Board Members expressed their appreciation to Mr. Sansing, for this agreement and for his continued support of public education.
A. Open Discussion
The Board and Superintendent discussed the following issues:
1) Contracting Authority – Dr. DeWitt stated that Board Members had received a letter from the Superintendent requesting clarification on contracting authority. Mr. Negron asked for clarification from the Board regarding his review of contracts. Mrs. Stidham suggested that all contracts be submitted to Mr. Negron for review regardless of dollar amount. Mr. Barry Boyer, Director of Purchasing, stated that his department considers some contracts as routine, but noted that in cases where there are concerns regarding contract language, those contracts are submitted to Mr. Negron for his review and advice. Clarification was also requested as to whether or not purchase orders should be considered contracts and if so, should they be subject to review. Mr. Sam Scallan, Internal Auditor, explained that there are numerous contracts that schools enter into and noted that the Board might want to consider delegating some contracting authority to school principals. Mr. Negron explained that the Board could consider delegating some contracting authority in the interest of administrative efficiency, but noted that there would be a liability risk inherent in doing so. Mrs. Stidham suggested that Mr. Negron review all contracts regardless of dollar amount, for a trial period of one month. After discussion, the Board collectively agreed to have Mr. Negron, working with Mr. Sam Scallan, review a sampling of contracts from the month of June 2001 and then to provide a recommendation to the Board, regarding the value of reviewing all contracts and a possible policy regarding the appropriate handling of contracts. Dr. Jenkins asked that review of contracts being signed by principals be included in the review and recommendation.
2) Method for Communication between Board Members, Staff and the Superintendent – Ms. Finkelstein suggested that either the School Board Member or the staff member contact the Superintendent, whenever a conversation or meeting between the two, might affect the operation of the district. The Superintendent agreed with this process as an appropriate way to be informed and stated that he would issue a memorandum to staff members regarding this new process.
3) Assistant Superintendent for Financial and Business Affairs – Upon question from Ms. Finkelstein, the Superintendent stated that this position would be advertised by September 1, 2001.
4) Lead Money – Ms. Finkelstein noted that pre-k teachers [excluding pre-k Exceptional Student Education (ESE) teachers] do not receive Lead Money, which is funded by the State. Ms. Finkelstein asked if the district had ever funded Lead Money for pre-k teachers out of its own budget and suggested that the district consider doing so if possible. Ms. Barbara Linker, Director of Budgeting, stated that the district had never funded Lead Money for pre-k teachers but noted that it was possible to do so. She also explained that adult education teachers do not receive Lead Money. She explained that Lead Money is funded through the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP) and noted that pre-k programs (excluding pre-k ESE) are funded through the Pre-K Readiness Coalition and adult education programs are funded through Workforce Development. She explained that pre-k ESE teachers do receive Lead Money because their program is funded by Florida Education Finance Program. Upon request from Ms. Finkelstein, Ms. Linker, stated that she would provide data regarding number of pre-k (excluding pre-k ESE) and adult education teachers and the total amount required to fund Lead Money for those teachers.
5) Camera/VCR Systems for School Buses – Ms. Finkelstein noted that, at a previous meeting (July 16, 2001 Board Workshop), Ms. Linker stated she was trying to find an alternative funding source, other than General Fund, for Camera/VCR Systems for school buses. Ms. Linker stated that she was able to identify funds in the Two-Mill budget that could be used to purchase the systems.
6) Hearing Officer Panel – Dr. Jenkins expressed his concerns that the current Hearing Officer Panel only included one (1) minority attorney. He expressed his desire to have at least two (2) minority attorneys on the panel. Mr. Negron stated that although not required by law, the district does choose to hire only lawyers that are certified hearing officers. He suggested that Dr. Jenkins try to recruit other minority attorneys to get their certification to serve as hearing officers, so that they can be considered in the selection process. Dr. DeWitt requested that Mr. Negron supply Dr. Jenkins with the list of certified Hearing Officers.
7) Light-Duty Workers – Dr. DeWitt questioned the possibility of having light-duty workers supervise students waiting at school bus stops (on school property) in the early morning. Mr. Joe Bernard, Director of Risk Management, stated that he was currently working on this issue. Ms. Ellen Lawrence, Director of Escambia NEA UniServ, noted light-duty workers, as members of certain bargaining units, are to have limited responsibility for the supervision of students. She noted that she would work with the district on this issue.
8) FACT (Funds Available for Classroom Teachers) Committee – Upon questions from Ms. Finkelstein, the Superintendent stated that he had chose to wait until after the School Board and Superintendent Retreat to put this committee together.
9) 24 Credits for Cyesis Program – Upon question by Mrs. Stidham, Mr. Paul Fetsko, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, stated that the Pupil Progression Plan would need to be amended, to require all students enrolled in an alternative high school program, to complete 24 credits, in order to receive a standard high school diploma. He noted that he would inform the Board as to when that amendment would be presented to the Board for approval.
II. COMMENTS FROM SUPERINTENDENT
The Superintendent listed the additions, deletions and amendments to the agenda. Ms. Finkelstein stated that she would add School Board Rule 6Gx17-7.02 – Grooming and Dress of Students for permission to advertise (under heading VII.A.a.). Mr. Bergosh stated that he would add School Board Rule 6Gx17-6.02(2)(a) – Eligibility for Transportation, for permission to adopt emergency rule change (under heading VII.A.c).

