CORRECTED 26. Title I Program Nonpublic Services Contract with Sylvan Learning Systems
Dr. DeWitt moved to approve the ‘Title I Program Nonpublic Services Contract with Sylvan Learning Systems’ pending negotiation (between District staff, Sylvan and the participating nonpublic schools) of a performance guarantee clause. Motion was seconded by Dr. Jenkins for discussion purposes. Dr. DeWitt noted that the inclusion of a performance guarantee clause (regarding a 15% holdback of payment funds, pending the results of any scholastic program purchased by the District) was “something that the District had done consistently with other software vendors.” He believed that the inclusion of such a clause in this contract, would “ put this vendor on notice that if promises are made, we expect them to be met and if not, 15% of the funds will be held back.” In response to concerns expressed by Dr. Jenkins question, Mr. Wayne Odom, Director of Title I, explained that “the nonpublic schools involved, are already using many of the same evaluation criteria (i.e., nationally norm standardized tests) that is used by public schools.” He explained that the “No Child Left Behind Act” requires that the Local Education Agency conduct consultation meetings with nonpublic school officials. He noted that those consultations resulted in most of the nonpublic schools whose students are served with Title I funds, choosing Sylvan as a third party contractor to provide instructional services on their sites. Upon inquiry by Mr. Bergosh, Mr. Odom stated that “it is a fairly unknown fact that nonpublic schools can choose to participate and the eligible students attending nonpublic schools, who meet the income criteria and live in a Title I public school attendance zone, can earn for that nonpublic school, the same per pupil allocation that the student would earn in public schools.” Mr. Bergosh believed that a performance guarantee clause would provide accountability and “may be something that we need to look at making a Board policy to negotiate these in other similar contracts.” Mrs. Stidham stated that while “we do want this contract to perform and we want the students to learn,” she was concerned that by “asking them to meet some standard in teaching we are in essence, trying to tell them how to run their school.” Ms. Finkelstein did not believe that a performance guarantee clause was unreasonable and stated that she wanted “to be assured that any services rendered there are going to be productive.” Upon inquiry by Mr. Negron, Mr. Odom stated that the omission of paragraph regarding “governing law” was an “oversight” (on the corrected version of the backup document) and that the paragraph would be added to the backup documentation. Motion to approve the ‘Title I Program Nonpublic Services Contract with Sylvan Learning Systems’ (including paragraph 10) pending negotiation (between District staff, Sylvan and the participating nonpublic schools) of a performance guarantee clause, was approved 3 to 2, with Dr. Jenkins and Mrs. Stidham voting “No.”
CORRECTED 27. Escambia County School Readiness Coalition Voucher for School Readiness Services
28. Comprehensive School Reform Title I, Part F Grant
29. Cooperative Agreement between the Children’s Services Center and the School Board of Escambia County
30. Contract for Services with Escarosa Coalition on the Homeless
31. Long Range Plan for Beggs Educational Center
Dr. DeWitt noted that several options were included in the ‘Long Range Plan for Beggs Educational Center’ and questioned whether the Superintendent had recommendation regarding those options. Motion by Dr. DeWitt, seconded by Mrs. Stidham, to “suspend the rules” to allow the Superintendent to present his recommendation (regarding this issue), prior to any motions, was unanimously approved. The Superintendent noted that as a result of previous Board action (July 15, 2002), the A.A. Dixon Elementary School facility was now available to house the Beggs Programs. He recommended that the Beggs Programs be relocated to the A.A. Dixon Elementary School facility for the 2002-2003 school year. Motion by DeWitt, seconded by Mr. Bergosh, to accept the Superintendent’s recommendation, to relocate the Beggs Programs to the A.A. Dixon Elementary School facility for the 2002-2003 school year, was approved 4 to 1, with Dr. Jenkins voting “No.”

9. Request approval to establish the attached job description of Teacher on Special Assignment -–Physical Education, Health, Wellness, Driver Education and Athletics for the 2002-03 school year to be paid from general revenue funds.
Motion was made by Dr. DeWitt, seconded by Ms. Finkelstein, to reject the ‘Request to establish the job description of Teacher on Special Assignment – Physical Education, Health, Wellness, Driver Education and Athletics.’ Dr. DeWitt believed that “right now it is important to keep teachers in the classroom” rather than “pulling them out” for another Teacher on Special Assignment position. Mrs. Stidham stated that while she agreed with Dr. DeWitt that “it was important to keep teachers in the classroom,” she would support the establishment of the position (rather than the motion on the floor) because “it is something that is long overdue.” She believed that if this position was not established, then “more than likely things will not happen that need to occur.” Mr. Bergosh stated that he would support the establishment of the position (rather than the motion on the floor) and hoped that this position would save the District money and improve the athletic program for students. Mr. Bergosh and Mrs. Stidham requested (if the position was approved) that data be provided as soon as possible after the end of the 2002-2003 school year, regarding improvements and cost savings resulting from the establishment of this position. Motion to reject the ‘Request to establish the job description of Teacher on Special Assignment – Physical Education, Health, Wellness, Driver Education and Athletics,’ was approved 3 to 2, with Mrs. Stidham and Mr. Bergosh voting “No.”
Later in the meeting, Dr. Jenkins stated that he had registered an incorrect vote on this item. At the advice of Mr. Negron, motion was by Dr. Jenkins to reconsider the motion to reject the “Request to establish the job description of Teacher on Special Assignment – Physical Education, Health, Wellness, Driver Education and Athletics’.

AMENDED c. Health and Prescription Drug Rates for FY 2002-2003 – Determine Plan and rate changes for budget year
Motion was made by Mrs. Stidham, seconded by Mr. Bergosh, to approve the Health and Prescription Drug Rates for FY 2002-2003.
The Board recognized Ellen Lawrence, UniServe Director, who expressed her concerns regarding this issue. She was concerned that the decision on this item would “affect all employees and yet they have no clue what you are about to vote on.” She stated that the Union had concerns regarding insurance committee meetings and their (Union) “lack of involvement from the beginning.” Mr. Joe Bernard, Director of Risk Management, explained that the projected cost increase for the Health and Prescription Drug Plan was approximately 17%, which would equate to approximately $4,500,000. He stated that in an effort to balance out the increase, the recommended proposal was that the District should absorb $3,000,000 of the increase, while the remaining $1,500,000 would be absorbed by a combination of employee/retiree premium increases and plan changes. He noted that the Insurance Committee had recommended that there be no changes in the health/benefit plan, but rather entirely into the prescription drug program (i.e., adjusted co-pays, adjusted discounts from pharmacies regarding the 90-day drug supply). Mr. Bergosh stated that while this was an “extremely difficult decision,” he would support the recommendation. He believed that “there’s a function out there that is bigger than the Board and that is the rising costs of health care.” He noted that “money we could use for raises is being put into subsidizing the health care and the larger problem is that next year we are probably going to have another increase and if that continues on ten years down the road, we have a huge problem.” Upon request by Mrs. Stidham, the Superintendent and Mr. Bernard stated that information would be provided to employees regarding which prescription drugs fall under which tier (i.e., generic, preferred brand, other brand). Mr. Bernard stated that he could “certainly make every effort to educate our employees and physicians too.”
The Board recognized Mr. Bob Husbands, who expressed his concerns regarding this issue and insurance committee meetings.
Ms. Finkelstein noted that “something that continues to consume us is the rising cost of health care.” Motion approved 4 to 1, with Ms. Finkelstein voting “No.”
