The Personnel Report has been pulled from the Consent Agenda. Trustee Stroebe made the following motion with a second by Trustee Goodrich:

 

Move to approve the agenda as restated.

 

Those voting in favor were Dawn Achten, Mary Jo Fox, Malcolm Goodrich, Joel Guthals, Katharin Kelker, Karen Moses, Sandra Mossman and Conrad Stroebe. The motion passed unanimously.

 

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 Board’s 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.

 

Peter Gesuale addressed to express his concern that he was notified his children would not be able to attend Central Heights the day prior to the start of school. There was no more room at the school and Mr. Gesuale was told his first and third graders would have to attend their home school as they were out of area students. He felt calling students a few hours before school starts was callous and gave the public a view that resources were not managed properly. He felt follow-ups should be conducted to determine how the children were doing. Mr. Gesuale also voiced his concern of the new proposed subdivision whose students would be bussed to Central Heights.

Monthly Legal Report

 

Jeff Weldon reported there was nothing new to report on the following pending litigation: Rapp-Swecker, Columbia Falls, KTVQ, Eastman, M.T. and the Hudak case. There are cross motions pending in the Erekson case. The issue of the Petition of the Billings High School District No. 2 is pending before the State Supreme Court. The Opie case is pending a judgment from the State Superintendent.

 

There were no long-term suspensions. Jeff Weldon reported e-mails would no longer be automatically forwarded to the Board. The public can request copies of e-mails but the District sponsored Board member e-mail accounts will be eliminated. Karen Palmer, Technology Director, reported the media list, which received all e-mails, has been shut down. Board members will be able to log into the public folders to access e-mails. Clerk Hudetz stated he would need direction from the Board on how people should apply to receive e-mails electronically. He stated e-mails could be culled and placed into a separate folder for the media to access with a password. Mr. Weldon stated the public could also request to see public documents. Trustee Goodrich asked if culling would be a liability issue for the District. Trustee Stroebe stated the District’s business is a public business. He hoped the Board would rethink this decision at a later time.

 

Jeff Weldon reported the District has displaced students from Hurricane Katrina in the south and are guided under federal program benefits. The District currently has six students.

 

Policy 1700 Complaint – Three-Trustee Panel Recommendation

 

The Chair reported the three-member panel met on July 25 and August 30 to consider the appeal by Robert and Rita Opie. The panel consisted of Joel Guthals, Malcolm Goodrich and Katharin Kelker. The complainants had asked for employment action but the panel had rejected that notion as the employee was acting on her own time and out of Board jurisdiction. The Superintendent had been directed to review the treatment of the parents with respect to the conduct of Ms. Manley, an employee, determine if proper channels were used by Ms. Manley about a work place issue, determine if any confidential or personal information was divulged by Ms. Manley, and to define the intention of Ms. Manley in regards to the complainants in her email.

 

Trustee Goodrich made the following motion with a second by Trustee Guthals:

 

Motion that the Board confirm the recommendation of the panel which adopted the findings and conclusions of the

administration with respect to the complaint and direct the administration to follow the items that are directed for remand.

 

Trustee Stroebe felt it was important for the Superintendent to follow up on the recommendations and report the findings to the Board whether action is taken or not. The Chair reported the only time an employment action is brought before the Board is for termination. Superintendent Svee reported he has reviewed all the panel recommendations and dealt with them properly with the administration at Skyview.

 

Those voting in favor were Dawn Achten, Mary Jo Fox, Malcolm Goodrich, Joel Guthals, Katharin Kelker, Karen Moses, Sandra Mossman and Conrad Stroebe. The motion passed unanimously.

 

Update from Board Ad Hoc Committee on Building Ownership – Return of Tabled Item from August

 

Superintendent Svee reported the Ad Hoc Committee on Building Ownership recommended the Elementary Board reject the purchase offer made to the Elementary District to purchase the Grand Avenue School property for $1.8 million. The committee also recommended that both boards consider and discuss the change in resolution establishing ownership. Trustee Mossman made the following motion with a second by Trustee Goodrich:

 

Motion to reject the offer from the private party to purchase Grand Avenue.

 

Those voting in favor were Dawn Achten, Mary Jo Fox, Malcolm Goodrich, Katharin Kelker, Karen Moses and Sandra Mossman. The motion passed unanimously. Trustees Guthals and Stroebe are ineligible to vote on elementary issues.