(Item Number VII.B.1 on Regular Meeting Agenda)
Ms. Beverly Erdwins, Secretary, Brown Barge Middle School, explained the step-by-step process for student selection referring to a handout that she provided to the Board (Supplementary Minute Book, Exhibit “A”).

The Board collectively agreed that enrollment procedures used in past years by Brown Barge, should remain in effect with no changes for this school year.

Dr. DeWitt stated that in the past, the Board had not supported the approval of 4th Year Annual contracts with the exception of those individuals working on their certification.

1. Bid Award: Charter Bus Services, Bid # 015703
Dr. Jenkins expressed his concerns that although there were minority (black) companies included on the choice list for charter buses, they had not received requests for service in the past. He suggested that a numerical list be formed to provide charter services on a rotating basis, thus ensuring that minority (black) companies would be selected for services. Mrs. Stidham noted that groups of students and parents are usually responsible for raising money for special trips. She expressed her concern that having to select companies from a rotating list would force certain groups to choose a more expensive charter bus service than others. She believed that groups should be allowed to choose companies based on price rather than from a rotating list. Mr. Barry Boyer, Director of Purchasing, explained that bus companies are solicited for information, screened for capabilities and arranged on a list in order of price. He further explained that the list is distributed to all schools with instructions to call the first bus service on the list because they have shown to be most economical. The Superintendent suggested that he, Dr. Jenkins, Mr. Norm Ross, Deputy Superintendent and Mr. Boyer schedule a meeting to further discuss this issue.

Dr. DeWitt noted that the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) for Curriculum and Technology would review this issue at their next meeting. Ms. Finkelstein and Dr. Jenkins expressed their concerns regarding the McDaniel/Hall Center Consolidation. Dr. DeWitt stated that this issue could possibly be included in the One-Half Cent Sales Tax but suggested that the Board postpone this item for approximately a year. After discussion, the Board collectively agreed to pull this item from the agenda.
9. McReynolds Property
Mrs. Stidham stated the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) for Facilities recommended the sale of the McReynolds Property based on the results obtained from a property appraisal.

The Superintendent expressed his concerns regarding leasing another facility, to house the three programs, when the McReynolds Center was available. Mrs. Stidham requested a cost analysis of the three programs. Mr. Taylor stated that he would provide that information.
Dr. DeWitt, for the record, commended all staff for a successful opening of school.
F. STUDENT TRANSFERS
Dr. DeWitt had concerns that the transfer committee had approved transfers for students to attend N.B. Cook Elementary. He noted that as a magnet school, students are required to submit an application for enrollment. He and Ms. Finkelstein expressed their concerns regarding approved transfer requests, which supercede students on a waiting list who followed the application process.

She noted that in the past it was believed that the District was required to supply a surplus bus to a charter school if requested to do so by the charter school. She noted that she discussed this issue with Mr. Negron, and suggested that the Board first consider holding those buses for auction before disposition. Dr. Jenkins believed that surplus buses should first be offered to charter schools, and if not accepted, should then be held for auction.

Dr. DeWitt noted that the Superintendent’s recommendation included two employees in the position of Director of Transportation. The Superintendent noted that one employee was acting as Director of Transportation on a temporary basis.

The Superintendent stated that he would amend his recommendation to reflect the concerns raised by Dr. DeWitt. Dr. DeWitt noted that the same concerns applied to the position of Principal at Spencer Bibbs Elementary School. The Superintendent stated that he would amend that recommendation as well.
3. Student Recommendations
2) Recommend that the Board rescind its previous approval of the Superintendent’s continuing recommendation for expulsion for student number 01-100-521 and that the student be granted the right to request a formal hearing.
Mr. Negron stated that the parents of student number 01-100-521, had asserted through their attorney, that they had based their original decision to decline a formal hearing, on misinformation they received from a charter school. He believed that it would incumbent upon those individuals, to specifically state and prove to the Board, that in fact a true misrepresentation was intentionally made, that coerced them into making the decision on not to challenge the Superintendent’s recommendation for expulsion. He advised the Board not to approve a request for a formal hearing.
