 19.  Request approval to complete submission of the attached 2002-2003 Department Personnel Planning Document with changes from the original pages which were submitted to the April 26, 2002 Board Meeting

 Ms. Finkelstein made the following statement:  “As a point of clarification the Board approved the Superintendent’s recommendation for the 2002-2003 Personnel Planning Document, with amendments by the Board, at its meeting on April 26, 2002.  Therefore, the District does have an approved Personnel Planning Document for 2002-2003 and there is no need to request “approval to complete submission.”  The Superintendent may at anytime request Board approval for changes or amendments to the currently approved Personnel Planning Document and I would suggest that the wording of this recommendation be changed to reflect that issue.”  She then made the following motion regarding the Personnel Planning Document:

1) On page 9 – Approval of establishment of Coordinator – EEOC position

2) On page 9 – Reject addition of Administrative Secretary II position

3) On page 18 – Approval to add notation regarding funding source for thirty-two (32) Teacher Assistant – Special (Bus Aides)

4) On page 22 and page 24 – Reject the addition of “Note 2” and “Note 4” on page 22 and the note for page 24

5) On page 22 – Approval to reestablish two (2) Accountant II positions and one (1) Accountant III position

6) On page 24 – Reject addition of notation

7) On page 36 – Approval of the addition of Manager – Educational Support Personnel position (Job description was approved by the Board at the May 21, 2002 Meeting)

8) On page 30 and 36 – Delete request, as the removal of Human Resource Specialist and Director III – Human Resource Educational Support position from the PPD occurred at the April 26, 2002 Meeting and is not part of the approved PPD

 She further moved that “the 2002-2003 Personnel Planning Document approved by the Board on April 26, 2002 be amended to reflect the above changes.”  Motion was seconded by Dr. Jenkins.  After discussion among staff, the Superintendent and the Board regarding clarification of intent, the motion was approved 4 to 1, with Dr. Jenkins voting “No.”  

ADD   20. Request approval for Juanita Edwards, Intern Assistant Principal, Workman, to work the month of June and to be paid at her regular hourly rate of pay to handle Extended School Year for the ESE Department

ADD   21. Request approval for Joel Day, athletic director, Northview High to work 5 days during the month of June to help align schedules, work on gender equity and to be paid at his regular hourly rate of pay from the athletic budget

ADD   22. Request approval to reestablish the position of a college student effective July 1, 2002

ADD   23. Request approval to establish job description for Manager VII – Central Shipping and Receiving

Motion by Dr. DeWitt, seconded by Ms. Finkelstein, to table Item V.C.1.f.23, “Request approval to establish job description for Manager VII – Central Shipping and Receiving,” was unanimous.

*Dr. DeWitt questioned whether the Superintendent had a recommendation for appointment to the position of Coordinator – EEOC.  (NOTE: Item V.C.1.f.18 “Request approval to establish the attached job description for Coordinator-EEOC” was approved as a part of the Consent Agenda).  Mrs. Stidham questioned whether a recommendation for appointment to that position could be made at the present time, noting that the position vacancy had not been advertised.  Dr. Doug Garber, Director of Human Resource Services, noted that School District Rule states “that all promotional positions for administrative personnel would be advertised.” He explained that this would be considered a “de-motional position” for the individual (Elvin McCorvey) that held the position under the previous job description of ‘Director IIA Affirmative Action’ and therefore, would not require advertisement.  The Superintendent presented his recommendation for appointment of Elvin McCorvey to the position of Coordinator – EEOC.  On motion by Dr. Jenkins, second by Dr. DeWitt, the Superintendent’s recommendation for appointment of Elvin McCorvey to Coordinator – EEOC, was unanimously approved.

B. ITEMS FROM THE BOARD

(Supplementary Minute Book, Exhibit “I”)  

1.  Appointment to Escambia County Planning Board – John DeWitt

Motion made by Dr. DeWitt, seconded by Dr. Jenkins, to appoint Ms. Linda Finkelstein to the Escambia County Planning Board, was unanimous.

