-13, R-15. Trustee Aragon seconded the motion. Trustee Ellis made a friendly amendment to the motion to move item K before H and N before H, also budget issues. Trustee Stroebe suggested moving item H (budget) down instead of moving the other items up. Mr. Hudetz explained the discussion at agenda setting was to put the budget item first and this is opposite. Budget would be after the point to know what money we have before we spend it. Trustee Aragon agrees the budget needs to come first. Voting in favor of changing budget after instead of before were Trustees Ellis, Graves, Kemp, Moen and Wardell. Trustee Wardell asked to remove item R-2 from consent. Trustee Moen made a motion to approve the agenda as changed. Trustee Graves seconded the motion. Voting in favor of the motion were Trustees Ellis, Graves, Kemp, Moen, Smith, Stroebe, Aragon, Halter and Wardell. BOARD COMMUNICATION UPDATE Attorney Jeff Weldon updated the board about conversations he, Leo Hudetz and Karen Palmer had regarding board communication. Karen Palmer has been evaluating systems available to public entities. This would probably require a change in procedures. Karen Palmer would like to give a demonstration on some of the systems available. Mr. Hudetz stated that Thursday the MTSBA workshop will talk about Montana open meeting laws. SODEXO AMERICA CONTRACT FOR 2012-13 Dr. Middleton and Bette Hunt explained the changes in the past few years, the upgrades, etc. and changes in the laws and expectations. Dr. Middleton stated that Ms. Hunt solicits input which is overwhelmingly positive. Trustee Aragon made a motion to approve the Sodexo America contract for 2012-13. The motion was seconded by Trustee Graves. Trustee Aragon thanked Ms. Hunt and her team for continuing to improve the food quality and the program. Trustee Wardell complemented Ms. Hunt also, and is amazed the lunch ladies know the kids’ names in the schools. Trustees Wardell, Aragon, Smith, Kemp, Stroebe, Halter, Ellis, Moen and Graves voted in favor of the motion and it passed unanimously. MEAL PRICES FOR 2012-13 Trustee Aragon made a motion to adopt the meal price increases for the 2012-13 school year. Trustee Graves seconded the motion. Trustees Aragon, Graves, Ellis, Moen, Smith, Kemp, Stroebe, Halter and Wardell voted in favor of the motion. Motion passed unanimously. GROUP INSURANCE RECOMMENDATION Jeff Greenfield, member of the insurance committee and co-chair with Jeana Lervick, explained that the committee meets on monthly basis and looks at the self-funded insurance plan. EBMS is a third party administrator which processes claims based on the policies. The committee learns about and acts on new regulations, reviews stop loss claims, looks at Medicare supplements, retains actuary services which recommends rates. They look at services and costs for employees and their dependents. This year’s national trend is an18 percent increase. This year suggested increase for the District is 3 percent on health and .7 percent on the dental portion for a total of 3.7 percent suggested increase for next year. Trustee Moen asked Mr. Greenfield to share about the onsite health care program proposed for next year. This is for primary care and chronic health issues. There will be two on-site clinics, 20 minute appointments, no waiting. Employees can go during the day to minimize time away from their job for primary care only. They will provide generic prescription drugs at no cost. WAREHOUSE RECOMMENDATIONS There was public comment from Mary Westwood. This is important to lots of people, to warehouse employees and also those getting the contract for stores inventory. She is neutral but has concerns about how the analysis was done and agrees the comparisons are not apples to apples. She is also concerned about the other 18 vendors that would be left out. People would be required to purchase from 360 Office Solutions but are not now required to purchase from the warehouse. Who will keep an eye on that if the warehouse is dismantled? There should be more work done on this so public can see that this will in fact save us money. Mr. Graves commented on the Performance Monitoring/Stakeholder Relations Committee review of this issue. There was an April 23 presentation from staff about warehouse function and ways to save money. Ms. Hubbard stated that in August auditors voiced extreme concern about the warehouse. She went through the warehouse options as presented. The goal is to keep the fund in the black. If we keep the warehouse we will have to make up the negative balance, cost to current year is $386,556. Mike Follett and Craig Bartholomew from 360 Office Solutions were present to answer questions. Trustee Ellis asked about a third option, not to have a warehouse, use local vendors available. Jack Copps stated the majority of AA districts have their own warehouse. Superintendent Copps make it clear to compare item by item, there are overhead costs associated to outsource. If we keep the warehouse here we need to look at item cost plus the overhead. Ex: food service – they assume all of the overhead costs. You cannot just look at the cost of the item. The company assuming the responsibility is also assuming the overhead. Trustee Wardell is concerned that