The board will encourage continuity of programs and experiences for students that include a positive transition, between and among elementary, fifth year center, middle, and senior high school- levels. Dr. Payzant stated that it was customary for the Bbard to adopt goals for the upcoming school year, and the reason for doing so in January_was t^sset the direction for the district for the coming year in time to allow the budgeTHjiaking process to unfold with the board goals in place to set the expectations of the Board for the district. He added that-he had presented the 1981-82 goals and was suggesting that they take the time to review them and "Offer any suggestions that they might want the Board to consider by way of deleting existing goals on that list from the list adopted for 1982-83 and suggesting new goals that they might like to add to -the 1982-83 list. He also stated that the proposed goals would then be presented to the Board at the January 18 meeting for their consideration and action and they would be included in the document customarily printed at the end of January which included a report on the current year's goals and objectives, next year's goals and objectives, and the annual report of the Superintendent. Mrs*. Darrell commented that she did not find any problems with the goals that were listed and therefore she“did not have any to suggest for deletion, but that she would like for the Board to consider adding two more goals, as follows, with the objectives to be worked out at a future time:
(1)
The board will encourage and support the purchase of goods and services from minority businesses and professionals.
(2)
The board will study and evaluate the distribution and locationsof schools in the elementary grades (K through 5) to determine a more equitable geographic and grade configuration.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
1981-82 Board Goals Presented for Establishment of 1982-83 Goals - For Action at January 18 Meetinjg cont'd
After Mrs. Hill asked Mrs. Darrell to elaborate on the second goal that she submitted, IMrs. Darrell stated that it was with respect to a concern that was continually expressed in her district, that since the district is no longer under court order and since the district was still dealing with a plan that was basically of the court's order, that there was a sentiment, and she felt also, that there was a great possibility that if they took a look at that, they might be able to determine that there were schools either on fringe areas that could become stand-alone schools or schools that through a different configunat/inn could facilitate and enhance the reduction of busing on elementary-age children, because of the major shifts in population in Oklahoma City. She added that it may or may not be, but she thought it would be worthy of their taking a look at it; that they might find that there were some areas where they could move to developing some additional stand-alone schools, which probably would enhance the return of additional people moving into boundaries of 1-89. Mrs. Darrell mentioned that it did happen in the real estate community and other things, that you don't move in 1-89 or your kids will be bused forever, for every day of their life, and it’might be that if they took a look at it, they might find..that little by little they could come up with a plan that over the next so many years they might be able to considerably reduce the busing arrangement.
Mrs. Hill inquired as to if she was thinking of the K through 5 stand-alone schools, after which Mrs. Darrell stated that she did not have any preconceived notions, but really wanted them to take a look at the situation and see if there were some possibilities of any different kinds of configurations. With *reference to the last time the district had looked at student assignments, Dr. Tayzant stated that they looked at configurations and student reassignments two yedrs ago; that they adopted a student assignment plan and at that time made a commitment to try to stick with it for three to four years; that the plan was actually implemented in the 1980-^1 school year, which would make the current year the second school year that the district had operated under that new assignment plan.
Commenting with regard to Goal 8, Mrs. Hill stated that as the Superintendent had mentioned in his memorandum to the Board, they might want to consider deleting it since they now had a plan.
After Mrs. Hermes stated that she had two objectives that she wanted to present but inquired as to whether they were to address themselves merely to goals or to objectives also, Dr. Payzant replied that he would like for them to address both; that they needed to formally adopt the board goals and then give him some direction on the administrative objectives; that he had not in the past asked the Board to actually a,dopt-the administrative objectives as a board but to hold him accountable for them. He added, however, that he was eager to have their suggestions for objectives that might be considered under goals that they set. Mrs. Hermes referred to Objective 1.5 under Goal 1, meeting the needs oTTvery child and through counseling, stating that she had received’many cal 1s regarding counselors, not necessarily that they, were noWkwuLtheir jobs, but of children in high schools who were missing test dates bn-S’AT's or pre-SAT's; about college-bound children who were not being counseled. She added that it appeared that the counselors were spending a lot of their Time with children with problems, and legitimately so, but she was concerned about those children who were in need of other types of counseling. Mrs. Hermes also stated that she would, .like Jor the staff to look at the possibility, if the Board agreed,of starting a developmental kindergarten, so to speak, for those children who attend school in the distric^.arrd have npt had any type of preschool training. She added that she had a concern that thtfse children were being pushed into first grade at the end of kindergarten when, in fact, they were not ready for first grade, and their parents wanted them in first grade because they wanted them in school all day, which also’■was a legitimate feeling, but she thought perhaps to do justice for those children, they should consider another developmental kindergarten; that there were private schools in the area that had them, and when a child was immature and not ready to go into first grade, they went into that type of class for a year, and it was full time; that at the end of the year, depending on test scores or teacher and parent evaluation, they would either go into first grade or second grade; that she believed a lot of the children would do better with two years of academic kindergarten than a year of kindergarten and right on into first grade.
Dr. Payzant commented that the staff had begun this year gathering data in terms of interest, cost and feasibility as related to a full-day kindergarten program; that part of what Mrs. Hermes was proposing was already in motion and it would be no problem to add that piece to the feasibility study; that they would not need to wait until next year to start looking at it but could perhaps build it in as a piece of what they had already started to look at for consideration for next year.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
1981-82 Board Goals Presented for Establishment of 1982-83 Goals - For Action at Mr. Donwerth encouraged each of the board members to put in writing any recommendations January 18 Meeting cont'd for new goals and give them to the Superintendent so they could be sent out to the members in their next packet, which would give them an opportunity to study the recommendations and determine if they wanted them added for adoption. As additional comments, Mrs. Hermes stated that she did not want a full-day kindergarten to take the place of what she had proposed, because she was seeing too mnay children who needed two years when they first start to school, to have a fighting chance at succeeding with top scores.
Mrs. Hill inquired as to whether they would rank the goals as they did last year? Dr. Payzant's response was that it would be done whatever way they wished; that he had presented them as they ranked them last year and there was no problem with changing their priorities if they wanted to do so. He added that if they wanted to do that, to just tell him and he would prepare a simple sheet that they could individually do that on, and he would give them the results i Of that individual tally which they could agree to abide by or make the changes. In additional remarks, Mr. Donwerth stated that there would be quite a few goals that would be ongoing, that would continue from year-to-year; that there would be others that they could achieve and possibly eliminate; that he thought they should probably rank not the continuing goals, but the goals that they could achieve.
Dr. Hamffr stated that he would like to see each board member given the opportunity to priorithe goals, because he thought there were some goals that they had achieved to a greater degree than they had others, and therefore they may want to devote their time to some that they had not achieved. He referred specifically to Goal 6, the one on human relations, stating that they may want to give it a little more visibility and a higher priority in their goals than they had in the past, by placing it higher on their scale. Dr. Hamm also stated that, he would like to have some additional information with respect to the current practice, as to if there was a policy or statement regarding doing business with minorities, as had been referred to by Mrs. Darrell as a goal. He added that he thought it ought to maybe be a policy statement so that it would be a part of their continuing policy rather than a goal that they would have to deal with each year. 1
As a closing statement, Dr. Payzant suggested that if board members had additional suggestions with regard to the goals, if they would get them to him by Thursday of that week, he would try to send out with the next packet a summary of any goals that had been given to him and also a simple instrument for rank ordering, so that he could then compile that information and have it back to members of the Board the following week so they would have it in advance of the January 18 board meeting. . A motion was made by Dr. Hamm and seconded.by .Mrs. Darrell to direct the following persons to attend conferences as indicated:

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Remarks Superintendent
Dr. Payzant reported: (1)
Enrollment Projections On a very positive note, I am reporting to you that our enrollment projections for next year show an increase. We are projecting 41,514 students, kindergarten through grade 12, and that represents an increase of several hundred students over what we had at our peak in November of this year, and our enrollment this year was higher than projected. In fact, we thought that we were going to get a drop of 800 students, which would have been the smallest drop in 12 years. That diid not materialize and, in fact, we had a few more students when we peaked in November than we had at the same time in November of 1980. Perhaps it will take another year or two to be firm in our statement about a trend existing, but it certainly looks from close study of the data as though we have bottomed out in our enrolImeitt decl ine and are, in fact, at the beginning of an upswing which probably will continue in a gradual pace through the 1980's and into the 1990's. The increases are coming mainly in two areas. One I can explain better than the other. The elementary schools with the kindergarten first-year classes being larger reflect the turnaround in birthrate that occurred five and six years ago. Those children are now of school age and are entering our schools. The other place where we are getting an upswing in enrollment is in the middle schools, and I don't have a definitive explanation for that. We will continue for the next qpuple of years to see a decline at the high school level because the bulge of students is moving up and out from our earlier bulges in birthrate, and the next ^couple of classes are going to be the final small classes moving through the ^’schools and out of high school. This is consistent with what has happened nationally, where the projections show that high school enrollments will continue to climb for the next several years. If you look at how 'the enrollment projections break down from school-to-school, you will find a few deviations where enrollments are up significantly at a handful of schools and perhaps down significantly at several others, but by and large the pattern is pretty even across the school district, and the percentage of black students in relationship to white students is remaining constant, which I think is an interesting thing to note as well. I would be happy to discuss these projections with you in greater detail and respond to questions that you may have. I am very much encouraged by them and think that they will go very well for the future. It is always easier to deal with the challenges of a growing district, at least psychologically, than it is to deal with the management of decline, and I think that will help a great deal in terms of attitudes, confidence and continuing with the positive momemtum that we have going this year.

HEARINGS ^The following persons addressed the Board:
(1)
Gavon Mosher
(2)
Rick Lane
As president and representative of the Oklahoma City PTA Council, Ms. Mosher expressed a concern regarding chemicals stored in school buildings. She stated that She had been asked by the Council to inform the Board that they would like to be kept abreast of what was going on about removing the chemicals from the school buildings, the timetable, the limits; and they would like a bimonthly report if possible. She added that they were offering their services to help in any way. In giving the Board an update on the process of removing chemicals in the schools, Dr. Payzant stated that just before the holidays there was a good deal of media attentio i given to the issue; that it was not a new issue in Oklahoma City or elsewhere; that there had been several "sweeps" of chemicals in the schools over the years and the last one was last spring although the "sweep" was not one hundred percent effective in that some schools apparently were missed. He continued by stating that as the result of the issue being raised prior to the holidays, he worked with the Assistant Superintendent of Bush"ness Services, the Safety Coordinator, the Operations Directors, Math and Science Consultant of the Curriculum Department; and with the Safety Coordinatorfand Science Consultant taking the lead, a rather detailed set of procedures was established for dealing with the chemical issues; not just now but from thereafter. Dr.^Payzant also stated that the schools were asked to make an inventory of existing chemicals; that they had as a source document to work from materials prepared at the Central Office that indicated which chemicals would be on a list for special storage and which ones would not, and insofar as possible the schools were asked to make that inventory and complete it prior to the holidays; that in some of the middle schools it was easily done; and in several of the high schools, particularly Northeast Science Center where there is a substantial number of science courses conducted, it was not possible to complete the inventory prior to the Christmas holidays.
He added that it was interesting that after the initial flurry of concern was expressed, he started to get a counter reaction from several parents and teachers who called him and said that he was overreacting, he wastaking too many chemicals out of the schools and he was going to ruin the science-program; that as the result of the differences of opinion, he did ask the Safety Coordinator, Science Consultant, and Directors to convene meetings of the middle school and high school science teachers of the first week or ten days after the Christmas holidays to go over the procedures, to-make sure that everybody was together and understood what the rationale was for moving ahead. He stated that as of that date they had one estimate from one .contractor of the cost for removing and disposing of the chemicals; they were in the process of getting estimates for the proper storage and other safety equipment that would need to be installed in the various science laboratories around tfie district, and that they were close to completing the inventory in the schools so that they would know precisely what was there. . • ' ’■■■—---------
Dr. Payzant also stated that the only reason he had not come to the Board that evening ' with a specific recommendation on a vendor to handle the collection and disposal of the chemicals was that they~-were trying to make a competitive situation so that the cost could be kept as low as possible; that it would be a very costly operation. He continued by stating that the next ~'§l^p-would,;.be to provide the storage cabinets, and also the Science Consultant was working with the science teachers on an order list of chemicals that would be needed to handle, i^e -sciepcp-program and to do so in a proper way with those chemicals stored; that a lot of go&d work had been done; that once again they would be the leader in the state, not only in having the problem identified but getting it resolved. 'He added that he had heard on national ABC news that it was an issue around the “country in other states as well. As a closing comment, Dr. Payzant stated that he would suspect that he would have a specific recommendation on a contract for removal of the chemicals at the next Board meeting,..and..he would keep them, the PTA Council, and others advised as they moved along. Mr. Lane, after passing out drawings and paintings to members of the Board, informed them that it was the work of one of his eighth grade students, Loe Do, and he was thereby on his behalf;, in cooperation with CiitizensnNational Bank which was their Adopt-A-School Program sponsor, inviting them to a one-man eighth grade art show of his work for the month of February. He added that the art work would be hanging in the top part of the bank for the entire month. He also stated that he had experienced some problems with scheduling students in his classes and would hope that the middle school philosophy of allowing students to choose their courses would be upheld.

Auditors' Dr. Payz&nt introduced Mr. Ken Moak who reported that the auditing firm of Moak, Report Hunsake®^ Rouse, Thomas and Company had rendered to the Board the audit report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1981 on the Activity Funds, the Central Food Service Funds, and other funds of the district. He stated that the report was prepared and the'audit completed in accordance with state law, and there was also in a separate letter recommendations as to the improvements in the internal control in the accounting procedures; that in each of .the: instances, they had discussed those with the administration and they were taking steps to implement them as was recommended. In response to Mrs. Darrell's inquiry as to whether any items cited in the management letter had been cited in a previous letter, Mr. Moak stated that he could not say whether any of them were carryovers, but it was generally their procedure to say that they had recommended it last year but it had not been complied with. With regard to the Activity Funds, Mr. Moak stated that they always find some schools that don't quite comply in certain areas, but usually before the year is over, something has been done to correct it. He noted that each year in August they cOnducta-training session for all new financial secretaries, principals, etc., to go over the law and procedures, which had proven to be pretty effective, but if there is a turnover among'secretaries during the year, there is a problem of getting them trained. ' . -• __ <Speaking to the recommendations about payroll deduction, Dr. Payzant stated that the auditors would like a little more work'done on trailing the record for the payroll deduction cards; that steps had been'taken the previous year to do so but the amount of turnover and changes that occur in payroll deductions had its effect on the process.
Dr. Hamm inquired about the audHors' recommendation tha± employees in the accounting and payroll area take vacations, to4il]ich Mr. Moak replied that it was good internal control. Dr. Payzant cdmmentdd thatitpf necegsity when a person is on vacation, somebody else has to pick up those duties and responsibilities, and thereby had to be familiar and learn that part of the person's jo by which^wa^ another internal control factor; that of not having a single person be the only'one work in that particular area twelve. months a year.
In response to Mrs. Darrell's inquiry about the recording of Certificates of Deposit, Mr. Moak stated that it did come to light this year and was cited. Mrs. Darrell also asked the Superintendent if in his opinion he thought the corrections could be made with the staff already on board or whether he felt the need for any other kind of assistance or expertise for the staff? Dr. Payzant responded by staging that he did not want to underplay the items cited in th.e management letter but he" did not think that there was anything in the management letter that was beyond the staff in terms of a very quick remedy. He added, however, that how you go about keepigg the payroll deduction records had been somewhat of a controversial issue, because to automate it and do it with the kind of precision that wou d perhaps satisfy the auditors totally would take a good deal of work, time and expense.

AUDITORS' REPORT
Auditors' Report cont1 d
Mr. Darrel Shepard, Director of Business Management, stated that since the issue came <up last year, they had been keeping a real good record with regard to the current payroll deductions, but their concern was about those persons who may have started their deductions twelve or fifteen years ago; that they tend to feel that if those deductions were being taken out over that period of time and the person was having that money deducted, they would have informed the Business Services Department if something was wrong. He also noted that the auditors had recommended that maybe a record of the payroll deductions should go into the personnel files and not be maintained in the Accounting Office, but he felt that the information needed to be in the Accounting Office, but it might be that they could make a copy of the deductions and send them to the Personnel Office; that in his opinion that was not where they belong. Mr. Shepard added that they were trying to devise a system where on a computer printout or something, they could send out to all the people and say this is the amount that is being deducted as of this time, would you please sign and say if this is right or wrong; however; they were not quite together on how to remedy the problem but they were aware of if and were trying to address it, making sure that from last year forward, they, did have a good written file of any payroll deductions that were currently being made; that it was going back to the past years that created a little bit of a problem. With regard to Activity Funds, Mrs. Darrell inquired as to whether there were policies and procedures that indicate what must be done? Dr. Payzant stated that every year you get in the management'letter specific instances cite^f’at certain schools where the procedure or policy had not been followed; that he had already begun work with the Directors, given them copies of the management letters and asked that they follow up directly with the principals involved and get a thorough explanation on each of the instances where a procedure was not followed. Commenting further, Dr. Payzant stated that he was pleased with the fact that the management letter this year was the shortest management letter that had been received in sometime; however, in every:instance, it would be followed up individually and they would provide a report for the Board as the result of that follow-up. Mr. Moak, again, pointed out that with respect to procedures, each year in August someone from the firm goes over very minutely with' the financial ^secretaries every step that they should take, and a few months later they may change the financial secretary to one that was not exposed to the training and sometimes they foul up, but there was not anything major about'any of the instances included in the report; that in the past when there was a problem of more magnitude, they came to the Board with ft specifically, and if they had found that to be true this year, they would have again come to the Board for advice on what to do about it.

Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried. Dr. Payzant reported: 41. Revenue Collections and Expenditures tg--------------------------------------------------------
At-< the last board meeting there was a question raised about the condition of the district, with respect to revenue collections and some reference made to the matter of the..,freeze which has occurred the last couple of years on expenditures. I am pleased to report that the revenue collections are coming in very close to projections and in one instance, as mentioned by the Treasurer at the last meeting, interest on investments, we are at this time in tjie year ahead of our projections, so that I feel quite safe in saying and will announce to the principals and teachers through the directors that there need be no worry about a freeze on expenditures this year. At the same time I am reminding people in departments and schools .thatthere is no need to rush out and try to spend all of their budgeted money by the end of January; that it should be spent prudently and I am making a commitment not to come up with a freeze February 1 or February 15 that will put a hold on the expenditure of budgeted funds. • 2. Developmental Kindergarten
As a follow-up to discussion at the board meeting last time on goals and the matter of developmental kindergarten, I began discussion with a number-ot-th'e staff people on this issue and learned something that was unknown to me previously, namely that this district had a developmental kindergarten, first grade program back in the late sixties and. ij/ywas actually-in place for a couple of years, rather extensive valuations were done of it, and the program was dropped as the result of the-evaluation. I also learned that there are various opinions about whether or not that is the. way to approach the issue as Mrs. Hermes and several others have identified it. H.;wanted to report that -to you and say that we are exploring various ways to go abd'&t dealing with programs for young children of four, five and six years of age, and Will have a more detailed report for you in a few weeks, but that I was a bit hasty in making-the-commitment to write a specific objective for that program only,^ot reali^iifg that there had been a history in this school district with that kind of' program and that there is a need to. look at a variety of options before making a commitment to do it in a specific way. • ‘" Student Transfers
3.
.
Several board members have asked me about what steps have been taken during the fall to clarify and streamline the' procedure by which student transfers are handled, and a number of people have been involved in that work and a report is being prepared now to bring you up to date on modifications that have been made in administrative procedure to hopefully make that process go much more smoothly next year than it has in the past several years. I will have that report to you in several weeks as well.

Mrs. Hill expressed a concern about Item 13, purchase of buses, and the fact that they had received information that one of the buses would be used to transport ten students from the Mid-Del School District; that she could not understand why the Oklahoma City School District was providing transportation for these students. Mr. Doug Markham, Director of Transportation, explained that the students attended Carver Center, were picked up at 44th and Bryant in a shopping center; the students are transferred from the Mid-Del bus to the Oklahoma City bus and are then transported to Carver. He further explained that they do claim the students on the transportation report.
Mrs. Hi IT'inquired further as to why the students were not transported all the yiay by the other district,’after which Mr. Markham and Mr. Ginn explained that',unTess there was an agreement between the districts, they had to stop at the district line; that in the past, the Oklahoma City Scho-oU Di strict had not chosen to have someone else's buses come into the district and vice versa; that there were instances where an agreement had been worked out with the State Department whereby neighboring school district buses"would run in the district, but they run with the doors closed. Discussion continued with respect^tg^the Mid-Del students paying tuition; the rationale for not running their bus atross. .the district line; activity buses that run from one district to another; reimbursement on transportation; other students that are met at the district line; reduction in expense for Toga 1 school boards as well as the state to have one to two facilities developed ahdTtrsed back and forth by school districts; use of the bus for regular route as well as to transport the Mid-Del students; ijie fact that the district would not save buying a bus if Mid-Del School District would transport their own students, and other.
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.

It was moved by Mrs. Brody and seconded by Dr. Hamm to approve the following General ^Business items: 1.
Agreement for Professional Services
Approval of an agreement for professional services with the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) for ACOG to provide technical services, including personnel, drafting materials, map reproduction and computer services to develop a program for an automated school information system including files, tables, maps and others at a total cost to the district of $5200.00. This agreement is to be charged to Account G130.17. 2. .Approval of Agreement to Evaluate ESAA Program Approval of an agreement with Dr. Lee Morris, Center for Educational Development, University of Oklahoma, to evaluate the 1981-82 ESAA program. The agreement in the amount of $3600.00 is to be charged to ESAA Funds.
3.
Approval to Declare Emergency
Approval to declare that an emergency exists at John Marshall High School as a result of an unexpected happening, a fire which destroyed a greenhouse at that /chool causing a condition which may endanger the safety of the occupants of that school building.
4-
Permission to Replace Greenhouse Permission to replace the greenhouse at John Marshall High School which was destroyed by fire on Tuesday, January 12, 1982, by: 1)
purchasing one (1) each replacement' greenhouse kit to be erected on the present foundation and
2)
advertising for bids to employ a construction company to erect the building upon arrival.
Total cost, not to exceed $41,000 less $5,000 deductible, to be paid from Bond Cash Fund. Reimbursement to be made to District by Home Insurance Company according to coverage provided by District's fire and extended coverage insurance policy. Mrs. Harrell inquired about Item 1, agreement with ACOG, as to who would maj.ntain the system and who would be the owner of the software; would the program-and the update belong to the district or would they belong to ACOG to be used; and when they needed to be updated, would that be for the-s^mg^fee or an additional fee? Dr. Wallace Smith responded, stating that ACOG was not going to write a program; that they were going~to determine the limits of the streets within the school district zone, so that they would be able' to put them on a program in the District's computer and be able to determine what zone a.-st,udent was in by their street address; that they would be using the 1980 census; that they.Have the information for the entire City of Oklahoma City; and that they would be~able to tell them and provide them with a tape for their use.
Mrs. Hill asked ff the district did not already have the information; to which Dr. Payzant replied that -they did not have it updated in the detail that was needed; that essentially what was happening was in looking at zone books and maps, there was a lot of room for interpretation about which streets actually fell within what boundaries, and where the numbers began on one side of the street and stopped on the other; or where the cut-off point was on the east boudary or the west; that the automated information system would take every address and piece of property within the zone, identify it in that fashion, and then they would be able to put that into the computer with a program and then determine a student zone by just calling up the address; that they then would not have to rely, as in the past, on a number of different people looking at the maps, and one person saying the south side of the street the line goes down the middle, and the other the north side, those kinds of things; that it would make the system a lot more efficient. After Mrs. Brody asked about how soon the greenhouse at John Marshall could be replaced, Dr. Payzant stated that he thought it would be close to five months overall-ten to twelve weeks for delivery on the kit and time taken to actually wreck the building. He added that it would be the same manufacturer who worked with the original greenhouse, so that they would be able to use the same footings and forms and so on to erect it.

Mrs* Brody expressed a concern that the students will have lost the spring growing season; to which Dr. Payzant replied that he was not aware of any way it could be done faster; that if they were to do specifications and build a greenhouse from scratch, they would still have to go through a bidding procedure, have the specifications drawn, etc., and by the time that occurred and they got a contract for building materials, they probably would not be that much farther ahead, if at all, of the ten to twelve weeks on the kit.
R. #18 Approval of General Business Items cont'd
Dr. Payzant added that one of the things that they were exploring was the possibility of taking the old greenhouse at Foster Estes and seeing whether there was any way they could rig that in a fashion with something to give some temporary help to the students in the program, but he did not have a firm commitment from staff that, that could be done.
A motion was made by Dr. Hamm and seconded by Mrs. Hermes to approve 11 as recommended by.the Superintendent:

GOAL 11
The board will encourage continuity of programs and experiences for students that include a positive transition between and among elementary, fifth year center, middle, and senior high school levels. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.
With reference to Goal 12 and 13 as listed in the agenda, Dr. Hamm stated that he was in sympathy with Goal 12 but he felt that they needed to act in a more positive and affirmative manner and suggested that it be dealt with through the adoption of a board policy. GOAL 12
(as listed in the agenda and later approved)
The board will encourage and support the purchase of goods and services from minority businesses and professionals.
Dr. Hamm then referred to a statement which he was submitting for consideration as a board policy that could be subject to board members' input and perfection: Th,£ board recognizes that good business practices include a purchasing procedure in,*which local suppliers will provide goods of equal quality and at competitive pfices. The District's Business Department will have the responsibility of maintaining a directory of current local suppliers of goods and personnel services including an annual updated listing of minority-owned businesses which can supply products apd personnel services. Mr. Donwerth commented that it would probably take an administrative regulation to try to seek out minority firms to bid on the items. Mrs. Darrell suggested that the policy not be limited to local suppliers since the District purchases goods and services from all over the country. She also mentioned, for example, that the Aeronautical. Center did $75 million worth of minority business across the United States; that it seemed that the school district was unaware of the extensive number of minority-owned businesses and minority professionals across the United States; that she was thinking that it should be a goal rather than just a policy statement and that the objectives could be that the District become familiar with how many and how extensive the 1ists of vendors were.
Mrs. Darrell added that she appreciated Dr. Hamm's position but she felt it necessary to move for approval o.f the goal. R. #20 Approval of 1982-83 Board Goal 12
A motion was then made by Mrs. Darrell and seconded by Mrs. Brody for approval of GOAL 12: . __
The board.will encourage and support the purchase of goods and services from minority businesses and professionals.
After Mr. Donwerth asked if t-he>goal would eliminate the need for a policy, Mrs. Darrell stated that not neoessarily so but-she-.thought it was just the difference in an approach. Dr. Hamm commented that tfi^policycouldbe one step in reaching the goal. Mrs. Darrell commented further with regard to not.^Tfmiting minority business to just the metropolitan Oklahoma City area and cited some of the larger‘establishments in the a,re.a that do business-with minority businesses, such as Tinker Air Force Base, the Aernautical Ceriter, an'd the Federal Building. She added that the business was being done on a competitive basis and she would be the last to support inferior products or services.
Mrs. Hermes stated that although she agreed with the issue as a policy, she did not know that the Oklahoma City School District should make a goal of the district be concerned'■with business; that she did not think the magnitude was great enough for it to be a goal. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, no; Mrs. Hill, no;4* Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.

GOAL 13: The board will study and evaluate the distribution and locations of schools in the elementary grades (K through 5) to determine a more equitable geographic and grade configuration.
R. #21 Approval of 1982-83 Board Goal 13
Mr. Donwerth commented that in dealing with Goal 13, the Board recently made a commitment to the area that they would not change the boundaries anytime soon, or the attendance areas; that with all of the other things to be done in the immediate future, he thought that the administration should have an ongoing evaluation for the distribution and location of schools in the elementary grades and the other grades and reassignment, and if they accepted the goal as submitted, they may not accomplish what they were already trying to do. Mrs. Darrell commented that for some reason the goal seemed to be threatening to the Board, but it was only saying to study and evaluate. Dr. Payzant stated that he was not at all- concerned about looking at anything new, but with the history of the district in tft'fe community,.. . he did not think they could look at anything that related to student assignments or grade configuration of schools without having a lot of symbolic things that people would attach to it; that it would not be possible to do an objective study of alternatives without raising a lot of other issues that were symbolic and emotional for a number of people in the community. He furt^r stated that he was concerned about stability because when they went through the student reassignment two years ago and all of it was looked ait, although there were differences of opinion expressed by people who came down and testified before^ the Board on the student assignment plan or various aspects of it as it was proposed, the one message that came through loud and clear where there seemed to be pretty good agreement was when the school district made up it's mi nd, it was hoped that they would stick with something for a while and bring some sense of stability, so that they were not constantly wondering from one August or September to the other where their children would be attending school. He added that it was almost analogous to the school closure issue, which they had talked about before which was put to rest for the time being; that just the fact that the study of closing schools did the same kind of thing in the community in terms of generating all kinds of other issues at the symbolic and emotional level, his interest was making sure that it was going to be a top priority, and if it was, he wanted more specific direction from the Board on how to go about doing it, because he thought it may get in the way of them doing some more things that were in motion.
In further discussion, Mrs. Darrell stated that it bothered her that the district did things rather impromptu; that, again,, the recommendation only dealt with study and evaluate; that it did not mention changing assignments of* anything of thaX^ort; that it was difficult for her to understand how they could approach the enormous kinds of changes that they make on them_and they are done without the benefit of studies and documentation; that it was'a'gPeat concern also to a part of the district; but it was whatever they as a board collectively felt the merits of the recommendation was, and if it„was too threatening to deal with, then they could communicate that message by the way they acted on it. .
In additional comments, Dr. Payzant^stated that obviously he would abide by the Board's decision, but on that particulargoal hewas going to ..need more specific direction from the Board about the nature of the study and what they should really look at if the Board adopted the goal, because a WtTof- the.,pd’eces had been looked at the last two: years, as well as the last ten or twelve years; that he would have to have a clear message from the Board about the specifics of what the study might contain. Mrs. Hill commented that she, too, thought they had done a lot of studying which included the Long Range Plan, with the study of closing schools and all; that the Board did go on record with a commitment that they would leave things as they were, and she thought it was the first time that they had seen an increase in enrollment, which to her said that the community felt like the Board had made a commitment to the community^and that they would abide by their current disribution; that the enrollment was increasing and she felt a commitment to the public for that reason. Mrs. Darrell stated that when the goal was presented, what seemed to come’to mind was busing and changing attendance areas, but it did not deal with it one way or another; it only said study and evaluate; that everything changes and they would have to stay on top of things.

R. #21 Approval of 1982-83 Board Goal 13 cont'd
With respect to his interpretation of the goal, Dr. Payzant stated that he did not ^understand the intent; that he was reacting to, for example, the Long Range Plan which recommended strongly that the district seriously consider a grade configuration of 5-6 schools and 7-8 schools; in other words, no longer the fifth year center but a fifth/sixth combination and a seven/eight combination, and that was one of the things that the staff was asked specifically by the Board to look at two years ago. He added that K-5 schools were also included, and he was assuming that all of those combinations was what she was referring to.
Mrs. Darrell referred to the enrollment in the fifth grade, for an example, that maybe they could get those students back, and added that the general gist of what she was saying was to evaluate the system in the thin points or where the weak points were or stress points and consider where the possibility would be to"pull'things back in
After further discussion whereby Dr. Payzant mentioned that the fifth year enrollment was up this year, and other, Mrs. Darrell stated that the thing that bothered her was that- they would do things not on the basis of information; that they do things when they think the time is right instead of dealing with enough information to substantiate the action. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, no; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, no; and Mr. Donwerth, no. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.
Dr.,payzant then asked the Board to give him some specific direction on Goal 13, stating that he was not sure he understood what the expectation was. Dr. Hamnr stated that he wanted to take issue with the fact that the Board acted upon impulse, because the action two years ago was one issue that the Board did not act upon impulse but did have hard data when, they dealt with with student assignments, school closings, the moratorium on the school closings arid all; that;it was a hard decision to make. Mrs. Darrell stated that it was her understanding that the Superintendent would take each one of the goals and work out objectives to address them; that the only thing that she would see that would be in the objectives would be to address the goal as to a feasible way to study and evaluate; that the first objective could be that they could do it over the next three or four years.
In his response, Dr. Payzant stated that he understood the study and evaluate but ..wanted to know about the distribution, location, equitable, geographic and grade configuration.
Mrs. Darrell replied that it could be as what was stated earlier, whether the K-5 or the K,5 would be a feasible format in the next three years, or whether'K"-4 and 5 might have some merit; or whether through a different geographical distribution they would either lose students or could-p&s&ibJx^ga in students, and the fact that they would have the data, she would-see that it would be easier to do. Dr. Payzant commented that if the assumption was that in all of the study he had an obligation, which he hoped tag would have, to maintain integrated schools, then he could move forward, because that wotrTckset a framework within which he would have to operate.
Mrs. Darrell stated, yes, by all means*.
_
As a final comment, Mrs. Hermes stated that she wotaTd suggest that the goal extend through to the moratorium; that at the time they were looking at the pattern of what ttae schools had done-, and if they were going to make huge changes, that it address school operilngs and closings and redistricting, reboundarying, or whatever they were going to do; She added that she was glad Mrs. Darrell had mentioned two or- three years because she was hoping that she was not voting on one year.

In response to some questions raised by persons who spoke and providing information to the Board, Dr. Payzant made the following remarks; A number of very important questions have been raised and some of them I intended to speak to even if they had not been raised during the remarks section of my report, but I think it would be appropriate to go ahead and do so now. What I would like to do first is share with you some very brief prepared remarks that I had and then give you a report on the status of the various inspections that are occurring in the school district,, including what plans we have which in part are related to an ggenda item later this evening on the chemicals in the Science classes, and then try to take as many of the questions that were raised by speakers during the hearing portion of the meeting this evening and respond to those. Where I do not have answers I will get the information and report back to the Board with the information.

.......
First, a comment or two about the Star tragedy. The disaster at Star Elementary School which claimed the lives of six children and one teacher and injured more than thirty others is certainly still very much on everybody's mind. It is difficult to talk about schools without thinking about that tragic event. One of my major responsibilities is to give everything that I know how to give to try and help us move forward and return to the job of providing the best possible education for our students and safe facilities.
Remarks Dr. Payzant cont'd
The Star students have now returned to school. We were able to keep the entire student body together, the staff together, and relocate them in the Spencer area. As you know, classroom space was made available at Rogers Middle School, which is about two miles from Star, and today of the 264 students enrolled in Star Elementary School, 244 were in class at Rogers. You probably -- also know that it was the first choice of the Star staff and we worked very --- closely with them to return to the Star building, but it was also their concern - - that the students be returned to school just as quickly as possible, and we ...... could not guarantee that the Star building would be available in a short period of time to make all of us comfortable in ’returning the children there. So we went -- to the second option which was Rogers. I can't say enough about the staffs of the two schools. There is no question but that the Rogers staff has been inconvenienced, and although the Star staff was involved to a great extent Friday a week ago, and Saturday in the planning, - we hid to drop a lot of the plans on the Rogers School staff unannounced, and I kiiow that is not the best way to do it. But time was of the essence and we ------ di«d-and they have responded most positively, given that there has been inconvenience to them. Because people worked so hard, the transfer has gone fairly .smoothly. District personnel, volunteers from all over helped with the move^the community people, the parents have really worked with us, reaching out in the way that they offered to do this evening, and we are trying to respond. I think it is important to acknowledge the help„,that so many have given in these last two weeks. It would be impossible to name every individual. Mr. Donwerth and I are in the process of preparing special certificates that - will go from the Board to the key agencies that played such an important part in the aftermath of the disaster, and this is not an exclusive list but let me just mention for the minute those that will be included and some others as we are aware of them. The police departments from a number jurisdictions Midwest City; Spencer; the Oklahoma Couny Sheriff's Department, Oklahoma City; the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Nicoma Park, Choctaw, Del City, Jones, Harrah, ■ Forest Park, and Valley Brook. The Fire Departments from Midwest City, Spencer, ■■ -Choctaw, Oklahoma City, Del City, Nicoma Park, Harrah, and Forest Park. The . Midwest City Ambulance Service, Amcare Ambulance Service, the Medi-Flight of the Oklahoma Memorial Hospital, the Red-Cross, the Salavation Army, the Midwest City Street Department,'and many volunteers off the street, with staff, people-^f all kinds. We are going to try to recognize as many of them as possible.'
It has been said many timesand- ft_iT"geirotne that our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of those families who suffered loss in the tragedy at Star, and we have all prayed together that it will never happen in this community again.
That leads me to the next Section - what are we going to do about it to make sure that it doesn't happen again? ^Obviously, we are all human and we can't make guarantees that are beyond our contrfil, but,we are going to make every effort that we know how to make sure that it doesn't happen again. And how do we do that? We do that by trying to learn and take pfeventatiy£--ffieasures. One of the first things that we have done is we have started massrive inspections focused in two areas. We focused first on our steam boilers which are the basis of heating systems in about half of our buildings, 50 buildings to be exact. We have not relied just on the inspection of our own maintenance people; we have called on and received a positive response from two state agencies - the Department of Labor and the Health Department. Those two agencies have organized teams in the past week to assist with the inspections. In the case of the Department of Labor, they have focused on the steam boilers. They visited 50 different locations in - the school district where steam boilers are located, and inspected 108 boilers. During tiie course of last week, 36 of those 108 had some condition that was of ------ great enough concern to the inspectors that they ordered their temporary shutdown. Our maintenance people were part of the teams that went with the state inspectors. -And as the state inspectors pointed out things that needed to be done, our maintenance people called in work orders and other teams of people followed to make the repairs. As of today, all of the boilers that were temporarily shut down have been repaired, save one, which is still being worked on and in most buildings there is more than one boiler so that it wasn't a case of shutting schools down because of lack of heat.

Dr. Payzant continued:
<
There were four of five teams from the Health Department who visited at our schools to check hot water tanks. And these teams involved somebody from the Health Department at the state level, and in some instances from the Fire Marshal's office, and somebody from our maintenance crews. When I received the report earlier today from the Health Department, I was under the impression that every school had been checked as of today, and I so reported to the media this afternoon. We did some double-checking late this afternoon with the Health Department because our records did not dovetail with theirs and we found that there were four schools that they had inadvertently not checked yet and they will be checked the first thing in the morning, and I am talking about the hot water tanks. Those four schools that will be checked tomorrow that have not been checked are Jefferson Middle, Moon Middle, Carver, and Washington Center.
That will complete a check of all of the hot water tanks in the school district, and as those were checked the inspectors completed a two-page check list on each hot water tank. In the course of the inspections, they shut down last week about .16 tanks. And the same procedure was followed where maintenance people followed behind and made the corrections on those tanks. They only shut those down where they had a real concern about the condition of the tank and thought there might be a safety hazard involved. They have in addition made other suggestions about work that we do on the boilers and tanks. Today we assigned a person full time to do nothing but to line up license qualified contractors outside of our ijgiintenance force to assist with that work so that it can proceed on a top priority ^basis over the next week or two. In fact, I am not going to take any chances at >11; I am going to insist that every temperature pressure safety valve and every *-hot water tank in an Oklahoma City school building be replaced. Even though they would pass inspection, some of them, and would not need to be, we are going to do them all, and that is one of the things that we will be working with the outside contractors with very careful specifications to go ahead and do. We will also do the work that was suggested by the inspection teams on the boilers. Now to put this into some context, the steam-boilers are regularly inspected by the insurance company that carries the insurance on the boilers, but they only report to us when they find some kind of defect that they feel needs to be repaired. I am hopeful as are several of the speakers this evening that we will have legislation that will put more stringent requirements on the inspection of boilers and heating systems. Heretofore there have been no inspections that I am aware of that have covered hot water tanks in just about any building, and hopefully they would come under the inspection requirements that would allow state agencies with outside inspectors to make a periodic inspection of those pieces of equipment as well. In the meantime, until that happens, as this work is done on this equipment we will have our own internal inspection where people will go back and review work that is done to make sure that it was done as the inspectors wanted it, and we will also try for time availability from the state agencies to get them to come back in and spot-check as well, so thaX-we^wi11 have that additional check. We are giving that our priority and the Maintenance Department is working extremely_b4.rd_to try to respond to all of the demands being placed on it at thiscrfime. And~15ecause the normal kinds of things will happen with heating systems as has happened at Eugene Field today, we are going for some oatside contract help on the repair work so that our maintenance people will still be free to' Respond to the normal request for work that comes along.
In addition, we are starting^*a...n.ew round of inservice workshops for our custodians who are responsible for firing the boilers and working with them on a day-to-day basis to make sure that^the most up-to-date information about observing, caring for, operating those bofle.h&^fs in the hands and minds of those custodians. ? > ; ‘ Before I go to~the specific questions, just a word about the chemicals; and there is an item on the agenda recommending the employment of a contractor for the disposal of chemicals in the high schools and middle schools. The inventories are to be completed by tomorrow by the middle schools and high schools of all chemicals that are in the building. We have gone ahead and ordered one storage cabinet for each science room in every middle and high school that will be used to store any flammable materials that are associated with the science programs and the science labs. We have identified additional work that needs to be done in the science rooms and work orders are being written for the Maintenance Department to follow through with the completion of that work. If the contract is awarded tonight, then the chemicals in the next several weeks will be packed and removed by the contractor, with the school district Science Consultant working with the contractor on that process. Our Safety Coordinator will be assigned to do a follow-up inspection of all science rooms in the district to make sure, using a checklist, that the chemicals that have been removed have been properly removed and that the other things that need to be done are being done. The Science Consultant will work with the teachers on the ordering of chemicals for use in the science program in the months and weeks ahead.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF FEBRUARY 1, 1982 - CONT'D
Dr. Payzant continued, responding to questions that had been asked by the speakers:
Let me go now to some of the questions that were raised, and, again, I will give you the information that I have. Mr. Hodges, I think you are correct. There are a lot of rumors going around about Star, its condition and what might happen to it in the future. I have in my own mind made no decision about a recommendation to the Board concerning Star's future and I have been saying quite honestly that I have been concentrating on making provisions for the children in the short run at Rogers and putting that question aside for the moment. Let me tell you what I know at this point; that there are two things for sure that would have to be done in order to put that building back into shape, and I am not talking about major renovation work, but to make it safe; one, that the cafeteria area that was damaged by the explosion, that would have to be rebuilt or replaced. A structural engineer has looked at it and has worked with the insurance adjusters, and there is a point where the building up to that point it was damaged structurally, and beyond that according to the structural engineer's word, it is okay, and it could be rebuilt.
The second thing that I know about at this point that would have to be done to meet my satisfaction, and that is the replacement of the gas lines for the building. And that latter fact was one of the major things that deterred me from trying to rush, rush, rush to get the building back in shape to have the children go back in there right away. Now beyond that I am not aware of major things that would have to be done to put it in "safe condition," but we have not pursued that in great detail as yet, so I am only giving you what I know right now. I ean't answer your question about the gym. I don't believe the gym was dasiifeged and it is in the same condition it was before the explosion and we have done no specific study of it at this point. I know nothing about the school being condemned four years ago. There has been some publicity around a statewide list of condemned schools across Oklahoma and some figures thrown out about a number of condemned schools, but Oklahoma City Public Schools in District 1-89 are not on that list.
When the similar accident at Willow Brook was brought to my attention last week, nobody was anymore surprised than I was. I had never heard about it. It pre-dated my service here in Oklahoma City, but in checking around among the board members who were on the Board then and the top administrative staff, there was no recollection of that particular incident. And I can't answer to my satisfaction or to yours why that particular incident did not receive more attention at the time. It certainly was not covered up because one of the local newspapers had a picture from its file of that tank after it had exploded back in 1977, and apparently it ran at the time, so people must have been aware of it <.■■■-•?'b'ut~I can't answer why it didn't lead to more discussion and additional inspections. I do not have a good answer for you.
Students in academic-achievement and report cards; I don't know whether yeu, Mr., Hodges, received them or not, but if your children were in the schools last spring they should have taken the California Achievement Test and you should have received scores in th,e majzT'^ the results of your children on the California Achievement Test, which would give you their percentile score which would enable-you to compare their performance with other students who took the test nationwide, because,that test is normed based on students who take it all around the country. That ls .a practice that we have followed the last two years in making those scores avai TabTq_to parents as a supplement to the report cards which they get based on teacher e"v^jjiation^.so that we just don't rely on the report cards and the teacher conferences which are.,very important, but parents of students in first through eleventh grade do gejzthe results of those California Achievement Tests. - -
After a parent from the audience inquired as to why they could not have a report card that would tell the parents what the children were doing in school, rather than the ones that they were receiving which to them told them nothing, Dr. Payzant responded: The only thing that I can say to you is that the reference was made to an A, B, C, D, F report card for elementary children and my view is that does not tell you very much of anything about the achievement of an elementary child; that the report card and the teacher conference which is extremely important that tells precisely what kind of skills the child is having success with or difficulty with, particularly in ’Reading;' Math and Spelling, with specific statements made by the teacher and^on the report card about the skills that have been attained and have not been attained, that tells the elementary parent much, much more than an A, B, C, D, or F, and it takes that interaction with the teacher and specific discussion in order to achieve that.
Mr. Winters raised a number of questions about maintenance and why nothing is ever done. There is no question but that there is a great deal of maintenance work that needs to be done in this school district, and the thing that I am trying to break is that we operate a maintenance system based on the"squeakywheel"response, and that is whoever pressures the most or talks the loudest

Dr. Payzant continued, responding to questions that had been asked by the speakers: <
gets their maintenance work done regardless of whether that may be the most pressing work to do in terms of safety and emergencies versus routine work versus work that can be deferred. And in any system, any bureaucracy of this size there is a certain amount of "squeaky wheel" things that happen. But all the time that is spent responding to the "squeaky wheel" diverts people from taking a systematic approach to dealing with the top priority items and getting to the point where you hope you can get, that you have a preventative maintenance program where you do things ahead of time and not wait until something breaks or goes down before you respond. We have responded a great deal. We haven't responded enough. There is a lot more to do but you don't have a group of people in the Maintenance Department who are sitting around saying that they won't respond.
Ms. Collins asked about why not inspectors and I tried to comment to that in terms of what we are doing with outside inspectors now and hoping for additional legislation that will continue requirements for outside inspection as well as zwhat we will do internally, and that would be a major focus of our efforts and I hope yours to see that, that happens. The Eugene Field building; I have talked to several staff members over there niyself today and I can't guarantee you that heating system is not going to need additional work before the winter is over or next winter before the new building â– js built. I would be silly to sit here and tell you that a heating system in a Enjilding that was of the age of Eugene Field could be guaranteed to operate perfectly for the rest of the winter. The only pleasure that I can give you is i*fthat as problems continue, we will respond as quickly as possible to try to s correct them. But short of that new building, we are not going to define a major, final solution at Eugene Field.
Ms. Reagan, I know j/ou are reaching out and want to work with us and we want to work with you, and we are going to try to find ways to do that. I will be really interested to see what the response is from the Star parents and community about the future of Star School. One of the reasons that I have deferred dealing with that issue just yet, iri the aftermath of the tragedy, I was hearing all kinds of things and quite frankly I heard more the first ten days or so about never going back to that school, and was tending to respond that way. Now I am hearing a different message. I am willing to listen and I think the Board is too, but we have got to be sure that we are hearing the right message and that we have enough perspective away from the immediacy of the tragedy to make a good decision about that. I would say the same thing to Ms. Stoneking in terms of trying to find ways to work and set up good patterns of communication, and to you, Ms. Murphy, and other parents as well.
I am not going to say to you that there are no drugs anywhere in the Oklahoma City schools. I am surprised to hear..you talk as you did about weapons at Star Spencer. If there werethose kinds ofincidents occurring and I was not hearing about them and Ms. Mason was not hearing about them, and Dr. Edd was not hearing about <hem,~ I would really be concerned. When we get situations like that it is really necessary because of their seriousness to really pinpoint them and have them followed up immediately,, but I am not aware of those kinds of incidents occurring with the regularity-.that you seem to suggest at Star Spencer. And I think that if there are concerns -that you have specifically on that point that we need to get with Ms. Mason and Dr. Edd and get'right at those things now, with specifics.
Ms. Bazhaw,we are in,agreement on the need for the legislation and will try to work with you to that end. I don't know what to say to you about Riverside School. One of the classic conflicts that has emerged in the last couple of years, and the tragedy that occurred at Star may put a different perspective on this, that prior to this tragedy when schools were being considered for closure, a lot of people in the neighborhoods lobbied very, very hard to this Board not to close certain schools, and they really didn't spend a lot of time talking about the condition of the building as being their first concern, but rather the fact that they wanted their school in that particular neighborhood, and Riverside was one of those. One of the proposals that was made to consolidate Riverside as part of the attendance area of one of the new schools was rejected, and there has been no real plan to-do major work at Riverside because as one of our older buildings it did not seem to be wise to put all kinds of new money into it. So you have got that classic conflict of whether you go against the community on the one hand because you thinkitis a building that is old.,and ought to be closed, or whether you accede to the community about wanting that school to remain in the neighborhood, recognizing full well that you may not be able to put all the money into it that really ought to go into it if you are going to keep it open for another ten or fifteen years. And I don't have a good answer for the resolution of that dilemma.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF FEBRUARY 1, 1982 - CONT'D
Remarks Dr. Payzant Ms. Levi, if you heard me. sayrtha.t on the media, I was taken out of context. I was cont'd xasked why it was that might not more money had been put into maintenance budgets, and I said it is a classic situation in public agencies, particularly schools and school districts all around this country, that when the budget crunch comes, educators and boards make the decision to put money into people, teachers and other personnel, and supplies and textbooks, that directly effect the classroom, and the maintenance budget gets put on the back burner. And that is frankly what happens with very positive intentions. It has happened in this school district. It has happened in every school district that I have been associated with all over this land. And, unfortunately, it takes some kind of tragedy like this to pull people's perspective back and say you can't forget the maintenance budget; you can't forget some of those other kinds of things, and that when there is a limited pie to carve up, that maybe that maintenance budget and capital improvements have to get some real attention too. It has never been my intention to try to lay any kind of blame on the teachers or other personnel or anybody for getting an undue share of that limited pie. It has been done with my recommendations, with Board's approval, and it has been done in school districts all over this state and country, and maintenance usually comes out in the short end, and that was what I intended to say.
Dr. Payzant continued:
Following the conclusion of Dr. Payzant's remarks, Mr. Donwerth stated that if there were those persons present who were not satisfied with the answers they received to questions, that if they would stay until after the meeting and contact board members, they would^try to answer as many as they could. He then #§ked if there was a Ms. Alvarado in the audience, stating that he had been informed that she needed to be recognized for some of the things she had done with regard to the Star tragedy. After it was established that she was not present, Mr. Donwertli. stated that they would try to find her and thank her properly.
After getting permission from the President to make remarks, Mrs. Darrell stated that she thought everything had been said that they could say about the devastating tragedy at Star; that there had been an astronomical price paid and they would all love to do it differently. She further stated that of all the comments that were made that evening, the remark by ,a patron about "parent power" really got her attention; that she wanted to say to all of those present as well as those she had talked to on the phone, that three minutes at the lectern would not tell the Board what their concerns were; that the Star area was a part of her district and if they would set the time and place, she would be there as long as they needed to talk; that she would like to hear from them before the week was out so that they could establish a liaison, a type of network to deal with their concerns,. Mrs. Darrell added that it was not the school districts and it was not school boards that outlawed prayer in schools, who outlawed discipline in schools, and who did a lot of things that they were-now dealing with; that there were a lot of things aboW'weapons, drugs, and safety of buildings; and that all of them who sat on that dais, Including the Superintendent, were not responsible for_the condition of the buildings that they were presently dealing with. She compared-it’’a’s''to-somone not washing the dishes on Sunday and by Friday they would have five'times as many dishes to wash.
In conclusion, she stated that.she would really hope that the Star tragedy and the supreme price that had been paid'-would not be the reason .that they pass the bond issue;: that there were a lot of needs in ’th^Ldistrict; that there were a lot of legislative changes that needed to be made and the Board and administration could not make them if they were on one side and patrons on the other side-, -but they would have to work and do it together. She emphasized again that*ifTpa-tron§^rf the Star area felt up until the present time that they had not had a vehiclef had not had a channel, or had not had a voice or an ear, if they would set the time and place, any day other than the first, second, or third Monday', she would be there because she wanted to hear from them. Mr. Donwerth commented that he thought Mrs. Darrell could speak for the other board members; that he, too, would be glad to meet with the patrons, and if she wanted him to be present at group meetings that were called, he thought that he as well as other board members would be happy to attend.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Remarks Dr. Payzant
As additional remarks, Dr. Payzant reported: 1.
Replacement Building for Eugene Field and Willard Schools An additional item that I did not include in my remarks earlier pertains to the progress on acquisition of a site and development of educational specifications for the replacement building for Eugene Field and Willard. There is a committee of teachers and others working on educational specifications and they hope to complete their initial work with a report by the end of this week. That is the necessary step before the architect can proceed with the development of drawings.
We have worked with a community group to look at alternative sites and have focused on three possibilities with a site in part using McKinley Park and some area adjacent to it seeming to be one of the best of the three options. We are engaged in conversation with the City Parks and Recreation Department about the possibility of working some kind of agreement for the use of property there and I hope to have enough in the way of specifics to be able to bring you a recommendation within the next two to three weeks. Inquiry Mrs. Hill Re Zachary Taylor Site ;
Mrs. Hill inquired about the Zachary Taylor School property as to the progress being made, consideration to buy the park and all? Dr. Payzant stated that he had had several letters from interested patrons in the Zachary Taylor area asking to come and speak to the Board on this topic at one of the Fetyetiary meetings, and he understood that they were planning to come to the February 15 meeting; at present Mr. Shepard was working on the premise that the property would be divided and that a portion of the property would be made available for sale or trade to the City, and that the remaining portion of the property which included the building would be offered for public sale; that if the public sale did not'materialize in a way acceptable to the Board, then they would follow the option that they had in several instances of working toward a negotiated sale or a lease arrangement on that property, or some other alternative that the Board might direct.
PERSONNEL REPORT R. #30 Personnel Approved

Mrs. Hill inquired about Item 6, agreement on printing and mailing of the "School Report," as to the urgency of the matter. Dr. Payzant explained that the original schedule had been to do three issues of the School Report which would go to the general parent community, which would have included one at the beginning of the second semester, buj they were running behind, particularly with the events of the last two weeks that had taken everybody's attention. He stated, however, that they would like to get out a report as close to the end of ;the month as possible and believed that by going with the single vendor to handle all aspects of the printing they could do so.

Purchasing After Mrs. Darrell expressed a concern about Item 4, Dr. Payzant stated that after the^Board awarded the bid on December 14, on further checking of the specifications, it appeared to people in the Purchasing Department that the specifications and the bid recommended were not what they thought was the best for the school district, and with further checking they decided that the best approach would be to rebid, which they did, and as the result of the rebidding, the recommendation was being submitted in .Item 4, which would result in a savings of several thousand dollars to the school district.

Mrs. Hermes noted that from bids being mailed, more were being returned and that she was pleased to see that they were getting a larger response.

It was moved by Mrs. Hill and seconded by Dr. Hamm for approval of the following general business items:
1.
Sealed Bid Offers for Walnut Grove Elementary School to be Rejected
ThaCall sealed bid offers received January 22, 1982 to purchase Walnut Grove Elementary School, 500 South Durland, be rejected and that the Business Services staff be directed to solicit offers to sell the property at a price closer to the opinion of value. Final consideration for the disposal of the property to be app-rbved by the Board at a regularly scheduled meeting.
2.
Approval of Contract Re Chemicals
Approval of a contract with Triangle Resource Industries (low vendor - 2 mailed, 3 returned) for packaging, labeling, removing and disposal of hazardous chemicals from various schools. This expenditure, not to exceed $42,062, to be charged to Account G1230.06. Mrs. Hill commented that she had read in Education U.S.A, how the Oklahoma City School District was going to spend $100,000 to get their chemicals removed and maybe they would pick up that they were really going to come up with a saving. However, Dr. Payzant stated that the amount as indicated was only part of it; that, for example, they had ordered one storage cabinet for each Science class, which was an additional $10,000, and then they would have modifications to make in some of the storage areas that would include in some'instances some venting; that there migjjt be a need for additional storage facilities after they saw how many chemicaTs^they would be reordering in the future, and there were other pieces of safety equipment to be considered such as a shower to ■takeu^j^of any situations where someone might spill acid. He added that there was'"some maintenance and remodeling kind of work that needed to be done over the next five or six months that could well bring the total expenditure'up considerably.
With respect to the disposal of^sAirpJus property, Mrs. Darrell stated that she had
a concern that at least on the third^ne^they were rejecting the offer. She inquired as to whether they could request a minimum bid, say, the appraised value of the property. ~
Mr. Shepard responded that a minimum bid could be requested; however, when the procedure .was first set up, they elected at that time not to reveal the appraised values. He added that what they were attempting not to do was to set an amount just in case someone would happen to bid over that. Discussion continued with regard to using a minimum bid, meeting the requirements of offering the property to the public, the need for some action from the Board to change the procedure, and other.
Following the discussion, Mrs. Darrell stated that she would make a motion in that regard at the appropriate time. On roll call, the votes‘•were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes.

NEW BUSINESS Following a discussion by members of the Board and Mr. Bleakley with regard to the appropriate wording for a motion to deal with a concern expressed earlier in the meeting by Mrs. Darrell with respect to bidders being informed Of a minimum amount to bid on surplus property, a motion was made by Mrs. Darrell and seconded by Mrs. Hill, and perfected as follows:
R. #35 Approval of Motion Re Sale of Surpl us Property
"I move that on the sale of surplus property that the minimum amount that will be considered be indicated in the advertising for bids."
Included in the discussion was the need to establish the procedure; that the Business Manager could communicate by memorandum to the Board on the range of the appraisals and what his recommendations were on that minimum amount, at which time the Board could either act on that or come up with a different amount; the necessity for voting on the motion; the fact that "For Sale" signs would also be put on the property; and other. Dr. Hamm commented with a concern that when they set a minimum amount, through the administrative staff, they would be setting a low bid and conceivably there might be some property that was worth more than the appraised value.
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes;.Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, no; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.

HEARINGS cont'd The remarks by Ms. Reagan included her position as being in opposition to approval of a bond issue, petition for deannexation by Nicoma Park residents from the Oklahoma City School District, the need for daily psychiatric counseling for students at Star Elementary School, the need for quality and safe education for children, and other.
As a student of Northwest Classen High School, Ms. Simmons presented a petition from students of that school as being dissatisfied with the poor conditions that were stated as existing there with respect to maintenance of the building. Ms. Alvarado expressed a concern with regard to the accountability of maintenance employees in the school system, that maybe there should be a rigid check-in and check-out system initiated. She also spoke about the psychological needs of students at Star School. Mrs. Hermes stated that it was her understanding that the school system had provided on an ongoing basis psychiatric counseling for both parents and students.
Dr. Payzant responded, stating that the school district had done several things; that there was a full-time school counselor at Star Elementary School; that they (the principal, Dr. Betty Williams and he) had a basic agreement with the teaching staff, at Star that they would take their lead from them in terms of how the auxiliary services jjhat were being provided, if they were or were not sufficient; that there had beer^provided to the staff there and some good community publicity given about where community services would be available for those who were interested in seeking furthe^counseling or help from those community services, and there were a number of specific agencies and/or individuals listed for families to make contact with. Mrs. Hermes’added that she would like to direct sta'ff to make the knowledge of the services available even more so for any parents through possibly the administrative offices.
Comments were made by Mrs. Darrell that she was aware that there were services being provided through regular existing professional services in the community but she had received a call fron a patron whose child was involved in the tragedy and who was put through a considerable amount of regular routine scrutiny as to whether or not they were eligible; that she would like to see these agencies provided with sufficient informatibn, with a listing of those persons who were involved, the patrons and students so that they would not have to be put through so much scrutiny.
After Mrs- Hill stated that she was going to suggest bringing someone into the schools, Dr. Payzant asked Dr. Williams to give a more specific report of the kind of services that were available at the school and the kind of feedback that she was getting from the teachers and principal. <: Dr.,Williams responded that the teachers were also in agreement that there might need to be some extra services provided; that-they.hac( requested that Dr. Enlow, Psychologist, meet with them again the following week and they were thinking that through that meeting there would be an outgrowth of some recommendations. Mrs. Darrell addressed addition^ remarks to the persons from the Taylor School neighborhood, stating that having--bpen present at the meeting, they had a chance to hear about the dilemma of the school TH-strict; that with respect to the Taylor property, it was difficult for her to beTteve that the $80,000 that was being offered by the City was fair market value for the proQ,erty.~ She sxiggested that the interested persons seek assistance through their City Council man tt5 get the City to provide additional monies and offer a better price for the property.
For clarification for one of the speakers, Dr. Hamm noted that any monies received from sale of surplus property by Board policy did not go into the General Fund but was placed in the Bond Fund to address the concerns that had been expressed that eveni ng.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Dr. Payzant commented that earlier in the year he had presented to the Board a recommendation for transferring some of the vocational Trade and Industry courses from District 1-89 to Vo-Tech District 22, and he was presently making a recommendation for a modification in the earlier plan which would retain in District 1-89 four programs for first year students as well as second year students as was originally included in the plan approved by the Board earlier in the year. He stated that with regard to the first four programs in Item B, those programs were to stay in 1-89 but onTy for second year students in 1982-83; that he was recommending that these programs be continued in 1982-83 for first and second year students, as well as the Cosmetology programs that were originally approved by the Board. Dr. Payzant added that the programs under Item A would be transferred to Vo-Tech 22 and the students in those programs could be accommodated at Foster Estes Vo-Tech Center without the modifications contemplated by the Vo-Tech District 22 Board. He concluded by stating that he believed that the modification would give clear direction to the students who were in the process of enrolling for vocational classes for next year and would also leave the 1-89 and Vo-Tech 22 Boards with more flexibility in their planning as they consi(fer?d:the future transfer of programs from 1-89 to Vo-Tech 22, and Vo-Tech 22 considered its plans for development of a Vo-Tech Center in the north part of Oklahoma City.
R. #42 Approval of Revision of Facility/Program Plan cont'd
Mrs. Hill noted that specifically with the Cosmetology program at Northwest she had understood that the conditions were not necessarily satisfactory and inquired as to the cost Jpeing considered in returning the programs to 1-89?
In response, Dr. Payzant stated that the only change from the original recommendation was in the first four programs under Item B, and they were to be offered in the shops at tho’Se schools for second year students, which would have been a half-day program; so all they -would be doing would be offering those four programs to first year students as’well in the same shops for a full-day program; that any cost that would be incurred in retaining the Cosmetology program at Northwest would not change by the recommendation because agreement had been reached earlier to leave it there for next year.
Mrs. Hill commented further that it seemed like they were constantly changing their minds as to what they were doing and she would be glad when they could make a commitment and it be a true commitment.' On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes.

Chemicals in Schools
\ .. ... As you know, at :the last Board noting the Board authorized us to. enter into a contract with a firm to remove chemTcgJs fromthe secondary schools. As of today chemicals have been removed from all secondary schools, which would include middle and high schools except Douglass .aifd Sievelapdf and the chemicals have not been removed that are stored at the Service Center. The target is to complete that work by the end of the day on Wednesday. The number of drums of chemical material removed from alTof the buildings to date numbers 80; because there is a substantial amount of chemicals stored at the Service Center, the contractor is estimating that with the Service Center removal as well as Douglass and ■Cleveland, there will be 40 more drums, totaling 120 in all which is within the bounds of the contract that you approved at the last Board meeting. Annexation, to and Deannexation from District
At the last Board meeting you did receive a request from some patrons concerning annexation or deannexation of a portion of the school district to another school district, and I would just call to your attention, if you are not already aware, that it is the practice of this Board currently and has been for recent years to not support efforts to take sections away from the Oklahoma City School District. If you were to do that you would have to change your current and past practice and I would not recommend that you do so.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Remarks Dr. Payzant cont'd
Dr. Payzant continued: Infectious Hepatitis
3.
You saw in the paper on Friday evening a story reporting that there were several confirmed cases of hepatitis in the Oklahoma City schools. According to the information that we have from the County Health Department is that the two cases were in the same family and they were children who attend Parmelee School. The other case is an employee who works in this building in the Personnel Department. Just to refresh your memory on the Board and administrative procedures with respect to dealing with confirmed cases of hepatitis, we work very closely with the City/County Health Department and with their expertise in the medical field take our direction very much from them along with our consultant physician who works with our coordinator of nurses and with Jim Johnson and his staff in Special Services.
When the City/County Health Department believes that we should take some special efforts to notify parents of a particular class where children may have a confirmed case of hepatitis, or in a school, we take their direction and do so. They also have informed us,as have other medical authorities, that infectious hepatitis is transmitted through close contact and the sharing of utensils or towels or something of that sort, and that they do not automatically recommend that people be told to go out and get gamma globulin shots just because they may hive been in the same room with somebody who contacted or was in contact with the ^disease or was infected. So we look at each situation and communicate very closely sfjsrith the Health Department and take our cue from them in terms of what we should - do with respect to a follow-through and follow-up with parents and students in the schools. The other thing that we do not do is approve requests for homebound instruction for students who have infectious hepatitis for what, I think, are obvious reasons, that we do not want the teachers going into the homes to provide the instruction where the infectious disease exists. 4.
Petition from Teaching Staff at Hillcrest Elementary School I have received a copy of a petition,which I think you have also, from the teaching staff at Hillcrest Elementary School asking that we look again at the beginning and ending time schedule for the five ejementary schools that we placed on the same schedule as the middle schools for this school year because it enabled us to do some rerouting of buses to make more efficient use of those vehicles in the transportation routes and the resulting saving of $180,000 on twelve routes. . .Unless I receive specific direction to the contrary from you, my intention would be to continue that practice for next year of those five schools because if we are to go back to the other schedule for those five schools, we would have to reinstate the twelve bus routes and at next year's cost per bus route we are talking more than $180,000, and I think the money can be better spent in other areas.
Many of the concerns thSt-tfie teachers at Hillcrest expressed about the starting and ending time, of course, are the same kinds of concerns that a middle school teache? might also put forth. As long as we have the staggered schedules, we are not going to be able to:ssatisfy everybody with those starting and ending times. You will recall that lasfrygar when we were looking at this proposal during the budget deliberations, you did-ask and we responded with a survey of parents and the response that we got from the' survey was a jnixed one, but with respect to the parents we leaned more toward the latยงr. -schedule"^' We have had some feedback from parents in each of the schools where there arerS few who would prefer to go back to the earlier schedule. We have had feedback from a few who have said we really like the late schedule, and we haven't heard a great deal from those that may be in-between or who haven't expressed a view. What it really comes down to is one of priorities and dollar savings, and my recommendation would be that we not put $200,000 or so in the twelve additional bus routes to change the time back, but that we stick with the same schedule for next year. If you want me to do something else I would like to have some direction; otherwise, we will go ahead and plan and have the same schedule in those schools for next year.

Taylor School Property
Dr. Payzant called Mr. Darrel Shepard, Director of Business Management, to the podium and asked that he share with the Board what their understanding had been of its expectations for proceeding under the earlier action with the Taylor property.
Mr. Shepard reported:
In review, one of the things that we have been trying to do over the last few months was to see if we could work out an arrangement with the Neighborhood Association there in the Zachary Taylor area so that we could solicit their support for potential zoning change for a portion of that land, with the idea being that if we had that zoning change going in that the property could be worth much more, and conceivably then we could allow more of the area to be dedicated to the City for the park. The City has $80,000 to spend. If you look at the appraised value of this particular piece of property, the ground itself was appraised at about one dollar a square foot. The total value of that piece of property is somewhere around $235,000 or $240,000. What we are in the process of doing right now, since the Neighborhood Association could not give us the support that we felt we would like to have, we are in the process right^now of continuing to go in and subdivide that property with the idea in minc^ of sei Ting as much property as we can for $80,000 to the City, and at the same.,time not end up with less for the property than the appraised value. I thifi-k that is what our goal has been all the time, that we would sell any of the property for no less than the average opinion of value.
.
To do -this at this point since I received the communique from Mr. Pollard about the middle part of January, we have gone to our engineering staff and asked them to draw up some tentative boundaries. These boundaries were reviewed with the appraiser; were also reviewed with an architect-as he tried to say how much land dowe have to have with that little building to make that piece of property worth a certain dollar figure. And that is where we are right now. We are trying to establish what those boundaries should be for the two subdivided pieces. After we establish what that will be, the next step will be to go to the City and say here is the amount that we can allow you to have for $80,000, assuming that as we go on to the marketplace with a balance of this piece of property, put it out on open bid, zoned as it is right now, with a minimum bid as we established at the last Board meeting, establishing what that minimum bid would be, that if that is, .sold for that bid, then would you be agreeable to buy the balance of this for $80,000. So when we get that commitment, then we will proceed with the advertised sale.
There are ..two people with the City that we are working with right now;T’wouId hope to. have some type of commitment from them the latter part of this week to see if they will accept our boundraTi-e-s,..^Those persons are Mr. Greg Powell and Mr. Jim Manning. If they agree-with that then my next step at this point would be to put the,piece of property on the market, following the same procedure that we have for al T'other surplus property. Mr. Shepard proceeded to explain some- correspondence which had been received from persons in the Taylor School neighborlTocKkwhereby an option had been mentioned to go ahead and put one-third of the land area with the' building on the market and sell the balance of the property to the City for $8O,OQ0,Wuch wa^the option that they were shooting for. Dr. Payzant.commented that if>the Board did not want them to proceed along the lines which were established before, they would need some direction to go in another way; and if not, recognizing that nothing would happen until it was acted on at a Board meeting, they would proceed under the earlier guidelines, subdivide the property, sell’ a portion to the City for $80,000 and put the other piece up for sale using the procedure that the Board had established.
Commenting further, Mr. Shepard stated that he would suggest that they not sell the portion to the City until after they had an opportunity to see what the market was going to provide for the portion that they would advertise, so that they would try to cote out with a bottom figure equal to the appraised value or opinion ofvalue; that if the City were to agreb to the procedure, buy the amount of land for $80,000, they could hold that in abeyance and go ahead and advertise and then bring the two back to the Board as a package.
After Mrs. Hill inquired as to whether the property had been appraised for commercial zoning, Mr. Shepard stated that the value of any property was not known until it was put on the market; that the appraisers only gave an opinion of value on it, what they felt like the district ought to try to sell it for the way it was already set up; that he thought it.would have to be rezoned unless it met guidelines for some type of institution similar to Pathways Child Development, which was presently there and was

Mr. Shepard indicated that Pathways Child Development had expressed an interest in the property and he thought that when it was determined potentially what they would be able to sell it for, that it would give them something to do in terms of fund-raising to see if they could buy it.

Maintenance
There are all things that go through your mind when you listen to the testimony at the hearings as to how you can possibly respond about maintenance, and I find myself nodding in agreement on some things and thinking that is very accurate and in some instances knowing full well that in other instances the information is in error or overstated,and that the one thing that I don't want to do is to .come across as being overly defensive. On the other hand, I don't want to'let the maintenance people take a bad rap when it is not deserved, because one of the things that has happened in the last month is that we have all, board members, administration and maintenance people, everybody in the system has been under tremendous pressure to respond to all kinds of things that have occurred. And given the climate and that environment I think the Maintenance Department has bjgen doing a remarkable job in trying to keep its cool and respond under that ^tremendous pressure. Having said that, there needs to be more done. The greatest danger as I see it is that we will escalate the response in terms of *-the "squeaky wheel," because if we keep doing that then we never will really get a hold of the overall problems which have to be addressed much more systematically, and ^somebody has got to take the responsibility and make the judgment that cracked windowpanes,are not as important as replacing temperature pressure safety valves, to use an extreme example. And I only do that to say that there is a range of work given resources available that has to be done in some kind of rank or priority order, and in the short term that is what we have got to do. We have got to respond to those emergencies first.
A lot of what happened last week would not fit within the context of the comments that were made this evening, and I am talking about the buildings that we had to close down to make repairs in. Several of those buildings were our newer buildings, Eisenhower and Van Buren. We could have had our backlog completely up to date and everything running in topnotch order and what happened at Eisenhower in terms of a valve needing to be repaired, or at Buchanan where there was a gas .leak in a pipe; it could have happened anywhere in this district and will on any given day. So I don't want people to put that kind of occurrence into the same assessment as they do when they take a look at things that have been neglected. So we are going .to have that kind of thing, particularly in bad weather.with the extremes in temperature, the heavy rains, freezing, snow thawing, 60's'today and maybe teens next week, and we have to have a way to respond to that. Perhaps the thing that occurred last week>4ka^Uwa&._different was that even though we had people literally working ar-d’und the clock on some of these projects, that we fourid ourselves,in a situation where not only did we not have parts in stock but they weren't in Stock in Oklahoma City, and we had to go to Tulsa or Dallas or elsewhere to get them, but there was no choice. We weren't going to have heat in the building; you had to close school down, and I would do that again. So look at those kinds of things in that'-eontext. There is a backlog, a significant backlog in maintenance and I think the issue that is being raised tonight in part is how werSre going to address that. There is a relationship to the bond issue; as Mr. Donwerth noted, in this sense. The bond issue will provide for major capital improvements but in areas that if those capital improvements are not made there will be great need for day-to-day "Band-Aid1 maintenance. Replacement of major sections of roof; upgrading boilers, thermostats heating systems; electrical modernization; ceilings; I could go on and on. If the bond issue major work is ;.not done in those buildings then the day-to-day kinds of things will have to be picked up by maintenance; there won't be the money to correct the overall problems that will be a "Band-Aid" kind of operation arid, as you know, as you go around putting Band-Aids on you lose a lot of energy and resources; you never really get to the source of the problem. So there is a relationship and although this bond issue will not provide for all capital improvements that are needed, it will take a major first step and it will mean that less BuiIdfng Levy Fund money would have to be used for those kinds of projects.
Now what are we doing to deal with the longer term problem? As you know, we have been working with a consultant, Kapner, Wolfberg and Associates, for the better part of the year, and out of that work has come a number of major changes. One of the things that has happened is that we have installed a totally different work order system, and the work order system has still got to operate in this sense

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Dr. Payzant continued:

Maintenance cont'd based on the observations made by people at the location where there is some kind of breakdown or repair needed. The Maintenance Department out at the Service Center and the people down here, or board members in their homes can't know about what is occurring in a particular building unless it is reported from the source. There are basically three simple pieces to the communication of need. When there is an emergency the emergency is called in preferably by the principal or a person specifically delegated by him or her at the building to do that right on the spot, at the time that the emergency is discovered. That call is made to the Maintenance Department where a dispatcher is working full time and the dispatcher gives top priority to the emergency calls and dispatches the crews to deal with those emergencies as they come in. If the principal is not in the building there is a procedure that should be known in every building on how to deal with that. So it shoul.d not be necessary to call one of the Unions and only be able to get results from that kind of call. If the principal isn't there, and the operations director can't be reached, then my office always can. There is somebody in there full time. If I am not there, my assistant Mr. Ginn usually is, and there is a way for getting those emergencies tracked if something falls through on the regular procedure and the principal for some reason might not be in the building. jK..
There; is a second category of work; we are not talking about paperwork but about a phone call; a second category of work which we call as soon as possible. That is rfbl quite as euphemistic as it may sound. We are talking about 24 to 48 hours. It is not going to be something that is going to be dangerous to anybody in the immediate building but it ought to be done within 24 to 48 hours. That work too is called in. It doesn't require a work order and the time that it takes for a work order to clear the mail service and get to maintenance. And that designation is made by the dispatcher or put in the work to be scheduled by the supervisors and handled on a as-soon-as-possible basis, hopefully within 48 hours. The rest of the work that does not fall into either of those two categories should be filed in a written work order which is initiated by the principal at the school level. At the school level that can be called to the principal's attention by the custodian, by a teacher, by a parent, by a secretary, by a student, but the principal is the one who is responsible foreseeing that those work orders get in. And one of the first things that I will do, because it has got to be some accountability there when I get calls, is to check and see whether a work order has been filed. The new work order system is going to do a number of things that the .ojd^y/ffirk order system did not. First of all, it is going to provide for a feedback procedure that will not only indicate to the principal when the work is completed, but when it is going to be scheduled, when he or she can expect the work to be done, and then a procedure'will be built in for signing off that<the work has been completed and checking that off.
That is not a lot of red tape aridzn-t-is~naL_a.jQt of complication but it'still doesn t get to the issue of hav-i-ng more work than there are resources available to accomplish in any given time period, but in terms of the communication pattern, it ought not to-be that complicated. Where principals have lost track or think that something is falling through the cracks, there i^ also procedure built into that new system for who they calU-to track a work order to see exactly where it is, and who is responsible for answering; an appeal procedure if they are not getting the answers, and not to go through tenApeopLe_, a fairly short appeal procedure that can get right to the top within; two .orjthree steps. So that is being implemented and being put in place.' There are some other issues that are being addressed, namely those of allocation of resources and product-! vity, getting the best out of the dollars being invested. And a number of changes have been made in the size of work crews and the staffinq of the various craft areas, the supervisory responsibilities, the establishing of work standards, so that it is possible to have some sense of what time should be required to do a whole variety of jobs, so that if it is a one-hour job and somebody is taking an hour and a half or two hours to do it; there can be something done about'it. So we have got a new system of work standards in place against which which we are judging performance and productivity, and that has been a major effort as the result of working with our consultants.
There is another thing that needs to be done and this has not been done yet, but Dr. Smith and I are working with Dr. Stripling and Mr. Samples and others in the Maintenance Department to put it in place. This district has never really had the resources or given priority to the development of a preventive maintenance program. The answer to the question why is a very simple one. We have never gotten the backlog down sufficiently to be able to put resources into a preventive maintenance program and there has always been a loud enough "squeaky wheel" over here to do something else to keep us from doing it. My view of what is going to have to happen

Remarks Dr. Payzant cont'd
Maintenance cont'd now is with a strong commitment to emergencies and as-soon-as-possible work being top priority, that we have got to take some of our resources that are left. And even if we don't eliminate that backlog and a lot of things that people would like to have done but are not pressing, that we take some of those resources and start implementing this summer a preventative maintenance program that can begin to get us on a correct cycle for doing things that would prevent breakdowns from happening and will save money and time over the long haul. Unless I have somebody tell me I shouldn't do that, that is what I intend’;to go ahead and do. I have given to the board members a proposal for moving ahead with the employment of an inspector, a person who would work out of the Safety Department and Business Office here rather than the Maintenance Department in the Service Center. That person, and I don't want to lead anybody on, in my view ought not to be accountable to the world because nobody can be. That person ought to be accountable through the Assistant Superintendent to me, but the records of that person's work and inspection would be public records and available to this Board or whomever, and that person in my view would be spending seventy-five to eighty percent of his or her time in the schools and in the building locations around the district doing inspections. My hope would also be that we will have additional support ,/eas the result of legislation that has been introduced from outside agencies that 11 provide some external inspections on an ongoing basis of perhaps vessels, 'heating systems and so forth, because I think Tf that happens it just helps with everybody'screidibi 1 ity and it provides a good check and balance on the internal inspections that we might conduct.
-
Although there has not been as much public attention earlier, it has not been unusual for a number of concerns to build up .about the general condition of a particular building, for me to then ask tha’t the appropriate operations director and principal and maintenance officials do a complete survey of that building and review past work orders, current work orders, and get an up-do-date current assessment of what really needs to be done, set some priorities, and go about trying to get those things done in a systmatic way as quickly as possible. The danger is that does in part respond to the "squeaky wheel" and if you do too much of that you can't do the other things that need to be done. But it does happen and I have already got people looking at Northwest, and we will do some of those kinds of.things at Northwest. But I can't do some of the other things &nd expect the Maintenance Department to perform and get hold of the larger issue if we are always responding just to the "squeaky wheel." So in this period of transition we have got to do some of both, we have got to respond to those things that are most pressing and not look like we are ignoring them because..we don't want to, but at the same time put enough time and attention and resources into dealing with the larger issue, that the long-term solution will really come. In the case of special kfnas of project which are districtin’de., like the replacement of the..temperature pressure safety valves on the hot water tanks, we are going to have to use some General Fund money for that because the Building Levy which is the only budgeKthat Maintenance has wUl not sustain that kind of expense. I am going to 'do^-that because it is important, it is a high priority, even if we have to come back with a supplemental budget in the spring and go into reserve, and we will do that with outside contractors. That is in process and we are having trouble getting valves.^ I guess^ecple all over the region and country are looking for safety valves, because we have exhausted the supplies in Oklahoma City and are having to go elsewhere to get them and we are buying them as >quickly as we can'Where they are available.
So that is the kind of overall approach that we are taking. We will respond on the short-term things as quickly as we can with a real assessment of those things that are most pressing and emergencies, but we are also addressing in a planning sense the work order system,productivity, work standards, a preventative maintenance program, an inspector, and are putting those things into place now and will Be through the spring and summer to try to address the overall problem. And with success of the bond issue, that will give us some breathing room too on some of the bigger issues' so that we can move forward and address even more with our maintenance budget.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF FEBRUARY 15, 1982 - CONT'D
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Members of the Board proceeded to inquire and comment regarding the Superintendent's remarks.
With respect to the new system of getting the work orders up to date, Mrs. Brody inquired about the kind of timelines that had been planned, to which Dr. Payzant responded that the new work order system as far as what was required was in the process of being implemented presently; that he would suspect that if they were to take a particular school, they would find some work orders that had been submitted and were current; they would find other things where there had never been any work orders submitted; and they may find some where there were work orders in the backlog going back to some months. He added that what would have to be done would be to get all of those that were not there, there and filed, and those that were currently scheduled on a priority basis; that they would really have to rely very much on the people at the building level, mainly the principals, to do the initial overview, and where it could not be done by them or they needed assistance, they would have to ask for it so that the service could either be provided with people from Maintenance or elsewhere to walk the schools with them and help them make the determination. He also stated that they would have to work with Custodial Services to make sure that they were picking up their piece of responsibility. As to how long all of that would take, Dr. Payzant stated that he could not make the commitment to stop and do each school immediately; that he would respond in part to the "squeaky wheel ," but would have to look at the overall problem and try to address that more systematically and he thought it was going to t^ke several months to get a real handle on the backlog, the preventative maintenance program, and get that all in place. Mrs. BrcMy inquired further as to if principals were going to be asked to go back through all of their work orders or to file all new work orders? Dr. Payzant- 'replied that he would say to principals that if there was any doubt in their mind about a work order on a'particular item being in that they doublef-check ;to. .make sure that it was or submit a new one, but if they were on file and they had records to that effect, they would not have to go back and redo them all; that he would question the claims about the ones that were six, seven and eight years old, and if he were a principal he would be checking those specific ones to see if they were on file and updated.
Mrs. Brody commented that she thought they were 30ing to have to improve the accountability of all of maintenance; that if they were really going to change the system and try to get on top of the situation, they were going to have to have an accountability system and it could not be in the rank and file order of the person who had all he. could handle. She expressed concern about Kapner, Wolfberg & Associates (consultants on Work Management System) and their reports regarding the Maintenance Department and any difference in that department since their employment; and that she thought the. bottom line was accountability of people who could be accountable.
In her comments, Mrs. Hermes stated that she would like to propose to the Board that in preparing the budget for next year t-hat-soajie money be earmarked just for preventative maintenance but that they contract a lot of the glazing problems, flooring problems the locksmiths, ceiling tile repair, etc., to get it all done so they could start from there. ' ~ Mrs. Darrell injected the thought -of^the district doing a cost comparison on contracting custodial services, statiii'g that she believed they had reached a point and time where they may have to look at flewkinds"of systems and contracted janitorial services might be one that they should considerfhat they..might find it would be very cost effective. " " ~
Dr. Payzant..responded that they would take a look at it but stated that you would have to take into consideration that when they contracted for cleaning services, they would still need a custodial staff to handle the boilers and heating systems, recognizing that they did have two different functions. Mrs. Hill, too, commented about the accountability of maintenance employees and the possibility of picking up some employees to help get caught up. She also referred to some of the recommendations submitted by Kapner, Wolfberg and Associates, stating that she wondered if they thought they were advisable, and if so when they would be instigated. She referred specifically to the Maintenance Analyst; that the job description was apparently completely changed from the original recommendation and she was wondering why.
[
In response, Dr. Payzant stated that perhaps the biggest difference of opinion that they had with the consultants was that they wanted to^keep the Maintenance Analyst separate and in control of the scheduling of work, and the maintenance staff felt very strongly that the supervisor still had to have a major role in the actual scheduling of the work that they were going to be responsible for supervising; that he was put in the position of having to break the logjam, so he went with the staff recommendation
Remarks Dr. Payzant cont'd

MINUTES OF MEETING OF FEBRUARY 15, 1982 - CONT'D
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Remarks Dr. Payzant cont1 d
that the actual responsibility for the scheduling and follow-through of supervision *of the work go back to the supervisors, which was why the change occurred. He added that with respect to some of the other recommendations, they either had implemented them or were in the process of implementing them.
Dr. Payzant commented further that they were trying to hire some maintenance people in * two of the craft areas where /they were needed most , but unfortunately they were having trouble getting them in several of the areas. Dr. Hamm stated that he, too, concurred with the idea of accountability but would include the rank and file in light of some remarks that were made during the hearings portion that some of the rank and file maintenance personnel were drinking coffee or watching television; that they needed to be held accountable as well. He also stated that he thought the dollar savings derived from the study on maintenance should be put back into the Maintenance Department, preferably preventive maintehanae./ In additional comments, Dr. Hamm mentioned the petition from the Hillcrest Elementary School teachers, where that school along with four others had been placed on an earlier starting time which was advantageous to the district in a savings of $180,000. He suggested that possibly there were other elementary schools in the district where a time change could be made, with additional savings of bus routes and the expenses thereof could be gained by the district. He asked that the Superintendent study that suggestion and come back with some recommendations to the Boa^L Dr. Payzant stated that on the recommendation of Ecotran, with whom they were working, they felt that the combination of the five schools recommended provided the maximum benefit that they could get because they were running triple routes in a number of other situations, but h& would look at it again and if there were additional savings that could be made by altering starting time, he would be back with that kind of recommendati on. With regard to some of the Hillcrest Elementary School teachers not being happy: with the starting time at their school, Mrs. Hill stated that maybe something could be worked out where teachers might want to transfer and enjoy a later schedule.
Mrs. Darrell commented that with respect to startint time her concern was always with the patrons and the students; that if they were going to have to change starting times again, they would have to deal with a survey of the patrons, because her concern was how it was going to impact them, and especially if it was on the elementary level. Dr.. Payzant continued:
7. Federal Cutbacks and Reduction in- Force One of the speakers broughTz^jjp^'th^qw-siion of federal cutbacks and reduction in force, and I wanted to let^he Board know that we are beginning now to try and anticipate.what the impact might be of any cuts that would occur so that we will have an earlier timeline this year for giving the Board information about any projected cuts that might come and not have people at the last minute on the night that the Board is being a'S'ke'^Lto take action prior to April 10, hearing things for the first time. We can do'aprettythorough job on the General Fund positions and I don't anticipate that we will have major-impacts on the General Fund because we are projecting an'increase in students, for^he^ year which will mean additional teaching positions. The only place we may get'^nto difficulty is at the high school level where we still will have declines for a year or two where we may get some cutbacks there and it would depend on where the people can be placed in other positions and ate qualified to take them. I am going to make every effort to do a good job on the federal business as well, but that is just so hard to know with any degree of certainty what is going to happen. We will give you the best information that we have got in the most timely fashion and be weir ahead of last year's schedule and try to do a better job of informing people early, but it still may be necessary to recommend some reductions, particularly with the federal programs, but I don't expect that we are talking about anything nearly as substantial as last year.
Mr. Donwerth commented that with regard to the Hillcrest situation and the savings of $180,000, that it had been used to defray part of the RIF in that they were able to keep some of the teachers. He also stated that in the area of maintenance, he thought the thing that plagued the entire country was lack of productivity, the overmanning of personnel on minor jobs; that he could not see any reason why"it should take three or four people to make a single service call when one skilled craftsman could make the call. In closing, he stated that he thought they should be held accountable and that they should demand more productivity and not overstaff the crews as it had been in the past; that if they could find a savings in that area, it would provide more funds to take care of some of the problems the district was experiencing.

