16. Request to establish the attached job description of Assistant Director-Custodial Services on the Professional Salary Schedule.

Motion was made by Mrs. Stidham, to approve the “job description of Assistant Director-Custodial Services on the Professional Salary Schedule, with Qualification (2) to read: Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management or other related fields preferred. Experience will substitute for the degree in Business Management.” Ms. Finkelstein seconded the motion for discussion purposes. Mrs. Stidham noted that the job description for this position also required a “minimum of four (4) years progressively responsible experience in school-based custodial operations of which two (2) years should have been in the supervision or administration of a custodial services program [Qualification (3)].” She was concerned that “it may be difficult to find somebody with all of these qualifications” and therefore, she believed that “experience” should be allowed to substitute for the “degree in Business Management.” In response to concerns expressed by Mr. Ted Kirchharr, Assistant Superintendent for Operations, Mrs. Stidham clarified that the intent of her motion was to require a “degree”, however experience could substitute for a “degree in Business Management.” Dr. DeWitt referred to Qualification (1) which read: “Graduation from high school or possession of a GED.” He believed that “qualification” should be deleted, as it could be assumed that a “person has graduated from high school if they have a Bachelor’s degree.” For clarity’s sake, Mr. Kirchharr suggested and Mrs. Stidham agree, that Qualification (2) should read: “Bachelor’s degree required. Degree in Business Management or other related fields preferred. Experience will substitute for the degree in Business Management.” Ms. Finkelstein reiterated her concern from the July 21, 2003 Regular Workshop, as to whether the pay grade for this position was adequate given the qualifications that were required. Mr. Kirchharr stated that the District was comfortable with the pay grade as listed.

The Board recognized Ellen Lawrence, Director of Escambia NEA UniServe, who did not believe that the pay grade for this position “would attract somebody who would be able to adequately do this job.”

Motion was approved unanimously.

17. Request approval to establish the attached job description of Support Personnel Recruiter for Food Services on the Professional Salary Schedule.

Motion was made by Mrs. Stidham to reject the establishment of the “job description of Support Personnel Recruiter for Food Services on the Professional Salary Schedule.” Motion was seconded by Dr. DeWitt for discussion purposes. Mrs. Stidham noted that this position was deleted from the Personnel Planning Document for 2003-2004, when it was approved at the May 20, 2003 Regular Meeting. She noted that staff and the Superintendent were given an opportunity to present “justification” for the reinstatement of this position at that time, however, “none of that occurred.” Mr. Ted Kirchharr, Assistant Superintendent for Operations, explained that this was a very needed position to recruit, research, interview, screen and refer food service job candidates for job openings. He noted that this was a “incredibly time-consuming, labor-intensive” position and he did not believe that the duties of this position could be placed “on top of the existing food service staff who are already very over-burdened.” Mrs. Stidham withdrew the motion and Dr. DeWitt withdrew the second. Motion was made by Mrs. Stidham, seconded by Dr. DeWitt, to “allow the position of Support Personnel Recruiter for Food Services on the Personnel Planning Document for one (1) year and at the end of that year, re-address the situation and in the interim, determine if there are other methods to resolve this situation.” Mrs. Stidham noted that a “qualification” for “graduation from high school or possession of a GED” would need to be added to the job description for this position. Motion was approved unanimously.

18. For Information Only: Realignment of duties and salary adjustment (2 steps) for Linda English, Administrative Assistant to Superintendent, to compensate for additional responsibilities effective May 1, 2003.

e. Health/Prescription Plan – Effective 10/1/03

Motion was made by Mrs. Stidham, seconded by Mrs. Bergosh, to approve the Health/Prescription Plan, effective October 1, 2003. Board Members had various concerns regarding the negative impact that the funding and plan changes (for the Health/Prescription Plan) would have on employees, but noted that there was “really no choice” other than to approve them.

Mr. Kevin Windham, Director of Risk Management, and Mr. Chuck Toban, representative of Gallagher Benefit Services, Inc. (GBS), briefly reviewed the proposal prepared by GBS (provided in the backup documentation for this item) regarding the health/prescription plan. Mr. Windham noted that the Employee Benefit Trustees and the Insurance Committee had approved the proposal.

The Board recognized Madonna Jackson-Williams, President of Escambia Education Association (EEA) and Bob Husbands, Executive Director of Escambia NEA UniServe, who addressed various concerns regarding this issue.

Motion was approved unanimously.

AMENDED f. Consent Order for George Stone Firing Range

Motion was made by Mrs. Stidham, seconded by Dr. DeWitt, to table the Consent Order for the George Stone Firing Range, was approved unanimously.