teachers are out shopping instead of educating students. Ms. Moen is concerned about purchases by P-card instead of planning ahead and buying from the warehouse. Ms. Hubbard pulled a P-card report and went line by line and marked what could have been stores inventory. If this is in place there will be a penalty for purchasing out of the program. That will be easy to control and trace. Standardizing was the key in any option. It is in both options. Trustee Halter asked about a delivery fee. There is no delivery fee, included emergency, same day and desktop delivery. There will be quarterly reports by departments, analyzing buying patterns and to look at alternatives to save money. Trustee Graves asked if prices go lower, what happens? Price increases will be presented, if there is a savings it would be implemented immediately. If there is an increase from the manufacturer it would be presented to the School District. It would not be implemented without knowledge and approval. We also can consider other products that would meet the standards. Trustee Wardell asked if this is a three-year contract, would there be an option for parties at the end of the year if this is not working. 360 Office Solutions said they would be open to that – maybe on a quarterly basis. You get to see your own data and analyze your own data. There will be District approved items and delegation of authority. There will be controls in place at the order level. Trustee Graves asked if people that needed to be included in the study were included? Superintendent Copps stated the reason for seeking bids was lots of conversation about the warehouse and it going into the red. There were numerous requests to outsource and conduct a study. It was conducted by an independent company at a very reasonable cost. He stated this decision needs to be made this evening. If we are not going to outsource this, we need to proceed with purchasing our inventory for next year. He cannot speak to due diligence of the study. It is proper to consider outsourcing and stated the warehouse is one-third of $1 million in the red. If we are going to proceed with the warehouse as it is, there has to be a major change. If we can save money, we need to do it. 360 Office Solutions has a longstanding relationship with both hospitals, the major refineries, city of Billings, etc. Trustee Stroebe asked Mr. Copps to address concerns about jobs and reminded the board that this is about cost savings and purchasing. Mr. Copps explained that in terms of employment, the people who could possibly be laid off would be two people. Others would be transferred or placed in other positions in the district. It is his hope to place all in other positions in the district. Trustee Wardell made a motion to accept the Performance Monitoring/Stakeholder Relations Committee recommendation to outsource office supplies, school supplies, furniture, as well as other related items to 360 Office Solutions. Further, to authorize the Superintendent to negotiate a standards-based multiyear contract with 360 Office Solutions to include the purchase of our stores inventory. Trustee Halter seconded the motion. Trustees Aragon, Moen, Ellis, Graves, Halter, Kemp, Smith, Stroebe and Wardell voted in favor of the motion. The motion passed unanimously. UNION-DISTRICT NEGOTIATIONS: BILLINGS EDUCATION ASSOCIATION Dr. Middleton presented the agreements reached with each of the district’s bargaining units. He thanked the teams and the presidents for their open and honest dialogue, administrators and board members who served on the committees. The Billings Education Association (BEA) contract overview is no increase on the base, 1.25% on last step, steps, lanes, insurance. There will also be a Labor Management Committee formed to study and discuss lane advancement course work criteria and possible changes to compensation structure. Dr. Middleton stated that all three groups have ratified their contracts. Montana Public Employees Association (MPEA) and Billings Classified Education Association (BCEA) were given two additional holidays to be determined at the discretion of the Superintendent. The two days will be blackout days to maximize energy savings. Trustee Graves moved to ratify the collective bargaining agreement with the Billings Education Association for 2012-13. Trustee Kemp seconded the motion. The increases were built into budget. Trustee Aragon mentioned continued budget shortfalls, class size issues, overcrowding and educational issues. We need to be mindful of that but she is appreciative of work. We need to work together to get more funding, pass levies, etc. A vote was called. Trustees Graves, Kemp, Aragon, Ellis, Moen, Halter, Smith, Stroebe and Wardell voted in favor. The motion passed unanimously. UNION-DISTRICT NEGOTIATIONS: MONTANA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION Dr. Middleton explained that this group will receive an additional 25 cents per hour and insurance. Trustee Wardell made a motion to ratify the collective bargaining agreement with the Montana Public Employees Association for 2012-13. Trustee Smith seconded the motion. Trustees Aragon, Moen, Ellis, Graves, Halter, Kemp, Smith, Stroebe and Wardell voted in favor of the motion and it passed unanimously. UNION-DISTRICT NEGOTIATIONS: BILLINGS CLASSIFIED EDUCATION ASSOCIATION Dr. Middleton explained that the wage for this group was an additional 25 center per hour plus insurance. Trustee Graves made a motion to ratify the collective bargaining agreement with the Billings Classified Education Association for 2012-13. Trustee Halter seconded the motion. Trustees Aragon, Moen, Ellis, Graves, Halter, Kemp, Smith, Stroebe and Wardell voted in favor of the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