NEW B.USINESS
& Mrs. Brolly made a comment and presented the..following motion: "As *a result of the recent fatal accident at Star, and the startling revelation of unsafe boilers and water heaters that has been brought to this board's attention as a result of inspection of all this district's remaining boiler and water heating facilities, I would like at this time to make a formal motion to this board's membership as follows:
"I move that the board adopt as policy and-by resolution that all repairs and/or replacement of all water heaters and heating boilers within the schools of this district be serviced by contract agreement; that all repairs and/or replacement of said boilers and water heaters shall be by a qualified contractor; that said contractor and his employees shall possess as a minimum the qualification of a Journeyman Craftsman authenticated by proof that the contractor and his employees had adequate training by advancement to the Journeyman Craft through a bona fide apprenticeship program, as approved by the U. S. Bureau of Apprenticeship and training." After inquiry by Mr. Donw.erth with regard' to the urgency of voting on the motion, Dr. Payzant stated that he had a concern about the ability of a contract when "they had no direct control over the contractors.
Discussion continued as Mrs. Brody-S-fated that her answer to Dr. Payzant would be to then shut the boilers down; if there was not a qualified person to work on them, to shut the boilers down. Further concern was expressed by^Dr.^..Payzant about time Tags in terms of getting people to respond to get the work don^ and. .the fact of taking a look at what you could realistically expect from contractors in~terms of'service agreements. He cited as an example the ability to respond more quicklj^,with_the district's own bus transportation services versus those that the contractors’ do,rTstciting that it was a general kind of thing that you run into with contracted services. ■_ ■-* < -’v As an explanation of the motion, Mrs. Brody stated that she was asking for a Journeyman Craftsman, which was beyond a licensed plumber and was one that had gone through schooling, apprenticeship and journeyman qualifications; that speed was not the criteria, but quality work on the boilers and heaters, which she thought would move it beyond expediency and having someone in the shop who was a licensed plumber to go work on it.
Dr. Payzant asked Mrs. Brody if she would see an an option the requirement that people who perform their work that would be school district employees would have the same qualifications that she would insist of a person who was working for a contractor to perform the same work? Mrs. Brody stated that if Journeyman Craftsmen were employed by the she would like to know it and,’ if so would come back and modify the meantime she would feel more secure by having people who would meet because they were the ultimate qualifications for working on boiler
school district, motion; but in the those qualifications and heater systems.
For Consideration at Next Meeting of the Board

MINUTES OF MEETING OF FEBRUARY 15, 1982 - CONT'D
For Consideration at Next Meeting of the Board cont1d
NEW BUSINESS
Dr. Payzant and members of the Board continued with discussion of a system that could be used for hiring the contractor as stated in the motion; the fact that only a person *with a Journeyman Craftsman status would work on the boilers and hot water heaters, the requirements to become a licensed plumber; the fact that all plumbers who are employed by the school district have both city and state licenses; and other. Mr. Donwerth explained that school system plumbers do not come under license laws of the state; that he thought the Legislature should work hard toward changing the law and that they would probably do so during the current session.
Members of the Board continued to discuss the level of qualifications for a Journeyman as defined by the school system and that of a Journeyman Craftsman as referred to in the motion, in that in order to qualify for a Journeyman Craftsman the person would have to first go to an accredited school and then serve as an apprentice, and be approved by the U. S. Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training. After further discussion, Dr. Hamm suggested that instead of voting on the motion that- evening that they be provided with a table of comparisons of what was required in order that they could make a judgment.
Mrs. Brody consented to the suggestion. Mention was made of outside contractors that were presently working for the system, as tq^their qualifications, etc. *Hi Mrs,. 11 also commented regarding the need to definitely consider the cost factor that would be involved. Discussion also took place with respect to if the motion were passed, how it Would affect persons who were,al ready employed by the district in the area of plumbing; the need to inform employees about what was being considered by the Board, and other.
Following the discussion, Mr. Donwerth stated that the motion would be on the agenda for the March 1 meeting.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Remarks Dr. Payzant
Dr. Payzant reported:
*1.
Bond Election I don't need to say to members of the board that I was extremely disappointed at the events of last week which led to the postponement of the bond election, and I am very gratified by the action taken by this board on Saturday to reschedule the election for March 30 of this year. I pledge to you the continued support and effort to make sure that the needs of the district and the plan for which the money is needed will be clearly stated and information shared in such a way that people will have an opportunity to be well informed.
The most disheartening thing in all of that was the number of hours that the many volunteers had put in and the peak which they were rising to in anticipation of the election taking place tomorrow. They I am sure are going to come back with new enthusiasm and support of others in the community and we look forward to a lot of hard work in the 30 days ahead which we now have prior to the March 30th election.
2.
Eugene Field and Wil lard Educational Specifications
I would like to note an attachment in your packet of materials which deals with the proposed educational specifications for the new elementary school that will ' replace Eugene Field and Wiljard. This work is the result of a committee of teachers and administrators chaired by Jack Isch, and although it is not cast "'In final form, it is in sufficient detail to pass on to the architects so that *the architects can complete some preliminary work which is needed before we bring to you a specific recommendation on site. You will recall that we were looking at three sites; one, the existing Willard School site; and, two, the existing Eugene Field site; and, three, a site in the McKinley Park area that would use a portion of the park and some adjoining property, depending upon the specifications and preliminary design of the school.
Last week I had the opportunity to speak at the Classen Ten-Penn Neighborhood Association where there was good turnout, probably 50 or more people; it was an opportunity for a lot of discussion on this topic as well as others and generally a favorable reaction to the alternative of locating the school in the McKinley Park area in conjunction with some adjoining property. We have been continuing our discussion with officials from the City concerning this project and I am going to work very hard to have a specific recommendation for you at your next board meeting, March 22. 3. '
Maintenance Department It is true that I made some references to the "squeaky wheel" at the last meeting and I certainly recognize the need to get beyond the "squeaky wheel"to’ deal more systematically with all of the issues that relate to maintenance in the school district.' I think it is imipo-rta.nt.fpr you to know that as the result of careful follow-up and the day or two'fol lowing the board meeting last time, I found that some of the information that was presented to you was accurate concerning the condition'of the building at Northwest Classen, a number of work orders that had or had not been submitted, and the number of work orders that had been completed or were not complete. Gf the work orders that were on file, there were thirteen (13) that were oustanding, ahd-.tlip.se have been reviewed and the work is in progress, has been completed or will be scheduled shortly. We found on the list of work that was suggested to be done that a'number of the items had indeed been completed, and we found other items where work-o'rders had not been introduced at all. This is not surprising to me in that when "I have encountered similar situations before, I ..usually find that whomever is responsible for bringing the information to you will have a number of relevant points that are accurate, sometimes some incorrect information through no fault of the person who might bring it and often information that has never been shared with the Maintenance Department in the first place.
So a combination of those things occurred at Northwest. I think we are on top of tha.t situation and my goal is to be on top of a situation in all 100 buildings.

Memo to Principals Re Work Requests I also included'-in your packet a copy of a memo and some regulations that are in the mail to principals today concerning the handling the work requests. I won't go through it in detail but it essentially follows the explanation that I gave at the last meeting in an attempt to clarify-exactly what process should be used with: respect to emergency requests and routine work. The memo also states unequivocally to the principals that I do not want the responsibility for overseeing the work request process to be delegated to others, and that the principal will be personally responsible for this particular assignment. There are also clearly stated procedures for dealing with emergencies and procedures for making sure that if the process breaks down at one level, that a person at the next level will be notified and without the time delay that is sometimes attributed to

Remarks Dr. Payzant cont'd
Class Size Report I put before you this evening the copy of a class size report that was prepared by Dr. Williams for me as the result of her analysis just a couple of weeks It is a good sign that enrollment ago of class sizes in the elementary schools, is up particularly in the elementary schools and fifth year centers, and the problems of growth are always easier to deal with than the problems of decline, although both can be frustrating. There were 22 teaching positions that were included as a contingency in the 1981-82 budget which you approved last spring. Those teaching positions were quickly allocated early in the school year as the result of the enrollment increases. I came back to you at a meeting in the fall and asked for authorization to hire an additional 15 positions. So overall we have, added 37 positions above what was budgeted on projected enrollment in the 1981-82 budget. After those positions were gone, I began a practice of working with Dr. Williams whereby we added teacher aides to schools where there were high class sizes and where it was not possible to redistribute children to balance classes sufficiently within an existing school. ’ I do not have additional teaching positions to allocate. In fact, I have not had additional aide positions to allocate either but have gone ahead in several of these instances where the enrollments have been high and have made the decision that I didn't have any choice but to do so. And if I have to transfer money from one account to another at *the end of the school year, I will so recommend at that time. As of now, we have aides assigned to the schools where the class sizes 29, 30 and above, with the exception of Bodine where the staff and principal have agreed to a staffing arrangement that frees a teacher from a regular class assignment to work on reading, and that has resulted in higher individual class sizes but with the concurrence of the teaching staff there.

Community Agencies Re Star School
Mrs. Darrell asked earlier about what follow-up was done concerning the question raised at the last board meeting about the children and families at Star who were in need of services provided by community agencies? We have done two kinds of follow-up. One, we have worked with the Coordinator of Guidance, Director of Elementary Education, the principal; Dr. Williams .and I visited the school last week and spent a couple of hours there talking with the teachers and with the principal to try and make sure that the information from the agencies is available for the parent and that as long as we know where there is going to be a possible request for services, that the counselor at the school can do any paving of the way that might be helpful to the parent who is going to make contact with the agency. We have also made the commitment after receiving initial feedback" from the teaching staff that a full-time counselor was no longer needed every day at the school. Rather than just as-sign-the..counsel or one day a week as I had indicated before, we have now decided wi-t-h the concurrence of the principal and staff to have the counselor, assigned to the school three days a week and then on call as needed the other two days of the week. It will be the counselor that the staff and children know and have be’en^working with.
With reference to some remarks made earlier by Ms. Stoneking, Mrs. Hill stated that she thought her concern was what would happen to-the Star students the next semester. She added that she had also received phone caJJs-;with Tfiejsame concern. Dr. Payzant stated that he had been telling people all along that he would address that in; a systematic way;: that he would try to get a sense of what the broad Star community, parentsand-teachers thought about the various options that were available; that he would follow through with a plan for getting feedback from people about what they thought ought to happen and then bring that back to the board with a plan; and that he perhaps would have it for the board at the March 22nd meeting, but no later than the first or second meeting in April. Mrs. Darrell commented to Dr. Payzant that in developing s plan for communicating with the Star patrons, she would hope that he would give serious consideration to doing it in such a way that'-he could have direct input from the affected parents; that she thoughf-therewer^ a lot of different positions, attitudes, understanding, etc., that was going on in the community but her primary concern was that they hear from the patrons at Star, and she hoped he would develop a methodology that would go beyond convening a meeting.
[
In response, Dr. Payzant stated that he was thinking about a direct mailing to every parent, with the opportunity to provide a written response, rather than convening a series of meetings.

Mrs. Hermes inquired about Item 6, that it did not appear to be a bid item, after which Dr. Payzant explained that the company was the only vendor that could make the repair.
Inquiry was also made by Mrs. Hermes with respect to Item 7, that she wanted some clarification as to the type of clock that was involved and why they did not take the lowest bid. Mr. SJiepard and Mr. Dean explained that a school has a system of bells and all of the clocks on a master system and basically the item was a master system that would go int$a school system; that the particular clock was electronic in operation and the clock that it was replacing was mechanical and they were trying to get away from the mechanical type clock. Mrs. Hill then asked about Item 11, purchase of electric motors to repair clocks, and wbiuld they be over-supplied with motors if the idea was to change over to the clocks with electronic operation? Mr. Dean replied that the present supply of motors was low and the order pending was to try and get motors and start and stop mechanisms to keep the rest of the clocks in the system running. After Mrs. Darrell inquired about what the ASME meant in Item 12, Mr. Donwerth stated that it was the acronym for American Society of Mechanical Engineers and was the best code that you could get on a hot water heater. •Orrroll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.
GENERAL BUSINESS L #61 Approval to Appoin Appraisers Re ’roperty at louglass High ichool Site
A motion was made by Mrs. DarreiTl and seconded by Mrs. Brody to approve the appointment of appraisers to furnish a report, an opinion of value, of a parcel of property located at the-southeast corner of the Douglass High School site. Lee Caesar, Member of the American Society of Appraisers, to serve as an appraiser for the Board at a fee of $250.00. The Parks Departrnept at its own expense to employ one appraiser. The two appraisers to jointly name a'-tlitrd1.certified appraiser as a member of the appraisal team at a fee to the distri-et not~"to exceed $125.00. Mrs. Darrell asked about how much area was in ^hei-pfoperty and was told by Dr. Payzant that it was just under two and one-halfacres. She then expressed a concern with regard to who would be operating the golf course there, stating that it was presently being operated under a lease operation and that even though it was owned by the City Park Department, it didF not provide maintenance on the golf course; that is was leased by a private citizen and a large portion of the proceeds went to a private individual. She added that she would like to know what was planned for the operation of the golf course.
Mr. Donwerth commented that the way the City would use the property after it was sold or traded to them, he did not think the school district would have any control over since it would be their property. Dr. Payzant explained that the recommendation in the agenda was asking for authorization to get the appraisals and before any further action occurred, either to trade or sell, the Board would have to take the appropriate action to authorize it.
After Mrs. Darrell inquired about Lee Caesar being in the recommendation, Mr. Shepard stated that it was his recommendation; that he was one of the three appraisers that the district had been working with on other property; that he had talked with him and another appraiser as well and it was decided that the particular fee seemed to be the most feasible and most economical; that Mr. Caesar was familiar with the district's processes, and these were the reasons he had recommended him.

GENERAL BUSINESS Mrs. Hill then inquired about another small piece of property that would be left, as to whether Douglass would have a use for it or would they be better off selling all of it.
In response, Dr. Payzant stated that ultimately he would hope they would be able to get out of the old facility on the other piece of property which was being used for some industrial arts and vocational classes at Douglass; that the land adjacent to the old facility was nowhere in a plan for development of the Douglass site from the school district's point of view; however, he could not recommend selling the whole thing just yet until all of the vo-tech and industrial arts plans were firm, but utlimately he would hope that they could abandon the old building.
R. #61 Approval to Appoint Appraisers Re Property at Douglass High School Site
After further discussion, Mr. Shepard stated that what they were wanting to do was to establish the value of the property and see if in fact that property might be traded for something else that they would like to have or that they would have a need for the school system that would be of more value to the district than that particular piece of,.property. Mrs. Darrell again expressed her concern of trading the property and it ending up being for the benefit of a private individual; however, Mr. Shepard stated that she would have a chance to speak to that issue later. On roll cqjl, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs^, Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.
It was moved-by Mrs. Brody and seconded by Mrs. Hermes for approval of an agreement with Ecotran Corporation to recoordinate all fifth year center bus routes; and to establish and lease to the District an "on line" Special Education routing program. All work to be completed for implementation for 1982-83 school year. Total cost, not to exceed $22,400, to be charged to Account G520.00.—
Mrs. Hill asked for an explanation of what was meant by recoordinate all fifth year center bus routes.
Mr. Markham, Supervisor of Transportation Services, stated that the plan was to leave all high school, middle school and elementary school routes Tlike they presently were, route the fifth year center students and coordinate those with the existing routes and put them together in combinations; in other words, route all of the students in the fifth year centers and coordinate them with the existing routes. He also stated that the district's computer system was not capable of doing the routing as yet and after meeting with Ecotran it was thought that the recommendation as submitted was more viable Commenting further, Mrs. Hill stated that she did not approve of the recommendation because she thought they should be far enough down the road with Ecotran that the staff could be doing it. - --------
Mr. Markham again .stated that computerwise they were not ready; that it would take about a year or mord"-to move into the phase of establishing the routes themselves; that Ecotran was experienced and coiil^ do it in much less time.
Mrs. Hill then stated that to her they-bad. al ready done what was being recommended for the fifth year centers and asked if he~was saying that they were not going to be able to save any money like was done with the .fTementary s.qhools when they put them with the middle schools1 starting time? ‘ ~ J" * ’
Responding,, Mr. Mark’ham said that item did not address that; however, in meeting with Ecotran the question had-been raised; that they were going to work on some items and come back later with some suggestions and see if some additional savings could be made. Dr. Payzant commented that they had not had Ecotran work with the special education routing before; that the recommendation would include special education for the coming year and it was conceivable that as the result of having them look at the special education transportation, that configuration of classes and class placement and so on might lead to some changes that could result in some further economies. He added that the only reason for doing fifth year every year was that you don't get as predictable a group of students from the same residential areas following the fifth year routes as you do wi'th the elementary, middle and high school; that the goal a year or maybe two years away would be for the district to not use Econtran on a regular basis paying them money, but to put the money into the district's on-line computer system where they would be able to do the work completely with the computer and the program software purchased from them. Dr. Payzant also said that he had seen the system demonstrated and it was an incredible system because it would give the district the capability that when a new child is enrolled in school, to put that child's name and address directly in the computer and get an automatic' route assignment and time and stop, with the information going to the student and to the principal,and to the

driver with an updated listing, and the data base would be current from day to day. Additionally, Dr. Payzant stated that they were over the big expense with the ‘contractor; that the recommendation represented less dollar outlay than in the previous twoyears by a significant amount, and once they got the terminals purchased and investment in software the next year, they should be down to a maintenance level dollar outlay of maybe $20,000 a year to maintain the system which would be very cost effective over the long haul. Dr. Hamm asked for a briefing on the savings that the approach had generated for the district, after which Dr. Payzant stated that for one was the routes related to the five elementary schools that would remain on the later starting and ending times which would be a savings of approximately $200,000 on those routes alone; that he would go back and pull together a report on the savings for the previous year as well. Mr. Markham remarked that the savings was approximately $500,000 the first year that they went into the program, which did not include inflation. Mr. Markham continued by referring to the fact that the amount in the recommendation represented several facets in the area of transportation which would include the fifth year center students special education students, and all of the buses that make door-to-door stops.
Mrs. Hermes asked at what point the district would be able to pull away from Ecotran and have the core and capability of doing it themselves, and if they purchased the CRT as recommended in another item, why would it not give the district the capability to reflate for 1982-83? Mr^Tlarkham's response was that he would hope that by 1983-84 they would be able to operate on their own, which would be the first year they would be able to build their own routes; that the program was much more involved than what that particular op-line system .could handle; that the core they would receive in the summer and put on the computer would be all they would need; that the core for the computer would probably arrive in August and it takes almost a full year to program all the stops, coordinate the routes, and other, which was the reason why it could not be used for the 1982-83 school year. Dr. Payzant commented that the areas of additional expense would be leasing the software package, and if they got to the: point where they wanted to buy more terminals and tubes so they would have the capability to have more than one person at a time working the data base, this is where additiibnal expense would be incurred. Discussion continued with regard to what was being charged to lease the software and the fact that it would never be owned by the district, and other.
After Mrs. Darrell mentioned the fact that they would need to budget anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000 to maintain the software program, Dr. Payzant stated that he wanted to be sure members of the board were aware of the alternatives;. that-'the alternative would be to develop their programs, and in this area where There had not been a great deal of work done across the country, they would be talking about thousands of dollars in developmenT�coTtS';--that if they got to a point where they were talking about $20,000 ayear beginning a year from now, if they were to wipe Ecotran oui-ancLgo to a manual system, they could not begin to do for that amount, nor could they have the kind of results that would give them the deposit of public relations that the system was capable^f providing in terms of instant information of all kinds of things for all kinds of peopT^involved.
Mrs. Darrell commented that she did not think they-could do it manually but there were some other arrangements on how they could>deal-wit_h,.stiftware programs, where they would not have to pay an annual cost; that is, get the software and not have to lease i t. Mr. Markham expressed doubt that a different arrangement for the software could be made with Ecotran and proceeded to point out again some of the savings for the district by using the Ecotran Corporation. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; :Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs.^Hill, na; Mrs. Darrell, abstain; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes.

Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A motion was made at the February 15, 1982 meeting for action at the March 1, 1982 meeting. Motion moved by Mrs. Brody and seconded by Mrs. Darrell as follows:
"I move that the Board adopt as policy and by resolution that all repairs and/or replacement of all water heaters and heating boilers within the schools of this district be serviced by contract agreement; that all repairs and/or replacement of said boilers and water heaters shall be by a qualified contractor; that said contractor and his employees shall possess as a minimum, the qualification of a Journeyman Craftsman authenticated by proof th^t the contractor and his employees had adequate training by advancement to the Journeyman Craft through a bona fide apprenticeship program, as approved by the U. S. Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training." Motion Perfected Mrs. Brody stated that with the approval of the seconder of the motion, she wanted to perfect the motion as follows:
"I move that the Board adopt as its policy a resolution that beginning as as soon as possible that all repairs and/or replacement of all heating systems, water heaters, pressure vessels, heating boilers, steam lines and natural gas lines within and/or serving the schools of this district shall be serviced by contract agreements; that all repairs and/or replacement of heating systems, water heaters, pressure vessels, heating boilers, steam lines and natural gas lines shall be made by a qualified contractor; that said contractor and/or his/her employees who work in the school district's .buildings or on any of the school district equipment shall possess the qualifications of a Journeyman Craftsman which is authenticated by proof that the contractor and/or his/her employees have had adequate training by advancement to the Journeyman Craftsman through a bona fide apprenticeship program as approved by the U. S. Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training-;-^ and that the ratio of apprentices to Journeyman Craftsmen on the contractor's work force assigned to work in OklahomaCity Public Schools shall not exceed the ratio requirements as SeWut in Titel 29, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 29, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, U. S. Department of Labor." Mrs. Brody commented that she di^not put a timeline on it because she would hope that the system would have a time to puisne what was being stalked in the motion in an orderly fashion, because she knew that if it were-to pass there would be people who immediately would probably take advantage of it and she would'like to see the school system do it in a systematic, businesslike way. > -T _ „
After Mrs. Hill stated that the only change she could see in the motion was that if it passed,it would be in effect the next day, Mrs. Brody stated that she had added pressure vessels, steam’lines and natural gas lines which was all encompassing; that before it did not include all of the parts that feed into a boiler and heating system and she had added the parts that were needed to make those things work.
After another inquiry about the persons having to attend school, Mrs. Brody replied that they would have to be an approved Journeyman Craftsman, which would mean that they would have to serve in apprenticeship.
In further discussion Mrs. Hill said that she had been told that there was only one school in Oklahoma City that offered that type of training, after which Mr. Donwerth stated that a school could be set up, but he thought presently that there was only one school set up in Oklahoma City.

Mrs. Brody added that there was this type of school at Okmulgee Tech and Tulsa.
Mrs. Hill referred to the school in Oklahoma City and asked Mr. Donwerth if it were not connected with the Union for which he worked, to which Mr. Donwerth replied that it was the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union; that they have a joint apprenticeship training school that is administered by the Contractors Association and members from Laborers that belong to the committee. Mrs. Hill then asked if it required four years of training and was told by Mr. Donwerth and Mrs. Brody that it required four years of training which included 8,000 hours on-the-job training . In additional comments, Mrs. Hill stated that she understood in visiting with the craftsmen that they had no complaints with the school that they go through after the four years and that it was very good, but she felt like there was a bit of conflict of interest there and that bothered her; that she understood that anyone who went through the school had to be a member of the Union before they could go to the school and, therefore, she felt like they would be eliminating a lot of people out there if the motion passed as it was currently written.
Mr. Donwerth stated that with regard to. the statement made by Mrs. Hill on the conflict of interest, that he administrates the funds for a pension program and an insurance program that is self-funded for that Union and he could not see where the conflict of interest would be. He added, however, that because he did belong to the organization, he wpuld have to abstain from voting on the motion. Mrs. Brody commented that it was not a conflict of interest for her and it was an attempt-to set a standard of qualification and expertise for people who work on very sensitive equipment in the school system, and she did not know how elsfe to get at it; that if someone else had a program that would meet those kinds of qualifications, fine; but those were the ultimate qualifications to work on very sensitive equipment, and she would like to be told how else they couTd get those kinds of qualifications and that level of expertise to be working on those kinds of equipment. Mrs. Hill further stated that she would like to see the district upgrade its current employees and she thought it would behoove them to work with the plumbing people who were already employed in helping them upgrade their standards on that; that they were hiring a safety person who would be working with those employees; that a bill was being considered in the legislature that would provide for having the water heaters and boilers checked on a much regular basis, and, frankly, she thought they were getting where they should be.
In response, Mrs. Brody stated that you could check anything you wanted to; that you could check it every day, but if the level of competency had not been there..to work on it in the first place, it was not going to do any good to check it;>thdt you would have to shut it down and restart and spend a lot more money having people come back out and work On it and try to get>4t~xd.ght^
Mr. Donwerth commented that the Bureau of Apprenticeship Training in the State of Oklahoma; Mr. Nigh from Tulsa, and some other people with the State Bureau of Apprenticeship Training did come to Oklahoma City and met with Mr. Ginn and Ms. Alice Davis on the possibility of setting up an apprenticeship training program within the district, and if that'was.-the root of the problem, it would have nothing to do with any outside organization if the people were trained and became Journeymen under that type of program; that he was n^t^aying"wh jch way they should go on it, but was only saying that there were many areSs'thci^’could be invested in; arid the Superintendent had asked in his memo to the board members for time for a committee to work on it. > Dr. Payzant stated that he simply wanted to have the time and did not know whether it would take two weeks or 30 days, or at the maximum of 45 or 60 days to do what Mrs. Brody was talking about to approach it systematically so that very clear specifications could be written; that if the motion passed, to make sure that they got the contractors who could meet the qualifications and also provide the kind of services particularly with respect to emergencies and response time that they would expect; so that there would be a lot of clarity going on and they would not rush out and get everybody to agree to work and then find that the expectations were not clear. He added that if the motion did pass, that the process which was already in the planning stages wouid begin the next day and he just wanted to do it thoroughly rather than to jump in it in a "half-baked" way.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Mrs. Hermes commented that she thought they were coming at the whole thing in the wrong direction; that she thought that the motion was very good and somewhere down the line she could support it, but that the board'would need to look at the whole Maintenance Department and divide it into its various categories and see where they could afford the contracting and where they couldn't, and where they should set up internal schools to get the qualifications that Weir® needed, which should be their first job; and ask the staff to bring to them the whole maintenance picture. She added that she would hesitate to vote positively for the motion for fear that later on down the line after they had the electrical part of it put together and the painting part and whatever, that the package would be too expensive; that she would really like to take a look at the whole before she could support any of its parts; that as the motion read she was very much in favor of it but just could not say that she was ready to say that was the first priority. Mrs. Brody, stated that she did know what else it would take to make them believe that they were possibly for the motion; that she knew they had to look at the Maintenance Department, but in the meantime they had very sensitive equipment out there that needed some expert people working on it and she would hope that they would upgrade that level by helping the people in the Maintenance Department to achieve higher competencies and she would encourage that; that they be able to pay them what they needed to be paid to stay with that department and the school system, but in the meantime they had 100 schools and she did not know how many boilers and hot water heaters and pressure valves that were being worked on and it made her nervous. ■-&
■
In commenting on the motion, Mrs. Darrell stated that she had seconded it and could support Tt in its content and its philosophy but what was concerning her was th^ she thought they had two possible things that could happen there; that they had a bond election that if it passed on March 30, they would be rid of many obsolete boilers and heaters and other things; that if it should not pass, they were into a different posture altogether; that she did not think they could move anything towards the resolution between then and the 30th and her concern was that to move it as a policy that night might be somewhat premature pending the bond issue election/because they might then be in an entirely different situation. She stated further that she was concerned about the safety and the competency and the whole thing as much as anyone else, but in that they had added some other things, the gas lines, etc., and they all tied together, she could see that there may be. some other needs if the bond issue should not pass, and thinking positively and hoping that it would pass, that it would really present an entirely different situation./ She also asked that if the bond issue passed and all of the boilers and hot water tanks were bought, who would be putting them in; would the manufacturere install them; what kind of warranty on the service wquld, it pose? She added that she did not want them to create a business establishment that was not already out there. In responding to Mrs. Darrell's questions, Mr. Donwerth stated that if the bond jssue passed, the changes, the boilers, hot water heaters and everything new that'Wul'd be purchased would be installed by contract and that those contractors would be putting them in;' that it would not be the Maintenance Depatment doing it in most cases; where there would be any new construction,’ any repairs or anything like that, it would be contracted out; that he could see what Mrs. Brody was saying, that when the bond issue passed and for the period of time until they did not need services of outside, qualified personnel, that the qualified personnel would be important; that it was his understanding that her motion was to take care ofany immediate problems that they presently had. Mrs. Darrell stated that she had thought that, tod/ but it did not seem like they could get there before March 30th anyway and .h^T^oinFwas^that it could be with all of the systems being new and under warranty and being,prrt in by contractors, going the contract route might turn out to be more economical because they might not have as many needed,repairs;that she could see that if the bond issue passed and all of the systems would go in new,'-then the "as needed" maintenance should be much less than what i t was now. In additional comments, Dr. Payzant stated that he really thought it was easy to confuse the bond issue projects that would relate to those areas and the proposal which dealt with maintenance; that although they tend to think of more maintenance being needed or things that were beyond warranty, if they would look at the bond issue proposal, they were still going to have a substantial number of buildings that would not have heating system or vessel work done as the result of the bond issue, and they were still going to have a substantial maintenance responsibility even as a preventative program was put in place, :a.ad hopefully beginning in the summer with work occurring on everything from the oldest to the newest of vessels and systems throughout the 100 buildings. He continued, stating that there was not as close a line! between the two as had been raised; that the other thing was thatwhen the motion was introduced the past week,, he had some real reservations about it because^ there were a lot of questions that he did not have answers to and as they could note from his memo, there were still some questions that he did not have the answers to; that he thought if the
R. #64 Motion Failed Re Policy on Repairs and/or Replacement of Heating Systems, etc. cont'd
no MINUTES OF MEETING OF MARCH 1, 1982 - CONT'D
GENERAL BUSINESS motion passed that night, whi’ch he did support, it should be passed with the R. #64 * understanding that they would have to learn from the experience of the next few Motion Failed Re months, and there might be things that they would find when they actually looked for Policy on Repairs and/or Replacement contractors that they did not anticipate; that they might have to come back and modify or take a slightly different approach; but it was worth looking at seriously of Heating Systems, etc. and he did not think if it was just done in a planning sense it would not get as cont1d serious attention from the potential contractors out there expressing their true interest and ability to respond to a serious proposal that was being made. He added that his recommendation was that they go with it but understand that there were questions yet to be answered, and as the result of their experience they could have recommendations from the staff in the months ahead to modify it and go in a different direction.
Mrs. Darrell stated that her other point was that they did not have any cost information at that point and realizing that it was just a policy statement, she wanted to be very clear on whether they did have some options, because they could come back with a cost factor that would be astronomical and would cause them to shut down everything else; that she just wanted to make sure that they were all clear as to how they were moving because there were a lot of variables yet to be considered, and it was just a policy statement. Dr. Payzant said that he saw the next step as being the immediate development of written specifications that would go out to potential contractors and that they would ask^those contractors who were interested and qualified to submit proposals for providing the services, and presumably he would have to come back to the board to ge^-action on those proposals to actually employ a particular contractor or contractors td provide the service, because they no doubt were going to be talking about substantial dollars.
As a final comment, Mrs. Brody stated that the motion was never meant to be rigid; it was meant to give some options and she had really hoped that they would do it systematically and really look at the Maintenance Department and probably bring in and allow people inside the Maintenance Department to achieve that status and that qualification as noted in the motion, and pay them for it. She added that they had to get ready to pay people who were competent and to her it was the beginning to look at and set standards; that the board wanted a certain standard of people who worked on their sensitive equipment. _
Mrs. Darrell asked if the maintenance consultant addressed anything of that nature in his report, to which Dr. Payzant replied, no. Mrs. Hermes asked if the motion passed, even though it did not have a timeline on it, at what point could the public hold them to it? Dr. Payzant's reply was that it was his intent to begin the next day to-Tinalize specifications; to send those specifications out to a list of potential contractors who might qualify to meet the standards.,_and to request those contractors to submit proposals concerning the service's that they could supply and at what cost; to analyze that information and bring it back to the board as soon as possible, which could be March 22 if they could get the turnaround; that he was talking about the 30 to 40-day timeline, whatever it would>stake to get the information out to the contracting community and back to them se tjaat they could present it to the board.
Mr. Donwerth commented that if the riiotion parsed then he would have a vehicle to accomplish that, and if the motion did noj;.>ass, he"wÂŽuld not have that vehicle.
Mrs. Hill stated that she believed they had the vehicle to get there without the motion, frankly. Additionally, Dr. Payzant stated that he thought the difference was that if the motion did not pass, he could still go ahead and do it on an inquiry basis and he might get a response that was as solid as if it were a specific request for services or it may not; that if the board passed the resolution and gave indication that pending specific action on contractors, it was at least going to try that approach, them he thought they might get more serious attention of the contractors in submitting proposals for them to look at with accurate cost estimates; that it was a matter of degree and he did not know which way it would fall.
On roll call, the vbtes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, no; Mrs. Hill, no; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, no; and Mr. Donwerth. abstain. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion failed.

NEW BUSINESS
Dr. ÂŁlamm commented that under new business he thought it would be fitting to address his concern with the previous motion, and that was that if the motion had carried, they would have had the equipment brought up by excellent workmanship, put in a qualified excellent working condition, and then it would have been turned over to their Maintenance Department; that he thought that was where they needed their attention, their Maintenance Department and their custodians; their personnel would be running the equipment and it wouldn't be long until they would be back doing the very same thing over and over again. He stated that he agreed with Mrs. Hermes' comment about where they needed to address their attention, and that was to take a good look at their Maintenance Department, to get their qualified people in there, to get them trained to do the job that they would expect them to do; that he would like to ask the Superintendent to develop a plan to that end to bring to the board. He added that his comments were not in the form of a motion but were in the form of a suggestion.

Dr. Payzant replied that he was doing that anyway; that he had not told the board but it was in process and had to be done.

Roll Call
SPECIAL ^USINESS
A motion was made by Dr. Hamm and seconded by Mrs. Darrell for approval of a 1981-82 fiscal year agreement with Oklahoma City Area Vocational-Technical District Number 22 to lease the Marvin York Center property (buildings and grounds) to Vo-Tech Number 22 for a total annual sum of $21,873.00 based on a $1.00 per foot for building space, a mutually negotiated fair market rate for this property for use for school purposes. District Number 22 shall be responsible for maintenance, upkeep and operation of this property and shall carry Fire and Extended Coverage Insurance in an average amount equal to the replacement value of the building, payable to Independent School District Number 89 as additional insured; and shall carry themaximum personal liability and property liability insurance authorized by statute. Funds received for the leasing of this property to be deposited in the district's Bond Cash Fund. Board's attorney to prepare the lease forms.
R. #68 Approval of Lease Agreement on Marvin York Center Property
; : ;
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.
It was moved by Mrs. Hermes and seconded by Mrs. Brody for approval of a Teas^/purchase agreement with Oklahoma City Area Vocational-Technical District Number 22 to lease/purchase the Foster Estes Center.property (buildings and grounds) for the total principal sum of $3,542,377.50 ($11,807.92 per month for 300 months) based on a fair market value established by averaging appraisals of the property plus interest on the unpaid balance-of the statutory legal rate of interest. The lease/purchase agreement has been approved, as to form, by the Board's attorney. Proceeds from this lease/purchase agreement to be cfepo^ited in the Bond CaSti Fund.
Mrs. Hill commented that she had noticed the timeon the agreement, 25 years (300' months), and thought it rather excessive and wondered what~"ÂŁhe attorney's opinion was with respect to entering into a lease/purchase fbr^tlia^length of time. Dr. Payzant stated that he would respond to part of the question and let the attorney speak to the legal aspect of the agreement. He explained that what they were trying to do in setting up the agreement was to carry out the spirit of what he understood to be the intent of the board when it authorized both districts to pursue the Interlocal Agreement, recognizing that there was merit in having the two districts work together and the fact that 1-89 would benefit from the arrangement as would Vo-Tech 22; that they were attempting to meet the standard of fair market value and provide for a^payment schedule and amount of money exchanged that would not be so exorbitant that Vo-Tech 22 could not handle it on an annual basis until they were in the position to perhaps make a more definitive decision with respect to purchasing the property outright at that, which was the reason for spreading it out over 25 years rathen than setting it at 10, 15 or 20, where if they did the^payments would be considerably higher.

R. #69 Approval of Lease/Purchase Agreement on Foster Estes Center Propery cont1 d
Mr. Bleakley's response was that the law does not require a specific period of time ^over which it can be made and it is pretty well left up to the discretion of the parties to the agreement; that there was a requirement that ISD 89 receive fair market rent for the property and the amount set forth did meet that requirement, but beyond that it was up to the parties as to what term of payout they would require. He also stated that the statute requires the monthly payment and that it be applied first to the principal and then to the interest, and beyond that there was no requirement for a specific term, which was probably more of a business decision than a legal decision, and with respect to the 25 years, the longer the term, the more interest would accrue.
|
After Mrs. Hill inquired as to the rate of interest, Mr. Bleakley stated that it would be at the statutory legal rate of interest which varies, depending upon what the legislature sets it, but currently it was at six percent. Dr. Payzant added that the monthly figure did not include interest; that it was just principal, and at the end of the lease/purchase, if it were to go that long, then Vo-Tech 22 would be responsible for the total interest payment in a lump sum for over a 25-year period at six percent.
Mr. Donwerth commented that it would probably behoove Vo-Tech 22 to terminate the lease portion of the agreement and purchase it at the earliest possible date in order to relieve themselves of paying the high interest; that it would allow them to make a st^p in that direction earlier by being able to lease the Marvin York property and witfr the lease/purchase agreement on the other, it would allow Vo-Tech 22 to have more tinje^to get themselves in a position to make a final purchase. Dr. Payzant agreed, stating that annually the agreement was going to have to be readopted or reconsidered by the board so that it was not as if presently they were entering into an agreement for 25 years that could not be subject to review on an annual basis as they considered it with the beginning of each new fiscal year. Mrs. Hill commented further that to her it was not good business; that if they were entering into a contract for a lease/purchase, they should go into it with a set amount of years they were going into it with. She then inquired about the Marvin York lease for the 1981-82 year and what would happen with respect to the prior months' rent, stating that it was her understanding that the Attorney General ruled that the district needed to be paid fair market value for all year.
Mr. Donwerth noted that according to the agreement and the amount indicated that it would be one-twelfth of six percent of the $3Jg million each month. Dr. Payzant responded that the way the law reads,though,was that the only thing that could be collected atthe present time was the principal and the interest could not be paid or collected until the end of the agreement, which would be at. the^end of the 25 years; that, true, the dollar amount of money that would be paid ’in 25 years, assuming that the statutory interest rate stayed at six percent, and at six percent for the entire 25 years it would-be'$3,304,696.50.
In respondjng- to Mrs. Hill's question about prior months' rent, Dr. Payzant stated that it was his understanding that the Foster Estes agreement would be July 1 to June 30 for 1981-82 also; that Vo-Tech 22 would have-to pay the amount of $11,807.92 for each month of the fiscal yedf.. that had passed.
Mr. Bleakley referred to the' proposed agreement-,~ Section 2, which provided that the term of the agreement would begin on July*1,7- 1981-^nd then in Section 9 it provided that the $11,807.92 was due on the first day of each month except for the first payment which should include all payments which had accrued to such date, and that the first payment ypuld 6e due on April 1 and it would be for the number of months since July 1. Mrs. Hill then inquired regarding a policy on a reversionary clause to be included in the agreement or in the title some way when they were selling school property, whereby it could not be used for a school that would be in competition with ISD 89. Dr. Payzant indicated that it could not happen for 25 years anyway if it stayed in force the way it was written.
On roll call, the vptes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF MARCH 8, 1W - CONT SPECIAL BUSINESS A motion was made by Mrs. Hermes and seconded by Mrs. Brody to rescind action taken on^January 18, 1982 to retain a bond consultant firm; thereupon, retain the firm of Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc., a bond consultant, and pay the firm a consultant fee of $25,000 from Bond Funds if the $32,600,000 bond issue is approved by the voters of this district.
R. #70 Approval to Rescind Action Re Bond Consultant
With reference to the motion, Mr. Long commented that he did not believe that changing a bond consultant firm at that time would necessarily do anybody any good; that certainly he could not see where it would do the school district any good, and it would do a lot of harm to the company, R. J. Edwards, Inc. He added that the company had invested a lot of time and some money in the bond campaign and they had promised that they would do everything they could to carry out the terms of their contract with the district; that it had been a mistake made but he could not see where it was theirs; and that he could not support the recommendation because he did not think it was fair. Mrs. Darrell inquired about the $25,000 to be paid to the firm if the bond issue was app'roved and asked if any money had been paid to a firm? She received a response that a fee had not been paid, which was a part of the original contract. When Dr. Payzant was asked by Mr. Donwerth if the change would affect the sale of the bonds one way or the other, he.replied that he was not sure he could answer the question; that there were always a lot of unknowns down the road in terms of the actual Selling of bonds; that he had given his recommendation in terms of what he thought was the best direction for the district to go and he would like to leave it that wa^. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, no; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs., Hill, no; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes.

Bessie Emerson Potter Bequest
We have received as a distribution from the Bessie Emerson Potter Estate the sum of $137,257.74 as a bequest to the Oklahoma City Public Schools forthe benefit of music students. This bequest was in conjunction with a similar bequest from Willie Emerson Murray, the spouse of the late Governor Johnston Murray who was a long-time school teacher in this school district. Jointly these two ladies have given a substantial sum of money to the children of Oklahoma City schools for music education. 3.
School Land Commission Matters We had a hearing before Judge Cannon in the District Court relating to School Land Commission matters. The School Land Commissioners had filed three actions seeking an instruction from the District Court on how to manage the School Land Commission matters. Judge Cannon took the matter within his jurisdiction but stayed any action until the Supreme Court acts upon a petition for rehearing which ha^been filed in that case. During the process of that hearing Judge Cannon observed that the School Land Commission has an obligation to the school children of this state to realize the maximum amount of money from the properties that it holds -in trust and that duty and responsibility had not been.met in the past, and he encouraged them to do everything possible to maximize the returns from that property.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT R. #77 A motion was made by Mrs. Hill and seconded by Mrs. Darrell for approval of proposals submitted by the Directors of Elementary, Middle and High Schools as guidelines for the Approval of Proposals Re operation of 1982 Summer School Programs in elementary, middle and high schools. Summer School Programs Commenting with regard to the recommendation, Dr. Payzant stated that the proposals that had been provided to members of the Board were submitted by the School Operations Directors for summer school programs to serve elementary, fifth year center, middle and high school students for the summer of 1982; that the elementary program would be a six-week program for a tuition of $55.00; the middle school program offered at two sites, Harding and Jackson, for a tuition of $50.00; and the high school program would provide two four-week terms for a total of eight weeks at three sites, Northeast, Grant and John Marshall, with the per term tuition being $41.50 for all courses except Driver Education, which would be $71.00. He added that the tuitions were predicated on the instructions of the Board in the past to have the programs be self-supporting and that they reflect a ten percent increase in salaries for certified and classified employees who would be employed to work in the summer school programs.
Mrs. Darrell inquired as to whether there were any provisions for students who were not able to pay tuition, especially in the case of a high school student who would perhaps need to take a course in summer school in order to finish up their high school work? Responding, Dr. Payzant stated that Title I students enrolled in Title I programs were eligibly to attend summer school with the Title I program picking up the cost of the tuition;.,that it did not apply at the high school level because there was not a Title ^program at that level and the burden was on the individual students to pay the tuition, at the high school; that the tuition of $41.50 was a reduction from the tuition cost of last year and the $71.00 fee for Driver Education was an increase-' from the rate of last year. i •
After Mrs. Darrell inquired further as to what necessitated the increase in Driver Education, Dr. Payzant indicated that Driver Educati-on was a very costly program and the expenses of leasing the cars and providing the gasoline and operating costs for the cars were the major variables in the increased cost. In responding to Mrs. Darrell's concern about provisions for high school students to get some relief on tuition, Ms. Mason stated that there was no relief; that they looked at that phase last summer thinking that the price was getting very high and made strenuous efforts to get the support of CETA funds for high school students to go to summer school; that they got five kids to take advantage of it when they had fifty-five slots available; and that the efforts did not prove that the students really wanted to go to summer school. Still expressing her concern, Mrs. Darrell added that she would like to go on record to indicate that if they were faced with students, especially at the high schtf&l level, who needed to be in summer school to finish their high school work, that she would like for it to be presented to the Board, vf-nec^^sary, and if it was not necessary, she would like for those students tobeable to find some relief, because she would hate to think that one*student who needed to take a course to graduate would be prohibited from doing so because of the tuition, after which Ms. Mason stated that they would be conscious of that.
Mrs. Hermes stated that she had a cortcernwith what appeared to be a curriculum for the "Gifted"; that if they were going to have- some accelerated classes, she thought they should be named in their particular academia ^n^say“'fRa^Jthey were accelerated. She referred to offerings for Micro Computers and Calcul ators’and inquired as to whether they would be introduced in the gifted classes. Mrs. Lonian explained that the courses were not intended to be pull-out courses for gifted children; that it was included to emphasize the fact that they were going to address the needs of all students; and that the curriculum had been planned to meet the needs of those students who needed remediation, those who needed reinforcement, and those who would need to move forward at the appropriate rate of academic progress or development, and that the computers would be available for all students.
After Mrs. Hill noted that according to the proposal it appeared that transportation would be provided for elementary Title I students only, Dr. Payzant commented that this was true and that they had perhaps noticed that in the high school proposal they were going to try a shuttle system at the beginning of the program, providing buses from the Northwest Classen and Star Spencer parking lots and would see-how much use they would get and a determination would be made based on that as to whether they would continue to use them for the entire summer. He also indicated that transportation for the middle school would be for Title I students only. r

Following Mrs. Hill's inquiry regarding the breakdown on Driver Education, Dr. Payzant stated that they were allocating one-third of the cost of the secretary and one-third of the cost of the administrator at each of the three sites for the Driver Education program.
Anotheh concern was expressed by Mrs. Hill in that there seemed to be a large number of students that were taking Driver Education at Northwest Classen; that maybe there could be a course offered there to accommodate that large number of students. She stated thciit she did not know whether they were local students or students who lived in the area and went to private schools, because she had understood that the students there would take the Driver Education in the summer so they would not lose some of their time during the regular school year. Ms. Mason responded that they do pre-enroll for Driver Education; that it was their thinking that if the pre-enrolIment dictated that they needed to have more sites, they would certainly do that; that in pulling the data from last year, they found that Northwest Classen and Star Spencer had the lowest enrollment in Driver Education, which was part of what impacted their decision; however, if they had the students at Northwest Classen, there would be no problem in having Driver Education at that school.
Mrs. Hill added that she would like for them to look at that school if there was a Targe number of students interested in Driver Education, to which Ms. Mason replied that-they would certainly do so. On ^ll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes;’Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes.

•
Dr. Payzant introduced Dr. George Kimball who he stated had been conducting a study concerning the effect of the PRI (Prescriptive Reading Inventory) reading system on student achievement. Dr. Kimball, a member of the Planning, Research and Evaluation staff, with the use of an overhead projector showed graphs and information regarding results of the study and evaluation of the PRI program. He stated that the study, basically, addressed three issues; it was multi-faceted-in the analysis but the primary issues were to do the utilization of the PRI and did the reading system enhance the acquisition of reading; did it in effect produce better reading scores on a standardized achievement test; did it seem to effect differentially students of different ability levels; and to what extent did the results generalize to other measures of reading achievement? He indicated that the study dealt with students in the second and fifth grade and in many of the other grades there were constraints that prohibited analys-is in that manner. He also stated that the PRI/RS wzrs fully implemented to the greatest extent in the second semester of last year and the results dealt.primarily with one semester worth of reading achievement. V-''
After Mr. Long inquired as tid whether the reading achievement was measured by an achievement test only, Dr. Kimball replied that the first analysis involved the California Achievement Test of which reading was one component; that the second analysis involved the PRI/RS Diagnostic Test, which attends to specific reading objectives, what the individual s'^t those levels have mastered or not mastered. Mr. Long then commented that there was a ques‘t'ion~m-Jiis mind as to whether or not the report really reflected the situation*as -it-was^afltong students; that he would say that to base the future of a child's well being on that particular thing would be a mistake because there were so many other things to be considered. He mentioned, for instance, as to^wheth'er it had been determined ff the children read orally any better, did they read more for pleasure than they did before, were the kids who were remedial students actually making an improvement that could be seen in all of the ways that were mentioned outside the fact that they had passed some tests that had been put out by some publishers? He proceeded by voicing aconcern that the material that is presented to the students and the test itself are the same, and that students who do well on the achievement test do not necessarily know how to read; that he felt tITe public was being fooled with regard to PRI.
Dr. Kimball's response was that Mr. Long had obviously addressed a philosophical issue; however, if you wer% intending to test from a standardized test as some measure of achievement, itwould'be equally! Inappropriate to teach the students behavior with regard to another test for different behaviors. Mr. Long continued to express his concern that there were other things related to reading that children should learn that were not associated with PRI.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Dr. Payzant commented that one of the things that the PRI reading system does and a number of other systemsis that it makes a very clear effort to define what skills are going to be needed by children in order for them to learn to read; that he would agree that for many centuries good teachers had known what the skills were and had taught them, but they also knew that there were a number of children who had not received instruction in those skills and had not had the various pieces put together to make them effective readers; that what that system and others attempted to do was to define specifically what those skills were in such a way that they would go from the less complex to the more complex after they had mastered the easier ones; that research had shown that the school that is clear about defining what it is teaching, and the school that is clear in giving feedback to teachers and students about the progress they are or are not making tend to be more effective in terms of student achievement than those that do not do that, mainly those that are unclear in their expectation and thoSe that don't get periodic feedback on how children are doing. He added that in using the Cctlifornia Achievement Test as a norm reference, it provides a measure, although it be a limited one, of how students in any given school district or school compared to a national sample of students that took the same test, but the other part of the program was directed toward the goal of having a child master specific skills; that you don't care how that child compares to somebody else; you are only concerned about their ability to master a particular skill and twenty-five percent was not good enough; you have to have it one hundred percent to know how to do it; that people sometimes confuse the issue of teaching to the test, because if the child can demonstrate that he or she has the skills on a test designed to test whether that mastery isothere, that was the goal; that if a child can demonstrate that he has masteredHhose skills and then over time retains them, it seemed to him that was one of their#.Thajor goals in education in terms of the basic skills area, and that mastery learning piece was a part of the PRI system as well as being concerned about the performance of children on standardized achievement ests which allowed them to make, comparisons.across the country. /
Mrs. Brody expressed a concern with regard to PRI being based on repetition and if maybe the children with learning problems were left brain and right brain; that is, neither side checks in and repetition hurts them and stops that other side of the brain from checking in. In response, Dr. Payzant stated that the PRI system was not simply based on repetition because when a child completed a diagnostic test and a skill level was established for that child, the teacher had a variety of options^for the types of instructional materials to use with that child to teach the skills at that child's level, which allowed the teacher to take into account what may be appropriate in terms of that child's learning style; that one of the benefits of the PRI system was a cross-indexing of a wide range of materials that could be used to teach a particular skill; and that it was true that some student would not respond to repetition; also, there was some flexibility in the system to use differnt types of materials that would meet a variety of approaches to learning for given kids. Inquiry was made further as to if the teachers were provided with the skills of recognizing what had been explained by t)r. "Payzant-or if the system was caught up in administering the PRI and mastery levels because it was important to show up on a graph; that the.rewe.re children with certain learning disabilities that the repetition harms and she was really curious if the school system was really recognizing and helping teachers recognize that,^nd what were they doing*about it; that there were children that could sit and do diaigntfej/ic tests forever, but she was concerned with whether:teachers had the skills to recognize children with the learning disability of left brain, right brain. ----------
Dr. Payzant stated that the challenge as presented by Mrs-. Brody was no less or no greater with the utilization of the PRI system than it would be with anything else; that the special'education people were working very closely with it and in dealing with inservice activities with the people who were working in situations with learning disabled children to see to what extent the PRI system could be utilized in special education as well as with regular students. He also stated that a substantial number of students who had a learning disability had been identified in a LD lab but he’was sure there were some that had not been so identified. Mrs. Brody, aga'ln, stated that her concern was with PRI and the type of test that was administered; it could be that it was more of a hindrance than helpful to children with certain learning disabilities; that with the characteristics of PRI, she was wondering if there were certain chijdren who were locked into a certain learning disability because of PRI or made worse by PRI, which was what she would like to know.

Report on Effects of Use of PRI on Reading Achievement cont1d
Dr. Payzant's response was that there may be some students as referred to by Mrs. Brody but he did not think they were being locked in with PRI anymore than into any other system as an approach to instruction, and the key was, if they were, to recognize who they were and make the necessary adjustments; that the impressive thing about PRI was that they had been frustrated for sometime about ways in which to improve student achievement in reading and the report demonstrated to him that there are constructive, positive things set that a school district could do to improve | reading achievement, and as long as that remained one of the major goals of the | Board and the district, which he thought it had to in terms of the commitment to I improve the quality of education, he thought they would have an obligation to use the best information, the best experience, and the best results that they had to reach that goal. He added that no matter what program was used, there would always be exceptions to it where they were going to have to be concerned about what Mrs. Brody had said and make sure ;:tliat no children were hurt by it, but for substantial numbers of children and a major percentage, he thought that the evidence was quite clear that it would be a great boom rather than a detriment of any kind to their achievement and their feeling of success as the result of achieving. A concern was expressed by Dr. Hamm with reference to a question that had been raised by Mr. Long with regard to the usefulness of the program as a skill for the student with regard to their own reading for pleasure, and that it seemed that there could be an instrument designed to determine that.
Dr. Kimball replied that he thought it could be an interesting study and certainly the^Research Department could probably come up with a proposal that would be able to shqjotfthat.
Dr. Payzant commented that in terms of impact he did not know whether an instructional system would have as much impact on reading for pleasure as would such things as the modeling of behavior of- peers, adults and what happens in terms of leisure time and generally in the society; that he had noticed changes in the last few years in terms of how much adults, let alone young people, read for pleasure or relied on reading for the acquisition of information, and he thought that had as much to do with the apparent decline in the amount of reading for pleasure and acquisition of information that went on as anything that might do or not do in the schools. In additional comments regarding the reading for pleasure, Mr. Long stated that in the old fashion classroom approach, the teacher had a lot to do with whether or not the child read for pleasure or whether he could read well enough to read for pleasure; that persons have a tendency to do what they like to do and can do well, and the students would not do it regardless of what they made on the test; that he was saying â– thatusing PRI with a student that was not on very sure ground already could cause zhim to go under, and maybe some of the others were able to withstand to the point that they could bring the kid up from the general discord, which seemed to be what everybody wan ted,-but1-he was wondering whether or not the students were go-Thg to be improved or whether or not they were going to be able to improve themselves. He added that reading for pleasure was an important thing and was a lost art; that the parents no longer read for pleasure; 'ttra-t'-var-ious methods could be used to encourage reading but sometimes the classroom teacher had to all of that and then more, arid sometimes trad-to invent his or her own system and methods. He referred to his concern that all hopes were being placed on PRI while teachers of reading were being riffed, and his thought thaKthe pendulum would probably swing back to other methods of teaching reading; that what ifeeded to be done was to get some more reading clinicians instead of getting rid ot^the&es^that were employed by the district.
As a final comment, Dr. Payzant stated that‘the only^thing he would say was that when the Board said to him thatit was no longer one of its major goals to improve the achievement of students in the school district and that they would not be concerned about evaluation and quantifying some results, and his evaluation would not be based on those kinds of things, and that they were going to let everybody do their own thing in the classroom and hope that those kinds of things would get results, then he would be comfortable with sitting back and saying okay. He also stated that he did not believe that you could in this day and age allow everybody to do their own thing and get those kinds of results; that as long as the goals were set and one of the major ones was to improve the achievement of boys and girls- in the school district,"he was going to give his best advice on how to go about doing.that effectively in a way that would help children and would not harm them; that he thought they would have to look at the data; that it was not a fly-by-night evaluation that was trumped up to mgke PRI look good and he would invite them to look at the full report, look at the methodology, and he thought it would stand the test of critics in terms of what had been done and was not an attempt to make a program that he happened to push and advocate look good.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
Dr. Payzant gave the following report on a Plan for Improvement in the Delivery of Maintenance Services: The plan for improvement in the delivery of maintenance services in the Oklahoma City Public Schools is a rather extensive one and I am not going to present it all in detail to you because you have it in writing for your review. I would like to highlight some of the features of it because the plan is an attempt to address a lot of concerns that we have all had that have particularly been highlighted in recent months.
First of all, by way of background, I think the board members all realize, although members of the audience may not, that our Building Levy, which is based on 5 mills that the voters have to authorize each April is the basic means of support for the maintenance function in the school district, and that 5-mill levy raises about $3Jg million for our maintenance program. Because that 5 mil Is"does not change from year to year and the assessed valuation of the property on which it is levied has not gone up significantly, we have not been able in that Building Levy Fund to keep pace with inflation. In fact, as you noted from my report a week or two ago, we are going to have to pick up some of the expenses ^generated from the maintenance operation with General Fund money, and we have been doing that regularly for the last several years. So, in short, the $3Jg million that is in that Building Levy is not sufficient to finance the kind of operating program that we ne^l and want. The relationship, of course, to the bond issue is that if the bondjssue is approved it will provide us with the funds to take care of the number of m.ajjor deferred projects which will then mean that time and money and resources from*-the Building Levy, the day-to-day operating budget of the Maintenance Department will not have to be used for continuing Band-Aid application to get us through when major repairs are needed arid thereby free up some of that time and resource for preventative program^ which is our ultimate goal to implement throughout the district. First of all, we are, implementing some very clear-'and specific expectations regardiir supervision and the checking of all work that has gone in the Maintenence Department by several levels of supervision. We are proposing as an initial step the addition of five positions, one in the Electrical Department, two in the Steamfitting Department, one in the Heating and Air Conditioning Department, and one in the Plumbing Department to be filled by Journeyman Craftsmen who will meet the qualifications of an approved apprenticeship training program under the U. S. Bureau of Apprenticeship and training standards. We are proposing the addition of the position of Inspector who will spend most of his or her time in schools inspecting work that has been done by the Maintenance Department or contractors and identifying work that needs to be done. The position description has been drafted and I have circulated that position description to some people outsideiOf the school district for their review and comment before finalizing it. That person would report directly to the Assistant Superintendent for Business Services'to allow for independence of reporting rather than directly to the day-to-day supervisors in the Maintenance Department. __ I had mentioned.at a earlier board meeting major changes in the handling of work requests and work orders. That change in system has occurred and is being implemented now. It will result in clearer communication, short of turnaround time and a fail-safe system for catching work requests that were misdirected or were not communicated appropriately wh:en'4nitiallymade.
The Administrative Supervisor for mainten.agjj^'is voTunJeering and transferring to the position of Administrative Supervisor fo/Engineering which will create a vacancy in that position of Administrative Supervisor for maintenance which we will advertise in the next two-weeks and fill with a new person. Those are some of the immediate things that are Included in this plan. In addition, we will install in the next few months a preventative maintenance,program allocating major resources this summer to begin the implementation of that plan in a number of different craft areas. We will use the job standards that have been developed with the help of the consulting firm working with us over the past year and a half and establishing a scheduling, expected time for a job and a preventative maintenance schedule. We will have to continue with work such as the relocation of portable buildings and other emergency work that continues to come up through the spring and summer months, but we will be putting on the back burner, so to speak, capital improvement and beautification projects with the preventative maintenance and emergency items having higher priority. We are also meeting with officials from the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training and the State Department of Vocational Education to work on the establishment of a training program that will enable employees in the school district to acquire the skills that will make them eligible for the Journeyman Craftsman type of position that I noted we will be adding in several craft areas immediately. We hope to expand the number of positions with requiring these qualifications and giving people in our Maintenance Department the opportunity to train and qualify for those positions by going through a recognized program that we are going to work with the appropriate parties to make available.

We are discontinuing our contract with an amicable agreement to do so at the end of thirty days with Kapner, Wolfberg and Associates. We will use a number of the recommendations that the consultant has made and installed to date as we go ahead with the implementation of this maintenance plan. Some of those things that are listed in the report and I will not take the time to detail them here. The expectations that you have for me I think are clear in this area and that I have for staff. This is an attempt to set some of them in writing. A number of these things are also underway. I wanted to give you the opportunity to see them in writing, to make comments and suggestions for additions or deletions. There is no doubt that we need to continue to move forward vigorously to address some of the maintenance issues in this school district and I m$ke the commitment to do so. I would be happy to take any suggestions that you may have or response to the plan that I have highlighted this evening that ybtThave before you )in writing?/...
Mrs. Brody inquired with regard to the five Journeyman Craftsmen, if they were going to be spread thoughout the electrical, plumbing and steamfitting departments?
In response, Dr. Payzant stated that the intitial proposal for the first five would be to have one in the electrical craft, two in steamfitting, one in heating and air conditioning, and one in plumbing, and he would presume that unless some of their own people would meet the qualifications, they would be hiring outside for the first five .positions.
It 'was then noted by Mrs. Brody that in the memo for a previous board meeting with regard to the motion on the boiler heater, it was mentioned that 12,000 hours were put in on boilers and water heaters'and pipe lines, etc., and she did not see how they could possibly begin to adequately and competently cover that kind of need with one person; that if they had five of them completely working on just the boilers and water heaters, work'ing forty hours a week, fifty weeks a year, they would still only get 10,000 hours.
Dr. Payzant replied that the ultimate goal would be to have the five or six that would meet those qualifications and standards, and he thought it was going to take a combination of hiring people from outside plus providing the recognized training program that their people would be eligible to enroll in to bring people through who were interested in upgrading their skills and being considered for those positions. Mrs. Brody then noted that he had mentioned going through the State Department of Vo-Tech in establishing the program arid she wondered if they were going to deal with the local vocational education district.
Dr. Payzant explai-ned that what often will happen is that the people who-work with an approved program by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training will contract with an area vo-tech school in Oklahoma -te*-pr.oyj^de^_the cl assroam phase of the training; that some of that was being dorre^'in Vo-Tech 22; that it could be a cooperative effort where some of the classroom instruction as part of a training program would be provided by” the’area school district and that 1-89 people could be enrolled in that classroom phase. ' ^y
Inquiry was made further as to whether.it was joint effort between Vo-Tech 22 and 1-89 in going to the State Department or was'it coming from the top down from the State Department, to which Dr. Payzant repj.ted that it...was not coming from the top down from the State Department in that they had matter the contacts with both the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training and representatives in Stillwater, with Mr. Ginrj taking the initiative in doing so; that he had talked with Dr. Holodick about the programs that were now being offered on a contract basis in the evenings at Foster Estes, and the possibility of dovetailing some of those efforts they were trying to schedule meetings with representatives from Vo-Tech and the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Taaining in the next week or ten days to begin to work out some of the details of what the program might look like and how they would go about implementing it. Further concern was expressed by Mrs. Brody that 1-89 was going to Stillwater to get answers and the local vo-tech district was so near.
Dr. Payzant commented that Stillwater's role was that it develops the course curriculum and outline that is Used by instructors that offer the courses in the area schools around the state and that is the case, for all of the vocational programs that are offered around the state.
After Mrs. Brody made additional comments about the State Department having been mentioned and the local vo-tech district was not and the need for the two districts to be cooperative, Dr. Payzant stated that the State Department of Vo-Tech had been

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT mentioned only because of the concern that had been expressed about the curriculum materials and whether it would meet the standards of the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training; that his understanding was that they do not develop the materials locally and they are developed at Stillwater and Stillwater had a good working relationship and understood the qualifications of the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, so he was trying to gfet the people together at that level.
Report on Plan for Improvement in the Delivery of Maintenance Services cont’d
After being asked if the Vo-Tech 22 District had apprenticeship programs before, Dr. Payzant responded that they had. Mrs. Darrell asked if the Inspector to be employed and the Director of Maintenance Department would report to the same person, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, to which Dr. Payzant replied that they would. She then continued to express her concern with regard to the Maintenance Department and its ability to deliver the services needed; that she was glad they no longer would be using Kapner, Wolfberg and Associates; with regard to the new position of Inspector, she wanted to know clearly what the qualifications were going to be, because it appeared to her that they did not have the right skills in the right area; that they needed mechanical engineers, industrial engineers and other similar skills; that she was hopeful that on the positions as referred to by Dr. Payzant, they would be willing to make the commitment to get the kind of person that was needed, and if they had to make any adjustments, to do so if they did not have the right skills. She added that it was most distressing to her that there had been all of the people involved trying to work out a way for the delivery o,!f maintenance and they still had not quite gotten there. She also stated that wherT the persons had been employed and final adjustments made, she would like a draft<0^ the organizational chart.
The following item was deferred until after Executive Session: /z

Make-Up 'Day There is one item that we have begun to get a lot of calls on which I think I ought to clarify for the Board this-evening, and that is the April 23rd date on our 1982 calendar which was set aside as a make-up day, if needed. We do not need the make-up day for an inclement day but you will recall that we did have a day off as a memorial for the children who were killed or injured in the explosion and we will have to make up that day. So school will be in session on April 23.
5... Proposal for Full-Day Kindergarten Program Also, I included in your packet a report on the information that was gathered in consideration of a proposal for a full-day kindergarten program to be considered for 1982-83 and the results of that survey indicated a substantial amount of support for that kindergarten program on educational grounds; however, the number of teaching positions that would have to be added and the lack of availability of classroom space at certain school sites preclude me making that as a recommendation for inclusion in the 1982-83 budget. The cost would be substantial and I do not see a way of coming up with the dollars to undertake such a major modification in the program for 1982-83.

Approval of Bid for Construction of Additions to Foster Estes I would mention for the record of the 1-89 Board that the Vo-Tech 22 Board earlier this evening approved a bid for construction of additions to the Foster Estes School building which is being leased to Vo-Tech 22 by 1-89 and, as you will recall, there is a statement in the lease agreement which indicates that the tenant may make such improvements on the premises as it deems necessary. The action was taken to move ahead with improvements on the premises at a meeting earlier this evening.
Mr. Donwerth called for a five-minute recess.
PERSONNEL REPORT
After the meeting was reconvened, Dr. Payzant asked to make comments with regard to the Personnel Report. He stated that the first part of the report required routine types of personnel actions; that the report included special recommendations through the other sections; that he was asked for approval of the request of two principals for their reassignment for next year; recommending the reassignment of certified and classified personnel that were affected by program changes and cuts in federal funding with a special note on the two names that appeared at the bottom of that list; that the two teachers who would be reassigned, namely, George Mallo and Sarah^Osborne, would be reassigned because of the transfer of trade and industry programs from 1-89 to Vo-Tech District 22; that these were two people who were currently instructors in those programs but had certification in other areas which woiTTd enable them to be reassigned to other positions in District 1-89.
He stated that also listed were the people who would be affected by a reduction in work year and salary as the result of the change in the Reading Center program; that listed were people who would be recommended for non-reemployment as the result of reduction in force; that there were only three teachers on that list and he could give every assurance that although the jobs were not available right now in General Fund positions, he felt quite sure that they would be for those three persons; that it was highly probable that the person who was a facilitator at Children's Hospital and the two nurses in Special Services would be picked up in jobs for next year.
He continued, stating that the four ESAA advisors were noncertified and he could not give the same optimistic report with respect to placement of those persons because the ESAA program was being cut substantially as the result of the federal cutbacks as were the CETA funded programs. He noted that Steve Bernardy was deceased as of the past weekend and his name should be removed from the list.
Continuing, Dr. Payzant stated that the aide positions were the major ones affected by the reduction and.that was as the'result of the program decision by thejitle I people to cut back in the number of aides rather than in the number of teaching positions to accommodate the anticipated twenty percent cutback in federal funds; that he could be very optimistic about the~.xeJ3j.CLng of probably five of the six bilingual aides that were 1 isted; 'that since the age'nda' had been finalized they had been negotiating the Title VII project budget with the Washington office and were reasonably’'optimistic that they would be able to reinstate four or five of those aide positions. He then referred to the eight peo-ple..who were recommended for non-reemployment who were affected by the transfer of the -trade and industry programs from 1-89 to Vo-Tech District 22, stating that to refresh-- the" memory of the Board, there were sixteen trade and industry programs in Distfict'“I-;8^', xive of them were retained, which left eleven; one gentleman, Mr; West, retired, which left ten; the two persons as mentioned earlier, Mr> Mallo and Ms. Osborne, had been reassigned in 1-89, which left the eight persons on the list; that since the agenda was prepared, they had received a resignation from John Folley, which meant that there were only seven of those people that they could not place in a position presently. He added that it was possible that Vo-Tech 22 may pick up several of them, but because the programs had been eliminated in 1-89, the Board would need to take action concerning their non-reemployment. Continuing with respect to the Personnel Report, Dr. Payzant stated:
There were concerns expressed by the Board earlier about the process that would be used in any RIF procedure that had to be implemented this year. I have tried to keep you apprised of each step of the process. Within the past two weeks, the Director of Personnel Services has met with the appropriate department heads and invited the people affected to a series of small group meetings to explain these recommendations that are being presented to you, and individual meetings are being scheduled this week and next with the supervisors of each of the people so affected to give them the opportunity to have that individual conversation between

PERSONNEL REPORT supervisor and employee. All of the reductions that are being recommended for reassignments with the exception of those affected by the change in the trade and industry courses from 1-89 to Vo-Tech 22 are the result of a cutback in federal funds. We anticipate a twenty percent cutback and that is the premise we have used in making these recommendations.
About the Reading Center program, a year ago we had two Reading Centers in the school district. One was located at Nichols Hills Elementary School and the other was located at Prairie Queen Elementary School. The reading clinicians were based at these two sites and provided services in math and reading for children who were bused to those centers from schools that did not have Title I Learning Centers in them. These tended to be the schools that did not have enough children to justify putting a full-time learning center at them. In addition, there were two people who were, assigned to Mobile Reading Labs that primarily serve the parochial schools in providing Title I services as we are required to provide by law. Last year the program change was made and those two Reading Centers at Nichols Hills and Prairie Queen were eliminated. Since the decision to do that came after the April 10 notification date, there was no way that we could reduce the work year or salary of the reading clinicians who would be affected by that program change and give them the notice required by statute to take effect for the 1981-82 school year. A number of those clinicians this current year had been functioning as learning center teachers going into the schools where the children are that used to be bused into Nichols Hills and Prairie Queen for those Title I services. Three of the clinicians have been housed at Capitol Hill Middle School where there has been a program with the acijptiym IRITE that has provided Title I services for Capitol Hill Middle School children. Those three reading clinicians have been working side by side with three learning center teachers, doing basically the same kinds of tasks although reading clinicians work on one work 'year?which is extended; learning center teachers working on another work year which is the same as learning center teachers throughout the district. What-this recommendation will do is bring the work year and salaries of these reading clinicians into line with the learning center teachers who. are providing the services for children in learning centers throughout the district in fifty or more different locations. The two people that operate the Mobile Reading Labs will have a reduction in their work year but it will still be a work year with five days more than the regular Title I Learning Center teachers because of the extra work involved in preparing the Mobile Reading Labs before the start of the school year. -Those labs will continue to provide services at the parochial schoolsand take any overflow that exists in one of our schools as time is available. So the program change has really already been made with the exception of the Capitol Hill Middle School program where IRITE is designed to provide services for children by having them participate for a two-hour block everyday for nine weeks and then a different group comes in the next nine weeks, and a third group the third nine weeks, and a fourth group the fourth nine weeks; whereas, a typical pattern in the Title I Learning Centers thro.ughjoxTt the district is to provide children with one or more time blocks of instruction in the learning .center throughout the year, although not every day of the week. Nobody is being displaced from .the" job'. There is an adjustment being made in the work year in salaries to bring^the people who used to work in the reading centers into 1 ine with.their colleagues who are Title I Learning Center teachers who are basically providing the.same services that these folks who are now under the new program structure. '-x .. . Mrs. Darrell stated that if no one had'anypreference, she would like to amend their ususal procedure, skip over the routine report arid go to other items in the report. A motion was then made by Mrs. Darrell and seconded by Mrs. Brody to approve the request from Ms. Dorothy Tucker to be reassigned to the position of high school assistant principal for 1982-83 at a salary on the 1982-83 high school assistant principal's salary schedule to be determined according to educational training and experience.
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.