 

The second issue to be considered is the resolution with suggested changes by Superintendent Svee. Trustee Guthals stated the Ad Hoc Committee is not recommending a permanent decision on the location for the Crossroads High School at the Grand Avenue facility. Superintendent Svee reported the tentative solution, in order for the maintenance for Grand Avenue shift to the high school district, would be a lease could be worked out to cover the maintenance fees of the elementary district. Trustee Guthals felt the committee should be able to come before the Board soon to resolve all of the issues. The high school district has an ownership interest in Riverside, Will James and Castle Rock, but not Lewis & Clark.

 

Trustee Moses recommended the issue reflect through the committees as it is of concern to the public. Trustee Mossman stated it did impact all three standing committees and suggested a joint meeting be held to discuss the issues. Trustee Guthals made the following motion with a second by Trustee Stroebe:

 

Motion to approve the resolution on page 39 of the agenda with the deletion of the words ‘Lewis & Clark’ in part

1 of the resolution and the resolution continues on the bottom of page 41 with ‘the further resolved’.

 

Those voting in favor were Dawn Achten, Mary Jo Fox, Malcolm Goodrich, Joel Guthals, Katharin Kelker, Karen Moses, Sandra Mossman and Conrad Stroebe. The motion passed unanimously. The resolution is as follows:

 

BOARD OF TRUSTEES

BILLINGS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT 2 AND

BILLINGS HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT 2

RESOLUTION #1

DATED: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2005

 

RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING METHODOLOGY

TO SETTLE SCHOOL OWNERSHIP

 

RESOLVED, that based upon the Board's review of School District records, it appears to the Board that:

1) the following schools are jointly owned by the Elementary School District and the High School District: Riverside, Will James and Castle Rock (the "Middle Schools"), with generally one-third of the Middle Schools owned by the High School District and two-thirds owned by the Elementary School District;

2) previous District School Boards did not require the Elementary School District and High School District to pay rents to each other for use of school facilities, including rents for the Middle Schools, and therefore it is not appropriate for the School Board at this time to seek retroactive rent payments from either the Elementary School District or the High School District for the past use of school facilities;

3) the ownership of the Middle Schools should be quantified by determining the value of the ownership interests of the Elementary School District and High School District;

4) transferring school properties or interests therein between the Elementary School District and High School District based upon their monetary value and their value to School District 2 based upon educationally relevant criteria is advisable, before selling school properties to the public, and purchasing other school properties;

5) the Grand Avenue School facility has been tentatively selected by the Board as a permanent location for the Crossroads High School, and is therefore should be retained for the foreseeable future as a school property for the benefit of School District 2's overall educational purposes; and

6) the Superintendent believes that there may be other school properties that may be traded between the Elementary School District and the High School District in order to benefit School District 2's educational purposes and resolve school ownership issues between the two Districts.

FURTHER RESOLVED, that to enable the Board to decide on the trading of property between the Elementary School District and the High School District, the Superintendent shall provide the Board with accurate information about the present value of the Middle Schools, the Grand Avenue School property, and other school properties that may be suitable for transfer between the Districts, with their values determined by the current replacement value of the buildings and the assessed value for taxation purposes of similar land, with the Grand Avenue School property to be valued at no less than $1.8 million.

FURTHER RESOLVED, that upon receiving the recommendations of the Superintendent and valuation information about the school properties, the Board shall determine transfers of school property and other consideration between the Elementary School District and the High School District in order to resolve issues concerning the ownership of School District 2 properties among the two Districts and to achieve the overall educational objectives of School District 2.

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board’s Ad Hoc Committee continue its work with the presumption that the High School District will acquire, through trade or credit, the Grand Avenue School property from the Elementary District for a value not less than $1.8 million. The Ad Hoc Committee is directed to include details of this presumed transfer in its recommendations to the Board.

 

Questions and Answers to Enhance Public Understanding

 

Superintendent Svee reported all questions have been answered and all facts and figures have been compiled. The individual will be given a written response. The increases occurred in federal programs, not the general fund. The question came in written form and asked why more teachers were being hired if there was a hiring freeze. The state office showed that there was an increase in FTE but the increases occurred in federal grants, not the general fund. The state report covers a five-year period.

 

Trustee Guthals reported he had intended this section of each meeting to state the question and the answer. He suggested, in the future, the Board could approach the questions in that manner. The suggestion will be utilized at the October meeting.