Motion by Mrs. Stidham, seconded by Dr. DeWitt, to waive “any potential conflict of interest with the Clark, Partington, Hart, Larry, Bond and Stackhouse firm and to direct Mr. Negron to seek environmental counsel,” was approved unanimously.

Motion was made by Mrs. Stidham, seconded by Dr. DeWitt, to “give sixty (60) day notice to the County that we are terminating the lease on the Firing Range.” Mrs. Stidham reiterated her concerns from the July 21, 2003 Regular Workshop, that she was not “willing to stay in the Firing Range business” and therefore, would “just assume terminate the lease.” Mr. Tommy Taylor, Director of Alternative Education, requested a date of November 1, 2003 rather than sixty (60) days, as the extra time was needed for transitional purposes. Mrs. Stidham offered a “friendly amendment” to the motion, to “notify the County that we are terminating the lease on the Firing Range as of November 1, 2003.” Dr. DeWitt accepted the “friendly amendment.” Motion as amended was approved unanimously.

VII. NEW BUSINESS

As previously requested by Ms. Finkelstein, the following item was moved forward on the agenda:

Superintendent’s recommendation for appointment to the position of Director of Evaluation Services (included as part of Item VII.B.1, “Administrative Appointments”)

The Superintendent presented his recommendation for the administrative appointment of Malcolm Thomas from Coordinator/Program Planning, to Director/Evaluation Services, effective July 1, 2003. Mrs. Stidham moved to reject the Superintendent’s recommendation for the administrative appointment of Malcolm Thomas from Coordinator/Program Planning, to Director/Evaluation Services, effective July 1, 2003. Motion died for lack of a second. Motion was made by Mrs. Bergosh, seconded by Dr. DeWitt, to accept the Superintendent’s recommendation for appointment of Malcolm Thomas from Coordinator/Program Planning, to Director/Evaluation Services, effective July 1, 2003. Mrs. Stidham stated that she had no concerns with Mr. Thomas’ ability to perform the duties of that position, however, she did have concerns that all of the qualifications of the job description were not met. She also noted that staff had indicated that several of the qualifications were not necessary, and if that was the case, then she believed that a request to revise the job description should have been made. She noted that on several occasions recently, similar situations had occurred where the Board had been asked to approve the appointment of individuals who did meet all of the qualifications of a job description. Dr. DeWitt did agree with Mrs. Stidham regarding the need to revise a job description if the qualifications listed were not necessary and suggested that the Board develop a policy regarding that issue. However, he did believe that in this instance, that Mr. Thomas was the “right person for the job” and therefore, he would support the Superintendent’s recommendation. Mrs. Bergosh agreed that the Board should develop a policy regarding the concerns expressed, however she did not believe that those issues should be “tied” to this particular appointment, and therefore, she would support the Superintendent’s recommendation. Mr. Clark believed that it was “going to become very imperative to look at job descriptions,” as the Board was going to have “to be consistent in what we do.” Ms. Finkelstein agreed that the Board should develop a policy regarding the concerns expressed, however, she did believe that Mr. Thomas would “do a great job for the District,” and therefore, she would support the Superintendent’s recommendation. Motion was approved 4 to 1, with Mrs. Stidham voting “No.”