PERSONNEL REPORT
It was moved by Mrs. Darrell and seconded by Mrs. Brody to approve the request from xDr. Harold Crain to be reassigned to the position of classroom teacher for the 1982-83 school year at a salary on the 1982-83 teacher's salary schedule to be determined by educational training and experience.
R. #79 Approval of Reassignment of Capitol Hill Middle School Principal
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.
With reference to a part of the Personnel Report which dealt with the reassignment of persons which was necessitated by federal funds, Mrs. Darrell expressed some frustration in that she stated board members had received a Title I Evaluation Report which was very positive and these persons were being recommended for reassignment. She commented with regard to reading being the number one problem in the district and it appeared that the reading clinicians were needed in their position rather than being reassigned; that she was strongly against continuing to ask for and receive federal grants and then when the federal monies run out, the district did not feel any commitment to make any attempt to continue the program; that she was opposed to the recommendation and that each year the teaching population was being continually frustrated because of a RIF; that she thought it was time that they got their priorities together and it was long past time that the district begin to make a commitment to continue the program through their own resources, or' if the programs themselves had no merit, to free up the money for other districts who might be able to continue such programs. She added that her sentiments were totally and one hundred pereent against riffing any of those people because she had not been shown sufficient ! justification.
Discussion Personnel Report
After it was called to her attention that these persons were not being riffedSj Mrs. Darrell stated that she had the problem with the basic concept of how they were using the federal dollars and how they were dealing with the concepts of the program. In responding, Dr. Payzant stated that ninety percent of the Title I dollars were in the Learning Center program and that basically these were people who were in a different program with an expanded work year with some different responsibilities under the Reading Center setup now performing the current year in a number of areas the same task that the learning center teachers were; that essentially these people were working side-by-side on a different work year and a different salary structure. Discussion continued by Mrs. Darrell and Dr. Payzant in^establishing qualifications of a reading clinician as opposed to a learning center teacher in that a reading clinician position required a masters degree, and the reassignment of a reading *- e-l’1nician to a learning center teacher would minimize the requirement.
Mrs, Darrell, again, commented that if they were going to lose the federal funds, they'should made a—commitment from the district to finish a program that.ws never to be eternal and'retain the reading clinicians as such. Dr. Payzant further explained that’'wh^t'i+hey-were interested in was serving the greatest number of children wfth the dollars that they had; that in 1978 and 1979 the Reading Center program served 373 students with the cost per student that year being $837.00; in that same year the learning centers served 7,324 students with the average cost per student of^394.00, and when you have a cutback in funds it did not make sense to him to hang on <t'o-xt,he high cost per pupil program that could not serve as many students.
Mrs. Darrell agreed with the concept as p^esented-vby.^ffr. Payzant but contended that she thought they could maximize the skills of the; reading clinicians and that particular program because she could not believe that they had such a small percentage of students who had reading problems when they had been harping on the need to Improve reading skills.
,
Discussion continued by Mrs. Darrell and Dr. Payzant whereby she continued to reiterate that she thought the reading clinicians should be retained in that position and the reading program designed in such a way that their expertise could still be utilized as such, and Dr. Payzant explaining how the Reading Centers that once existed at Nichols Hills and Prairie Queen were no longer in existence and these persons were being used as teachers in the learning centers arid that the differential iri their pay was based on the length of their work year. Further discussion included the assessment of tgst results related to reading which could be done by the reading clinicians which would necessitate the need of pul l ing people from learning center positions to travel the district toido that task that only needed to be done at the beginning of the school year, the need to consider alternatives sufficiently to avoid a RIF, the need to deal with long-range plans in anticipating the loss of federal funds rather than devastating people, the impossible task of picking up all of the Title I programs from resources available in the General Fund, the possible need to cut other places other than the reading clincicians, and other.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF MARCH 22, 1982 - CONT'D
PERSONNEL REPORT Following the continued emphasis by Mrs. Darrell that the reading clinicians be retained with utilization of their skills, Dr. Payzant related to the fact that if they were retained on a 201-day work year it meant that they would have to’have an assignement of something to do in the extra 20 days when the students were not there that would be useful and productive and have an impact on children, after which Mrs. Darrell, again, stated that she would think they could do something dealing with assessment in reading in all areas and other means in the utilization of their skills.and the expanding of the utilization of their skills for the district.
Dr. Payzant referred to the fact that those persons who were paid from Title I funds had to provide services for Title I children only. Mrs. Hill and Dr. Hamm asked for clarification with respect to the recommendation being to only cut the work year of the reading clinician and their continuing to receive the pay benefit of the masters degree, to which Dr. Payzant cited an example of a person who would have a work year reduced from the 201 days to 181 days and would go to a vacant Title I learning center teacher position, but would receive the pay benefit of the masters degree.
Comments were made by Mr. Long with respect to keeping the reading clinicians in their same category, stating that he thought the system had something unique in the system with the group; that they continue to be used in a separate category to the learning center teacher and kept together with their coordinator; cut the workdays for the year, if rftcessary, but keep them as reading clinicians since the district needed all the help^t could get in that area. Reference was made by Dr. Payzant to the two people in the Mobile Labs, stating that he was proposing that they go from 201 days to 186 days. He continued by stating that he wanted the Board to understand that if they rejected the recommendation what the implications were; that'presently they had working in the same room and doing the same job people who were called reading clinicians and people who were called learning center teachers, and unless the Board told h.im to continue to have a separate kind of program just staffed by reading clinicians who would do a special kind of thing, they were going to run into problems by leaving the situation the way it was; that it would get down to a fine argument between people about whether the tasks were really that different on an hour-to-hour or day-to-day basis; some would say that they were and some would say that they were not. He added that the real issue in terms of the action was for the work year arid the title thing was flexible.
Mrs. Brody commented that she was concerned about changing a program that directly affected kids and whifah the eval uaitiori bad shown was effective. Speaking to a comment'that had been made earlier about members of the Board responding to persons who come arid lobby before them, Mrs. Brody stated that the one reason that people were riffed last year was the $1.1 million shortfall and they had all kinds of folks to come and speak to the Boa'rdand when the funds were refound they did not nearly-Yeplace the positions that had been canceled; she did not think it was appropriate that it be said the Board reacts to people just because they come and appear before them; that she was wondering'if they were trying'to do 6y~T5Ucrrd action what was tried last June when they tried.to go to the clinicians and change their jobs.
Dr. Payzant replied that because the April 10 deadlirie’had'passed last year, there was no way they could legally change their work year and ^salary even though the program change was made with the Title I application that was submitted in May or June of the last year; that there had been a primary issue in-meeting with the group; that of to whom the reading clinicians were to report, the principals in the schools; that they wanted to report to Mr. Brown as coordinator'and the^accommodation was made for the current year. r " As an additional comment, Mrs. Brody stated that she had problems with changing the title of a reading clinician to a learning center teacher; that, obviously, they had impact on children that was very badly needed.
After Mr. Donwerth inquired about when the reading clinician would go into a Title I Learning Center teaching position, would she be there with a Title Learning Center teacher full tjme or part-time at two different schools as they do now as a clinician that goes into the buildings full time or part time, Dr. Payzant replied that it would depend on the school and the number of learning centers; that if it were a school that had one learning center, she could be assigned full time as the only learning center teacher in that school; that there were a number of schools that had two learning centers, and in that instance she would be one of two learning center teachers assigned full time to that school.

Discussion Personnel Report conf d
Mr. Donwerth then asked if they would deviate from those plans and keep the reading * clinicians as reading clinicians, would they be opening a vacancy that they were to ‘ fill according to the proposal? Dr. Payzant stated that it depended on what instruction he was given; if they were to simply have their work year the same and assign them to learning centers, the answer was no; if they were to keep their work year the same and create a separate program for reading clinicians to work in, then that had to be created over and above the learning center program or they would have to cut back in the number of learning centers that were scheduled for the schools.
After Mrs. Hill inquired about whether the reading clinician and learning center teacher did the same thing, Dr. Payzant, again, explained that this was not true with the Reading Center but was so with regard to the learning centers, and cited as an example the six teachers who were assigned to Capitol Hill Middle School, three of which had learning center designation and three who had the reading clinician designation. Mrs. Hill inquired further with respect to how the reading clinicians would be assignee the next year, to which Dr. Payzant responded the plans were for next year that schools that would qualify for Title I learning centers, that the learning center teachers would be asisgned to those and that the reading clinicians would be reassigned as learning center teachers to one of the Title I learning centers.
Mrst Darrell asked about the number of Title I schools in the district, after which Mr^.- Tarver explained that there were 61 the current year but 55 projected for next year because six of the schools were not eligible for services next year in that their poverty level was below the district average level of 42.92% and had been that way for'two years, which was the law. Dr. Payzant commented as an additional explanation that the schools were more impoverished if they were above the 42.92% and less if they were below the 42.92%. A concern was expressed by Mrs. Hermes that she had discovered that the reading centers were eliminated and as they were,those teachers were assimilated as learning center teachers in the Title I schools and that if they continued with that she saw it as discriminating among learning center teachers; that if they were going to continue the teachers at that level arid with the current contract and days, it seemed to her that they would have to recreate the reading centers to differentiate; that the parents had said they wanted the children served in the schools; and they could either recreate the reading centers which the parents did not want or they could ••‘discriminate among teachers as learning center teachers; that the jobs should be differe it.
Mrs. Darrell commented that she agreed because she thought they had different skills and she thought theywere skills that could be utilized; that the concern,-Sreemed to be the reading center versus a learning center and she was still not"convinced that the reading clinician skills could not be used in reading to facilitate reading in some manner, and it appeared tbey’^re—oflly talking about where they were going to put them, which she referred to as only methodology; and that if they were dealing with loss_of-funds, they would have to determine whether or not the skills of the reading clinicians were worthy of being picked up though another source of funding. Continuing, Mrs. Darrell referr’&d to the turnover of positions as usually reflected in the Personnel Report and the fcTdi^that. teachers were being hired near the end of the school year, which she stated was a ..problem-for her; that she thought in the case of the reading clinicians it was*aTfact-.oj;<defining their function and being able to define the use of their skills as a reading clinician.
Mr. Long commented that during the current year the clinicians had been used in some respect as a learning center teacher but there was a difference; that a learning teacher taught math, whereas the reading clinician taught only reading; that there was a vast difference plus the fact that their title made them different.
After an inquiry about some teaching math and some not, Dr. Payzant explained that it depended upon the setup in the particular learning center and in those schools that had more than one they would use their staff accordingly, and you could have one who specialized in the reading part of it and one in the math; that, obviusly, if you had a school with a'single learning center, then the learning center teacher would have to teach both just as a regular classroom teacher had to teach both. Mrs. Darrell commented that what they were saying was if they had to teach math or science or something else, then they ought to do the best they could with that; it may not be their major area but because they had Tost their fund they had to do this, and to her this presented a problem. She added that she would think that they could find sufficient kinds of things in their skill category that would keep them busy for that full amount of time.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF MARCH 22, 1982 - CONT'D
PERSONNEL REPORT
Dr. Payzant noted that the Board had several options if they did not accept the recommendation presented; that if they wanted to retain a category or program called reading centers and reading clinicians, they would have to decide how that was going to be financed; if it was going to be financed out of federal funds, then that meant that something else was going to have to go from the federal funds; if they wanted to finance it frroiii General Fund, that they always had the option but he would caution them not to make commitments piecemeal on their General Fund budget until they got there in the next two months and see what the total requests were and could assess overall priorities.
After Mrs. Hill inquired as to how many of the reading clinicians had been teaching both reading and math the past year, Dr. Payzant stated that those in the elementary schools were teaching both.
A motion was made by Mrs. Darrell and seconded by Mrs. Brody - I move that the reading cl inicians' titl e and job assignment skill areas remain as reading clinicians and that their source of funding be from General Fund for the 201 days.
In speaking to the 201 'days as opposed to the 181 days, Mr. Donwerth noted that he had been told that the extra 20 days was for the clinicians to evaluate test data, and it was his understanding that they did not do that anymore; that it was being done.by the classroom teacher, principal, etc., so he was wondering if they were going back to doling the testing and evaluation, and if not what would the additional 20 days be . used ^for? To qualify what she meant, Mrs. Darrell stated that it was her thinking that these person's could be used for that particular skill and the principal be freed to do something eTse. She reiterated that she wanted the motion to read the 201 days.
Mrs. Hermes inquired as to if they as a board decided that they wanted to usp' the reading clinicians to help evaluate and place children, then would they be at liberty to take those ten reading clinicians and divide thenramong all of the schools, which would load them up a lot more than they were presently. Mrs. Darrell stated that she was not saying to divide them among all of the schools, but she was simply saying to use them in their skill category and she was committed to the idea of 20 days that their skills could .continue to be used. When Dr. Payzant was asked how the motion, if approved^ would impact the General Fund budget, he replied that he had no idea without checking the records of what the average salary, was of the tem people, but he would think that the 201-day work year would be upwards of $16,000 on the average across that group, which would mean that they were talking about anywhere from $150,000 to $200,000 in additional commitment to the General Fund budget. . . ,, Dr. Hamm cojnmented that it would mean they: would have to find other places to cut the General Fund “'in order to accommodate -the motion.
Dr. Payzant stated that he would remind the Board that they were going to have to add teaching posi’tTdns;'1>ecause of projected increase in enrollment and there were a number of proposals coming in'from various areas for expansion of progams and for gifted and talented children to meet,, the state statute tfhat was there, recommendation for expansion of programs in other ai*ea-s,~that would result in the addition of teaching or counseling positions, which would mean’ that Were were going to be a number of requests for their consideration. - _ " "
After Dr. Payzant was asked by Dr. Hamm if it was his professional opinion that his original recommendation was the best that he could offer the Board to serve the children and the patrons, he replied in the affirmative. With respect to the extra 20 days, Dr. Payzant also stated that they,would have to design the clinicians' assignments in such a way that it would be clear what the extra duties and responsibilities would be so that they did not get into an inequitable situation with them basically performing the same tasks and responsibilities that the learning center teachers would be, working on a 181-day year rather than a 201-day work year. Discussion continued with regard to if the persons were taken off of Title I funds and put on General Fund, ifthat would free that amount of funds to be used to boost the Title I program, or would they not seek the grant?
f
Mrs. Darrell's response was regarding her concern that reading was so fundamental and she could not see letting that go when the unit cost per student was so much higher in some buildings, such as Clevelan Innovative School; that it was definitely one of her concerns to serve the disadvantaged children, but she thought it was worth it to the district to move toward greater sophistication of utilization of’ithe reading clinicians' skills.

PERSONNEL REPORT
Dr. Payzant explained that when the Title I proposal is submitted which usually .occurs in May or June, it is stated in the proposal how they were going to spend the money at whatever level it was going to be provided, and he did not think they would want to take the position of turning back Title I money which was designed to serve disadvantaged children.
R. #80 Motion Approved Re Reading Clinicians cont'd
After further discussion, Dr. Payzant agreed that if the ten positions were put on the General Fund, then there would be ten spots in the’Title I learning center vacancy that could be filled by other people.
Mrs. Hill commented that there seemed to be a lot of confusion on the issue and where it was coming from and what they would be committing the General Fund for, and suggested that maybe it could be considered at the next Board meeting, at which time Dr. Payzant reminded the board members of the April 10 deadline, the next meeting being held on April 5 and the time that would be involved in trying to meet a deadline of notices to persons involved. Mrs. Hill also referred to the projected enrollment and the fact that they had not looked at the;iother funds. Stating that she thought it ought to be done before budget planning time, Mrs. Darrell called for the previous question.
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, na; Mrs. Hill, no; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, no; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Dfenwerth declared that the motion carried. Drpayzant mentioned that the motion only took care of the eight positions on the reading clinicians and they would still have to deal with the learning center teachers.
Mrs. Darrell commented that since the motion had carried and those persons would be shifted from Title I, perhaps the people in the other areas did not know where the grants stopped and she did think that some of them that were indicated as Title I teachers could perhaps continue to be utilized. Commenting further, Dr. Payzant stated that he thought the motion should be clarified as to its intent with reference to the mobile labs' reading clinicians and with respect to the coordinator, Robert Brown. Mrs. Darrell asked if Mr. Brown's credentials were that of a reading clinician; that she was hot dealing with them individually but was tai king about the skills category, those persons who were listed as reading clinicians or having skills of reading CTihicians. Dr. Payzant then stated that there would be a distinction for Mr. Brown if he were reassigned as a reading clinician, where his skills as a reading clinician would be used for children; that if he would be continued as a coordinator, in an administrative position, then they should make that indication. Continuing the discussion, Mrs,. Darrell stated that she could see merit in the fact that if there was going to be a;rdefinTE’e~atTdspecific change from the way the program had been operated in the past, and to utilize their skills to the maximum for those additional*days-, perhaps there was some merit in having a coordinator who was responsible for that function for at least a year, to see how they could effectively over the next year better utilize the skills of reading clinicians and it might be that it would be beneficial to fia-ve a coordinator responsible for that task until the program was stabilized on the General?Fund. -
Dr. Payzant commented that he wanted her to undersiarfS that she was the one that was adding another administrative position to the General Fund budget and he did not recommend it; that he wanted to be very clear on what his position was. R. #81 Motion Approved to Retain Reading Coordinator
A motion was then made by Mrs. Darrell and seconded by Mrs. Brody - I move that the coordinator for reading clinicians be retained with the function of coordinating utilization of the clinicians for the coming year.
<
Mrs. Hermes commented that she would support the motion as long as they all agreed that the coordinator and reading clincians would get together and redefine their function in the district; that they were putting them on General Fund and with their expertise she would expect them to address themselves to all of the children, to address the whole district.
As,a final .comment, Dr. Payzant stated that he would assume that they were going to have to be placed somewhere in the organization where they would have accountability to somebody, to which Mrs. Darrell agreed. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, no; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, no; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. In voting Mrs. Hill stated that she did not believe in making the district top heavy at the administrative level. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried. |

Statement of Grievance: "Grievant was transferred without all qualified personnel being considered." Provision of Agreement Violated: "Article VI, Section 5, L."
Relief Sough-t: "All qualified personnel at Jefferson Middle School be considered* for transfer." ; .
Mr. Donwerth stated the purpose of the meeting andread the format that would be used in hearing the grievance, after which he called for the opening statement by the grievant's representative. As an opening statement, Mr. Bowers stated: Basically, we feel that the grievance here hinges upon the fact that the decision was not based upon the contractual criteria as listed in the negotiated agr^gment. There were a number of people who were qualified to be considered for the transfer. When;-Ms. Bullard was transferred only a portion of these people were considered*for -the-Jra’hsfer, and we feel that not only were these people incorrectly omitted from being considered but that improper criteria were used in selection of Ms. Bullard for the transfer. We will attempt to prove that ipstead'of using the criteria as set forth in the negotiated agreement that primarily the current teaching assignment of Ms. Bullard was used as the criteria for making the reassignment.
Opening Statement - Mr. Bowers
Ms. Davis' opening statement was as follows: This grievance has been heard at Level I and Level II already. At Level I it was heard and responded to by the principal at Jefferson Middle School, Ms. Martha Nell Dodson, and at Level II it was heard and responded to by me. There is a minor point that I would like for each of you to consider as we get into this- tonight, that there is a slight difference in the verbiage of the grievant's relief sought at Level I and II and then what is reflected at Level III. At Levels'* I and II the grievant requested that she be retained in a full-time capacity allowing for any changes in her assignment consistent with the needs of the students. But at Level III the grievant is requesting that all qualified personnel at Jefferson Middle School be considered for transfer.
Opening Statement - Ms. Davis
We as the respondents in the grievance will attempt to prove that the administrator in this situation, Ms. Dodson, followed the guidelines outlined in the negotiated agreement, Article VI, Section 5, K and L, and that the contract has not been violated. When an administrative transfer is necessary due to reduction in staff, the immediate supervisor will consider the program needs of the school and then determine the grade

levels and/or department where the reduction in staff can best be made. Ms. Dodson * evaluated the training, experience, special skills and interestsof employees impacted, and since there were no volunteers to reassign among the EH teachers, Ms. Bullard was determined to be the employee to be transferred. It is important to also keep in mind that Ms. Bullard is still assigned to Jefferson Middle School one-half of the time teaching EMH students, and one-half of the time she is assigned to Webster where she is a half-time teacher for LD students. The program needs of the children and minimizing disruption of classes aS much as possible figured heavily in Ms. Dodson's decision to reassign Ms. Bullard. To give you an example of the disruption that could have been caused if another type of reassignment had been made; if, as the grievant has requested, another teacher had been reassigned half-time, Ms. Bullard would have been teaching her regular EH class one-half time at Jefferson and the displaced LD teacher's class one-half time at Jefferson; then the displaced teacher would be teaching one-half time LD at Jefferson and one-half time LD at Webster. So just Ms. Bullard being reassigned, there was less disruption in that she could continue teaching EH at Jefferson and then pick up the new LD requirement at Webster. As the testimony of our witnesses unfolds, I believe that the facts will become very clear that Ms. Dodson's actionsasan administrator were proper and in accordance with governing guidelines.
"estimony 1s. Dodson
Ms.«‘Dodson responded to comments and inquiries related to the conversation she had wit$ Mr. Vern Moore when she found that a reduction in staff was going to be necessary; what was the enrollment of the "EH program at Jefferson; when was she informed that she would lose an EH teacher and what was her question to Mr. Moqre at that time; if she was aware of the various qualifications and certifications of the people in her special education department as a whole; who did Mr. Moore tell her that she should consider in making the transfer; what were the criteria that she considered in making the decision for the transfer; how did the program needs influence her decision; did she consider the minimum requirement of students for two full-time teachers; how many students were scheduled to be tested for the EH program; as principal of Jefferson Middle School, who was her immediate supervisor and did she confer with her supervisor on various occasions and for what purpose; a brief outline of her involvement in the action of the transfer as it related to her directions from Mr. Moore as well as her involvement in determining what types of changes would cause the 1 east disruption in her school; howhthe two EH teachers were approached about her decision; were:<any 'ofTier LD and EH classes mixed; the basis for her Level I decision on the grievance; if the staffing denominations for EH and LD were normally •dictated by the Special Services Department, and other.

"estimony Is. Geyer

LEVEL III GRIEVANCE Testimony As testimony, Ms. Bullard responded to questions related to if she held certificates Ms. Bullard in bp th EH and LD; the courses she took to qualify for the certificates; how did she perceive that the program at Jefferson would be disrupted if she were to go back to Jefferson; how the EMH program was set up at Jefferson before she left there; when she was transferred, how many positions was she offered and if they were in LD; what school did she choose to go to and what did she do during the two and one-half weeks she was there; did she perceive a problem in teaching three grade levels at once; if she was the least senior person in that department at Jefferson; were there less qualified persons at Jefferson who were not considered; as a special education teacher, did she feel that changing teachers at this time would cause disruption of the students; were there not minimal disruptions by Ms. Dodson pursuing the method that she followed in the transfer; was ft not true that she was'certified by the State Department separately in LD and EH and that because she had the dual program at OU, it did not mean that she would teach EH and LD combined all the time every day; did she not think that her going back to Jefferson and changing teachers would cause’a disruption of the students; did she go out on four interviews and was given four choices of LD positions across the district; did she elect to go to Capitol Hill Middle School; did the principal of Capitol Hill Middle School talk to her about perhaps in the near future an EH position may become available there;: had she not ever talked to anyone about the possibility of an EH position at Capitol Hill Middle School; was she assigned at Capitol Hill Middle School and did not have any students; her explanation of the waiting list of students; had IEP conferences been held with parents to get approval for the placement for students; did she ask for additional time to get adjusted at Capitol Hill before she was reassigned again; did she ask for reassignment after two and one-half weeks; did she elect to go to the Jefferson/Webster combinatfbn rather than be at Capitol Hill Middle School full time as an LD teacher; did she make the choice herself to work half-time at Webster and half-time at Jefferson; and other.
Ms. Bloomer gave testimony by responding to inquiries with regard to her position as Coordinator of Special Education; a brief outline of the process used to determine the number of EH and/or LD teaching positions assigned to a school; how did they arrive at the number of students that would be in the department; if there were different certification requirements for EMH and LD teachers by the State Department; the distinction between the two types of classes of students; does the school district decide on how the LD and EMH classes will be put together, can the students be arbitrarily mixed; is someone ever certified to /teach in another area without the proper training and certification; and other.
Testimony Ms. Bloomer
At this time Ms. Davis presented a Xerox copy of the special education breakout for certification by the State Department,of Education. Questioning was continued with Ms. Bloomer's response as to what part she had in recommendations in thearpa of reduction in staff for special education; at thaj, time was the Jefferson program a lab situation or was it seif-contained; what was the common situation for EMH students as to the number in a self-contained classroom; how many students°would be required bef-o-re-^he would recommend from the Special Services office a second full-time-t^'ac her, that ani additional teacher be added; what makes a student full-time; and other. Additionally, Ms. Dodson gave testimony to inquiries related to her clarification of the lab or self-contained classroom/^pd the fact that Ms. Bullard was in the special education department with a lot"ff^otherteachers that had dual certification, did she, Ms. Dodson, in dealing with the transfer only deal with Ms. Bullard as an EH teacher; if she was faced with the same sittratiofl i-njwf&ther department, say, Science, how would she handle it; and other. -
Additional Testimony Ms. Dodson
Mr. Bowers remarked as follows in his closing statement: We have heard tonight that a transfer was made of a special education teacher, a teacher who was certified in both areas and is now indeed teaching in two areas of special education; however, when the decision for the transfer was made she was only considered as an EH teacher. Apparently, the district uses a different criteria than Ms. Dodson in categorizing Ms. Bullard. As far as the district is concerned, Ms. Bullard is an EH/LD teacher. As far as Ms. 'Dodson is concerned she is only an EH teacher. The transfer was made without any investigation by,Mr. Moore or Ms. Dodson on the precise number of students involved; they both stated they did not know how many students were currently in the pr&gram or how many people were projected to enter the program in the near future. They simply accepted direction from above without any investigation even on a cursory level. What I would suggest is that administrative'convenience was one of the criteria used; that according to the testimony, the reasoning of the respondent, the teacher is EH at sometime aridspecial education at other times, and it is just up to whatever whim happens to be present as to which that teacher is likely to be. A gheat deal has been said about disruption. I think I would like to suggest that if originally, Ms. Bullard, since she is certified in LD, obviously, she is teaching it;

and Mr. Moore, I think, said he considered competent to teach that; if she had been moved to one of’the full-time spots, there is at least one person on the list in * that department who is less senior and has a weaker certification. It seems to me that in keeping with the contract that the proper move would have been to move Ms. Bullard to a full-time LD position at Jefferson and move that person to fill the half and half role.
The issue here is a violation of the contract. The issue is the rights of the teacher under the negotiated agreement. In the clause that is grieved, the criteria or the individual qualifications to be considered by the immediate supervisor are listed - educational training, experience, special skills and interests, and then seniority. It is obvious that the primary criteria here was none of these; th’at the primary criteria was administrative convenience and the current teaching assignment, and those were the only things that were really used in making this decision; and that is contrary to the negotiated contract.
Closing Statement - Ms. Davis
| j
Ms. Davis1 closing statement was as follows: As I move to close I would like to briefly speak to the points that Mr. Bowers just made and simply say that Ms. Bullard as an EH teacher was impacted because she was only teaching EH and only EH was cut initially. Now she is teaching both LD and EH; the situation is a little different. It is not that Ms. Dodson has one set of criteria she uses in the district or personnel has another; the circumstances were different. Before, Ms. Bullard was only teaching EH; now she is teaching LD and EH. She is certified in both, but we must^keep in mind that the State Department recognizes those as two separate areas witfriri the special education area. We have all spoken about disruption tonight. Wh®r? you think about a situation such as that,that occurred at Jefferson and across the district last fall and as will be in the future as adjustments are required, when we look at whether or not there is to be disruption to the teacher or disruption to the. students, and we have to weigh those and make a choice, the students must come first although we strive to minimize the impact as much as possible on the teachers. In closing, I would like to make the following points. Number one, it is an administrator's inherent responsibility to assign work. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the administrator as outlined in the negotiated agreement to determine the grade level and department where the reductions in staff can best be made when necessitated. i:And that can be found in Article VI, Section 5, Paragraph K. Secondly, loss of enrollment is a just cause for reduction in staff. The reduction in the EH enrollment is a case in point; therefore, the accompanying reduction in staff was appropriately one-half of an EH position. The reduction in staff due to loss of enrollment can be found in Article VI, Section 5 (I) 1. Third, there were only two EH positions at Jefferson Middle School. Neither EH teacher ••yoTunteered to be transferred; therefore, the criteria outlined in Article VI, , Section 5 (L) was used to determine which of the two EH teachers should be transferred for- one-half of the time. The criteria used for educational training, experience, skills, interests and- certification; Ms. Bullard had the least EMH as weTI as overalr experience; therefore, she was identified to be transferred for the one-half time position. We have a contractual arrangement in this district that speaks to the assignment of personnel. Ms’. Dodsorr~ha-s-fol 1 owed the criteria outlined in our contractual agreement. The gri'evant and her representative are asking you to rule in a mannej>'th-a.t would mandate seniority as the ranking factor for transfer or retention of personnel. Seniority is to be used only when all other individual qualifications are equal. ’That is not the case here. The educational training of EH and LD teachers are different^. So are the special skills required. Therefore, seniority cannot be used alone. The .key factor to remember is why was the transfer necessary? Because there were not enough EMH students for two teachers, we had to reduce by one-half position because of tlfe■ reducti^rjn EMH students projected. Therein lies our answer; the reduction in staff prar-alleTed the reduction in student load. With these facts in mind, I urge you to rule that Ms. Dodson as the immediate supervisor of Ms. Bullard did not violate the contract, and I, additionally, request that you deny her grievance and disallow the relief sought.
R. #93 Level III Grievance Denied
A motion was made by Mrs. Hermes and seconded by Mrs. Hill that the grievance (relief sought) be denied.
Members of the Board proceeded to discuss the’interpretation of the term seniority; the grievance with reference to the procedure of the transfer; whether all persons in the special education department should have been considered as opposed to only those teachers that were in the particular area that was affected due to the dec’rease in enrollment; the relationship of Article VI, Section 5 (K) - "When an administrative transfer is necessary due to reduction in staff, the immediate supervisor will consider the program needs of the school and determine the grade level and/or department where the reduction in staff can best be made. Properly certified volunteers will be transferred first if the transfer will not adversely affect the racial balance," to

Ms. Reagan spoke in support of students being returned to the Star School building and expressed opposition to those students being placed in portable annexes at Telstar and Willow Brook. Following Ms. Reagan's remarks, Mr. Donwerth stated that because of the interest of some patrons with respect to Star School, Dr. Payzant would make a report in that regard. Dr. Payzant reported that board members had received a summary of the parents arid Report Re Star School staff opinion survey that was done some weeks before and was compiled recently; that he was disappointed in the return because 259 letters were mailed to parents and staff and TTS^resporises'received; that the parents were asked to comment to two specific alternatives concerning a short-term arrangement for Star Elementary School and a long-term arrangement and there was room on the survey form to make any kind of open-ended comments that they wanted to make. He stated that the results showed that of the parents, for the short term, 64 parents who responded wanted to stay at Rogers and 31 did not even if it meant moving back to Star without a rebuilt cafeteria and some interim arrangements made for the feeding of the children for the school lunch program; that for the staff, one staff.person wanted to stay at Rogers and 16 wanted to move back to Star even in the short term recognizing that there-would have to be some short-term arrangements made for a cafeteria program; in the long term where the options were two, to rebuild the cafeteria at Star and reopen the building or secondly to keep Star closed and move the students to Telstar and Willow Brook where new additions would be built at each of those sites, 47 parents said that they would like to return to Star and 44 said they would prefer to go to additions at Willow Brook or Telstar; 16 staff members said that they would prefer to return to Star and one to Willow Brook or Telstar. Dr. Payzant added^that'obviously in the aftermath of the bond election results of the past week, the alternative of additions at Willow Brook and Telstar were not realistic which narrowed the options considerably in terms of the available plans for Star for next year and the immediate months beyond;triat the two options would be to stay at Rogers or to -' reconstruct the cafeteria with the proceeds from the insurance settlement arid reopen Star as soon as that construction work could be done, and his recommendation would be that they do the latter and he wool d ^suggest'^tO'+he Board that they put a motion on the Board agenda for action at the next meeting that would authorize him to proceed with a settlement with Jjhe .-insurance company that would provide for the reconstruction of the cafeteria at Star and reopen the school there. â– -X
.
.
Dr. Payzant also stated that althoughftit may not seem like a major project to reconstruct the cafeteria, he could not give any insuT^rrce on .a fixed timeline and there was no guarantee that even if the Board in two weeks authorized-him to go ahead and do that, that it would be possible to have the work competed-fo-r^thfe opening of school in August of 1982; that as they got further along in the specificplanning, he could give the Board and public a more detailed timeline, but it might be that they would either have to stay at Rogers for thg opening of the next school year or move into Star with the understanding that some kind of interim kind of arrangements would have to be made for feeding the children until the new cafeteria was available.
Continuing with the hearings, Ms. Robinson stated that a bus did not pick up the students in her area (10221 N. E. 19, Nicoma Park) the past week; also, that she would Tike to deannex from the Oklahoma City School System and annex to Nicoma Park. Ms. Murphy commented on the need for security for Star students who were housed in portable buildings, a desire that these students be returned to the Star School: building, a request that the minutes show verbatim the remarks of speakers, and other.
In her remarks, Ms. Myers referred to her children in attendance at Eisenhower Middle School, their need for supplies and more classroom space, why she opposed the bond issue, literature being distributed to children to take home, priorities of the Board, tfio need fo.r:;both sides of an issue to be heard, and other.

HEARINGS cont'd Ms. Bazhaw spoke regarding Senate Joint Resolution 28 which exempted some items from taxation that were part of the funding for public schools and asked that the district's ^legislative liaison be advised to lobby actively against it. She also commented on failure of the bond issue as it affected students and teachers and stated that the United Teaching Profession organization would furnish a ride to those persons who would like to visit the school buildings. Ms. Floyd's remarks were directed to support for the bond issue and the need for citizens to work together for better schools. Ms. Carlisle expressed disappointment in disapproval of the bond issue, and commented on the apathy of people in the community with regard to the schools. She also expressed her thanks to the Board, administration, principals and teachers of the district.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
Presentation on McKinley Park Site
Before the architects gave a pj^sentaH’o'n^cm-the McKinley Park site for the proposed new elementary school to serve'the attendance areas for Eugene Field and Willard Schools, Dr.: Payzant stated that he wanted to review for the Board the process that was used to arrive at the recommendation for selection of a site to construct the school. He stated that he had create two committees; one, a-committee composed primarily of teachers and administrators tliat'^arked on the development of educational specification' and gave advice on the program which,~®.o*uld ba.the basis for design of the school, and met under the chairmanship of Jack Isch, whicih specifications were presented to the Board at the March 1 meeting; and:a secant'Comnrittee/^a Iso an advisory group, and comprised of some teachers, some administrators, andsome community people from the Eugene Field and Willard communities; that he met with the group prior to the Christmas holidays and they djd some brainstorming on possible sites that could be considered for the location of the new school, and after additional meetings each committee member visited each of the proposed sites with the idea that their pros and con$ would be considered, the committee would come back together and narrow the sites to two, three or four that would be given serious consideration and the architects would be asked to pursue in considering their recommendation. Dr. Payzant continued, stating that the three sites selected by the committee were the current Willard Elementary School site, the current Eugene Field Elementary School site, and a site at McKinley Park in combination with some adjacent property; that there was no specific area of the park that was defined at that time, nor obviously adjacent property to go with it, and after the committee had gone that far, the architects then did some additional work looking at those three sites, and made their recommendation concerning the merits and demerits, of each; that he then met with the community committee and shared with them the results of the further study, the work of the architects, and the recommendation that the new school be located at McKinley Park in combination with some adjacent property and asked them for their thoughts and

comments. He added that the comments were mixed and overall supportive of the plan with the exception of the area not being centrally located; those persons in the Willard neighborhood expressing a concern that the children from Wil lard"would have to go farther to the new school than would the children from the Eugene Field neighborhood, which he stated would have been the case if the school had been located at either of the existing school sites as well. Dr. Payzant then presented Mr. Rex Ball and Mr. Domby Zinn, of HTB, Inc., who with exhibits pointed out the area of McKinley Park that was being considered as the site, the environment of the park, the housing that was adjacent to it, and the facilities that were existing with it. In his remarks, Mr. Ball stated that it was consistent with the policy recommendation of the OKC Plan, the comprehensive plan for the City of Oklahoma City where there was a recommendation that parks and school properties be developed adjacent to each other with cooperative facilities and joint use.
In his comments, Mr. Zinn stated that they had visited all of the sites and made an extensive study, treating them all equally. He pointed out the location of various facilities in the area and also for the proposed school'building, its accessibility to other portions of the park, and the parking lot. He then responded to questions and comments by members of the Board with respect to Douglas Street having to be operied and foreseeable plans in that regard, the number of pieces of property that had houses on them, acquisition of the property, advantage of a park for use as playground area, the numbej of property owners that would be involved in acquiring the adjacent property, and other‘ In responding to a question about acquisition of the property, Dr. Payzant explained that they had a preliminary meeting with City staff officials of the Park Department and one of the reasons for several of the recommendations that evening was to get authorization to go to the next step; that the park staff of the City was not in a position to give them a yes or no at that point because they had to work with their board, but the tone of discussion had been positive and he was optimistic that if they worked openly together, they would be able to work it through in a matter that was satisfactory to everybody, but they would not know'that until they had taken the actual steps and could get the various approvals. The following persons then addressed the Board on the subject:
1.
Marilyn Hudson

Edith Gregory

Audrey S. Baker

'
Ms. Hudson endorsed the combining of-the schools-,-Eugene Field and Willard, and urged support of the plan for construction of a new building for the upgrading of facilities for the students. „
Opposition was expressed by Ms. Gregory for the proposed.-plan for a school site at McKinley Park and asked that consideration be given to the present Eugene Field site which would not necessitate the relocation; of persons living in the area adjacent to the park, and other. -—... Mr. Di 11 berg spoke regarding the committee, of which -tie-was a member, which was composed of professionals and nonprofessionals that had chosen the three site selections out of approximately nine for consideration of the new school and stated that he thought through a very thorough and interesting survey they had done a very honest and successful job in making the selection for a site. He also referred to other school/park combi nations in the district, and other. Remarks by Ms. Baker included her support for the McKinley Park location, stating that she felt it was the best of all the choices that could be made, and that the Oklahoma City Principals' Association also supported the idea.
Speaking on behalf of the Willard Neighborhood Association, Mr. Wolfram referred to a study that had been dons of the Willard neighborhood which showed that the area had increased in population as well as the school enrollment, and spoke in support of renovating the Willard building and keeping the school in that area to help provide for revival of the community.
Speaking also as a member of the Site Selection Committee, Mr. Vaught spoke about his being against consolidation of the two schools, Eugene Field and Willard, but was willing to compromise in view of the failure of the bond issue. He also commented with regard to his being on the committee with Dr. Payzant and his staff and how impressed

he was with them in their fairness, their humanity, their demonstration for caring, and ^their desire for equal quality education. He spoke, too, of action of the Board with regard to consolidation of schools in other areas of the district, some provisions that could probably be made with respect to the Willard students, his support for the McKinley Park site location, and other.
Mrs. Hill commented that she had received some calls from people from Willard and they had a concern of the way students would be getting to school. She also asked if they would be bused across to the area? Dr. Payzant explained that children would be bused if they lived more than a mile and a half from the school, which was the standard used throughout the district, and that in any situation where they had to cross very busy streets, arrangements were made for crossing guards. He noted that there were a number of streets around the city that were busier than 10th and Linwood where children cross with crossing guards, and this was pointed out when the committee convened.
After Dr. Payzant was asked if there were areas where bus transportation was provided for students because of the traffic conditions, he stated that there were a few and cited as an example the extension of 1-240 where it goes into Grand Boulevard, where there was not an area for children to cross.
R. #96 • Approval of Items Related to McKinley Park Site and New School Building
It wa# moved by Mrs. Hermes and seconded by Mrs. Brody for approval of the following i terns:

After negotiations, a proposed agreement will be presented to the Board for consideration.
3.
Superintendent Authorized to Negotiate with Property Owners Approval to authorize the Superintendent to negotiate with the property owners of an area approximately 14O'_v4?0’’r~fT6'ar-and adjacent to the south side of the McKinley Park, an area whTcFi is to be used as a portion of a new elementary school site.

Mrs. Darrell inquired as to whether the "...not to exceed $3.8 million for building, equipment..." included an estimate for acquisition or would acquisition of the additional property be in addition to that? Dr. Payzant responded that it would be "in addition to"; that they were talking about eight pieces of private property with the hope that they could work out some kind of an agreement with the City for the park property, either trade property with them, , something of that sort so that they wouldn't be talking about a major investment of money.
In reply to Mrs. Hill's inquiry about having to get approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission, Dr. Payzant stated that the next step with respect to the park would be to make the presentation and seek approval of the Park Board; from there go to the City Council or Planning and Zoning Commission; that there were not as strenuous requirements for an elementary school as for a secondary school, less steps and less boards to go before with an elementary school project than with a secondary school. Also, in responding to Mrs. Hill, he stated that the street would be in addition to what had been discussed.

Mrs. Brody commented that she would like for the-school district to do a survey of parents and substitute the Festival of Arts in the spring instead of State Fair Day. She cited three reasons for her concern - (1) the fall was crowded with days off for the students and the spring was not; (2) because the students live in Oklahoma City, most..of-them go to the Fair many times; and (3) that she thought the Fair basically ■"ripped them off" and it was not the kind of thing that an educational institution should say they support and she thought the school'system should be saying that they support thfe Arts, and.maybe let that creep into the conscience level of some parents and maybe they would accompany their children to the Arts Festival. She added' that she would like to see an ongoing survey carried in the Eighty-Niner or School Report for an opinion with regard to a day provi"ded--:Ui-J±e.calendar for next year for the Arts Festival instead of Fair Day.

Remarks Dr. Payzant
In his remarks, Dr. Payzant stated that h&-wanted.to<€al1 to the attention of everyone present that there would be a- millage election on April 13, 1982; that often there was confusion about the purpose of the annual millage election and he wanted to clarify for those who 'did not understand what the three questions would be before the voters; that the first would be the request for a 10-mi11 local support levy which would generate roughly $6.8 million for the General Fund, the fund that supports the day-to-day operation of the school district; the second would be 5-mill emergency levy which would also go to the General Fund and would raise $3.4 million for the day-to-day operation of the schools; and the third question, a 5-mill building levy, a levy that supports the maintenance program for the school district, and it would raise $3.$ million. He added that the three questions would generate $13.6 million for the day-to-day operation of the school district and represented close to 20 percent of the overall operating funds that are used in the school district; that they were not talking about any new taxes at all, but authorization to continue levying the taxes that are levied year-in and year-out and are required to get annual approval for because of the way in which the Oklahoma Constitution was cast. He also stated that if a local school district does not approve the local support levy for 10 mills and the emergency levy for 5 mills, then that local school district foregoes the right to a major portion of its state funding, namely the money that comes through Incentive Aid from the state; that over $30 million would be lost in revenue to the school district if the millage was not passed on April 13; $30 million out of a $78 million operating budget.

R. #102 Approval of Purchasing cont'd
12. / Buses I Purchase of 61 (66-passenger) buses (diesel engine) for use by Pupil Transportation from the following companies which submitted the low quotations (24 mailed - 7 returned):
H. D. Copeland International Harvester Trucks
$1,261,419.00
Wayne Bus & Equipment Sales
i
490,989.00
Total
$1,752,408.00
These purchases are to be charged to Account G1230.05. Mrs. Hermes inquired about item 2, the use of radios by Custodial Services, after which Dr; Payzant stated that the custodial supervisors would use them and were people who spend some of their time moving from building to building and also at times custodians were on duty when building telephones were not manned and it would provide an opportunity for more effective communication and better supervision,and response to emergencies.
Mrs. HilKnoted that from item 12 three relief buses were being purchased and she was wondering why. In response, Dr. Payzant stated that for each block of buses of 25 or so it necessary to have some relief buses to take care of situations when buses were broken down; that normally they would use the oldest buses for relief and one of the goals for the system was to get ultimately to the position where they would not have to rely on the oldest models, holding them beyond the ten-year period which was set as a trade-in time for the relief buses when the others were in the shop having their routine inspection and maintenance work done; so it was an attempt to build up the relief stock somewhat to eliminate some reliancejjn some of the older buses for that purpose.
With reference to the diesel-engine buses, Dr. Payzant also stated that for the last two years as buses were being replaced, they had been recommending the diesel and would continue to do so, and as they become of age, it was believed that the Board policy could be changed from the ten-year, trade-in time to twelve~to fifteen years, which' time would not come’for another ten or eleven years because most of the diesel buses were new. On ro-1 T - cal 1, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.
The Central.Food Service Department Financial Statement as of February 28, 1982 was submitted as information to the Board.------ c
-V'
Mr. Donwerth mentioned that at a previous meeting cafeteria managers had expressed a concern about Central Food Service Department having to pay for their utilities and the possibility that the General^Fund could pick up the salaries of the managers and asked Dr. Payzant if he had addressed that concern.
Dr. Payzant replied that he was in the process dWaddressing it but it was a budgetary question that really should be considered at yie-time t'haf;. the Board looked at the overall budgets for both funds for 1982-83; also, th'aÂŁttte was working on a survey of all the schools to establish the amount of sales of candy, soft drinks, popcorn, etc.; what kind of money is collected and what that is used for, and he would have that information, hopefully,'-in two weeks.

7 R. #103 Approval for Establishing Procedure for Use of Journeyman Craftsmen
UNFINISHED BUSINESS Motion made by Mrs. Brody and seconded by Mrs. Darrell at the meeting of March 22, 1982 ^for consideration at the April 5 meeting: "Regarding the Superintendent's Maintenance Study Report, I want to move that along with establishment of the training program for Journeyman Craftsman and with the establishment of new positions of Journeyman Craftsmen in the Maintenance Department, that the Superintendent and staff establish procedures to have only Journeyman Craftsmen repairing and replacing all water heaters, boilers and their systems, gas lines and pressure valves, whether by the immediate hiring of such qualified people or by contract, or the combination of both, and hereafter only those having those qualifications will work on these systems."
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, no; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.
Consideration of Motions Approved by Board on March 22, 1982
Action to rescind or modify two motions which were approved by the Board on March 22, 1982: 1.
2.
"That the reading clinicians' title and job assignment skill areas remain as reading clinicians and that their source of funding be from General J|und for 201 days." ^That the coordinator for reading clinicians be retained with the function of ^coordinating utilization of the clinicians for the coming year."
Mr. Donwerth stated that he had made the motion at the March 22 meeting to rescind the action-of the two motions as stated because he had a problem with the 181 days instead of the 201 days as specified in the motion.
Dr. Payzant as an explanation for the audience reviewed the action of the Board which was to place eleven people who were called reading clinicians in the General Fund budget rather than have them supported by federal funds and reassigned to other positions. He expressed his concern of the dollar commitment to the General Fund budget before full consideration had been given to that budget and referred to the fact that board members had been provided -with data concerning the actual cost of the program if all positions were included for next year, an amount of $350,000; that there were a number of people presently working in the Title I program as learning center teachers who had masters degrees and the reading specialist certificate; that out of the 84 learning center teachers, 31 had either a masters degree or a reading specialist certificate, which meant that there were people with the same qualifications zas the reading clinicians and there was the possibility of an equity problem if there were a separate work year or salary established for the eleven reading clinicians and not for others who worked in the program. He also mentioned that there, could be a problem.with the Title I program where they might be accused of supplanting rather than supplementing the regular program., if the reading clinicians were assigned to the General Fund budget and they continued to operate the Title I program out of the learning center as had been in the past. Dr. Payzant then spoke to Tits recommendation to keep the people who had the title of reading clinician with that ratlÂŁ but assign them to'the 181-day work year and a salary commensurate with the educationaStraining and experience, assigning them to the Title I program, federal funds, with'the understanding that every effort would be made to assign them to situations where they wcyxld- be"usTfitftheir reading expertise.
Mrs. Hill commented that maybe the Board should spelT out that the reading clinicians would have first priority, for assignments to teach reading. Dr. Payzant agreed that it was his intent and he felt quite sure that by the time people were fully assigned for next year, they should be able to use them in their reading areas.
Mrs. Darrell inquired as to his projection for federal funding, after which Dr. Payzant explained-that there was no change from what he had said two weeks before; however, he expressed a concern that board members understand that by putting the reading clinicians on the General Fund budget, it would create eleven additional General Fund budget positions; that there would still be a number of Title I learning center positions that could be funded with federal Title I dollars and if they were not filled by the reading clinicians would have to be filled by somebody else because the services would be offered to children. After further questioning by Mrs. Darrell about anticipation of a loss in federal funds, Dr. Payzant stated that a loss was anticipated but most of the cuts were being made in aide positions and only a few teaching positions; that they would be able to

UNFINISHED BUSINESS offer close to the same level of services with respect to learning centers but they wou|d be staffed in a different way.
Mrs. Darrell continued to express her concern about utilization of skills of the reading clinicians and the uncertainty of federal dollars, and her wanting to put the reading clinicians in the General Fund budget.
Consideration of Motions Approved by Board on March 22, 1982 cont'd
As a point of clarification, Dr. Payzant stated that there would need to be a distinction among the eleven people since eight of them were in the generalization that had been made; that there were two who drove the mobile labs that could not be moved to the General Fund legally because they could not be supported with General Funds and have them provide the same function, and the person who was in the coordinator position would have to be treated separately. Mrs. Brody commented with respect to the Board having to make a decision that federal funds were never meant to be permanent; that they were for school systems to look at programs and if they were viable to be entered into the mainstream of the school system, into the General Fund. Reference was made to the proposed cut of reading clinicians the past year, the fact that the Title I evaluation had said that reading clinicians do a good job and were effective in the classroom; that reading was a big problem of the school system and she felt there was a need to put the reading clinicians in the General Fund.
In response, Dr. Payzant continued to explain his position; that he wished they could find a way, if federal funds were wiped out, to use General Fund money to continue some ki@$ of learning center for all students who needed that kind of service but his problem was that of taking eight people and putting them in the General Fund and there would not be the same kind of concentrated program for very many children, using tfte programming,pattern that was used and very successful because of heavy concentration of services with a few students; that there would still be 80 to 85 teachers involved in learning centers, eight of whom would have exactly the same credentials as the eight reading clinicians, and others who had mastersdegrees and were providing the special services. Continuing with the discussion, Mrs. Darrell expressed the need to begin to look at all federal programs and sort out the ones that had merit, the need to look at unit cost, and the possibility that they would have to merge some programs such as the innovative high school and give some concentrated efforts to reading. In additional comments, Dr. Payzant stated that they would not have the same program that, they had under Title I and was evaluated with successful results, because at that time-'twyears ago they had reading clinicians in two sites where children were taken for a special kind of evaluation and an instructional program, with aides, materials and a setting, which would be very different to taking eight clinicians and, say, assigning "them to eight elementary schools that were not Title I and letting them work with children who hacTspecial reading needs in the schools; that other things would have to be done to replicate the program that was under Title I with successful results.
Discussion continued between Mrs. Darrell, Mrs. Brody and Dr. Payzant with regard to federal guide!i„nes they apply to supplanting and supplementing a program, the ramifications and requirements, on what is provided through Title I funds, when the Title I application is submitted^ if the reading clinicians could be included as a priority for funding in Title I, theTcpncepts of the propgram as opposed to students being bused to two centers which was referred to as the reading clinician program, re-creation of the reading centers with., aides etc., thecreatinq of a program where the reading clinicians would go to the students, the fecje-ral fund application which denotes reading clinicians and their being placed under the umbrella of the learning center, the importance of the function rather than the title, reading as the number one priority of the district and the need to keep a program that is evaluated as being successful, and other. Mrs. Hill commented that she would like to see the reading clinicians funded from Title I one more year; however, accepting the fact that reading was a top priority, but she thought it would be hitting the General Fund rather heavily for the next year and it was important to keep them as reading clinicians or reading specialists. After further discussion about reconsidering the motion and the intent for that reconsideration in regard to'the days, a motion was made by Dr. Hamm and seconded by Mrs. Hill for approval of the following items, after which it was agreed that each item would be voted on separately.

MINUTES 0F MEETING OF APRIL 5, 1982 - CONT'D
UNFINISHED BUSINESS Board members continued to inquire about the recommendation with regard to Title I instead of General Fund, after which Dr. Payzant responded that if something happened that no one could predict with funding from the federal level or local level, the Oklahoma Statutes, always provides the district with the opportunity to do what has to be done because of what happened with funding down the line. He added that the recommendation was an attempt to give people guarantee for employment, assuming that everything else would go as they would expect for next year. After Mrs. Brody past meeting was she was correct, being allowed to
R. #104 Motion Re Reading Clinicians etc., cont'd
suggested that the only difference in the recommendation from the a change in title for the persons involved, Mr. Donwerth agreed that that instead of calling them learning center teachers, they were keep their title of reading clinician.
Dr. Payzant reiterated that there were people in learning center positions with the exact same qualifications as the reading clinicians, but if the Board wanted to change the program they would have to do that; give him some direction, and he would do so accordingly.
On roll call for item 1, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, no; Mr. Long, no; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, no; Dr. Hamm,, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, no. Mr. Donwerth declared that the item 1 failed.

Mr. Donwerth declared that item 3 failed. I.
Motion Made and Withdrawn A motion was then made by Mrs. Darrell and seconded by Mrs. Brody - "Imove that if federal funds are available, that the reading center program as outlined in the evaluation report received be implemented as it was outlined in the report; if federal funds are not received, that the program be funded through General Fund."
According to his interpretation, Dr. Payzant stated that the motion said to him to reopen a reading center at a school on.the northside, reopen a reading center at a school on.the southside, and bus students in from certain schools for those reading -.Services, since that was the way the program was that board members received the evaluation report on. â– 'x,
....
-â–
Mrs. Hill expressed a concern that she did not think that was what the reading' clinicians themselves wanted, after which Mrs. Darrell agreed that it was not what she wanted but had become so confused from-discussions from the last meeting; that she started out on the premise that if they had people with reading skills who had been functioning as reading clinicians, she did not want to see them put in a learning center teaching-mattr; that she wanted to find a way to utilize the skills of those persons for reading specialization and the learning oenter dealt with more than just readinc
Dr. Payzant replied that he had not givenJthe Board a one hundred percent guarantee on it; he did not know how he would do it, but none of the eight people would have to teach math; that he would see that they taught only jeadingT Mrs. Darrell referred to information that-board members had received after the motion was made atvthe last meeting to put the reading clinicians under the General Fund budget, and suggested that in the future alternatives be provided at the outset and the maximum information be provided.
Mrs. Darrell then withdrew her motion and Mrs. Hill commented that she thought they wanted the same thing, to have the reading clinicians funded under Title I teaching reading on the 181-day work year. Dr. Payzant stated that he could guarantee that the reading clinicians would teach only reading. A motion was then made by Mrs.. Hill and seconded by Mrs. Darrell that the reading clinicians be placed in the learning centers with the title of reading clinician and guaranteed to be teaching only reading, and to be funded under Title I for the 181-day work year.
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody,-yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.

In discussion of the motion, it was stated that Mr. Brown would be utilizing more responsibility in more schools than as a coordinator of the clinicians only, and would be working just on reading.
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried. NEW BUSINESS For Consideration at Next Meeting af the Board
The following motion was made by Dr. Hamm and seconded by Mrs. Darrell for consideration at the next regular meeting of the Board:
"I move to rescind the Board's previous action regarding the moratorium on schools closings and consolidation." Mrs. -Hermes stated that if they were going to reconsider consolidation or school closings, she wanted to suggest that staff come forth with information on the entire district; that when it was considered last, it was those with enrollment less than 200 and there were schools that did fall in that category that were not a part of the recommendati on. Dr. Hamm and Mrs. Darrell commented that the motion was just to remove the moratorium and if they were to look at consolidating schools, they would have to give some direction to the Superintendent, depending on the. outcome of the vote. Mr. Donwerth stated that he would like from the Superintendent and staff, if they brought back recommendations on consolidation or closing schools, that they bring it back not as a package to vote up or down, but give the Board the opportunity to look at various schools and programs and not just at one package.
Comments 'Ir. Long
As an item of concern, Mr. Long stated that he had received numerous telephone calls and complaints from patrons and parents about the idea having been left with the public ■’•through the media that the school buildings were unsafe for children to attend classes ,in them and he thought maybe Dr. Payzant could come forth with a resolution or some kind of statement to reassure those people that their children were not in danger in the buildings. He added that he agreed that the buildings needed paint, .Widows replaced and pipies that were leaky, but at no time did he feel that the”buildings were unsafe; that Dr. Payzant had addressed it before, but some people were still upset because they had heard so much. . - ' ' ------ Mr. Donwerth- responded that he thought it was a good idea and probably the reason Mr. Long and himself had received so many calls was because of a statement he had made that was tciken out of context;.that he knew they hacLsome buildings in conditions that were less than desirable but fi'e^thpught they would be rectifying some of the unsafe conditions by the motion that had b'defr-a p proved under unfinished business, and the replacement for Eugene Field and Willard. _ ’ _____ ...
Mr. Long expressed his agreement but reiterated that- he did not think they had a lot of buildings that were going to fall or something terrible was going to happen to the children in, and he thought the public should be assured of that.
As a closing comment, Mr. Donwerth stated that he thought a statement should be made and he would hope that it be printed as Dr. Payzant said it, since sometimes the sensational things get published and the others do not. Dr. Payzant added that he had been trying to make the same distinction which he had with some success and without success in some instances and would continue to do so.
R. #107 Approval to Reconstruct Cafeteria at Star School
It was moved by Mrs. Darrell and seconded by Mrs. Hermes that they move post-haste with the necessary plans ^.to reconstruct the cafeteria at the Star Elementary School building, 23rd and Douglas. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm,'yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes.

NEW BUSINESS Mrs. Darrell stated that she thought it was extremely important that they as a board Requests for move* to look at any and all areas where they could develop as many economies as Information possible; that in addition to the structural conditions of the buildings, the one point she heard repeatedly from Northwest Classen was the sanitary conditions of the building, the pure cleanliness of the building, and after going through the personnel directory she had observed that there was a range of from.'one to fourteen custodians in some buildings. She then stated that she would like a cost study to determine the feasibility of contracting out the janitorial cleaning services for the schools and for it to start with the elementary schools; that if it should be determined feasible, the elementary schools be the first ones to be put under janitorial contracts, which would possibly take several contracts; that in her own mind it seemed that it would be a lot more workable because the buildings would be cleaned and sanitized in the absence of children and staff and be ready for the next morning. In view of the outcome of the bond issue, Mrs. Darrell added that she had some concerns as to Where they were presently on the Carver situation and would like for the Superintendent to bring to the Board some kind of information that he had prior to considering the bond issue or what the condition of the building was presently and if it was of such that the program could remain there. Responding, Dr. Payzant commented that he thought it ought to be moved but did not have a place to move it.
Commenting further, Mrs. Darrell stated that they may have to close some buildings; that she^was committed to the idea that it was the one thing they had heard and she was sur^that the same people who had told her to be prudent with the taxpayers' money were going to be present when they got prudent, because there was no way they could operate the 101 buildings in the district and do it efficiently, effectively,' and safely with the same amount of money; so they may have some buildings that could be used that would be in a better condition than Carver. Mr. Donwerth stated that the sale of some surplus properties could very well afford the construction of a building on the site owned by the district west of Capitol Hill High School; that he would ultimately like to see that take place. ■ ■ |
As a request for information, Mrs. Brody stated that she knew the enrollment was up I and the counseling positions had stayed the same; that she was curious, with budget time coming up, how the ratio of counselors to elementary students had changed over the last few years. As an additional request, Mrs. Darrel 1 stated that in looking through the directory she had-noticed the position of attendance clerk throughout the district and found it 'interesting that in some buildings there was one attendance clerk and in others there were two or three, arid she thought it might be, time to look at a new system of reporting attendance',--because she-thdught they should deal with economies in all areas; ,that maybe they should have a bench mark of an enrollment of no less than, say, 500, where they would require an attendance clerk,, since there was a secretary in every building.

Demands Alleging Monies Wrongfully Paid and Lawsuit On April 14, 1982 the Superintendent's Office received a letter dated April 5, 1982 making demand pursuant to Title 70, Oklahoma*Statutes, Section 5-126, alleging that monies were wrongfully paid by the district and seeking the return of those monies. .
On April 22, 1982 the district was.served with a petition filed in district court pursuant to that same statute against the district and the board members. According to my reading of the statute that action was prematurily brought in terms that the district has not had an opportunity to review the letter received and respond to it as the statute provides. I have requested to meet with the Bpq.rd.in executive session to discuss this litigation and the Ross matter and the Superintendent has recommendations in the agenda with respect to both the letter received and the lawsuit that was filed.

Dr. Payzant introduced Ms. Alice Davis, Director of Personnel Services, who presented the 1982 Annual Affirmative Action Repo'rt.’^'MS'.--Da-vis indicated that in making the presentation, they were using the approach of an update of the report; that due to some unstable-conditions on the federal level under the present administration, it was difficult for them to set definite directions on where they wanted to go and decided to stay with the goals that were currently established, take a look at what had been done in the way of progrOss^where there may have been stability, where they had seen some regression, and make plaris^^lans to^monitor the areas of regression throughout the coming year and use information that they-hoped would be available next year when they got ready to do a report or assess! w-hetherxOr not they needed to change their goals, and come back to the Board at that time with any changes.
After introducing the members'of the Affirmative Action Committee, Ms. Davis called the attention of the Board to various aspects of the report; for example, in the area of administration and managers, the 1981 goal was set for 13.3 black females and the report showed 21 percent representation of black females in the administrative and managerial category; for white females in that same category, the 1981 goal was 25 percent and they were ^currently at 22.6 percent; in the area of secondary principals, the goal was for 7.7 percent black females and the district was currently experiencing 18.2 percent. ' She stated that they were experiencing some problem in the area of male elementary teachers; that the goal in 1981 for white males was 9.3 and the current percentage was 4.8; for black males the goal was 3.3 and they currently had 1.6 percent; however, she nested that in order to recruit elementary teachers they had to be on the market, so they were doing some reassessing over the next year to see whether or not they needed to put emphasis on visiting the universities maybe or maybe even some of the high schools to encourage black and white males to consider elementary education in the future; in other words, if you did not have a readily available recruiting source in the area that was targeted, the goal was sometimes difficult to meet. Ms. Davis added that one of the reasons they felt that they might be experiencing some difficulty in meeting their goals was because of recent cutbacks or reductions; that six percent of the total employment had been reduced from last year,

a total of 249 employees less in overall employees the current year; that sometimes ^ou could reduce the number of employees and increase the percentage of representation in one area and decrease it in another; and that an individual would have to study the statistics that had been provided to try and assess the total impact.

leport on New Elementary School
Dr. Payzant reported that on Wednesday of the past week he had given a presentation to the Park Commissioners at their board meeting on the facility at McKinley Park. He stated that he presented to that board the proposal that the Board of Education had approved for acquiring a portion of McKinley Park in the southeast corner of that property and adjacent private property for the purpose of locating a new elementary school to replace Eugene Field and Willard; that the commissioners heard the proposal, had a number of questions to ask, and took testimony from people in the audience; that seven or eight people spoke and two of the neighborhood organizations were represented, the Metro Park Neighborhood Association who spoke in opposition to the proposal, and the Classen Ten-Penn Neighborhood Asssociation that spoke in favor of it. He stated that the commissioners decided not to take action on the proposal at that meeting but set a meeting for May 19 at 1:30 p.m. in the City Council chamber to take up the proposal and act on it. Dr. Payzant informed the Board that whatever the outcome of the Park Commissioner's deliberations, the next step for the school district would be to go before the City“"Council with the proposal either with or without the endorsement of the Park ComiwRssi oners.
After inquiry from Mrs. Hill on the timeline, Dr. Payzant replied that the Park Commissioners had indicated that a decision would be made on their proposal at the meeting on May 19 and he was not sure how quickly you could get on the Council agenda and whether it was required for an item to come up for one reading at a meeting and then carry over to another meeting before they woyld take action on it.
Early Prevention )f School Failure ’rogram Report
Dr. Payzant presented Dr. Alice Houston, Director of Curriculum Services, to give a brief summary of a report on the Early Prevention of School Failure Program. Before she began her presentation, Dr. Payzant commented that the report was being presented partially in response to an issue on which the Board had deliberated at some length several months ago relating to what program opportunities were provided for young children of kindergarten to first grade; that it was a program that was piloted in the school district within the last two years and had been used successfully around i?he--country in a number of school districts, and they believed it spoke very directly to the issue that the Board was addressing and several others and would be a very positive step forward as they would seek to meet several of the top priorities in Board'goals with respect to learning and achievement for young children.
Dr. Houston's -remarks included the approach that was used with respect to the program, that the ;end of kindergarten was, mucKTOoH^rte-to begin looking at youngsters that were not progressing at the expecteddevelopmental rate, so, therefore, the proposal for an earlier prevention of school failure by beginning at the beginning of kindergarten. She mentioned the particular tests’that would be used in the’post-testing, the Preschool Language Survey, V’Lsual-Motor Integration,^and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary tests, from which she-'^tated they would determine the placement of the youngsters in their first-year program, • Reference was also made to after looking at the pilot site and the evaluation, it was shjqwn t-ha-t—the students gained from one and one-half to two months' gain for e®cKmenthjaf*^instruction, which they felt was very good. Dr. Houston also pointed out the major goals of the Early Prevention of School Failure Program which was to*prevent failure through early identification and remediation of developmental .learning,deficiencies in kindergarten students of the district; deficiencies which they felt would adversely affect their school performance and the two primary program objectives were screening and individualized prescribed learning
She referred to the section of the report on Rationale and information therein; program objectives'; important components of the program (screening, conferencing, educational planning, parent involvement and evaluation), stating that in parent involvement, they intended to share the screening with the parents very early, immediately after youngsters had been screened. She explained further with regard to the planning for each component; the various objectives; program cost, which she stated was approximately $83,000, a portion of it to be taken out of the 1981-82 budget, and the rest of it out of the 1982-83 budget, coming primarily from Staff Development and other materials budgets that the district had. She alluded to the persons that would be involved: approximately 85 kindergarten teachers, 21 elementary counselors, 16 psychometrists, 33 speech pathologists, 73 elementary and fifth year center principals, and the consultants within the Curriculum Department as well as in Special Education.
211
MINUTES OF MEETING OF APRIL 26, 1982 - CONVD
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
As a closing comment, Dr. Payzant stated that the results after a child would go through the kindergarten year of the evaluation would help determine one of three or more possible courses of action for a child; that one would be retention in kindergarten for a second year; a second would be promotion to a regular first-year program; and a third would be placement in a first-year program with a special recognition of the needs of the child discovered as the result of the experience with the Early Prevention of School Failure Program so the first-year teacher would have much more information to work with, and if that child did not make the progress in the first year that was expected, that the possibility for spending a second year in the first grade program would be considered in the spring of the first grade year by the staff and parents of that child. He referred to that method as a follow-up for progression that would take place as the result of children going through the program.
Mrs. Brody inquired about the program cost of $83,000 and if it would be ongoing, to which Dr. Houston responded that as the youngsters entered kindergarten each year for testing, the learning kits and other kinds of screening manuals would be there, that the.tests would also be there, and it would just be the kinds of materials that they used directly for the students for noting their progress or for writing the test results would be all that would have to be replaced. Dr. Payzant added that the staff development cost would not be recurrent because after.you initially trained the kindergarten staff and the others who would be working wjth the program, they would only have training cost for new persons entering the program. An observation was also made by Mrs. Brody that most of the cities listed where the prograrfi had been used, there were’so few urban cities, for which a reason was not established in the discussion.
Mrs. Brody also expressed a concern that the children not get placed in tracks as the result of the appropriate groupings, to which Dr. Houston responded that they would watch it carefully. In commenting on the proposal, Mr. Long made reference to a developmental program that had been used in the Oklahoma City school system some years ago, a program which he thought was doing a good job for the students, but that it had been abandoned for some reason which he did not know and he had. some concern that if they initiated the EPSF Program and spent all of the time in training and in funds, that it, too, would be eliminated; that in some schools there would be a large number of high-risk students while in other schools there would be fewer; that it was his thinking that kjds .were.being helped already by many of the good teachers who were doing what was 'Being proposed in the program; and not that he was trying to discourage anyone but wanted to call to their attention that there would be some hazards along the way.
Dr. Houston agreed that it was their intent to identify the high-risk students'and help the teachers work with them; that there might be some schools where they would find more of them than "in others, but it would-point up what the needs were and the fact that those youngsters needed some additional help. Mr. Long expressed further that he was in favor of the speech therapists, psychometrists , counselors, etc., helping the teachers but he thought they had that already, to which Dr. Houston responded that with the .particular program many of the students would be identified very, very early before the-youngsters would go through a series of failures. Mr. Long continued to comment on the duplicaty.gf-gf~effo7j§, making additional paperwork for teachers, increased testing of students by teacherMlthe implementing of mechanics that interfere w*ith the teachers teaching the kids.
A concern was expressed'by Mrs. Darrell about the program, first, because kindergarten is not required in the State of Oklahoma; her need,for additional information on how many children or what percentage of the children that were found in the pilot that had early failures identification; and if they were basing their consideration on the fact that it was a good pro grantor had documentation in that regard. In response, Dr. Houston explained that the reason for the pilot was that there were far too many students at the end of kindergarten that really were not ready for the first grade; that the state requires that there be some testing for high-risk students for not only kindergarten but for first and second grade youngsters. She included in her comments*that in stalking with the kindergarten teachers they thought it would be better to look at identifying them in the particular manner where they had a curriculum to support what the strengths and weaknesses were rather than just identifying the high risks for the state.
Mrs. Darrell further expressed her concern about the district being so segmented, such as gifted and talented, learning disabilities, so specialized that a student dared to be average, and she had a deep concern as to the percentages found within the pilot.

iarly Prevention )f School Failure ’rogram Report :ont'd
Dr. Payzant responded to the purpose of the program to identify early in their kindergarten experience, regardless of how many, the deficiencies of the students and that they catch them earlier rather than later on. Further comments were expressed by Mrs. Darrell about the undertaking of a program which she did not feel that there was a significant problem in the area and, again, the fact that kindergarten was not required by the State of Oklahoma. As a part of Dr. Payzant1s response he referred to those persons who pay for such services for early identifications, while other students are not afforded that opportunity.
Following the discussion between Mrs. Darrell and Dr. Houston, it was agreed that the information requested by Mrs. Darrell with regard to the results of the pilot survey would be shared with members of the Board. Dr. Hamm expressed a desire that they have some parental input with respect to information on the pilot program along with the hard data that would be furnished to them. Mrs. Hermes alluded to the fact that she thought she was the one responsible for bringing to the Board's attention the unreadiness of some kindergarten students to enter the first grade but was disappointed that the program did not address itself to the Oriental languages as well as Spanish; that she had a concern about five staff members testing every kindergarten child at the beginning of the year and the testing that vfes already having to be done by teachers. She added that until they took a stepÂŤ-and insisted that they as an administration and board were professional enough to determine which children should be retained, that the proposed program just added money where it really wasn't necessary; that she had asked the Superintendent if they had a right to retain children and was told that it wasn't done because it put,the child in'the middle between the parent and the teacher and they did not want to do that, but she felt it was not fair for a child who was not developmentally ready to be put in the first grade where he was going to-have to address himself to academics.
As further explanation, Dr. Houston mentioned that they had various screening tests in Spanish; however, the Lau staff would be ready to assist those youngsters with limited English speaking proficiency. She added that it was her understanding that the state said if a student reached a certain age by a certain date, the youngster was eligible for the first year experience.and because of that'law the youngster would have to go to first grade if parents really’s-aid that was what they wanted.
After clarification on the law with regard to retention at the kindergarten level, it was suggested that maybe there ought to be mandatory retention at the end of first grade. Withregard to teachers being bogged down with testing, Dr. Houston, again, mentioned that these students -were already being tested arid diagnosed, and with the .EPSF Program it would be done early in the school year with the proper curriculum arid remediation. After Mrs. Darrell requested additional' information on screening, Dr. Houston referred to the Oklahoma Screening Instrument that is used for first and second year students, those things that are identified in the screening, and the things that are necessary for kindergarten teachers -to look at, and the proposed testing by the EPSF Program would replace that procedures Concerns were expressed by Mrs. HilT.gjbout t-fa*cost of the program and teachers having already said that they needed more sujapliess-t-he short notice to teachers about the training; the testing that teachers" alrea^y-^fiave to do without additional requirements for testing; the fact that they were^proposing to spend the $83,000 and kindergarten was not even required. She also stated that she wanted to know the four schools that were piloted. In responding to some of Mrs. Hill's concerns,'Dr. Houston stated that it would provide approximately $500 worth of classroom materials to each kindergarten teacher; that kindergarten teachers, too, felt that they needed a1 share and had been asking for more attention with regard to curriculum and materials for their classrooms. She also named the four schools in which the program was piloted, as Edgemere, Lafayettei'Star and West Nichols Hills.
As a final comment, Dr. Payzant stated that board members would be provided with additional information as the result of the questions raised and the action would be scheduled in the agenda for the next meeting; that if there were additional questions or information needed, for members to let he or Dr. Houston know, and it would be provided.

Compensation for basic, architectural services shall be six (6) percent of the construction cost.
Mrs. Hil:k inquired about approval of item 3 in connection with the motion under Unfinished Business with regard to rescinding the moratorium on school closings, as to whetl^r the action would be a commitment to keep Star School open?
Members of the Board commented as to the action being a follow-through of action at a previous meeting, ifia new cafeteria is built the Board having to make a commitment that the school would be open for a while, and other.
Dr. Payzant commented that boards change and times change and he could not give the commitment that a future board might not sit there some night and make a different decision; that the intent was to move forward for next year because it really was the only alternative that was ,open to the district to serve the children; that if circumstances changed in two or three years, a different board or a different superintendent could have a different recommendation. He added after further questioning that the expense would come from insurance money on the basis of replacement cost minus the deductible. Mrs. Parrel 1 asked about a sum being paid by Champlin Oil Company for an easement and -there being no renumeration shown from the City of Oklahoma City, after which Mr. Shepard stated that it was not a commercial venture with the City; that it was being granted for them to.put in a water line and was traditionally what the district had done over the years with the City, a cooperative type of venture.

Donna Myers

Pam Robertson

Susan Barnhardt

James G. Ayling
....
_
Ms. Myers directed her remarks to failure of the bond issue, non-support of school patrons for school closings, support of neighborhood schools, accounting of money being spent by the district, and other.
A concern was expressed by Ms. Robertson that board members be representatives of the people, breaking a promise to the citizens by lifting the moratorium on school closings, information on where the district's money is being spent, the connection of the bond issue failing with the closing of schools, and other.
Ms. Barnhardt's remarks included mainly of what the patrons considered as a commitment from board members when the moratorium was approved. Mr. Kernahan, too, spoke about the moratorium and keeping schools open, specifically Kaiser, community growth, community support for schools, a commitment that should be kept by board members, and other.
Hearings
228
1982 - CONT1 D
HEARINGS
Remarks by Mr. Ayling included what he considered as an attempt to spite the school patrons by rescinding the moratorium on school closings, relationship between the bond issue and the moratoirum, proposed increase in enrollment, economic development in the Oklahoma City area, the need for full research on impact of school facilities, and other. Following the hearings Mrs. Darrell commented that she was prepared to vote on the question and to provide some clarity to those persons present; when reference was made to commitments and promises, she did not deal with setting policy as a commitment or promise anymore than the time demanded that the policy was effective; that Congress made laws which they changed as well as the Legislature which were not necessarily feasible at all times. She also spoke to the comment that the action was some kind of punishment for failure of the bond issue which she stated that nothing was further from the truth, but their concern as a board was to be able to provide a safe, decent, sanitary learning environment for the children in the city, that is, the utilization of facilities as it would best facilitate an educational process; that she would not sit on the board and not take any action out of fear of someone being upset about their neighborhood school. Mrs. Darrell added that the Board provided a clear exercise in the democratic process whereby 8,000 people thought that the district could provide safe, decent, sanitary facilities without a bond issue; that in her mind she was setting out to do that to the best of her ability to deal with economic feasibility; that she just wanted to make sure that patrons were not treating her action as a breaking of a promise, a failure on a commitment, or any kind of backlash to t^e" voters, because her belief was that the democratic process does work; that the no vo*te said it could be done without a bond issue and she believed they could.
Mr? Donwerth commented, first, with respect to a remark about the fact that there may be grafting on the board, which he stated he would like for anyone who had such information to come forward so it could be substantiated. He spoke about .. it being said that an investigative audit was needed for the district and asked that taxpayers should get the state auditor to do so if they wanted it, that board members could not; that an annual total audit is done each year of the district which was open to the public; that the Board would welcome an investigative audit by the State Auditor. He also referred to items softie persons had connected with the bond issue, which were not related to it in any way, as a reason for their no vote. He alluded to the fact that the board members were elected to make decisions and set policy and were not lawmakers; that it was their duty to reject or modify recommendations made by the Superintendent and staff; that the Board would have closed some schools before when it was presented to them had the recommendation been presented to them in some way rather than accepting or rejecting the whole package. He spoke about what was ..tOV-Qlved in closing schools such as consideration of where the students would be placed, consideration of the number of students in a building, and other. With regard to opposition of some persons to the air conditioning of sixteen schools which was a part"of the bond issue., Mr. Donwerth explained that the schools were built for putting in air conditioning, so expenses were lost some years back because the d-fstrict did what it.thought necessary to be done at the time, and that when the bond issue was defeated it was like "throwing the -baby.o.ut with the bath water" because some people did not like the air conditioning; that the Board had made the decision to include the items that were a part of the bond issue but any vote by the Board to rescind the moratorium Tvas -ribt for punishment because the bond issue failed. He added that he thought there were a of tilings that could be done without closing schools and maybe they would have to look at some j^f those, but it was"their responsibility to plan a budget and stay within it. *"'"***■■*.*,•
Mrs. Hill stated that she did have some concerns because she did ask for the moratorium when it was approved; that it was a commitment ~that'"Was made to the public and she felt like the Board needed to honor that commitment and their decision; that enrollment was upfrom last year for>the first time since she had been on the Board and maybe the moratorium was the cause of that. She added, however, that her motion did leave the door open for buildings to be looked at and there was still room for school closings if the Board felt like it was necessary; that the door was also left open for consideration of the condition of the buildings and the maintenance costs if they wanted to look at buildings without really lifting the moratorium, and she thought they should honor the moratorium and therefore could not support the motion that it be rescinded. Mr. Long stated that they had buildings that ought to be closed but that the basis for doing that should be the condition of the building solely rather than how many kids were enrolled, because some of the schools that had a small enrollment were some of the nicest and best buildings in the district; also, that some of those schools had special programs that would be eliminated if they were closed and he thought they needed to keep those programs going. He reiterated that if they needed to close some schools for economy they should pick out the ones that were falling down and somehow get the kids to the buildings closest to them which were in serviceable condition; that he had not made a study on it and would not presume to'/suggest how it would be done, but he thought that would be the route to take, and in that way would not have to lift the moratorium but could just move ahead.

Commenting, Mrs. Hermes stated that she supported the moratorium and changed her mind and wanted to speak to what had been said, because she heard the community, saying that they did not want children bused but suggested that they close the inner city schools, which were in the worst repair, and bus those kids out to the extremities of the city and she did not consider that fair at all. Mr. Donwerth stated that the lifting of the moratorium did not automatically close any school; that no ispecific school had been recommended for closure; and the lifting of the moratorium would merely untie the hands of the administration to make recommendations to the Board. He added that he also supported the moratorium at the time it was approved but he had some problems with not supporting the motion regarding the moratorium.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS Motion by Dr. Hamm and seconded by Mrs. Darrell at the meeting of April 5, 1982 for consideration at the April 26 meeting:
"I move to rescind the Board's previous action regarding the moratorium on school closings and consolidation."

The foU-bwing motions were made by Mrs. Hill and seconded by Mr. Long: 1.
"I move to delete the policy on Retirement of Facilities and a new policy be written."
2.
"I move that the Superintendent provide the following information on all schools to the Board within two weeks; this information would come to us on May 7:
Condition of the facility; Capacity of all buildings and the number of children in attendance;
Percentage of growth in each building for the last two years; Where the growth is in the district; and the Board to make that final decision on May 24, 1982 on the schools that would be closed.
"The Board to schedule a workday during the week of May 10 to target'potential schools for closing. "At our regular meeting on “May 17 we have a hearings section set aside for each school... on the list to have six minutes to present their case; no other school closing hearings to be heard that night and no hearings on May 24." “~'X
Members of the Board discussed the-lotion as to the timelines stipulated therein and the necessity of voting at that meetingttxr allow^more time for preparation of data by the Superintendent and staff. ; A
Dr. Payzant expressed his concern that it would depend on what the Board wanted by way of descriptive information on the condition of the facilities, the variable in terms of data and his needing, to know more about the specifics. In response, Mrs. Hill stated that she would suggest to use the Long Range Plan when they had an architectural firm look over all of the buildings in the district and they listed the schools that needed major remodeling within the next three to five yearsand they were listed in the order of need; that since that time a lot of things had been done to those buildings, and they would need to know what had been dane'in the buildings to change their priority listing. She added that she was not looking at just closing elementary schools, but a high school and some middle schools and a suggestion that they move the Research Center back in the Administration Building because she thought there was room for it; that if they were really going to get serious, she thought they needed to "bite the bullet" and go ahead and vote on the motions that night.
Discussion continued as to providing time for staff to compile and coordinate the necessary information. Speaking to the May 24 date for making the decision, Mrs. Hill made reference to the fact that that board would not be together as a group after the first week in June and she thought they needed to make the decision.

Dr. Payzant commented that most of the information that had been asked for was already available in accessible form;thebnly ththgcthat could generate .a lot of work, depending on what the Board's expectations were, would be information on the physical ^condition of the facilities; that if they used existing data, the Long Range Plan and the Locke-Wright-Foster study, the work that had been done on the buildings in the last two or three years and just updated that, it would take a little work but it could be done probably in a ten-day, two-week deadline. Also, if they were talking about another study of facilities which they did not have in-house the technical expertise to do in terms ofiihe physical and structural condition of the buildings, they would have to get some outside help, and they would be talking about a long time. With respect to rewriting the policy which Mrs. Hill explained would have to be deleted before some schools could be considered for closing, Dr. Payzant indicated that the Board would have to give its direction; that he thought the decisions that would come out of the work session would be the development of their policy on the closing of schools, Retirement of Facilities.

After being asked if he felt comfortable about the timelines, Dr. Payzant stated that he felt comfortable with everything but the description of the 100 facilities and that one he might not be able to get done completely but would assume that he would set some priorities and take the oldest ones or the poorest conditioned ones first; that he could probably give them the top 25 or 30 in terms of age or condition. !

Mrs.-Hill expressed thanks to the Superintendent and staff for the voluminous report on chemte-^ls that was sent to U. S. Grant High School and stated that she hoped the students would take the-flfne to read it because it was very informative. She--aT%o stated th-at she enjoyed attending the Science Fair at the Omniplex; that having attended the Fifth-Year Center activity. at_Taft Stadium, she has always been impressed by the school spirit that is exhibited by"tHe^Students at that function and she wished there was some way they could carry that school spirit on into middle school and high school. Mrs. H-ii T ?a-lso referred to the Industrial Arts Fair and how much she enjoyed it.
Comments Mrs. Hill
A"
Mrs. Hermes commented that she, too, attended the Science Fair at the Omniplex; that fourth and fifth graders had projects in'The FairEnd they were really, really good; there were three judges, not school employees, jtrdging~ eaph and every entry and the children were required to answer questions about thei^hpxojects which was very well done with a high caliber of scholarship in it. She added that not all of the schools had projects in the Science Fair and she would like for them to see that the science teachers, elementary anti fifth year center teachers get as much information and ideas as possible for the Science Fair so that they can instill that creativity’in the children to enter projects. She described the ribbons that were given for winning in the Fair, and the fact that it was broken into categories allowed children in the lower grades to win awards for which much enthusiasm and joy was shown by them.
Dr. Hamm stated that he attended a meeting on Saturday, May 1, at which the Board was represented and several of the Central Office administrators, a good many people from the faculty at U. S. Grant, a very enjoyable meeting where everyone was working in close harmony; that they had a reception and celebrated afterwards, and it was the wedding of John Carter and Marybeth Buttermore; John, a former coach and teacher at U.