The motion was seconded by Trustee Halter. Those voting in favor of the motion were Trustees Aragon, Moen, Ellis, Graves, Halter, Kemp and Wardell. The motion passed unanimously. This was an elementary issue only so Trustees Stroebe and Smith are not eligible to vote. Trustee Aragon made a motion to approve Dorsey & Whitney, LLP as bond counsel for the Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds that were approved by voters in the High School District on May 8, 2012. Trustee Ellis seconded the motion. Trustees Aragon, Moen, Ellis, Graves, Halter, Kemp, Smith, Stroebe and Wardell voted in favor of the motion. The motion passed unanimously. POLICIES – POLICY DELETIONS, 2ND READING Mr. Hudetz explained that since Policy 4333 had been passed, several policies are either repetitive or in conflict with this new policy. Therefore, it is asked that they be deleted on second reading. The first reading was on July 18, 2011. Motion was made by Trustee Wardell to delete Policy 3222 and Procedure 3222-P1, Policy 4331, and Policy 7332 on second reading. Trustee Graves seconded the motion.

POLICIES – POLICY 7265 PLEDGES, 1ST READING New Policy 7265 on pledges is presented on first reading. This policy says that pledges have to be in the bank before we do a project. Trustee Aragon would like more background. Trustee Moen stated that this was a deficiency on audit and it will be another negative on our audit report if not passed. Patricia Hubbard stated that this was one of the findings so we do have to remedy this in some way by June 30th. The auditors suggested a policy. Trustee Halter moved and Trustee Ellis seconded approval of Policy 7265 Pledges on first reading. Trustees Aragon, Moen, Ellis, Graves, Halter, Kemp, Smith, Stroebe and Wardell voted in favor of the motion and it passed unanimously. SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT On May 15 Superintendent Copps attended a meeting in Helena at the Legislative Fiscal Analyst’s office regarding common core, costs and status of common core. If the LFA makes a determination of significant cost to districts, the legislature will have to address. If there is a 1 percent increase in the General Fund budget in the district, it did not indicate there was a substantial cost. They felt we should be able to absorb the cost. Our costs are going to be in the 1.5 percent range and even higher. It would be helpful if the legislature would address this. On May 10th at request of the Board of Education, Mr. Copps went to Great Falls to attend the Board of Education meeting. Chair Stroebe attended by phone. This was regarding the number of deviations in the accreditation process. For librarians and counselors we have a plan in place to address. On student-teacher ratio, they were adamant that something has to be done. We have close to 100 classes over accreditation standards. By providing instructional aides in those classes it would still take over $900 thousand. The Board of Education is requesting another meeting with the new superintendent and chair at the end of July. They do not allow lack of resources to stand in the way of accreditation. Our district has been downgraded accreditation to step 2, intensive care status. Only one other district in the state is currently at that step. We will have to find some way to reduce the number of overcrowded classrooms. This morning he went to Washington Elementary School where CenturyLink contributed a significant check to school to upgrade computers there and presented a mobile lab with Mac laptops with a total cost of close to $30 thousand. CenturyLink is part of the partners program. Kids were very excited. CenturyLink reaches out to parents as well as to students. Mr. Copps said he was pleased to have Mr. Bouck, incoming superintendent, here. He has been involved in activities, attended schools, and it’s great to have that opportunity. K-5 READING SERIES Gail Surwill and Kim Anthony made a PowerPoint presentation on the recommended K-5 reading series, Lead 21. The net cost is $1.3 million. They have worked out a plan for paying for this by using money from the textbook budget, Indian Achievement and Medicaid dollars. The rest could be divided over two years. Superintendent Copps recommends moving forward with this at this time. The Medicaid money is from reimbursements and there are no other obligations for that money. Trustee Graves made a motion to approve the purchase of these reading books as presented tonight with use of Medicaid/Medicare for 2013-14. Motion seconded by Trustee Wardell. Trustee Graves asked how much money are we spending on multiple reading plans? Ms. Surwill replied quite a few, many times purchased by buildings and this