 

News of the District

 

Carol Wicker reviewed the enrollment figures as of September 6th for those present. Trustee Achten asked if numbers were available before school started. Superintendent Svee stated numbers are in the pre-enrollment figures. In the case at Central Heights, 18 students enrolled on Monday prior to school starting in the areas of Mr. Gesuale’s concern. Trustee Achten voiced her concern over the less than 24-hour notice that Mr. Gesuale’s children could not attend Central Heights. The Chair stated Board policy was followed. The Board could change the policy. Trustee Fox voiced her concern on overcrowded schools and opening a school. Kathy Olson, Director of Elementary Education, reported administration tries to keep the class sizes below accreditation standards. Superintendent Svee stated there is no money to reopen one of the closed schools. Trustee Goodrich stated the Board could reprioritize the budget. He suggested the hiring freeze could be amended to provide for temporary rebalancing of staff to permit children to attend a school of choice based upon a pre-existing, out-of-area agreement or need, for the ability to meet state student/teacher ratios for in-area students, subject, however, to the requirement that the administration will report the hires to the Business Committee and Board subsequent to making a hire, for further evaluation of District Budgetary requirements. The suggestion will be brought back to the next regular meeting.

 

There was consensus on the Board that it was not a good idea to move students the day before school starts. The members agreed the schools are reaching a crisis point due to the overcrowding in some schools and low enrollments in others. The boundary situation may have to be addressed at a later time. Trustee Guthals suggested the administration identify the policies and call them to the Board’s attention with recommendations to change the policies. He further suggested the Superintendent look into improving communication to the parents when a chance of displacement occurs. Trustee Fox recommended the Board look at the potential for portable classrooms in the Heights where the same type of problem may occur next year. Trustee Stroebe felt it is time for the Board to start looking at new revenues and the first place to start is a discussion with the Billings Public Education Foundation to aid in raising funds. He also suggested the Board find out what happened to the students the District lost from ninth graders to sophomores. Trustee Moses felt personnel should follow up with the displaced students to determine how they are doing.

Bills Paid – August 2005

 

Trustee Goodrich made the following motion with a second by Trustee Moses:

 

Move to approve the bills paid for August 2005.

 

Trustee Guthals did not believe the Business Committee had reviewed the bills paid. Thomas Harper felt the bills had been reviewed at the committee meeting. He suggested a report be given to the Board each month showing the bills are in order. Trustee Stroebe recommended management comments be given to the Board with the bills paid each month by Thomas Harper or Leo Hudetz. Thomas Harper recommended the bills be paid. Those voting in favor were Dawn Achten, Mary Jo Fox, Malcolm Goodrich, Joel Guthals, Katharin Kelker, Karen Moses, Sandra Mossman and Conrad Stroebe. The motion passed unanimously.

Board Negotiations Teams

BEA – Malcolm Goodrich, Kathy Kelker, Sandy Mossman

MPEA – Conrad Stroebe, Karen Moses

BCEA – Mary Jo Fox, Joel Guthals

 

The Chair reported the training session for negotiations would be on Monday, September 26th at 5:30 p.m. She further stated two trustees had requested not to serve on a negotiation team. Trustee Goodrich made the following motion with a second by Trustee Mossman:

 

Motion to affirm the negotiation teams.

 

Those voting in favor were Dawn Achten, Mary Jo Fox, Malcolm Goodrich, Joel Guthals, Katharin Kelker, Karen Moses, Sandra Mossman and Conrad Stroebe. The motion passed unanimously.

 

Budget Process

 

The Chair reported the Business Committee received a presentation at their last meeting on reforming the budget process. Trustee Goodrich suggested the District needed to rethink how the budget is formed, because trying to keep the status quo in all areas, it will fail. It requires some change in our process, which means some justification in the budget for the line items and formatting that in a way it is easily understood. He felt the Business Committee wanted a consultant to assist in the process. Trustee Goodrich stated the Board might want to consider trying to push the less essential items to the back burner and focus its attention on the most important issues.

 

Trustee Mossman felt the presentation was outstanding and was interested in entertaining the idea that the Board immediately begin working on a consultant in starting the process. Trustee Kelker suggested the Board have a study session. Trustee Stroebe felt the budget study session should be held before the negotiation training. He stated the schools need to build their budgets and should be provided information that they need to make their decisions. Trustee Mossman believed the budget process is the structure and the negotiations are the strategy.

 

New Subdivision Development in the BPS Area

 

Superintendent Svee stated administration is making the recommendations on schools for the new subdivisions in order that the realtors can inform prospective buyers. Kathy Olson reviewed the seven new subdivisions. Only one, Fox Tail, has any homes at this time with only two homes with school age children. Copper Ridge and Falcon Ridge’s schools are Boulder, Lewis & Clark and Senior High. Cottonwood’s schools are Burlington, Lewis & Clark and Senior High. The recommended schools for Vintage are Central Heights, Lewis & Clark, and Senior High. Bus service for those five subdivisions will be provided. Silverleaf is a small subdivision with the schools recommended as Arrowhead, Will James and West High. It is not believed that Silverleaf will have many school-aged children. It is projected Village West will contain starter homes with families with small children.