Remarks by Ms. Hays, Ms. Baldwin and Ms. Wright were in regard to how they as Kindergarten teachers felt about the Early Prevention of School Failure program. Reference was made to the screening prodes-s^that would be used, the readiness or unreadiness of a student to move on from one grade-to another; inservice programs that had been conducted for kindergarten teachers; new concept of.„EPSF program, its advantages and disadvantages; support for the EPSF program,. a-nd other. Ms. Hart spoke about the financial problems of the Food Service Department, proper nutrition as a vitalI part'of the learning process, increased price for school lunch and loss of participation, reduction of hours worked by employees, consideration for picking up managers' salaries and equipment by the .General Fund, discontinuance of practice for charging Food Service Department for Utilities, and the continuing competition of candy sales in the schools. At the conclusion of her comments, Ms. Hart asked for a reply, if possible, since it had been presented to the Board previously.
Dr. Payzant replied that several things had been done in response to Ms. Hart's request; that directors had done a survey of all the schools concerning food items that were sold and the money generated by them, a report of which was given to the Board a week before;^that he had asked Mr. Shepard and through him, Mr. White and the Food Service staff to look at the implications of her other suggestions for consideration as the 1982-83 General Fund budget was brought to the Board for consideration, and he would hope to have a draft of the budget to the Board by the end of May and final action normally would not come on the General Fund budget until the end of June; so the last two requests by Ms. Hart should be addressed in the context of considering the General Fund budget for 1982-83.

Mr. Donwerth informed Ms. Hart that Dr. Payzant would provide her with a copy of the report on the schools concerning sale of food items which was given to the Board. Remarks by Mr. Chesher were in support of the Trade and Industrial"programs in the Oklahoma City school system and Norman Powell, a teacher. He asked that special attention be given to the Auto Mechanics class at John Marshall.
Comments by Ms. Miller were in opposition to the EPSF program. She also made reference to her belief that the materials for the program had already been ordered; the need for a facility for the handicapped students and her suggestion that Patrick Henry School be used for that purpose, which was purchased through a lease/purchase agreement by the State of Oklahoma, an agreement which she believed was illegal.
Reference was made by Rev. Winters to a lawsuit which he stated was filed against each individual, persons named in the suit and not against the school district. A concern was expressed by Ms. Ponder that in consideration of school closings and the the result of that action, that consideration be given to the status of employees in the buildings that may be closed.and a plan be carefully considered.
LEGAL.AND FINANCIAL REPORTS Mr. Donwerth informed the Board that Mr. Bleakley would be late in attendance at the meeting a^d the Attorney's Report would be given upon his arrival. Mr. Ladd gave1 a routine treasurer's report. the Clerk.)
(Copy of report on file in office of
Mrs. Hill inquired about the Time Deposits in the Treasurer's Report and what year the money was for? Mr. Ladd replied that it was for the 1981-82 fiscal year; that the funds continue to come in; however, most of the funds come in early in the year; at that time they invest those funds, and then as the year progresses, income from the County diminishes rather severely after April. He added that most of t-he^money had come in; that of the near $14 million on hand it would be used to complete'^he school year ending on June 30, but they would also have to carry something over to begin the next year, so the funds would be carried over into the next year as a reserve or surplus. Mr. Ladd also years past, the district was forced to issue nonpayable warrants, but fortunately the last two or three years the district had not had to do that with any funds except the Building Levy fund. After Mrs. Hill then stated that the funds were for a calendar year and not-arftscal year, Dr. Payzant commented that perhaps the simplest way to state it was that in the best of all worldTyou would have income cn.ming into the district at the same rate the expenditures would require, but thatWas not the~way it happens in the school district; that you have peaks and valleys with your income and you have a steady rate with your expenditures;'so yotr:have to take the money that comes in during the peak^period and put that away and hold it; that .the prudent thing to do was to invest it and make it earn money while they were holding^, so that they would^then have it during the period when there was not much income^coming in and the expenditures were still there at a steady level. -Jgf „â–
Dr. Payzant also referred to another thing that'happen*^ n a school district; that although the fiscal year ends on June 30, a number of employees have completed. . their contracts of work prior to June 30 but have elected to be paid on a 12-month cycle so that they receive checks in July and August that must be paid with funds from the fiscal year that ended on June 30; also, that you have some purchase orders for materials and equipment that perhaps are written in May and June and don't come due until July and August, making it necessary to set aside that money prior to the end of the fiscal year in order to meet those obligations in July and August that were made prior to June 30.

R. #128 Motion Failed Re EPSF Program for 1982-83 School Year
Before consideration of the recommendation on the proposal for the Early Prevention of SchogT Failure Program for implementation in the 1982-83 school year, Dr. Payzant commented that he had tried to respond to questions that had been raised by members of the Board at the last meeting with information prepared by the staff people and had based his recommendation on the criterion that it was in the best inerest of children and was consistent with the high priority goals that the Board had set and charged him with the responsibility to reach. A motion was then made by Dr. Hamm and seconded by Mrs. Hermes for approval of the Early. Prevention of School Failure Program for implementation in the 1982-83 school year? Mrs. Darrell inquired about the orientation schedule, as to whether the Superintendent and staff felt comfortable that the people who would be involved in implementing the program would be able to receive the necessary orientation?
Dr. Houston explained that they did feel comfortable with the orientation period on June 2 and 3 and for any teachers who perhaps would be on vacation at that time, a make-up one had been planned for later. Still expressing a concern about the schedule, Mrs. Darrell stated that she was still wondering how many teachers were comfortable with it and she Would not want to hear from teachers later on that they did not have time; after which Dr. Houston added that one of the things that helped her staff to feel comfortable was the fact that when they did the pilot program in 1979-80 all kindergarten teachers were inserviced along yyth.the four schools that were doing the pilot study; so, therefore it was not Something completely new to all kindergarten teachers.
Dr. ‘Hamm asked about ^ recommendation from a principal that had .been receive/! in some of the background^material that they have a year of groundwork and preparation.
Dr. Houston's “response was that if?XeacJ]grs were not familiar with the project at all she might see some merit in t-h^tfrecommendation, but the fact that they intended to have a very thorough inservicing on June 2 and 3, and that on July 21 intended to do a workshop’■and then a follow-up for any persons who had not been able to be inserviced during that time, she did feel comfortable with implementing the program the coming year. She added that she dicLdcyree with many of the'things the principal had recommended but did not believe fh^4)£eded that much time to prepare for that particular program.
Another question was asked by Dr. Hamm wiifh’reg’arcT-’ttJ^another principal's response thait the program would be adding more record keeping", to which Dr. Houston replied that she was. not quite sure what the principal meant by the statement; however, it would require a post-testing;''the OkTahoma'jscreening.'instfument .did not, but the post-testing was not as intensive as the pre-testing. She also stated that she had received calls from kindergarten teachers who offered suggestions for streamlining the forms and other things and they had learned within the pilot to streamline some things.
Dr. Payzant commented that, too, the post-testing would only occur with the high risk and moderate risk students and the number of children post-tested would be considerably less than the number pre-tested; therefore, they would not have the same volume of testing at the end of the yean as they would have at the beginning of the year.
With regard to funding, Dr. Hamm referred to a statement having been made that it be funded and not become a financial burden to the individual schools.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF MAY 3, 1982 - CONT'D £ASE£
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
Dr. Houston's response was that she did not feel it would impact the individual school budgets at all; that the person was referring to the fact that he did not want the burden moved from the Curriculum Department to the individual schools without the funds also accompanying it; that it would be handled from that department rather than being passed onto the individual schools, arid she did not feel it would impact the schools' budgets at all.
With reference to a high percentage of student turnover in some schools, Mrs. Hill inquired as to how that would be handled, the new students entering kindergarten and since they, too, would need to be tested'and screened also? Dr. Houston replied that even with some of the prior testing that had been done, it was impossible to catch every child, but with that particular type of program there were two methods that could be used; they could possibly have some central location which would handle incoming kindergarten youngsters, do the screening and then send the information to the teachers, or they could ask that it be set up at the individual schools; but it was her intent that they screen as many as possible, if not all of the kindergarten youngsters because she felt it was important that they get the necessary information before beginning to work with the students.
Mrs. Hill also expressed a concern that she had heard from teachers with regard to the additional paperwork and record keeping that would be involved in'the EPSF program. Dr. Houst($), again, commented about the fact that the program would entail some record keeping ’3’nd teachers’had taiked with her about streamlining some of that, and they would tacks steps to streamline and cut out as much of the paperwork as possible without damaging the program. Dr. Payzant referred to a meeting that he had with kindergarten teachers several years ago where the teachers had asked for additional help with materials and activities that would be responsive tb? needs of children as those needs were identified, and to the extent that time couTd be saved by making a variety of materials and activities readily available to.teachers for use with children; that he did not see that the overall time necessarily would be a net increase but could be a refocusing of the time whereby with help in one area, the time would be freed to pick up the additional requirements in another. Inquiry was made by Dr. Hamm as to the kinds of 'provisions that had been made for monitoring the program if it should be approved, and would the classroom teachers be involved in theoevaluations and helping to streamline the instruments?
.Df. ‘ltd us ton referred to the curriculum consultant that would be the person who would run that particular program; that just as she had kindergarten teachers on the committee to help fi„nd an instrument of that nature, arid had ’ always kept in touch with kindergarten teachers and’askext’for their input not only for streamlining but for suggestions and ideas-, she believed that would continue whereby she would ask their assistance with the development of1 any kind of curriculum. Comments were made by Mrs. Hermes that when the program was piloted at Edgemere, she was helping and* sh'&-did not realize it was the same as the EPSF program; that the two biggest complaints that she had heard and experienced when they were testing the children was the amount of papervZork not only at the teacher level but at the office level, and the amount of volunteers vkrequired. She suggested that if the program was approved that the Board back her on the idea^f using the volunteer bank, friends of the Oklahoma City School System, concerned parentsy and those groups that had shown interest in the system, and try to get people ^ho' wOuJd^Tve of their time during the six-week block for testing the students, especially those people who would have teaching certificates, because sometimes you could not depend absolutely on parents.
Dr. Houston then briefly outlined that the plan was that the psychometrist would actually be the person to give the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test or the guidance counselors to give the VMI or Draw-A-Person Test, and they had kept to a minimum the number of volunteers that would be needed to administer the tests; that with the psychometrist giving one section, the kindergarten teacher giving another, the counselor another, and the speech pathologist another, then it would leave only one other test to be given and the principal had the option of drawing from a Title I teacher, a LD teacher, curriculum consultants, and a bilingual teacher or an aide. She added that it-would add to have parents in the schools to help with the testing but they felt it could be kept to a minimum by structuring it the way they did.
Mrs. Hermes continued to express concern that the kindergarten teachers be freed up from the testing so they could continue working with ,£he children in the classes and that the volunteers could be those persons who had been working with children for years, maybe the Adopt-A-School people such as the Junior League that had adopted Edgemere School, and that she knew of at least a dozen people who were involved in the program before who really had the expertise and the time to do it.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
In reply, Dr. Houston stated that even though the Junior League did not know they R. #128 dwere trying to implement the program they had called making a booklet available to Motion Failed Re them on early prevention of school failure which did show their interest in working EPSF Program with youngsters very, very early, and she did intend to contact them. for 1982-83 School Year cont'd Mrs. Hermes also spoke to the six-week timeline for testing; that if the program was approved, she wanted to be sure that the kids were tested in the time provided even if it required more manpower to get it done. Dr. Houston stated that she had a very, very good staff and they had told her that the testing could be done in the specified time and she believed them.
Further questioning was done by Mrs. Hermes with regard to ESL children with Oriental languages, and Dr. Houston explained that they had attempted to address that concern in that they would have aides and teachers who work with those students, that they would translate the tests and call in that particular staff or staffs from the bilingual programs to assist in the screening of youngsters who spoke Oriental languages. A question was raised by Dr. Hamm about the district receiving any financial aid in administering the test or if they just furnished the material, to which Dr. Houston replied that the Oklahoma Educational Screening Test was the extent of it.
Commetfts by Mr. Long were in regard to doing something constructive about the overcrowded conditions in many of the primary grades in the Oklahoma City system; that he wets not in favor of taking on any new programs that would require a lot ofexpenditures because he thought the money could be better spent on hiring more teachers each year to relieve the overcrowded situation; that they could approve the fine program in kindergarten but the youngsters who moved up would fall on their faces because of the overcrowded conditions of the classrooms in the primary grades; that he thought the scientific approach to any study or any problem was to gain all the information that you could about the problem pro and con, and then after delibera-' tion try to make a decision, and he wondered how many teachers in the district who were not contacted and had an opposite viewpoint than that of the administration. He referred to what he considered as something being stacked, where persons were sought out to make testimonials to support an issue, and if a program was approved and did riot work out, the public cry was directed to the Board. Mr. Long, again, stated that until they could do something about the' overcrowded situation in classrooms for the primary grades he was not going to vote for anything that was going to cost money and, therefore, would be voting no on the motion before the Board.
Ws’.' Darrell raised a question about the legal point of if a parent should object to either the testing or the outcome of the testing, what procedure would be followed, since...kindergarten was not mandatory in the State of Oklahoma? Responding, Dr. Payzant stated that he thought they would work with that kind of situation as they would with anywh-qxfiJLparent came forth and said that they objected to a test or some curriculum materials o'r'’proredure, and if at all possible try to give them an optional approach.
In additional comments, Mrs. Darrell stated that she thought the program had some merit but she had some conce^ps about creative ideas-‘that probably would impact education and she had not seen an~-eyaluation or study that would reflect both sides of the program but only information on-one way.; that she had a concern as to whether a significant number of kindergarten teachers had sufficient input into the program and that she thought perhaps it might be better to ffiove^tdward implementing it a year hence rather than trying to put it in place for T§82-83; that she did have some concerns about the timelines and the orientation.
Dr. Payzant replied that he could not say that any decision made in the district was going to receive the support of one hundred percent of the people affected in it and he thought they would have to be careful not to fall in the trap of thinking that they were going to make decisions by direct democracy; that was not their function as a board nor his as a superintendent, because in direct democracy you did not always have each individual applying the same criteria to evaluating the decision to be made. He added that he saw his responsibility as using representative democracy, committees' involvement of people, suggestions; many which he agreed with and if he did not agree • with them to say so, and then ultimately the Board had to make the decision, applying the criteria that they thought were most important, and hopefully the most important one being what they thought was right for children, and he did not think it would be sensible for any of them to make important decisions about instruction by a survey. Mrs. Darrell stated that she did not mean a survey per se, but she did hear some key ingredients in the program that seemingly were not tied down and maybe if they had a 1ittl e more time they might be able to nail those down.

-Dr. Payzant referred to the Staff Development and^TYaining Plan for 1982-83, a copy of,which had been sent to members of the Board, and stated that it was the result of many, many hours of work df the Staff Development Advisory Committee, and particularly the heads of the subcommittees of the large committee, and the steering committee which was the focal point for pulling everything together and getting decisions made.
Reference was then made by Dr. Payzant to the color coding of the plan and the suggested modifications by him and staff as well as recommendations by the committee. He added that he was impressed with what the committee had been able to do and thought without a doubt that the plan would stand as the finest plan submitted to the State Department of Education; that the State Department had approved a request for an extension on filing the plan until May 19, and the action required by the Board on May 17 would allow hjm to meet the filing deadline of May 19. Dr. Payzant then introduced Ms. Phoebe Revelle, Chairperson, Staff Development Advisory Committee, who gave an overview of the Staff Development Plan that had been submitted to the Board for consideration.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF MAY 3, 1982 - CONT'D
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Ms. Revelle expressed appreciation to Dr. Payzant and Ms. Alice Strong-Davis, Director of Personnel Services, for their general support, and other personnel who were responsible for compilation of the report. She made reference to some of the basic differences of the Staff Development Advisory Committee with the staff responses to the plan; the committee working to be in absolute compliance with requests and guidelines from the State Department, and other.
She called special attention to "Payment of Training Fees to District Personnel", stating that it was the recommendation of the committee that $18.00 per hour be paid to employees of the district who were qualified and willing to present inservice training to the staff, which was accepted; however, they made note of the fact that they had requested preparation time be included in that, with a maximum of two hours preparation time to be considered as applicable for fees in that area.
As another recommendation of the committee, she stated that with respect to the curriculum consultants, it was recommended that they use the talents and services of the district's consultants in assisting. Members of the Board were invited to attend the teacher training complexes.
Reference was then made by Ms. Revelle to the minimal requirement of staff development points by the State Department and the law, the requirement of 15 points per year and 75 points for five years; that she was hopeful that the Board would credit the staff of professional people who were employed in the district with the ability to be able to keep ,«p with their own personal accumulation of the points each year; that having the 15-|¥#int requirement as the minimal per year would be neglecting to recognize the personal needs in a system as large aS the Oklahoma City system; that she would submit to the Board that each of those persons would take the 75-poirit accumulation, seriously and did not need the absolute requirement of 15 points per year. She then talked about the Bonus Plan; that their recommendation had to do with recognizing those individuals who on an annual basis would go far beyond that minimal of 15 points, and for that they felt that a person should receive some type of minimal recognition and recommended $50; that it was simply to recognize the fact that they extended that much effort.
In her closing remarks, Ms. Revelle stated that they believed as a committee that the staff development law would be a success if the^-took the district's positive incentives as being truly important, and they as a committee had stressed that. Mr. Jack Nichols, Chairperson, Classified Subcommittee, expressed appreciation that -accepted their report as written and stated that he would be happy to answer "any questions during the two weeks that the Board was considering the report.
As additional remarks, Ms . ■Revelle called attention to the fact that one staff.-development point be given as recognition and appreciation from the district to persons who serve on district -committees, because persons who had- served on committees had told them' that they had gained a great amouiTtof- p-rofessional growth from their experience.

Mr. Donwerth then called on Ms. Jo Bdzjiaw who had requested to speak regarding the Staff Development Plan. Ms. Bazhaw indicated thai^she did not have a copy o'f the report; however, the item relating to the 15 staff development points for each certificated person, she thought that the Board would bg^dfrectly penalizing teachers in the district if they approved’it, because in some fnstances it would require teachers to go to a Saturday workshop, after school or some other time. Reference was also made to the orientation requirement and df extending a person's workday unnecessarily; that with*regard to bonuses or stipends, if the Legislature intended for a person to receive $225 for their staff development points, they should, receive that regardless of other bonus programs. In regard to the area training complexes, Ms. Bazhaw stated that there were a number of teachers who go to workshops and.make materials for themselves to take back to their classrooms, and if that was"acceptable for staff development points, she could not understand why it was not acceptable to go and get points for training complex work. Mention was made, again, by Ms. Bazhaw that she had not seen a copy,of the report; that no members of their Union (UTP) were on the committee and they did not have access to the reports. Mr. Donwerth stated that action would be taken on the Staff Development and Training plan for 1983-83 at the May 17 meeting.

Mrs. Hermes stated that they were losing money and she was not sure that they should be addressing themeselves to preschool children. She then asked Dr. Payzant to to give the Board some thoughts on the preschool/daycare programs.
-
In responding, Dr. Payzant referred to the reports that had been provided to members of the Board which showed the existing rates of tuition that would allow them to break even in their operational expenses into another year; that with respect to the expenditure items, one item of expenditure that had not been included and prorated ^specifically covered the initiiaT building modifications that were made at the time that the programs were started; also, that there was an item on the income side that had never been carried in the financial analysis , which was the reimbursement that the district gets g -it -salaries of aides and teachers working in those programs; that he did not want to' suggest without the data before him that the two expenditures on the one hand and the receipts on^the other would offset each other, but that they were two factors that had neyerj>een b'u'i'Tt-i-nto the financial report. He added that it was not information that he*was trying to withhold from them but it had just never been added pn -tlxe financial statement, and their estimate was, based on what they could see happening with the enrollment projection, that the increases recommended would handle the operating expenses..
Speaking to whether they should be in\the preschool business, Dr. Payzant stated that was a more complex question; that certainly if he-were asked in terms of where the top priorities were, he would definitely.s€y‘they ^pe^K-12, but if he were asked if he thought preschool education was important, he wouldsay absolutely; that there was a strong debate always about what point children should be involved in any kind of formal education. Dr. Payzant further stated that there was the other issue of community service anclwtarethe responsibility lies for providing a community service; that it seemed to him they could approach it from at least two standpoints; one which might result in criticism, that it comes more from vested interest, namely, the children of a number of their employees were enrolled in the preschool center, which could be viewed as a service to employees, a plus, for some and a minus for others; that it was interesting to see how many places in the private sector? were getting into that kind of service for employees because of the need to compete to get employees who required daycare services. He added that the other side of the coin was providing a service for community people and, historically, as he understood it, at least in the case of West Nichols,.Hills was to try to generate additional enrollment in the regular elementary school, the thought being that the children would start in the preschool program and stay on in kindergarten and in first, second, third and fourth grades. Dr. Payzant stated that since the time he had been with the district his position had been that he was comfortable in recommending the continuation of the two daycare centers as long as they could continue: them without dipping into school district funds to subsidize them, and that he had been very cautious about expansion of preschool

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT centers because of the amount of money it cost up front to do the kinds of building modifications necessary to meet the licensing and certification requirements to pass muster with all of the various agencies who required them to pass muster.
Dr. Hamm commented that as he read the report and the deficit of the two centers, it was something like $22,000, after which Dr. Payzant commented that that amount would be considerablyless by June 30, particularly in the case of Edwards where the bulk of that deficit showed up at the end of February because of the increase in enrollment had occurred the second part of the year and what that would do in terms of income’ through March, April, May and June; that it was going to be substantially reduced by June 30. Dr. Hamm added that he recalled addressing the same thing last year, that they would not break even and would go in the hole, so they increased the tuition last year so they would not be in that position this year; that speaking to priorities, what if they had a program they wanted to start up, K-12, like a soccer program in a high school? Dr. Payzant's response was that if they could not make the preschool/daycare programs break even, he would have no choice; unless it was a frivolous program being suggested for K-12, to do anything but give the K-12 program the first priority; that’if the program could break even or come very close to breaking even he would not recommend abandoning it. He also stated that there might be other issues that would affect the program that could not be forecast that evening such as decisions they might make on school closures, and the only reason he was bringing it to them at that time was his assumption that there was going to be a summer program and unless they decided to cancel the program altogether, there had to be some fair warning to the people who were involvet^M a month's notice before a tuition increase was put on, and if they could not bring it'in pretty close to breaking even, to go with anything but a frivolous K-12 program as top priority. He added that if they could bring it in close to balance, like within a leeway of several thousand dollars, he would think in terms of the service that was provided for the numbers of children there that it was worth continuing.
Dr. Hamm stated that before they would make any decision not to continue it, he hoped they would rather take a. look at all of its assets as well as its financial negative because they may want to keep it. In additional comments, Dr. Payzant stated that he was not aware of until that day that they were getting reimbursement on the staff positions and not crediting the programs for that on the income side; that his guess was'H-hat he had not had time to pull those data together, and if he did that alone it would wipe out the deficit immediately, but it would not speak to the other issue of prorating the start-up cost which they had never really done in terms of the modifications in the building which he thought was -s-omewhere~near $20,000 or $25,000 that they had put in; that he was not sure but would "have to check it for each of the facilities where the programs were set up.
Mrs . Hill'commented that-she thought they probably did put in about that muchjwney and her concern was that they were told when the programs were set up that they would prorate if over a-five-year period and that money would be reimbursed back to the General Fund, and every year they ha.d Tbst~money~and had come with a fee increase and itd'idnot look like it nearly compared to what some of the others, were that were listed and she did not/feel^. that they were going to break even. She also stated that as she looked at West Nichols Hills particularly, that she had not checked Edwards that closely it was put there to help the school, grow; that the attendance had not grown at that school and she did not believe th by -byen supported the millage the last time around, so she really had some concern’s with itTr^She add^d that she would have much rather gone with the Early Prevention of School Failure Program-far kindergarten than put money into the Preschool/Daycare Program. .
Substitute Motion
Mrs. Hill continued by making a substitute motion which was seconded by Mrs. Hermes that they discontinue their preschool/daycare programs as of June 1, 1982. Mrs. Darrell stated that she was curious as to whether they had any best estimates of why they felt that the enrollment did not materialize and was wondering if it was the fees, not sufficient kids in the area, or what kinds of things they thought accounted for the enrolIThent not reaching the target.
r
Dr, Payzant explained that they would have to look at West Nichols Hills and Edwards differently because the Rationale for starting the program at each site was different; that as he understood it the rationale for putting the one at West Nichols Hills was to generate additional elementary school enrollment and he thought if they looked at the enrollment in the preschool there, there were a number of people from outside the immediate neighborhood that had children in that presctiool program, so when their children were ready for kindergarten and elementary school they would go to other schools not necessarily in the district and in some instances other public schools withir the district; that at Edwards the motivation was different, it was to provide a preschool program in that section of the city more as a service to the community, and

it was sluggish in getting started because initially they did not have the licensing that made them eligible for Title XX funds to go to parents who needed that tuition Assistance to send their children to that program, and once they got the clearance and qualified for the licensing and the Title XX funds, the enrollment really picked up, and at the second half of the year it was not at 70, the maximum, but 65.
Another question was raised by Mrs. Darrell on how did Edwards get selected, because she was curious since Edwards was located in a high percentage of retirement population and she had a concern about where the kindergarten and preschoolers came from, and wondered if that had any impact on it.
Dr. Payzant, Mrs. Hill and Dr. Hamm responded that it was a combination of availability of space and location at 10th and Interstate and they’thought it would be accessible to people to get to; that they had hoped to attract working people to drop their children off there on their way to work, and they had the space which would cost less to renovate that school than some others named.
Mrs..-Darrell further questioned if they knew whether or not their fees were comparable just on preschool with other preschools in the area, at which time Dr. Payzant stated that they did a sampling of several other programs and what their rates were, and the proposed increases would still put them in a competitive position with similar kinds of programs. In response to Mrs. Darrell's inquiry as to how long the program had been in place, Dr. payzant replied that for West Nichols Hills it had been four years and Edwards two yea^; In discussion whether to vote on each site separately, Mrs. Hill stated that as maker of the motion it did not make her any difference; as seconder of the motion, Mrs. Hermep stated that she would rather vote on them together because it would look as if they were singling out some schools if they voted on them separately, that either they believed in the program or they did not believe in the program and it didn't make any difference where they were located. She added that Dr. Payzant had mentioned the need to provide community service and she agreed with that but she thought they had provided community service and the dollar amount for each child was quite a few dollars lower than competing preschools and they did not have a waiting list, and most preschools that she knew about had long waiting lists, sometimes a year or year and a hald and she thought they should draw the line and say it was nice to be of service to the community but perhaps it was a step beyond their scope.
Mr. Donwerth asked for the roll call on the substitute motion to eliminate the ^preschool/daycare programs at Edwards and West Nichols Hills, which was as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. .|4amm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.
Commenting further regarding the preschool/daycare programs, Mrs. Darrel Instated that she did not really have a handle on the rationale earlier and the rationale as to why the programs were sT:&Yted in the fjrst ^Ta-ceJls.turbed her; that she really hated to deal with a half of bar of cahdjrwhich was what that essentially said to her and, again, they were always starting a program and then would have to pull back; that she thought they needed to deal with a deeper kind of concern in the future when they did those kinds of programs and 4gal with the merits of t.he program and be able to stay with them a bit longer; that tt/eoncerned her that they had one four years and the other two years; that they had not"’a-m&rtized.. it or gotten the depreciation benefit of the money spent in repairing the building whidh was really where the big cost was. She also stated that they needed to deal ws’-tTVthe ^uQS^ion of Where they were really going to get the benefit from their money because-foLcut the program out at that point meant they were really losing money; that they were losing more than it was costing-to subsidize the programs based on the amount of money they put in the programs, because if^they viewed it like that it was not economically wise to stop the programs. After Dr. Hamm commented that they would not lose all of it, Mrs. Darrell added that perhaps not but they were going to have to look at that a lot closer where they start programs that required a large expenditure because they had not gotten the depreciation value of the expenditure. Commenting further, Dr. Hamm stated that he would agree; that he was not on the Board when West Nichols Hills was started but for Edwards he thought the rationale was good and sound and it was'a noble experiment, and it was hoped that they would be able to expand it into some other areas of the city but it just had not proven to be the case.
As a final comment, Mrs. Darrell stated that she tsrould agree with Dr. Hamm but basically she did not believe they should be in the preschool business fundamentally but understood that it was just in terms of making an experiment.

Speaking, with respect to the Athletic Committee Report, Dr. Payzant stated that the Ad Hoc Athletic Commit.tee -did deal with a number of topics related to the athletic program in the school'district; that there were two categories of recommendations, one group relating to policy matters and those addressed in his recommendations; that there were some other recommendations that--reTated to specific suggestions on rates of pay for coaches and.sponsors otextracurricular activites which were matters for collective bargaining and should be addressed by the Board at the time it would give its negotiating team directions. Referring to information contained in his recommendations for consideration on May 17, Dr. Payzantstated that in essence he concurred with recommendations 1 thick 4 and differed with the committee with regard to defining the role of the athletic director and whether that person should serve either as a head coach in addition to athletic dfV'ector or as assistant coach of one or more sports in addition to athletic director?;; ...He stated that at Mrs. Hill's request he had also provided board members with a copy?pf the position description of the athletic director and a memo to the principals regarding the responsibility of athletic directors which was distributed in September of 1981, and that since it was a committee report and recommendations, he was not asking the Board to take action on it that evening but at their May 17 meeting.
Mrs. Hill stated that her concern was if the report had been shared with the athletic directors in the schools and it came as a big shock to the athletic directors that afternoon to learn that they might have to make a choice, and she did not think they were particularly pleased; that she had visited with several of them and they were meeting that afternoon and she did not know if she really agreed with what they were suggesting as an alternative but thought the Board needed to look at it and maybe come up with a suggestion, because as she looked at the report, she saw a lot of athletic directors or coachbs of*a major sport, which was why she had asked what the duties of the athletic directors were. She added that there was one athletic director on the committee and his comment to her was he was not representing the athletic directors but was only representing hiimself, which was a bit disturbing to her because at that point she did not feel that the athletic directors had a voice on that committee. Mrs. Hill also stated that they were asking that the athletic directors be grandfathered in and she did see some problems with that; that they thought there was another way

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
Consideration of than what was in the recommendation, and she was asking that the Board check with the Athl etic ^schools to get a better handle on the situation; that she was assuming that they were Recommendations, talking about a higher paying position and they were not paying a very large salary 1982-83,for Action for the athletic director and she thought she needed the answer. She added that May 17, 1982 some of the coaches hlad said to her that they would rather have sports moved back to Meeting cont'd the sixth hour and she needed to know how many students it would affect because she had mentioned the time block going to the Science Center or Vo-Tech; so to make a decision she would have to know how many students were involved, and she was having a problem with the recommendation as it was. In response, Dr. Payzant stated that he thought of the things that they would have to do would be to look at the issue from the standpoint of the position and the responsibilities in it rather than the individuals and personnel that may be serving in that position, which was sometimes very difficult to do; that the reason he and his staff had disagreed with the committee recommendation was that they thought there was a potential for two things to happen; one that the responsibilities of the athletic director as set forth in the position description would not be carried out because the conflict of time was just too great given a head coaching position in a major sport or evenn an assistant coaching position in several, and secondly, they thought there was a real problem if you had a person with the athletic director hat on who was sometimes serving as an assistant coach and who was supposed to be taking direction from a head coach who was supposed to be taking direction fron an athletic director, which really would present problems of conflict; that it was really on that basis that they were suggesting that the athletic director's position if^t was to function as outlined in the job description should be a person separate and apart from a head of assistant coach, and if the responsibilities were carried out, they thought that with it should go a substantial stipend for that extra duty responsibility and that it ought to be altered. He added that, however, it was a matter that could not be decided unilaterally by the Board and would have to be decided at the bargaining table in terms of compensation.
*
At the request of Dr. Payzant, Ms. Betty Mason, Director of High Schools, responded by stating”that about the athletic directors and their involvement, they had worked on the recommendations a long time and every time a piece of work was completed, it was shared with the athletic directors and the principals; that they went to the principals and discussed the recommendation that came from the committee as well as their posture; that it needed to be known further that while they had discussions with principals and athletic directors, both she and Gary Cruzen had had phone calls and office visits from almost every major sports coach in the district expressing their concerns, and there were as many coaches in the district who felt that the athletic director and coach combination was not as effective as there were athletic directors who thought that they were, so when they came to that they felt that they had to look seriously at what they were asking the athletic director to do and then deaF-with it on,_tMt«»basis. Ms. Mason referred to the memo of September 14, 1981 as mentioned previously and stated that if they would review ft they-would see that it was made clear what the responsibility was of the athTetic director, and consequently they had many criticisms this year from coaches saying that they were not meeting with them; they were busy with their sports and couldn't do the job, so the committee had to give those things consideration. She also stated that technically al], athletic director positions would end on May 27 based on the negotiated agreement and they had been notified by the Personnel Office that according fo-that instrument they would have to reapply'for those positions; that it was a year-to-year^ontfea£t_that they were working with and for that reason when mention was mad^abbut grandfathering it in, technically they really would not have anyone to grandfather i'ff. After Mrs. Darrell asked"Ms. Mason if cheerleaders were considered a part of the athletic program arid she replied not really, Mrs. Darrell stated that the reason she had asked that question was because sometimes, it seemed that they were and sometimes they were not and she would like to see them clarify it because she thought cheerleading was one of the most expensive atletic-related acitivites going on in the district and all of their cost seemed to be borne by the students and it was having an adverse effect on the number of students that were able to participate in cheerleading to support the athletic events; that if they were going to do an in-depth review of athletics, she would 1 ike ftto- be included either in athletics or in another category of activities.
Ms. Mason stated th“at she would be glad to do that; that with regard to the report, they did review all of the areas and looked seriously at the financial implications. With respect to extra pay for coaches, Mrs. Brody inquired as to playoff games, for example, would they give extra money to the cheerleading sponsor, band director and the teachers who were booster club sponsors?

MINUTES OF MEETING OF MAY 3,1982 - CONT'D
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Ms. Mason replied that her question hinged on the question raised by Mrs. Darrell; that they could not address that but would be happy to do so under another setting.
Mrs. Darrell further commented that athletics happened to be quite popular but she thought they would have to be very careful to see that they were not fostering a situation of despair treatment. Dr. Payzant stated that the reason basketball and football were mentioned was that as he understood it they were the only two sports where the playoff came outside! the regular season as established for the coaching assignment.
Ms. Mason also indicated that they looked at what the Secondary Schools Activities Association set forth as a calendar for a particular event; that the cheerleaders and band were looked on as being a year-round actfuTties WiithTri the Activities. Association's calendar and when they were talking about extra-duty pay they were looking at a scale for paying coaches for sports and would be paying them only if they went into the playoffs. Mrs. Hill commented that if they were referring to bands following the teams to State, the Activities Association did not allow bands to go to State and perform in any df the area regional games and even mascots were not allowed on the floor. In addressing himself to improvement of the qualify of, say, the football program, Dr. Hamm cfeked if the head coach of either basketball or football would have a voice in who his assistants might be so that his philosophy, game plan, plays and method of trainingsTnight be instilled with help of the assistant coach? In response, Ms. Mason stated that aspect was included in the job description of the head coaches to be sure it did happen.
After Dr. Hamm additionally commented that there were coaches in other districts who would jump at the chance to coach in the district if they had such assurance, Ms. Mason said that one coach said, that presently happened in his school and the others felt it would improve things greatly if they had it, and they would be pleased to share the information with the Board when the job descriptions were completed. Dr. Hamm noted that athletic trainers did not |iave any financial impact on the budget and he appreciated all of the information that wa-s-provided and that it was very revealing that schools were encouraged to seek volunteers from the community, doctors and paraprofessionals, to work with them in the various sports, and to him it would creaste some liaison with the community and would accomplish a two-fold purpose.
*Dr. Payzant stated that in response to one other comment that Mrs. Hill had brought up, he thought it was important to set the record straight and that he should assume the responsibility where i t was his; that there had been some confusion about who.,stfould take the responsibility for moving sports out of the sixth time block and it had been suggested that the. Union did it, which was not the way he recalled it at all; that he recommended that sports be put ouXsi^e'Tlre~regti-lar school day and not be included in the sixth time block for academic reasons because he felt very strongly that the academic purposj^of^he school district had to be first and if sports were put back into the sixth time block, it would deny some students the opportunity to have a full academic schedule. As a final comment, he added that one, should not be put off on the Union and he would take the responsibility for it all the way.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
Consideration of Graduation Requi rements for Action at May 17, 1982 Meeting
The Superintendent submitted the following recommendation for action at the May 17, ^1982 meeting of the Board:
Consideration of an Ad Hoc Committee Report "Graduation Requirements" and approval of the recommendations as concurred with or amended by the Superintendent's Staff as follows: Effective 1982-83 for Class of 1986 (1982-83 Ninth Grade Students) 1„
that forty credits be required for graduation;
2.
that included inthe forty credits, credits be required in either math, foreign language;
3.
that in the ninth grade, twelve credits be counted toward graduation instead of the eleven presently being counted;
4.
that students who qualify Language (ESL) or reading those courses in addition English prescribed by the
<
two additional science, or
for English as a Second will be required to take to the eight credits of State;
* Effective 1982-83 for Classes of 1985 and 1986 (Effective 1982-83 Ninth Grade and Tenth Grade Students) Effective 1983-84 For All Students Grades 9-12 5.
that freshmen and sophomores be enrolled in a mini-mum of six credit classes during the school day (timeblocks 1-6); juniors, a minimum of five credit classes, and seniors, a minimum of four credit c1 asses;
6.
that no more than four credits in Student Council be counted toward graduation;.
Effective
1982-83 For All
Students Grades 9-12
7.
that students not be permitted to take more than one required English course per semester unless for the purpose of making up a failed required English class;
8.
that all students who qualify for English as a Second Language (E§L)^&r jreading will be required to also take an EnglisJycourse’5Sbeg^nning in the 1982-83 school year; and No Change From Current Practice
9.
that competitive ath^tics may be substituted for physical education witli Trot than six credits in competitive athletics and physi-ca_L_education (combined) to be counted tow^'d- graxl_u,ation.
With reference to the item for consideration, Dr. Payzant stated that he had tried to organize the recommendations in such a fashion that they would be able to see the impact on students for next year or the years'beyond; that the first four recommendations would affect the Class of 1986 which would be next year's entering ninth grade students, namely, an increase from 38 to 40 credits that included two additional credits be- required in either Math, Science or Foreign' Language; that in the ninth grade they could count all twelve credits toward graduation rather than eleven under the current system, and students who qualified for English as a Second Language or Reading would be required to take those courses in addition to eight credits of English prescribed fry the State; that they would no longer be able to substitute their Reading class or their English as a Second Language class for English; they would have to do both. Going to the next recommendation, Dr. Payzant stated that it would be effective for 1982-83 for the freshmen and sophomores, and for 1983-84 it would affect all students, grades nine through twelve, namely, that freshmen and sophomores would take a minimum fo six credit classes during the school day, time blocks one through six, juniors a minimum of five and seniors a minimum of four, and that no more than four credits in Student Council could be counted toward graduation; that for all students next year, that students not be permitted to take more than one required English course per

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT semester; in other words, they could not take English III and IV in one semester, or English II and III unless they had previously failed the course in one and had to pick it up.
Dr. Payzant continued’stating that beginning next year, students would be required to take an English class in addition to ESL or Reading, and they would not be able to substitute their ESL or Reading for the regular English class; that although the committee recommended a change in the number of credits to be allowed for physical education and athletics from six to four, he and the staff had recommended that it not be changed and be left at six. He added that the overall rationale was to toughen the graduation requirements and to speak to their responsibility of trying to put a little more academic rigor into the high school program, which was the spirit in which the recommendations were offered; that they would note that there was agreement with the committee recommendations except on the matter of the credit for athletics and the substituting of English as a Second Language or Reading for English, and he thought those who were in Reading programs or ESL programs, all students needed more not less instruction in English. Mrs. Hill commented that basically she, too, thought they .needed to stress academics and improve that in the Oklahoma City system but she had a concern regarding in the ninth grade, twelve credits would be counted toward graduation instead of eleven, which was very easy for them to say that is was just one more credit, but her question was how many students would come into the ninth grade that were currently failing English and Social Studies; that she had seen figures at one school and it was shocking to see the riumber that were failing in Social Studies because they could not read the book th#t‘ had been given to them; that they were still reading on an elementary grade level; so she was wondering what the effect would be on those students who were never going to graduate? As an explanation, Dr. Payzant replied that the State would allow a ninth grader to count eleven of the twelve credits in the ninth grade year towards graduation; if they should go to 40, the State would allow them to count all twelve in their freshman year.
Additionally, Mrs. Hill indicated that she liked the recommendation where students would be required to take so many subjects a day; freshmen and sophomores have to take six; juniors five and seniors four; that she thought it was very good and would probably push the accelerated students. Dr. Payzant further stated that he thought they ought not to be graduating students with diplomas that did not mean anything or meant less than what they wanted them to ■mean; that the other side of the coin was. that they had to do a better job of helping that student get ready for high school so that when the student was in the ninth and tenth grade they would indeed be ready to handle the ninth and tenth grade course rquirement; that another issue the staff was addressing, which they would have" recommendations for the Board later in the summer for implementation to take effect in 1983-84 if they would approve tough@mng*.J^Le__retention requirements, at the same time they would build in programs to deal with students who were retained beginning in the early elementa.ry years right through fifth year center and middle school, to in the long term address exactly what they were saying; that more work needed to be done on it but they hoped to have somethingfor consideration by August to be considered for next spring and to take effect in49§J-84.
A concern was expressed by Mrs. Hill that'she thdtfght the increased credits, etc., might increase the dropout rate and she certainly-didThot'^ant it to come back and haunt them; that she would like to get the dropout figures for the ninth and tenth grade students, and those that failed the first semester of the current year. It was noted by Ms.. Masorr- that she had looked at figures in relation to students failing and it was something like 15 percent of the ninth and tenth graders that were failing in the areas of English and Social Studies, and while they were working on the report, she visited one of the high schools and listened to several teachers and counselors talk about their concerns about the graduation requirements; that they met with principals and talked about it at length; she met with the high school counselors and they discussed-it; that interestingly the principals took the position that they felt that the district was far behind and should be demanding more of students and they would hot like to set graduation requirements in the district toward the 15 percent but they would rather set it up toward the 85 percent, and suggested that they move ahead with the recommendation and do everything that they could to support the youngsters. Ms. Mason stated further that she had met with Dr. Houston and her staff along with Social Studies teachers talking about the concern for ninth graders not making it in the Social Studies program; that Dr. Houston had on her agenda for the summer to do learning kits to support the high school teacher in the teaching of Social Studies which was what they said would be helpful to them and they had already begun to pull them together; that it was recognized that support was needed and they were trying to come by ways of doing that for the youngster who was having difficulty but at the same time require more excellency of/students; that they also needed a

requirement in the area of Foreign Language for graduation especially for those youngsters who were thinking in terms of going to college because all of their literature told them that it was going to be the way of the land very soon. Ms. Mason indicated that she would share the information referred to earlier about those students failing and the dropout rate with members of the Board. Dr. Hamm commented that he thought the recommended"graduation requirements was certainly a step in the right direction because all of the books that you read about urban areas where they had excellent high schools, the key ingredient or common denominator in all of them was those that excel', were the ones where excellency was expected of the students from the principal (fight on down through the ranks.
Mrs. Darrell stated that she, too, had some concerns about the ninth grade; however, if they had some plans to back it up, she would be a lot more comfortable with it. With regard to the additional credits to be required ikeither Math or Foreign Language, and Science, she expressed a concern as to whether or not they 'felt that the resources would be sufficiently available in the area to support that because they were constantly hearing that there was a shortage in Math, Science and Foreign Language teachers; in | other words, it would be required and more students would have to take more of those subjects. i
Responding, Dr. Payzant replied that it could have an impact in Math, and as soon as th^y saw how students would respond and at what point they elected to take the additional credits, in either Math or Science, he could answer more clearly; that Foreign Language .would not be a problem because the numbers were so low, and hopefully the recommended requirements would boost some of the Foreign Language classes and make it easier to offer a broader program.

Mr. Donwerth relinquished the Chair to Mrs. Hill and submitted the following Statement and Resolution:
The Board of Education acted on November 17, 1981 to build a new elementary
school building within the attendance areas of Willard and Eugene Field
Schools with the understanding that two existing buildings, Willard and Eugene Field, would be closed when the new building is ready to be occupied. ZBE IT RESOLVED,
1.
That the Board of Education is agreeable and anxious to continue with its
November 17, 1981 decisions, provided that the citizens and patrons who reside in and represent the community, actively and aggressively work
<
to inform the Oklahoma City Board of Park Commissioners and the City Council of Oklahoma City that the citizens and patrons want the
Board of Education to proceed with plans to construct a new elementary
school at the McKinley Park site. 2.
That in the absence of such support from citizens and patrons, the Board of Education will proceed to cancel its original plan and consider
adopting a new plan which would reassign students from the Willard and Eugene Field attendance areas to schools in the district with excess
capacity and use the funds now allocated for the new elementary school to construct a new facility for theprogram presently housed in the Carver Building.
, . Xhe Tesol ution was seconded by Dr. Hamm. In speaking to the resolution, Mr. Donwerth stated that he thought it was time that they"’stopped 1 etting.o, half-dozen people in the City of Oklahoma City or in^any particular, area dictate to the citizenry and the patrons and the communi-t^the way things ought to be; that he thought the community should see that it was high time that they get ‘to work and try to defnan4,what they want from the school district.
There being no objection to voting on the resolution at that meeting, on roll call the votes Were £s follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mr. ,Do'riwerth, yes; Mrs. Darnell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes;, and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the resolution' ea^e-ied. Inquiry Mrs. Darrell
In response to the Food Service personnel qi^stions-that had been presented to the Board during the hearings, Mrs. Darrell aspect-if thg^BSard would deal with it at budget time concerning utility costs arid that sort'''of thing, because she stated that she was concerned about that and she could see that they were eating the deficit up out of the reserve funds and she was wondering if there was some way to work out a more feasible arrangement. Dr. Payzant replied that he had asked Mr. Darrel Shepard to prepare some ififorroaLt’ton .arid some recommendations that could be considered as the budget for the General Fund was deliberated for 1982-83, so that the Board would have an opportunity to address it in that context; that ultimately they would have to decide whether they would want to allocate more General Fund money for that fund and not allocate it for something else.
Mrs. Darrell mentioned that she had talked with Mr. Shepard and was told that he was still working on the feasibility study for the janitorial services, to which Dr. Payzant responded that he had seen the report that day and would have it in their packet of materials on Friday.

Roland Ross Lawsuit The lawsuit brought by Mr. Roland Ross against the district concerning his termination as a teacher, we have filed today in federal court a motion for judgment on the pleadings and a motion to dismiss in response to his recently filed amended petition.
Mrs. Hill commented that the Board had received a copy of some revised bylaws for the Urbag.’Boards of Education and they were supposed to have been voted at the nationaljneeting but they could not quite get the two-thirds majority so they were sent badfe to the boards. She indicated that the main change in the bylaws was that to be a member of Urban Boards you would have to be a direct affiliate; that the Oklahoma City Board of Education was currently a direct affiliate and do pay dues to be a member of that, the dues portion'would be cut out and all they would have to pay would be the direct affiliate membership, which would be a savings for the Board. Stating that the Urban Boards of Education would like-to have a decision back during the month of May, Mrs. Hill moved that the Board approve the revised version of the bylaws for the Urban Boards of Education and inform them of their action.

Cheryl Bullard
Statement of Grievance: "The Director of Middle Schools made a decision involving an administratively initiated transfer contractually left to the immediate supervisor." Provistion of Agreement Violated:
"Article VI, Section 5, Paragraph K."
Relief Sought: "Immediate supervisor be allowed to freely consider all qualified p,er&QEifte.l-for transfer. " As an opening statement, Mr. Bowers stated: We intend to prove that the contract was Opening Statement violated by the Di rector of Middle Schools in a number of areas. The grieved-s^ction - Mr. Bowers of the contract basically deals:with two areas, that the immediate supervisor in administrative transfers will considerjhe^rogram’needs of the's’chool and that properly certified volunteers will be transferred first.Weintend to show that the immediate supervisor did not make this decision, that the needs of the school were not considered, and that all profrerTy certified volunteers were not considered in this area as the result of the decision being made by the Director of Middle Schools. Mr. Savage's opening statement was as 'fo-llows: The respondent alleges that the contract has not been violated, that the iTrector^bf Middle Schools was acting within his administrative authority as Director of MWdTb S.chooi^»to instruct the principal of Jefferson School where a program was going to be cutback because of the lack of enrollment and thereby a reduction in staff would be necessary by the loss of one-half of an EH teacher, and the contract was not violated in that sense.
Opening Statement - Mr. Savage
Ms. Bullard responded to comments and questions related to if she were at one time a Testimony full-time teacher in the Special Education Department at Jefferson Middle School; her Ms. Bullard current assignment; at the time she was transferred how she was informed that there was a possibility that she would be transferred; did she ask if the other five teachers would be allowed to volunteer; at the time that she was transferred, was there a waiting list of students to refer to the program; if she had an exact figure of the number of students involved in the EH program at that time; when was she first notified by Ms. Dodson that a reduction frrstaff would occur; was she informed that Ms. Dodson had been notified by Mr. Moore that there would be a loss of one-half of an EH teacher; and other. Mr. Moore gave testimony by responding to questions with regard to the phone conversation he had with Ms. Dodson and the exact date of that' conversation; the circumstances that prompted the phone call; in what terms he was notified of the reduction in staff at Jefferson; if he had any knowledge of the qualifications of the various faculty members at Jefferson; what his exact words were to Ms. Dodson when he told her she would have to lose one-half a teacher; what criteria the transfer was based on; did Ms. Dodson or did she not ask him if she should consider the other members of the Special Education Department; did Ms. Dodson ask him if she could be allowed to let the other teachers volunteer for the transfer; how were staff allocations determined

LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING restimony 1r. Moore cont1 d
in middle schools; who had the responsibility of determining the staff for the middle schools; as Director of Middle Schools did he have that responsibility except for Special Education; if he was notified by the Special Services Department in the case of Special Education allocations; if he was notified by them at the beginning of school based on projected enrollment and a certain formula used to determine the number of teachers; when an adjustment was necessary either in the Special Education area or in the other areas in a school, was it determined based on an enrollment at a specific time; was it at that time that the Special Services Department notified him of what the proper allocation should be in the area that they were concerned with; had there ever been a case since he was Director of Middle Schools where principals would just determine themselves whether there would be a staff reduction or a staff addition or what number of staffs or what the program would be at a school; if he was charged with the responsibility of determining what programs and the like in terms of staffing; did he notify Ms. Dodson by telephone that a reduction in staff of one-half a teacher in the Special Education area would be made; and other.
restimony ^lr. Johnson
In his testimony, Mr. Johnson responded to inquiries that Mr. Moore had testified that as Director of Special Services it was his responsibility to determine allocations of teachers in that area for the various schools and if it was correct; did he ever contact a principal of a school about going through the director and talking to the principals directly to notify them that a staff reduction was going to be necessary; if it was his responsibility in the allocation of teachers in the^special services area,: strictly; to notify the directors of the allocation of Jeachers based on enrollment; if adjustments were made if the enrollment did not meÂŁt the projected enrollment on which the previous allocations were made; if all he did was notify thehvarious directors of what changes needed to be made basically on the number of teachers; what was his understanding of what they did with that recommendation; were they to just pass the information on; and other.
Closing Statement - Mr. Bowers
Mr. Bowers remarked as follows in his closing statement: The grieved section of the contract says that the immediate supervisor will consider the needs of the school and determine the grade level and/or the department where the reduction in staff can best be made. Our contention is not that Mr. Moore acted in error in informing her (Ms. Dodson) that a transfer needed to be made. Our contention is that Mr. Moore acted in error when he directed, and these are the words that have been used in five previous hearings concerning this particular transfer, "that Mr. Moore directed her as to which teachers could be considered and which teachers could not be considered." I have a quote here and we can check the minutes of the last Level III hearing on this matter, if you wish, "I was directed to choose only ^between the two teachers teaching EH." When asked in the meeting if the other teachers were to be allowed to volunteer for this position, she responded "Mr. Moore said it must-be one of the two EH teachers." Mr. Moore was quite correct in informing the immediate supervisor'of the fact that a transfer needed to be made; that i's part of his job and we recognize that; however, when he was asked a question, he did not say I suggest, I advise, if I were you> Jj^.oul^d do this or that; he said no, consider only these people. The contract- is quite~specific; the last sentence in Section K says properly certified volunteers will be transferred first if the transfer will not adversely-affect the racial balance. There were five other properly certified people in that building that were not considered for this transfer. Also, as has previously been testified to^ft^five other hearings^ neither Mr. Moore nor Ms. Dodson at the time of this phone conversation ..knew anything about the various qualifications of the staff members, about the exact-enroTTment.in the EH or LD programs in the school, or even about the existence of a^atting^TTst, or placement or referral. So we contend that the immediate supervisor ial J^frdicapped in this matter by being directed, being limited and not being allowed to consider a number of options that she might have considered, among which could have been the calling for volunteers of the other certified people in the building. When a supervisor says no; when a director says no this is not advice; this is a directive, and Mr. Moore and Ms. Dodson have both testifed that this is exactly what he did say when he was asked whether or not she should or could allow the other people to volunteer or if she should or could consider other people for this transfer. She was told no. That is not advice. That is not passing along information. And this has been stated by Mr. Moore, and by Mr. Johnson that Mr. Moore's position here is quite clear, that he is to pass this information along. The contract is quite clear about who makes the decision where the staff reduction should be made. The decision about that staff reduction was not made by the immediate supervisor. She had almost no options'left , after she was giverrthe directive by the Director of Middle Schools. Although the matter of the transfer has been dealt with in previous hearings and although we don't like the way that turned out, what we are asking here is that for the sake of procedure in the future that this transfer be remanded and that the immediate supervisor be allowed to go back and fully explore all of the options that are available and select a person to be transferred. We realize that it, again, may be Ms. Bullard, but we strongly feel that in the interest of common sense and in the interest of good education, and in the interest of fulfilling the contract, that?

LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING these decisions have to be made by the people in the building who directly deal with the children; not from a remote office that deals with computer printouts and teacherpupil ratios in an abstract sense, and that is our recommendation to you tonight.
Closing Statement - Mr. Bowers cont'd
Mr. Savage's closing statement was as follows: The respondent feels like the Director of Middle Schools acted within his authority in notifying the principal of Jefferson Middle School that there would be a reduction in staff and the reduction in staff was to be made in the EH program. The EH program is separate from the LD program. Ms. Dodson, asking for directions from her director if he meant just EH and not the entire Special Education Department, and he affirmed that,yes, he was talking about the EH program which was where the loss in enrollment was as he had been notified by the Special Services Department that would result in one-half of an allocation of an EH teacher. Ms. Dodson did talk with the two teachers and asked for volunteers and when neither one volunteered she selected the one that she felt met the criteria as stated in the negotiated agreement. The testimony by the grievant tonight brought out the fact-'that she was notified by Ms. Dodson back in November that the Director of Middle Schools had informed her that it had to be one of the two EH teachers at that particular school. I raise the question now is this grievance timely filed against the Director of Middle Schools if she was aware back in November that the Director of Middle Schools had instructed the principal to select one of two EH teachers? It seems now that we have waited several months; we are hearing a grievance that is alleging the director violated the contract now when they allegedly found out about it at the Level II hearing that was held on the previous grievance and the grievant testified?tonight that she was told back in November by .the principal that the director'had instructed her to only consider EH teachers. So if they are alleging the contract was violated now, it certainly must have been violated then, arid I question if the grievance is timely filed, and I ask that the grievance be denied.
Closing Statement - Mr. Savage
At the close of the hearing, Mr. Donwerth stated that to make a decision he thought there should be a motion and then it be deliberated on. After entertaining a motion and there not being one, Dr. Hamm stated that he did not feel like he was at a position to.make a motion because he had some things that he wanted to clear up in his mind first.
Mr. Donwerth responded that that was what the -deliberations were for, and he was prepared to make a motion. He relinquished the 'Chair to Mrs. Hill and moved that the'Board find in favor of the grievant and the grievance be upheld. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Brody.
R. #140 Level III Grievance Upheld
<In discussion of the motion, Mr. Donwerth stated that he was a stickler for contracts and had Paragraph K been grieved the last time it could have been considered differently because’ft, very plainly stated that properly certified volunteers would be transferred if the transfer would not adversely affect the racial balance; that althoughtfiere was much discussion on K the last time, the volunteers were not accepted; that they did not grieve: Paragraphs at that time, only^.^dwas__far as he was concerned, he felt the last time that he voted right because L he did"not~feel was violated; that he did feel that K was violated since properly certified volunteers were not even asked for; that he did feel that'th-e-'immediate supervisor had the responsibility to consider volunteers and in light of what had been said that evening, he tended to agree that she should have been allowed to follow the contract, which as stated* earlier she was supposed to make that determination under L. Mr.^Donwerth also stated that he did not agree with one thing Mr. Savage said, that the grievance shSBld have been filed in November, because he did not feel that there was a fact.^nt-il t7ie~acj’ion; that although the people may not have known, she may not have been the orre"w grieve it or the other until the choice was made, and he did not feel that the fact had been established until they.were called in andtold who was to be transferred, but he did believe that properly certified volunteers should have been considered.
Dr. Hamm commented that the information he wanted to gather was that of if a â– teacher was assigned to a school and to a position and not assigned to a department; for instance, if there was a Special Education Department and there were several people that were qualified in several areas, was the teacher assigned to that school from the Personnel Office to a position or did the administrator in that school from a pool assign the teachers to a specific position, after which Mr. Donwerth referred to the contract as includirig the terminology of "properly certified."
Dr. Hamm continued to discuss assignment of a teacher from the standpoint of being put in a high risk area, the risk being that they lose a position and it not being the teacher's choice, and it would not be the teacher's position to pick and choose the classes that they want which would be the building administrator 's position, and his seeing where it could be a gimmick where a building administrator could assign people in risk areas and then later on reduce them in force; that personalities and other factors could enter into it; not just a very cold objective decision.

LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING R. #140 Level III Grievance Upheld cont'd
Mr. Donwerth, again, expressed his concern that they follow the negotiated contract.
With reference to the concern that was raised by Dr. Hamm, Mr. Savage stated that a teacher was selected for a particular position, not for a department; that they would select as in that case an EH teacher or an LD teacher. Mr. Savage also commented that in previous grievances at Level III, where it was determined by a loss of students in, say, the third grade; that was where the reduction of force was made; that the grievances when carried to the Board were ruled by the Board that it should be a third grade teacher although the teachers in an elementary school were certified to teach all grades. He added that in trying to write contract language affecting teachers at various levels, it was rather difficult to get one language that would fit all and it was probably a fault with the way the language was written and it was not clear, but it was the same language that had been in the contract for several years but he thought they would certainly take a look at it in negotiations the current year. Mr. Donwerth further commented that he could not remember Paragraph K having been grieved before, but the language as written said exactly to him what was included in the paragraph.
Discussion continued with regard to the contract language in Paragraph K and its interpretation and the fact that there could have been persons who would have volunteered to transfer had they been afforded that opportunity, and consideration of teachers with dual certification,in making transfers. A ©dYicern was expressed by Mrs. Brody, too, about putting teachers out on a risk, and ■ there being, say, conflict between a teacher and a principal in a building, the possible scenario of that principal seeing a projected enrollment going down in a certain grade and moving that teacher into that grade and in a year or two there having to be a reduction in force and then the teacher would1 have to go; that she thought it interesting that in selecting volunteers at Jefferson they only chose the EH teachers and not the LD teachers for the pool, but as soon as Ms. Bullard was out she was made an LD teacher; that if she could be an LD teacher outside Jefferson, :it was her thought that she could be an LD teacher inside Jefferson. She added that she thought they needed to consider the teacher and not the "luck of the draw." Mr. Long commented that he had made a statement at the previous grievance hearing for Ms. Bullard and wanted to make it again, that a precedent had been established in elementary schools that if there was a vacancy, say, in the third grade and somebody in one of the other grades wanted to volunteer to take that place, they were given the opportunity to do that; in other words, he thought that all of the ^•—•^pecial Education teachers at Jefferson should have been considered and given a chance to volunteer if they wanted to because why would that?be any different from thesame situation in an elementary school where they were given a chance, and if they were going to-do1- it at one place they might as well do it all over the district.
Mrs. Darrell -stated that the wording of the language bothered her; that the problem she saw with it was that sher^HeltFl^t^bhere was one person on the list of all the people that were in that particular department that either had a temporary certificate or..something; that it would seem to her that should be the starting point; that she had a personal problem with asking a temporary to volunteer; that she thought there should be-^another way to get at minusing out one teaching slot, because to her that created pee^group pressure and other kinds of pure conflicts, because who would volunteer for a Tialj-timeslot? She added that maybe in future times that was what they should look at; that if—t4e-re were people holding temporary certification, etc., that those be the fi^st; ofles*Jp^§o if there needed to bea reduction and all other things were equal, and perhaps in'future wording they could come up with something for additional consideration. Discussion was continued with Mr. Donwerth pointing out that Mrs. Darrell's concern would apply more or less to Paragraph L which was grieved before by Ms. Bullard, and not Paragraph K as included in the grievance which was urider consideration, but he thought her point was well taken.
Dr. Hamm commented that he was ready to vote and his vote would be based upon the question lie asked regarding department under Special Education, which did not mean that his vote was goingv to be supportive of other grievances that would be filed on the grade levels. it On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, no; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; Mr. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, no. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried.and the grievance was upheld.
Mr. Donwerth noted that he thought some of the areas as had been discussed needed to be cleaned up in the contract negotiations, either strengthened or taken out, or something; however, he was not getting into contract negotiations, only making a statement.

To begin the discussion, Dr. Hamm asked his fellow board members if after reading the materials that had been requested and given to them they felt that the picture had appreciably changed in their mind from the Superintendent's recommendation several months before on school closings. Mrs. Hill's response was that she did not think it had but currently they were hearing a lot about finances which was probably one of the reasons they were there for that meeting. She continued by stating that she diB^not know what it would cost to keep the schools open but thought they needed to decide what would constitute school closings. mentioned that in light of the information they had received on preschools "she was wondering if the Board might consider changing their decision on closing the preschools.
Reference was made to the Long Range Planning Committee Report and the Locke-WrightFoster Report;-the school buildings that had been listed as needing major remodeling, the establishing of at what point it wotiTchb-ec^me cost effective to replace rather than renovate, and other. Discusstfrn continued with regard to major improvements that had gone into .some..bui 1 dings and those schools that would fall in that category, those that would need�additional rep.air beyond what had been done to bring the standard up to what it should be, condition offacilities that wouldjnake it aesthetically proper for a child to attend school in, enrollment, and other.
At 2:05 p.m. the President of the Board called for a recess until 2:45 p.m. â– V- -
Mr. Donwerth reconvened the meeting at 3:00 p.m. and discussion continued with regard to information before them an^ that of designating certain schools in relation to a given category.

Mrs. Hill inquired about Item 12 , that it appeared they did not take the- low price Dr. Payzant explained that he did check with the Purchasing in some of the instances, Department on the dry cleaning bid and there were four vendors that submitted bids and the bids were low as packaged for Nuway and Eastgate Cleaners; the Purchasing Department felt that if they spread the bid over the three cleaners that the Nuway and Walden Cleaner bid would be broken down and they might lose both because there would not be sufficient business for either one to justify picking up the various items to be dry cleaned at the schools; that they have had that experience in the pastjA/here unless it was a sufficient package the various dry cleaning establishments do not see it as worth their while to take the small amount of business.
With regard to item 5, purchase of galvanized pipe, Mrs. Hermes asked if replacements were done with galvanized pipe as opposed to copper pipe. The reply was that galvanized pipe is replaced with galvanized pipe; that in a number of cases where you replace galvanized pipe with copper you would have to replace all of the system with copper, otherwise it would set up an electrolysis and the copper would eat up the galvanized pipe unless insulated unions were installed.

Dr. Payzant called to the attention of the Board a modification in the graduation requirements as the result of seYeraf teachers at high schools communicating with himuand- his staff after presentation of the rep^t at the last meeting. He stated that a concern had been raised about the impact of requiring students the next year who were enrolled in a reading course, in gra<te 'ni-ne ur.^n, to also take English I and English II until more work had been done to provide!the appropriate English I and English II classes.for those students who were well below grade level, which was the reason- for their being enrolled in the reading courses. He also stated that he and staff had reviewed'"the concerns of the teaching staff and in the recommendation he was suggesting that they wait a year on the requirement that students, ninth and tenth grade, take both reading and a second course in English. Dr. Payzant added that late in summer or early fall he would bring to the Board a recommendation on a stronger retention/promotion policy and it was the staff's intention to address the matter with respect to reading and English for entering high school students in the ninth grade as part of t licit report.
Mps. Darrell inquired about the rationale that students not be permitted to take more than one required English course per semester unless for the purpose of making up a failed required English class? Dr. Payzant responded that the English curriculum, English I, II, III and IV, which was the major sequence for four years of high schoor required English,' each course was a prerequisite for the next higher level course and the teachers and the Curriculum Department felt rather strongly that if they were serious about the prerequisites and one course being of a higher degree of difficulty than the preceding one, that they should take the prerequisite seriously rather than having them double upcn English II and III, or III and IV in one year.

After further inquiry by Mrs. Darrell about who would be doing the monitoring to make sure that a student did not get to the 12 th grade and then have to squeeze in the two English courses, Dr. Payzant replied that it would be the responsibility of the counselors in working with the students on the development of their high school schedules.
Mrs. Darrell expressed a concern about how many students in the ninth grade could be affected and what kind of alternative or additional counseling would be needed for students with regard to remedial work.
Dr. Payzant stated that the recommendation would require them to take the additional two credits over their four years either in math, science or foreign language; that for the student who was having difficulty with math and science, there could well j be the need for some additional help. He added that present graduation requirements s called for only one year of science in the four years of high school and two years of mathematics; that if under the recommended requirements the student chose to take the'two additional credits of science, it would give them two years of science rather ! than one in the four years; if they took math it would give them three years of math rather than two; or if they took foreign language, then they could perceivably stick with the one year of science and two years of math; thait there would have to be some individual counseling and the interest and abilities of the student assessed rather clearly by the student and the counselor in setting up the four-year high school progfem.
Another concern was expressed by Mrs. Darrell with respect to the foreign language, in that if there were ninth graders who were having a problem with English and they were not reading English on the appropriate level and had not been exposed to ..a foreign language; the number of students this could affect adversely; that her concern was whether or not they would have any other support basis or support systems in mind. In further discussion, Dr. Payzant stated that the recommendation would not require students to take a foreign language; it only said that of the two. additional credits they would have to take either foreign language, math or science; that in regard to the reading, he thought that had to be addressed in terms of providing a better program and support systems for students and not letting them get as far as high school so far behind in reading skills, which was something they would have to address very directly as part of a recommendation on a tougher retention plan; that a retention plan was no good if it did not provide a program which would give the student a different kind of experience the second time around that would begin to deal with his or her problems.
As a final comment, Mrs. Darrell stated that she would hope that they would use every medium to make sure that parent and student alike were aware of the new requirements; thaCthey would star-t-immediately to make it a regular information item,^ss- that it would not be’shocking news to parents later.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS Mr. Donwerth relinquished the gavel to the vice president and made the following motion R. #152 Motion Approved whisch was seconded by Mrs. Darrell: Re Athletic I move that the Athletic Director's supplement and increments be the same Recommendations as the highest paid head coach's supplement and increment; That the Athletic Director's teaching schedule be set at three (3) hours per day; That the Athletic Director be allowed to be head coach of no more than one (1) sport and an assistant coach of no more than one (1) sport;
That the cheerleaders' sponsor or coach be placed under the department of the Athletic Director and that the initial expense of the cheerleaders' uniforms (two per cheerleader) be absorbed by the District. In discussing the motion, Dr. Hamm stated that after listening to the athletic directors and coaches that evening, he wandered if it would be possible for persons serving as athletic directors and coaches at the present time to be grandfathered so they could keep that position until they resigned, retired or whatever, and then in the future when that position became vacant, they use the recommendation of the Superintendent; that by so doing, in the future they would have the possibility to get two outstanding people in athletics, one as a director, and the other as a coach whi!ch wotSRd be a positive step in upgrading athletics.
Mr. Dowerth stated that his specific reason for making the motion was to upgrade the athletic program in Oklahoma City so that they would be able to draw on the fine coaches in Oklahoma in competing with other districts. Commenting further, Dr. Hamm stated that he thought they should give their attention to making the coach's position secure and attractive so they would stay and not have to combine several positions to meet the financial attractiveness for a coach. As an additional comment, Mr. Donwerth stated that in order to draw real good coaches in the future, he thought they were going to have to upgrade the salary.
Continuing with the discussion, Mrs. Darrell inquired as to why the issue had been raised regarding the athletic directors; whether they had been experiencing a problem in that respect? Dr. Hamm responded that he shared the concern about keeping the good athletic difector? and coaches and if they could keep them in that position, they should do it, but when, say, the athletic director and coach retired, they would have an opportunity to bring^two people in, promote one to athletic director within the system and then give a coach the sport-'-ttf'e athletic director was retiring from, and if they we-re selective could get two good people and improve the athletic program.
Commenting that Dr. Hamm's remarks^d-iiT noT''aTTSwe-r--her question, Mrs. Darrell stated that she was trying to find out iFthey had had scheduling or some other problems with regard to. athletic directors, coaches, etc. Ms. Betty Mason, Director of HighSchools, explained that that portion of the report was a part of a total package that was sent to the Board and was an outgrowth of Dr. Hamm's request that they take a looVat the total athletic program; that it was not a direct charge but came forth as the committee began to look at the job description of the athletic director, what it entailed, that the p„qrs'on had a teaching responsibility, and probably the Athletic Department would beserved best if that person did not also coach. In comparing the salary of a head football coach with that of Tulsa, Ms. Mason stated^that'she had found in the past several years that they had gotten close to where they wanted to be with that. With regajrd to the athletic director at Tulsa, Mrs. Hill indicated that she had been told that the director taught three hours and then served as athletic director, after which Ms. Mason commented that districtwide the athletic director was allowed to function according to the principal's desire; that according to information the office had received,"there were two coaches in Tulsa who were also athletic directors, and the others were only athletic directors.
As clarification in response to Dr. Hamm's suggestion about the grandfather approach, Dr. Payzant stated that all of the coaching assignments were extra-duty assignments and were year-to-year assignments, so a grandfather approach would not be appropriate under the current structure. As to the cheerleader aspect of the motion, Mr. Donwerth commented that some students were restricted from trying out because of the cost of the uniforms; that he did not expect the Athletic Department to initially take over the cost of providing the uniforms and it come out of the Athletic Department funds, but he did expect the District to fund it totally in the beginning and then it be supplemented each year as necessary out

of the Athletic Department. He talked further about the intent of the motion, that ithere would be two uniforms provided initially, one for spring and one for winter sports. In further discussion about assignments, Dr. Payzant commented that if Mr. Donwerth's motion were accepted, what their goal was could occur depending on how the individual principals decided to staff the various sports and the athletic director's position. Discussion continued, after inquiry from Mrs. Hermes, about cheerleading being an extracurricular activity; the fact that they buy their uniforms and keep them as opposed to athletic uniforms being furnished by the District and being property of the District.
Dr. Payzant explained that the major portion of the money that is put into band and athletic uniforms comes from the school activity funds and not from the General Fund budget; that occasionally a principal will allocate a portion of his or her supply or equipment money from the District General Fund to supplement some athletic equipment or uniforms; that in the case of band uniforms, the District had a long standing policy of every ten years replacing band uniforms with a matching situation where the District General Fund budget provided part of the money and the Band Boosters Club raised the balance. Mr. Donwerth, again,, alluded to the intent of his motion, that the initial cost of the cheerleaders1 uniforms be borne by the District. He referred to monay-raising activities available for bands and sports, but indicated that the main burden of cheerleaders1 expenses was borne by the parent.
Reference was also made by board members that whereas cheerleading was an extracurricular activity as well as sports and band, students receive credit for the latter two activities.
Mrs. Hermes, expressing that she still had a prob-lem with spending money on cheerleader uniforms when they were saying the District needed to save money, she continued by also voicing her concern about the "chain of command" with respect to there being an athletic director and a coach, then that of an assistant coach, and the athletic director being an assistant coach, and then the problem of the assistant coach outranking the coach. .,=
With regard to the District spending the money, Mrs. Darrell commented that she had a problem with cheerleaders being one of the auxiliaries that in her mind was very discriminatory; that it was attached to the Athletic Department and a requirement on W one hand in that if cheerleaders did not attend every function they were given demerits and put out; that she thought they should decide whether or not they needed cheerleaders, and if they did to decide to whom or what department they would be attached. ..."" She commented further about the fact that if some students had to buy band uniforms they probably would not be in- the’ band, ancTtfie fact that cheerleaders had to pay for their uniforms even though they were a predominantly athletic-related activity, tOf her, againjdiscriminatory. - s Before voting on the motion,^Mr^J)on Piccolo, Coach and Athletic Director of Northwest Classen, was granted permissio'n to-address the Board as per his request.
Mr. Piccolo directed his remarks to that gpjg&ion 7Tf~ttg2 Ad Hoc Committee Report with regard to an athletic director not coach!Hg'or'fha^he r'Jcoaching one sport; th§ upgrading of athletics by providing better facilities, care of"facilities by coaches, the effect of the proposal on principals having to find more coaches, more time needed for athletic directors to do their work, and other. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes;. Mrs. Hermes, no; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried and returned the gavel to Mr. Donwerth.
Mrs. DarreJl continued to inquire as to why they were dealing with the coaches and athletic directors in the first place, stating that she had not received a satisfactory answer. Dr. Payzant explained that the staff was asked some months ago by Dr. Hamm at a board meeting, with the concurrence of several other board members, to take a look at various aspects of the athletic program. Dr. Hamm cited some of the requests - the use of licensed trainers, the C Squad and Junior Varsity, the soccer program, the function of the stadium boards, employment of coaches, coaches’ salaries, and purchase of athletic equipment.
283 r
MINUTES OF MEETING OF MAY 17, 1982 - CONT'D n I
UNFINISHED BUSINESS Dr. Payzant continued, stating that one of the ways they started looking at coaches and .athletic directors was when they did an assessment of the relative amount of time spent in a position to get at the salary issue, the compensation issue, they had to look at the various duties and responsibilities of the athletic directors, the coaches, assistant coaches, the time spent, and to see where there were inequities or equity in that particular piece; that the major aspect of that was decided at the bargaining table but in order for him and his staff to get good data on what was happening, they had to look at that,; and when it surfaced it appeared that there were some real inequities in terms of expectations on paper for athletic directors, what they were supposed to be doing and the time requirements attending to those duties and responsibilities and functioning as head or assistant coach simultaneously. He added that unfortunately, as with all of the situations, it was very difficult when yoiu've got-peoplc who were well respected, and rightfully so, in a position where you were looking at the position and trying to look at that in an objective way; that it never got separated from the personality; that they were trying to look at the duties and responsibilities of the position and what was fair to expect and fair compensation for, and not at the personalities.
Stating that the motion by Mr. Donwerth only took care of Items #2 and #3 of the "Athletic Recommendations, 1982-83" as submitted by the Ad Hoc Committee and the Superintendent, Dr. Hamm moved for approval of Items #1 and #4 of those recommendations as follows: SUPERINTENDENT'S STAFF COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS RECOMMENDATIONS________ *1.

The Superintendent's Staff agrees. The sports affected are football and basketball only.
*Committee Recommendations - Staff Concurs **Amended by Superintendent's Staff
Mrs.- Darrell expressed a concern about the addino of "one more coach if there are 100 or more total football players..." and what would happen if the squad dropped off to 30 after the coach was hired? Ms. Mason responded, stating that when they asked what c6uTd :thdy! do to make the football teams better, one of the things all of the coaches had said was that they had not been allowing enough coaching pdTiTh)ns-4o--coach the various positions on the football teams; that she would hopethat they would not get down to 30; however, they would probably>tilX need the coaches in the various positions; that they spoke to the 100 because naturally if they had that many youngsters, they would certainly need more adults; that the major thing- they were getting at was the positions that needed to be covered in order to cause the-football teams to be more effective. Dr. Payzant added that the only variable would be' the extra coach; that they would still have the corp of six regardless and the ÂŤxtra-co3jh^Would only apply with the 100 players or more.
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion carried.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT POINTS FOR COMMITTEE WORK AND ADDING RESOURCES 135 & 142
.
Acquisition of staff development points for committee work or for adding resources to the Area Training Complexes is not recommended.
BONUSES BASED ON STAFF DEVELOPMENT POINTS
142 & 143
A bonus plan for staff development points is not recommended. The Oklahoma Legislature is considering a proposal to provide all certified personnel, who satisfy the requirements of their local staff development plan, with an annual stipend of $225. If the Legislature approves this proposal, it will be necessary,to amend the sections of this plan dealing with stipends and bonuses for time spent working on staff development points to eliminate double payment.
Mrs. Brody stated that she had a concern about the minimum number of staff development points to be earned annually, the 15 points that must be earned each year; that the original Committee recommendation was that in five years they were to earn a certain amount @<f points; that she thought if they were dealing with professionals, they could give tl^n a certain time range to meet those points and not mandate that they have to do a certain amount each year. She referred to HB?1706, stating that she thought the Legislature tried to mandate it that way and found it unworkable. Mr..Donwerth then called on Ms. Phoebe RevelTe, Chairperson, Staff Development Advisory Committee, who had requested to respond to questions on the subject.
Ms. Revelle responded to Mrs. Brody, stating that the Legislature did deal with the issue of 15 points on an annual basis (of the 75 points for five years) but decided not to require it. She added that it was the belief of the committee in a district as large as the Oklahoma City School District, there were teachers who already had hours above and beyond a master's degree who had already gone to school and in some instances earned credits, in addition to workshops and w’erefar beyond the 15 points, so to the committee it seemed unfair that the teachers would be required to earn that number of points in a given year.
, Mbttan * Perfected
Mrs. Brody then moved to perfect the motion to delete Page Reference 133 (Require that a mfnimum of 15 staff development points be earned by certified employeescach year.) and to accept the committee's recommendation (Require that the minimum number of points to be earned each year be the same as the number of hours scheduled on the school calendar as district inservice33ay57*)T-~-— The perfected ^motjen was seconded by Dr. Hamm.
As additional information to the^Board, Dr. Payzant stated that the Legislature in consideration of its appropriaticffi M.11, as he understood it, agreed to provide $225.00 per teacher over and above what’would come to the district through the salary mandates for staff development work; that'it wouft be available to teachers who would meet the local district requirement for staff development.-for that year; so part of the rationale for the 15 points was attached to the $2?5.00 although when he presented the recommendation to the Board two weeks before they did not know for sure the Legislature would actually provide the extra $225.00; that if the perfected motion was applied, the committee'^ recommendation was that there would only be required the number of hours scheduled on the school calendar as inservice days, which would be for 1982-83 four hours, four points as the minimum requirement. Discussion was continued by requirement by the district that an individual's points of keeping persons informed year of a given period.

Comments, at the request of the Superintendent, were made by Ms. Davis, Director, Personnel Services, who stated that the Superintendent and staff arrived at the minimum of staff development points of 15 annually because they felt an obligation to assist the certified employees in the district in retching the requirement of 75 points in a five-year time frame; that they would rather monitor on a year-to-year basis and have a requirement of the 15 points which would add up to the 75 points in the five-year period than arrive at the fourth or fifth year and a teacher not be anywhere close to that. She continued with further explanation of their viewpoint, the intent of the Legislature that teachers continue to be upgraded throughout the state, the responsibility of the district to decide how they would handle a situation when a

teacher did not fulfill the 75-point requirement, the fact that some teachers had not i attended workshops by the district even though there were many others who had many staff development points; that the 15-point per year recommendation had nothing to do with questioning the integrity of the teachers in the district, butfeltit as a minimum was a small amount.
I 1 I I
Upon questioning, Ms. Davis stated that the law required that teachers be informed of their staff development points annually and that' the Personnel Administrator for Staff Development Training had informed her that each teacher would be mailed the following day the sum total of their individual staff development points.
After Mrs. Darrell inquired about if a person picked up 30 points in one year and were on target, that if the following year they would necessarily have to do the 1'5, Ms. Davis replied that their recommendation was that a minimum of 15 points required annually regardless of how many were picked up in a given year. She explained further the rationale for their recommendation and the fact that the law.requires each district to set an amount of staff development points that their employees must meet each year. After further discussion, Ms. Revelle stated that if the Board would require the 15-point minimum for teachers, she thought it would be one more thing that would tend to cause good, qualified teachers to leave the district. Members of the Board continued to discuss the motion as perfected. Second Perfection of Motion Mrs. Hermes still expressing her concern about a monitoring period, asked that, the motion be perfected again - that the staff development points for every teacher be reviewed at the end of three years to determine if each one had the 45 points, and that the teachers and the appropriate staff be notified of those total points.
Mrs. Hill as maker of the original motion accepted the perfection which was seconded by Mr. Long.
On roll call for the motion as perfected, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, no; Mr. Long, no; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, abstain; Dr. Hamm, no; and Mr. Donwerth, no. Mr. Donwerth declared that the motion as perfected failed. R. #155 v Second Motion Re Modifications of Staff Development Plan for 1982-83
Mrs. Hill, again, made the motion which was, again, seconded by Dr. Hamm to approve the 'Staff Development and Training Plan for 1982-83 based on the recommendations of the Staff Development Advisory Committee with modifications as shown previously.