should free up some building dollars. Patricia Hubbard interjected that in projecting out Medicaid/Mac and indirects, we will not have enough for 2014 but will have to budget in the General Fund for those or reassess. Mr. Copps said to identify Medicaid and Mac money for the coming year and leave open the following year. The question was called. Trustees Aragon, Moen, Ellis, Graves, Halter, Kemp, Smith, Stroebe and Wardell voted in favor of the motion. Motion passed unanimously. BUDGET Ms. Hubbard will request the funds from protested taxes. Looking at FY 13 revenue, added in negotiated agreements, administrative recommendations to reduce the deficit—common core reduction, cut in half, take out $400 thousand in textbooks, reducing custodians (two additional not a cut), at risk reduction of $150,000 (each high school gave $50 thousand out of their at risk budget). These are the recommendations from the Central Office Leadership Team to balance the budget. Trustee Moen asked about cuts in the activities budget? The Superintendent stated this includes negotiations with other districts, how we are sending teams, etc. It is not possible to do that at this time. Ms. Moen is concerned about equity across high schools. Mr. Copps will look at that. Trustee Graves is concerned about cutting $150 thousand out of at risk. We already have problems with dropouts. Brenda Koch stated that the high school principals were able to give up this vs. line item by line item. It is important for them to contribute for a balanced budget. They can still keep their programs intact in their schools. Mr. Copps stated that in 2007 with the closing of Crossroads, money was dedicated to each high schools. In other districts, this is not done. They continue to have some money there at their discretion. Trustee Graves said students say there is not enough room to take classes they need to take to make up. Ms. Koch stated that we need to add extra sections of classes but the $50 thousand would not cover those costs. Trustee Wardell asked about access to Adult Ed money for credit recovery. Mr. Copps confirms that we are using that now. We are looking at partnerships with Adult Education and our high schools to use resources to make sure students graduate. He does not believe the $50 thousand coming from the high schools will have a significant impact. Trustee Graves made a motion to accept administrative recommendation to balance the budget and other action regarding the FY 13 budget as appropriate. Trustee Smith seconded the motion. Trustees Aragon, Moen, Ellis, Graves, Halter, Kemp, Smith, Stroebe and Wardell voted in favor and the motion passed unanimously. PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT Trustee Moen said Planning & Development Committee had presentations by Lew Anderson on facility plans presented over the past 15 years as well as looked at demographics. They received a report on school configuration and school size by Kathy Olson and Brenda Koch which included class size concerns, 63 percent of Kindergarten classes over accreditation. They will look at Kindergarten centers, K-5, sister schools, greatest value vs. greatest cost, common core, K-5 reading series, math series. The committee will be selecting a proposal on the Master Facilities Plan as well as hear about common core alignment, school size and configuration. FACILITIES MASTER PLAN TIMELINE Item pulled by Trustee Moen. FACILITIES MASTER PLAN – AWARDING CONTRACT Dr. Middleton stated they had received six completed proposals. A committee headed by him, board members and staff met on Thursday and talked about evaluating these proposals when people come back with their scores. Plan to have companies come back on May 22. AA CAUCUS REPORT Trustee Stroebe stated that the MTSBA Delegate Assembly is scheduled for June 8th. She passed out hard copies of resolutions proposed. These resolutions are also on MTSBA web page. MTSBA will pay for four delegates: Trustees Wardell, Stroebe, Moen and Graves with Trustee Ellis as alternate. Regarding AA VisionNet, Mr. Hudetz passed out charts showing basic entitlements which will be a hotly debated issue. Trustee Moen suggested a special meeting after agenda setting to discuss this. Mr. Hudetz said there were also other issues to discuss at a special meeting such as bonds, audit RFPs, and resolutions. There will be a special meeting on June 4th after agenda setting. CONSENT AGENDA Trustee Wardell asked to have the Personnel Report pulled from consent. She is pleased to see we have administrative new hires and would like to hear about their qualifications. Debra Black, currently at Skyview as Assistant Principal, has done an exceptional job, has superintendent endorsement, has been a superintendent in Montana. Keri Boswick, from out of state, is recommended for curriculum/instruction. She currently is an English teacher in Oklahoma.

She oversaw 42 schools and was an area director for special education K-12. Trustee Moen would like the minutes of March 26 and April 23 to go to Planning & Development Committee for approval. Superintendent Copps stated that the letter on page 194 should include McKinley Schools 6th graders moving to Lewis and Clark. This was inadvertently left off the letter.