 

There are three subdivisions planned for the Heights area, which are King Place 2, Twin Oaks, and Eagle Ridge. King Place 2’s recommended schools are Alkali, Castle Rock and Skyview with bussing provided. The recommended schools for Twin Oaks and Eagle Ridge are Bench, Castle Rock and Skyview with bussing provided. It is anticipated most occupants of Twin Oaks would be retired persons or single persons with no children.

 

Carol Wicker stated administration estimated the number of students from those subdivisions with the elementary schools that has anticipated capacity and figured out which elementary schools would be at capacity with these subdivisions. Lewis & Clark is the only middle school that has excess room so that building would be filled first. There is no more room at Will James without any construction. The natural transition from Lewis & Clark would be to Senior High as it is not as overcrowded as West High. Students beyond three miles, by state law, are bussed at District expense.

Trustee Stroebe reported there are plans for three new subdivisions in Lockwood, which would have 200-250 more homes. Those students need to be figured in also. Trustee Moses asked if redistricting would help the situation. She voiced her concern in putting more students in Will James and West High. Superintendent Svee stated boundaries can be addressed in the future but redistricting does not change the fact that the schools are overcrowded. Trustee Stroebe asked if administration was drawing boundaries by saying which schools those students would attend. Carol Wicker stated there are no boundaries where the new subdivisions are being built. The Chair stated if the Board wants to set schools in another way, it can come back as an action item.

 

MQEC Update

 

Trustee Moses reported she attended, as well as Trustees Mossman and Stroebe, the Montana Quality Schools Coalition meetings. The draft proposal was presented to the membership and was well accepted. The break-out groups were developing parts of the overall proposal but it is not set as of this date. The proposal addressed adequacy and tax reform. In the tax reform, it was being considered to increase the state mills from 95 to 175, which would result in a tax reduction for approximately 80% of property taxpayers in Montana. Facilities and special needs had not been addressed.

 

Trustee Mossman reported she attended the Interim Committee meeting as well as the Montana School Board Association (MTSBA) meeting. She read the proposal that was unanimously voted on by the delegates from MTSBA. Enhanced funding is by student, by school and by educator. The MQEC proposal looked at a per educator amount that would be given to every district based on the number of teachers and administrators. The governor’s staff is studying Representative Glasser’s proposal in terms of doing the number crunching on the per classroom entitlement which is very complex. One way of addressing at-risk students that is being studied is all day kindergarten. Indian Education for All in Glasser’s proposal would be funded at a higher level.

 

Trustee Mossman reported the governor’s director gave a proposal on health insurance. The stop loss would be $150,000, which would lower the rates for the districts in the state, but it would not cover retirees. The graduated basic entitlement is the biggest issue in the funding reform for this District. Trustee Mossman reported smaller districts were now realizing the larger districts were being slighted.

 

Daylis Stadium Update

 

Dave Williams, Executive Director of Activities/Facilities, reported three sets of temporary bleachers would be set up later this week. He is working on getting more temporary bleachers. The bid selected for permanent bleachers is $389,000, which would seat 2000. The Senior/West game is scheduled for Friday night. The seating capacity is approximately 4,500. No one will be denied access as they may stand to watch the game. Extra security would be provided for the game. Dave Williams stated that a contract has been signed with CBS Constructors of McCook, Nebraska to build the permanent bleachers.

 

Elementary Bond Projects

 

Dave Williams gave updates on the elementary bond projects. The Orchard project is being worked on steadily and the project is scheduled to be completed in October 2006. There are cost overruns at Orchard that will be at least $200,000. Steel is being directed at the new section at Ponderosa and progress is continuing. The Ponderosa project is also behind schedule with a completion date of March 16, 2006. At Boulder and Rose Park, work has ceased to continue as the contractor is waiting for revised information before work can continue. The project at Meadowlark has slowed down because of submittal of drawings, re-drawings and pricing on value engineering. All of the projects are 3-6 months behind schedule as the review of the plans did not occur in a timely fashion and will be over budget.

 

Trustee Goodrich asked if the District was paying the contractor bills in a timely fashion. Mr. Williams reported the architect has been paid 67% of his total and his subcontractors have been paid. Rich Whitney stated the District is current in their payments. The District only has the agreement to the general contractors on the projects. The District has 45 days to pay and does not sit on any payments.

 

Trustee Goodrich recommended establishing a subcommittee of Board members to review the delays, meet with the administration and architect this week and report back to the Board at next Monday’s meeting on its findings. It was agreed that Trustees Goodrich, Guthals and Mossman would serve on the subcommittee. Trustee Mossman commended Rich Whitney and his staff for their work getting Ponderosa ready for school this fall.