NEW BUSINESS R. #157 Action .Rescinded fe EPSF Program for 1982-83
A motion was made by Mrs. Hill and seconded by Mrs. Hermes that the Board rescind its action taken at a previous meeting (May 3, 1982) on non-implementation of the'Early Prevention of School Failure Program. Members of the Board discussed'the emergency aspect of voting on the motion since the initial staff development for the program would be scheduled the first week in June; therefore, it was decided that it could be voted on at that meeting.
Mrs. Darrell stated that she did not have a problem’with the emergency or reconsidering the motion, but at that point did not have anything that would cause her to change her vote. Mrs. Hermes commented that she was in favor of the program but wanted to reiterate, again, that they would have to have three things before the program would work. First, it would have to be done in a timely manner in the fall, within six weeks the children would have to be tested; secondly, the paperwork wouldchave to be streamlined for

the principal and teacher; otherwise, it would be more accountability for them arid she was Yiot in favor of that; thirdly, all kindergarten teachers should be notified as soon as possible about the program because they were coming to the end of school and they needed to know what would be instituted if it was approved for next year.

It was then moved by Mrs. Hill and seconded by Mrs. Hermes that the Early Prevention of School Failure Program be implemented in 1982-83. Mrs. Darrell commented that she was getting increasingly disturbed about the action that the Board takes and the hurried manner in which they did things; that if they could not make a decision to last from one board meeting to the next they were apparently doing something wrong. She continued by stating that she thought they needed to give more deliberation on their decisions; that in the future she would appreciate the Board having information in sufficient time that if it took two months to deliberate, they could do that.
R. #158 EPSF Program Approved for 1982-83
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, no; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs.^ill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, no; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, no. Mrs. Heftnes stated that in view of the fact that they hurriedly made a decision at the last meeting to eliminate the Preschool and Day Care Programs and did not do it according to their policy wh'ich was to move a motion and take action on it at the next meeting, and they voted on it before they had all of the facts, she would move to rescind the deletion of the Preschool/Day Care Programs at both West Nichols Hills and Edwards. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Darrell.
Members of the Board discussed the need to vote on the motion since the programs were to be eliminated as of June 1; if the programs were approved, did it mean that West Nichols Hills would automatically be taken off dthe list of schools targeted for closing or could it be considered as a program that could be moved’to another building; and other. After Dr._Hamm commented that he would be in favor of the motion if the tuition increase WouTcT'b'e' sufficient to cover the operating costs as well as pay back into the General Fund- a certain amount of money that was expended to start the program, Mr. Donwerth replied'^at from information they had received, with an increase in tuition itjvould start paying back at a rate to retire the initial cost.
Dr. Payzant also.. commented that there ware tw£ things involved, the district start-up cost on the expenditure side and iac’Tliding tiTe'mbrfey that the state provided in reimbursement for the staff salaries on the revenue side; that if those two items were factored-'■wi^arFtk.'it was computed from the first year that the school opened through the current jear and projected-i nto the next, and with the tuitidri - increases that he had recommended and if the enrol^huenj, stayed up in both schools, he believed they would be at a break-even point sometime duri-ng the next academic year, including the amortization of the initial cost and remodeling wlwch occurred in the first year that the programs were started. ~ . Mrs. Hill expressed a concern, again, with regard to perfecting the motion in that if West Nichols Hills would be closed that the students be sent elsewhere since the schools targeted for closing would be voted on at the May 24 meeting. Mr. Donwerth commented as being in agreement with Mrs. Darrell in that they needed to make a decision and stick with it and also make sure that they had all the’iinformation needed to have a full understanding in making up their minds about what they were going to do; that in the future they should demand that they have all of the information. He added that he .bad come to the meeting with additional information and was prepared to vote to reinstate the Preschool/Day Care Programs at West Nichols Hills and Edwards; however, he would delay the subject until after hearing from persons who had been asked *come to and speak on the schools that had been targeted for closing. He then called on the following persons'-who had signed up to address the Board on that subject, with a six-minute time limit for each school.

only program of its kind that addresses itself to the problem of elementary-age children and working parents; new information regarding the budget; statement of financial condition and recommendation to increase rates; expected expenditure for the program * more than what was actually spent; not enough evidence presented to substantiate a decision to close the program; time needed for it to level out financially; multifaceted service to school system and community; too short of time given to show true worth of program; programs designed for regular attendance; increasing the rates adequately based on comparable costs with the center and other centers; consideration of putting a K through 4 school in facility to build enrollment and to encourage state reimbursement; taking a good look at all of the financial information and enrollment information to reconsider decision; reconsideration, reassessment of values and reexamination of priorities and reasons for not voting against such a beneficial program for children, and other.
Stating that herr comments were riot being presented as a demand but a plea regarding Edwards Preschool/Day Care Center, Representative Williams alluded to the fact that those students involved would have to be bused later to another neighborhood; the earlier a child is trained the better the youngster is for learning; the northeast quadrant--of the city having always supported bond issues and have not voted it down; the request to save Edwards Preschool, and other. Mr. Donwerth restated the motion which was made by Mrs. Hermes and seconded by Mrs. Darrell earlier in the meeting -"I move to rescind the deletion of the Preschool/ Day Care Programs at both West Nichols Hills and Edwards" which he said would reinstate the programs at those schools.

21.00
Kindergarten
29.00
Grades 1 thru 4 (before & after school)
24.50
Before School

Mrs. Darrell accepted the perfection.
After Dr. Payzant was asked if the increasedrates would carry the Preschool/Day Care Program without a loss of funds tothe district, he replied that if the enrollment Stayed close tojt-he-jnaximum, yes; if the enrollment dropped off significantly, no; but he felt quvte surie that the increase in tuition would cover the additional cost plus factoring in the state reimbursement on one hand an^ charging,it off the initial investment that the Board made in^th^;building modifications on the other, which in combination they would have a break-even situation in the next fiscal year.
After further discussion by members of the Board about t.hj& *emergency of voting on the motion, Mrs. Hill agreed to the vote after, again, stating her concern about West Nichols Hills being on the list of schools targeted for closing and her favoring the four-year moratorium on closings for all of the schools.

McKinley Park site issue; flooding at McKinley Park and its not being a good place to build a building or school; closing of schools, and other. NEW BUSINESS Motions for Consideration at June 7 Meeting
Mrs. Darrell stated that she had two motions to put before the Board, but before doing so sh^_wanted to make a comment; that she was extremely impressed to see so many people at tjge meeting that evening and would look forward to seeing them at the next meeting became it was easy to see how some people thought some things were important and others not; * did citing cheerleading, athletics, bilingual programs, leaky roofs, and a group of people not wanting students to attend schools out of their neighborhood; that each have their own personal vested interests, and if persons would stay in touch with the Board on a regular and consistent basis, maybe they would be able to get their signals better. She referred to the actions that had been rescinded on programs that evening and stated that she thought the problem had been that of making a decision before having sufficient data. She added that in order -for them, hopefully, to be able to move items on the agenda and not continue to get backlogged with afterthought she wanted to move the following motion, which was seconded by Mrs. Brody:
"I move that any item presented to the Board which relates to dropping, closing, or adding any program component be deferred for one full month before a vote is taken." Mrs. Darrell then presented a second motion to be considered at the June 7 meeting. .Itv too, was seconded by Mrs. Brody:
"I move that a survey be conducted to determine what other schools in this ‘^district, if any, wish to add day care and preschool programs." In additional comments, Mrs. Darrell stated that she had total concern with the district in that they deliver parity-ftttcL^gjjity to children throughout the district, and if they could get the constituency to deal with priorities, they would not have problems with .funding of any sort; that maybe they needed more preschools and she would be very disturbed if the children in her neighborhood were considered an early school failure because they ^id not have the opportunity to have a preschool or did not live in a neighborhood where^they could raise $14t)0, because to her that was not equity and parity, which was what^uhlic education was all about.

Purpose of Meeting
He read from the list of targeted schools as follows:
Burbank Davis Kaiser Mayfai r Monroe
Nichols Hills Riverside Ross Sequoyah

Criteria: Condition of facilities. Enrollment as to percentage of capacity of building (if under 70%). Percentage of students enrolled living in neighborhood (under 50% as cutoff'). Pattern of declining enrollment in neighborhood over last three years. "
Mrs. Brody stated that because she-ttfbught it wouTd be unfair to keep people there whose schools were going to go off the closing list, she would move that the following schools be removed’Worn consideration for closing. Burbank Davis Kaiser Monroe Riverside

The mot ion. was seconded by Mr,s. Darrell, after which upon suggestion by Mrs. Hermes the motion was perfected to-yote on the schools separately rather than as a package.

A motion was then made by Mrs. Darrell and seconded by Mrs. Hermes - I move that we consolidate the following schools:
Mayfai r to Monroe Sunset to Stonegate
Ross to Shields Heights and Davis Nichols Hills to Britton and Harrison
Members of the Board discussed briefly with staff members the changes meeting the -raeTaT balance; enrollment and capacity at West Nichols Hills, Harrison and Britton; accommodations for the emotionally disturbed classes at Nichols Hills; the fact that North Highland students feed into nine elementary schools and the change would eliminate two of those-schools and not split the students from that area in-so many different ways.
After Mrs. Hermes expressed conceW'W of the children in the closed schools follow the students to their new location, Ms. Davis, Director of Personnel Services, upon Request by Dr. Payzant, explained a plan of action that she and her staff had considered to follow whereby after the schools had been identified, they would go from building to birWdjng to talk with the teachers affected and in every case possible where blocks of chiItfrei^would be going from one school to another as a block, if the facilities would so allow, ffieÂŁwu-l4^o_.with the students to cause them as little disruption as possible; if students werd scattered into classrooms that were already in existence, then they would haye^toTgo toJTflling vacancies with the teachers displaced.

would be at $35.00 per hour; it just happened that they had included in that agenda *a recommendation for only one roof but there would be others that they had planned for Mr. Keely to perform work on. After Mrs. Darrell asked how Mr. Keely was selected, at the request of Mr. Ginn, Dr. Wallace Smith, Assistant Superintendent, Business Services, responded, stating that Mr. Keely had come to the department with the proposal that they investigate the utilization of that new method of repairing roofs; that they went to Edmond and checked on the roofs that he had -supervised the'construction of and were impressed with the method and the people that were doing the work; so they were recommending him as the only expert that they knew of in the area to be the consultant to the district. Mrs. Darrell inquired further as to if there was more than one contractor that did the work and how long a period of time the Edmond Schools had had that type of roof replacement, to which Dr. Smith replied that there was more than one contractor; also, there were those who would do the work that would not be satisfactory, which was where Mr. Keely's experience and expertise would come in handy; that Edmond had put on three roofs with that material and it had been over a period of four or five years; that they eventually hoped to train people in the district's Maintenance Department so they would be able to do the work and then they would no longer need Mr. Keely's expertise in that area.
Mrs. Will asked if the process would be successful in repairing roof leaks, '.after which Dr. $mith stated that it would be successful in repairing leaks and if you had to do the^hole roof over you would not lose the amount that you put on to repair the leaks; that if you used the other method and put a patch on the tar and gravel roof, when you put on the new roof you would have to scratch it off to repair it, so the method as recommended would be a saving of money.

Before asking Dr. Smith to respond, Mr. Ginn stated that he and Dr. Smith had visited Willard and had climbed among the rafters but did not find deterioration of any of the building..

BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION
Dr. Smith responded that they would repair the roof which would allow them to use the upper floor of the older part of the building; that viscose sheeting was being used on the floors to protect them; that with respect to heating, plumbing and electrical problems of the whole building, one of the reasons they were closing the building was because it was an older building but they would maintain it as well as they could to keep it in operation; that the roof repair was a stopgap measure..
R. #175 Approval of Buildings and Construction Items
Dr. Smith also commented about the additional roof repair for the older part of the building and discussion continued between him and members of the Board with regard to the viscose covering being put on the third floor of the building and students being moved to the second floor; water leaking in the fuse boxes and light fixtures; the need to check the building to eliminate hazardous conditions for the children, and other
After Mrs. Hill expressed additional concern about the electrical problems at Willard, Dr. Stripling replied that, yes, the viscose sheeting was being put on to keep the water from leaking through to the first and second floors; that it was getting into the electrical fixtures, but hopefully when the roof was repaired it would stop that from happening. Further interest was noted by Mrs. Brody with regard to what it was going to cost to repair the electrical fixtures, wiring, etc., to make it safe for the children, and the damage that had already been done.
Dr. Stripfing stated that he was not aware that they had any major damage as the result of the rqof leaking, but they would check it to make sure that the building was safe and, as*far as water getting into the electrical fixtures, etc., and the need to change them, the work could be done by the district's maintenance crew and it should be at a minimum.
Mr. Ginn commented that if they approved the item as recommended, it would be a matter of preparing plans and specifications to advertise for a roof, and during the time that the plans and specifications were being prepared and advertising being done, Dr. Smith, Dr. Stripling and others of the Maintenance Department would have a chance to do the inspection that members of the Board were concerned about, and they would report back to the Board about the condition of the electrical wiring and electrical fixtures in the building.
After being asked if the report would be prior tiT'letting the.contract for the roof repair, Mr. Ginn stated that there would be the time factor in advertising for the roof to be done and the Board 'could make its decision at that time. /On rtflT'call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes;- Mrs. Hill, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Dr. Hamm, yes; and Mr. Donwerth, yes.

NEW BUSINESS
Comments Mrs. Hill
Comments Mrs. Darrell
Mrs. Hill referred to a NSBA Federal Relations Network petition asking people to sign as opposing Tuition Tax Credits and suggested that members of the Board sign the ^petition and leave it with the Clerk so it could be signed by other people and mailed back to NSBA. No one expressed opposition to her suggestion. Mrs. Darrell expressed a concern about the Board's policy on the sibling clause. After referring to specific information which had been provided to members of the Board, she then made a motion that was seconded by Mrs. Hill - "I move that these identified children be allowed to continue at the high school of Children of the same household."
As further explanation of her concern, Mrs. Darrell stated that she did not want to vary the whole thing but she had received a call from a parent who had two children already in one high school and with the sibling clause expiring, it would put that third child in another high school in another part of town, which she considered a devastating impact.
Mrs. Hi 11 commented that she had proposed the same thing several years ago and she agreed that if they had an older brother or sister in a school they needed to keep that family together in that school.
After Ms. Mason was asked if she thought those identified were all of the children involved, Ms. Mason indicated that she had not seen the data1 to which she was' referring but shd did know that there were a large number of youngsters in that category; however, whatever the Board should choose on the procedure, they would be pledged to work with it, but the reason it was being done the way it was, .was to try to keep a school in balance. After further discussion, it was determined that the data which board members had received only dealt with Longfellow School attendance area only.
Dr. Lindley added that there would be a much larger group of cfaildrendrivolved. ■ Mrs. Darrell then withdrew her motion but stated that she would like for the Board to be informed of how many students would be impacted by the sibling clause policy so they could work it out so that students in the same household would not have to be split. Comments Dr. Hamm
Dr. Hamm commented that they were all aware of when the Vo-Tech 22 Board was sworn in he would automatically go off the 1-89 Board; that he had served as the Board's ‘"representative to the Board of Directors of the Oklahoma State School Boards Association and, therefore, someone else would need to be selected to serve on that Board of Directors. Mr. Donwerth added that he would admonish his colleagues that the appointment was a big pair of shoes to fill and they would want to be very careful and get someone to represent the district at the OSSBS' sessions-.
Comments 1r. Donwerth
Mr. Donwerth referrred to -another part of the agenda at which time new board members would be sworn in and the reorganization of the Board would take place, and stated that he had .■ a few comments to make before stepping down as a member of the Board.
His remarks were as follows:
-
For the past eight and one-hailf years I have'been a member of the Oklahoma City School Board and it has become a great part of my life, and stepping down is not easy for me. I have no intentions of bidding my colleagues farewell or the staff of th*is district. I don't believe that I could completely divorce myself from anything that has been such a big part of my life for the past eight and one-half years. I feel that we have had a good school year this year even though we have had some traumatic incidents that happened, like the Star School explosion in January. We had a heartfelt sorrow for the families and the children that were involved in that explosion and it is something that won't" be easy for us to get over in a long time. I think the lost effort in the defeat of the bond issue that we worked so hard on and put. in so many hours to try to pass for the safety and good buildings and for the betterment of this district has only made us more determined to make this a safe, good and better district for the students that we have. I feel that all of us that are a part of this community have an obligation for some type of civic affairs aricl to be involved in a civic program of some kind, and I chose mine to serve on the School Board instead of another way.
I would like to pledge to the district and to my successors and to the School Board my assistance. At anytime that I can be of any service at all, I would appreciate you calling on me and I would be glad to work with you in any way that I can. Thank you very much.

Presentation of Certificates of Election
The Honorable Jim Fried, State Representative, administered the Oath of Office to Mrs. Darrell (four-year term) and Mrs. Donwerth (four-year term).
Oath of Office
Mr. Ginn presented Representative Fried for remarks, who then offered congratulations to the two newly sworn-in board members. He stated that over the last eight years he had had the opportunity to serve in the Oklahoma House of Representatives and over the last four years had served as Chairman of the House Education Committee, and that they had worked very closely with a number of people throughout the state who were very interested in education. He stated that he knew as board members they were extremely interested in the well-being of the school children in Oklahoma City and although it was a thankless job there were a lot of rewards to it,too. Representative Fried added that over the last few years there had been a movement from control at the federal level to the state level and on the state level there was a definite move to return the control o>schools back to the local boards of education, back to the people who were elected an a local level to administer the school districts; that it was a very awesome responsibility for them as a board member, but a lot of the control that the state took from local districts would begin to come back to them, and he hoped they would take it and use it to the best benefit of the school children in the state and of the district. He continued by noting that persons in public office do take a good deal of criticism for the job that they do but he appreciated the fact they cared enough to get out front and try to do something about making the school district one of the best possible. Representative Fried then quoted a statement by former President Theodore Roosevelt which he stated was made about men, but one that could apply to women as well — "It is not the critic who counts. The credit actually belongs to the man in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement or whoat worst if he fails-^i least fails while daring greatly, so that his place will never be with those cold and tormented souls who know neither victory nor defeat." He-enxie^*his remarks by' congratulating members of the Board for the job that they were ’doing and wished them well.
On roll call of the newly seated Board,
all members were present.
Continuing with the order of the agenda'/Mr-.-Ginn ,briefly outlined the Board's policy BCA on reorganization of the Board rand the procedurerfor electing a President of the Board, whereby he .injthe absence of the Superintendent would accept nominations from any board member, then after it appeared that the nominations had been completed, he would ask three times if there w^re anymore nominations, ^,after which he would close the nominations and the Clerk would call^the roll at which time each board member would state the nominee for which they were'T/o-ting, or if a’lboard member should choose "r to abstain, would answer the roll call as present1^, that, at the conclusion of the roll call the Clerk would repeat the results and a jserribex wpuijkbe elected to the office when he or she got a majority of the votes cast.

SPECIAL glTS INESS
Mrs. Hi ft presented Dr. Payzant who gave introductory remarks and highlighted some of the key aspects of the working draft of the budgets. Before the presentation, he stated that the overall purpose of the meeting was to inform people about the working draft of the General Fund and Building Fund budgets and move toward further discussion at the regular meeting on Monday, June 21, and toward a decision on the 1982-83 budgets in a special meeting scheduled for the 28th of June at 5:00 p.m. Dr. Payzant continued by stating: The board members received a draft of the major account categories in the General Fund and Building Levy budgets some two weeks ago plus a job-class summary which itemizes the positions by account category with the history of the 1 980~-'81 year, the 1 981 -82 current year, and requested positions for 1982-83. We will be referring to those documents as well as an analysis of revenue which I will , and the vol uminous resource document which is in draft form will be used as a source piece as we work through the various 'account categories this evening. •‘V
The process that was used this year in preparing the draft of'this budget was very similar to last and the budget committee was created here with rtrembers of my immedia.t.e, staff and four principals, one from each level appo i n ted^.by the PrTfTcipals Association. This committee. began its work in the middle of the school year and worked through the'-s-pring with the culminating meetings being double lengthy ones during the week before I left on vacation, and the resul t was the prel imi na'xy^orki ng draft of"the budget that was then sent to the Board. At the ^fc^gol level the process followed was also similar to a year ago! in that''■■eeHfl^'ISrWcipal was asked to involve members of the school faculty and j^nF^ d d FtTo n^ g i v e either the School Advisory Council or patrons who were' 1 n'teFe-S'ted the opportunity to participate in a review of the budget at the school level. As we get into the General ...Fund budget it will become apparent that there were certain account categories where schools had total control over the budget and had the decision-making authority to use for pupil allocation in such a way as the respective school personnel deemed appropriate for the needs of the particular school.
•
A budget is as complex or as simple as one wants to make it; whether we are talking about a budget that encompasses millions of dollars or a very small personal budget, the concepts are basically the same; namely, the budget must balance. In the case of a public school district, there is no choice. The statutes require that it be balanced and that means that we cannot spend more than our income. So we are constantly looking on the one hand on the revenue side of the budget to see what we estimate as available resources and then move from there to the expenditure side of the budget establishing priorities for the expenditure of the money to meet board goals and the needs of students in the school district.

To summarize first before going into detail, the revenue estimate that I will go over with you is for $79,767,410.00 plus an anticipated $6,839,200.00 which will come from the State of Oklahoma earmarked for salary increases. The totals, $86,606,610.00 that we estimate will be available total revenue to fund the 1982-83 budget, compared with a 1 981-82 amount, which includes the supplemental budget approved by the Board at last Monday's board meeting, of $75,050,000.00. To compare those two figures you will see that we are talking about an increase of $11,556,610.00, which is a 15.4% increase. That projection anticipates a budgetary reserve on June 30, 1983 of $2,914,654.00 or about 3.4% of the overal1 budget which would keep the reserve at about the same percentage of the overall budget that we had in the current year. I have indicated that these are estimates because it is impossible to reach precision in putting together a revenue package which constantly changes as the real dollars come in during the year. I believe that it is a responsible estimate and perhaps a bit liberal in some account categories which I will note and a bit conservative in others. On balance, hopefully it comes close to the actual that we will receive when June 30, 1983 is here.
There is one revenue item that has not been included in these figures ajjd that is the amount of money that will be collected from tuition charged to the parents of children in the preschool programs, and I. did not have an opportunity late this afternoon to double-check *io see whether all of the expenditures for the preschool programs are in the budget on the expenditure side. I believe that they are. If that is the case, we will have to increase the revenue estimates by approximately $170,000.00, which will give you more flexibility on the expenditure side.
You should have in front of you a copy of a memo to me from Darrel Shepard on revenue estimates. It is very similar to what you received a couple of weeks ago with the working draft of the budget. The only modifications have been several updates and there are very few subsequent changes. As you study the detail of the revenue estimates, you will see that there is not a substantial increase in our ad valorem taxes. Over the last several years we have been seeing this local property tax increase on the average at the rate of 2Jg% or so. I have not been able to understand why it has been S.o slight an increase in percentage. It seems to me that with the amount of construction that has gone on in this community and its overall growth, that amount received from property taxes ought to increase at ajijgher rate. That, of course, is all tied up^in assessment practices; and I don't have all of the answers.’Tor you on why, ’the rate of increase is so small. It may be that one of these years as’ some adjustments^a-r^e,jnade i n assessment practices; that rate wi 11 increase, but a14-Mtfe have to go on now is the experience in the last fqu.r or five years, and that is why we increased that particular source orfTy very slightly. There are two or threT sources of income~*that show some substantial increases. One, you wiIT^aj^ thej Foundation Aid and Incentive Aid package, which is the bul k irf- th'e^tate money and shows a handsome increase. That is the result o£.Sfncl’udYiTjJ salary mandates from the prior years in theFoundati on 'andTn’ceriTi ve Aid program. In addition to that you are all aware of the legislators' commitment to a salary package that would be very good again this year, and that dollar amount whichSI alluded to earlier is over $6 million and has been listed separately on the revenue estimate. You will also note that the impact of the court decision and the changes in the leasing practices of the School Land Commission have generated some substantial increases in revenue for us, and we are projecting that those increases will even be greater another year.
Another category that was very positive this year was interest income. When we sat at this table a year ago we had no way of knowing that the interest rates would stay high through the entire year and, of course, no ont can speculate what they might be a year from now. We have not assumed that they will stay at the current rate for yet another year, but on the other hand we haven't assumed that they will plummet significantly, so we have triad to make a good guesstimate on what interest income will be for next year.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF JUNE 16, 1982 - CONT'D
SPECIAL BUSINESS #If you study the detailed breakdown on miscellaneous income, you will see that there is an increase of about $600,000.00 estimated in that source. If you study the detail carefully, there are two areas that stand out that represent a substantial portion of the increase. One area is $450,000.00 which will come to us for the expenses that we incur and the evaluation of children using the staff of psychometrists and psychologists in the Education Services division. Tulsa and Oklahoma City have assumed the responsibility for student evaluation for years, where other school districts have gone to a regional resource center which is funded by the state to acquire those services. With the help of Representative Fried we argued this year successfully that the LegisTa'tur.e ought to provide funds for Oklahoma City and Tulsa directly to the school districts to provide those evaluation services, and that is what that money represents.
You’will also see a line item transportation grant which represents additional money th&t will be coming to the school district to reimburse a portion of our transportation cost. Turning to the expenditure category, it is appropriate to begin this discussion by looking at enrollment and our projections. When we projected enrollment for the 1981-82 school year, the one just ended, we projected 40,131 students. As you will recall, that was an estimated decline of about 800 students that never occurred. In fact, our enrollment peaked in the fall of this year at about 100 students above what we had the previous fall. We are projecting for 1982-83, 41,514 students. That is an increase of 13,083 students over last year's; projection and an increase of about 500 students over our actual peak enrollment this school year. That is important to keep in mind because this is a budget,of growth rather than a budget of decline and it makes a difference not only in the pattern of expenditures required, but also in the psychology of approaching this-budget, which is a much more positive one than we were able to employ a year ago.
To refresh your memory further on th"e“'breakdown, the projected increase in enrollment comes at every level except high school, and there is a projected decline at high school which is consistent with , what_we had been projecting right along, and the state and nation, that matter, is experiencing as the bulge of students moves -up and out and awaits a new bulge of students starting in at the loW-eT grades. This will become more apparent when you look at staffing patterns and the addition of teaching positions rec.O'fflffiended at the various levels. Before getting into some specific prirgram areas, I want to make a comment about the Building Levy budget and Food Services, because there are a'l&ouple of things that we have included in the General Fund budget that relate to these two other budgets. If you look at the Building Levy budget, you will notice t+ie current year total’ for that budget, and we are^taJ king about the budget that finances the maintenance and plant operations o.f $3,523,000.00. The proposed 1 982-83 budget is only $3,54 3,000.00-,, a net di f fere nee of only $20,000.00. The reason for that -i^'w^e ”a re^fa 1 ki ng about a fixed source of revenue for the Building Levy, 'which is the five mills voted in and by the people to support that budget, and because the five mills is totally attached to local property tax and that local property valuation has not been increasing at a percentage rate sufficient to begin to keep up with inflation. We really noticed it in the Building Levy budget where we don't have other revenue sources to compensate as we do in the General Fund budget. So we had no choice this year but to in a very active way and in a planned fashion put somo, money in the General Fund budget to help underwrite some of the expenses of the Building Levy budget.
•
We have included about $300,000.00 in additional dollars in the General Fund budget on the expenditure side in two areas, payment of Social Security for the employees in the Building Levy budget and Workers Compensation to help make up the dollars required to fund that budget. It may well be that as we get into the fiscal year, as the year goes on we will have to provide additional supplements from the General Fund budget for Building Levy.

With respect to Food Services, you will recall that on several occasions people spoke to the Board about support from the General Fund budget for the Food Services program. In the budget that I am presenting to you, we have included about $76,000.00 to pick up the salaries of the administrative staff that operate the Food Services program, which would be a General Fund contribution to the Food Services operation.
Those are two rather significant changes in this budget which wanted to call to your attention at the outset.
I
Again this year the basic education program in the classroom has the top priority in this budget. Most of the increases that you will see are in positions and positions that go to the classroom, namely teachers and ai des, cl eri cal support personnel. The staffing is done with the expectation that class/student to staff ratios will remain at 25 to one fob elementary, 26 to one at the middle schools, and 28 to one at the high schools. The high school figure when we are through will be better than that, I believe, because I have allocated some positions at the high school level to do some rounding off of staffing so that classes would not have to be cut out in some of the key elective areas and in some of the advanced placement in other courses which are offered for gifted students on the one hand aTid for students who need additional help through developmental Reading on the other. In other words, we will be continuing the •Advanced placement program, gifted and talented programs, the elementary physical education program, developmental reading at the high school and, if you approve this as recommended, in the area of special education, vocal music, and English as a second language, expansion of those programs.
In the materials you received two weeks ago, you received a job class summary which has an analysis of positions. When we go to the workbook you will be able to cross reference the job class summary and your printout on major account categories with the backup information in the workbooks. In the area of supplies and materials, the per pupil allocations that were available for school budget planning were as follows:
$16.31
for elementary and fifth year centers;
$26.33 for middle schools; $32.81
and
for high schools.
Although these per pupil allocations were the same as 1981-82, the doll ars “avcai 1 abl e to th e . s..cIiQp 1 s will be greater, because of enrollment increases at every 1 ev.e.T excepT'TlTe^ hi gh school and at the elementary schoo1; because kindergarten students will become full time rather th an'h^l'f'^ti me for the purpose of the allocation for supplies and materials. And the full amount based on the projected enrollment will be allocated to the^chgpls, so we will not hold the money back from the schools to make adjirs-tments if they get additional enrollment or to take money away from them- i f tfrei r enrollment does not come up to projection. —~—
In addition, you will see as we go through the detail that I have included the substantial dollar amounts of about $30,000.00 at each level and supplemental textbook money for the operations directors to use to help the schools purchase additional textbooks beyond what the state allocation will allow them to purchase. There are some substantial increases recommended in equipment, replacement primarily. One of the things that has been deferred in this district for a number of years because of limited resources is equipment replacement. For example, it has been several years since any furniture has been replaced, and there is a substantial amount included for the beginning of some furni ture. repl acement and replacement of some equipment such as vehicles used by the warehouse, some maintenance quipment and so forth. ’ ’ *•' Last year I introduced the concept in this budget of using local resources to supplement what is available from the state for negotiating contracts with the respective employee organizations. And, again, this year I have included in a separate account $1.1 million which will be available in addition to the state-mandatec salary money for use by the Board in negotiating the contracts for salaries and fringe benefits with the various employee groups, which

*will continue at least for this year the Board's contribution from local resources above and beyond what the state has provided for the continuing improvement of salary and fringe benefit packages for the various employee groups.
Dr. Payzant then referred to the working draft, printout information, etc., and explained the format used as set out in the materials. As further explanation, he stated that they had not in the working draft actually identified the specific account category where a savings would be realized from school closings which in addition to the’revenue available from the preschool tuition would give them a little flexibility as they made decisions on what to add and what to delete. He then suggested that board members might want to go through the various account categories and the working printout, and address their areas of concern. Dr. Hamm'expressed appreciation for the sensitivity that had been shown in response to the Food Service people's concerns.
—1
;
In responding to some of the questions and concerns raised by members of the Board, Dr. Payzant gave an explanation of additional positions in Personnel; the increase in the Election Expense account because of the new law that requires school elections to be held in tne regular polling places which means additional expense; the flexibility in account for schools where they have the flexibility to take their per pupil allocations aff# determine how much that will be allocated to each account and some decide to go heavy on equipment and very light in other categories; the intern program and the equivalent of five teaching positions beingTpcliuded in that program, whereby they are assigned as an intern for a semester where they work with administrators and get experience with administrative responsibilities but stay at their teacher’s salary during the intern experience; much of the increase in the budget being in people because of the increased enrollment, reduction of class size at the high school, expansion of programs in special education, ESL, etc., which causes an increase in teaching positions; no impact on the district as the result of the Supreme Court decision with regard to educating illegal aliens in elementary schools since the Oklahoma City school district has not made an effort to differentiate or establish whether or not a child was an illegal alien.
Continuing to respond to inquiries by members of the Board, with regard to the need for more counselors in view of the implementation of the Early Prevention of School ; F|iijure J’J2°9rani» the discussion included the fact that the counselors would be used /during’the first few weeks of school, which at that1 time their load is very light. Explanation was given on the breakdown of Vocational Department personnel, including a part-time director and consultants in home economics and industrial arts beirig'Tnoved from Curriculum to Vocational; the relationship of programs being dropped in vocational education, those projected to be dropped and.the Trades and Industrial programs still in 1-89; and the fact that requirements on graduation might impact the program. Discussion also-i rrc’Tuded the procedure used by principals in submitting their budget after involvement of others arid reviewed by operations directors; the allocation to schools and their decision on howX-thg money is to be spefit. In response to a concern about the Opening- Doors f-rogram and how the resources would be spent, it was noted that there had been some-changes'Tn^the program whereby some fourth grade students were participating as well as" tjte*>fffth graders and efforts had been made to give fewer but more in-depth kinds of experiences. Following the discussion and additional concern raised about the Opening Doors being limited only to certain areas, a request was made for more information on what was being projected for the suggested allocation, an itemized 1isting, the agencies included and why they were included; the agencies which were considered and those dropped from the list for consideration. Interest was expressed with respect to the Human Relations Program, that it be considered at jevery level - students, faculty, and staff; after which Dr. Payzant commented that one of the reasons far having a position in the Staff Development Department was so a person would spend a major portion of time on human relations to get at some of the concerns that had been raised, recognizing that there had to be a balance between some specific attention given to the program under the leadership of an individual along with responsibilities that would rest with all of the major leadership positions in the school district; that there would be a more specifically defined program in the coming year than had been so in the past two years.
A specific concern was noted in that the past school year there was only one minority artist-in-residence in the Opening Doors Program and in previous years there had been more than that.

Mention was also made regarding the consideration of rate changes on utilities and the use of an energy saving plan.
Utilization of campus police was also discussed in regard to their being contracted by individual schools when they are off duty and providing services for extracurricular activities; overtime expense in emergency situations and overtime being provided to hire campus officers who work during the school year to fill in for patrol when persons take their vacations during the summer months.

It was also noted that there was an increase for Social Security which did not mean that all of the increases for higher salaries had been factored in, but a $300,000.00 amount had been budgeted to pay the Social Security for all of the employees that were on the Building Levy budget. With respect to the allocatfon for Food Service Department salaries, Dr. Payzant explained that it would offset a portion of that amount and would cover the Food Service administrators, the area supervisor, dietician, training supervisor, and buyer; thaf^the department would still be charged for utilities.
In discussion of Transportation, the e^pT.cm'atTxm was that there was a budgeted amount to replace the buses that would be a ten-year replacment age next year; that it did not assume further reduction of contract buses and they would have the option, depending on what happened with regard to revenue, to buy additional buses as was done the past year to further reduce the number of contract buses.
Mention was made of the schools that had been approved for closing and were still listed in the budget, after which Dr. Payzant stated that he needed some direction from the Board on how they wanted to handle that since all of it was done on a per pupil allocation and where they were actually shifting pupils to schools, those accounts would make those shifts, but there were some other overhead expenses that would generate some additional dollars and he would need some direction on how they wanted to approach that; that the dollar amounts in specific accounts for the four schools had not been pulled out; however, where the children had been assigned to other, schools, there ought to be adjustments in the per pupil allocations for those scfiools; that in terms of some savings in utilities, custodial and clerical services, he neededsto know if they wanted him to actually pull the money out precisely so that it ctmld be allocated .for a specific thing, or whether, for example, in the^utility accounts' they would"say to him to not take out the utilities for four schodfis in case the estimates were high or low. In response to Dr. Payzant asking for some direct ion, it was expressed that the schools were.closed and they knew how it was going to impact those schools that the students Would-be going to in that they would get their proportionate share; that the rest of it should be cut offand built into the budget using the criteria that had been used all along.
Reference was made to attendance clerks in ThBschools and their performing the major function as had been spelled out, bytlthe fT'exllbj 1 ity that had been provided for schools to consider them as sometimes naTf timef'rull time, or whatever allocation was needed by a particular school.,
A major shift in the. budget was noted with regard to the upkeep of grounds whereby it was proposed to move away from the approach of the care of grounds by each school custodian having the responsibility, to the purchase of equipment to be used by several ground crews that would do nothing but take care of the lawns and grounds around the various schools, with supervision by a full-time foreman for each crew; that the increase would initially come in the purchase of equipment; that it would be bought for.the district to be used by the various teams; that the approach was being piloted in one region of the district this summer and if the equipment purchase was approved, it would be implemented districtwide; also, with the centralized ground crews, supervision would be easier as well as the monitoring of equipment repairs.
Discussion also included that of the upkeep of stadiums; that a custodial person is assigned to a school whfere there is a stadium connected and stadium boards also maintain additional help in some instances to do s.ome of the work.

SPECIAL BUSINESS
In responding to an inquiry about how athletic equipment was purchased and if anyone had xlone a preliminary estimate on the cheerleading uniforms, Dr. Payzant stated that some equipment is purchased with the school making the determination to use some of its per pupil allocation for athletic equipment; that the bulk of the athletic equipment is purchased from the school's activity fund, with revenue generated from projects of selling things, gate receipts revenue, etc.; that the allocation for cheerleader uniforms had been budgeted in the account for high schools and there would initially be guidelines written so that each school would get the same number; that by Board action each cheerleader was to get two uniforms, one for winter and one for summer.
Presentation of Proposed 1982-83 Budgets cont'd
Dr. Payzant called the attention of the Board to the Operations Directors accounts noting that a substantial portion of the increase was to begin a furnitute replacement program at the three levels - elementary, middle school arid high school,
After all of the accounts had been covered, Dr. Payzant suggested that if board members had questions, to call him or Mr. Ginn and they would follow up and get the information for them. Mrs. Hill commented that on Monday, June 21, 1982, a regular meeting would be held at which time interested persons could appear at the hearings section of the agenda and raise questions with respect to the budget. Responding*to whether or not he felt comfortable with the budget, Dr. Payzant stated that it v^as a much different picture this year than the last, and if you would go to the revalue side of the ledger the district was in reasonably good shape, whereby they were not a year ago; that when you were growing it was a much more pleasurable process to participate in the planning and there was a different psychology in approaching*the budget and everything else; that he and staff had to make cuts from a lot of the requests that were made but it was nothing like the pressure the year before. He added that just as it had turned around from last year, it could be turned around again next year, so they ought !not get smug or complacent about it all; that he did intend to keep working to improve the format and the data base and so on; that there were some areas that needed improvement and he would continue to do that each year.

Dr. Payzant commented that the Board had set a Special Meeting for Monday, June 28, 1982 at 5:00 p.m. to consider end-of-fiscal year business and the 1982-83 budgets; that he was in the process of making corrections and additions to the workbook which he would send to the board members later in the week and updated printouts on the proposed budget. He also distributed copies of his Budget Message which was given at the June 16 meeting to members of the Board.
Consideration of 1982-83 General Fund and Building Fund Budgets at Special Meeting
Dr. Payzant presented to Dr. Hamm a Certificate of Appreciation from the Board of Education for outstanding and dedicated service, and a gavel which he stated was to remind him of the year that he had iserved as President.
Presentation Superintendent
Ms. Al icestrong-Davis, Di rector of Personnel Services, was asked by Dr. Payzant to share an^award which she had accepted in Tulsa from the Oklahoma Rehabilitation Association. After passing the plaque to members of the Board for them to.see,' Ms. Davis stated that the Oklahoma City Public School District was selected as the state large employer by the Oklahoma Rehabilitation Association for the particular award; that they were one of two employers in the state who received the award; that the award was received at the Oklahoma Rehabilitation Assocation's annual conference at Tulsa. She added that the district employs sixty-seven handicapped or employees who are in some form of rehabilitation type programs and /there are thirty-two co-op employees who participate throughout the district in the schools and in the cafeteria at the Service Center in a rehab program, and there are thirty-five employees who are in the handicapped category.and they were very proud to receive the award. The Board was informed that a request for a Lev'eT—III Grievance Hearing had been received and they would want to set a time before the end of the meeting to hear that grievance.
-DrP'l^yzBiTt continued with the following remarks: , 1. Disposition of Schools Voted to Close I have indicated to you that I have'received a number of inquiries about’the Board's intention with respect to disposition of the schools that the Board has voted to close, and unless youj],jve~me’~Trrs±rttetions to the contrary, I was planning to proceed as we have with other surplus property during the past eighteen months; namely, to ^sk-My. Shepard to seek three appraisals of each property and then to advertise the property for. sale based on a public bid. When the public bids are received, if there is not a "bid. that the Board believes appropriate to accept, then the next step that the Board has>-;taken in the past is seeking the possibility of some kind of a lease/purchase agreeme^“^nd./f?^,iling that, a lease arrangement on surplus property. If you have other thoughts or -d-i-f-ferent instructions, I would welcome having them this evening or if you*warit-tojyi4fik about it further, tell us to hold up until you have had more time to think.'"
Mrs. Hermes■expressed a concern about the handicapped center (Carver) and wanted to know if any of the schools scheduled to close would be workable for that program, to which Dr. Payzant responded that Sunset and Ross were not sufficiently large to_ accommodate the Carver program; that Mayfair was looked at a year ago as a possibility and at that time was rejected by the staff at Carver as not being an appropriate building; that he had asked the appropriate staff to check with some Carver people about the possibility of Nichols Hills and they were going to go ahead and dothat; pending response from people at Carver and in special education, they would either consider that as an option or move ahead with disposal of the property. He added that in essence he was saying the're was the possibility of Nichols Hills being used but they would have to do some more checking with some of the special education people before giving a definitive answer.
2.
Preschool Survey
Another item which you addressed at the meeting while I was away involved a preschool survey and I have a couple of questions to ask you that need answering to give me further direction on which way to go. It seems to me that it will be more difficult to try and do a survey at this time of the year rather than when school is in session again and parents are perhaps thinking more about school

Preschool Survey cont'd and this kind of issue. We can go either way. If we would do some kind of a survey how we would, have to rely totally on the U. S. Mails, and if we were to survey the entire elementary school population in the district, that would be a fairly expensive undertaking unless it was your intention that we do some kind of random sampling rather than attempt to survey everyone. So I have a question about timing, whether your expectation is that we move ahead and try to do it now or wait until school is in session; whether you had in mind the surveying of all elementary school parents; a random sample of elementary school parents, or perhaps only those parents with children in schools where space would be available for a program. The other matter that I am not totally clear on is whether you mean by preschool just the preschool component of the program or whether you are talking about day care as well, and that will be important to have clarity on because of the way in which we cast the questionnaire. So if you have some further thoughts or directions, then I would be better able to move to the next step on planning a survey.
Mrs. 'Darrel 1'stated that her concern was primarily for after school or extended day which would perhaps address the lady's question who spoke about the fifth year centers, where there were a lot of latch-key children in the district that perhaps if there were extended day programs, those children could remain until such time that their parents were at home; that on the preschool, in her mind it was not something that they had to move immediately on for the next school year; that she was concerned about it in^terms of future planning for growth and she would not have a problem with the survey being done after school started if there was some way they could attempt to assays the need for extended day programs which was an immediate concern of hers and if there was any way they would be able to put maybe a couple of those in place for next year even though she did not know how they could really do it without utilizing the mails and all of that. She added that it might be if there had been some concern expressed prior to now that the staff could perhaps follow up or give them sorjie direction; otherwise, they might ihave to wait until school started.
Dr. Payzant responded that if they were talking about extended day care or after-school care, one factor was not as important, namely that of space, because the space presumably would be available; that it also meant that theoretically they could be talking about surveying all of the elementary schools about interest and he thought they would have to decide whether they could construct some kind of a random sample which would enable them to do the survey during the summer, usirig ithe U.S. Mails or whether they would wait until school opened and then perhaps use actess• < scientific approach but a less costly one and send questionnaires home to the students or use the School Report that would go to all parents in the school district and ‘fhcTude a questionnaire in it as was done on the calendar or some other kind of approach. Commenting further, Mrs. Darrell stated that she thought maybe on the after-school programs, it might’b'e"a more workable situation if the staff could attempt"£o deal with whether or not it would be at all feasible in the different quadrants of the city; whereasr in the northeast community there were only fifth year centers and it might be that there might be some'feasibiTrty~in locating a fifth year center where an after school program could be conducted to where if there were elementary children that lived that area,could be dropped off at that after school program, and by the same token perhaps an elementary school; not at every school but a school that could reasonably accommodate, say,^f^ir percentage of students.
Inquiry was made by Dr. Payzant as to'tow th^Bwould react to, if it could be done, some kind of random sampling procedure, to wh.ich Mrs-. Darrell replied that it would be fine since she thought it would give them a Tait^'fidication.
Dr. Hamm commented that hg wanted to remind the Board that when the program was closed at Willard and was kept open at the other site, West Nichols Hills, and then Edwards was added, at that time there seemed to be a consensus that the next day care/preschool program that would be seriously considered would be one in the south part, of Oklahoma City; that since that time he was aware of some federally funded day care that was available there in the schools, but he thought that still was a good approach to take, especially in view of the fact that they voted to keep day care and preschool. Helf added that-that would be his interest and to caution the Board about the added dimension when they would go to an extended care after school, that kind of program he believed every school-would want and he didn't think they needed a survey for that. Dr. Payzant stated that practically speaking it would be very difficult for the school district to quickly prepare staff run after school, extended day programs in fifty-five or sixty buildings across the district; that it would be a sizable undertaking and he suspected would generate a fair amount of concernSs.from the private day care center people as well; not that it would necessarily be the determining factor but it was not something that they would undertake lightly on that kind of a large scale.
Dr. Hamm additionally commented that he thought another area that would be high on priority for day care and preschool would be in the central city area.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
As a closing statement on the subject, Dr. Payzant stated that he would explore with the ^Planning, Rsearch and Evaluation Department staff the possibility of doing some kind of random sampling which perhaps would make a distinction between preschool programs and extended care or after school care and see what possibilities existed for doing something with that kind of a survey during the summer, and he would report back to the Board both on the feasibility of that approach and what the cost might be and see if they thought it would make sense to proceed in the next few weeks.
Dr. Payzant continued: 3.
Modification of Board Policy I did have a rather extended conversation with Ms. Wall and understand well what she is proposing to you with respect to a modification in Board policy. Essentially, the existing policy just allows transfer for students in grades one through four for the reason of attendance at a licensed nursery or because a babysitter is providing after school or before school care for a student in a particular neighborhood, and what she is asking for is that policy be extended for fifth year center and middle school. In looking at it I found that the practice in the past has been to approve some requests for transfers at the fifth year level although they have not been nearly as many in number as for children in grades one through four, and there has been a strict denial of requests at the middle school level, but on the other hand there have been very few requests. What^the staff and I will do is take a look at that policy and present some suggestions for your consideration at the next board meeting.
4.
Impact of Modifying Board Policy Re Sibling Clause
You requested several meetings ago some additional information on the impact of modifying the Board policy and allowing entering ninth grade students to attend the high schools where their older brothers arid sisters are enrolled if they are different from the high school to which those ninth graders are assigned under the student assignment plan that was approved and implemented by the Board in 1980-81. I put before you this evening a memo with attachment prepared by Pat Watson and her staff to give you the information requested and as you study them, you will see that the memo shows that there aren't large numbers of students, as best we can tell, who would be affected>«ajid the impact on the racial balances in the schools would not be great, but to the extent that it would affect racial balance, it does so in the wrong direction. So it would be my recommendation that you maintain your existing policy which is to require the incoming ninth graders -d^«40-to the newly assigned schools as of the 1980-81 plan. Should you decide not to accept my recommendation, you should be aware that the Board when it adopted the.student assignment plan two years ago indicated that transportation for those studeTrts would only .be- provided those that were grandfathered in under the,old policy through the 1982-83 school year. So this coming school year wil1"'5e the last year that transportation is provided for any students who got in under the sibling clause during the 1980-8VyEmr*eF-anyutther students who would grandfather it in under the old assignment^an. To change that aspect of the policy would be quite cos.tl.y,.because they would be faced with a separate bus going into five or six differerit’ elementary school areas to transport a handful of students to ' those high schools. So you <ay want to consider formal action on that issue at the next board meeting. x'" Referring to the memo, Mrs. Darrell asked~what wa?‘ meani_when it said "wrong direction on racial balance"," if it meant an increase^-ri"jth£ npmbpr of black students?
Dr. Payzant replied that it meant either way, depending on the school; th’at tfe pl an called for the variance no more than, plus or minus, ten percent of the black/other ratio districtwide, and'rin some schools it would increase the black ratio above the cutoff point and in other schools it would increase the white ratio above what it ought to be. He referred to John Marshall, for example, in that it would increase the black ratio, and in the case of U. S. Grant and Southeast it would increase the white and decrease the black. Mrs. Darrell axlded that her concern was whether or not they were ever going to approach reassessing the plan, because as she saw it and as she looked toward the future of the district, unless they were able to from some mystical manner, because of the lack of construction within the boundaries of 1-89, it would continue to be a balancing act, and the balancing act was more adversely affecting some children in some households than it was others; that she could understand the dilemma but was not sure they were attempting to be foresighted enough to project an alternative, which was her concern; because each time they needed to adjust the balance, there were children in the same household split between several schools which she thought was bad. She also stated that she thought they needed to take a look at either a reconfiguration of the grades, a look at the plan, develop a new plan or do something that was futuristic so that they were not forever and continuously adjusting racial balances, because it was already acknowledged that the only stable area in the district was the northeast quadrant of the city, and she thought they would have to take a look at that in some form or fashion; that she was convinced they may not be able to do that but she thought it could be done,
Remarks Superintendent cont'd
331
MINUTES OF MEETING OF JUNE 21, 1982 - CONT'D
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT whether or not it meant they would have to deal with an outside party to try to ^assess metropolitan Oklahoma City, to study the growth patterns, the direction or the redirection, but she did feel that it was an item they needed to address with some futuristic thought put into it so that each year it was not a continuous situation, because she thought it was most unfortunate that children in the same household were split between high schools, all kinds of things, and then the parents are accused of not being interested, and it was somewhat difficult to be a patron at two different high schools or three different highs schools and a middle school, an elementary school and a fifth year center. She closed by stating that she would hope the district would begin to deal with consideration of a different alternative. Dr. Payzant stated that his point was that they had not had to make adjustments for the last two years and the racial balances had remained remarkably stable based on the projections that were made when the student assignment plan was presented and adopted by the Board for implementation two years before in 1980-81, arid although there was some disagreement in administrative staff and among the board members about the student assignment plan, he thought just about everyone agreed that the first priority ought to be stability, which was his concern; that they had achieved some stability in the last two years and it looked like they were not going to make modifications for another year or two, and perhaps even longer'than that, unless the Board decided to do so, and that would be fulfilling a commitment that he and the Board made when they put the current plan into effect, saying that they would not on an annual basis come back and keep modifying student assignments. He added that if they^aid not modify the assignment plan for siblings, in the course of three years, and it would have been the next year if the sibling clause had not been put in the fir^t ^ear, all of the older brothers and sisters would have been up and out and then the younger ones coming up would all be in the same high school and not in different ones.
Mrs. Darrell commented that it might point up the stability on the one hand but it was devastating certain families, and there would be some families that would simply move an address and attend another district; that she did not know immediately what the answer was but she did know to the families that were affected, it was terribly devastating.
As an additional comment, Dr. Payzant stated that for those who had students in two high schools, he knew it could work a hardship; his only point was that if the plan had been adopted without the modification made for siblings that first year, now they wouTd only be a year away from having all of the students coming into high school attending the same high school from the same family; that if they continued to ‘.njpciify the policy, they would run the risk of having that division for several more years; that it might be for a few families'immediately, but they were going to be ensuring that the pattern of allowing siblings to attend school with their older brothers and sisters wo’uT'd perhaps .Jhave an impact on their overall racial balance in the y^ars to come, which might precipitate an earlier need to do a more massive reassignment ’which he thought .most people were not interested in doing because it would be counter to the goal of stab’iTity which they had reaiTy-o^ached in the last two years. Mrs. Darrell s.tated that she would agree, but she would say, however, that she thought there shoultTbe^Some consideration in the-instances where a parent did not want it that way, because there were^a lot of parents who did not think that an eighth grader ought to be at home after schobU-alone, or even a tenth grader, and in those instances where parents were very, very comnritted to those children being in the same high school even if that flexibility was allowed and the’^’arentwas going to be responsible for the transportation, she did think it should be taken Jrito consideration.
Dr. Payzant replied that if they did decide as a board to do that, he would urge them at least to make clear that the transportation would not be provided,and,; if that was their desire, a motion should be made to that effect for action at a future meeting.
PERSONNEL REPORT R. #188 Personnel Approved
It was requested by Dr. Payzant that the Board withhold action on the appointment of the Curriculum Coordinator until after executive session. A motion was then made by Dr. Hamm and seconded by Mrs,. Donwerth for approval of the Personnel Report with the exception as noted by the Superintendent; that the following persons be employed as of the effective date specified, and that contracts or assignment notifications with the appropriate persons therein listed be approved as executed in the name of the district by the Superintendent or person by him designated; also, that other personnel recommendations and information listed be approved.

SPECIAL BUSINESS
In considering the 1982-83 budget, Dr. Payzant commented that he wanted to highlight changes that had been made since it was last discussed by the Board; that there were sevet»aT-changes on the revenue side; a report from the County indicated that the 'projections for ad valorem property taxes would be better than had been anticipated; that he-had reported an average of 2.5% increase over the past five years, and the projection' for the next year was 2.9%, which meant an increase of $380,000.00,..-''
With regard to the 4 mill levy revenue estimate, Dr. Payzant stated that amount had been increased by $40,000.00; that pxi-'fTie'h'otr&e-t^ail er tax, there had been a lot of activity, apparently, recently in the^sale of house trailers and based on the increased revenue obtain^d-frojn that source during the past two months, they were projecting an increase of $110,000.00 in that revenue source for 1982-83; that there was an addition to other sources of income of $1W,OOO.OO anticipated intuition from the preschool/ day care centers and $70,000.00 anticipated in building rentals. On the.expenditure side, Dr. Payzant informed thg. Board~that on Account 560.01, Operating Gas and Oil, it had been increased $ *70/000. OCL-flf anticipation of higher gasoline costs; Account 640.06, Water and Sewer, had‘’b'een increased $59,000.00 in anticipation of increased rates being posed by the City of Oklahoma City; Account 830.05 increased by $24,500.0Q„to cover the cost of leasing data processing equipment for maintenance, library services and supply; and the major addition as the result of the anticipated increase in revenue was a new account, 740.02, entitled Building Repair in the amount of $628,098.00 to further supplement the Building Fund for major repairs to buildings. He added that there were two other small adjustments made in a 130.19 postage account for Washington Center and a 240.01 instructional program-supplies account for Washington Center because there had been no entry made for those accounts for Washington Center; also, there was an addition of $80,713.00 to the 211.00 account to cover the addition of the. teaching principals and assistant principals that would be. assigned as the result of increase in enrollment; and there was an error of $9,054.00 that was discovered in the 213.00 account for teachers' salaries which had been corrected.
Additionally, Dr. Payzant stated that they had itemized reductions made in four accounts, 215.01, Clerical in Schools; 215.03, Lunchroom Aides; 216.05, Media Aides; and 610.02, Custodial Salaries, as the result of the savings realized from the closing of Mayfair, Nichols Hills, Ross and Sunset.

SPECIAL BUSINESS
R. #198 Approval of 1982-83 General -und and Building -und Budgets
It was moved by Mrs. Brody and seconded by Mrs. Hermes for approval of the following: a.
General Fund operating budget for the 1982-83 fiscal year in the amount of $87,376,610.00.
b.
Building Fund operating budget for the 1982-83 fiscal year in the amount of $3,543,990.00.
Mrs. Hermes inquired as to why Account 740.02 for building repairs was set up separately from the Building Fund, why it could not have been just put into the Building Fund?
Dr. Payzant replied that legally the Building Fund was a seif-contained'fund 'and financed by the 5 mill levy and money could not be added into that fund from another fund; it would have to be spent directly out of the General Fund; that in the case of the Social Security expenses and the workers1 compensation mentioned when the budget was presented, those dollar amounts would be included in the General Fund budget and they would actually be paid out of the General Fund budget even though they would go for personnel who were carried in the Building Fund, and the same thing would apply in the 740.02 account if contracted or other services were used to get the repairs done; they would be paid directly out of the General Fund.
|
As an additional comment, Mrs. Hermes stated that she wanted to thank them for adding some money into an account to be used for the repair of buildings other than what was received from the mill levy. Commenting that she knew the Public’Information Department traveled extensively through the school district, Mrs . Brody expressed a concern about their travel budget., arid asked if in-district travel was provided for other staff people when they used their own cars? Dr. Payzant responded that it was not provided iri the ^Central Office for the most part; that the administrators who travel on district business either use one of the pool cars or they use their own cars and deduct it from their income tax; that most of the in-district travel was provided for people in the bargaining unit, teachers who were assigned to work at more than one site, and the only building administrators who were provided travel expense the past year, which would not be a factor the next year, were those who had paired schools. ' -
After Mrs. Brody asked if the in-district cars were provided for anyone in the’admini. stration who had to travel, Dr. Payzant replied in the affirmative, stating as Tong *-.^as--ttiey were available; that there were three cars available and if six people wanted . to use them, obviously not. ■t
Mrs. Brody then inquired as to if the cars provided were used in "pecking^order or on a "’first come, first served" basis, after which Dr. Payzant stated that he probably wasn't the-best person to answer that; that he suspected it may be done in "pecking" order but he was under the imp^essToiFThcrt—it was done on "first come, first served"; and the Public Information Department’did have ao6ess to those cars. Mrs. Darrell, too, asked-df Central Office administrators received no reimbursement if a car was not avail able,’^and Dr. Payzant repl ied- that in-district travel was not paid for Central Office administrators; that it had not been a priority for allocating resources for that purpose and his^aTgpment-Jtiad always been either use the district cars that were available or deduct it from their income tax for business use which was what most administrators had done. „■ -*
Upon inquiry by Mrs. Darrell with respect to music teachers or consultants that had to move around in the district and carry supplies in their cars, Dr. Payzant stated that those people aid receive reimbursement and were a part of the bargaining unit; that the only administrators that received reimbursement for in-district miles the past year were building principals who were serving two elementary schools and they received reimbursement for the use of their cars traveling between schools.
Responding as to whom staff cars were assigned, Dr. Payzant stated the Superintendent, Executive" and Administrative Assistants to the Superintendent, the two Assistant Superintendents, Director of Business Management; the three Operations Directors had one car that they shared every third week, which was also shared with the Personnel Department; and at Jthe Service Center there were people who were assigned vehicles Director of School Plant Services, Chief of Campus Police, Supervisor of Transportation Supervisor of Supply and Distribution; and Supervisor of Custodial Services. Discussion continued as to the amount of time that administrators at the Central Office and Service Center had to travel on school business in the district, and the fact that the past year was the first time the Operations Directors had any regular access to a vehicle when the one that was assigned to Personnel full time was divided among the Operations Directors and with Personnel using it for recruiting trips as heeded.

R. #199 Approval of General Business Items cont'd
Mrs. Hermes inquired about item 6; could they coritinue to rent space at the low prices and in lieu of rent the insurance would be paid? She stated that after the Attorney General's opinion, she was questioning that it could be done.
Dr. Payzant responded that it was only for the interim period of a month or two while they were in the process of getting the bids in on the possible sale of the property; that with respect to Orchard Park, the bids were due in on July 28, and if the property was not sold as the result of receiving a bid that would meet the standard, then they would immediately negotiate a lease/purchase agreement with the Native American Center or another potential lessee at the fair market value. With respect to the insurance, item 2, Mrs. Darrell asked if they would develop one establishment that would take care of it through some process, to which Dr. Payzant replied that the person who had the insurance for a number of years had declined participation for 1982-83 because of the small number of takers last year, and the particulan^firm named offered basically the same coverage but did not have a local office agff the claims would have to be settled out of Nashville, Arkansas which was not as good perhaps as having the claims settled with a local person. He added that thr“i.nserance'was made available to students and parents, the information was given to them, and then it was completely voluntary as to whether the parents would choose to take the coverage. Mrs. Hill commented that with regard to item B and H of item 6; the Dunjee, Tyler and Whittier properties, that in keeping with the Board's agreement, she believed those should be placed on the market, say, in February, so the bids could be opened and they would know whether there was a purchaser available, because she thought the agreement on the Whittier property was that they were to give the Board some information and she assumed it would be forthcoming. Mrs. Hill indicated that she had discussed her concern with Mr. Shepard.
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes,: yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried.

would be ready for use at the time school begins would not arid they were making arrangements to in from another school so that the children would in the cafeteria until that facility was completed.
Mr. Long, inquiring further as to whether they would use the gym for that purpose, Dr. Payzant added that he was not sure the principal and director of eTdmentary schools had made the final decision whether to actually set it up in the gymnasium or have the children eat in their classrooms, but it would be one or the other. ^concern was expressed by Mrs. Hermes with regard to the "alternate" part of the bid, stating that she did not understand what it was they did not want, after which Dr. Payzant explained that the alternate would be a penalty that would be applied on a daily feasis for every, day taken beyond a cutoff'point by the contractor to..complete the project, and the staff believed that the $23,000 that would be built into the increased cost of the project on the front end would really not be of value in terms of the number of days that might be saved in comp~l^twg-4Jia±_4).roject since it was believed that they could come up with a satisfactory- alternative for feeding the children during the early weeks of the school year before the project was completed.

Committee Report
She then asked Mrs. Hermes to read the report, which was as follows: "Del, Hugh and I met Wednesday (June 23) regarding Tom's (Dr. Payzant1s) 1982-83 salary and fringe benefit package.
"After complete review of the numerous responsibilities with which Tom (Dr. Payzant) is charged, the size of the district, its staff and enrollment, and the expertise which he brings to the district, the committee recommends the following:
a.
A ten percent increase in base salary - this being slightly higher than central office administrators who did not receive a step increase, and somewhat lower than the principals' increase; An increase of $75 for a total of $225 per month for expenses personally incurred on behalf of the district. The $150 amount presently authorized has not increased in two years even though inflation and his expenses have increased.
c.
Monday night we shall urge Dr. Payzant to purchase a rider on his personal insurance policy covering his district automobile to cover other than the liability provided now.
"All other fringes seem to us to be fair and in line with other central office and school administrators."

MINUTES OF MEETING OF JULY 6, 1982 - CONT'D LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING Opening Statement - Mr. Huff
After Mr. Huff ascertained that members of the Board had received various copies of information pertaining to the grievance, he proceeded with an opening statement as follows: This Level III request for an appeal hearing, we are appealing the Level II decision based on several factors.' (He then referred to the Disposition at Level I and at Level II, reading each item as listed.) I hope that we can clarify some things for the Board. We are not disagreeing with the authority or the right of the principal to make extracurricular assignments. That is not the purpose of the grievance. The issue is removing individuals from an extracurricular position. We are grieving the procedure that was used on Mr. Perkins. We are grieving the reasons given for the removal of Mr. Perkins from the extracurricular position as assistant basketball coach at Southeast High School. At the Level II hearing the respondent's position to start with was extracurricular assignments are not covered in Article VIII, Section I; principals do not have to go through the procedure; principals have no obligation to give reasons for removal. That was the original position at Level II. Because of that position a recess was called and after we reconvened the hearing officer ruled, and it is in the Level II decision, that the extracurricular positions are covered under the discipline and complaint article of the contract to the same manner as regular teaching assignments. With that ruling we will show the removal of Mr. Perkins as assistant basketball coach was a disciplinary action by Principal Merideth. The disciplinary action was based upon complaints of four alleged improper actions. The complaints were made by the head toach. We will show that Principal Merideth made no investigation to determine the validity of the complaints.
We w.,tll show that Principal Merideth accepted Head Coach Tucker's verbal report of thecal legations. We will show that Principal Merideth did not giveeproper constderatior to^Qoach Perkins' explanations. We will show that.there was no discussion about the complaints with Mr. Perkins prior to his removal as assistant basketball coach. We will show that no negligence of coaching responsibilities has been verified; no unprofessional conduct has been verified; no just cause has been proven as the basis for the disciplinary action. Opening Statement - Mr. Savage
Mr. Savage presented his opening statement as follows: We will show that the contract was not violated; that the principal does have the authority not to renew the one-year contract of extracurricular assignments. Each contract for an extracurricular assignment where there is additional compensation paid begins with the beginning of the school year and ends with the end of the school year. It is not a continuing contract like a regular teaching position contract; therefore, the principal is under no obligation to make any notification. We requested this year for' principals t‘o make notification if they did not intend to renew a contract for the following year. Principal Merideth did follow the proper procedure as provided in .the negotiated agreement in doing so and he did discuss it and took his action based on the recommendation of the head basketball coach through the athletic director and to him. Mr. Huff referred to a statement by the hearing officer at Level II, Mr. Savage, who ruled that "extracurricular assignments are covered by Article VIIT">ahd askdd him if it meant in the same manner as"'a'regular teaching assignment? Mr. Savage replied that Mr. Huff had asked for a decision on whether or not the extracurricular assignments were covered by Article VIII, which was the only article grieved, and he had answered yes, they were as any other teaching assignments because it specifically spoke to extracurricular assignments; that they had..<decided to do that although it was not specifically stated in the contract, arid he had ruled that way because heknew memos had been sent to principals directing them to notify all of the people who had extracurricular assignments. , -------.

Closing Statement - Mr. Huff
Mr. Huff remarked as following in his closing statement: This grievance being processe and appealed all the way up to the school board bar not been done for trivial reasons. It is not just a matter of trying to create problems for the building principal; it is notvtrying to make any coach look bad, but the procedure in Article VIII, Section I does apply to extracurricular assignments. It says so in the Level II decision by Mr. Merideth. It says it applies in the same way; it is due process procedure. It is extremely important that the Board sense the importance of this and apply-the rulings of Level II about this application, because without it, it means due process does not exist for any extracurricular assignments. The testimony at Level I, Principal" Merideth responded to a specific question - whether or not it was a disciplinary measure. -He said yes and elaborated that it was because of the relationship with the coach, etc. We are not challenging Mr. Merideth's authority or right as principal to make assignments. That has never been an issue. But when reasons are given for removing â– someone, those reasons must be justified under Article VIII, Section I. In Level I, Mr. Tucter zeroed in on it real clear. It is his word against Mr. Perkins. If there is a conflict that existed, it did not have any bearing on the team; it was not known to the team and Mr. Merideth evidently had some knowledge of specific occasions, which in my opinion because he did not follow the Article VIII decision, he allowed many things to go by that he should have been involved in. That doesn't change the fact that it is in the past. The Level II response was to argue that procedure did not apply to this removal. That was the first argument at Level II. You can't
363
MINUTES OF MEETING OF JULY 6, 1982 - CONT'D
LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING use this Mr. Huff or Mr. Perkins because extracurricular isn't covered by this. Closing Statement That is when they recessed and that is when the ruling was made. After that ruling, - Mr. Huff cont'd which I had already given my opening statements about it being a disciplinary measure, from that point on discipline and complaints were not used by the respondent. Obviously, if you use the words discipline and complaint you are using contract terms. So what is being used, a word conflict, which is supposed to be different from complaint. We don't see that and we hope that the Board will recognize that they are the same things. The things that are listed are actions. These conflicts were not verified by the building principal. He felt he had no need to do any investigation, even talk with the person who was being accused. It was simply verbal statements of the head coach. If these things were accurate, they could have been clearly documented the principal could have reams' of paper in his hands to justify a decision; there would have been no problems. Mr. Perkins responded to each of the allegations. The allegations at Level I were presented handwritten on a note sheet. Nothing was ever given to Mr. Merideth in writing. How could he investigate some of these things if he didn't know for sure. I suspect that is why some of those were left off, because his note, did not include all of them. No investigations were taken. There was no discussion with Mr. Perkins. The allegations were a result__ ; that is where the allegations came out, Level I. They were not said in the April 15 letter and I do not know how to verify for the Board. But the April 13 document is new to us; just as new as those written recommendations were at Level I. Those were the first things that were presented. And if you look at them, they support one another - the letter from Mr. Tucker to Mr. Dewhirst, to Mr. Merideth. I used the word at Level II of selfserving; that these things were developed as a self-serving method. The response on May Tj related to only four of the allegations; two of them were dismissed as not having Substance. No conflict existed between Mr. Tucker and Mr. Perkins. There were no arguments ever offered; even Mr. Tucker in his testimony did not offer any arguments, There was no conflict. It did not cause a division with the team. This thing about directing-traffic during the game and Mr. Perkins speaking out loud or saying things in conflicting with Mr. Tucker, that was never discussed at Level I or Level II. The elaborations are coming here and there. Mr. Perkins did not publicly disagree about offensive or defensive strategies or anything else.—That did not happen. Mr. Perkins maintains that there were no discussions. How could you have verified that? If the contract had been followed, there would have been verification. The principal could have been involved with those decisions. It could be verification. Now it doesn't exist. It is simply as Mr. Tucker said at Level I’ It is the head coach's word versus the assistant coach's word. And that really in essence means it is the head coach that is doing the terminating, the removing from office, not the principal. In spite of these alleged conflicts the team went ahead and was successful; they won the State 4A Basketball Championship. Mr. Perkins takes some pride in that. Two years in a row he has been involved with a team that was state champion. There really is no reason at this point to assume these were alleged situations. If they were to continue, then it could be documented and something could be done about it. But to assume that Mr. Perkins can't work effectively with Coach Tucker simply on the word of Coach Tucker; that is not contractually correct. The procedure was violated. The allegations have not been substantiated. That has been the main issue all along. No just cause has been shown for the removal. All we are asking is that Mr. Perkins be allowed to continue. If he is not allowed to continue, we would ask that the Board would atleast uphold the grievance and deny the relief sought. That has been done a lot of times. But the point is, the contract is supposed to resolve and keep this type of problem from developing and it can, but.it is not going to be done until the school board makes decisions that the administrative staff knows that'they are going to have to follow in this particular area. '
Mr. Savage's closing statement was as fol lows* Fi rst*of.^'l 1, there has been much said tonight about the removal of Mr. Perkins as asstSta-nt basketball coach. He was notified by the principal that he would not be assigned as assistant basketball coach next year.' However, he was riotified prior to that time that his contract as assistant basketball coach had expired and, as I brought out in my questioning, Mr. Merideth was under no obligation to even say anything to Mr. Perkins about his assignment for the following year. Mr. Perkins, under the contract, has the right to apply for any extracurricular position that he so desires by September 1 of the next school year. That is clearly stated in Teaching Assignments and Duties, Article VI, Section 3 of the contract. As far as the alleged violations of this particular part'of the contract, Article VII, Teacher Rights, they have alleged that we have violated Paragrafch.A, Section 1, that says "no teacher shall be disciplined, reprimanded or reduced in compensation without just cause." I think the testimony given by the principal and also the bead basketball coach tonight has made it clear that there was just cause for the action that was taken, whether it was considered disciplinary action or just action’that was taken which they felt was necessary in order to best meet the needs of the basketball program at that school. We have righted him with due process clearly throughout this procedure. When he was notified by Coach Tucker and Mr. Merideth that he would no longer be the assistant basketball coach for the next school year, he requested in writing and he did receive in writing the reasons. As the result of his receipt of those reasons in writing, he did file a Level I grievance. There seemed to be some six areas of conflict that existed. Two of those the principal felt in his decision at Level I were not relevant to the situation, but felt like the other four were just cause in the position that he had taken. We say that in the
Closing Statement - Mr. Savage

Discussion
contract where they alleged that we have violated that if there is no official action .to be taken or written record of complaint, it will not be made part of the teacher's file. I so ruled at Level II that none of this material would be placed in the teacher's personnel file, either in the principal's office or here at the central administration building; however, it would as a matter of record be part of the grievance file which is kept separate from those files. The contract states clearly what we are talking about when we are talking about complaints. Complaints are from persons external to the official line of command. In this case, it was the coach, athletic director and principal. These were not complaints. A complaint comes from another employee about an action taken by a teacher or a decision made by a teacher, or student or player, or even one of the parents. They acted completely within the line that the principal at Southeast had established and that is common throughout our high schools. They work with their athletic directors, head coaches, and assistant coaches. I feel very strongly that if a supervisor has some feeling about some actions that someone that they are responsible for supervising is taking and talked to their supervisor, that is not a complaint. You are simply trying to work out a normal operation of supervision in order to have an orderly process in whatever program you may have, whether it be basketball, football, or any other activity that you might have in the school. We use the same situation here in the central administration building, from any employee through their supervisor to the next level of supervision, on up to the Superintendent and eventually to the Board. And I feel that these are not complaints as we are discussing here in the contract. They have been considered as complaints by the grievant. I feel like it is part of the normal supervision and responsibility of th$ head basketball coach, athletic director, and principal of Southeast High School, and > request that the grievance be denied.
i L-
After Mrs. Hill asked for consideration of the grievance, Mrs. Donwerth stated that for clarification she wanted to know if no conflicts had been listed and Mr. Merideth failed to renew Mr. Perkins' contract at the beginning of the school year, would the grievance have been filed?
Mr. Huff replied that it was his understanding that the extracurricular positions ended at the end of the year, which was not the reason used; however, if the position was filled by someone he felt was not qualified as he, Mr. Perkins could probably have filed a grievance; that before the grievance was filed,', he had asked for the reasons why he would not be assigned that position the following year and was told there seemed to be conflict, which was why the grievance was filed.
■Further concern was expressed by Mrs. Donwerth as to if they should rule in favor of the grievance, would it mean the principal would be directed to rehire Mr. Perkins at the beginning of the year? It was then suggested by Mr. Huff that the grievance could be upheld on the grounds of violation of the contract and the relief sought could be denied. He further explained their position in the matter, stating that he was not sure it aiitomatically meant that Mr. Perkins was asking for the position back and he was not sure that granting the grievance meant he would get the position. Mr. Savage commented that Mr. Huff had made the point that they could grant the grievance bjjt deny the relief sought, but by the same token if they denied the grievance and the relief sought, he could still apply; that the contract provided that any teacher could apply for the position.
Inquiries were made by Mrs. Darrel 1 With regard to coachesr contracts expiring; how long had the procedure been going on; what were the_assigned duties of an assistant coach; if it included the kinds of behavioralTc&nfljpt'S that they had been dealing with in the grievance such as staying on the bench during a game and the type of attire that should be worn? She expressed a concern about anytime people were not communicating sufficiently, there should be an ongoing flow of communication. Responding, Mrs. (Betty) Mason stated that the'assistant coach was to work under the direction of the head coach; that when people became coaches and assistant coaches in a high school, it was perceived that person had experience in the total coaching arena at some other time and knew some things in relation to coaching; that it was left up to the head coach to give directions to the coaching staff as they saw fit, considering the community, the school and the students. She added that it was indicated in the job description that the assistant coach would report and work under the direction of the head coach.
Mrs. Darrell continued by stating her concern as to why the conflict as testified by Mr. Tucker was treated seemingly in a very casual manner; the kind of direction given at the supervisory level; the importance of persons in a supervisory role being informed on certain things, especially the negotiated agreement; and other. She expressed further her interest in the fact that there was never a conference conducted by someone at another level to resolve the so-called conflict.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF JULY 6, 1982 - CONT'D 3
LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING Discussion continued by Mrs. Mason and Mrs. Darrell about the importance of coaches working together as harmoniously as possible in dealing with a small group of youngsters like a basketball team and Mr. Tucker's choosing to not do anything that would affect negatively the attitudes of the team; the sense of fair play between the coaches and the various levels of supervision.; the types of procedures used when there was a conflict arising, and the issue as it related to Section 1, Article VIII of the negotiated agreement.
Discussion cont'd
Mrs. Hermes inquired about the ruling of the hearing officer at Level II with regard to extracurriculuar activities falling under Section 1, Article VIII of the contract, and indicated that it appeared they had not followed the rules of the contract. Mr. Savage, who had served as the hearing officer, responded that it had been questioned whether Article VIII applied in extracurricular activities and he said it did because in Section 2, it had been referred to and was also included in Section 1, and in looking at the article as a whole, it did give the teacher due process right.
Mrs. Hermes and Mr. Savage continued to discuss the concern of following the contract and interpretation of conflict as opposed to complaint. An interest was expressed by Mrs. Brody that it appeared that the sports area was being treated differently to other areas and she wondered if there had been conflict, say, in the science department, if the same rules would have applied, since each would be a teacher bound by a contract. There wa^-’also additional discussion on compensation being involved and playing on the words of conflict and complaint; a concern to not tie the principal's hands with regard to rehiring every coach at the end of the year; the "conflict" of both coaches having applied for- 'the same position at one time and the level above was not monitoring and working with the two people.
As a closing statement before making the motion, Mrs.-Darrel 1 stated that perhaps if the} could foresee that there would be a sufficient coach's slot in some of the other schools, the grievant would still have an opportunity to maybe deal with those, but procedurally and bcised on the section noted, the negotiated contract was not followed.
Mrs. Darrell then made the follwoing motion which was seconded by Mrs. Hermes. I would move that the grievance be upheld and that any of these items that were alleged against the grievant that could be considered as poor performance not be. made any part of his record that would prohibit him in applying for a coaching position at any other school, and that he be afforded flexibility on his teaching assignment to seek a coaching position.
r
R. #207 Grievance Upheld, Relief Sought Denied
Mrs. Darrelladded that what she was saying was to uphold the grievance and deny the relief sought but she also wanted to clarify that there be flexibility, because at that point it could pose a problem. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody; yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried. At this time the president called for a 30-minute'recess. Mrs. Hill reconvened the meeting at 8:30 p.m. and'cohtfmied with the agenda as printed.
COMMITTEE REPORTS - BOARD MEMBERS' COMMENTS
Mrs. Hill commented that the Board would be filling the District 6 vacancy on Monday evening, July 12, at which time they would meet at 5 p.m. to interview applicants for that position; that the deadline for receiving applications would be Friday, July 9, at 1 p.m. She also stated that at the last board meeting, as part of the Superintendent's contract, the Board did evaluate him, mainly on his working relationship with the Board; that the Superintendent is evaluated twice a year; that they did feel like they had a very good relationship with the Superintendent and that he was doing a very good job. Mrs. Hill added that Dr. Payzant was a panelist with theNational School Boards Associatior and it was intersting to note some of the comments that were made when attending meetings; that at a recent meeting which She attendedin Washington, D.C. she received a copy of an evaluation sheet and it was most interesting to read some of the comments with regard to his presentation such as "Reactor Payzant was both practical and theoretical, most helpful; may be the only one familiar with recent and current research:

Some have great content but are presented in a manner of not to hold the audience's attention." She noted that in traveling it was easy to discern that Dr. Payzant was well recognized; that it was interesting to get the evaluations from the sessions at the national convention.
Mrs. Hill also stated that as board members they always welcomed the opportunity to meet with members of other urban boards and at the meeting in Washington she did have that opportunity; that they might want to consider cutting some of their time at the national meeting and going to the workshop in June; that a lot of the urban boards around the country do send several members to the convention; that it was time to do some lobbying in Washington and she thought it would be a good time to give that some consideration. She added that she did get to visit with Senator Nickles very briefly and he told her he would not support Tuition Tax Credits; and he mentioned that he had met with !Dr. Payzant and spoke very highly of him, so she felt he was aware of things that were going on in Oklahoma City. As a closing statement, Mrs. Hill commented that they did feel that Dr. Payzant was doing a good job and were looking forward to working very closely with him.the next year.

LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS
Oklahoma Industrial Authority vs. Joe Barnes, County Treasurer
3. ÂŁ
We received on Friday, July 2, 1982, an application for leave to pay money into court in a lawsuit styled Oklahoma Industrial Authority versus Joe Barnes, County Treasurer. This application relates to approximately a million dollars that was gathered in 1979 as in-lieu payments, in lieu of ad valorem taxes. The Attorney General had ruled that the provisions of the statutes which provided for these in-lieu payments were unconstitutional and the Industrial Authority is attempting to tender this money to the court and ask the court to deal with the paying it out to the governmental entities which may be entitled to it. There are approximately twelve (12) cities and school districts and the Metropolitan Library Commission which are listed as entities which may be entitled to claim such funds.
Attorney's Report cont'd
Since this was received too late to put it on the agenda, I would like the Board to consider as an item of new business directing me to research this matter and, if necessary, intervene in the matter to seek the claimant of the school district's just portion of this sum of money.

When Mrs. Brody asked about the benefits derived from the Oklahoma State School Boards Association, Dr. Payzant replied that many of the benefits were intangible and much of what they did. had a statewide focus and if Oklahoma City and Tulsa did not participate in that activity it would give the impression, whether it was perceived or real , that the big cities did not care about the other districts around the state and that would be the way .he thought lack of participation would be read by others.

Status of Federal Funds hi
Just to draw your attention to the memos that were included in your packet on the status of federal funds from Chapter I and Chapter II, I hope you found them informative. The information changes almost weekly concerning what we will actually receive in real dollars. There are two recent decisions which will have an impacton us, particularly in the area of Chapter I funding for 1982-83, if the decision of a court and other jursidictions stands requiring the Department of Education to use the 1980 census rather than the 1970 census for determining the allocation to the states for Title I students. In Oklahoma we would do better if the.1970 census were used than we will if the 1980 census is used. So there may be a fifteen percent cutback from funds received last year if that 1980 census decision stands.