2. Agenda – John DeWitt

Dr. DeWitt moved that the Board direct the Superintendent, “to ask staff to pursue obtaining an RFI (“request for information”) with costs, for the Board to consider at the July Regular Board Meeting to implement the eAgenda.”  Mr. Bergosh seconded the motion for discussion purposes.  Dr. DeWitt explained that eAgenda was a method used by several school districts in Florida, for the electronic submission and posting of agendas and supporting documentation, to a web-site specifically designated for such.  He believed that there could be a cost savings associated with implementing a method such as eAgenda, noting that it could reduce the cost of “copying” many sets of “agenda books.”  He believed that it could also increase public awareness regarding agenda items, noting that the public would also have access to the designated web-site.  Mrs. Stidham stated that she could support the motion if it were amended to include a “cost savings analysis.”  Dr. DeWitt and Mr. Bergosh accepted the inclusion of a “cost savings analysis” as a “friendly amendment.”  Mr. Bergosh stated that while he believed that this method could be a “great opportunity for the public” and was “the wave of the future,” he did have concerns regarding the associated costs.  In response to concerns expressed by Mr. Barry Boyer, Purchasing Manager, Dr. DeWitt and Mr. Bergosh agreed to a “friendly amendment” to change the date from “July” to “August.”  Motion to direct the Superintendent, “to ask staff to pursue obtaining an RFI (“request for information”) with costs and a cost savings analysis, for the Board to consider at the August Regular Board Meeting to implement the eAgenda,” was approved unanimously.

ADD    3. Amendment to the Pensacola Beach Elementary School Charter Agreement – John DeWitt

 NOTE: This issue was discussed at the June 6, 2002 Special Meeting

 Motion was made by Dr. DeWitt “to approve the funds ($200,000) for the multi-purpose room for the Pensacola Beach Elementary School and that the funds convey to Pensacola Beach Elementary School on June 30, 2002 for execution and planning for said purpose.  Funds for project will not be expended until an Attorney General’s opinion is received concerning whether building with tax dollars on lease property is legal.”  (NOTE:  Board action from the June 6, 2002 Special Meeting directed Mr. Negron to “seek an opinion from the Attorney General” regarding whether One Half Cent Discretionary Sales Surtax funds under Section 212.055(6) Florida Statutes may be used to fund the Capital Improvement Project, General Renovations project for Pensacola Beach Elementary School.)  Upon inquiry by Dr. DeWitt, Mr. Negron stated that he had not submitted a request to the Attorney General, noting that “at the request of the school (Pensacola Beach Elementary) we are not making that request until they have had the time to cooperate with us on developing.”  In response to inquiries by Mrs. Stidham and Mr. Bergosh, Mr. Negron stated that “Section 212.0556 (Florida Statutes) does not permit you to convey funds from sales tax proceeds to this charter school” but rather “provides for you to build projects - use that money to build facilities, not simply convey the funds.”  Mr. Negron stated that in his opinion, the motion on the floor was “unlawful” and “one that this Board cannot undertake at this time.”  After discussion, Dr. DeWitt withdrew his motion and Mr. Bergosh withdrew the second. 

Motion was made by Dr. DeWitt, seconded by Mr. Bergosh, “to proceed with the Capital Improvement Project, General Renovations with a project budget of $200,000, as approved by the School Board of Escambia County on April 22, 1997, provided that no funds shall be expended by the District towards this project until such time as an opinion issues from the Attorney General indicating that One Half Cent Discretionary Sales Surtax funds under Section 212.055(6) Florida Statutes may be used to fund said project.”  Upon inquiry by Mrs. Stidham, Mr. Negron stated that he believed that the motion “makes it clear that you cannot expend any money towards the project until you get an Attorney General’s opinion – now what does that do to the statement that you’re going to proceed – basically it stops it – but you’ve expressed your intent to move forward with it.”

The Board recognized Jim Blastos, Chairman of the Governing Board for Pensacola Beach Elementary School, who urged the Board to support the motion on floor.

Motion was approved 4 to 1, with Dr. Jenkins voting “No.”

ADD        4. Ultimate PEP Rally – Gary Bergosh

 NOTE: This item was discussed at the May 21, 2002 Regular Meeting

  Motion was made by Mr. Bergosh, seconded by Mrs. Stidham, to allow the Ultimate PEP Rally, (as outlined in the information provided to the Board) to occur during the 2002-2003 school year. Dr. DeWitt offered a substitute motion that “the School Board commend the organizers of the Ultimate PEP Rally for their concern, vision and leadership for the safety and welfare of our students and that the School Board strongly endorse the message of non-violence, civility and respect in our schools and our communities” and “that the School Board recognize the efforts of the organizers of the Ultimate PEP Rally by permitting the event to be held on individual school sites during school hours or after school hours, to permit both students and their working parents to attend.  Should the event be held after hours at a central facility such as the (Pensacola) Civic Center, the School District may make transportation available for this event at cost.”  Substitute motion was seconded by Dr. Jenkins.  Mrs. Stidham believed that the Ultimate PEP Rally was a “positive” event for students and stated that she would support the original motion which would allow the event to be held at a central facility (Pensacola Civic Center) during school hours.  Mr. Bergosh believed that holding the event on individual school sites, would “make it difficult to coordinate the busy schedules of all the athletes” that would be involved.  He urged the Board to support the original motion which would allow the event to occur at a central facility (Pensacola Civic Center).