A. ITEMS FROM THE BOARD

1. Creation of School Choice Office – Linda Finkelstein

Motion was made by Ms. Finkelstein, seconded by Mrs. Stidham, for “Creation of School Choice Office” (as outlined in the backup documentation). Ms. Finkelstein reviewed her proposal (as outlined in the backup documentation), which called for the creation of a “School Choice Office,” which would basically serve as a one-stop office that would provide parents with information on all District schools (i.e., school programs, magnet schools, geographical location and racial diversity). She explained that the “School Choice Office” would be comprised of the Director II of Comprehensive Planning Grants Management and School Improvement (existing position), the Director IV of Evaluation Services (existing position) and the Office of School Choice Coordinator (which would be an upgrade of the current Demographic Mapping Technician position). Mrs. Bergosh stated that she had “several questions about this” and therefore, would not support the motion on the floor at that time. Dr. DeWitt suggested and Ms. Finkelstein was not opposed, to having the Director IV of Evaluation Services report directly to the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction (rather than the Director II of Comprehensive Planning, as outlined in the backup documentation) and Visiting Teachers report directly to the Director IV of Evaluation Services (rather than the Director II of Comprehensive Planning, as outlined in the job description for that position). Mr. Paul Fetsko, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, stated that he was “not opposed to anything” in Ms. Finkelstein’s proposal, however, he did suggest that Health Services report directly to the Director IV of Evaluation Services. He also referred to Qualification (2) of the job description for the Coordinator of School Choice Officer, which read: “Possess a valid certificate for levels 1 and 2 ArcView Training for redistricting modules and a minimum of eight (8) years data entry and computer operations.” He noted that Qualification (2) was “very specific” and believed that it needed to “be more general, as tomorrow this may be upgraded to a different (mapping and zoning software) program and then ArcView may no longer be in existence.” He suggested and Ms. Finkelstein was not opposed, to a revision to Qualification (2) to read “Possess a valid certificate or training in mapping and zoning software.” Dr. Doug Garber, Assistant Superintendent for Human Resource Services, questioned whether the intent of the proposal was to abolish the position of the Demographic Mapping Technician and to create the position of Coordinator of School Choice Officer. Ms. Finkelstein stated “if we want to call it abolishing and creating (rather than upgrading) that is fine with me, but what I am not doing is keeping it open (the position of Demographic Mapping Technician) – it is not there anymore.” In answer to Dr. Garber’s question, Ms. Finkelstein confirmed that the position of Coordinator of School Choice Officer would need to be advertised if the proposal were approved. Ms. Finkelstein restated her motion for the “Creation of School Choice Office” (as outlined in the backup documentation) with the following changes: Director IV of Evaluation Services reporting directly to the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction; Guidance, Media Textbooks, Health Services and Visiting Teachers reporting directly to the Director IV of Evaluation Services. Dr. DeWitt questioned whether Ms. Finkelstein’s proposal was similar to the information (proposal) submitted by the Superintendent at the July 21, 2003 Regular Workshop. The Superintendent stated that it was “close” and noted that “if my staff is satisfied with it, then I’m satisfied with it.”

Motion was approved unanimously.

Dr. DeWitt offered a substitute motion, to

Conclusions of law except the recommended penalty – 3) rejecting the recommended penalty in its entirety because 1) this is an isolated situation and was done at the end of the middle school year 2) the students will be attending a different school next year and different high school 3) the punishment is a very long term kind of a punishment – the drugs were not the kind that we normally assume with drugs like narcotics – like cocaine or marijuana – it was a prescription – a misuse of a prescription – but it was a prescription – 4) finding that the board has reviewed the recording in its entirety – which is the transcripts that were provided – 5) finding that the board’s reason for rejecting the recommended penalty are supported by the following portions of the record – a) medication was distributed only by one person 2) students were expelled for the remainder of the 8^th grade – and 3) students have expressed sincere regrets – parents have committed to punish and to follow up and watch their children – it is therefore my recommendation that the Board substitute the following penalty in lieu of the one recommended by the hearing officer – 1) that the 6 students that I mentioned be placed on probation for the entire freshman year at their respective high schools that have accepted them or in the district they live – 2) should any of these six students have any disciplinary problems requiring a referral to the dean or principal that she will be immediately expelled from the public school for the remainder of her freshman year but may apply to an alternative school – this substitute penalty is more reasonable than the recommended penalty because it poses a longer term penalty – a probationary period – yet allows the student to achieve her educational goals without disrupting her high school program – secondly it recognizes the seriousness of the incident – allows the students to assume responsibility for their behavior and makes them responsible for any consequences and further consequences if such misbehavior should happen again in their freshman year. Motion died for lack of second.

Motion to adopt in part and modify in part hearing officer’s recommended order - I move that the board as its final order the recommended order of the hearing officer in the cases involved students BM JP CJ KC RR and AW and enter an order 1) adopting all the hearing officer’s recommended Findings of Fact as the Board’s findings of fact; 2) adopting all the recommended Conclusions of Law except the Recommended Penalty; 3) rejecting the Recommended Penalty in its entirety because: a) isolated situation and done at end of middle school b) studnets will be attending different school (high) in the fall c) punishment is long term, drugs were not narcotic (marjuana or cocaine) prescription 4) finding that the Board has reviewed the recording in its entirety 5) finding that the Board’s reasons for rejecting the Recommended Penalty are supported by the following portions of the record: a) medication was distributed by only one person b) studnets were expelled for remainder of eighth grade c) students have expressed sincere regrets parents have committed to punish and watch

Dewitt – think taking a medication a stupid medication is just not the same as some of the other offenses that we’ve expelled – they were model students up until this one incident and believed that it was totally unfair to impose such a severe penalty on these six students – believed that the Board needed to show some mercy – they’ve certainly expressed their sorrow – their parents have punished them – believed they had been severely punished. Mrs. Stidham, Mrs. Bergosh and Mr. Clark – concerns over the message that we would be sending – some cases we’ll give you that punishment and some cases we won’t – consistency.

The Board recognized Sheila Romaine – zero tolerance.

Finkelstein – do believe in second chances – if we don’t like the zero tolerance then we need to change it but this is not the place to do that. Motion was approved 4 to 1, with DeWitt voting “No.”