U. S. Grant - FBLA
U. S. Grant is following a tradition of electing students from its Future Business Leaders of America local chapter to national offices. I had a call from Al Fuller who is the teacher-sponsor of the FBLA activities at Grant and he said that Lance Smith was elected national vice president at the recent conference. And you will recall that Forrest Pollock last year was president of Future Business Leaders of America., So another student from Grant is making his mark in winning a national office in an important student organization. Mrs. Hill confirmed with Dr. Payzant that he would be sending a congratulatory letter to the student on receiving the honor.

R. #213 Approval of Personnel Report cont'd
Before taking the vote, Mr. Long indicated that he-wantg^to make a comment, wherein he stated that he was opposed to the policy that was '-presently being used in the Personnel Office, in letting people apply for a position which would constitute a promotion and then letjzhat position that they were holding be filled before they were hired in the new position that they were applying for, particularly if there were more than one person applying for the job. He further stated that he could not understand how they could hire a person for a position in a place where there were several people applying and assume that they had already got the job before it was approved. Mr. Long then referred to the fact that names had been presented to them in executive session but were not submitted for their approval until that evening as they appeared in the agenda and he was going to vote against the entire report because he thought they were using a faulty practice.
In responding, Dr. Payzgnt stated that: he was not sure he understood what Mr. Long was saying but the procedure that was normally followed with teaching or non-teaching classified assignments that'were administrativein nature, after the vacancies were posted and'people were interviewed, they had the authority to go ahead and offer the jobs that were officially acted upon by the Board when they appeared on the Personnel Report; that with respect to administrative assignments on positions of assistant principal or above, his practice was to go through the selection procedure after the
374
.. C0NT,D
PERSONNEL REPORT
R. #213 Approval of Personnel Report cont1 d
job had been posted arid then discuss informally with the Board in executive session , his recommendations for those positions; that the normal practice was that after that informal discussion, to go ahead and let him decide whether to extend an offer of a position, which was then confirmed by official Board action at the next board meeting in the official personnel report; that he could see a situation after an executive session the first Monday of the month having discussed the recommendations of the Superintendent that based on that discussion he could indicate to a candidate that a job offer would be forthcoming and that they would be carried on the next personnel report two weeks hence. He added that they had done that repeatedly over the years and on in-district candidates it might not be important in terms of timing, but on out-of-district candidates they would have to be offered a position before they would know if they would accept and it could be run in the personnel report, so it was important to extend the offer before the final action was taken by the Board. Mr. Long continued to express his concern by stating that discussing the employment of someone was not the same as approving it, and he had understood that a person to be employed by the school system, the Board had to approve every job that was filled; that at the last meeting they were told of a position that was filled and upon inquiry found out that the person who had held it before had stepped aside because that person was applying for an administrative job which would be a promotion, and it didn't come up until two weeks later for approval.and there was a lapse of time when the person did not have any job at all. He mentioned, also, that there were several people who had applied for the jobs who were not supposed to know until the Board received the finaT list for approva’l which ones had been proposed.
In ,ÂŁ11 additional response, Dr. Payzant stated that the alternative then would be for him to discuss with the Board in executive session at the previous meeting before the person's name appeared on the personnel report, ,the recommendations that would be forthcoming; that he had established the practice which was not sure was new with him, of giving the Board the opportunity to hear his recommendations two weeks before the names appeared on the official personnel report. He also commented that another way would be to do it all in the same evening, have the personnel discussed in executive session and then the Board come out of executive and take action that night rather than two weeks hence; however, there was some feeling on the part of some board members in the past that if the names were listed on the personnel report On the same evening in which the Board was to take action, that the Board really wasn't given any flexibility to have discussion with the Superintendent before the names were on the printed agenda, and that was why there was just discussion and no action on the evening that the Superintendent presented the names in executive session. Still expressing his concern, Mr. Long stated that he was uncomfortable with the system that was being used because he did not think it was fair or right to promise a person a promotion and go ahead and fill the position with somebody else, and then two weeks later give them the position that they applied for, which was assumed all the time that they already had, and he did not think it was a businesslike-way of doing things. Dr. Payzant added that it did not happen until he had the opportunity to discuss the selection procedure and final candidates and his recommendation with the Board.
Explaining further his interest, Mr. Long stated that the last time they had an executive session, they filied a position that had been advertised from out-of-state and everything was alright, and they approved it. Not calling a name, he referred to a person who he inquired was in a position before and stated that he did not know if she had quit, moved out of town or what happened... After being told by Dr> Payzant that she had resigned, he replied that she had-resigned to take another job. Dr. Payzant commented that the person had requested reassignment but had made her decision to resign from the position of secondary curriculum coordinator. Ms. Davis, Director of Personnel Services, added that the coordinator of secondary curriculum had sent her a letter several months prior indicating that she wanted to; be transferred or reassigned out of that position; she talked with her personally, giving her the reasons, at which time she was asked to officially send a letter, which she did wherein she asked to be considered for assistant principal vacancies for which she would'qualify, but if shewerenot selected, she still wanted to be reassigned from that job even if it meant going back to the classroom; that after she was assured that she did have the minimum requirements of a year's administrative experience, she applied for the assistant principal position and was ranked and rated along with everyone else and had been selected for one of the positions in a middle school.
After Mr. Long indicated that he did not know about it and Ms. Davis responded that it had been discussed in executive session that the position was created because of her request for reassignment, Mr. Long, again, stated that he did not know about it and mentioned that there was another case where that did not happen; the person did not resign, and it was already assured that the person would take a promotional job; thdt he would talk with them some more about it but he thought there should be a better way to do it, and he wanted to explain why he was going to vote against the Personnel Report.

Earlier this year when the Board-'a^opted their goals, I was not a member of the Board of Education. In visiting soW/pf our,schools throughout the district and in visiting with some of our patrons, I.have-a--concern I would like to voice.
We have buildings that are exceptionally clean ami-project a feeling of school pride. I commend the people responsible for those facilities. Others, unfortunately, appear to tie extremely neglected and, quite frankly, ’disgraceful in their appearance^ particularly as far as cleanliness goes. I have been in some schools that I would not have used the rest room facilities and was appalled that we should expect our children and staff to do so.
,
We have asked the people of the district to vote bonds to repair our schools. They did not see fit to respond favorably. It is my opinion that it would be a show of good faith to the community and others if we utilized the manpower and means we have available to put forth a concentrated effort to "clean house", so to speak, by emphasizing pride in our schools by making certain that every building facility is as cleaq. as humanly possible. I also feel this is extremely conducive to a good educational atmosphere. It the people in charge and responsible in this area do not comply, it is my suggestion that they be replaced by those more conscientious.

NEW BUSINESS Motion
Statement Motion for Consideration at July 19 Meeting
Therefore, I would like to move that we as a Board of Education adopt as one of our primary goals and top priorities for the 1982-83 year a move toward an ongoing cleanliness campaign in our schools, with the emphasis on "Pride in our Schools" filtering from the Board to the students and into the community. Further, that we direct our Superintendent to instigate a program perhaps consisting of Dr. Oliver Stripling, Director of School Plant Services; Ms. Mason, Director of High Schools; Vern Moore, Director of Middle Schools and Fifth Year Centers; Dr. Williams, Director of Elementary Schools; the Building Administrators, patrons, students and other necessary components to see that this goal is implemented. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Darrell.
Comments Mrs. Hill.
Mrs. Hill commented that they had been looking at some of their policies; that there was one on School Closings which was deleted for a while and it would be necessary to write that policy; that in visiting with the Superintendent she had found that he would like some guidelines as to what might go into that policy. She asked if board members had given any thought as to what might go into the policy, such as did they want to use the same criteria that was used in the consideration of school closings, and how often would they look at schools; would it be a yearly task or would it be if the schooT was on the list for one year, it would not be looked at for another year or two? She indicated that some of the items as stated was some of the direction that the Superintendent wanted, and the Board might want to leave the policy out and give it some thought for next time and give him some direction on it.
Mrs;. Hill also mentioned that in view of Dr. Hamm no longer being a member of the Board, and who was their representative on the Board of Directors of the Oklahoma .State School Boards Association, it would be necessary to appoint someone to serve in that capacity. She stated that she would hope that one of the members would volunteer. HEARINGS None. EXECUTIVE SESSION

I have not yet gotten the information requested at the last meeting on the Living Word Academy and the status of the trust leases to that entity and I should have a report on th&t by the next meeting.

LEGAL REPORT .Another School Land Commission Lawsuit
Attorney's Report
I passed out a letter from the attorney for the Oklahoma State School Boards Association pertaining to another School Land Commission lawsuit. This suit primarily relates to whether or not farm loans had yet been approved but not disbursed prior to the Supreme Court decision should be processed. I would recommend that the district take the same posture that it has in the other suit to authorize me to enter an appearance in that case and monitor the case through the pleadings and at such time I believe it might be in the district's best interest to actively participate at some point, to do so. To review with the Board what has transpired before we did participate at the Supreme Court level, we did some extensive briefing in the process that led to the decision of the Supreme Court that the Commission's actions were unconstitutional. We have entered an appearance in the Oklahoma County court action that has been going on but in that process have monitored the progress of the litigation and have not taken an active role. I believe that such a process would be the best in terms of protecting the district's interest without incurring significant legal fees unless absolutely required.
Mrs. Brody stated that in reading the Oklahoma State School Boards Association letter briefly, she would rest her case and her opinion of the State School Boards Association, after which she made a motion that the legal firm be authorized to enter into the case *and continue the monitoring of the School Land Commission.
The moLJfn was seconded by Mrs. Darrell.
R. #224 Attorneys Authorized taiEnter Into Case Re School Land Commission
For clarification, Mrs. Darrell asked if it were not the Oklahoma State School Boards Association V/ho would not enter into the School Land Commission case in the beginning?In response, Mrs. Brody referred to the negative note as included in the letter with regard to joining in the suit. On roll call, the votes.were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried.
Mrs. Darrelrinquired about the Star School explosion settlement, as to what was the anticipated timeline on the court's action? Mr. Bleakley stated that he thought there was going to be substantial maneuvering among the various plaintiffs in that action for their share of the insurance proceeds; that there were thirty to forty plaintiffs in that action and they would be involved in the process of working with the court on how the insurance proceeds would be divided, and that could get pretty lengthy, unless the court would seek to speed the proces.s-.4ip.
When asked by Mrs. Darrell if there was something they could do to speed things up on the settlement, Mr. Bleakley saidhe thought something that might be urged on the court would be to deal with the actual damages incurred by the parties such as medical expenses and suchs and then leave the reserve to other damages that weren' t directly identifiable to out-of-pocket expenses; that a lot of it was up to the plaintiffs involved and it was going to be-a very complicated process; that he was hopeful the court could come up with a procedure perhaps through an arbitrator or some sort of marshal of the court to deal with the process and, speed it up in a summary process.
After further questioning by Mrs. Darrell as W his- in.dj.Gtftion regarding the case being expedited, Mr. Bleakley further stated that he thought once the action had been filed, which should be at any day and he had not received a file copy from the attorney for the insurance company and all of the people were served, he thought they could start taking everyone's opinions on what their positions were going to be on it and probably have some report back as to how complicated the process appeared. Mrs. Darrell concluded her expressed concern by stating that she would certainly be interested in the progress of that action and if it became necessary that the district file something or do something just to indicate their position with the legal action being facilitated, she would like for them to be able to do that, because all of those people were dealing with a definite hardship, especially on the medical bills, and so, forth. She added that she would appreciate the attorney keeping the board up to date on the action.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
R. #225 Professional Trip Approved
A motion was made by Mrs. Darrell and seconded by Mrs. Brody to direct the following person to attend a conference as indicated: At School District Expense
(a)
Maridyth McBee, Research Associate, Planning, Research and Evaluation, Seminar on Multivariate Statistics, Boulder, CO, August 9-13, 1982.
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried. Remarks Superintendent
Dr. Payzant reported: 1.
Summary of Attendance
In your packet of materials, you received a summary from Louise Dutcher in the Planning, Research and Evaluation office of the attendance for the school district for 1981-82, and the total attendance was 91.1% A.D.A. (average daily attendance) of membership or enrollment, which was exactly the same percentage as in 1980-81. Youwill recall that in 1980-81 there was a significant gain (fyer 1979-80 as the result of the effort that the district made to increase ^attendance. This plateau is one which we can be pleased to have reached in the ^•Xense that it shows progress from two years ago, but I still think there is room , 'for improvement, and with additional attention in the coming year I would hope that in 1982-83 We could raise that percentage even higher.
2.
Report - Building Repairs Account I am working with various staff members to pull together a report and recommendations to bring to you on the use of the 1ine'item in the General Fund budget that was added this year for building repairs, and I hope to have that report and recommendation for you within several weeks. I can tell you at this point that repair and replacement of roofs on school buildings will be the highest priority and will probably represent the greater portion of the dollars recommended for expenditure from that building repairs account.
3.
Statement of Understanding - Sunbeam Family Home
.Also in your packet, I gave you a copy of a memo of statement of understanding that the district has worked out with Sunbeam Family Home trying a different approach to providing educational services for the students who reside at that home. For those of you who are not familiar with the services provided by Sunbeam, it is a residential home for young people, The average stay may only be two to three months, so that there is a high degree of turnover. While the young people are residing at that home/“they--attend Oklahoma City Public Schools. By providing a teacher to work on-site at Sunbeam we will be trying a different approachto. the provision of educational services, and based on our experience this next year determine whether it makes sense to continue to offer services along those lines in the years. ahead or continue to require the students to come to classes at, in this case, Classen High School.
4.
Policy for School Closing
______
Perhaps under new business or at an appropriate/time in the agenda, Mrs. Hill, we could have a little more discussion from the board members on their thoughts about a policy for sdhool closing so that staff and I can proceed to draft something for you to look at.
5.
Request for Level III Grievance 'Hearing We have received a request for a Level III grievance hearing from Mr. Ben Hart today and it will be necessary for you to set a time to hear that Level III grievance and that appropriately could be done under new business.
With regard to the students at Sunbeam Home, Mr. Long asked the Superintendent if he could tell them any^particular reason why the students would not continue to go to Classen; if they were having problems there?
(
388
MINUTES OF MEETING OF JULY 19, 1982 - CONT'D
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Dr. Payzant responded that the request for the pilot program came from Sunbeam, because a number of the students who were going to Classen High School had severe attendance problems, were cutting classes, were exhibiting some behavior problems, and the staff from Sunbeam seemed to be spending more time at Classen High School than anywhere else, so they thought and he and staff agreed to at least try the approach that it might be a more structured, supervised kind of setting to have the educational program take place right there at Sunbeam, and that students might get more out of it particularly since there was such great turnover and they were only there for two or three months. He added that the teacher would be actually assigned out of Emerson Alternative School and the approach that would be used would be instruction in the basic’subjects - reading, math, and social studies, and Sunbeam.had agreed to provide an aide to work with the teacher; provide the facilities and backup support there at the residence.
Mr. Long said that in making an observation, he thought that a student at the Sunbeam Home might be better off in a regular school situation; that he experienced the smaller children from there at one time attending Wilson School and he thought the children received a lot from that; however, he knew there was a different picture for high school students and if they were having trouble with attendance maybe that was a good reason, but he thought there was a lot missed by the student if he attended school where he lived with a group of students in the home rather than with the other children they might come in contact with at a public school. He added that he knew it was experimental and they would probably have to decide later about it, but to him it was the same thing as peeping students in a special education room at any school all day instead of letting Jhem be mainstreamed, which was the current feeling among the special education people tliftt they ought to be mainstreamed; whereas, that decision seemed to be a step backwa rd’. Commenting further, Dr. Payzant stated that he had the same reservations as Mr. Long but it was because of persistent urging by the staff at Sunbeam to try the approach for a year; that he had agreed they would never really know until they tried, but his reservations were exactly the same as Mr. Long; he had expressed them directly to people at Sunbeam ’, and other staff who’had been working w-fth them at Sunbeam had done it also.
Dr. Payzant concluded that part of the discussion by stating they would be given a full report to see how it would go, and that was one reason why he had only made the commitment to try it for a year and not make any, commitments beyond that.
After being asked about the number of students in the program, Dr. Payzant replied that it would range from ten to eighteen or nineteen and would constantly change in number because the population of the home would change from week to week. PERSONNEL REPORT
i
It was moved by Mrs. Brody and seconded by Mrs. Hermes that the persons listed be employed as of the'effective date specified, and that contracts or assignment modifications with the appropriate personsrtherein listed be approved as executed in the name of the district by.the Superintendent or person by him designated; also, that other personnel recommendations and information listed be approved.

These purchases are to be charged to Account,G830.05. Mrs. Hermes inquired about item 1, asking if the vinyl portfolios were for one year's use or expected to last longer than a year, to which Dr. Payzant and Dr. Houston responded that they were expected to last longer than a year, much longer than the paper folders which were presently being used by that department for the purpose which they were using them, the transporting of Tracer reports between the schools and Data Processing.
A concern was also expressed by Mrs. Hermes with respect to item 2, the purchase of 84-passenger buses, stating that since they were much larger buses,'would additional training be provided for the drivers’dr would they have particular drivers on the routes? Dr. Payzant stated that the 84-passenger buses would be new to the Oklahoma City school district but they were not-unusual in a lot of school districts, and Mr. Markham added that surprisingly those particular, buses were three inches shorter than a 66-passenger bus and the wheel base was only 246 inches and they had a shorter turning radius than the 66-passenger buses that they h§d.purchdsed^in the past. Mr. Markham also stated that they had tried them in Oklahoma City;>ffeh'at they did well in turning short corners and things; that some of the drivers took some demonstrators out in the neighborhoods and tried them and they maneuvered better than the 66-passenger buses purchased in the past; that money would be saved by purchasing three buses rather than five; that he did not assume at that time that the.drivers would need extra training, but they would make sure that they got additional training if it was called for. Mrs. Hermes continued to express her interest that with more children on a bus, she would feel more secure knowing that the driver had been with the district for so long that they would have a good driving record.
Mr. Markham replied that he already had a number of drivers requesting to drive the buses and only the very best drivers would be permitted to drive them. After Mrs. Darrell asked about the areas that would be serviced by the 84-passenger buses, Mr. Markham stated that they would be used in the areas where schools were closed.-Nichols Hills.and Sunset, due to the number of students in those areas.

Mrs. Donwerth commented that she had observed a sign on a school bus - if discourteous i or wreckless, this is bus number such and such, please call; and wanted to know what would be wrong with the school district implementing something like that. She added that sometimes people see'a bus that is violating the traffic law or doing something they feel that is dangerous and don't get the bus number. Mr. Markham replied that he and Mr. Shepard had been investigating such a plan and so far it seemed that the only thing they would be able to do would be to put perhaps a sticker on the bumper. He noted that the school bus she had seen was in violation of state school law and he had to call it to the driver's attention; that the State Director of Pupil Transportation had called it to his attention; that there were federal guidelines that regulated the size of the letters and the terms used on the bus as well as color of the letters, and presently the state director was investigating the possibility of them being able to use bumper stickers. Mr. Markham also stated that he would forward a report to Mr. Shepard and he could get with Mrs. Donwerth as soon as they had definite information about it. With regard to item 6, Mrs. Hill stated that the information they received was that they would be with those companies only in buying gasoline and diesel and if another company had it cheaper they could not buy it from them.
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs.^Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and MrSjJlill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried.

GRIEVANCE HEARING
LEVEL
Mrs. Hill stated the purpose of the meeting and as a point of information read from the negotiated agreement as follows:
"If the Union is not the representative of the grievant, a Union representative shall have a right to be present at this hearing and shall be permitted to present the Union's views with respect to the grievance prior to the conclusion of the hearing." After the grievant1s representative commented that the Union representative was out of town and would not appear, Mrs. Hill added that she just wanted to remind the Board of that part of the negotiated agreement. She also reminded those persons participating in the hearing that they should only deal with those sections that had been noted in the grievance as having been violated and not be repetitious in presenting questions for testimony; that there would be time provided at the close of the hearing for board members to ask questions of things that probably were not clear to them. Mrs. Hill then pointed out each item of material that board members had received related to the grievance and referred to additional information that had been submitted by Dr. Hart, at which time she suggested that a few minutes would be allowed for members to read the copy.

Relief Sought: "Position for which he is qualified at Northeast High School, so long as he is free to engage in extra duties in athletics, such as athletic director, head football coach and assistant basketball coach." Opening Statement - Mr. Mitchell
My name is Robert Mitchell and I am an attorney with the law firm of Mitchell, Muldowny, Istook, Singleton and Cassil. I have represented Dr. Hart through the Level I and II hearings and am here today and appreciate the opportunity to be heard. It is good to have the opportunity to present what we believe to be not a grievance in the sense of the word as it is ordinarily used as a substitute for what we believe something that has been done wrong to Dr. Hart. We believe that the procedures have not been followed correctly and that he is certainly entitled to stay at Northeast High School. As a bit of introduction, I think it is important, once again, that we are talking about Paragraph C, which may be the very basis of what we have here and the grievance that we have to present.
It says "transfers shall be granted in order to best meet the educational program of the school and to best meet the needs of the students in that school." And I think the picture is a little larger than just one teacher who doesn't want to leave a schopl, but I think the overall picture of the needs of the school and the students in'That school must be met here too, particularly when we are dealing with those children who are EMH or LD students. I think the history of what has occurred has been before you in a summary form. I wouldn't anticipate that we would have to belabor the point of things that you already know through either witnesses or otherwise, but I think it is important' in order to organize what has exactly happened here, to review that for a moment. Mrs. Tucker had testified and it's, of course, pointed out in her Level I grievance, the exhibit that you have before you, that she first understood that sometime in March there was going to be some kind of change regarding the LD arid EH children. On April 21 she went to a principals' meeting and during this period of time she discovered three things; one, thht the teachers were going to be lowered in her school from four to 2.5 teachers , and then later on she understood she was going to lose 1.5 teachers, and then after she asked them how do you lose a half a teacher, she finally found out that she was going to lose one teacher. On April 22, the day after that meeting, she was talking to Dr. Hart on another matter but she told him at that time that it looked like they were going to have to lose one of the teachers and, of course, he was one of the teachers that was involved, and Dr. Hart told her at that time, and I think the testimony is unequivocal about this, that he was qualified to teach in both EMH and LD, not just EMH, so she was put on notice that he had qualifications in both. Sometime later Mrs. Tucker met with all of the people injthe department except Dr. Hart,’who was away on an athletic program, but on May 7 she had a meeting with everyone. Interestingly enough, the May 7 meeting was pursuant to a change that she had never done- before^ndjiadn't been done before because of a grievance that had been upheld by this board concernfng*Theryl Bullard, a grievance very much like Dr. Hart's grievance today, and that was that you just can't consider the four teachers in EMH-, but you must consider all of the teachers in the department which also included the LD teachers. So we have eight teachers to consider and we have to consider the whole department and she met with everyone. At that time, once again, the testimony has been and will s-tiJl. be that Dr. Hart told her that he was qualified in both and she said you better get a certificate and show me, so he did that. He showed that, he has a temporary certificate.Jn LD because he th'o’u-ght that was all he needed, because in consideration of all eight teachef's 'notion ly is he more qualified but also his seniority is not even a question when you consider all eight teachers. In the May 6 memo which is before you, which is pursuant to this counsel's order, indicates very clearly that you must consider all of the department, all of the teachers, including EH, LD or whatever. Regardless of that fact and regardless that the information was shown by Dr. Hart, he was the one selected and he was selected based on seniority, and I would refer you, once again, to the collective bargaining agreement, which, of course, is the basis for any decision that must be made. And it clearly points out that an administrative transfer shall be based upon seniority when the individual qualifications are qqual. That is the key. "Such qualifications include educational training, experience, special skills, interests, etc." That was not done here. All of the testimony that you will hear again probably will say again, no, because we didn't consider the qualifications equal even though we found out later that Dr. Hart had more qualifications than the other. Remember that we are talking about the whole in the department in accordance with the May 6 memo. For on July 20, 1982, you have this letter before you, from Steve Stokes, the consultant in the teacher certification section, and he indicated that Dr. Hart made application and received his provisional certificate in learning disabilities in 1981. There is no other teacher that is considered at Northeast High in this department that has a provisional certificate; they all have temporary certificates. He can't be equal even on that basis, if you consider nothing else; he has the provisional certificate.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF JULY 27, 1982 - CONT'D
LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING Ms. Alice Strong-Davis testified. She indicated that she looked in his file and she didn't see anything in it about that. Then I asked her about him receiving a certificate later on and she said I don't understand how he did that, and I said can you get one in two weeks? She admitted no, you can't get one in two weeks. So he must have it. Now we have before this board the letter of July 20 from the State Department of Education that says he has a provisional certificate. The retort to that I think you will find on page 2 of the review of the Level II hearing which was reviewed by Mr. Isch and I quote Ms. Davis' testimony. "Since an EMH staff position was eliminated and no one in an EMH position was qualified to teach LD, only those persons in EMH positions were considered for reduction from the staff." We know that is not true because Dr. Hart has not only taught learning disability before and with experience; he has a provisional certificate and that is confirmed before this board. The only other reason that was given was we have to look at what is in the file now and if it is not in the file now, we just have that to go on; otherwise, everybody else would be running out getting a certificate. Everyone admitted you can't run out and get a provisional certificate; you have got to qualify for it. Why didn't Dr. Hart have that activated? You will find that the testimony from Dr. Hart is that a provisional certificate in LD is only good for five years. Why activate it a year before he needed it? He wasn't teaching in LD when he was at Northeast High School. He activated it to show them the State Department of Education confirms it. He is not equal; he has a certificate better than all eight other people, considering learning disability, considering the whole department. Therefore, the collective bargaining agreementj7as not followed. There is nowhere in the collective bargaining agreement that provides that the administration is bound by what they find in the personnel file at the precise moment the decision is made to make a transfer. It would seem to be only fafr’ and only reasonable for an administration to check with the State Department of Education, to check with the individuals themselves before that decision is made. So in all fairness all eight can be looked at together. No decision is made, for example, orrathletics as I understand it, according to the administration policy until August 15. So there is plenty of time to consider whether or not the individual that needs to be transferred is truly the one who does not qualify or is least qualified and should be transferred. On top of that Mrs. Tucker had excellent notice when he told her before the decision was made. And I think in all fairness if this board will consider the exhibits before them, the qualifications of Dr. Hart, that an error was made and that he should be reinstated.

Opening Statement - Mr. Mitchell cont'd
Opening Statement Dr. Payzant presented his opening statement as follows: I am serving as the - Dr. , Payzant respondent's representative; the respondent being Betty Mason, the Director of High Schools and Adult Education. This grievance is not complex; it deals with reduction in staff in the Special Education Department at Northeast High School, because other high schools in the district had higher projected special education enrollments for 1982-83, the upcoming school year. And, in fact, Northeast High School was overstaffed in its Special Education Department last year, 1981-82, and had a lower student^staff ratio than other high schools in the district for its EH program. I will show that even with the reduction of one? staff position in the EH program at Northeast High School and the transfer of Mr. Hart to another school, that for the upcoming year Northeast High School will still havea lower staff-student ratio in EH programs than any other high school in the district. As opponent counsel has stated, the grievance does deal with T;he procedure for determining which person in a department is transferred when it is necessary to make a reduction in staff, and the contract language alleged to be violated is carried in Article VI,v Section 5, Part C, Cl and L. These sections of the contract do state what procedureswill be followed, I will prove that they were followed and that the contract was not violated. Specifically, I will show, first,, that an administrative transfer was required at Norjjreast ITigfFSchool for one person in the Special Education Department EH program because the'sta-ff^student ratio was below that of other schools, Second, I will show that the procedures required by the contract were followed; namely, that the? principal first asked for properly certified volunteers and upon receiving no volunteers she reviewed the individual qualifications of each of the eight people in the department; not just those teaching in the EH program, She looked at their educationl training, their certification, experience, and so forth, I will show that she found that of the eight people in the department none had an official record of certification in both LD and EH, and that since the EH program had fewer students it was logical to cut a position from that program rather than the LD program area. She then turned to the four teachers who had EH certification and again looked at their certification. And finding that their certification was equal and that no one of the four had as a matter of official record an LD certificate that seniority would govern, and looking at seniority Mr. Hart was the least senior person and therefore the one to be transferretl. Third, I will show that Dr. Hart did not have LD certification at the time in early May when a decision had to be made to transfer a teacher, that the LD certificate produced by Dr. Hart on June 9 was after the end of the school year and, in fact, as stated in the letter from the State Department of Education which will be introduced as an exhibit did not become effective until July 1, 1982, almost two months after the principal was required to make a decision on which person to be transferred. And finally perhaps the most important point of all, I will show that the contract's intent as well as common sense in support of it would require a person to work from the official record of qualification at the time a decision is made and not attempt to rely on speculation and promise about what might be possible with respect to

qualifications; two weeks, a month, two months, or three months down the road. For ’if that more subjective and speculative standard were used at the time a principal was making a decision about whom to transfer from a department, i't would be very difficult for other department members to feel that fair and equitable treatment was applied with each person having the opportunity to present their official record for objective review as that decision was made. In short, I will argue that Dr. Hart was not certified in LD at the time that the decision was made to transfer him and that he was properly identified as the person to be reduced from the Northeast High School Special Education Department staff and assigned to another school because of his less of seniority. The contract language is clear and I will argue that the procedures were followed, the outcome was fair, and that the grievance should be denied.
Testimony Dr. Hart
Dr. Hart gave testimony with regard to his educational background and work history; teaching experience in EMH and LD; certification in EMH; when he first learned that there was to be a reduction in staff in his particular area of interest at Northeast High School; did he determine later that only EMH people would not be considered; did he receive notification after the decision was made that he would be transferred (an exhibit presented); the reason that was given for his being transferred; did he make it known to the principal that he was qualified to teach both EMH and LD; when did he make it known to the Director of High Schools and Director of Personnel Services; why hffe did not activate his provisional certificate at that time; how long he had been* qualified and had his provisional certificate; as far as the EMH teachers were corifferned, did all of them have standard certificates; if there were LD teachers who did'not have the time in the district that he did; did he hav/e a provisional certificat( that no other LD teacher had in the whole department at Northeast; what were his extra duty assignments at Northeast; if an athletic director and coach had to be chosen in the school system no later than August 15; did he know the approximate student-teacher ratio at Northeast in the Special Education Department; from his experience in that particular area of teaching, was it better to have a lower student-teacher ratio or a higher student-teacher ratio; was the ratio at Northeast one which he felt he could help the children; and other.
Testimony Ms. Tucker
After being called as a witness by Dr. Payzant, Ms. Tucker responded to questions related to her being principal at Northeast High School during April, May and June where the subject under discussion was being decided; if it were true that special education staffing, the number of positions that were allocated to a high school determined by Mr. Jim Johnson's office; was it true that she was given several staffing figures for 1981-82 but ultimately told that she would have to reduce her staff by one position; when was she given the information and at that time did she know she had to reduce one position from her special education staff; what procedure did she follow to determine which person would be reduced from that department's staff; when she reviewed’ the certification of the eight teachers in the department, was it true that she- found that no one haddual certification in LD and EH as a matter of official record; did she then look'at‘~l'lTe-four teachers who had been teaching EMH and their certification; did shefind that they all had EH certification; after she determined, that, their certification was equal, did she decide that she would have to do as the contract required, look at seniority; what did she find when she looked at seniority; did Dr. Hart eve’r-tell her that he was certified in both EH and LD; did he ever talk to her about obtaining a temporary certificate in LD; and other.
Under cross examination, Ms. Tucker's testimony related to questions with regard to when she was first given the information -that there,wfluld have to be a reduction in the number of teachers; what reason was given; was it in April or May; did anyone tell her it was because of reduction in enrollment; did she talk with the Director of Personnel Services or'the Di rector of High Schools and was she told that it was because of a reduction in enrollment; at the May 7 meeting when she called in all teachers in the department, if it was pursuant to someone telling her she had to consider the whole department; did Ms. Mason provide her with a copy of the May 6, 1982 memorandum to the Operations Directors from Alice Strong-Davis, Director of Personnel Services; did she know that some of the criteria had been set out on what she was to consider from that memo; if she had considered the language in the agreement -".... years of"experience in the district (last consideration if all other things are equal)"; did it mean to her that she was to consider years of experience in the district of all eight people that she saw; was she to consider seniority when everthing else was gqual or just consider seniority as one of the factors; did it make any difference as far as she was concerned that two of the other teachers had been in the district after Dr. Hart; was there ever any consideration given at all concerning checking up to see if Dr. Hart had any further certification like he said or was she going strictly by the record; did anyone else tell her just to go strictly by the record in that case; if she knew then what she now knew, that Dr. Hart had a provisional certificate in LD and a standard in EMH and the rest of the LD's had temporary certificates, would that have changed her’decision; was it better for special education students to have a lower student-teacher ratio than to have a high one and other.

LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING Testimony Having been called as a witness by Dr. Payzant, Mr. Johnson gave testimony regarding Mr. Johnson his job title and the areas of responsibility which his job included; in the area of special education, what responsibilities did he have with respect to staffing; (Exhibit I presented with respect to special education staffing) his explanation of the exhibit; how did he propose to take care of the increase in enrollment and the requirements for additional teachers; if they had received some additional teachers in the 1982-83 budget allocation for special education; but did he still have to reduce teachers at some schools in order to make the distribution of positions equitable across all high schools; his'explanation of the confusion about the reduction in enrollment at Northeast High School versus the reduction in staff and how that related to the other high schools in the district and his staffing; was the staffing at Northeast the past year above what it should have been; was the staff-student ratio at Northeast High School in 1981-82 below the staff-student ratio in special education programs in the other high schools; with the reduction of one teaching position at Northeast for 1982-83, what impact that would have on the staff-student ratio at Northeast compared to the other high schools in the district; even with the reduction of one teaching position, would- Northeast still have the most favorable and lowest staff-student ratio in the Special -:Education Department; and other.
On cross examination, Mr. Johnson was asked if he had to base a lot of his figures on projections; except the enrollment in 1981-82, did they have at Northeast 38 in EH and 56 in LD as appeared on the exhibit and if those were actual numbers from the past school year; that in the projected enrollment did he have 38 in EH and 63 in LD, which was an increase of seven students; did he provide those figures to Ms. Tucker or did he provide them through Ms. Mason to Ms. Tucker; why he had the word "revised" on the exhibit*" now that he had in the budget twelve niore teachers for that area, if he knew he had‘twelve more teachers or if they were available or not available; if all of the teachers had/been hired, if it would make it up to staff based on his projections;-" regardless-of how the ratios, were, was it not desirable to have a lower pupil-teacher ratio in order to spend more time with those students; and if he thought the ratio throughout the school district in that area was outstanding? On re-direct, Mr. Johnson responded to his having the responsibility not only allocating staff to each high school but making sure that all of the high schools together had the most favorable ratios given the staff he had to work with.
As another witness called by Dr. Payzant, Ms. Davis' testimony included her position Testimony with the Oklahoma City Public Schools; her responsibilities with respect to procedures Ms. Davis utilized by the school district in the transfer of teachers;if she was responsible for overseeing the procedures that were being discussed with relation to the transfer of Dr. Ben Hart; what criteria in those procedures were used and considered in that administrative transfer which occurred at Northeast High School; (Exhibit II presented regarding the reduction of the special education staff at Northeast) a summarization of the chronology of events as provided on the exhibit; when she is asked to review a file to check certification, if she could only work with what was officially in that personnel file and use that information to give to a principal who is making a decision about a transfer; did she ever consider other information about certification besides that which she may find in personnel records; (Exhibit III - a letter from the State Department indicating that if the district would recommend Dr. Hart, he could receive temporary certification in the area of learning disability) what Dr. Hart said when he brought the letter to her; if there was any way a temporary certificate could have been issued by the State Department of-Education without the district requesting it because they had a special need for a teacher in that particular area; what did she tell Dr. Hart with respect to the 1 etter about beihg“q^lified for an LD certificate; when Dr. Hart brought in verification of certificatesi-i5iT''counseling and administration and physical education, did she inform him at that time That those certificates had no bearing on the decision that had been made with respect to his transfer from Northeast High School; was it clear that those particular certificates had no bearing on the issue before the Board in that particular grievance; if she had ever had any conversation with Dr. Hart about his possible eligibility for a provisional certificate in LD and whether he had course work or qualifications that might make him eligible; if it was her testimony that Dr. Hart indicated to her that he thought he would have to go to summer school in 1982 in order to qualify for a provisional certificate in LD; did she recall-when she had that conversation with Dr. Hart; was it pretty clear to her from what he told her that there was no possible way that he could have a provisional certificate in LD in the spring of 1982, 1et alone by July 1 based on what he and she knew in early May when they talked; (Exhibit IV - letter from State Deparment that Dr. Hart had a provisional special education learning disability certificate with the effective date of 7/1/82) what did the effective date mean?
On cross examination, Ms. Davis responded to questioning as to her involvement to determine certification by the record; did she make a recommendation to Ms. Tucker; with regard to her particular expertise, if it had to be with a review of the file record of the individual; were there no other certificates on his file at that time;

if it were possible in her experience for an individual to be qualified for other certification and they just don't activate them and that was particularly true if there was a time limit on a particular certification; if it was true that there was a time limit on a provisional certificate for learning disability certification; when she had the conversation with Dr. Hart concerning his saying he would be qualified if he had to go to summer school in 1982 to get a provisional certificate in LD, if that was what he said; if she was sure he said provisional and not standard; (Exhibit - letter from Steve Stokes, State Department of Education) if she had seen the letter before and did it say that Dr. Hart qualified for a provisional certificate in the summer of 1981; had she talked with Mr. Stokes; was she saying that Mr. Stokes did not write the letter; did she indicate to Dr. Hart as well as everyone else concerned about the issue that it really didn't make any difference what his certification was in learning disabilities as far as his particular situation was concerned at Northeast High School; did she think that everyone should be considered in that particular situation for the transfer, both the LD and EMH or only the four EMH people; was her only determination whether or not the record at the time showed whether or not someone else was more qualified than the other; if there was a cutoff time for determination of qualifications for a decision to be made; since all of the EMH teachers were equally certified, did that mean she would go to seniority to make a determination; and other.
In re-direct, Ms. Davis was asked about timelines as she had responded to the counsel and the negotiated agreement, Section J - "notice of transfer for the ensuing year initiated through administrative channels should be given to the teacher involved as $bon as the decision is made of the need for such transfer by April 10, if possible"; if it was the section of the contract that she was referring to in heir response to Mr. Mitchell's question about the time requirements that the contract had for notifying the teachers affected by transfers of the decisions made; was it appropriate in her judgment for the decision on transfer to be made in early May soon after knowledge of the heed for a reduction in staff at Northeast High School was made to Ms. Tucker; was her testimony that she was under the impression that Dr. Hart had to go to Central State University and ask that university to substitute a course on his transcript in order to make him eligible under State Department standards for a provisional certificate in learning disability; if it was her understanding that the order for Dr. Hart to qualify for a provisional certificate that a course substitute had to be made by Central State University with an effective date of July 1, 1982; what was her testimony about the controlling factor of termination for Dr. Hart's certification as to what was on file as official record in the Personnel Office; and action taken in correctly transferring Dr. Hart in special education to another school. In Ms. Davis' testimony regarding Dr. Hart's going to Central State University to substitute a course on a transcript, etc., Mr. Mitchell challenged the statements as hearsay and Mrs. Hill indicated that the record would show such testimony as hearsay.
Following Ms.Closing Statement - Mr. Mitchell
Davis' testimony, Mrs. Hill called for a five-minute recess.
Mrs. Hill reconvened the meeting-and"caTTed-for the closing statement by Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell's closing statement was as follows:
It hasn't been too long that we opened with an opening statement. You have heard the evidence and you have seen S'-Jot of the exhibits that are before you. Let's go back to that opening statement and see .if we are back to the point where we have a problem here that needs to be rectified. Once again,., I would ask you to consider under the collective bargaining agreement, of course as you will, that the basic purpose that we are here and ithat everyone is concerned here- is...because of the best interest of the children as well as the needs of the school and the school program. Let's see if that school program was effected and if the collective bargaining agreement was truly followed. Once agajn, from the witness stand you heard, as we said would happen ifrom Ms. Tucker, that she did talk to Dr. Hart, that Dr. Hart did tell her that he was qualified in other areas and would be happy to show that to her. He obviously had to go to Ms. Davis to show her other things that he was qualified in also. You will recall that he said he thought all he needed was a provisional or a temporary certificate in LD because that would push him over and not make him equal with the others if that was a consideration; that he found out that was not right because he was the one that was selected for the transfer. He attempted since that time to try to come back and determine for all's benefits, everyone's benefit, that he was more than equal because he had a provisional certificate in learning disability. Let's stop right there and consider what happened when the decision was made for the transfer. Ms. Tucker has said; Ms. Davis has said at the Level II hearing and confirmed again that since the EMH position was the.only that was to be considered, that was the only thing that we needed to consider. It made no difference about the other in LD because no one else was certified in LD. That was the only consideration. You will recall that in all of the testimony- that has been the only consideration and it has been the only consideration all through the grievance procedure, and all I ask this board to do is re-read the May 6, 1982 memo that was issued pursuant to the order of this board concerning what things should be considered and how consideration should be made
405
LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING
in a< transfer. And it says very clearly in the B part - "The supervisor must determine Closing Statement - Mr. Mitchell the teacher to be impacted by considering all certified eligibles in the department. cont'd Example: all special education teachers must be considered, not just EH teachers or LD teachers, or ED teachers by specific category. The decision makes item number two in the publication to be considered no longer applicable as it is related to subject area only." That is what we are talking about and that is what they have said on the witness stand all the way through and that is what every one of the exhibits point to; we didn't consider it because all the EMH certifications were the same; therefore, they were all equal; therefore, we went to seniority. That is not what this memo says. Page two of the memo goes on to point out the following criteria - needs of the program, certification/qualification. Let's stop there for a moment. We have certification now. I think that has been shown to you. Ms. Davis tried to leave the impression with the Board that Dr. Hart had pulled some sort of shenanigans in order to get a provisional certificate from Mr. Stokes at the State Department of Education. He is a very interesting and a much more capable man than I think so if he can get the State Department of Education to give him a provisional certification when he doesn't qualify for it. Ms. Davis testified that she talked with Mr. Stokes two or three weeks ago. Just look at the date of the letter that was written by Mr. Stokes, its last week. It goes through clearly what happens. It was based on the summer session in 1981 at Central State University. He made formal application on June 9, 1982 to the State Department of Education. He has a provisional certificate. I don't think there is any question about it. There is no counter-proof that we have. There is nothing else except he'did use the interesting word that he substituted a course. Dr. Hart's substitute is not the word. She said it came from Montclair State. That is a transfer. You can^transfer courses from degrees that you have if you get them in New York City or the-University of Southern California, or even at San Diego State. You can transfer your courses ,in order to qualify you. He qualifies. He is not equal; there is no,; question ab.out it. All the time and through the testimony you have heard that Dr. Hart was trying to tell these people that he was more than qualified and he started from the first moment with Ms. Tucker arid she was quite honest about it. I think there is an inherent problem here. The problem is that the May,..6 memo which is a directive that has been issued to all operations officers that guides the administration that was issued because of this school board, clearly shows that you have to consider all people. And Dr. Hart was simply not considered and his qualifications were not. The slash says qualifications. There was an exhibit that was introduced in the Level II hearing by the respondent which hasn't been alluded to tonight but it is before you, state-approved experience. It has Dr. Hart with eight years of state-approved experience. There are three others that have less experience than he does. That is Exhibit IV-A. If certification/qualifications are there, he also had the qualifications and the experience because he has eight years and you heard his testimony from the witness stand concerning his teaching in that area. So he has the certification; he has the qualifications; he obviously has the educational training experience, special skills and interest. Look at his degrees and what they are in and how many hours he had. He had 70 hours in special education courses; for learning disabilities, those that can all be applied. Number D is years of experience in the district, once again, "last consideration if all other things are equal." You heard Ms. Davis say if their certification was equal, then it should go to seniority. Thatwas her testimony, the very last question that was asked. She only considers certification. That is her only area and she would go to seniority. Jhat-isn't what your memo says. That isn't what the collective, bargaining agreement says. So I think, if you take into consideration all of these factors, there is simply not the^equal treatment, nor is-there the equality between all of the teachers. Seniority is simply -not a factor in this case as it goes to Dr. Hart. And if that May 6 memo and the decision of this board has any meaning whatsoever, that meaning is that everyone in the department must be considered. Now I think from the testimony of Mr. Johnson all is done as well a? :can-be^whe'R you are trying to project budgets, when you are trying to project the number of'students that you are going to have and the number of teachers that you are going to have. We heard testimony that there were twelve new teachers budgeted. I don't know; they may all be hired. If that be the case, then Dr. Hart will not have a job; I don't know. That may be a consideration; it may not be, but nevertheless in the projection you see three different pictures that have come even since the Level I hearing, and finally the revised figure, and you have more students in learning disability at Northeast High School than you had last year. I fail to see how that can be treated as the end-all and be-all for a reason to transfer Ben Hart at this time. Certainly, the student-teacher ratio, I have no doubt that Northeast has one of the best. It should have one of the best. There should be a good low student-teacher ratio. And if you will recall the last question and last answer that Mr. Johnson gave was that we have a pretty good one throughout the district.*. That is what you strive to achieve, not to lower the studentteacher ratio but to keep at a level and riot dismissing one student. I mention that because the best interest of the children is a factor that needs to be considered too, and particularly with these children. I think it is clear that all of the teachers were not equal. I think it also is clear that Dr. Hart was singled out in this case and that there was no date that was set for a cutoff date as to when you were supposed to have your records in. As a matter of fact, it says as soon as practicable or as quickly as possible. How much time does a man have to be able to show that he should

Closing Statement - Mr. Mitchell cont'd
not be the one considered for a transfer based on seniority because he is more qualified than the others. Now what is fair? Perhaps the question of time should be addressed specifically. Perhaps there should be a cutoff time when an individual should show to the individual who has to make the decision, but in this case that was not done. The decision was made quickly, the decision was made while Dr. Hart was still attempting to get his certifications to show that he was eligible and I think there is the inherent mistake that was made in this case, plus the fact there is no denying he has a provisional certificate, that there is no equality at this time. He asked for you to follow those decisions that you have made, follow the law, and that is all; follow the guidance that you have, and I think there won't be any question that he should be reinstated.
Closing Statement - Dr. Payzant
Dr. Payzant's closing statement was as follows: As I said at the outset, the issues in this grievance are not complex. I have established that there is a procedure for setting staffing allocations in special education for each school. It was explained by Mr. Johnson. He has the responsibility for determining the allocations to each school. There is a procedure for doing so and it was followed. The testimony showed that it is our major purpose to allocate resources fairly and equitably among all schools so that staff-student ratios at one school wiTTInotbe significantly higher or lower than at another school. This was the basis for determining that Northeast High School should lose one position.so that position could be used at another high school where: the enrollments were going to be greater and the staff-student ratios would be higher. But even with that loss of one position, Northeast High School will still have? the most favorable, that is lowest, student-staff ratio of any special education department among the high schools in the district for 1982-83. Therefore, I think it is very clear that it was necessary and proper to reduce one position in the special education department at Northeast High School. The remaining issue then becomes one of whether Dr. Hart was, the appropriate staff member to be transferred. Counsel has spoken in his closing statement to the various criteria in the contract that must be considered and the procedure that must be followed. The testimony was that all eight teachers in the special education department were indeed considered. But you have to look for certification because in the State of Oklahoma a person who is certified in LD can't automatically teach EH or vice or versa, and when a check was made of each of the .eight people in the department it was determined that none at the time that the decision was being made had certification in both. And because the enrollment was lower in EH it was then determined that a position would have to be cut in EH, not LD. Counsel made reference to one of the exhibits that you have in your packet which shows the name of each teacher in the department, their race, their sex, their state-approved experience, beginning date in the district, their education and their .certificate. If you will look closely at that exhibit, the other three people with EH certification in the special education department at Northeast all have more state-approved experience than Dr. Hart - Phoebe Revel1e, Kay Sofola, and Richard Hall. So if you want to. take that criterion, Dr. Hart had less state-approved experience than the other three. The only way that Dr. Hart would have been more-highly qualified and the seniority criterion would have not come into play is if he had, had LD certification. That is the issuer- ■Tli.d...he have LD certification at the time Ms. Tucker had to make the decrsion on which person to reduce from the staff? We have had a ]o.t of testimony in that point. Ms. Tucker testified that he did not. The custodian of the official personnel records testified that he did not. She said that not only did he not have certification on file during April, May, and the early part of June, that he came in and tried to qualify for a’temporary certificate with his May 7 letter from Mr. Stokes, and’then subsequently came back a month later on June 9 waying that he qualified for an LD certificate, but that certificate would not be good until July 1, two months after the decision had to bp^made. Mr. Mitchell has talked about timeliness and what the contract requires. Ms. Tucker first started dealing with this when she got a staffing allocation at a principals' meeting on April 21. It was almost-three weeks, May 13, because Dr. Hart was notified that he would be the person'1 who would be transferred. That is when he received the official notification. Three weeks is not representative of quick unthoughtful action. A lot occurred in the three weeks to make sure that the appropriate decision was being made. The real point is that he did not have LD certification and therefore he could not be compared with the four people in the deaprtment who did, which would have made a difference in terms of his standing with respect to that department. I acknowledge that you may be enticed that the argument that Dr. Hart ultimately received his LD certification which is effective July 1, 1982, which would make him more qualified than his former colleagues or more qualified than he was at the time that the decision was made in early May to transfer him. But does the contract say or common sense suggest that we should speculate about additional qualifications any member that) the department might have or be able to obtain at some future date after a decision has to be made. The answer to that is no. I pointed to page 21 of the contract, Section J, which speaks specifically to the time-element in notifying teachers about decisions that will affect them in transferring. It says as soon as possible; if possible before April 10. This decision was made within three weeks of the staff and allocation being firmed up on April 21. We have to make a decision based on the
407
!
â–
-
MINUTES OF MEETING OF JULY 27, 1982 - CONT'D
LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING
objective official certification record at the time the transfer is required. If we speculate about future qualifications and grant Dr. Hart May and June to go to Central State to get a course substituted to finally qualify for a certificate which can be issued July 1, then what is to say that we shouldn't give July and August to somebody else in the department to take an additional course or perhaps qualify for a standard LD certificate at the opening of school. We can't operate on speculative or unsubstantiated information with respect to official certification records. If we did, a decision would be very difficult to make and a timeline that would be in the best interest of all of the teachers in a department, the program and the students served by it. The issue is whether or not Dr. Hart had LD certification. He did not at the time that the decision was made and issued to him on May 13, 1982. He does now, effective July 1, 1982. The procedures of the contract were followed; seniority was called into play; he was the least senior person, and he was the appropriate person to be transferred to another school assignment. He has a position in the district, assigned to another high school. This is not a matter of taking his teaching job away from him. The principal followed the procedures and made the right decision. The grievance should be denied.
Closing Statement - Dr. Payzant cont'd
In keeping with the negotiated agreement, Mrs. Hill asked if anyone from the American Federation of Teachers wanted to make a response. No one responded.
Discussion
After MrsHill asked for questions and comments from the Board, Mrs. Darrell stated that to her the issue was as in the memo that had been referred to by Mr. Mitchell "all certified eligibles"; that it was always unfortunate at any point and time when teachers had to be transferred; that it was always an emotional event. She statedthat reference had been made to the Cheryl Bullard case, arid to her the facts were not the-same as they were in that particular case; that she thought the memorandum, however, that he referred to was a memorandum to make sure that, yes, the Board's sentiment was expressed that they wanted more than anything else for the criteria and the negotiated agreement to be followed, and it seemed to her that as far as she had heard, that procedure was followed; that she thought it perhaps unfortunate for any individual or any teacher who did not, say, have all of their credentials on file, but the problem she was finding with not looking at purely what was a matter of record at that point and time was that she did not know what other qualifications other people on the list may have also not had of record at that point and time, and she thought it would be very difficult to deal with anything other than what was the matter of record, and she thought the reference to that was all certified eligibles, She continued that it was rather odd that no one had on file and perhaps the other individuals would have been eligible for LD as well or maybe someone else may have been eligible for a standard certification. Mrs. Darrell then added that, but if they would deal purely with what was a matter of record, she would move that the grievance be denied.
Stating that she had advised the Board that they would have an opportunity to ask questions before making a decision, Mrs. Hill requested that there not be a motion on the floor until'that had been done. Mrs. Donwerth stated* that she had an observation; that according to Mr. Johnson's statement, it was her understanding that it was actually realized that Northeast was overstaffed earlier in the year from the projected enrollment, and with regard to the contract it stated - "Notice of tranSfer^fpr the ensuing school year initiated through administrative channels shall be given to the teacher involved as soon as the decision is made of the need for such transfer...", and^.to- her that,.did not say you had to wait until April 10 if there was going to be a transfer.' Dr. Payzant,responded, stating that the difference in the final allocations and projections for 1982-83 were not established until May although they work with projections beginning as early as January or February, and the numbers kept changing particularly in special education, because as was testified, they were constantly evaluating children and seeing whether they qualified for placement in classes so that the fact that they had knowledge of enrollment being less than projected in 1981-82 would not automatically lead them to make a staffing decision in December or January, or February wi-th respect to 1982-83 until they got further into the spring where they had all of the staffing allocations in special education for 1982-83 established.
Fori her own clarification, Mrs. Donwerth commented further that she was interested in the part that was,brought in about conversation Ms. Davis also had with Mr. Stokes; that she had read and it was part of the testimony that Dr. Hart had told Ms. Tucker that he could be certified in either area, and she realized that there had to be some procedure for keeping records; however, she had a hard time understanding why it was done sometime in March; that to her a phone call there would have been as easy as a phone call later to find out if everything was legitimate; that if they were going to make phone calls to find out, that it be done on a fair and equal basis; that they needed to have enough confidence in their employees and say, okay, wewill give you the benefit of the doubt and I'll make a phone call and find out if you are certified,

Discussion cont'd
instead of waiting until they get that and then call and say is it right; is he ? certifi ed?
Mrs. Darrell stated that she understood the point that was being made but the only problem she had with that was that then they would have had to have done that for every person and she thought how that got in and got to be such a heavy point was mainly because it was not a matter of record, if they were going to deal with the .matter of record, because by the same token she thought they then would have had to have checked on Willie Thomas, Peggy Newman and Richard Hall, to have seen what else they would have certified for; that she did not think it was the lack of confidence but the dilemma there was for the lack of a better procedure probably or for the lack of a better way to deal with who the teacher must be when they had to reduce the teaching slots; that if they did not deal with what was of record then, on that date, which was the burden of an employee, then they would have to in all fairness allow each other person that same thing.
Mrs., Donwerth then iriquired as to if there was anything in the written agreement that said that those records had to be on file? Ms. Davis responded from the audience with regard to persons' files being updated. Mrs. Hill then asked for a motion and deliberation from the Board.
R. #237 Grievance Denied
In additional comment, Mrs. Darrell stated that the only problem she.,CQuM..see. wa%.‘What was of record, because she thought if they were to do it any differently, then they would have to back up because one person with a temporary might be eligible for a standard, and she had read that it was the employee's responsibility to keep their records current if they take a short course or anything else, which she thought also tied into staff development, that they were supposed to keep their records up to date and in that one particular area she could not find that the procedure had not been followed, so she would move that the grievance be denied, because it was grieving the failure of the policy to be followed.
The motion was seconded by Mrs. Brody. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mrs. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Hibbitts, no; Mrs. Donwerth, no; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried and the grievance was denied. ADJOURNMENT

Commenting further, he asked that the Board schedule an executive session to sit down and discuss among themselves any direction or ask questions of their team in order forkthem to resolve some outstanding issues and come up witn a tentative agreement prior to the extended contract people returning to work on Monday. He asked that board members read the position statements from the AFT negotiating team that were given to them while he was speaking.
In responding to Mr. Renfro's comments, Dr. Payzant stated that he was concerned a bit^bout the clause in the contract that talked specifically about not negotiating in that forum but only through the representatives of the respective teams for the Board and the Union; that with respect to the other concern, the negotiating team did meet with the Board in executive session two weeks before, had extended conversation- about the various topics that were under discussion at the table and gave the Board team direction and guidelines to follow through with negotiations; and that it was because those guidelines were given and the discussion was lengthy at the last session that the Board team believed that it had the direction of the Board to negotiate and try at the earliest possible date to get a contract settlement, which was why a session was not scheduled for that evening meeting. Mr. Renfro commented further with regard to the negotiation teams being in session until midnight according to the procedural agreement established and authorization given to their team to make a final decision on tentative agreements and the Board's right to make decision on a tentative agreements for its team and he wanted to make it clear that they were ready for final agreements and final authorization and at that time they did not have it. Mr. .McCullough's remarks were in the form of a request that the.district,grant to Drug Recovery, Inc.* an extension on its contract for the purchase of Arcadfa School. He referred to a Tetter which had been provided to members of the Board from John A. Shelley, wherein the Board of Education was being asked to defer payment due on the contract for 45 to 6Q^-daysT~ Explanation was given about plans for the organization to solicit funds for their project which would be far in excess of the amount jthat.was currently due, and other.
After members of the Board tnquired with regard to the total amount due, Mr. Bleakley explained that aside from the $25,000.00 which was due on August 1, 1982, a remaining $34,000.00 was due on or before one year from the date of the agreement with interest thereon until paid at the rate of 13% per annum; the date of agreement, June 7, 1982.

attorney's Mr. Bleakley reported: Report________ ______ 1. Star School Explosion Litigation
In the. Star School explosion litigation matters, the attorney for the district has filed the interpleader. That case has been assigned to Judge Cook. There has been a show cause hearing set for August 11 and I have discussed the Board's request made at the last meeting concerning an expression to the court of our desire for the o*ut-of-pocket expenses to be dealt with out of this insurance money and for it to be done so expeditiously. The attorney and I feel that the prospect of that is very good in terms of the interpleader action. We should have an indication on August 11 as to whether or not any of the defendants are going to obstruct this effort in terms of raising objections to the out-of-pocket medical expenses being paid from these proceeds. It is anticipated that some of the expenses will be paid by other governmental agencies and that would have to be taken into consideration, too; whether or not those expenses have already been paid. But what we will do is observe the reaction of the defendants at this August 11 show cause hearing and if it appears that any

Pat Murphy, et al Lawsuit In the lawsuit brought by Pat Murphy and others against the school district, the district's demur to the petition was sustained. The plaintiff has twenty days to answer that, to amend their petition, and if they fail to do so, a motion will be made to dismiss the action.

National Gay Task Force Lawsuit
In the litigation brought by the National Gay Task Force against the school district, we have received a notice of appeal filed by the plaintiff to the Tenth Circuit. I had corresponded with the Oklahoma State School Boards Association and asked them to take on the future responsibility for the defense of this lawsuit. At the last meeting of the Board of Directors on July 18, they approved that request and Mr. Larry Lewis, the general counsel for the association, will relieve the district of further defense in this matter.
Mrs. Hermes asked if it meant that no more money would be paid out of the district's General Fund to defend the lawsuit? Mr. Bleakley replied in the affirmative, stating that he was preparing a package of all of the pleadings in the matter to turn over'to Mr. Lewis and per their discussions that afternoon, he thought instead of doing an amicus curiae approach, that he woiiTd enter an appearance as counsel for the district and relieve the district of any further respons“tfrtHty in the matter. Mrs. Hill referred to a letter received from the State School Boards Association and stated from it she did not get the same opinion as Mr. Bleakley had stated,wherein there was stated - "Please be advised the Board of Directors of the Oklahoma State School Boards Association voted on July 18 to lend support to the Oklahoma City School District in the defense of 70 OS, 6-193-15. If an appeal is filed by the National Gay Task Force, the Oklahoma State School Boards Association will enter the case as a friend of the court and solicit every board of education in the state to enter the case as a friend of the court. In addition, OSSBA has prepared to support the Oklahoma City School District in any manner mutually agreed upon by the association and the school district."
In response, Mr. Bleakley stated that he thought they could accomplish those things, bringing in the other school districts on that basis as supporting the district's position and Mr. Lewis had indicated that day that he was willing to take on the direct defense of the suit; that the motion passed was somewhat general and maybe he had coaxed him into doing more than what was first anticipated.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF AUGUST 2, 1982 - CONT'D
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Comments and Discussion Re Unpaid Claims at Northeast High School cont'd
The board of education of a school district is responsible for all district funds, including activity funds. School activity funds are the responsibility of the principal and by state statute and state board rules and regulations the principal serves as the custodian of those funds. All district employees are bonded by a blanket $2500.00 faithful performance bond which protects the district against any kind of fraudulent acts by its employees. However, the bond does not protect against bad business practice or poor management and I want to make that distinction because the essence of this report is that there is no evidence of any kind of fraudulent acts although there is some evidence of poor management and a failure to follow Board policy and administrative rules and procedures which has led to the problem that I will describe to you.
During late May and early June we began to receive calls here at the Central Office and also at Northeast High School from a number of vendors and business houses concerning outstanding bills that had been incurred by staff at Northeast High School, bills which had been charged to the Northeast High School Activity .Fund that had not been paid and, as I indicated a moment ago, when that pattern of calls came I asked Mr. Shepard after working with Ms. Mason to arrange for a special audit. That audit occurred and Mr. Tom Walsh, one of the partners of Hall, Harmon and Walsh, was the person responsible for overseeing that special audit. Before I comment specifically on the audit and management letter which came with the audit and the steps that we need to take to respond to it, let me just briefly review the activity fund policiesand procedures.
.There are really three levels of policies and procedures that control. The first ’’"being, of course, the state statutes; the second being the rules and regulations of the State Board of Education; and the third being the local school board's policies and rules and regulations. For those of you who were on the Board two years ago, you will recall that we did a major revision of the policies and procedures and put them in a separate student activiy fund management handbook that was distributed for staff at all schools working with activity funds to use. The discussion that I have had with auditors and with staff during recent days convinces me that there is no major flaw in the policies and procedures that the Board has established to implement the state statures and state board policies. The system that we have in place is a good one but the people who work with it must follow it. You should also be clear that we are not talking about a sophisticated accrual accounting system which we do use for our school district General Fund. The activity funds basically operate on a cash basis which is similar to what we all use with our personal finances. And as in the case with our personal finances, it is possible to have our checkbooks balanced at the end of the month, but if we have incurred bills to be paid at some future date without knowing that the revenues will be there to meet those bills, we can get ourselves into difficulty and have insufficient funds to cover them. Essentially.,. this \is what has happened at Northeast High School in recent months. The monthly statements which are reviewed by Ms. Mason in the business office have shown that there were adequate cash balances in-the..varjous accounts but there have been a number of bills on liabilities which have been stacking up which have not been paid and are not past due with insufficient funds available in the specific activity fund accounts to cover them.
Several things have happened. The principal at "the school in some instances failed to get prior authorization.,for purchase as is required by the Board policy and procedures where purchases are more than $100.00. A number of vendors that were used by Northeast High School really had open purchase orders where people who were sponsoring various activities couldr;gerfo the vendor and simply say that this is a service or an item that will be used at the school and receive an okay from the vendor to purchase the item, rather than have the requisition processed which should be used at the school controlled first with the principal signing off, making sure that funds were available in the account to which the purchase should be charged prior to the vendor receiving authorization to go ahead and sell the item.
What step should be taken? I think it is very clear that four or five things need to be-done. First, I would like authorization to pay from 1981-82 school district funds all outstanding bills from Northeast High School and this next part is important, where valid claims are verified by our school district purchasing office and for which the appropriate activity fund account at Northeast currently has insufficient fuhds to cover. In order to do that each of the bills that has surfaced has been given to Ms. Mason and Mr. Shepard. Mr. Shepard is in the process of writing a letter to each of the vendors requesting that the vendor verify the claim which is on the bill. And we have to have that verification, one, that some services were provided or some items purchased and delivered, and either of those circumstances certified in order to be able to legitimately pay the bills. Further, any services rendered or purchases made in 1981-82 can only be paid with 1981-82 funds, not with 1982-83 funds. So that is the first step, to get
413
MINUTES OF MEETING OF AUGUST 2, 1982 - CONT'D
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT verification of all claims that are outstanding and to authorize the school district to go ahead and pay those bills. That is the essence of the action that I am asking you to take under the item in tonight's agenda. But there are some other things that I intend to go ahead and do. Secondly, I am working with Mr. Shepard and the auditors to set up a workshop for all principals and financial secretaries that has tentatively been scheduled for August 19. The purpose of the workshop will be to conduct a very specific review of the policies and procedures for activity fund management and train the people again in proper use. Third, I am going to require principals to give the vendors with whom they do regular business a letter that no purchases may be charged to the school without the written authorization of the principal, to eliminate this open vendor purchase order practice which we discovered at Northeast and may even be in evidence at some other school. I am also going to require principals to use the requisition to authorize purchases with the expectation that they will not sign requisitions unless funds are available in the appropriate activity account to cover them. That is already provided for in the Board policies and procedures but we need to tighten up to make sure that people are following those procedures. I think it ought to be made very clear to people that a deviation from the procedure in the future will make the individual making the purchases liable for the amount charged. Finally, I will require the operations directors to monitor the system to make sure that the principals are following it.
The*final thing that I would like to call.to your attention deals with the specifics of the auditors' finding. You received in your material a copy of the auditors' review and management letter and also a detail of the liabilities which the auditors found as a result of their search which was based on information available up until the middle of June, and the potential liabilities of $44,1 TO.20, that figure is somewhat inflated because of the following. Of that amount, $17,973.34 is represented in two lease/purchase agreements for copying machines, and multi-year purchase agreements can'/tbe entered into by the school district or an individual school. Any lease/purchase agreement has to be renegotiated and reapproved with the start of each new fiscal year. So there is no way that the district can pay that $17,973.34 which represents additional fees for the second, third or fourth year of a lease/purchase agreement. There will be two options, either to renegotiate the agreement and arrive at a figure for payment in 1982-83 using Northeast activity funds or to return the equipment. So in of itself that is going to reduce that $44,000.00 liability by almost $18,000.00. From the time that Ms. Mason and I working very closely with the new principal, Mr. Matthews, became aware of the problem, some of the bills that could be verified and charged to accounts that had balances in them have, in fact, been processed for payment and amounts remitted to the vendors. So some of that has occurred since the auditor completed his study and his report. So there will probably be somewhere in the neighborhood of an additional $2,000.00 to $3,000.00 that has been paid over the last couple of weeks or will be in the next week or so.
That still leaves the probability that we are talking about, liabilities of somewhere jn the neighborhood of $20,000.00 to $22,000.00 for which there is not money available to cover those bills out of the Northeast appropriate activity account. And we are talking., basically about four account categories - the yearbook, the athletic fund, drama, and the^general fund. That is where the liabilities have been incurred. Even thoughaSyou lookat the report you see a cash balance of $12,000.00 in the activity fund at Northeast High-School, that doesn't mean that $12,000.00 is available to pay off $i-2^t)00.0jjj^>those $20,000.00 or $22,000.00 in liabilities because the law is very specific about what funds you can use for what purpose. And you just can't automatically take money that the class of 1980 raised for a specific project, where there is a balance in that account, and use it to pay off something that was incurred to the athletic fund or the yearbook or something else. Finally, we won't really know until the claims come into Mr. Shepard's office in a verified form the exact dollar amounts that we are talking about in resolving all of the unpaid bills. I think I have given you the worst possible situation in terms of the dollar amounts that are out there, and it may be that the verifiable claims are less than what we have pulled together "from the bills and paper that we could get at Northeast High School. Mr. Walsh is here and can respond to specific questions that you may have about the audit that his firm did, and Ms. Mason, Mr. Shepard and I will be happy to respond to other questions that you may have.
After Mrs. Darrell asked who was reponsible for maintining the books or the balances on an ongoing basis and if it was done at the school, Dr. Payzant replied that ii.was the responsibility of the building principal; th&t at the high school level there would be a financial secretary who would spend almost full time working on the financial matters, but it was the ultimate responsibility of the principal to make sure that the Board policies arid procedures with respect to management of school activity funds were followed.

Comments and Discussion Re Unpaid Claims at Northeast High School cont'd
Mrs. Darrell inquired further that in the study of the particular problem if they had been able to make any determination as to what person or persons on some of the expenditures had incurred the indebtedness? In response, Dr. Payzant stated that,yes, in a number of them an individual staff person made the contact with the vendor and the bill showed who that person was, but they had also found that there was a pattern of that occurring over time where apparently the various sponsors and people who were working with student activities became very used to doing that and it was common practice even though it should not have been occurring and should have been caught at the school level by the building principal; that they had not found any instances where there was any fraudulent activities, where something was purchased by an individual rather than for a bona fide school activity of athletic team, or something that was legitimately charged to an activity fund if there had been balances to cover it.
In further questioning by Mrs. Darrell, she asked that in the audit firm's pursuit of their audit, if it was evident that someone had or had not been keeping a regular ongoing record or was it that the accounts had not been balanced over a long period of time or what?
Dr. Payzant replied that the accounts had been balanced and the monthly statements showed that the cash position was fine, like in using the analogy of personal checkbooks, that there could be a balance in the checking account but if there were $500 *00 out there on VISA or Mastercharge or American Express, or an individual charge account that was due in 30 or 60 days and the bills were continually put back in the drawer and not paid, at some point they catch up with the individual and there are not funds available to meet those obligations even though month-to-month the bank statement shows that there is a positive cash balance. Mrs. Darrell then comniehted that the reason she was asking the question was that if they were planning to do an orientation, her concern was whether the orientation would help or whether the system was fundamentally inadequate, whether they needed to deal with a different system. Dr. Payzant stated that he did not think there was a problem with the system, as had also been stated in the letter from the auditor, particularly if they made the adjustment that the auditor had suggested in that management letter. Mr. Walsh, auditor, explained the ^.statutes and state department regulations with regard to student activity funds being maintained on a cash basis and how the burden would have to fall on the administrators or fund custodian at each school; the methods that had been followed in the past as per the manual on rules and regulations for activity funds; and other.
Following a brief'discussion, Mrs. Darrell commented that if they were only going to orientate the financial secretaries, she would suggest that any and all persons who were going to have any kind of^responsibility for purchase orders be orientated to what the system was all about, because itrwas obvious that from what was in hand, it was more than the financial secretary or anybody Slse. Mr. Walsh explained further that that was the reason that'the auditors and Dr. Payzant had recommended that the principals who were chargedby the state department as being the fund custodian be required to--attend the annual orientation session which is held each year. ~
After additional concern was expressed by 'Mrs. ~DarreTl with respect to orientation of the people at the building, Dr. Payzant explained that it would be the responsibility of the principal to orient the entire staff. She also added that persons should be informed that when rules and regulations are violated what the consequences would be.
Mrs. Brody inquired as to if they had a true picture of what "went on’financially at Northeast High School; if they knew how it happened, what the money was used for; did they go back and look at thb budget for 1980-81, the funds that were allocated for 1980-81; things that were bought for 1980-81, were they paid for in 1980-81; did they show up i Q the balance of the budget of 1981-82; if they had things that were prepared to be presented in the budget of 1982-83; were their funds collected for tee-shirts, for instance, and if the tee- shirts 'generated money, what happened to that money; when candy was bought and sold, what happened to the money, and things like that; if an inventory had been done of the the things that had been bought; arid did they know that the things that were bought were at Northeast High School. Mr. Walsh replied that they did not know if all the things were at the school; that they were requested to determine the actual cash balances as of June 14 and any liabilities for charges incurred on or before that date; to go beyond that would cause additional expense to be incurred by the district for work that would be done later on in the summer in the course of the regular examination of the student activity funds of all schools; arid other. He explained further what would take place with regard to

Comments and Discussion Re Dr. Payzant added that what he was recommending was for the verifiable claims that they Unpaid Claims at received from vendors for services or materials for 1981-82, that they be authorized Northeast High to pay them; that it could be a separate issue as to what they could reasonably School cont'd collect back from the school or for individuals on a case-by-case basis where it seemed to be appropriate, or in light of any other direction that the Board would give. As further information, Ms. Mason explained that they had asked the principal to come in and they went item by item ove? some of the bills and discovered that funds in some instances were collected to pay certain bills but were placed in another account and left other bills outstanding; that in terms of the'year before, from the materials that they went over, they found only two bills that were truly outstanding from the previous year and the rest of the bills were incurred during the past school year; that a lot of work had been done on'determining whether or not the materials that showed purchase were at the school site,and for the most pabt they felt reasonably comfortable that the funds that were collected for a specific activity account were spent within those accounts. She also referred to a specific activity whereby funds were collected and placed in an account but did not clear that particular bill; that some bills were returned to the school site and it was asked that they would be covered. Mrs. Hi 11* inquired about the activity requisition form, after which Ms. Mason explained the procedure that is used in each school with respect to that form. Mrs. Hill then suggested that maybe they should be numbered and tallied each month. Ms. Mason then explained that there were cases where no requisition form was used. She also gave insight on the fact that principals can be updated daily or weekly with'" regard to -the activity accounts.and know what their cash flow is. Comments were made by Mrs. Hill with regard to the recommendation, stating that she had a concern about paying all of the bills, in that-some of the bills from Northeast was the expense of the basketball team ih TuTsa and with so many of the schools having had that bill at the last minute, she thought they were going to have some unhappy principals if they picked up the expense of Northeast and didn't help some of the other schools. She also mentioned that with~regard to the tee shirts, if they were sold, that the money should go to the district's General Fund and not remain at the school.
Dr. Payzant stated that he thought it was very legitimate for the Board to give some direction about Northeast paying back some of the money to the school district; however the only way they would be able to do that would be to engage in fund-raising activitie: primarily out in the community. Discussion continued with regard to arriving at the official amount that should be paid and the fact that letters were being sent out to the various vendors to establish the exact amount of the unpaid bills and the procedure that would be followed in the accounting process. '
Mrs. Darrell expressed her concern that with regard to the fund-raising suggestion, and she did not want to see children bear the burden, again, for adult mismanagement and error and she did not agree that"the students should have to undertake a fund-raising project; that she would agree that the vendors' should be paid since the indebtedness was made in the name of the school district; thatshe would say pay the vendors, and’beyond that evaluate any activity sponsor^,who dicF’hqt clearly understand," could not follow through, could not carry the "kind "of^sponsibil ity that ts necessary to function, to do a proper job of dealing with funds for activities; but she did not want to see the'incoming .-students who were not even at Northeast last year, be put out on the community to raise money for personnel and employees. She added that she would like the culprit to bear the burden and not the children, and not the community; that at best, she felt they were all responsible for the fact that it happened and they should pay the vendors and move on, but she would like to see some very close evaluation of people who were put in positions to carry a responsibility that they could not carry out could not follow policy and procedure as 'they were supposed to, and for those who did it or any vouchers that were unauthorized or anything else, she would be much happier if they would be reprimanded; not the community be burdened and not the students.

’Eachof the speakers expressed a concern regarding the elimination of stipends : for Certified employees from the 1982-83 Staff Development and Training Plan. Included in the remarks was a suggestion that the item be delayed until it had been considered by the Staff Development Committee; that the plan as presented in 1981-82 be left intact, .and mainly that the stipend be left in the plan.
With regard to the item, Dr. Payzant commented that relative to timing there were a number of plans for staff development activities which had been proposed that were contingent upon budget approval, and if the Board-were to decide to continue to pay stipends for teachers who participate in staff development activities outside of their workday, it would necessitate earmarking a substantial portion of the staff development budget to cover those expenses, which meant that there would have to be a major revision in the program plans for staff development activities for 1982-83; that some of the activities were pending and would begin to occur in the next two weeks and certainly in the next month, and if all of it were put on hold until September 7 or later in September it could well effect some of the staff development programs. Dr. Payzant then called on Mike Barlow, Director of Staff Development Training, who stated that the Oklahoma City school district was one that had inservice training long before the State of Oklahoma decided that all district should have it; that the Oklahoma City district also saw the need to compensate employees for putting themselves out and achieving'staff development activities by way of the stipends afi<f"Was the only school district that paid hourly stipend whatsoever to employees for staff development activities. He also stated that now-ihe^State of Oklahoma had accepted that burden; that not only were they refunding.$2.53 per~ch’ild for staff development but they passed during the last session of the legislature a bill that provided that any certified employee that meets the requirments of their local staff development plan would receive a $225.00 stipend bonus at the end of the year; that mainly what that would mean to the Oklahoma City district based upon the plan adopted, was that any certified employee that acquired four points during the 1982-83 school year would be eligible for reimbursement of $225.00 bonus; that thedistrict was also offering employees the opportunity to acquire those four points on January 17 which was an inservice day and a contract day and a paid day which was tne issueHfrf^double payment that might arise. He continued, stating that as the Superintendent had said as to whether or not it was a hasty action, when the>plan regarding the stipend was adopted by the Board, the plan was in the hand of the steering committee and both the past and present chairpersons of the Staff Development Committee, and since that action was taken there had not been any meetings of the full committee; that surely there could have been meetings; that the Staff Development Department in meetings with the advisory committees of the various complexes at Star Spencer, Monroe and Heronville discussed with teachers and those advisory committees the possibility that if the legislative act should become final, it would be reconsidered by the Board; that he was very up front with the teachers by telling them he wanted them to know what was in the plan and the Board had voted that should the legislature pass that bonus plan, that they would reconsider to amend the plan, and no opposition was found whatsoever from, the people that attended; that*-they kept the chairperson of the steering committee involved from the very beginning and she knew what recommendations were going to be made and at what time they would be made first to Alice Strong-Davis and then to the Superintendent; that he did not believe there was a need for a delay for the reason that the committee had not had an opportunity to discuss it because since May 17 when action was taken the committee had that opportunity if they had decided to take it up either as a steering committee or a full committee.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Mr.* Barlow also stated that it was almost disastrous at the present to not be operating under the 1982-83 budget; that there had been no workshops coming up that would require stipends during the month of July, so it had been rather easy, but they had not been operating their 1982-83 budget; that they had not been charging any accounts under that budget because they were waiting for the Board to make the decision that needed to be made-so they could; that they had every delivery department in the district that had made excellent proposals to the Staff Development Department for funding and for implementation so the plan could be implemented, many of which would go into effect that very week in full force and they had received calls every day as to the status of the proposals and they had to tell them that they had not approved any yet because they had to settle that issue first, and until they could settle the issue of whether or not the district would pay the hourly stipends in addition to the other incentives, they could not operate the budget, they could not approve plans, they could not spend money and then later on spend the same money, and they needed to make that decision that evening; that they felt they were coming before the Board with a recommendation that would go along with what was said needed to be done back in May should the legislature take the action that they took. He added that he wanted to point out that nobody in that situation, teacher or administrator, would lose any money as the result of the action; that when looking at the total plan, people would actually gain money in their pockets because $225.00 would be the equivalent of thirty-seven and one-half hours of six dollar an hour type of stipends; that if the question was asked what did they propose to do with the extra money theft would be generated, that obviously if they did not pay six dollars an hour, that last year fifty to sixty percent of the total staff development budget went that way, wfetth would be approximately $80,000.00; that if they were going to carpet the walls of the administrative offices, he thought people would have legitimate complaints but the money would be directed right back to the staff development program and specifically back to the teachers. He stated that the past year $6700.00 was budgeted for individual initiative; 'that the current year with the:;elimination of stipends, they were proposing that $20,000.00 would be budgeted for individual initiative which meant that three times as much money would be available for certified personnel to shop around for the staff development that they would individually feel was the most meaningful for them and to have the district reimburse them for registration fees up to $150.00; that they had proposed to use the money to increase by fifty percent the amount of money that was spent at the building level for building-based inservice that was planned by the faculties and the staff development advisory-.committees, the faculty advisory committees at those schools; that they were proposing to do what they really felt needed to be done in the district, which was to make the primary focus of staff development on the individual's initiative and to make the primary focus toward the building where the staff at the individual building and/or department determined what to do with the funds rather than to rely totally on Central Office delivery, and what they would be able to do by removing the stipends would be to see that the people were getting their money but at the same time they would be able to create new programs extend exisitng programs,-and they would be able to say to every single department in the school district that every proposal submitted could be approved and there were still funds to be used to enrich the existing programs that they had already submitted and to submit additional programs. —
Mr. Barlow concluded by stating that there was no really reason to delay the action because it was not a new action; it had something that the Board brought up in May and the real incentive that they, saw was to have a variety of quality programs delivered as close to the individua-T^as possible, and that was their goal and they felt that the workshops would not suffet^’f there was not a six dollar stipend because if the workshops that were being designed by the Various—departments were being designed to meet the individual needs that been nptj-fied through the needs assessment such as PRI and DMI and the ESPF program, if :alt programs were being designed to meet those needs then teachers and administrators would attend those programs, and if the programs were not good enough to draw people to them, then he thought they should reevaluate and see what they could do to better the programs if that was the case, but they wanted to target the money for the individual; that they wanted to target the money toward the building and at the same time they had the $225.00 state funded bonus for the employee, more individual initiative funds, and more building-based funds; that it was really an ideal situation.
Mr. Barlow, members of the Board and Ms. Revelle continued to discuss the issue with regard to who made up the staff development budget, the impact of the 1981-82 committee on plans that would be developed by the 1982-83 committee, input that had been provided and provisions for input in the future, the effect that delay for approval of the recommendation would have on implementation of the plan and use of the budget; funding of the human relations category, consideration of the budget by the 1981-82 committee, the bonus proposed as well as the stipend, the importance of not putting the program on hold, appropriation of the $225.00 bonus by the legislature, and other.

