Ms. Finkelstein called the Regular Meeting to order at 6:15 p.m.  The Superintendent listed the additions, deletions, amendments and corrections to the agenda. (see margin notes)  Due to time constraints, Ms. Finkelstein requested that the Superintendent’s recommendations for Administrative Appointments (Item VII.B.1, “Administrative Appointments”) be moved forward on the agenda immediately following Section II, “Proposed Additions or Revisions to School District Rules.”  On motion made by Mrs. Stidham and seconded by Dr. DeWitt, adoption of the agenda as amended, was approved unanimously.

 

(NOTE: Later in the meeting, Dr. DeWitt suggested, and the Board agreed, that in the future, the Superintendent’s recommendations for “Administrative Appointments” should be handled at the beginning of the agenda rather than the end.)

ADD        43.   Scientific Learning “Fast ForWord” Software for Various Schools

 

(NOTE: This item was previously addressed at the August 15, 2003 Regular Workshop.)  Dr. DeWitt advised that he would abstain from voting on this item and had filed a Memorandum of Voting Conflict Form.  Motion was made by Mrs. Stidham, seconded by Mrs. Bergosh, to approve Scientific Learning “Fast ForWord” Software for Various Schools.  Ms. Finkelstein noted that there had been discussion at the August 15, 2003 Regular Workshop pertaining to the option of a “lease purchase” rather than an outright “purchase” and questioned whether there was any resolution to that issue.  Mr. John Dombroskie, Director of Purchasing, advised that a “lease purchase” was still an option and that the “lease purchase” documents had been submitted to Mr. Negron for his review and approval.  Mrs. Yvonne Gray, Director of Exceptional Student Education (ESE), expressed her support of a “lease purchase” rather than an outright “purchase,” as it (“lease purchase”) would allow for the District to serve more students at additional sites.  She pointed out however, that the item listed on the agenda was for the outright “purchase” not a “lease purchase.”  Mr. Negron did not anticipate any problems with the “lease purchase” documents, however he stated that he would review them “right away” and suggested that the Board schedule a Special Meeting to consider the issue, if in fact it was their desire to “lease purchase” rather than outright “purchase.”  Mrs. Bergosh was concerned that “if we wait any longer, our children are going to suffer – the sooner we could get started on this the better.”  Motion failed 3 to 1, with Ms. Finkelstein, Mrs. Stidham, and Mr. Clark voting “No” and Dr. DeWitt abstaining from vote.

      (NOTE: This issue was previously addressed at the August 7, 2003 Emergency Meeting and the August 15, 2003 Regular Workshop.)  Motion was made by Mrs. Stidham, seconded by Mr. Clark, to reinstate the bus stops that were serviced by six (6) routes that were eliminated from Escambia High School.  Mr. Clark offered a “friendly amendment” to the motion the floor, which was accepted by Mrs. Stidham, to also reinstate the bus stops that were serviced by two (2) routes that were eliminated from Montclair Elementary School.  Mrs. Stidham then reiterated concerns expressed at previous meetings regarding student safety (i.e., walking conditions) specifically addressing the eliminated bus stops that pertained to the Escambia High School area.  Dr. DeWitt offered a “friendly amendment” to the motion on the floor, which was accepted by Mrs. Stidham, to also add an afternoon trunk routing stop at Ferry Pass Middle School for magnet programs.  Dr. DeWitt explained the rationale for the “friendly amendment” regarding Ferry Pass Middle School noting a situation that related to the issue of student safety.  Mrs. Bergosh made the following statement: “We have a professional staff that constantly evaluates walking zones for issues regarding student safety.  If we are going to ignore the professionals within our Transportation Department, then we will go down the path of doubling our transportation budget, which could cost the District more and more millions of dollars.”  Referring to the motion on the floor (as amended), Mrs. Bergosh expressed her belief that the Board would “need to go back and look at every student in every walk zone, not just particular students in certain walk zones.”  Mr. Shawn Dennis, Director of Transportation, noted that the District “has dedicated walk zones” and noted that the Transportation Department was simply trying to enforce those.  He agreed with Mrs. Bergosh that “if we establish a precedence, then we in fact do have to go through and look at every single walk zone.”  Ms. Finkelstein questioned whether the Board felt that if a student was within the dedicated walk zone, that it was the “parents responsibility for getting them to school safety” and if outside the walk zone, then the District was “responsible for their transportation and for making it the safest route as possible.”  Motion was approved 4 to 1, with Ms. Finkelstein voting “No.”

1.   Cordova Park Elementary School Advisory Council’s Request for Waiver of Portion of School Dress Code – John DeWitt

 

      (NOTE: This item refers to School District Rule 6Gx17-7.17 – Student Dress Code, specifically to section (4)(A)(2), District-Wide Uniform Standard, which included the following statements: “The District’s uniform shall consist of solid colored khaki, navy or black trousers, skirts, shorts, skorts or jumpers.  Shirts shall be collared and will be solid white, red, or dark blue and worn tucked in.”)    Motion was made by Dr. DeWitt, seconded by Mrs. Stidham, “to grant a waiver to Cordova Park Elementary on the portion of the student dress code that deals with the requirement of shirts to be tucked in, for the 2003-2004 school year only.”  Mr. Negron ruled the motion “out of order,” noting that there was “no provision for the waiver of a School Board rule.”  He advised however, that “if unhappy with the rule, the Board can engage in the appropriate process to offer an amendment to the rule and eliminate whatever provision they are unhappy with.”  Dr. DeWitt stated that he would propose an amendment to School District Rule 6Gx17-7.17 – Student Dress Code (specifically to section (4)(A)(2), District-Wide Uniform Standard) at the September Regular Meeting.