The Board recognized Chris Sawyer and Jeff Godfrey, both of Athletes in Action of West Florida (sponsors of the ‘Ultimate PEP Rally’), who expressed their concerns with holding the event on individual school sites.  They urged the Board to support the original motion which would allow the event to occur at a central facility (Pensacola Civic Center).

Upon inquiry by Dr. Jenkins, Mr. Godfrey stated that all ‘speakers’ involved in the event, would sign and adhere to the ‘Agreement and Guidelines for Guest Speakers’ as provided by the District.  He also stated that “they are willing to do the entire presentation before the Board” to ensure that this event does not have a “religious” theme.  Ms. Finkelstein stated that she did support the concept of the event and had no concerns regarding whether the event was held during or after school hours.  She noted that the information provided to the Board was the same information that was presented at the May Regular Meeting, with a “simple addition of the guidelines for guest speakers form.” She had concerns with the “invitation” to the “evening religious (non-denominational) event,” noting that “whether or not a child is invited to something or has an opportunity to go, if everybody in the county is going and they are not going that still is a concern to me.” She believed that the event should include “all” students and stated that she would be willing to support the event if a written proposal was submitted “spelling out exactly what you are going to be doing.”  Substitute motion failed 3 to 2, with Mr. Bergosh, Mrs. Stidham and Dr. Jenkins voting “No.”  Original motion was approved 3 to 2, with Dr. DeWitt and Ms. Finkelstein voting “No.”

ADD  5.  Staffing Requests – Linda Finkelstein

 Ms. Finkelstein moved to “request the Superintendent to create a non-instructional position at Molino/Barrineau Park Elementary.”  Dr. DeWitt seconded the motion for discussion purposes.  Ms. Finkelstein noted that both Molino Elementary and Barrineau Park Elementary schools “share the same principal.”  She believed that due to the fact that the principal would “now be involved in the coordinating of the construction of a new school (K-8 Molino/Barrineau Park) it would be appropriate to create a position to provide some non-instructional help.”  The Superintendent noted that he had discussed this issue with Ms. Finkelstein “but we did not discuss exactly what type of position that would be.”  He stated that while he was not opposed to the motion, he would like to have the opportunity to discuss the issue with staff.  After discussion, Ms. Finkelstein withdrew her motion and Dr. DeWitt withdrew the second.

NOTE:  The following issue was discussed at the April 26, 2002 Special Meeting

 Motion was made by Ms. Finkelstein, seconded by Dr. Jenkins, to “retain the counselor at Woodham High School.”   Ms. Finkelstein explained that Woodham High School would lose one guidance counselor (a reduction from four (4) to three (3) guidance counselors for the 2002-2003 school year) which would be (due to seniority) the only minority counselor at Woodham High School.  Mrs. Stidham noted that many schools with larger student populations than Woodham High School “could probably use an extra guidance counselor” and stated that she “did not want to give Woodham one and not take into consideration the needs of other schools.”  Mr. Paul Fetsko, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, explained that guidance counselors were allocated based on student population, which was the “reason that Woodham would lose one.”  He noted that the staffing allocation was “set up to be fair and equitable for every school” and believed that the motion on the floor would “treat one school differently from the rest.”  After discussion, the motion was approved 3 to 2, with Mr. Bergosh and Mrs. Stidham voting “No.” 

C.  ITEMS FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT

(Supplementary Minute Book, Exhibit “J”)

1. Student Recommendations

 Motion was made by Ms. Finkelstein, seconded by Mrs. Stidham, to approve the Superintendent’s recommendation for student expulsion, Item 1 (Student Number 02-135-281).

Upon inquiry by Dr. DeWitt, Mr. Negron explained that “the Board, in order to reduce or modify the recommended penalties (as presented by the Superintendent), has to review the entire record and has to state with particularity, the reasons for changing the penalty and has to justify those reasons by citing to the record.”  Dr. DeWitt suggested that Mr. Michael consult with the Superintendent regarding his request.  Motion was approved unanimously.

Motion by Mrs. Stidham, seconded by Dr. Jenkins, to approve the Superintendent’s recommendations for student expulsion, Items 2 through 25, Items 27 through 29 and Item 31, and to grant a formal hearing for Items 26 and 30, was unanimous.