Mrs. Brody commented that in going through the Baker's plays (item 8), she was hoping that they could find some other plays somewhere because she was somewhat concerned that there were not many classics in the plays; that there were only two plays that dealt with minorities; and there was no place about women or written by women and not many plays written by Blacks; and she was concerned because dramas and plays reflect'a general society and the Oklahoma City School System is one with many children. She added that she was disappointed in the quality of the plays. Dr. Qvarnstrom, Arts Coordinator, replied that to date they did not have any curriculum material"in the area of drama or a drama consultant; therefore, there had been a rather informal, haphazard regard concerning materials that would be available for school productions or for research on the part of teachers; that at a meeting of drama teachers in the district in March, he expressed a concern to them that they begin to look at a systematic development of curriclum materials in the drama area; that there had been a marginal amount of money in the last year's budget in the area of supplies or curriculum materials for drama; that the Baker's plays was one source that was suggested by the drama teachers and he was in no way as approving it for the presentation was suggesting that it spoke to the breadth of material with regard to her concerns. He added that the Baker's plays was one curriculum source

Mr. Hibbitts stated that he had visited Willard School and in a past agenda he had noticed that the money for Willard School was voted on separately and in the agenda for that meeting he noticed that all the schools were lumped together and he wondered why it was done that way. Dr. Payzant replied that it was true that the first two items had already been addressed separately by the Board because they were pressing, but when the Board completed its budget and for the first time that year put a substantial amount of money, $600,000.00^in the General Fund for building repairs; that he was requested to come to the Board with a total plan for how that money would be spent for the year, requesting authorization to move ahead with those projects, so he simply had done that but included those two projects that had already been approved by the Board so they would be able to see the total picture.

BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION Mrs. Hermes asked for clarification on improving electrical service and adding new electrical service. In response, Dr. Payzant stated that in adding electrical services it meant putting in additional power which required pulling in new conduit and power from the transformer, which would be a major project to upgrade the power source for the building; that in improving electrical service it cobld be a variety of things; that in the case of Willard and Putnam Heights, an electrical contractor looked at those buildings and advisedithem on'what things ought to be done for safety purposes and to make sure that everything was in good working order; not for relighting.

The Central Food Service Department Financial Statement as of June 39, 1982 was submitted as information to the Board.
Mrs. Hill offered commendations to Mr. White, Food Service Director, for his management of the Central Food Service Department the past year and thanked him for a job well done. Mrs. Darrell also mentioned that she, too, thought Mr. White had done an outstanding job. e‘ A concern was expressed by Mr. Long that a close study be made of the needs of the cafeteria managers in all schools with regard to the labor situation; that the past year many hours for cafeteria workers were cut and he would recommend that, if possible, their hours be increased. He added that he had discussed the matter with Mr. Shepard and Mr. White and they had agreed to look into the matter, and he would hope that since a profit had been shown in that department there would be some consideration given to fobd service workers' salaries. UNFINISHED BUSINESS None.
NEW BUSINESS Withregard to the request made by Mr. McCullough during the hearings with respect to the extension of payment on the Arcadia property, Dr. Payzant asked Mr. Shepard to comment an, the matter. Mr. Shepard referred to a letter from Mr. John A. Shelley, a member of the Board of Trustees of Drug Recovery, Inc., wherein the request had been made regarding the property, and stated that he had talked withMr. Shelley, and had advised him that since they did have a contractual arrangement it would have to be changed by Board action arid also-that-the second payment was due, perhaps it should be brought to the Board that evening; that he had provided Mr. Bleakley with a copy of the contract, and his personal opinion would be that,it, would not hurt the district to go ahead and allow the extension of time for two reasons;, one, they would receive the money within the entire contract period or within the fiscal year; that they would not have anything to lose in terms of the building itself because they were mating improvements in the building, were doing things to enhance the value of the-bcrflding and; third, it had been indicated that the interest rates were beginning to go doWn and they were tied in at 13 percent interest rate for the money for the next 60 days. Mr. Shepard added that his recommendation would.,be to go ahead and allow the extension and ask Mr. Bleakley to redraw the contract and/or amend it with whatever action that the Board would approve that evening. Mr. Hibbitts made a motion to grant the extension to Drug Recovery, Inc., after which Mr. Bleakley suggested that there be a specific date for the extension and to include the 13 percent j’ate if they wanted it to apply, since the way the contract was originally written it did not apply to the payment due. He also advised that for the record it should show that the item was. not known about in time to get it on the agenda and they would treat it as new business.

D.
Authorize the Superintendent to establish an account within the District's budget to fund expenses for development and implementation of a total training program.
Additionally, Mrs. Brody commented that they had listed what they believed to be the hot items that they would want the journeyman craftsmen trained people working on in plumbing and heat and air; that they had encouraged the employees of the district that when they were available, to take the possible training to become Bureau of Apprentices Training journeyman craftsmen: that while they were waiting for the employees to be tested and receive the training, they were in the process of hiring outside people who already had the training. She also stated that they were recommending that they establish a crew of district sponsored and operating training prograns for the district's employees which would qualify them to become and receive the BAT certification; employees would volunteer for the training program and would be tested on their present skills and placed at the level in the._p,rQjram.
Mrs. Hermes asked if the test that would be used would be a regular BAT test that was already developed and if there was a mean score already determined? Mrs. Brody replied that the score was already determined and she thought the State provided the test, which was a test given to everyone; that the test would provide information on their level of skills so they‘would not have to begin the training program from start. ;
Mrs. Hill commented that it was thought the training could begin in October; that the report, was an outgrowth af a motion made by Mrs. Brody in April and she wanted to commend her and Mrs. Donwerth in pushing and setting some fast deadlines for staff to work on.

COMMITTEE REPORTS - BOARD MEMBERS' COMMENTS
A mption was made by Mrs. Brody and seconded by Mrs. Darrell: "I move that the Board conduct a national search for a Superintendent of Schools, contact several search firms requesting information on services provided, review qualifications of search firms, and employ a firm to assist the Board in the development and implementation of a search and selection procedure."
R. #257 Plans Approved for Search and Employment of Superintendent
Mrs. Hill stated that the Board felt the selection of a Superintendent would probably be one of the most important tasks that they would be asked to perform and to undertake while they were members of the school board. Listing in order of what they would expect a search team to do: 1.
Assist the Board in working up the contents and placements of ads.
2.
Help in recruitment of applicants. (It was realized that many times the applicants they were looking for were happy and already employed and would need to be recruited; also, they felt that a search team would be able to pull from all over the nation in a shorter period of time than they could as a board.)
3.
Would receive applications and do the screening of applicants.
Additionally, Mrs. Hill stated that the Board would make the final selection and determine how many they would want to interview; that teachers, community, and patrons would be involved in the process if it was determined that\was the method they would use. Amendment ;.
Before submitting an amendment to Mrs. Brody's motion, Mrs. Donwerth stated that she was told and believed that vote would be one of their most important decisions; that she had visited with people and she realized there were many advantages to hiring a professional search team and she was not totally opposed to that; however, she was not convinced that they may not have a "sleeper in their own backyard;" that there had been a concern expressed to her that in hiring an outside firm their own people were overlooked and very often the firms play musical chairs in placing superintendents; that it may or may not be true but to ascertain that was not the case and to ensure fairness to everyone, she wanted to offer the following amendment: "That the final selection of a search firm be employed and/or retained with the understanding that its search be conducted in all areas outside of Oklahoma, and that the Oklahoma City School Board will solicit arid handle all local applicants, meaning those applying from and within the State of Oklahoma." Mrs. Hermes inquired as to why they would do the local ones; why could not'tTie local people apply to the firm? To which Mrs. Donwerth replied that she thought it was a question of fairness and morale; that in talkingwith people she found that there wasn't anyone in the finalists frorn Oklahoma in the last search and the amendment to the motion woujd -ascertain that these people would have an opportunity to be considered and would be treated fairly and she thought it could be handled with a fair amount of ease. \
After further questioning by Mrs. Darrellas to if it meant screening the applicants and using the same criteria established, Mrs. Donwerth stated that they would perhaps use the same criteria and, for instance, if the search^ffrim came up with seven finalists and the Board came up with three from Oklahoma, they would have a total of ten finalists, which would be a fair way to handle it to assure that they were not overlooking people in their own state; that board members had discussed that they were elected to make decisions and that would be an important decision to make and they coulc welcome applicants from their surrounding areas. For additional clarification, Mr. Long asked Mrs. Donwerth if the Board could do as the search firm, seek out applicants in the local area who might not be interested but was someone that they felt was a good superintendent; to which she stated that she would certainly think so.
On roll call for the amendment, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, no; Mrs. Darrell, passMrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, no. Mrs. Hill declared that the amendment carried.
A concern was expressed by Mrs. Darrell that the amendment.would prohibit people or make them sort of reserved about applying by their paperwork not going through the search firm and their applications being handled separately; however, Mrs. Donwerth stated that the Board would need to set up the criteria for the search team and it could be used by them for applications in Oklahoma, and she thought it would be much simpler than they realized.

Mr. Hibbitts commented that he had nothing negative against the search firm, but from what he had heard about the past, local people were not given very high consideration, and there may be some people well qualified for the job in Oklahoma. Mrs. Hermes commented that they would set the criteria for the firm and could include in them that they submit at least two Oklahoma people which would eliminate the Board having to screen people other than the final candidates.
Discussion continued as to the Board not having the professional expertise as a search team and the objective of hiring the firm. As a closing comment, Mrs. Hill stated that there would be a national search and the team would know those persons who had the qualifications. She referred to Dr. Payzant having been received because he was recruited and Oklahoma City losing him because he was recruited by a search team and she thought they did have the expertise a'nd know-how for doing the job. She also reminded the Board that if they did it themselves they would have to raise the money for bringing them in since state law prohibited them from paying for the applicants to come in, and a part of the contract with the search firm would be that they would bring them in. After being asked about the expense of those applicants from Oklahoma, Mrs. Hill added that their expenses could still be handled through a search firm. She a^so stated that since the motion spoke to their finding a search firm, she would lik^to get that process started and do the interviewing during the current month; that*she would concur that they could do the search themselves but she thought the process would be much quicker the other way, and there was a time element involved and she would hate to go a full year without a superintendent; that Oklahoma City being an urban district, she did not think there were too many persons in the state that would meet the criteria that \yould be drawn up.
On roll call for the motion as amended, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Darrell, pass; Mrs. Brody;* yes; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared the motion carried as amended. Mrs. Hill added that she would like for the Board to get some resumes in from some firms and possibly at the latter part of the month they could get together and decide on a search firm that would meet with the Board's approval.

Freda Ameringer
Mr. Huff expressed a concern about a Level III grievance for Kenneth Wickham with regard to his being placed back in his particular assignment before school started; a request to hold it during that week, if possible; and other. Mrs. Hill explained that it had been scheduled earlier but was cancelled ty someone from the Union and other dates had been looked at but board members had conflicts. Discussion continued as to an acceptable date, after which a decision was reached to hold the hearing at a special meeting on August 27 at 4:00 p.m.
Ms. Reagan spoke in support of no news media being permitted to go to Star School and regarding actions of the Superintendent, payment to school attorneys, claims of persons involved with Star School explosion, and other.
Ms. Murphy, too, spoke in support of barring news media from Star School so the student^ would not be reminded of the explosion; payment of claims regarding the school explosion; medical expenses incurred with respect to her daughter; liability and responsibility of the district regarding the victims involved, and other.
Remarks by Ms. Ameringer were in regard to Willard School, the park and recreation center in-the neighborhood, meeting of persons on a committee to advise on a plan for consolidation of Eugene Field and Willard Schools and the committee going on record requesting that Willard School be maintained.
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Continuing with the agenda, Dr. Payzant stated: The first item in my report is a series of recommendations concerning the site for the construction of a new elementary school to serve the combined attendance areas of Eugene Field and Willard Schools. The Board some months ago decided that the two schools should be consolidated and that once a new elementary school was constructed that the two existing schools which are among the oldest in the district would be vacated and the students assigned to the new elementary school. That left with this Board a decision on a site and there was a committee^of
teachers, school staff and community people that spent time in December, January and February of this year looking at a. number of alternatives. The three alternatives that were identified were the existing sites at each of the elementary schools, Willard and Eugene Field, and a site in the McKinley Park area. The Board ultimately decided on a site in the McKinley Park area and that proposal was specified to include a segment of the southeast corner of the park and private property to the south of that segment which would be acquired by the Board. The Board authorized the district togo before the Board of Park Commissioners to request that board's support in acquiring a Section of the park on which to construct the school site. Through the dfT'iberatidns,sand community meetings, a good deal of opposition surfaced based on the concern that a segment of the park, even though it was a small segment, would be taken out of use for park land and used fQr the school site.- Ultimately, the Park Board said no to that alternative but suggested a willingness to look at other alternatives.
Since late spring the staff and I have been looking at other alternatives and have come forth this evening with a recommendation for a solution that will not require taking any of the park land for the site for the school, but will only request the Park Board to enter into a joint use agreement with the school district for use of the pa-rk land as a playground area during school hours for the school children. This would necessitate a new site for the actual construction of the school and we are recommending the-block that is bordered on the north by 13th, on the east by North Ellison, on the south by 12th, and on the west by the park, which would necessitate the Board acquiring twelve properties now owned by private citizens. The various steps that are set forth in the item in the agenda would have to occur in order for us to move forward with the project. We had hoped when we began the process to be in a position to break ground for construction this summer. Obviously, that timeline has long since past. It is important to make a decision and move forward so that these two old schools, which have temporary repairs, would enable us to use them for children for the next year or year and a.half while the new school is being constructed. It is important to move forward with the decision so that we can acquire a site and begin the process of constructing a new school.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT In discussing the situation of the Eugene Field/Willard combination, Mrs. Darrell commented that it all started out in the interest of attempting to resolve a problem in good faith but had gotten to a point of considerable frustration; that it was not the intent of the Board to create trauma nor frustration but to address the need of providing a space, a decent facility in which an educational process could take place and she thought they could still do that; however, it would perhaps be.in the best interest of everyone concerned that they digress enough to have sufficient information on all of the different options that they had heard. She continued,stating that she understood about eminent domain, having experienced it with her family; that she was concerned that they had concluded that renovation was more expensive but had not had any cost figures on it; that they had concluded that to tear the building down and to build another one on the same site might be more expensive, but they had not seen any cost figures on it; that she did have a problem with the recommendation as a first option and her concern was that it be deferred long enough until they could get more information on other options.
R. #258 Substitute Motion Approved Re Consideration of Proposed Site for Eugene Field/ Willard School cont'd
Mrs. Hermes referred to the experience the district had with the Park Commission and her reluctance in going back to them; that she, too, would like to see some cost estimates and approximate figures on buying of the property and a comparative figure of a brand new /building on the Eugene Field site to house as many children as that playground could accommodate safely and educationally, and an estimate to renovate Willard up to a standard that perhaps the Locke-Wright study showed; that she did not think they could tell the people that they were going to take their property until they could prove to them educationally and financially that it was a wise decision. Mrs. Brody commented about their concern in November with the condition at Willard School as the result of the rains, the sturdiness of the building and the safety of the children, the spring rains and the results at the Willard building; that she thought they had delayed action long enough with respect to a new site and building; that she, too, cared about people in the community and worried about their houses, but her main concern on the Board was the safety of children and they had two buildings that were in really bad shape, especially Willard; tfiat she was disappointed in the City and the lack of help from them in that the Board was/bringing back into the center of the City a brand new building arid it appeared that they were alone on it; that if they were going to delay it, she thought they should get some timelines and get the children into safe buildings as fast as possible.
Mrs. Donwerth stated that she was not aware thaththe cost'figures had not been given to the Board and her main goal, too, was safety of the children and she would like more information before making a decision. Better housing for the boys and girls, a safe place for them to learn, a nicer place for them to go to school in and for the teacher to work in were the things Mr. Long cited as what was needed; that maybe they should find out how much it would cos-t to tear down both the buildings, Eugene Field and Willard, and put up smaller buildings on each lot and they would not have to combine the two schools; that he thought maybe the cost might be prohibitive in building a new building in both places, but he had some reservations about renovating. He referred to the inadequacy of the Eugene Field building by design-, The desire to not displace any persons or hurt anybody, and other, and his willingness to start over again even if it took a little longer.
In additional comment, Mrs. DarreTi stated that she realized the staff did exactly what they had been asked to do but she thought they did not have sufficient information on the other possible options to make a reasonable decision. In response to the discussion, Dr. Payzant commented that the Board had a lot of debate about whether the two schools should be ultimately closed and consolidated and they then made the decision on everything that had come up in the way of staff planning and responding to the Board's request for information based on the assumption that there would no longer be a Willard and Eugene Field School; that if they were going to go back and reconsider that decision, certainly that would open up all kinds of new options; in terms of data, the staff was asked to look at possibly constructing schools at Eugene Field and Willard, but the assumption was a consolidated school that would serve 500 to 600 students, but as he could recall nobody had mentioned until that night the constructing of two new schools. He added that there was no way at the Eugene Field site to build a 500 or 600 pupil school with the size of that block and the play area; that they would have to close the street and acquire additional property which would face the Board with the game difficult decision of possibly displacing some people; at Willard, they could conceivably do that because there was more space, but they would have to face the issue of where the population of the children was for a consolidated school, knowing that they could not satisfy both communities; that the decision was to move further toward the Eugene Field site because that was where the greater concentration of the children would be. He also stated that their first decision should be whether they were really going to reconsider the consolidating of the two schools

and the issue of where to locate a new school; that the decision would have to be < made in terms of the best of the alternatives that were there. His closing comment was that if they were going to reconsider, he thought they would have to say that which did open up other options, but it would call for an alteration in the timeline and it would make a lot of impressions that had been given to people about the consolidation not accurate anymore, which was okay, but he thought they should try to deal with the issues in order. Mrs. Hill stated that she wanted the staff to understand that some new doors had been opened by the Board at that time and they may want to relook at the situation.
Substitute Motion
A substitute motion was then made by Mrs. Darrell and seconded by Mrs. Hermes that thej.recQmmendaition.be deferred until the next regular school board meeting, September 7, and that information be provided the Board on cost estimates for renovation and repair, and a cost estimate or the advantages or disadvantages on demolishing one facility and reconstructing it.
With respect to the timeline, Dr. Payzant referred to the necessity of knowing to what condition the renovation would be made in order to provide renovation costs, to which Mrs. Darrell responded that they would need the assets and liabilities of doinc^the renovation or considering a new structure, information on the enquiring of property, the plan to close the street, the amount of money it would cost for the vawbus options, and other; a cost estimate, for example, of what it would cost to repair the building to a sufficient degree for its use.-
Mrs. Hermes stated that her suggestion on the renovation would include what the Locke-Wright study had proposed, just doing the heating, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and getting it all renovated like an old house; not bringing it up to 1982 specifications but receiving some cost estimates..on a new building and on basic renovation. Mrs. Hill stated that she would be interested in the timeline as listed in the recommendation that had been presented. As an additional request, Mrs. Hermes stated that she wanted to know the amount of money left in the Bond Fund; how much money they would have to work with. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody, no; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes.

To ensure a normal, smooth opening of school, the district will not allow media representatives in the school or on the school grounds during the first two weeks of classes. Mrs. Brody then expressed a concern about the timeline and the fact that she thought the children should have at least one year of not being inundated by the news media.
Amendment Following the discussion, Mrs. Brody moved an amendment which was seconded by Mrs. Darrell that the news media be kept away from Star Elementary School for the 1982-83 school year and from any Star pupil in any other building, and if they want information, to go through the Office of Public Information.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT R. #263 Adoption of Resolution Re Tuition Tax Credit
It was moved by Mrs. Hermes and seconded by Mrs. Donwerth that the Board adopt the following resolution to be sent to the Oklahoma Congressional delegation:
The Board of Education of Oklahoma City Public School District 1-89 is opposed to any plan that would give taxpayers federal income tax credit for. tuition paid for a student enrolled i n a private school .
The Board believes that these tuition tax credit plans bad educational policy, bad economic policy, and may be unconsti tuti onal.
are
Tuition tax credits would weaken and undermine America's traditional system of universal public education. They would induce ajt- educational caste system by drawing children from middle and jiigh-income families into private schools leaving the poor, disadvantaged, and expensive-to-educate children behind in the ^public schools.
â– Tuition tax qredits would give private schools an unfair advantage over public schools', since private schools can refuse to offer services that public schools must provide. Private schools may also be selective about wh-om they admit.
Tuition tax credits would cost the federal treasury billions of dollars annually. This loss cannot be defended in the face of record deficits in the federal budget and the need to reduce government spending. Tuition tax credits would disproportionately benefit parents in higher tax brackets while public school parents would be taxed twice...once for public schools and a second time through the tax bonus granted to private school parents.
Eighty percent of all private schools in the United States have a religious affiliation. Tuition tax credits could v.-idl ate the constitutional principal of the separation of church and state. The Board wants it understood that is does not oppose private elementary and secondary schools in any way. Private schools should be maintained^asa valid option for parents and students who exercise this choire^and are willing to pay for it. .c> • '

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Remarks Superintendent
Dr. Payzant reported:
1.
Measles and Immunization Records You have been reading a good deal in the paper about the concern in the county with the number of cases of measles that have been reported and as the result of those cases we have been asked by the State Department of Education to take a much more rigorous position this year and not admit students to school who do not have their immunization records in order when they appear to enroll. In the past we have granted a 14-day grace period so that a student who comes to register on the first day or two of school and did not have the records with him or her, that 14 days would be granted for them to get the records. Unless things change in the next couple of weeks we will be taking a very firm stand, not just with newly enrolling five-year-olds and kindergarten but with all new enrollees or others who do not have their records up to date. That is not going to be a very popular stand with some but I wanted you to be aware of it and the .State Department of Education has requested us to enforce this requirement very strictly. There are only three reasons under the statutes that exemptions can be granted. One is for medical reasons where a doctor says that a child should not be immunized and another is for religious reasons, and there is a personal exemption which is allowed for a parent who does not want his or her child immunized. But aside from that everybody has to be immunized and we will enforce that state statute as requested by the State Department.
2.
Less, Vandal ism I hope you saw in the packet of materials the progress that has been made in the district in lessening the cost of maintenance as the result of vandalism.lt was'.almost:sutciin lia]fithe last year, down from $78,000 in 1980-81 to $40,000 in 1981-82. I think that is a significant point to draw attention to because a lot of people are responsible for working toward that end.
3.
Survey - Extended Day Program I have put in your packets a draft of the summary of the initial survey we had done on the extended day program. You will recall that earlier in the summer you asked us to conduct such a survey. We would like to have some feedback from you at a meeting sometimes soon on that survey and what next steps, if any, you would like us to take.
4.
Saxon Algebra Textbook A study was done by Maridyth McBee in our Planning, Research and Evaluation Department on the Saxon Algebra textbook versus the Dolciani’ textbook in Algebra I, and I can assure that this study is not only going to get locaT attention but national attention. I hope that you have taken time to read it and particularly look at the conclusions that appear at the end of the study. Even though I did not forewarn her of this, I would like for Maridyth to take a few minutes and summarize the high points because you will be reading about this study. It- is something very positive that we have done here in the school district and I think it is cjoing to stand the test of criticism in time.
Ms. BcBee stated:
.
Recent research in what is beneficial to Algebra I students are that they have distributive practice in their homework, meaningJthat each homework assignment that they have they have problems that were from topics in other days' lessons. Also, if students are learning the basics of Algebra before they get into advanced theories, they can -learn the theories more efficiently. And for males if they have word problems that have fancy things like the haves have so many and the have nots have so many instead of strictly rational topics, they do better.
There is a textbook by Saxon that have those characteristics. The Dolciani book that is currently being used, until the recent decision, is more on the line of the modern mathematics movement where they have a lot of special little fun things and none of these things that the recent research said was good. Basically, in my study we have had teachers from each high school teach one class with Dolciani and one class with Saxon. At the end of the year I made up a test that was comprehensive over the topics of both of the textbooks, and each of the students in the study took the class. I compared the students, and when I did that I used the statistic that equates the group on their initial math ability. The score used for tha<t was their California Achievement Test score, the score they had before they entered Algebra I.. The Saxon students scored way, way superior to the Dolciani students. I also looked at that by ability levels of low,medium and high, and the Saxon students scored better at all three ability levels, which

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Ms. McBee cont'd was amazing to me. The teachers seemed to think that Saxon was much better for the high and average, but they weren't positive on how their low achieving students would do with both books. When it came out, the results showed that Saxon did better for the low students too.
Dr. Payzant commented, additionally, that one of the interesting things that happened with respect to homework was that the Saxon students had more absences, did not address their homework in the same same way that Dolciani students did and they still came out on top. He added that one of the reasons it was significant, was that the textbook business is a very competitive one but Mr. Saxon really had not had the opportunity to get a hearing before the major textbook publishers and had really conducted a one person campaign to try and demonstrate that approach can make a difference; that a pilot program was done with his materials and the results of that pilot program had been used, the hard data, to make a decision to go ahead and adopt the Saxon math book for Algebra I classes in the school district for the 1982-83 school year, recognizing that the book did not get on the state adoption list; that local school district funds would have to be used to purchase the book rather than the state textbook money that was allocated. He also stated that in that case where it was going to make such a difference in students, he did not think that there was any question that it was the right decision and the district was moving ahead. Upon?questioning by board members, Dr. Payzant stated that all Algebra I classes would be using the Saxon textbook for 1982-83, and he understood that Saxon was writing an Algebra II book which was not yet available. Mrs. Darrell stated that she did appreciate getting the study on the extended day program; had not had a chance to go through it thoroughly, but she would do so since she was the one who requested the information.

With regard to Item 15, Mrs. Brody inquired about the word processor units as to their use and why two were being purchased for Title I since federal funds were being decreased. J
Dr. Payzant, Mr. Price, and Ms. Wycoff responded as to the capability of the units, how they were presently being used in the various offices, and how they proposed the use of those that would be purchased. A concern was expressed by JMrs. Hermes with respect to Item 14, purchase of band uniforms, that since Southeast was invited to play at the Sun Bowl, she wondered if a penalty clause should be included to ensure that they arrive on time, to which Mr. Allen replied that they had already secured a $2,000 bond. Mrs. Hermes also asked about the uniforms* being al-Kwool as opposed to being part
wool. After further discussion with Mr. Allen, it was determined that the wool uniforms last longer.
Mrs. Hill asked about Item 16, and their being able to do the gym floors before school started.

The retainer fee which is to be paid to the firm for engineering services follows:

Change Order Re Grade on Road Approval of Change Order #2 in the contract with Embers Construction, Inc., for the Star Spencer Bus Maintenance Facility to change the grade on the road heading from the bus lot to Spencer Road and modify a box culvert to assure proper drainage.
Mrs. Hermes stated that she had some concern about Item 1 and wondered if they needed expertise on a^construction project, would it not be provided by the architect?
Dr. Payzant explained that the projects referred to were not like a major project such as the construction of a school but were smaller ones being done either by the Maintenance Department or specific smallerprojects that they would not have an architect do, but would still require some engineering -eqxertise. Mrs. Hermes continued to discuss with Dr. Payzant thepossibility of looking at more than one firm to do the work, and probably having a Board committee look at two or three firms' who would offer their services for percentages of fees.
Inquiry was made by Mrs. Darrell as to how the firm was selected, to which Dr. Payzant replied that they had done work for the district over the years and had a good reputation in the community; that he had no problem with backing up if the Board felt more comfortable with a process of going throiugh a Board committee and taking a look at a number of different engineering firms, but he would like authorization to go ahead with CoT1 ins-Soter on Item 2 in order to not hold up that project. Motion Dies for Lack of Second 4.-
A motion was then made by Mrs. Hermes that a Board committee of three be chosen to look at engineering firms and bring to the Board a recommendation. There being no second to the motion, Mrs. Hill declared that the motion died for lack of a second. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes.

LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING Opening Statement - Jim Huff________ *Mr. Huff presented his opening statement as follows: The assignment of newspaper adviser is an extracurricular position. It has a joint teaching position that goes with it, that of journalism instructor. As a journalism instructor it involves a daily scheduled classroom activity with students. The negotiated agreement is very specific; the language in Section III, E.l. - "The immediate supervisor in selecting sponsors for extracurricular activities shall choose the best qualified staff member."
This requirement is also applicable to the journalism teaching position. This grievance in no way is questioning the authority of the principal to make in-building assignments. That is not an issue. The grievance is challenging the removal of the most experienced and the best qualified person available for the positions at Southeast High School. The grievant also challenges the reason given to justify the removal. Explanation was offered at a conference on April 14. A written explanation dated April 19 was offered to Mr. Wickham and at a Level I grievance hearing on May 11 explanations were given for the removal. Article VI, Section III, Paragraph D.1A gives Mr. Wickham the right to request a written explanation. If the administrative explanation is incorrect, Paragraph D.1A. 1 gives him the right to grieve his building assignment changes. Administrative decisions to change building assignments must have justifiable reasons, if the reasons ^fexist. No one argues that the changes cannot be made. The written explanation given to Mr. Wickham April 19 said nothing. It said the reason for the change was "a financial reason." That did not explain the reason for removal.
The April 19 response also referred to the newspaper being subsidized the last two years. That also did not explain the reason for removal of Mr. Wickham as newspaper adviser. We maintain that the qualifications listed in the contract, Article VI, Section III, Paragraph H.2 were not considered by Principal Merideth when he removed Mr. Wickham. Mr. Wickham's qualifications were not evaluated and they were not applied. The Level II grievance hearing decision did not correctly present Mr. Wickham's position. The decision by the hearing officer, Mr. Jim Savage, made conclusions that were not based upon testimony given at the Level II hearing on May 21. We will be specific about our concerns in the Level II decision. We will call Mr. Savage as a witness. His determination of the unimportance of experience as ""'a- factor for consideration of Mr. Wickham's qualifications is very difficult for us to understand. The removal of Mr. Wickham from the extracurricular position is a reduction in compensation. The contract states clearly no reduced compensation without just cause. Since April 14, the conference when Mr. Meridettu4fiformed Mr. Wickham, Mr. Wickham has attempted to address the alleged inability of the newspaper-to pay its bills. Several projected income reports were presented to Principal Merideth. When the T9’8T-82-sc-hool year ended, the solvency of the newspaper was not a projection; it was a fact. The bills were paid. It is essential'.that the board members understand the issues discussed April 14 and May 11.-
We will show that the "Spart'an Shout," the newspaper, was financially solvent at the end of 1981-82. The "Spartan'.1,'yearbook was not able to pay all of the outstanding bills by the end of 1981-82. We will show that Mr. Wickham was given no instructions at the beginning of. 1981-82 or,^n^time during the year to make the newspaper financially solvent or he would' be removed as journalism instructor. Mr. Wickham has cooperated with the yearbook instructor, the building principal, and the building administration in efforts to improve the newspaper's financial status. We will show that Mr. Wickham is the best qualified, the most experienced person to be assigned to the journalism position. Number six is important. Prior to 1980-81 and 1981-82, the two years of the subsidy, the newspaper was solvent. It was able to pay its bills without a building Subsidy. Number seven, in 1973-74 when Mr. Wickham was first’assigned the position, the newspaper was having financial problems. Mr. Wickham turned the financial status around and made? the newspaper solvent. The removal of Mr. Wickham as newspaper adviser will cause him to lose over $700 in salary. We will attempt to„present proof and testimony to substantiate these statements.
458
LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING Ms.Mason's opening statement follows:
Mr. Merideth is being grieved on Article VIII, Section 1, Paragraph A of the negotiated agreement. This article speaks to the reduction in compensation without just cause. Mr. Merideth is being grieved also on Article VI, Section 3, E.l. Ths section speaks to the immediate supervisor choosing the best qualified person for an extracurricular assignment. We will prove that the principal has not violated the contract in either instance.
Mr. Wickham taught both English and Journal ism at Southeast High School during the 1981-82 school year. With the teaching of Journalism he also had the extracurricular assignment of the school newspaper. Mr. Wickham was notified in accordance with the negotiated agreement that his teaching assignment for’the 1982-83 school year would not include the teaching of Journalism. This was solely because the principal found it necessary for financial reasons to give the sponsorship of the newspaper and the yearbook to one person. We will prove that the principal has acted in accordance with the responsibility invested in him by this school board. We will show that the principal has;not violated the contract. We will request that the grievance be denied. Testimony Ms. Petersen gave testimony with regard to her teaching responsibilities at Southeast Ms. Petersen High School and her responsibility as an Oklahoma City Federation of Teachers member in that building; her attendance of the Level I grievance hearing for Mr. Wickham; her interpretation of Mr. Merideth's statement about financial reasons as related to the grievant being removed as newspaper adviser; if Mr. Merideth had indicated that the newspaper was not paying its bills for the current year and what was said about subsidies for the newspaper; did Mr. Wickham submit a document to Mr. Merideth at.,the hearing which was a projection of what the newspaper's income would be; did the document indicate what the document wbuld be; if Mr. Merideth presented a document during that hearing; her explanation of Pub-Pak; if there was discussion in the Pub-Pak as to how the money would be divided between the newspaper and the yearbook; if Mr. Merideth indicated his awareness that Mr. Wickham had participated in the development of the fund-raising activity, Pub-Pak; did Mr. Wickham indicate that any money not used by the newspaper could be used by the yearbook and was Mr. Merideth satisfied with that fact; did Mr. Merideth express any dissatisfaction about Mr. Wickham's teaching or carrying out his newspaper responsibilities; what was the criteria suggested to Mr. Merideth aboiiit Mr. Wickham remaining as newspaper adviser; did Mr. Merideth indicate that Mr. Wickham would be held responsible! in'any way with the yearbook's ability or inability to pay their bills; did she give the same general testimony at Level II; was there any cross examination of her testimony at Level II; and other. In reviewing the Level II decision, Mr. Huff called Mr. Savage as a witness. At this time, Mss vMason stated that it was rather unusual to review the Level II summary in a Level III hearing but She would not offered objection. ..
Testimony Mr. Savage
Mr. Savage gave testimony as to the, witnesses that were called by Mr. Huff at the Level II hearing on behalf of Mr. Wickham; in'"thre-synopsis of testimony,what was his explanation of the statement referring to Ms. Petersen's testimony; and other.
Ms. Mason, again, expressed a concern that time was being spent to review a hearing that had already passed and they wereXp a new hearing at that time; that she thought it was out of order and wanted to raise'her objection to it. Mr. Huff indicated that the information was being reviewed as an explanation as to why they went to Level III. * ~ In response, Mrs. Hill statedthat she would concur with what Ms. Mason had said, that they were there to hear .the grievance at Level III because they did not agree with the decision at Level II and asked Mr. Huff to continue in that manner.
Discussion continued with regard to if Mr. Savage's Level II decision was also considered to be a narrative of what happened at Level II, a discussion which took place at a meeting with regard to holding Level III grievance hearings, the purpose of the Level III hearjng and consideration of testimony only at that time after which the Board would make its decision, and other. Mrs Huff continued with the questioning of Mr. Savage by asking what evidence Mr. Merideth presented at the Level II hearing to show that Mr. Wickham was not the best qualified for the newspaper position, after which he stated that he was releasing Mr. Savage because of what an attorney would call a hostile witness.

Mr. Huff's closing statement was as follows:
,
We have offered testimony and exhibits. The issue here is the removal of the best qualified, most experienced person. There was an explanation given that was labeled financial reasons. The financial reasons that were explained were payment of bills. Mr. Wickham has been able to pay his bills. Had’ he received the full amount from the Pub-Packet agreement he would have been able to even pay back the $800 subsidy. The yearbook still owes money to the General Fund. It was caused an advancement but the money is still owed. Mr. Wickham has ten years of experience. He gave testimony to workshops. The yearbook instructor

Closing Statement - Mr. Huff cont'd
has not had any actual classroom experience. Nonehof these qualifications were applied in the removal of Mr. Wickham. The contract is clear. It says shall choose the best qualified.
There is no money saved at the building by combining newspaper/yearbook. Both teachers would draw their base salary. The newspaper extra-duty pay would be paid in this case to one person instead of the two, so there is no savings to the district; there is no savings for the school. Financial efficiency was never an issue with Mr. Wickham. It was a concern over the payment of bills. The projected inability, Mr. Wickham attempted to show that the projection would be the money was there and that was not unusual; that is the way most of the bills are paid from journal ism and newspaper at the end after everything has been coll ected. He was never told to produce a solvent newspaper or be removed; that was Mr. Wickham's concern, Mr. Wickham's initiative. Mr. Wickham did not argue .with the advance was reduced. He attempted to deal with the loss building monies by the Pub-Pak,'increased newspaper ads. His pride in the newspaper is unquestioned. His desire to remain as the newspaper adviser is unquestioned. His willingness to do all that is necessary to make the newspaper solvent is unquestioned. It is really ironic if he is allowed to be removed. All the groundwork that he has laid will be used to make the newspaper solvent this y^ar. The contract has clearly been violated. It is a reduction in compensation. .We would simply ask the school board to weigh on the testimony that has been .given and grant the grievance and the relief that was asked for. Closing Statement - Ms. Mason
The following is Ms. Mason's closing statement: Through this hearing there has been an extensive discussion about the newspaper being solvent for one year. The issue here is greater than one year. This is the issue that has to do with the principal making the best possible decision he can that will keep the activities accounts of both journalism and newspaper in the black.
Through the testimony of Mr. Merideth who is charged with the responsibility of making teaching and extra-duty assignments, we have learned that the changes in Mr. Wickham's assignment was necessary to create more efficient operation and sale of the school's newspaper and yearbook by consolidating the assignment under one person. Additionally, monetary savings could be realized by consolidating the two assignments. The newspaper has not been completely solvent and required subsidy from the General Fund. Pub-Pak was not initiated solely by Mr. Wickham. It was a joint effort which is proven by the contract in your hand. Bookkeeping would be easier and more efficient if both assignments were combined under one person. The consolidation would create better organization and al-leW'Tor the payment of bills incurred in a more responsive manner. The consolidation would cause Tess confusion for students.-,Students working on newspaper and yearbook would have easier access-to-'persons who advertise with the school and thereby allow fqr. better relations. Consolidation would completely remove the debate surrounding'-the sale of Pub-Pak. We believe that better relations between staff and students would result from this change. The negotiated contract procedures for notification and reassignment were followed explicitly; the contract’was notviolated. The extra-duty assignment is made annually. Contracts are prepared and'issued by Personnel Services each year based on selections made by principals fdr'the extra-duty assignment. The Personnel Office sent out letters in April notifying extra-duty personnel that their contract expire-d at the end of the 1981-82 school year. The issue here is not whether or -not the newspaper is solvent. The issue is one of financial management. We wish you to know that the need for more effective operation is the total reason for the principal making this change. We request that this grievance be denied.

LEVEE III GRIEVANCE HEARING Mrs. Darrell indicated that she had some concern about the Pub-Pak agreement in that it appeared that it was not followed. She proceeded by asking questions about the agreement with respect ot if all bookkeeping was kept by yearbook; if receipt books were sent to yearbook to be audited; and if the printing bill was paid for jointly by both staffs?
Discussion
Mr. Wickham replied that the yearbook staff did do the audit on a monthly basis which was double-checked by the newspaper business manager, and a copy of which did not go to the principal.
Mrs. Darrell also asked when was the yearbook distributed to students, what kinds of funds the yearbook operated with in the interim;, what happened to the picture money; if it was the philosophy of yearbook and newspaper to break evnen or operate on a profit-making basis? In response, Mr. Mickham stated that the yearbook was distributed in late May and the books were sold in advance; that the picture money was a fund-raiser which generated approximately $40; and that his understanding of his financial responsibility was that they break even on the newspaper.
Mrs. Donwerth commented that she knew Mr. Wickham was an excellent teacher and Mr. Merideth an excellent principal; however, she thought the case was unique in that journalisnfr was considered as both teaching and extracurricular, and they went hand-inhand. She also stated that since fiscal management was the sole responsibility of the building/tidministrator, she would make the following motion which was seconded by Mr. Long:’ "I move .that we find for the grievant but deny the relief sought." Mrs. Hermes stated that she wanted the record to reflect that for the first time since she had been sitting on the Board, she agreed with Mr. Huff that every portion of the contract had been violated as indicated; that a financial situation and the inability to pay bills had been used as just cause but testimony had shown that the real reason was to consolidate a job and make bookkeeping easier; that the contract stated in Article VI, Section 3, Paragraph 2 "in-building assignment shall be based on student needs," and to her the consolidation of a job and making bookkeeping easier was not student need.
Mrs. Hermes also stated that testimony on both sides had shown that the paper was solvent, and to her Mr. Wickham was the best qualified for the position with regard to the newspaper job, which made that section of the contract having been violated. She also referred to Mr. Merideth having stated that he would reinstate Mr. Wickham if the newspaper could pay its bills, and that had not happened; that she believed all of the articles referred to as being violated, had indeed been violated, and Mr. Wickham should be reinstated because just cause had not been shown.
In an additional comment, Mrs. Donwerth stated as clarification for her motion,, she was saying that some of the contract was not clear or was violated in certain forms but since they had- had some problems with management in some of the schools and if it was the building administrator's sole responsibility for fiscal management, she thought he should be able to have the authority to make .that judgment.
Mrs. Hermes agreed with Mrs. Donwerth except that.she thought also it was the principal's responsibility to show just cause properly; that the real reason was to make the bookkeeping easier and to consolidate a job, bat was- not,.what the principal wrote to Mr. Wickham. Mrs. Darrell commented that she1had a problem with finding it just cause especially with the timeline on the finances, because she did not believe the principal had any way of knowing on April 14 what the financial position was and she did not think just cause was properly indicated; that she could not find in the testimony that the principal had financial reasons to do that since he had no access to the audit, and with the timeline on the income and the in-flow of the money, there was no way either yearbook or the newspaper could have determined whether it was financially sound or unsound as of April 14, ahd she did not think just cause was stated. Substitute Motion
A substitute motion was made by Mrs. Brody and seconded by Mrs. Hermes to uphold the grievant and grant the relief sought. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, no; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, no; and Mrs. Hill, yes.

COMMITTEE REPORTS - BOARD MEMBERS' COMMENTS
Mrs. Donwerth reported that the committee to draft a contract with Harold Webb Associates in the Superintendent search, Mrs. Hermes, Mr. Hibbitts and herself, did meet and prepared a proposed draft; that it was the recommendation of the committee that the contract agreement between the Oklahoma City Board of Education and the Harold Webb Associates be approved as a proposed draft as printed.
Committee Report - Contract with Consultant on Superintendent Search
Mrs. Hill indicated that Or. Harold Webb had received the proposed contract as/of that date, and since both parties had a copy, he would be available to meet with the Board on Monday evening, September 13, if they could meet at that time to go over the contract and discuss some of the duties of the performance tasks as they had been spelled out. After a very brief discussion, Mrs. Hill stated that the Board would meet with Dr. Webb on Monday, September 13, 1982, at 7:00 p.m. to.,go into details with regard to the contract. " As an additional committee report, Mrs. Hill .stated that .she had appointed a committee which consisted of Mrs. Darrell, chairperson;^Mrs.~BrMy"‘and Mr. Hibbitts, to prepare a list of advisory groups who would be invited to provide Harold Webb Associates with suggestions on the criteria to be used in the selection of the Superintendent. Mrs. Darrell reported that the committee did meet and they were providing each board member with a copy of a suggested list of advisory groups. She stated that as a part of the selection process for the selection of a new Superintendent, it was their feeling that the categories that were important to be covered in terms of developing an advisory group would be as follows:
SUPERINTENDENT'S STAFF (Representatives from management staff - Executive Assistant, Administrative Assistants, Assistant Superintendents, and Directors) MEDIA
(Printed, TV, Radio)
PRINCIPALS (Secondary, Elementary, and Fifth Year Center)
Committee Report Advisory Groups on Criteria to be Used in Selection of Superintendent

Committee Report Advisory Groups on Criteria to be Used in Selection of Superintendent cont'd
TEACHER GROUPS (American Federation of Teachers, United Teaching Profession and their representatives) SUPPORT PERSONNEL (Secretarial, Custodial, Food Service, Maintenance, and Laborers International Union)
PARENT GROUPS (PTA, PTSA, school-related organizations) STUDENT GROUPS (Student Council, FBLA, et al) COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND GROUPS (Chamber of Commerce, Arts Council, League of Women Voters, Urban League, Church . and Clergy groups, Neighborhood Associations, NAACP, Elected Officials, Business Leaders, and Adopt-A-School Businesses)
After Mr. Long inquired as to who would make the decision on how the individual representatives would be selected from each group, Mrs. Darrell explained that that concern was mentioned in the committee meeting and it was their thinking that the different organizations would be afforded the option to select their representatives. She^also stated that in addition to the PTA, PTSA and school-related organizations, there was discussion that each board member select three patrons from their particular district, which would provide for every quadrant of the district to be represented. Mrs. Darrell also referred to the Superintendent's staffing, stating that, again, after^li'scus&iion it was felt that it would?be important that selection of those individuals be based on their particular role; that is, if they were filling a key role in the organizational structure. The "Adopt-A-School Businesses" was added to the listing after Mrs. Brody stated that she thought these should be added since they had demonstrated a commitment to the public school system, as opposed to perhaps the Chamber of Commerce per se..
Discussion continued with respect to non-support of the Oklahoma City school system by the Chamber of Commerce and support exhibited by businesses that had been involved in the Adopt-A-School Program. Following the discussion it was agreed that Adopt-A-School businesses would be added to the list and the Chamber of Commerce would remain on the list as presented. R. #279 Proposed Contract With Consultant on Superintendent Search Adopted
A motion was made by Mrs. Donwerth and seconded by Mr. Hibbitts to adopt the proposed draft of the contract,with the consultant on the Superintendent search, contingent upon approval of Harold Webb Associates.

BOARD MEMBERS' COMMENTS cont'd Comments Mrs. Hermes
Mrs. Hermes commented that she visited Star and Green Pastures the first day of school and it was a smooth opening; that she wanted to congratulate Mrs. Hill for keeping the media away and she wanted to thank the media for staying.away; that Willard was clean'and safe and the teachers whom'she had talked with were pleased with the renovations that had been accomplished and they were waiting to get on the third floor. She also stated that she visited Harding; the school was clean and quiet and things were going smoothly; that she had not received any calls from angry parents and it had been a wonderful beginning for the year. Mrs. Hermes, too, stated that she visited Edgemere; that it had a smooth opening but they had: a large number of non-English speaking children and she would like to set up a meeting with Dr. Payzant and the bilingual coordinators and talk about the situation.

BOARD MEMBERS' COMMENTS cont'd Mrs. Darrell stated that she had received some calls, mainly about the heat; that she attended the football game of Star Spencer versus Millwood and she was happy to say that Star Spencer pulled it out; that this was the only facility she had visited since the last meeting but the game was fantastic and was well attended by a lot of patrons.
Comments Mrs. Darrell
Comments by Mr. Hibbitts included his visiting Rancho Village on one of the hottest days and it was a real site to see; that everyone should visit the school and see the process that goes on there. He added that he, too, received a lot of calls about the heat.
Comments Mr. Hibbitts
Mrs. Hill stated that she thought most of them had visited some buildings and it was nice to see how clean the buildings were which indicated that they had a good summer; that she wanted to compliment the Board because she thought the two actions that they had taken recently had received a lot of favorable attention, of which one was about the media at Star and she appreciated them staying away. She also added that she had received some favorable comments from over the state that it was a very positive action and she thought the Board should be commended on that. She referred to the other action taken on the condition of the buildings which indicated that the Board was concerned and wanted clean buildings and they did feel like it was now a team effort and it could be seen how much nicer the buildings were looking at the current time. A Mrs. Hitj, too, commented that she and Mrs. Hermes attended an activity on awards being ^fven, sponsored by the Maintenance Department, to schools on the maintenance of grounds around the school buildings and the following buildings did receive an award over the summer for improvement of their grounds: Arcadia, Arthur, Coolidge, EugOne Field, Fil-lmore, Gatewood, Heronville, Lafayette, Linwood, Monroe, Oakridge, Parmelee, Pierce, Ridgeview, Riverside, Sequoyah, Shidler, Shields Heights, Southern Hills, Spencer, West Nichols Hills, Westwood, Creston Hills, Edwards, Longfellow, Truman, Capitol Hill Middle School, Harding, Jackson, Jefferson,"Taft, Webster, Classen, Cleveland Innovative, Marshall, Northeast, Northwest Classen, Carver and Washington Centers, the Administration Building and Service Center; that to those groups that did win the award, the members of the Board wanted to offer their congratulations and maybe next year they could all win the award.

Dr. Payzant commented that it was the first time since he had been Superintendent for the district that any travel had been denied; that he did not know what he should read into it in terms of his last month on the job but he was extremely disappointed.
As an additional comment, Mrs. Hill stated that it was probably spelled out in the contract, too; to which Dr. Payzant agreed. Mrs. Donwerth responded, stating that her problem with the item was the length of time that Dr. Payzant would be with the district; that the contract was being ended with his leaving which was valid until June 30, which in essence the contract had already been set aside. In that Dr. Payzant would be leaving on October 28, she stated that her concern was would the district benefit from paying the trip expense to Orlan&o, Florida at that particular time. Mrs. Donwerth added that she would have no objection to a member of the staff or someone going in lieu of Dr. Payzant, but she ditf’feel like the money spent should come back and be beneficial to the district.
As a final ,comment, Dr. Payzant stated that he did not intend to deal with a ÂŤ. three-fourths job of his contract for the remaining days that he would be with the district; that he was going to give it one hundred percent; that the only people who are allowed to attend Large City Superintendents Conferences are the superintendents of a large city school district and they are not allowed to send an alternate. He added that obviously they had spoken, which was fine, and the alternative he had would be to go at his own expense which he would do. In introducing the next item on the agenda, Dr. Payzant stated that the practice each year is to present to the Board in the fall of the year suggested legislative goals for the Board's consideration and they were a bit ahead of schedule in presenting it the current year because there was work that goes on between the present time and the beginning of the legislative session in committee hearings that really would Warrant early knowledge of the Board's intention with respect to legislative goals for the 1983 session. He added that the list was not an exhaustive one and members of the Board might find that they had items to add or delete or they might want,to modify the language in the existing items; therefore, he was recommending thai/they not act on the list of goals until September 20, which would give them ample time to make any modifications they would choose to make.
Legislative Goals Submitted for Action on September 20, 1982
He added that they would note that as in the past they had separated goals in categories dealing ..with school finance, programs, school operations and retirement; that they had tried to focus in on those areas that the staff believed to be most important, but he would urge the- Board to give consideration to any modifications they might want and bring those Eadkprior to taking action at the September 20 meeting. Mrs. Hill commented that if board members had*any -suggestions they might want to submit them in writing ahead of time so that everyone could have a copy.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
Dr. ^ayzant reported:
At the last board meeting the staff was requested to study a variety of alternatives for Eugene Field and Willard Schools. I will summarize the information that has been gathered by the staff with some assistance from the architects' firm, HTB, Inc., and then respond to questions and comments that the Board may have. By way of history, at the last meeting a recommendation was presented to the Board and rejected concerning construction of a new school that would consolidate the attendance areas of Eugene Field and Willard at a site adjacent to McKinley Park that would not require construction of anew school on park land but would require the use of the park for a playground area. In response to that recommendation which was rejected, the Board asked for several bits of data and I have organized the report as follows. I am going to give you information concerning minimum work that would be required at each of the existing schools. A second option would be to renovate, doing repair work and renovation to the basic systems in the schools. A third option would be total renovation which would essentially gut the interior of the two buildings and completely redo the interior space while retaining the exterior structure of the buildings. A fourth option would be to combine a renovation of the basic systems in the two old buildings with some kind of an addition to provide additional classroom space, particularly at Eugene Field where the numbers of students will be greater than at Willard if you retain the existing attendance areas. A fifth option would be to^db a new school or new schools, and I will give you some estimates of new school construction based on the student population at such a school. A sixth option that might be workable at a school like Willard would be to take the idea that was presented by Mr. Long some months ago,which I will explain later, and construct some facilities on the Willard site that could be used for classroom space now and should winds change in the future that would result in no longer having a school at that location,* these facilities could be sold as duplexes for residential housing. Finally, I will comment on some of the advantages and disadvantages as the staff sees them of approaching the modification of the facilities at the two sites separately rather than consolidating the schools as was originally directed by the Board.
So the first option really deals with the minimum renovation work at the existing buildings. At Eugene Field we are talking about $148,000 for that basic work of five items, additional bus pickup, tuck-pointing of the exterior brick, the addition of accoustical ceilings, replacement of classroom floors, and remodeling of interior doors. That would be $148,000 and if the toilet rooms were remodeled, that would be an additional $76,000. So on the option, there would be a total of $224,000 at Eugene Field. For the same kind of basic work at Willard, bus pickup and, in the case of Willard, rewiring, relighting and accoustical ceiling, remodel of interior doors, and replacement of classroom floors, we are talking about an estimate of $197,000. If you add the toilet room renovation, that would be an additional $84,000, for a total of $281,000. This option would; be only one to put the buildings in better shape for slTgrt term utilization, anywhere from three to five years perhaps.
Option number two is the first one that was costedJjy^Mr. Domby Zinn of HTB. The first option is for renovation of basic systems only. We took the Locke-WrightFoster study that was done several years ago and updated the cost estimates for the work outlined by that firm when it did its study of some 50 buildings in the school district back in 1979. For Eugene Field School! the basic renovation work using that list of repairs and renovations would be $462,000. For Willard it would be $869,000.
A third option would be to do a total renovation which would essentially gut the interior bf the building and redo totally the interior space. Such an approach at Eugene Field would be $1,088,000 and at Willard $1,556,000. A fourth option woujd be to use an existing building at either location or both, depending on the projections for enrollment, and combine renovation work with the basic systems of the Locke-Wright-Foster study with an addition of some classroom space. If that approach were followed at Eugene Field, we would be talking about $809,000. If it were followed at Willard, it would be $1,115,000.
Discussion Alternatives for Upgrading Facilities for Eugene Field and Willard Schools
475
MINUTES OF MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 7, 1982 - CONT'D
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Discussion Alternatives for Upgrading Facilities for Eugene Field and Willard Schools cont'd .............
The next option would be to construct one or more new schools, presumably on the location of the current schools. Mr. Zinn, since we were not in the position to talk in detail about programs, took the existing cost per square foot figures that are current in the industry for new school construction based on an assumption of so many square feet per pupil in classroom auxiliary and hall room space.
So if the Board were to build one or more 300-student elementary schools, we would be talking of a ball park estimate without land of $1,500,000 to $1,600,000. If the enrollment projected were 350 students, we would be talking about $1,800,000 to $1,900,000. For a 600-student elementary school, $3,100,000 to $3,200,000. In that final instance if we were talking about a 600-student school, it would not be possible to locate a school of that size on the existing Eugene Field property and have adequate playground space even if the old building were โ ข razed would require additional land that would necessitate most likely the , closure of a street and the acquisition of some private property. The sixth option would be to consider at a site like Willard constructing adjacent to the existing facility, a.-, number of buildings that would be such that they could be converted to duplexes at some time in the future and sold tfor residential housing. The Board has the benefit of some preliminary ^ drawings done by our Engineering Department that show units that would have ^approximately 1600 square feet that would be divided for two 800-foot classrooms 'plus toilets. When these facilities are constructed, they are constructed with plumbing and electrical systems that would make conversion to residential; property easy when the time comes for using them in that way. Those units probably could be constructed for about $60,000 each, So two classrooms for every $60,000.
Then an option for an all-purpose space, for a gym, large group activities and the like, would be to construct a facility similar to that built at Dunbar School, which is a steel-sided building and that kind of structure probably could be built for about $200,000. So you can look at that option in terms of figuring how many classrooms and perhaps a unit for the office and media center, and so forth, to compute a cost for providing new safe facilities for students at a site like Willard. It probably would not be practical to build those kind of buildings in the numbers required to serve a school that draws from an attendance area where 350 to 400 students would be. All of these options or any combination would be possible. You have to realize that these are cost estimates based on assumptions of square footage and also the basic cos-t-of renovating that the architects and engineers have .taicen from like work done in other facilities. As with most things there ยงre advantages and disadvantages and I was asked to outline what some of thds&'are. Again, I don't suggest that these are in any way exhausted. There may be others that you may think of. ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES OF DEMOLISHING EUGENE FIELD AND WILLARD SCHOOLS AND CONSTRUCTING NEW BUILDING'S-tLN. THE EXISTING SITES:

Multi-story building would conserve space, but not be as accessible. Elevators would be required and costs would be higher.
8)
Playground space at Eugene Field would be inadequate unless school kept small.
9)
Insufficient money available to build two new schools if Eugene Field is constructed with enough space to serve 350-400 children.
Dr. Payzant added that he had included in the packet of materials for the Board an update on^the balance in the Bond Fund, which would be the money available for use for renovation, new construction, or some combination; that the current balance in the Bond Fund, was $4,850,000. He stated that he had tried to give the Board an overview of varidtis options that the staff looked at in response to direction given at the last meeting. h"
Mrs. Hill then called on those persons who had requested to speak,on the subject: 1.
Al Brock
2.
Mary Gregory
3.
Bob Wolfram
4.
William Delzel1
5.
Freda Ameringer
In his remarks, Mr. Brock gave suggestions with regard to renovating Willard School as opposed to building a new school. Ms. Gregroy spoke about eminent domain as related to building a new school near^the McKinley Park area. ' ' Mr. Wolfram's remarks were directed toward.the theory of upgrading the Willard community and maintaining the neighborhood because of its low cost housing, thereby supporting the idea of a school remaining in that area.
Support for closing the two schools, Eugene Field and Willard, and building a new school on the south side of McKinley .Park was presented by Mr. Delzel1.
Ms. Ameringer addressed the importance of keeping a school in the Willard neighborhood and the role it would serve in building up the.community. Mr. Long commented regarding it having been mentioned several times in reports and discussions, the fact of saving money; that there were all kinds of ways to save money but he did not think they should let the children in Willard and Eugene Field Schools save the district anymore money. He alluded to how these students had been going to second rate classrooms under substandard conditions and that he would like to- see the Board do something about it. Referring to the balance of $4,850,000 in the Bond Fund Account, Mr. Long further stated that he thought the best way to alleviate the situation would be to build two new buildings to accommodate these students; that many of the kids there live bleak and disadvantaged lives and the only beautiful, comfortable thing they know is school, and that he was making a plea for the Board to go ahead and do what was best for the students, furnish them with a decent school in both communities and leave them where they are. Mrs. Brody spoke to how ten months before it seemed easy at the time to build a wonderful new school for these students who were in absolutely unsafe buildings; that she agreed with Mr. Long that as aboard members they were in the business of educating children and sometimes to educate those children you had to work on their self esteem and how they view the world and show them another side of life that iÂťs, positive, good, progressive, and safe; that she had always felt that the best thing they could do for any child was to have them in as modern a building as they could put them, and to make them proud of the school they attend. She stated that she would urge the Board to

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
move on with it, whether it meant building one school or two new ones. Mrs. Brody <also referred to the temporary roof that had been placed on the Willard building and what could possibly happen if there was a bad winter during the current school year; her concern about if they built two buildings, what they would do with the children in the meantime; also, that she would not be in favor of building two small buildings because it was believed that the future was coming back into the city. She also commented regarding the inner city schools already being crowded and, again, her concern as to where they would place the children while the buildings were being built, if they chose to do it that way; however, she was willing to compromise if they could come to some agreement and get on with the project.
Reference was then made by Mr. Long to ways and means by which the children could be housed while a new building was being built, which included busing them to another building. Mrs. Darrell statedithat she wanted to commend the staff for the information that had been, provided to the Board, which she felt would enable them to move faster on the project. She referred to the difference in cost of building a new school as opposed to renovating or totally redesigning the building; that she was not sure anyone knew for sure the direction in which Oklahoma City was going; and that she was comfortable with either building two new shools or completely redesigning and renovating the two schools; that she was not sure that if they built one large school they would ever get it invi the right place. She also mentioned the necessity of leaving a balance in the Bond Fund Account and although they were extremely concerned about Eugene Field and Wiltpird, there would have to be money left in the Bond Fund for other things in the district. Mrs. Hermes stated that she was very much in favor of the large new school concept until after she listened to the Parks Department debate the issue; that they basically were not in favor of putting a school anywhere on the McKinley Park site; that it was obvious that department did not want to work with the Board on the issue; and'with the City Council also having to be involved on all major decisions, there was nothing to make her feel secure that the children's benefit would always be considered first; so in light of that she thought they needed to examine two separate sites, where the two schools were located, and decide how much money they could spend and where it could best be spent.
Mr. Hibbitts commented that he was in agreement with other members of the Board, and after seeing McKinley Park he would not want his child close to the park, as opposed to someone speaking to the Board and saying that they did not want the school children to be around the park because it would have a bad effect on it. Comments by Mrs. Donwerth were that she, too, wanted to commend the staff for all of the information that they had received and that in listening to the disqjjssion it seemed that whatever they decided to do, renovate or build a new building',"' they would still have to make some kind of arrangements for the children to be sent to another school. ' â– - -___ ______ There was a brief discussion between Mrs. Hermes and Mrs. Hill with respect to Willard holding Eugene field students while a new building was being put on the Eugene Field site but Eugene Field not'bqing large enough to hold the students from both schools while Willard was being built-.
Mrs. Hill then referred to the drawingsthat-had been given to them showing the concept of four buildings and a multi-purpose bufTdTn^' as opposed to one large building on a site and if for some reason there was a^decy^e’ in enrollment the buildings could be converted to office duplexes. Commenting with respect to the cost estimate for a major addition and renovation of the Willard School building, Mrs. Hermes inquired as to how many students it would then accommodate.
Dr. Payzant responded that the option was estimated on the assumption that it would be the same as listed in the Locke-Wright-Foster study under "Renovation Basic Systems;' that it wauld not be the total renovation of the option where the interior of the building would be redone; that the addition could be as small or as large as they wanted to make it, depending upon their long-term projection for what they would want to happen to that facility. Discussion continued as to the concern that was raised about consideration for future growth in the inner city, what should be considered with regard to capacity with respect to special programs which would need additional space as opposed to just regular classroom space.
After Mrs. Brody asked for some discussion on the benefits or disadvantages of educating elementary children in three-story buildings, Dr. Payzant commented that it was not the matter of a three-story building versus one story, but it was a matter of
478
MINUTES OF MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 7, 1982 - CONT'D
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT how they could figure the space on each floor and with an old building like Eugene Fie<ld, that of making the basement, for instance, light, airy and functional; also, that with young children, teachers would generally say that they would prefer not to have stairs.
Mrs. Brody inquired further about students and teachers using the special services in a school if, for instance, they were located on the third floor, to which Dr. Betty Williams, Director of Elementary Education, replied that they do sometimes see a difference as far as the mobility among the classrooms as students travel to and from the special services; that you do find an extreme amount of confusion in three-story buildings; that with a one-story building with doors that open to the outside, there is access to and from the classroom and not in the hall; that the Eugene Field staff had often commented about the traffic in the hall,,and when students are being moved, they do try to keep it at a minimum; however, in an older building it does detract from what is going on in the classroom. Additional comments were made by Mr. Long about the Eugene Field School and the rest rooms being located in the basement and the disadvantages of a three-story school building for students and teachers; also, the need to not necessarily try to save money with regard to those students in the two schools. Mrs..Darrel 1, again, expressed a concern about not so much the matter of saving money but the need to leave a certain amount in the Bond Fund. She also asked about the consjderation of relocating students during construction.
Dr. Payfeant responded that they could relocate the students in one or two facilities that could accommodate virtually all of the Willard student body but probably not all of the Eugene Field student body in one location. He referred to the additional transportation cost during the period of the construction for transporting student from the Willard and Eugene Field neighborhoods to other facilities.
There was discussion about the projected period of construction, depending on which approach was taken among the six options; that if they used the small buildings option, duplexes for example, particularly at Willard where there was more land, and an area could possibly be cordoned off and made inaccessible to children during the school day; the fact that the students that were currently being bused to those two locations being bused closer to home; merit<in keeping old buildings, and other. A motion was then made by Mrs. Donwerth and seconded by Mrs. Brody - "I move that we as a board vote to build two new school buildings on the Willard and Eugene Field sites." After inquiry by Mrs. Hermes as to the size of buildings that were being considered in the motion, Mrs. Donwerth replied that she was talking about the two smaller buildings, a 300-student building for the Willard site and a 350-student building for the Eugene Field site; two new schools. Discussion continued about the concept of small self-contained classroom units at Willard with a cost of $60,000 per unit; the projected enrollment for the two schools as compared to'the current enrollment; the classroom units being referred to as the Hugh Long concept; taking the old building and making some kind of museum out of it; the buildings being of permanent'construction; aind other. Mr. Wolfram was asked to comment on the plan of severalunits being built as school facilities on the Willard site; also, Ms. Josie Scarberry,, a resident of the neighborhood. Mr. Wolfram stated that he thought that type of construction would give usable spaces that were safe and sanitary and would meet all of the local codes at less cost, but he thought possibly the people in the area would identify more with the building that was presently located on the site.
Ms. Scarberry stated that persons in the neighborhood did have a lot of sentiment for the present school building but she thought the neighborhood would go along with whatever was most feasible for Willard School and what would be best for the Board and the residents in the area.
Orf roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, no; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes; MP. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried.
Mrs. Hermes, before voting, stated that she liked old- buildings and would have to vote no.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT R. #283 Approval Re Type of Facility for Willard School
Mrs. Hermes stated that since they were not going to renovate Willard School, she * would move that the Board go along with the concept of classroom units that could possibly be converted into housing, the Hugh Long plan as opposed to one school building.
The motion was seconded by Mrs. Donwerth.
Mr. Long expressed a concern mentioned the possibility of various groups, or maybe the building. The same interest
that the old Willard building be saved and, again, it being used as a museum or a meeting place for staff could come up with some way to make use of that was expressed by Mrs. Hermes.
Mrs. Hill commented that staff had heard the conversation and could give consideration tc the building as had been expressed by board members. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried. R. #284 Approval Re Eugene Field School Building
A motion was then made by Mrs. Hermes and seconded by Mrs. Brody - "I move that we build a building on the Eugene Field site which will house as many children as is possible on that site."
Mr^tong stated that he would like some sort of style of architecture in the front or on the side of the Eugene Field building that was common in Oklahoma City when the Eugehe Field building was built. On roll call, the votes- were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes;; Mr. -Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried.
R., #285 Approval of AFT Proposal on Public Relations Program
It,was moved by Mrs. Brody and seconded by Mrs. Hermes to accept the AFT proposal to release three teachers for the 1982-83 school year at the Union's expense to work on a public relations program to improve the image of public education in Oklahoma City. Mr. Hibbits stated that he had some concerns expressed to him that it should be understood that those teachers who were released for public relations work do exactly that and not get into the areas of recruiting for AFT or whatever organization they were representing; that he thought it should be clear as to the guidelines they were to be working under and it be clear that they follow those guidelines.
After Mrs. Darrell inquired about when the teachers were released, if they-'Were then on the Union's payroll, Dr. Payzant responded that they would be on the�district's payroll- andthe AFT reimburses the district for the full cost of salary and fringe benefits. Mrs. Darrell also asked'foT’seme-T-nformati on on the kind of program that was conducted the past year. Mr. Renfro replied, referring to the goals as stipulated in the proposal; that they had not changed and they wanted to enhance the opportunities to be able to carry on with the program as before; tha-t^they would not be recruiting but there would be times when in talking with teachers'about thg, positive image of the school system, the organization would probably benefit but it was-not a matter of them going out to recruit. He referred to the slide presentationjhat was prepared by AFT and the district on the positive aspects of the system which had been shown to various organizations in Oklahoma City as well as school faculties, also in Washington, D.C. and New York. Mr. Renfro replied to Mrs. Darrell's concern which she stated had been raised in her area about a part of the film showing famous blacks who had graduated from a high school in the city and it not giving a broader prospectus, stating that some revisions had been made in that respect. He gave further explanation on how the film was booked for showing.and other plans proposed for the program.
Mrs. Hermes expressed a desire that a letter be sent out to every PTA, PTO, or any kind of parent group or organization in every school in the system to apprise them of the show and to encourage them to show it to their patrons. Mr. Renfro stated tfrat their goal was to get the film shown in every school in the district, and one person would be responsible for scheduling all other outside organizations for the showing.
A concern was expressed by Mrs. Hill that replacements for those teachers whoswould be released be available at that time, stating that she would not want a substitute placed in the classroom that was not fully qualified, to which Dr. Payzant replied that they would give it their best effort.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
Dr. Payzant reported: 1.
Remarks Superintendent
Enrollment I would like to give you a preliminary report on enrollment for the 1982-83 school year, recognizing that figures are not firm at this early date at the conclusion of the fifth school day of the year. We are only districtwide a thousand students off our projections on the fifth day of school. We normally peak in October so I feel quite sure we are going to make and exceed projections. It is pretty even across the grade level, remembering too that there are some students who are still not in because of immunization problems.
At the elementary K-4 level we are down 439 students from projection. Fifth year centers were down 120 students; the middle schools 197; and at the high schools about 193. That doesn't add up to a thousand but the figures in the special centers are really soft early in the year until students are assigned to those special programs. But we are running at or ahead of where we normally would be on the fifth day of school, and unless there is some strange pattern out there that causes us to deviate from previous years, we are going to be pretty close to or above projections at all levels. (Mrs; Hill called for a five-minute break.)
2.
Assessment of Middle School Philosophy
At the request of Dr. Payzant, Dr. George Kimball, Research Associate, gave a brief overview of the study conducted on the Middle School Philosophy as follows: f.
In 1977 the Middle School Philosophy and characteristics were implemented by the Board. At that time a study was done of staff, students and parents to determine after a year what was their personal perceptions of the philosophy itself and the perceived degree of implementation in their site. The purpose of this study, in effect, is a longitudinal follow-up now five years later to try to determine the same sorts of events. There were two surveys that were submitted and received back from the staff, the principals, the counselors and faculty at all middle schools. There was also a survey of the middle school students at each grade and a randomly selected sample of the parents of middle school students. The executive summary and the full document contain a great wealth of information about the perceptions of these individuals in the middle school. (Copy on file in office of the Clerk.) It does not describe all that is there. I tried to attend to those elements in perception that have changed over five years.
Basically, it attends to the fact that the Middle School Philosophy is a unique setting. It is not the old’junior high philosophy or a miniature version of a high school. It has to do with it being -student centered and personalized learning, the children learning some responsibility for their own actions. There are statements, of curriculum content and guidance programs, etc. On one survey it involved the staff responding to the specific characteristics. Do they approve of them personally and also:'-a second response of each one of what is their perceived degree of implementation in the school. The vast majority of your middle school staff endorses each'characteristic very highly.
As far as plerceived degree and implementatfdh in theziast five years, every one of the characteristics but one has been viewed as "increased implementation in the middle school sites. They are all moving in what would be considered a positive direction, with'the exception of one which had to do with curriculum content. To speculate on why that one is perceived as moving down, wouTd probably involve one of the statements being that ft should involve language arts, fine arts, math, science, etc.
,
The other form of the survey attended to various specific questions about all ofthe characteristics. There are a large items to look at. There are a lot of positive movements'in the direction that you would like to see, given that you accept this philosophy yourself in that it is moving in that direction. There are a very few negatives. It is basically in the same direction on the student survey. They teachers as being more friendly and open, their opinions are asked often, and they learn more things they can use after high school. to have a higher perception of the middle schoolthan the students
view the for more They seemed did in 1977.
The parents, again, are in that direction. They feel basically the same as the parents of 1977. There is about the same number of parents that say that there are issues that they would like to discuss with people at the sites; however, a
J

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT *
great deal more of them that actually did contact the sites and report that they have a much more favorable opinion on the way things are resolved than the parents did in 1977. I think that generally the direction of movement is as you would hope that it would be. They seem to be saying that we agree with the philosophy of the middle school and based upon a very high degree of acceptance, I suppose the only thing that could come about as a recommendation is the fact that the emphasis should be placed on higher implementation.
Dr. Payzant added that the exciting thing about the study was the attitudes were so positive and they held consistent across the different responding groups - teachers, parents, and students, and a positive is so important as a prerequisite for getting anything done; that he thought there was also a candid acknowledgement that they still have a ways to go with implementation, but with the first step, that of attitude being positive in place, it was going to be much easier to move faster with implementation in the next year or two and see greater gains in that area than have occurred in the last five years. Noting that the middle school philosophy came out of the Human Relations Committee in 1977, Mrs. Brody expressed a concern that in 1977 forty-four counselors responded that they were assigned tasks other than guidance and it had decreased by eighteen, and to her that was a large number; also, having sufficient time available for counseling for students, it seldom went up five points from 1977 to 1982; that in the student surveys said, I can get the counselor's help when I need it, went down four points from 197/; She added that counselors were saying that they are indeed spending less time on tasks other than guidance even though it was still a large amount, but somehow the students-were not receiving that.
Dr. Gambill and Mrs. Brody continued to discuss the issue with regard to the survey and the comparisons included.
Mrs. Hill commented that the philosophy was started five years before; it was a program they had stayed with and they were receiving positive responses which was encouraging, for the district. As a closing comment, Dr. Payzant stated that, he hoped the Board was recognizing the tremendous quality in the studies that were coming out of Planning, Research and Evaluation; that Dr. Kimball was not alone in doing it but he was one of the people in that department that had done some excellent work in the past year; that the quality of his work was outstanding. PERSONNEL REPORT
As a part of the Personnel Report, Dr. Payzant read the following letter of resignation which was addressed to Mrs. Betty Hill, President, Board of Education and a copy of which was sent to each member of the Board.:
Letter of Resignation Dr. Payzant
I am submitting my resignation as Superintendent of Oklahoma City Public Schools effective at the end of the day, Wednesday, December 8, 1982. The time since January 1979 has been filled withmany challenging experiences. I take with me many fond-memories of the people with whom I have worked and the issues we have tackled together. Ihave never had a second thought about the wisdom of my decision t'O~ accept the Board1 s offer to serve as Superintendent here. I leave Oklahoma City with respect for members of the Board, the staff and many in the community who have done so much to make my stay here professionally exciting and personally satisfying.

Mrs. Hermes inquired about item #22, expressing a concern regarding the number pf requests for quotations ma'iled and only one returned, and it being such a large expenditure.
Dr. Payzant explained that with their IBM'computer the terminals are expected to be compatible with that computer and data processing system, which was the primary reason they would only get-an IBM return; that it was not to say that other terminals could not be made compatible with an IBM computer or system but it was common practice to use the components on the major ^ata.,. processing system ffom the same manufacturer. Mr. Dean, Purchasing Assistant, added that the'requests were mailed to various companies around the city and out of the city.,bPt thTre~Was' no real response because of the comments as had been indicated by Dr. Payzant;../feMt usually other vendors will shy away from trying to interface with systems by other companies.
Upon inquiry: by Mrs. Darrell about item #23, Dr. Payzant responded that procedures were not followed that are normally followed with respect to bidding and presently he was working on two other possibilities that would fall in the same category that were ordered at the same time; that he could assure the Board that the people involved were well aware of the appropriate procedures and there would hopefully be no further skirting of those procedures down the line. The<.same concern about only one bid being returned was expressed by Mrs. Hill with regard to item #15, stating that even though it was a small item, she still hated to see only one returned. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Brody,yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes.

1.
Dwain.. Bearden
2.
Art Hill
Mr. Bearden spoke about'-item 2, proposed agreements with appraisers, stating that his concern was the nature of the properties to be involved, the type of conversions that could be made of the properties, which were things that he thought should be addressed by the appraisers; that he had not seen the criteria^for the appraisals nor the qualifications for the appraisers, which were his basic questions to the Board.

GENERAL BUSINESS R. #290 Approval of General Business cont'd
Mr. Shepard responded that basically what they would be asking the appraisers to ^ive them would be what they considered the highest and best use of the property involved, which would involve reviewing the property and reviewing property similar to that in the area as well as property that was similar in other parts of the community that had sold; what were some of the possible alternatives and what some of the potentia uses for the property might be, looking at things like zoning, potential problems with zoning, all of those types of things to be able to determine what the potential sales value may be. He added that what they would be looking for at present was’a guide to find out what the property was worth so it would give them some type of a figure that could be used as a standard or basis for reviewing bids that may be received at a later time. Mr. Bearden commented further regarding the recommendation for payment to the appraisers as ’being low when consideration was given to the fact that there were four properties to be appraised and the things that would have to be considered. Mr. Hill's remarks were directed to item 3, stating that as a spokesman fori the Native American Center they were requesting again to lease the Orchard Park Elementary School for a year, with future plans to work with the Board on purchasing the property.
After Mrs. Hill asked about the 30-day cancellation stipulation in the Orchard Park agreement, Mr. Shepard stated that all of the lease agreements that the district had were on a 30-day cancellation basis, but normally what they would attempt to do unless there would be some reason why the Native American Center or the school district would choose to do otherwise, would be to extend the rental agreement through the end of the fiscal period, but they still had the 30-day cancellation option.
With respect to item 6, Mrs. Hermes stated that she wanted to remind the Attorney to iricludethe reversionary clause that if the land is used or a building put on the site for a private school, the property would revert back to the district. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes’; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried. BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION

Mr. Hibbitss commented that with regard to the gym^floor at Jackson Middle School, he would like for those responsible to see that the work was done as quickly as possible; that since the access to the gymnasium at Jackson was through the gymnasium and there were no other doors to the dressing rooms and with the physical education involved and approaching cold weather, it would need to be taken care of as quickly as possible.

COMMITTEE REPORTS - BOARD MEMBERS' COMMENTS
Mrs. Hermes commented that she had been visiting schools, Hawthorne, Eugene Field, Gatewood, and Classen; that she wanted to report to the Board that Hawthorne and Eugene Field enrollments were very high again, which would reflect perhaps on the size of building that would be built for Eugene Field; that Edgemere's enrollment was over 400 again. She added that the only school whose enrollment was down was Gatewood.
Comments Mrs. Hermes
Reference'was made by Mrs.- Brody to a Resolution which she wanted to be included under New Business; that a patron had called with a concern about an ordinance that was being amended before the Planning Commission on September 23; that she had talked with Dr. Payzant who with staff obtained the amended ordinance; that basically what would concern the Oklahoma City schools, “it would reduce the amount of footage between a drinking establishment and schools; that it was presently 600 feet and the proposal before the Planning Commission would reduce it to 300 feet. She further stated that she agreed with the patron that^alled her; that it was .a little bit too close to have around in the school system. Following her comments, Mrs. Brody read the Resolution which was considered later under New BuSfness.
Comments Mrs. Brody
Mrs. Hill stated that she had received a 1 etter from jF-mfcidle school teacher concerning the workshops in Algebra; that she thought there should tie arrangements to let the teachers out so they could attend the workshops on time or else perhaps plan a special session for the middle school teachers since they do not get out of school until 3:40. She also announced that on September 27 and 28, Dr. Webb, Superintendent Search Consultant, would be back in town to meet with the different groups that were set out by the Board to get their input on criteria for selection of a Superintendent; that on September 29 at 12:00 noon there would be a special meeting of the Board at which time it would set the criteria that would be used in the Superintendent selection.

LEGAL REPORT
Attorney's . Mr. Bleakley reported: Report____________ * 1. Star School Litigation In the Star School litigation, you will recall that the insurance company for the district filed an interpleader with District Court in which they tendered the $300,000 coverage arid asked the court to dismiss the District from all litigation and to distribute that money. The attorneys for the plaintiffs have now requested that a deposition be taken of our business manager to determine under sworn oath that there is no insurance policy of the district that relates to coverage for the Star incident,and it appears that upon that deposition being taken that the plaintiffs are likely to agree to the interpleader and permit the distribution of the $300,000 and the dismissal of the school district.
2.
Murphy vs. ISP 89 In the lawsuit styled Murphy vs. ISD 89 which was a taxpayers' action that was brought sometime ago, after the District's demur to that petition was sustained in a hearing on a Motion to Dismiss the plaintiffs agreed to dismiss their action and that dismissal occurred at that evening. It is possible that the action could be refiled at a later date.
3.
School Land Commission Case ^ln the School Land Commission case there will be an evidentiary hearing on Thursday relating to the proposed leasing plan that has been proposed by the School Land Commission and Judge Cannon will be hearing any evidence that.anyone has,'to offer on that matter. We will have the plan reviewed and will be appearing at that hearing to monitor the hearing.
4.
Oklahoma Industrial Authority vs. Barnes In the lawsuit styled Oklahoma Industrial Authority vs. Barnes, we had a hearing on that last week and the Oklahoma Industrial Authority was ordered to collect from General Motors the sum half-million dollars that was in an escrow account and tender that to the court for deposit by the County Treasurer. Once that has occurred then we will file a motion for distribution of the approximately one and a quarter million dollars to the school districts in the county who are entitled to the proceeds.
5.
Hodges vs. Jones Lawsuit
The Hodges vs. Jones lawsuit is some four years old and relates to the county tag agencies. Under the terms of the journal entry in that case, the current tag agent, Casey Jones, was to be able to use the building at approximately 13th and Robinson for a period of five years, at which time the building would be sold and the proceeds distributed to. the"sdraol-4+s-tricts. That fifth anniversary will occur in February. Mr. Jones has proposed the purchase of the building by him and has offered..to have the building appraised. I will be meeting with all of the county superintendents at their monthly meeting early in October and will discuss, then, the procedures to"be followed for entertaining that proposal for Mr. Jones. It is likely that they will 4j(ant to conduct an independent appraisal on behalf of the school districts and comparethose with Mr. Jones to find out if a negotiated price that is equivalent to fair market value Gould be achieved.
Mrs. Brody inquired regarding a discussion sometime before about Living Word Academy and if any money had been expended to them and whether it was to be given back to the Oklahoma Industrial Authority, after which Mr. Bleakley stated that he had talked to the attorneys for 0IA; that they had no information on that; that he had been given the name of an administrator who he was trying to track down who was involved in the negotiations on that, and he should have an answer on it by the next meeting.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT It was moved by Mrs. Brody and seconded by Mr. Hibbitts for approval of the following Statement of Appreciation:
R. #302 Approval of Statement of Appreciation Support Personnel
STATEMENT OF APPRECIATION
The Board of Education of Oklahoma City Public School District 1-89 recognizes that October is School Support Personnel Month in Oklahoma and has been so proclaimed by the Governor.
The Board acknowledges the vital in the operation of our schools.
role that support personnel
play
Support personnel are the bus drivers who deliver the students to school, the cafeteria workers who prepare well-balanced, nutritious meals, the secretaries who look after the dozens of daily details to keep things running smoothly, the custodial and maintenance personnel who keep the buildings safe and comfortable, the teacher aides, media aides, and the many other specialized personnel who make the school system work. Every day our support personnel perform their many essential duties that enable the district to fulfill its mission of providing educational programs for the young people of our community.
The Board thanks the support personnel of Oklahoma City Public Schxwols for their dedication and commitment as they provide quality service for our children.
On roll-call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried.
Mrs. Hill suggested that the Statement of Appreciation be included in the Board Highlights. Remarks Superintendent
Dr. Payzant reported: 1.
Enrollment
The enrollment continues to grow in the district and the counts that the directors have received from the principals in the schools indicate that we have actually reached or slightly surpassed our projections at every level. The computer count i$ always a bit behind the telephone count that the directors get from the principals and we always spend some time during the middle of September^trying to reconcile the two counts before we give the official enrollment report. I am quite confident we will be witli the official report at or above projections, and I have already begun to allocate ad'ditionaj teaching positions to the directors upon request where there are crowded classes and additional teaching positions are warranted. You will recall that in the budget we put thirty-three (33) teaching positions in a contingency account for just that purpose, and it looks as though we will be abl^to handle the enrollment increases with those positions and save a few for anticipateckneed for additional special education classes; that need becoming apparent later .in the year.
•’ i
2.
Objectives on Cleanliness of School Facilities^
I.have worked with Dr.' Smith and the directors on some objectives to meet the Board goal which1 was adopted early this summer on cleanliness of school facilities, and the objectives which I have put before you this evening are of two kinds, several dealing specifically with the inspection of the buildings and rating them for cleanliness and another group of objectives which the principals and directors will be working on that will deal more with working with students and staff to instill pride in our schools and get cooperation from students and staff to keep the buildings clean so that it will be easier for the custodial personnel to handle their part of the overall responsibility. (Copy on file in office of the Clerk.)*
3.
Possible Addition of Space at Bodine School
I have had inquiries about possible addition of space at Bodine School, and although there is some preliminary information that I have made available to you concerning the enclosure of the patio space at Bodine for additional auxiliary space for offices and/or media center, there is another alternative which would be the construction of a wing to the school which was part of the original master plan of that building.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 4.
Request for Cost Information on Change Order for Air Conditioning at Star
Remarks Superintendent cont1d
* I had a request for cost information on the change order for air conditioning the cafeteria at Star and the rule is that a change order may be approved for an amount up to fifteen percent of the cost of the project up to the first million dollars. The estimate for air conditioning the Star cafeteria would be $21,000 and that would include the purchase of the actual air conditioning units as well as the insulation of the additional electrical services which would be required to drive those units. The total amount, $21,000, would be less than fifteen percent of the original dollar estimate on the construction project which I believe is somewhere in the neighborhood of $167,000. So if you did decide to do that, you could handle it via a change order. Timing is important on that one because if the Board does decide to go ahead with such a change order, it should be done very soon before the construction is any further along which would make more difficult the change order being completed with ease.
PERSONNEL REPORT
A motion was made by Mrs. Brody and seconded by Mrs. Donwerth that the following persons be employed as of the effective date specified, and that contracts or assignment notifications with the appropriate persons herein listed be approved as executed $n the name of the district by the Superintendent or person by him designated; also, that other personnel recommendations and information listed be approved. > c «

With regard to item 4, Mr. Hibbitts asked if the amounts listed for purchase of the band uniforms were of a certain percentage and if it was done by all high schools; to which Dr. Payzant responded that the Board had a long standing practice to share the cost with the district picking up the greater percentage and the local school raising the balance.

R. #305 Approval of Purchasing cont'd
Dr. Payzant, with an explanation of item 3, stated that in that particular instance the school was allocating a portion of their General Fund allocated dollars that they chose to put into equipment purchase rather than something else; that the district's share was actually from the school's budget allotment that was based on a per pupil amount that the school could divide among three or four accounts in the General Fund budget.
After Mrs. Hermes asked if there was ever an instance where General Fund money was used to make up the difference and it come out of some other fund not earmarked for a school, Dr. Payzant explained that there would be one othfer possibility, at least; that each of three directors has a budgeted amount in the General Fund budget out of their responsibility center to help schools with special kinds of projects.
Inquiry was also made by Mrs. Hermes regarding item 9, the roof moisture gauge, as to if the device was recommended. Dr. Wallace Smith replied that the instrument had been used in many school systems; that it did not locate the leak in the roof per se but it is used to detect where the majority of the water is in the roof. On roll eall, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr^Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried.

GENERAL BUSINESS L #306 Approval of General Business :ont'd
Commenting on the items for consideration, Dr. Payzant stated that with respect to the ^agreement for the administrative intern program in Community Education, it would be funded from the State Department of Education Community Education Grant and the specific line item in that grant would be temporary help where there were ample funds to cover the $4,000; that the grantor was interested in having it handled that way through the temporary help portion of the account and the agreement would be amended to specify that. With regard to the leasing of swimming facilities, Mr. Hibbits inquired about the swimming pool at Capitol Hill, as to why it could not be used. Dr. Payzant responded that sometime ago the Board asked that they take a look at all of the swimming pools in the school district and in a partial response to a prod from the City/County Health Department, it was necessary to do a detailed estimate of what it would take to bring the pools up to standard to meet the City/County Health Code and inspections; that when they went through the process of doing that and it was an astronomical figure, well over $100,000 that would have been required to bring all of the pools up to standard; the newest pool in the district, Douglass High School, required only $1.0,000 or $12,000 to bring it up to standard, and the decision was made at that time to go ahead and complete the work at Douglass since it was a newer pool, and not do it at the other five or six pools in the city because of exorbitant cost.
It was noted by Mrs. Hill and Dr. Payzant the fact that Dr. Harold Crain, former principal at Capitol Hill Middle School, had coordinated work with teachers, etc., and had tfre swimming pool operating at that school and was presently interested in seeing that^the Taft Middle School pool be put into operation. Reference was made to the vol&hteer work by teachers and others reducing cost of labor in the process at Capitol Hill Middle. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried.

Mrs. Hermes inquired about Ms. Ponder's concern with rgsfJ'&ct to lb under School Operations, to which Dr. Payzant responded that it was his understanding that Ms. Ponder was saying that she and the UTP were in favor of establishing regulations with respect to class s.ize that would recognize that the degree of difficulty varied in working with students with different kinds of needs, so that if a class had a number of children who were slow learners or gifted learners or had learning disabilities or other kinds of special needs, those students would be weighted and the net results, if you set a class size average at 30, 28 or 26 would be fewer children where in composite those children had a variety of special needs. He added that he did not disagree with it philosophically that it may be more difficult to work with children of a' special need but he thought that the Board ought to be establishing policy with respect to clas.s size and not the Legislature, which was why the goal as proposed to the Board would leave that control with respect to the Oklahoma City Schools to the Board as. a policy matter rather than having the state make further regulations on class size that they would have no choice but to implement and could have substantial cost implications. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried. i

Mr. ^Long commented regarding his having visited Star Elementary School the past week and that he was overwhelmed with the positive, cheerful atmosphere that he found in the building among the students, teachers, principal, and other workers. He added that while he was at the school he was approached by the principal with the idea that while the cafeteria was under construction, it would be a good time to consider air conditioning that room because the style of architecture had done away with very many window openings and he was only afraid that when it was completed, that it would certainly lack something in not being air conditioned for the comfort of the children and the people in the community who could also use the room when it was not being used as a cafeteria. He also stated that the principal had indicated that the work was almost completed and haste was of the essence. Requesting that it be considered as an emergency, a motion was then made by Mr. Long and seconded by Mrs. Donwerth - I move that we vote this evening on going ahead with a change order to make it possible for the contractor to go ahead and install the air conditioning in the cafeteria at Star Elementary School.

Dr. Payzant commented that when the budget was formulated the best information that they had on the assessed valuation of property on which the five mills was computed was the amount of $702 million; that the official certification of assessed valuation for the ad valorem tax had increased to $758 million which would enable them to increase the Building Levy budget by the amount as listed.

Dr. Harold Webb, Superintendent Search Consultant, gave a .report on his meetings with Advisory Groups held on Monday and Tuesday, September,/2-7' and 28, 1982, by stating: I had.recommended to the. Board that as a part of our search procedure, that we meet with various professional and community groups to ask for their input, their suggestions, and their recommendations as to the qualifications and concerns that should be taken into account by the Board of Education as it moves toward making its decisions, about that list of requirements and qualifications that should be sought as we look at the applicants for the position of Superintendent of Schools. There was arranged over the past two days eight different groups for me to meet with and I would say that I found them to be very helpful. The people in the groups came prepared and in general gave what I found to be constructive and helpful suggestions. As you might expect, the recommendations and the expression of concerns that they shared with me were tempered and colored somewhat by the point of view with which they came to the meeting.
You might find it interesting that I asked at the outset, just as a general way of getting the group started and guiding them, that they share with me their views of some of the strengths of the school system as they saw them, some of the areas of concern where things might need improvement. I asked those two questions because the superintendent does really make a difference in shaping the

direction and success of a school system. I asked them to share with me what role they would like the superintendent to play, what type of person should he or she be, what kind of attributes should he or she possess, what sort of personality he should have, and in general how would they like to see that person work with the various constituencies in the school district; how should he or she relate with school professional staff, to parents, to parent groups, to non-parents, to the business community, minority groups, the federal and state level groups, and any other. I thought the response was very helpful. I finished those meetings with each of the eight groups late yesterday afternoon and I would like to present to you now what I perceive to be a summary of what I heard and what I have digested from it. Obviously, the person selected must hold or .qualify for an Administrator's certificate that is issued by the State of Oklahoma. And there was also strong sentiment in most of the groups that I talked to when the issue was raised that preference should probably be given to those candidates holding a Doctorate in appropriate fields from a recognized institution of higher learning. It was also pointed out that the Board had directed a nationwide search and with several of the groups there was mentioned that at the same time they wanted high standards and those standards equally applied to all applicants; that other things being equal that particular favorable attention be given to Oklahoma applicants.
eT have about nine or ten major points that I would like to emphasize and most *of them incorporate a very broad list of ideas. One is that they would like *’to see persons with demonstrated evidence of having performed progressively responsible assignments in school systems of comparable size and complexity to that of the Oklahoma City Public Schools. They are very firm in that they felt a need to identify persons who could provide us with demonstrated ability and successful experience in carrying out effective public relations program to enhance the public's understanding and support of the public schools, specifically the Oklahoma City Public Schools. They were very clear in asking for a person who has a demonstrated record of a commitment to educational excellence. They would like to have someone who has a record of success in having directed successful campaigns for raising revenue for the schools and, of course, in view of the recent experiences, particular attention was mentioned about successful experience in carrying out bond issues for school plant improvement. There was considerable mention made of the desirability of finding a person who has the ability to work effectively and, hopefully, successfully with the state legislature, the federal government, as well as local government officials in all of the many things that local government and the local public schools must deal with and work on together. Particularly in the parent groups and teacher groups was mentioned the ability to work effectively and creatively with employee negotiations and with collective bargaining, and was also a concern of the support group as well. They want someone who has experience and ability to deal effectively with a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic public school sys-tenuas well as someone who has an enlightened commitment and dedication to urban education. They also wanted us to look for someone who has a demonstrated broad understanding of the problems of society and th-e problems which confront public education as well as a sensitivity to contemporary public concerns related to education. In a general kind of statement, they would want^.omeone who would be":expected to provide effective leadership skills and has a :ttemonstrated ability which would offer a hope of that person having the ability to offer > sense of direction to the school district by recommending the appropriate goaTs'^ai]jI policies to the Board of Education as well as to establish some r'afher''--l9rard-hitting methods of evaluating those goals and seeing to it that they are brought into being. There was particular emphasis given time and time again to the desire and hope that the new superintendent, as has been accustomed for the past several years, would be a person who operates with a system of openness, who has a mature and confident personality, and thus can utilize freely and creatively the input and recommendations of those people who work for the superintendent as well as the input to be provided by parents, teachers, students, and all others.
Mrs. Hill commented that Dr. Webb did meet with patron groups, administrative staff, support personnel, principals, students, teachers, and community organizations. Mrs. Brody inquired*as to if it was clear to the people with whom he had met that the school board itself would be the ultimate body to choose the superintendent?
Dr. Webb responded that he made it very clear when it came up in the discussions that both at the stage of setting the qualifications, persons were being asked for input and recommendations from all concerned and that he and the Board would make hard-nosed use of that-input but the ultimate decision would be that of the.Board's as well as the Board's decision in the final selection of the Superintendent.

The District
The Oklahoma City Public Schools serve about 42,000 students. The enrollment, which declined for several years, has now stabilized, and, in fact, has increased slightly as the 1982-83 school year begins. The district provides educational programs for students in kindergarten through the 12th grade. There are about 100 schools and special centers. The district's boundaries are not the same as those of the city. The 184 square-mile district includes most of Oklahoma City as well as some rural areas. The district is committed to a unitary system and furnished student transportation throughout the district. The district has about 5,000 employees and a general fund budget of $87 million. The annual per-pupil expenditure is slightly over $2,000. The pupi1-teacher ratio is 1:25 in the elementary schools and 1:28 in the secondary schools.
* The district provides a free kindergarten for five-year-olds. Tdre elementary program serves children through the fourth grade. Fifth year centers add an unusual character to the district's organizational pattern. They provide a full academic and extracurricular program with the entire building staff oriented to fifth grade students. There are 11 middle schools for grades six through eight, and the district has nine comprehensive high schools and two alternative high schools for students in graces nine through twelve.
In recent years, the district has reorganized and updated the curriculum and added new programs and services for students. Some examples are new elementary physical education and music classes, a greatly expanded gifted and talented program, and many new advanced placement courses in the high schools. The district has recently implemented a computer-assisted instructional management system for reading and math in the elementary schools, fifth year centers, and middle schools.
The Community
In the heart of the Sunbelt, Oklahoma City is a young and vigorous place. It was established in 1889. In less than 95 years it has grown to a cHy with a population approaching 415,000. The metropolitan area hasza ^population of approximately 862,500. In these times of economic uncertainly, Oklahoma's economy has remained comparatively sound. Its^oil and-gas resources have contributed to this stability, and there^is growing industrial development. Petroleum refineries, a large General Motors assembly plant, and many light manufacturing installations help support the economy of the area. The average cost of a home in Oklahoma City is somewhat less than most other large ci ties. It is a center for livestock and agricultral exchange, the home of the Federal Aviation Agency and the huge Air Logistics Center at nearby Tinker Air Force Base. T-he climate is pleasant. Oklahoma City is one of America's sunniest places. It has close to 3,000 hours of sunshine each year. The average coldest temperature in January is 35 degrees.

Also, on October 14 Judge Cannon is going to have additional hear-ings-on the following issues: (1) for the purpose of hearing argument';'and-accepting evidence on issues in the cause relating to school land loans, including~Tssues related to whether loans negotiated prior to the Supreme Court's ruling and OEA vs. Nigh but not funded should be honored, and if so at what interest rate; (2) whether the School Land Commission should continue to operate a loan program in light of the fact that other authorized investments achieve greater income; (3) whether prior loans negotiated under the unconstitutional statutes are enforcable or whether they are void ab initio; (4) additional issues to be considered or whether prior loans can be recalled and whether they should be recalled; (5) whether prior loans can and should be renegotiated; (6) and what effect, if any, the constitutional prohibition against impairment of contract has upon a possible recall, renegotiation, or voiding of prior loan contracts. So the activity Jn the School Land Commission case is going to continue to be quite active and some major issues that were going to greatly affect the amount of money that the school lands are going to generate for public education are yet to be resolved in Judge Cannon's court.

Dr. PayzantJreferred to the item for consideration, stating that the staff had looked at several alternatives which included-shortening the school day or moving everything up an hour; that if a school day was less than the required number of hours, it could not be counted asa school day, and if there was an automatic dismissal plan, they would have to' go before the legislature each year and ask for some special dispensation to make sure that the district received full state aid; that in moving everything up an hour, it would mean that some'students would be out on the bus stops and streets as early as 6:00 in the morning. .

Dr. Payzant presented Ms. Janie Hall, Test Specialist, to give a report on the 1981-82 California Achievement Test results. Before referring to an executive summary of the California Achievement Test results, a copy of which had been given to each member of the Board, Ms. Hall stated some of the purposes for which the test results are used in the district, such as eligibility for special programs like the Gifted and Talented, Chapter I, and to evaluate the effectiveness of special programs. She stated that the report was designed to tell how the district's population of^students in 1982 scored in comparison with the population of students in 1981 and also with the national norming sample. She also explained that when a test is developed, it is given to a large number of students across the United States and that is considered the representative sample of students, a student population representative of inner city, rural, and so on.
Report 1981-82 CAT Test Results
MINUTES OF MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 1982 - CONT'D
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
Ms. Hall proceeded by explaining the average performance of the students tested <in 1981 and 1982, how the students compared with students on the national sample, some consistency in test scores over the years and some gain at certain grade levels. She referred to the tables included in the report which showed the number of students involved in the testing, the subject area in which they were tested and their rank in percentiles. In summary, Ms. Hall stated that she thought they could say from the 1982 testing results that they could see some consistency in the early grades some need for work; in the upper grades so far as average performance, they could definitely see a higher percentage of students in the district scoring at or above the national average in Mathematics and Language and were holding their own in Reading and there was a high percentage of students showing a gain from year to year.
(Copy of report on the 1981-82 California Achievement Test Results on file in office of the Clerk.) Commenting on the report, Dr. Payzant stated that he felt very positive about the progress that the results of grades K through 5, the fifth year centers, had shown, and less positive about what was shown at the secondary level, the middle and high schools; that he was very pleased with the results showing that a high percentage of students were at or above the national average, the fiftieth percentile. He also referred to the fact that the tests were designed so that half of the students would score’’-above and half of the students would score below that fiftieth percentile, and if everybody would reach their ideal goal in the country of having everybody above the^fiftieth percentile, they would immediately renorm the test. He stated, however, that the results did show steady progress which to him said that they were doing a better job with the average and above average achieving students and not as well as they continue to want to do with the lower achieving students, because the lower achieving students werenot coming up enough to push the overall averages as high as they would like.
He also stated that even though it was heartening to see the progress in Reading and Math, the goal of the district should be to have 95 percent plus making progress each year and that was what they would have to continue to strive for. Reference was made to PRI (Prescriptive Reading Inventory) and its relationship to what had occurred in the elementary schools and fifth year centers, that there was a strong possibility that it had something to do with the continuing upward movement of achievement scores at those grade levels. He also mentioned that PRI arid DMI (Diagnostic Math Inventory) was first used last year in the middle schools and was implemented very unevenly.
As a closing remark, Dr. Payzant stated that the test results were excellent indicators of the progress or lack of progress that groups of students were making and they did give a lot of information about what to look for, the strengths and weaknesses and where to improve instruction; however, they could be doing a child a disservice by putting too much stock on an individual child's test score and not considering other ways of judging that child's performance;_ that parents should be cautioned not to put too much weight on CAT scores ajdne but to Took at them in concert with the extent to which the child was mastering PRI objectives and other kinds of evidence of what the child was'@r was not doing. He added that as far as giving a good indication for the school district on the direction in which the district was moving in Reading and Math, the test results was a^fai^r measure to use ancfsomething they should continue to take seriously.
Mrs. Hill expressed appreciation for the Report aricFttyp way it was graphically done. -A”*-’’ An observation was noted by Mr. Long with regard to children in certain types of neighborhoods and their test scores and the excellent work of teachers who bring the children a long ways in the affective domain, improving their self-esteem and other ummeasurable things, as opposed to what was reflected in good test scores. He mentioned that aside from whatwa's shown iri:tesit scores, there are so many wonderful things that go on in the school system that are intangible. Mrs. Hermes read the following statement which included a motion for consideration at the October 18 meeting:
"The results of the 1981-82 K-5 CAT scores are indeed encouraging. Our youngsters are making progress in all three disciplines: reading, language, and mathematics. *What is not encouraging are the middle school and high school test results. There are still too many of . o>ur young people attaining Tower test scores this year than they did last year. We must all work together to turn this around. "As the first step and in accordance with our own Board Goal No. 3, I move that Central Office staff, building administrators, and teachers work toward
541
MINUTES OF MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 1982 - CONT'D
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT raising the reading, language, and mathematics scores at each grade *level by next year at this time. This will require staff and principals to support and use PRI, DMI, and all other available teaching materials in the system. This will also require that the district's homework policy IKB for K-12 will be followed. Homework will be assigned on a regular basis. Parents can expect elementary children to have a few minutes of homework, middle school children to have an hour of homework, and high schoolers to have up to two hours worth of homework.
Motion for Consideration at October 18 Meeting cont'd
"All children can learn and the responsibility for it must be shared by the Board of Education, parents, Central Office, principals and teachers alike." Mr. Long stated that with respect to PRI and DMI which :was already a part of the system and something which he had a question about, he would vote 'for the motion but it sdid not necessarily mean that he was endorsing every line.
Mrs. Darrell commented with regard to the report, stating that it was very comprehensive but she had some concern about parents being able to clearly understand it and there might be some merit in trying to find some way to summarize it in short to say to the parent that your child needs improvement or he is doing well or doing bad. With respect to the motion, Mrs. Darrell alsoiexpressed some concern as to how the homework would be monitored and the fact that there were certain methodologies, PRI and DMI, being used by the district and certain people were choosing to not use them. -4*>
Expressiug interest also in test scores being interpreted to parents, Mrs. Hill asked if teachers used the information in parent conferences; to which Dr. Payzant explained that a brochure is sent to parents along with the test scores, which in simple language should help them read the percentile scores and interpret the graphs and usually at the parent conference there is the opportunity to talk about the CAT scores, the PRI objectives and other things that a teacher would like to share with the parent.
In her comments about the motion, Mrs. Brody stated that her concern was that the homework not be busy work and that consideration be given to not scheduling activities at the school when the CAT tests are to be given. Ms. Hall stated that building administrators had been asked to not plan anything for the week that the tests would be given.
Mr. Hibbitts expressed concurrence with the motion and stated that if they were going to place high priority on the test scores, they should have the best conditions and settings possible when the tests were given and the Board goal should be reemphasized to the point that it would be carried out.
I
Mrs. Donwerth stated that stie, too, would concur with the motion but had a question about certain standards before a child could participate in any type of extracurricular activity. Discussion included certain^attendance and a grade point average requirement before a student could participate in someextracurricular activities, and other.
There was also further discussion about the homework policy of the district, the monitoring by the parent and reporting to the principal, the need to keep working with the homework policy and reemphasising it. Mention was also made of a school district where children that had to stay late after school for buses or arrived at school early are told that they must bring homework to do while they are waiting. In presenting an overview of the Promotion and Retention Plan for Students (K-8), Dr. Payzant stated that a 12-person committee chaired by Dr. Lindley had worked during the summer months^drafting the plan; that he thought it important that the plan be circulated to all the schools with the Board Highlights from that particular meeting with an invitation to any principals, teachers, or other staff members, or parents to make written comments on the plan and submit those to Dr. Lindley's office by October 22, which would give the staff the opportunity to summarize those comments for the Board, present them at the November 1 meeting where people could speak publicly on the plan, which would leave two weeks before the Board would take action on a plan at the November 15 meeting.
He added that a promotion and retention plan was in effect in the Oklahoma City schools; that it was updated and made more rigorous two years before, with the net result being that more students were being retained than there were three years ago; that there was some unevenness across the district in implementation of the current plan.
Dr. Payzant then referred briefly to the philosophical assumptions of the plan arid highlighted other aspects that were included. Also in his remarks was that there was an estimate of $250,000 to $300,000 to fully implement the promotion and retention plan.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT Report Promotion and Retention Plan for Students (K-8) cont'd
In conclusion, Dr. Payzant stated that the plan was based on the positive premise that *you try to identify and help students as early in their school career so that they have the time to master the skills that they are going to need to be successful at the higher grade levels; that if the plan was approved and implemented over time, it should have the result of fewer students being retained at the upper grade level if the job was being done in preparing those and retaining those that needed to be retained early, assuming that the students would begin with the district and stay through six to nine years or more of their school career.
Dr. Payzant added that the committee had worked very hard; had been in touch with school districts all over the country to find what was working or not working elsewhere, and had taken good advantage of the experience of other districts in putting the plan together and designing it to meet the needs in Oklahoma City. He commended the committee for the work that had been done. Reference was made by Mrs. Darrell to PRI and DMI being heavily used in determining that students pass or fail and the necessity of it being a "no choice" situation for teachers.
With regard to the estimated initial; cost of $300,000 for the program, Dr. Payzant responded that it would vary up and down, depending on the number of students who would be retained; that some of the costs would be start-up costs and would not be recurring, and other costs would be recurring.
There was discussion, after being'initiated by Mrs. Hermes, about the retention services instead of the learning center services in the Chapter I schools, during which time Dr. Lindley stated that they were proposing that they provide additional instruction in the Chapter I learning centers but in some cases it would have an impact-'on the school in,that providing more instructional time for the children, they might not be able to serve, some who were up around the 40th percentile. Further discussion included a concern by Mrs. Hermes about scheduling the students in the learning centers and lowering the standards of Chapter I services, after which Dr. Lindley stated that they would prefer to not do it that way and if there were additional funds available, they would be agreeable to expanding the program in the schools where it was needed in order to reach everyone from the 40th percentile down.
Mr. Long commented regarding an overabundance of paperwork and other things assigned to teachers that do not allow them to give their full time to teaching the students and the need to allow teachers to spend sufficient time with the students for teaching, which would do away with the need for so many kids to be retained.
There was additional discussion about pulling the students out of class for the learning centers, the time that the child would be in the learning center interacting with the teacher, where the burden of responsibility should lie in retention of the student, timeline for implementation of the plan, the necessity of devising a method for reaching parents, accounta-bility -in._.tjbe_entire process, and the need for a districtwide approach to prdmo-t-Ton and retention. (A copy of"the'Promotion and Retention Plan is on file in office of the Clerk.) Report on Long Range Plan for Bodine School
Stating that he was reacting Tn-part to a motion that was made at the last meeting to be acted upon at that meeting wTtJTTrespect^to information about Bodine School, Dr. Payzant asked the Board to not make any decisions .that evening on a specific Bodine project because of decisions that they hack alreadyjjade to move forward with Eugene Field and Willard projects and make some final decisions there, because they might get themselves in a situation of making commitments to spend more money than they had, which was something he wanted to caution them against doing. He continued by stating that he had taken a look at the enrollment trends in the Bodine area that currently showed that there were 700 plus students in the school which had a building capacity of slightly over 400 students and there were 13 portable buildings on the site; that there was particularly a need for auxiliary space to house speech therapists, counselors, and the media center was not adequate, and there was no room for expansion in terms of regular classroom activity unless additional portables were added; that after loolcing at the enrollment projections and trends expected over the rest of the decade, it was quite apparent that the enrollment would continue to increase in that section of the city possibly to the point where there could be as many as a thousand students or certainly 900 by the end of the decade, which could not all be served in that present school facility. He referred to options that could be considered such as the reassignment of some students, the reopening of Valley Brook School, and building additions at Bodine School; that he and staff started looking at the proposal of perhaps closing the patio at the school, and based on cost estimates and what would be involved with a sprinkler system and meeting other code requirements, they did not

MINUTES OF MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 1982 - CONT'D
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
believe it would be cost-effective to enclose- the patio because it would not provide the*space that was really needed and would be a very costly space to provide, and if they considered all of the variables, it seemed it would be very responsible to add a wing at the school, six or seven classrooms, with a media center, which could probably be built for approximately $760,000.
Report on Long Range Plan for Bodine School cont'd
With reference to Eugene Field and Willard, Dr. Payzant stated that they had talked about a 350 or 400-student building at Eugene Field and looking at the enrollment trends and future need in central city, he thought it would be a wise decision and a good investment to build a 600-pupil school rather than a building that would accommodate 400 pupils, and he was proposing to the Board that he get with them in groups of two or three, along with some key staff people and the architect to explore what some of the options were; that it was possible to design either a 400 or 600student school on the Eugene Field site but they would have to do some creative design work and approach the building a bit differently from what they might consider as a conventional school. He also mentioned the issue of whether or not a school could be built On that site while the current structure was still there and students were in it, and that preliminary discussions with the architect had indicated that regardless of the size of school built, they were going to have to raze the old building; that there was the possibility of doing it in phases so that they could conceivably build the first half of the building on the back part of the property, then demolish the old building and build the second phase of the building on the front part of the property..
Dr. Payzant then referred to some preliminary estimates of a 400-student school being built iTi the neighborhood of $2.5 or $2.6 million and for an additional million dollars, for $3.6 million, they could probably build a 600-student school, which would include site preparation and demolition of the existing building; however, it would not-include architect,fees; that he was directing his remarks to Eugene Field and Willard because those decisions had been made by the Board and they should follow through on the specifics of those projects and the cost before committing major dollars to yet another project; that one other concern he had was the condition of the roofs on some of the existing buildings and it would not be prudent at that point, particularly given the uncertainty of what would happen with revenue sources, interest rates and so on, to wipe out the Bond Fund completely without any kind of cushion at all to take care of the emergency problems that might occur if it was a difficult winter and some of the roofs were damaged to the point of where they would have to be repaired.
In conclusion, Dr. Payzant stated that he was suggesting that prior to the October 18 meeting, borad members would meet in groups of two or three at a time with HTB, Inc., • staff members, Hugh Ginn, and Betty Williams and explore the various alternatives and give him and his staff some feedback on some of their thinking, work toward a plan with respect to Eugene Field and Willard and some cost estimates that would allow them to see what they had in the Bond Fund balance to put into Bodine or to set aside for roofing projects. Mrs. Darrell commented that she would agree~that~They should not deplete the Bond Fund. Mrs. Donwerth stated that she did not want to bankrupt the system but she was very concerned about the situation aFJodine School and as sobn as the money was available she would like to see them direct their efforts to relieving the overcrowdedness at Bodine in some way; that she was interested in some of the properties that were for sale which might be a method of providing somg more moriey .that could be utilized for Bodine; however, she would be hesitant about reopenin^^orne of the schools.
In an additional comment, Dr„ Payzant stated that the staff felt very comfortable with the recommendation-to add a wing at Bodine but the the only reservation they had was whether sufficient resources were available to do it. Mrs. Hill stated that the key issue currently facing them was the size of the building at Eugene Field; that she also thought the Board needed an estimate on architectural fees so they would know exactly how much money they were talking about as they would begin discussing the issue.
A motion was made by Mrs. Darrell and seconded by Mrs. Brody that the decision on the boil di ng project at Bodine Elementary School be delayed until costs were finalized for a-new school at Eugene Field and Willard, and analysis of bond fund balances was complete.
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried.

After Mr. Huff ascertained that members of the Board had received various copies (exhibits) of information pertaining to the complaint, he proceeded with an opening statement as follows: The appeal of the Level II decision by the three complainants was not taken lightly. ^Critical educational concerns of the three classroom teachers have prompted this appeal. Many factors contribute to student learning. Among them being class size, classroom facilities, textbook information, student motivation, audio-visual equipment, and teacher expertise. The single most important factor in student learning is the classroom teacher. All other factors are tools to be utilized as the classroom teacher determines their usefulness. It is not productive to mandate the way that all math teachers must teach their subject. It is not productive to mandate the classroom techniques that all math teachers must use. It is not productive

to mandate the single text that all math teachers must use. The teacher must have ^flexibility to choose and adopt classroom tools that are useful.for the group of students that the teacher is directly dealing with in a given class. If a math teacher is not effective, there are proper channels to improve their performance or remove them from that subject. The complaint filed by three Oklahoma City Algebra I teachers has three concerns- concern that the three textbooks adopted by the Math Textbook Adoption Committee have been excluded as possible texts to be used by the Algebra I teachers. The Saxon textbook was being used in the district and prohibited from evaluation and then mandated as the only text to be used in Algebra I. There are concerns about the data that the pilot project produced and how this data has been used in the selection procedure. The educational reasons for opposition to the Saxon text have not been given full consideration. We will offer exhibits and testimony to substantiate the improper procedure of excluding the three texts adopted by the textbook committee. To set aside the procedures after they have been used is the same as changing the rules of a contest after the contest is over. We will offer exhibits and testimony to substantiate the improper procedure of mandating only the Saxon text for use in Algebra I classes. The Saxon text could have been designated as an additional text available for use in the district. We will offer exhibits and testimony to substantiate that educationally based opposition to the Saxon text was not allowed in the procedure of authorizing the exclusive use of the Saxon textbook. The controversial text has both supporters and opponents on its effectiveness. Only supporters have been given the opportunity to express their views. ft.
Dr. payzant presented his opening statement as follows: As the respondent presents the^case today, I will constantly come back to the overriding issue which is what is best for students. It will be easy through the course of discussion and deliberation to look at this issue based on what seems to be right for teachers. In the best of all worlds it is nice to have the two compatible; namely, what is best for teachers and what is best for students,, but when there is a conflict an issue must be resolved on the grounds of what is best for students'. At the outset I will stipulate that the administrative procedures, IIAA-R1, were not followed when the Saxon textbook was selected and Algebra I teachers throughout the district were directed to use it. I will also argue that Board policy IIAA,.in fact, was not violated; that there is a distinction between Board policy and administrative rules and regulations. Administrative rules and regulations may be modified when there is good and just cause to do so, and the burden of my argument will be that in this instance there was good and just cause to modify the administrative procedures and select the Saxon book. This argument will be based on information that was derived from an in-depth study of the Saxon math book versus the Dolciani math book that was conducted in Oklahoma City high schools during the 1981-82 school year, the results of this study being reported during the summer months and those results being so significant in terms of what they showed in improved student achievement that the setting aside of the normal procedures for selecting a textbook was indeed justified because it was in the best interest of students. The respondent will show that this is one of the few times that'^objective research has been available to assist professional educators with the important decisions of selecting materials to-<ise..iji the classroom; that the study was not available until after the textbook selectiorrprocess was completed by a teacher committee; that it would have been difficult if not impossible to recall that committee in early Augus t'to consider the new study; that a decision had to be made to order the books so that they would-be available for the start of classes in late August and early September. Finally, tine-respondent will show that it would be indeed irresponsible to use a textbook and commit to-it. for a five-year period which has shown to be less effective than the Saxon book in helping' students achieve in Algebra which is a major mission of that course. I will arguethat the complaint should be denied and that Algebra I teachers should continue to use the-S'axon book which is in the best interest of students. Following Mr. Huff's reference to the exhibits that had been provided to members of the Board, Dr. Payzant referred to one exhibit which he was presenting, a copy of the August 16 Board meeting minutes, a discussion on the Saxon study. • • Adding to the exhibits, Mr. Huff presented to the Board a copy of School Laws of Oklahoma 1980, Section 258, Local Textbook Committee - Examination Copies - Adoption Requisitions.
After he proceeded to explain their reasoning for presenting the last exhibit and expressing concerns about the Level II decision, he was requested by the President of the Board to fol Tow the hearing procedure, that of presenting witnesses. Mr. Huff then asked that they go on record as saying there were many things in the Level II decision that they did not agree with. ■-

LEVEL III COMPLAINT HEARING
In her testimony, Ms. Cox was asked to respond to the length of time she had taught Testimony in the district; what were her credentials as a math teacher; if she was familiar Ms. Cox with the Saxon textbook; if there had been a time period in the past when there was only one textbook available for math teachers to use in the district; if the decision was made by a textbook adoption committee if only one textbook was used; the responsibility of the textbook committee and the procedure used in adopting the textbooks for the current school year and the next five years; other teachers who were participants on the textbook adoption committte; the instructions given to the committee on the number of books they were to adopt; if the Saxon textbook was presented along with other texts for selection by the committee; violation of Board policy, and other.
During the testimony, Mr. Huff presented additional exhibits which included the qualifications of Ms. Cox, appropriateness of content on Algebra I topics as related to the Saxon textbook - homework, word problems, technical quality, and relevance to students. A Saxon textbook was then provided to members of the Board, after which Mrs. Hill called for a five-minute recess for members to review the book if they so desired.’
Mrs. Hill reconvened the meeting and Ms. Cox continued with testimony regarding the violation of procedure with respect to the Board policy, rules and regulations, and presented comments about‘additional exhibits relating to the Saxon text about the objectivity, teaching aids, readability, word list and word problems, analysis of comprehensive exam questions covered by pilot study groups, comparison of Dolciani and Saxon classes; facts, concerns, comments, and questions about pilot study on Saxon tgXt, and other. During Mr. Huff's presentation of witness, Mrs. Darrell expressed a concern that much of what' had been presented was not relevant to the reason for which the complaint was filed and admonished Mr/, Huff to stay with the issues pertaining to the policy or regulations violated. Dr. Kimball gave testimony regarding his position and responsibilities with the Testimony Dr. Kimball school system; if he was familiar with the study conducted by Maridyth McBee which compared the achieving gains of students taught AlgebraI with the Saxon text with those taught Algebra I using the Dolciana text; what the results were of the study; how was it set up; if the achievement gains were in favor of the Saxon students consistent with each of the ability levels; what the nature,was of the Algebra test that was used to determine the achievements of the students in the two groups; what the study showed was the professional opinion of the teachers who participated in it about the Saxon text; and other.
On cross-examination Dr. Kimball responded to questioning about those who supported the Saxon text; if he was in the room when the’breakdown of the eight teachers who started the program was presented as an exhibit; if there were two teachers whose opinions of the Saxon text were not included in the report; was there one teacher that did not recommend the Saxon text; was just the pilot group tested on the California Achievement Test score; if all the variables were taken into consideration with regard to the study; if he was directly irTVolved in computing the information in the study; if he had read,, the,_Saxon text; and other.
On re-direct, Dr. Kimball was asked that in his professional opinion, was the study that was conducted by Ms. McBee a valid and reliable study;if in his professional opinion the results of the study which showed’that the students who were using the Saxon materials achieved better than those using the Doiciana.materials such that they could be used by professionals in making decisions «bout.,a text-to be used in the classroom for teaching of Algebra I? Ms. Jones responded to'-questions about her position and responsibilities in the school district; how the textbook selection procedure works in the State of Oklahoma; if it would not be unusual for the district textbook committee to limit its .consideration to those books that were on the state adopted list; if the Saxon book was on the state adopted list; in her experience if the district had ever used single adoptions for specific courses or classes in the school district; what the procedure was with respect to the use of supplemental materials or materials that may not be on the state textbook adoption list or a local school district adoption list; and other.
Oh cross-examination, Ms. Jones was asked if textbooks were not on the state list they were not usually discussed or utilized in the1'. textbook adoption committee meeting; if they were not on the state list, were they usually not discussed at the adoption committee on the local level; if they sometime ended tip on the recommendations by teachers; if there was more than one Algebra textbook evaluated; if a Calculus textbook was discussed that was not on the state adopted list; would there be any reason to question a book that was not on the state adopted list; if there were teachers in the meeting who were very familiar with the Saxon text; if there were teachers there who had opposition to the Saxon text; if she knew some categories where a single text was utilized as the only text for that subject; were those single texts adopted by a committee involving teachers; when the teachers endorsed a single text,

Dr. Lindley responded to comments and questions related to.his position in the school district; if in his position he became involved in the selection and ordering of textbooks; his involvement in the selection and ordering of the Saxon textbook which occurred in the early part of August and the reason that it happened; why a teacher textbook selection committee was not reconvened to consider the McBee study and participate in the decision to move ahead with the Saxon book; if it was correct that he wa| directed by the Superintendent to implement the decision that he made after it was discussed with him and other staff people; did he take a report to the Board at tlge August 16, 1982 meeting reporting on the results of the McBee study and inform the^Board of the decision to implement in all Algebra I classes the Saxon text; and other. On cross-examination Dr. Lindley was asked if district funds were used to purchase the Saxon textbook; if he knew how many Algebra I classes there were in the high schools; would the books that were used in the pilot program have been enough to meet the needs for Algebra I if the district wanted to use the Saxon text on a regular basis; if he knew how many Saxon texts were ordered; was there any requirement that teachers be questioned about the use of the Saxon text; if he was aware that there had been some discussion about the Saxon text during the adoption committee meetings; if he was aware of some oppostion to the use of the Saxon text; if he was familiar with the specific criteria in the Board policy; in his discussion with the Superintendent about the adopting of the Saxon text, were any of those criteria applied to the Saxon text; if he was present at the school board meeting on August 16 when the Superintendent presented it to the Board; if he was informed on the McBee data when he talked with the Superintendent; and other.
Closing Statement - Mr. Huff
Mr. Huff's closing statement was as follows: Last year the Math Textbook Adoption Committee was given detailed instructions for selecting a maximum of thr-eeTtexts to be used by Algebra I teachers in 1982-83. Each complainant participated in the text selection process. Each followedthe-pirQcedjjre and instructions given to them. Two served as members of the actuaTea'doption committee. Mr. Hamdokh served as a part of the building.level team. We submitted to you Exhibit A which gives the state law that requires th-at a-majority of the local textbook committee shall be classroom teachers. It also says that the local /textbook committee shall adopt textbooks from the multiple list selected by thekStgte Textbook Committee. Ms. Cox and the rest of the committee reached virtually unani'mdjjs...agreement on the three texts to be adopted for Algebra I. I remind you that there were both'opponents and supporters of the Saxon text on that committee. The math teachers^. on the adoption committee were fully aware that a pilot program on the Saxon text was in proces's. The Saxon text was in each committee meeting. The committee was willing to use" the same evaluation procedure on the Saxon text as any of the texts on the state list. The committee was told not to evaluate the Saxon text; the reason given, because it was not on the state adoption list; yet a Calculus text already in the district as was the Saxon text, yet not on the state adoption list, was discussed and included on the list sent to teachers for possible use by the teachers. The prohibition of evaluating the Saxon text was improper. The text was being used in the district and future use of the text was a distinct possibility, especially if the results of the pilot program were beneficial^ The committee was instructed not to rate or evaluate the Saxon text. Pilot program teachers were on the adoption committee; teachers who were actually participating in the pilot program were on the adoption committee. I estimate that practically everyone; on the committee except perhaps the laymen were very familiar with the Saxon text. The-administrative decision not to rate or evaluate the Saxon text on the same basis as all other possible texts was a serious error. It is not educationally sound to prohibit a complete evaluation of the Saxon text and then exclude the three texts recommended by the committee and require the use of a Saxon text. A very bad precedent is established if this is allowed to stand. Educational reasons based upon the insights of experienced, concerned classroom teachers must not be ignored in the adoption of texts. The three teachers who filed the complaints are not alone in their concern over the administrative requirement to use only the Saxon text. Building administrators, counselors, and many other teachers are deeply concerned about the exclusion of three texts adopted by the proper committee and a controversial
568
MINUTES OF MEETING OF OCTOBER 12, 1982 - CONT'D
LEVEL III COMPLAINT HEARING Closing Statement text being mandated as the only text. Board policy says there should be a variety - Mr. Huff of textbooks for students. The complainants fully support that policy statement. cont'd The complainants fully realize that Board policy is made by the Board; that the Board has the absolute and total authority to interpret the meaning of Board policy. That is exactly why we appealed the decision to you. All teachers want to understand the clear meaning of policy IIAA and the realistic place of teacher participation in the selection of texts to be used in their classrooms. Surely, the use of teachers on the adoption committees is not just for looks. If this is true, then it appears that the text available to teachers in Oklahoma City should be selected by informed higher levels and the classroom teacher should simply be given the text. The IIAA policy and its regulations should be clearly discarded by the Board and the administration. The results of the pilot program are interesting. The figures in the final report are still controversial; not just the complainants, but many informed recognized authorities on Algebra I teaching efforts maintain the need for continuing evaluation of the effectiveness of the Saxon text. One pilot program does not a cure-all make. Board policy listed specific criteria for evaluating the Algebra I text to be used this year. Ms. Cox has attempted to apply the criteria to the Saxon text. That is part of the procedure. She has attempted in a professional, concerned manner to explain why she prefers to use another text in her classes. I need to make this as clear as possible to the Board; the complainants in no way are seeking to prevent any teacher in the district who chooses the Saxon text from using it. That is not the basis of the complaint. The relief sought is authorization to use any of the three texts adopted by the local math textbook committee. The Saxon at best can be added as an option to those three. The evaluation of the Saxon text can continue. Attempts to persuade more teachers of its possible advantages could continue throughout the year. , The three complainants honestly do not believe it is in the best interest of all Oklahoma City Algebra I students to use only the Saxon text. We ask a definitive verification' of the place of math teachers in selecting a crucial tool, namely their texts. We’ask a definitive'.clarification of the Board's interpretation of a variety of textbooks, and we ask a definitive clarification of the proper application of the Board policy criteria for textbooks. We are not seeding to take away Board authority, to establish district policies. We are not seeking to deprive Oklahoma City students of any beneficial tool that will help them develop their Algebra skills. We are not seeking to prevent the Superintendent from providing educational guidance to the district. We are seeking to keep a constructive and meaningful place for math teachers in the text selection process in Oklahoma City.
Dr. Payzant's closirigi statement was as follows: In August 1982 the results of a Closing pilot program conducted during the 1981-82 school year in several Oklahoma City high Statement schools were published. They showed that the student using Saxon's Algebra I book Dr. Payzant scored significantly higher than those using the traditional Dolciana text. The results of the study were presented to the Board at its public meeting on August 16, 1982, and I advised" the Board as Superintendent that I was instructing all Algebra I classes to use the book for 1982-83. The Board did not object. For the first time the district had some objective data from research to use as a major criterion in selecting a text. When the normal textbook sei ^ctTdfr'proeedure with committee participation was completed in the spring the results of the Saxon study were not available. Since the results of the^study were so significant and particularly because they were important for students, the normal administrative procedure which I have the right to modify as Superintendent was waived in August and the Saxon book substituted for texts selected in the spring by the teacher committee. There is precedent for a single adoption of a textbook for a class. In my view it would have, been improper to wait five years to, again, consider the Saxon book and it was not feasible-in-my judgment to reconvene a committee and go through a committee process -th early-Aygtfst when we were under pressure to make sure that the books were available from the publisher and distributor that they were to be available for the opening of school in early September. Board policy IIAA was not violated.' It speaks only to having a variety of texts. It does not specify that a variety of texts shall be included in every classroom and as noted earlier there is precedent for a single adoption being used in a course. It is true and I stipulated at the outset that administrative procedure was changed, but because justification exists, and in this instance the best interest of students is at stake. You have to keep in mind that our primary mission is an academic one and when we have information that suggests that we can accomplish that mission better by taking one approach or using certain materials over others, as educators we have the responsibility to do so. All too often we have to rely on subjective judgment as the basis fo.r our decision about approaches that work with students, materials that are better than others. We had a breakthrough here, a very refreshing one where we had objective data that shows that one set of materials has a greater impact on student achievement than another. If we hadn't acted on this subjective information and had fallen back on subjective judgment, again, we would have been doing a disservice to those students enrolled in Algebra I in 1982-83 and in the years to follow. The complaint should be denied and the relief sought denied, with the continued use of the Saxon text materials in Algebra I classes throughout the district.

R. #332 Level III Complaint Denied
A motion was made by Mrs. Darrell and seconded by Mrs. Hermes that the grievance *(complaint) be denied.
In discussing the issue, Mrs. Darrell stated that her concern was that in looking at the Board policy, which she did not believe they violated because she did not believe it was all-inclusive; it was adopted December 17, 1979; that perhaps if anything was in error, it should have been reviewed prior to the filing of the complaint; she. did not feel that the policy had beein violated because she did not believe that the policy stated or neither did she believe the statute or the intent of the statute to mandate that only books be used that were on the state approved list. She continued, stating that for the first time probably they did have some objective data available rather than subjective and she felt much more comfortable when she heard from the students because she thought that many times they make'ifar too many decisions for them; that perhaps in the future it might be a better policy to pilot books because then they would deal with subjective data; that she did not find that because the Saxon book was not presented to the committee for a subjective evaluation could really make that much difference; that she was sure that at the time the policy was written it was to function as a guide and not as an all-encompassing policy. Mrs. Darrell also stated that she did feel that one of the other things that she was working toward in the district was consistency of instruction; that it might be that before they change textbooks or procedures again in the future, that it would be worthy of their considering whether or not the teachers should have an orientation to new methods and procedures because methods change; and she could not in good conscience feel^that the complaint had the substance that it should be afforded. Mrs. Brody commented that she had heard a lot of irrelevant things during the hearing; that because of the politics in state adoption, the district has to have books that are not on the list as in the advanced placement classes, and she was curious as to who did choose the non-state adopted books; could administrators choose those or could the teachers decide that they neededatextbook thatwasnot on the state adopted list? She also stated that she was curious that since t-hey knew the Saxon textbook was being piloted, could they not have put off the committee process until the results were in; that she knew some teachers that she admired who were innovative and creative and had all kinds of books in their rooms that they had acquired over the years and they did not go through a textbook selection committee; that she thought the crux of the thing was how they were going to use state adopted and non-state adopted and who did or did not make those choices, and if they were essentially saying that state adoption was the only way they could go unless it came through the textbook committee. She also spoke about the fact that terminology had changed.and expressed a concern about the evaluation checklist and if preferential voting was done.
In response to Mrs. Brody's inquiry about who chooses textbooks that are not on the state adopted list, Dr. Payzant stated that teachers and administrators are,.involved in initiating requests for purchasing use of books and materials that arer'Tibt on the state adopted list; that probably nine times out of ten it was teacher-initiated but occasionail Ty it was admi niStrator-initiยง.ted^
Mr. Huff commented that they had no argument that the principal might choose to use a text which'was not recommended by the committee; that their concern was that the Saxon text was replacing What they believed to have been a duly-constituted committee with proper authority; that the .Saxon text could be used as another option with the three that were already there. Discussion continued regarding the putting, off of the ..decision until the data from the study was completed. ~
Included in Mr. Long's comments were questions which he stated he had asked himself if someone other than an adoption committee could throw out a selection or selections of a committee, what would be the danger; why would it not be better to let the Superintendent or Curriculum Director decide on all textbook selections;- could research be slanted; could anything be proved by research; in communist nations, would textbook selection committees be in use; how much influence did the teacher have on learning in the classroom and should her use of materials be limited? As an additional comment, Mrs. Darrell stated that she would have no problem with them using the other textbook as a pilot but she would want some data to substantiate the difference, because as long as they did otherwise they were still dealing with subjective information, and she thought the kids could speak best about what they comprehend and what they don't comprehend, and from what method that was used. Mrs. Hermes commented that as she listened,.she thought she was hearing that the complaint was not against the selection of that particular textbook but rather on how much teachers had in the decision-making process; that she was hearing that the textbook committee did not have the decision, but she was also hearing that the teachers in the pilot study were overwhelmingly by a two to one vote supportive of Saxon, and

In her comments, Mrs. Hill stated that they really did compare two Algebra books when the two were used and related in the study, and she would have to question whether the policy was violated in the appropriateness of content, relevance to students, and also readability, because if it was not appropriate and readable, she did not think those students would have done too well in the Saxon Algebra.

COMMITTEE REPORTS - BOARD MEMBERS' COMMENTS Mrs. Hermes reported that the changes in the policy on closing schools would be submitted at the next board meeting; that they had" been delayed because of the superintendent search. She also stated that she attended a meeting at Eugene Field the past week and the parents were very excited about the prospects of a new school and were ready and willing to work with the board and administration in any way that they could to make the changeover from the old to the new as smooth as possible.
Comments Mrs. Hermes
With regard to Dr. Payzant1s leaving, Mrs. Hermes mentioned that it was his las£. formal meeting and she wanted to read the following statement: It has been my pleasure to work with Hr. Payzant for two and one-half years. His expertise and professionalism have led UkTahoma City School District 1-89 through some very rough times and through some very pleasurable times. He has been a- good* role model for staff, teachers, parents, and our children to follow, but especially for jus as a board. Seven different personalities do not always see eye-to-eye on.decisions but Dr. Payzant has never played us one against the other but rather^t-Keated us equally, stating his opinion, yet living with our decisions. I really appreciate that. How can I say all that should be said, but at least thank ypuJjegins“TO;>express my and my district's sentiments. Good luck in San Diego”; wfeMia'te to see you go, and God bless you. Mrs. Darrell commented that she was fortunate enough to be able to attend a few of the homecoming activities around the district; that the students in all of the activities were really outstanding and she was impressed with all of the facilities; that she also saw two of the district's bands perform at the Langston homecoming during the weekend and they, too, were outstanding.
To Dr. Payzant, Mbs. Darrell stated that she wanted to say good luck in San Diego; that she personally would miss him; that she had enjoyed the challenge of his intellect; they had agreed and disagreed but she thought they had done so in a fashion that they both benefited from it and she had most certainly enjoyed it,and she was wishing him and his family well and a pleasant stay in San Diego.

Mrs. Brody stated that she, too, wanted to add her appreciation for Dr. Payzant; that Mt was not an easy assignment in that they were seven different people which she thought was a strength but sometimes would get in the way of smooth decision making; that they knew when Dr. Payzant came to Oklahoma City was that the benefits of getting someone really outstanding was that you knew they were not going to die in office but were going to move on to some bigger and better things. She also referred to the president of University of Oklahoma having left to go to California and was returning and she was hoping that maybe the same thing would happen with regard to Dr. Payzant.

In his comments, Mr. Hibbitts a short time, it had been his in San Diego.
Comments 1rs. Donwerth
Mrs. Donwerth commented that since she and Mr. Hibbitts had been on the board, they had received some orientation from some of the administrators in the building and had yisited different departments and hoped to visit more in the future; that they had really learned a lot and she wanted to thank the people for taking the time to show them exactly what t’hedr functions were and it had been very educational for both of them. She also mentioned that a graduate of Southeast High School was playing in the baseball World Series and had been chosen the most valuable player a couple of times, Darrell Porter.

Ms. Reagan spoke regarding retention of students, conditions at Star Spencer High School, and the intent to refile the case of Murphy vs. ISD 89. Speaking as an attorney for a group of parents who had filed a claim for damages with respect to students being searched at Truman Fifth Year Center, Mr. Dobbs informed the board of what was involved in the claim. Mr. Renfro addressed the issues under unfinished business, the policy on School Year/School Calendar and the motion with respect to support for PRI and DMI and the homework policy. Reference was made to a survey of teachers regarding the school calendar and the results and concerns of that survey which included a preference for classes to begin the day after Labor Day, being out of school on Good Friday and Monday jt#ter Easter as opposed to Spring Break, that school not carry over into June because of persons enrolling in summer college courses, and other.
Rev. Winters1 remarks, too, pertained to the student search at Truman Fifth Year Center and'what he had heard, from some of the students.
Remarks by Ms. Nabors included her point of view with,respect to retention of students and the retention policy which was being considered by the board. LEGAL REPORT Mr. Bleakley reported:

‘

School Land Commission Case In the school land commission matter, Judge Cannon last week ordered the sale of all school land in the State of Oklahoma. That decision will no doubt be appealed by the School Land Commission. I would advise this board in your consideration of Judge- Cannon1s ruling that there ought to be some process45y which the benefit to the districts might be analyzed in a financial manner as to whether or not the school districts of this state are going to benefit in the long run by the sale of the school lands and the investment of those monies or to maintain the school lands and to have them administered in a proper way by the School Land. Commission as the courts are now directing that job to be done. I will probably follow this up in a memo to you that if the district wants to get involved in such an analysis^ it ought to do so pretty quickly. As soon as I get a copy of Judge Cannon's written decision, I will distribute it to the board, but his decision, I think, is going to have some long range impact upon the proceeds of the school lands to the children of this state and that might be best analyzed in a financial matter and the district dec^ide which^i'de of that appeal it wants to side with.
2.
Roland Ross Lawsuit, In the lawsuit brought by Roland Ross against the district concerning his termination, the federal court judge has denied the district's Motion to Dismiss and we are now in the process of preparing our answer to file in that matter with the co-counsel for the insurance company.
3.
Proposed Loan from OIA
. I had previously been asked by Mrs. Brody to check on the status of a proposed loan from the Oklahojria Industrial Authority to Living Word Academy. I have determined that the loan did not go through because of the Attorney General's opinion finding it unconstitutional, and the academy did not receive financing through the authority. 4.

Hodges vs. Jones Case
8.
.
There has been a deadline approaching in the case of Joe Hodges vs. Casey Jones. This is a five-year-old piece of litigation relating to the County'Tag Agency. The judgment that was entered in that case provided that after five years the building at 13th and Robinson held by Casey Jones for the County Tag Agency is to be sold. Mr. Jones has asked for an opportunity to establish the fair market value of that property by appraisal and to purchase it from the County Superintendent of Schools who is holding it in trust on behalf of all the school districts in the county. I have received responses from most school districts in the ^county that they are agreeable to such a process as long as they get fair market value. I will be transmitting to you their responses and recommendations for you to consider at the next board meeting. That anniversary will come up in February of 1983.
With regard to the School Land Commission case, Mrs. Darrell expressed a concern about Judge Cannon's order to sell the land, stating that she did not think that was what was being asked for. After Mr. Bleakley explained that he thought the rationale was to monitor the administration of the School Land Commission if to invest instead of hundreds of thousands'of acres to manage, and it would be a more efficient manner of taking care of that commented that she thought it would be better to keep the land the judge's decision.
that it would be easier all they had was money lease and look after, business, Mrs. Darrell and if necessary appeal
Mr. Bleakley suggested that if the Board wanted to make it an informed decision, they would probably want somebody who had expertise in investment and land value, some sort of financial analyst who could look at the proposition and tell them whether-or not it was in the best interest of the school district that the land be soTd-f^ Mr. Long commented about the samejtlrf^.happening in Texas with regard to school lands; that it was put to a vote of* tW'people and it was voted down overwhelmingly that the land not be changed into money; that if it were kept as land it would be harder to get away with. ' "
... .â– After further discussion about' a> appeal, Mr. Bleakley advised the Board to wait until he got the judge's written decisioh^tCL.find out what he had in mind because they would need to lodge their appeal within that framework.____ ,.x 'X _ SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT The next item on the agenda was as follows:
1983-84 High School Curriculum Recommended for Action on November 1, 1982
Recommend adoption of the 1983-84 High School Curriculum for the school district as listed in the “1983-84 High School Curriculum." For Action November 1, 1982
Dr. Payzant asked Dr. David Earle, Coordinator of Secondary Curriculum, to give a brief overview of the modifications in the High School Curriculum handbook as proposed for 1983-84, and noted tjhat there were questions listed that had been raised by various people in the process of considering the handbook. In his remarks, Dr. Earle stated that the Curriculum Department each year prepares a list of courses to be offered in high schools the 'following year and the goal was to provide an array of interesting courses that would provide students meaningful choices as they planned for a career, or college or university studies.
575
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT He referred to some of the proposed changes, however, adding that the changes did not represent a major shift in policy or the structure of the high school curriculum at that time and that they would want to continue to be responsive to the needs of the students in providing a meaningful high school curriculum that was both interesting and challenging. Dr. Earle responded to questions and comments by members of the Board with respect to a course being offered that was not being taken by students; the listing of specific books to be studied; sequential courses in math; the need to develop a committee with a timeline and a charge to go ahead and address the issues that had been raised and others that related to the curriculum offerings; a concern about the use of the California Achievement Test to place students in specific math courses; the possibility of there being a graduation requirement and the preempting of a student from being able to at least attempt to meet it because of missing a test at a certain breakpoint; the need to include courses that will challenge the students; and other.
1983-84 High School Curriculum Recommended for Action on November 1, 1982 cont'd
Mrs. Hill expressed concern about the formation of a curriculum committee which would include board members, after which Dr. Payzant suggested that the Curriculum Department come back with a more concrete proposal for setting up the committee, a timeline, a charge for dealing with the issues that had been addressed and other issues, so that they could get moving simultaneously with the adoption of the handbook and work could begin in the late fall and winter months to address some of those issues and give equal opportunity to debate them with plenty of lead time for the process for next year. A motion'was made by Mrs. Brody and seconded by Mrs. Darrell to direct the following persons to attend conferences as indicated: At School District Expense c

Remarks Superintendent
Dr. Payzant made the following~remarks: 1.
Enrollment X ... ..
We continue to grow in ouf'enrollment. We are now up to 41,729 students which is several hundred over projection-and-we aie delighted. I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I can't say that~’this is^’the„.peiik. Normally, if past experience holds, it would be mid-October or the.find^of October when we have our high point for the year. So the next couple of weeks shouTd tell us whether we have peaked or if we are going to continue to enroll students. 2.
Words of Appreciation
i
I very much appreciate the kind words at the outset about me and my t’eriure here in the district. The experience that I have gained and the delight that I have had working with this board and other members who served before you will serve me well in the future. I think the toughest thing that you do when you leave is to leave the people with whom you work, and I have said right along that when I arrived in Oklahoma people here were as friendly and as receptive in welcoming me and my family to this state as any’place we have been and that was not something that was shortlived in terms of the courtesy extended to anyone in the first month or six weeks. Wherever you aretthe superintendency in this day and age, particularly in a large urban district, you are going to have friends and you are going to have those who are not so friendly; people are going to disagree with you on issues and occasionally some are going to take pot shots "at you personally, but that goes with the territory and it is understandable that that is going to happen. It has happened here some and it will happen in San Diego. It happened in Eugene; it happened in suburban Philadelphia; it happens everywhere. The thing that I take with me, though,most is the good working relationships I have had with staff and people in the community and the board. I am going to miss you; I will stay in touch. I told the staff this morning that I have a stake in what happens in this

place. Although I know I am going to be very very busy in San Diego and more *than occupied with trying to learn all about that system and the issues that need to be dealt with there, I am going to take time to find out what is going on in Oklahoma City, because you don't put four years of your life into a place and just forget about it overnight.
Remarks Superintendent cont'd
As to whether I will come back, I guess I believe in Thomas Wolfe, you can't go home again. 3.
Promotion/Retention Plan I won't be here when you deliberate the Promotion/Retention Plan and I hope you will keep in mind as you look at that plan that it is not designed to rely just on a test score to determine whether a child should be considered for retention. It would take a cut-off score on a California Achievement Test as one criterion. And in part because we agree with some of the people who have spoken earlier and spoke tonight that relying on one test score is not appropriate, we suggested that the child's record of mastery of objectives on PRI (Prescriptive Reading Inventory) be another criterion that is used, which would show a child's progress over the course of some months in mastering specific skills. But in the final analysis it is not going to just be those two criteria; it is going to be teacher judgment along with principal and counselor judgment, and those things are going to come together and be the basis for making the final recommendation on whether a child be retained.
The*?eason that the plan doesn't start with teacher or principal judgment and then do the test scores and PRI's in afterthought is because that is the way it has been. The way it has been has lead to real.unevenness across the district where some schools for whatever reason have not retained students hardly at all and other schools have retained substantial numbers, and there have been many schools somewhere in-between. So the two criteria of the CAT score and the PRI would just be the initial indicator to get a list of children that would be looked at for sure with judgment of the professionals being applied to those children to make sure that some who should be considered for retention would not slip through the cracks as they do under the current approach. 4.
PRI and DMI I hope as you listen to the discussion about PRI (Prescriptive Reading Inventory) and DMI (Diagnostic Math Inventory) that you not get too caught up in making a decision on those two systems based on people's concern about the extent to which we may still have some bugs to work out in the computer reporting piece of those systems. That is only one small piece. In the final analysis the acronyms PRI and DMI are meaningless. It is the approach, the concept that those system^ represent which is important in looking at instruction and what is effective in improving schools. You could get rid of PRI or DMI but sure enough you would be back looking at some other kind-ofinstructional management program that would have the basic elements that those .-systems have; namely, a clear definition of what you expect children to do, some sequence of skills from the simple to the complex, some orderly manner of reporting a child's progress, some means of choosing a variety of activities and materials to relate to the different learning styles of children and the different pace at which children learn, and that is what you need to keep in mind becaus.e,we know that being concerned about those kinds of things in an instructional system in reading and math will make schools more effective than others and will effect.-student achievement. There is not a bigcity school district in the country right" nowJfefrSt is showing gains in student achievement in reading and math, and I am happy to say that many of them are, Oklahoma City included, that do not have some kind of instructional management system in place. It-may not be PRI or DMI but it has the elements of a PRI or DMI. My own view is that it has not been in place long enough to really get the impact of the investment in energy, time, and money that the district has put in. In elementary schools in reading it has been in place really one full year and half of another academic year. In the middle schools it has been in place one full year and not even that in many instances because it was not fully implemented last year. So I hope you will keep those things in mind and be very circumspect in considering the issues that are involved as you look at PRI and DMI and weigh their value and whether they have had the chance to do what they are capable of doing at this point • and time. It
After Dr. Payzant informed the board of a need to schedule a Level III Grievance Level III hearing for Margie Bohanon, members agreed that it be scheduled for Tuesday, November 9, Grievance Hearing 1982, at 9:00 a.m. Scheduled

1.

Additional*-Contract Bus Service
Approval of an agreement^itjj, Garrett School Bus"Transportation Company to provide additional contract bus servit^for\Jefferson Middle School. (Service to include bus, driver, and insurance). TotaT cost"for remainder of the 1982-83 school year to be $3750.00 which will be charged tp Account'“G520.00. With regard to item 1, Dr. Payzant stated that he'wanted the board to be aware that if. they had to pay from $5 to $10 per day, per car for driver education, it would take them significantly over the budget in that particular area.
Inquiring about the dealers from which the district had been leasing cars for driver education, Mrs. Darrell asked if others had been checked with on the matter? During the discussion Dr. Payzant noted that at one time to furnish a car for driver education, the national manufacturers provided incentives to local dealers to provide the cars for local schools in the program and usually the trade-off was a sign on the car saying it was provided by a certain dealer, and when the auto industry fell on difficult times that practice stopped and cars had to be leased; that when some of .the' dealers were contacted to lease the vehicles, a number of them did not want to do it even at $4 a day or whatever it was that was paid initially, stating that they would lose money, and at that time there were the only half dozen or so that agreed to do the leasing and they were now saying they would have to stop leasing them to the district unless they were willing to pay a higher per diem.
Mrs. Darrell mentioned a car dealer from which the district had purchased close to $100,000 worth of vehicles, stating that they would have to get a little bit more astute with where they spent the district's money, and asked Dr. Smith to prepare a report on why they could not get any response from the other dealers that were not on the list.

GENERAL BUSINESS
On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, yes; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs? Darrell, pass; Mrs. Brody, yes; Mr. Hibbitts, yes; Mrs. Donwerth, yes; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion carried.
R. #342 Approval of General Business Items cont'd
BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION A motion was made by’Mrs?Brody and seconded by Mrs. Hermes for approval of the low bid and the awarding of a contract to J. W. Skaggs Construction Company, Inc., for the conversion of a vehicular storage facility which is located at the Service Center into a Vehicular Maintenance Garage. The contract in the amount of $138,641.00 to be charged to Account B1416.
Mrs. Brody expressed a concern that there was approximately $80,000 difference in the engineer's estimate and that of the bid and wondered if the contractors were paying the prevailing wage, in that she did not want the law to be circumvented and jeopardize the district's federal funds. Another concern which she mentioned was that of paying $138,000 for a bus garage and their having agreed at the last board meeting to not expand Bodine for needed classrooms and centers, and there were reports of other elementary schools that were crowded and needed more room. She stated that she was not interested at that point of taking more money out of the Bond Fund to build a shelter for buses..
R. #343 Motion to Approve Low Bid for Conversion of Vehicle Storage Facility Failed
Dr. Smit^ responded that the school district is required by state law to advertise that contractors must follow the prevailing wage as established by the Department of Labor from the State of Oklahoma, and the contract was a union contract.
Discussion-continued with regard to the bid, if the hourly wages were broken down, the prevailing wage by hourly wages for the different kinds of crafts, and the responsibility being that of the Department of Labor to make sure that the prevailing wage was being paid. Dr. Payzant mentioned the fact of having visited with the HTB architectural firm and being told by them that some of the bid openings which they had been involved in recently were coming in at percentages that were incredibly lower than the estimates. He also referred to the garage space presently-.avaiTable at the Service Center for doing maintenance work on buses and other district” vehicles and the need for a better facility to maintain these vehicles.
Interest was expressed by Mrs. Darrell in terms of the status of the Bond Fund account .with regard to the Eugene Field situation and the proposed construction, after which Dr. Payzant indicated that the balance was close to $5 million. Discussion continued with respect to the estimate for the new schools, both-Euq'ene Field and Willard, and the items which followed in the agenda related to Star School.
After Mrs. Darrell inquired as to the number of vehicles worked on in the course of a day and other, Mr. Doug Markham, Director of Transportation, came to the microphone and responded to additional questions, stating that there were only four bays to work on vehicles in the present facility and work was being done outside; that the proposed facility would allow for eight moVe bays which would only be a stop-gap measure; how the vehicles were scheduled for maintenance; and other. Mrs. Brody inquired about the facilities at schools wTrere~^uto mechanics was no longer being taught there, which could probably be used for servicing some of the vehicles, and added that she was concerned about their having to work on buses out in the weather but she was also concerned about having classrooms in cold, leaking annexes.
As a final comment, Mrs. Darrell stated that her concern, of course, was that of safety of the vehicles for transporting students, but she was also concerned about more money in that the Bond Fund was being depleted very fast, interest rates were going down, and her big concern was that if they should encounter anything unforeseen, they would be in serious trouble and she was trying to base her decision purely on from a management standpoint of how low do they cut the Bond Fund; what kind of reserve were they going to keep in there?
Dr: Payzant commented that he had weighed the issue and fought staff off on several occasions, in addition to the time it had come before the Board and been rejected, but they did have some safety factors to consider and it was the bare minimum in terms of taking existing space and really enclosing it to make the additional eight bays; that he thought they would be wise to go ahead and approve.,.it although it was a tough choice to spend additional money out of the Bond Fund. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, no; Mrs. Hermes, yes; Mrs. Darrell, yes; Mrs. Brody, no; Mr. Hibbitts, no; Mrs. Donwerth, no; and Mrs. Hill, yes. Mrs. Hill declared that the motion failed.

Dr. Payzant stated that Mrs. Hill had inquired about whether dates had been set at OCU, 0U anti Central State for start of the summer term for 1984-85, in that some teachers had expressed a concern that the change in the school calendar would push the school closing into the first week in June. Dr. Payzant indicated that in the case of 0U and Central State, the dates would probably b’e decided in March of 1983. Mrs. Darrell commented about the weather in August as compared to June, stating that she did not have a problem either way but she would have a strong position on adjusting the Fall Break and Spring Break and some other things on the calendar to accommodate four hot days.
As further explanation about her asking that the dates be checked for summer school, Mrs. Hill stated that she had been hearing the complaint from some of the teachers that they would be missing summer school, being under the impression that the school year could run to about the middle of June.

R. #347 Adoption of Policy IC/ICA, School Year/ School Calendar cont'd
Motion at the October 4, 1982 meeting by Mrs. Hermes and seconded by Mrs. Brody for action at the October 18, 1982 meeting: "I move that central office staff, building administrators, and teachers work toward raising the reading, language, and mathematics scores at each grade level by next year at this time. This will require staff and principals to support and use PRI, DMI, and all other available teaching materials in the system. This will also require that the district's homework policy I KB for K-12 will be followed. Homework will be assigned on a regular basis. Parents can expect elementary children to have a few minutes of homework, middle school children to have an hour of homework, and high schoolers to have up to two hours worth of homework."
Motion Deferred Until November 1 Meeting
In order to give the teachers some more time for input regarding the motion, Mrs. Donwerth asked that action be deferred until the November 1 board meeting. .5
Mrs. Hermes indicated that it was okay with her but she did not want it to end up in a discussion about the merits and demerits of PRI and DMI; that the motion was presented because of the results of the California Achievement Tests and her feelings that the district would have to get behind better education for the kids, and that they work together in raising those scores using the means that they had in the classrooms as well as the means that they had at home. The Board agreed to defer action on the motion as had been requested. NEW BUSINESS
Mrs. Donwerth inquired about board policies and how often they were reviewed.
Mrs. Hill responded that the policies were renewed once a year at the beginning the school year, but as questions would arise they would need to take a look at that if a board member had a policy that they thought should be looked at or was that really was not expressing the viewpoint of the board, it should be brought attention of the board and. staff and worked out.

School Closing Policy Committee Report Mrs. Hermes
t
I I
!
f
i
ijMrs. Hermes reported for the school closing policy committee and presented to the Board a policy for content review only. She noted that if the content was agreed to, it would be rewritten in policy language. With regard to the changes, Mrs. Hermes stated that the committee recommends continuing the same "check" system used last spring where a school would be on a tentative closing list if it has three checks in any of three columns; those columns being Condition, Capacity, and Membership. This is the same criteria used last spring. Mrs. Hermes noted the change in Number One under additional requirements, which will require that by November 15th of each year, an annual report be made by the Superintendent and sent to the Board and the school principals concerning; the check-off response for criteria A through E for closing of schools. The purpose is to allow patrons in each of the school attendance areas to know on a yearly basis where their school stands compared to the criteria. Mrs. Hermes added that the committee felt that the District should skip this procedure for this year since schools were just closed and ’since the District is in the middle of a superintendent search. Mrs. Hermes further suggested that the policy should require the principals to post this report in an obvious place so that parents don't come) to the Board and say, "We didn't know that we were low in enrollment" or,! "We didn't know that we are not a neighborhood school." Another suggested;! change is that if an elementary building has two checks and they are in the A, D, & E categories, that school will be added to the list for closing. In the spring, if a school gets two checks in just the A condition or D "neighborhood school" columns the committee recommends, if the Board agrees, to add another column, "E", which is Membership ij Decline. The committee felt that if the membership decline is eminent, it raises a red flag and the Board needs to at least look at it. Mrs. Hermes then reviewed Item Number 5 concerning the timing for the special meetings. She reported that at the second regular meeting in n January of 1985, the year of the potential school closing, the Board will;■ call a special meeting to consider the list of schools for closing. The ■! meeting could be called for February or March or April, which would allow^ patrons enough time to start preparing their. rebuttals. The hearings at i| the meetings would be under the same guidelines as now, with each school allowed six minutes. The committee also recommends a change in Item j Number 6. Following the words "regular board meeting", please insert, H "after the special meeting, the board would vote". Under Item 8, Mrs. Hermes reported that the committee recommends the Renovation vs. ! Replacement Report be made every six years starting in the fall of 1984 ;; at which time an architectural firm should be employed. u

In conclusion, Mrs.’ Hermes stated that the committee member-s_wete Tom Hibbitts, Shirley Darrell, and herself. Following the report, there’was'di'scirssion and questions by Betty Hill and others. Mrs. Hill then stated that action on the policy was scheduled for December 6, 1982, and thanked the committee for its efforts.

Dave Renfro Jane Mealy Roena Smith Michael Parker Sharon Gentry Beverly Harris Cyndi Nabors Walter Eskridge Karen Ponder Peggy Cochran (addressed the Board during the 2nd hearing session) Tommie Lou Levi (addressed the Board during the 2nd hearing session)
Dave Renfro addressed the concerns expressed by over 100 teachers who are opposed to the proposal to use PRI's as a criterion for retention/ promotion. He recommended that a committee of six teachers, one counselor, one psychiatrist, two parents, two administrators, and at least one board representative be established to develop a retention plan based on district-wide standards. He urged the Board not to take action on the ^proposal plan until after a review of the findings of the committee. Jane *Mfealy spoke against the proposed retention plan and suggested that time to do research was needed before acting on the plan. Z Roena Smith addressed her concerns with teaching non-English speaking students in the classroom without having adequate bilingual supplies and materials.
Michael Parker spoke as a parent concerned about teaching children to take tests rather than how to obtain the highest value from their education.
Sharon Gentry also presented her problems with the proposed promotionretention plan and suggested ability grading for students in language arts and math at the middle school level. She concluded by asking that promotion and retention not be taken lightly.
Concerns with PRI being touted as a total language program were expressed by Beverly Harris. She also suggested that when talking about effectiveness of instruction, classroom teachers are persons most aware of what needs to be done. Cyndi Nabors Spoke against PRI -and^ the proposed promotion/retention plan. She asked for a delay’in the Board's decision until a committee had been formed to review the policy. She also expressed concern over need for more fund allocation for supplies and materials.
Other opposition to the propgsed promotion/retention plan was expressed by Walter Eskridge,^whg^suggested that PRI scores and CAT scores be used as a verification of a teacher's own recommendations and observations. X.iv “ Karen Ponder spoke about the opposition to the proposed promotionretentign plan, and that no teacher input was involved in developing the plan.
LEGAL REPORT Mr. Bleakley reported: Star Elementary School Explosion
We have had two litigation actions since the last meeting. There was a hearing on the petition for interpleader in the Star School explosion case that was heard by Judge Cook who has identified a number of legal issues to be briefed by the parties to the action and a briefing schedule was established. The four issues that. Judge Cook wants briefed are the constitutionality of the political subdivision's tort claims act; the constitutionality of the limits in that act, on the amount of damages that can be awarded; the third issue is the constitutionality of the provision with respect of the dismissal of individual employees upon settlement of the action; and fourthly, the courts jurisdiction to hear

REMARKS Remarks Mr. Ginn
Mr. Ginn made the following remarks:
I have three very brief items to report. 1.
We are continuing to increase slightly in enrollment. The October 29th statistic shows a total enrollment of 41,762. Two weeks earlier the enrollment was at 41,729, so there is a stabilization or a very slight increase in our total enrollment.
605
REMARKS <2.
You have before you a note from Jack Isch regarding a vocational fair which is to be conducted at Quail Springs Mall on Friday and Saturday, November the 5th and 6th. If you have time, it is suggested you drop by and view those displays of what the students are doing.
3.
The staff has been working with the architect and working on assignments, taking the steps necessary to develop the plans for the new elementary school building. Later on in this agenda you will have an item that relates to some of the preparation being taken concerning housing the students next year. Also, we have given instructions to the architect and have asked for a time line of what the schedules are, for the various phases of development. We hope at the next regular meeting of the board to have a report on how the educational specifications that were supplied to the architect are being placed into sketches and prints which will cause the building to be more than a dream.
Remarks Mr. Ginn

MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 1, 1982
UNFINISHED BUSINESS Mrs. Hill asked for comments on the motion. Mrs. Brody suggested that the AFT should appoint the teachers and the principal's association should appoint the principals. There was a general discussion concerning the appointment of the committee members. The consensus was that the AFT would submit a list of names of teachers and counselors, meeting the requirements as to grade level and assignment, from which the Board could choose the representatives. The Board would choose the three principals and the two patrons, and Mrs. Hermes was appointed to be the Board member serving on the committee.
R. #364 Cont'd
In closing the discussion, Mrs. Hill reminded those involved that committee members should be selected immediately since the committee recommendations were due back on December 6. Mr. Long commented on the fact that the new superintendent may be appointed as early as February and supported that he or she should have the chance to add to or suggest changes in the policy. Mrs. Hill responded that action should occur this year, if a,-superintendent is not on board. On roll call, the votes were as follows: Mr. Long, aye; Mrs. Hermes, aye; Mrs. Brody, aye; Mr. Hibbitts, aye; Mrs. Donwerth, aye; Mrs. Hill, aye. Mrs. Hill declared the motion carried.
Comments Mr. Long
|NEW BUSINESS i H Mr. Long stated that he had some comments to make that he did not want to present until the other business was finished for fear he might upset the procedure. The concerns Mr. Long had were about the dinner given in I honor of Dr. Payzant,by the friends of Dr. Payzant. Mr. Long commented that although many invitations were sent out that two members of the Board did not receive invitations in the mail. One member, who inquired, was told his invitation had gone astray, and another invitation was mailed. The second member did not hear about the event and thus did not know until it was over that it occurred.
Mr. Long inquired why an inquiry was not made to see that all Board members were invited. He asked Mr. Ginn to check into the matter and give him an explanation. He stated he would also like to have an accounting of the money; how much was taken in; how it was spent; how much was left over; and where it went? Mr. Long concluded by saying that he planned to write Dr. Payzant and explain that he was not aware of the farewell event.
Comments Mrs. Hill

MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 9, 1982
Mr. Renfro began with the following opening statement: Opening Statement Mr. Renfro
The Grievant, Margie Bohanon, an elementary teacher at Willowbrook with thirteen years service to this District, has been denied an amount of money contractually guaranteed her. In 1979, prior to negotiations breaking down between the School Board and the Union, tentative agreement was reached on the language currently found in Article 14, Section 1H. Because of the job action taken by teachers that fall, a new agreement for the 79'-80' school year was not reached. The School Board later, unilaterally, adopted this previously negotiated item as Board policy. The Union and the Board has for the last two years continued our agreement on this negotiated benefit for teachers. At Level II, the respondent, Mr. Jim Savage, indicated that the language you unilaterally adopted as policy during the 79'-80' school year was vague. He also indicated that he helped draft this very language that he now claims is ambiguous. The Grievance suggests that School Board members knew exactly what was intended in the policy they adopted. The Grievant also places confidence in Mr. Savage's ability to not draft ambiguous language for school district use. That is, unless he was motivated to make the School Board look foolish by forcing such ambiguity. Or he planned to use it only when it benefited administrative purposes. No, we believe that Jim Savage and the School Board knew what was intended by the very simple and direct language found in Article 14, Section 1H. The keyword in that language is the word "mdte". I quote, "Teachers who have more than 50% of their annual allocation of sick leave remaining at the end of the contract year sja&ll receive $10.00 for each day remaining." We have conceded at the beginning that it may have been improper to ask for the $5.00 for a half day of unused sick leave, but the contract intent as well as actu,al language clearly has only one qualification for eligibility to bonus pay and that' qualification is the literal fulfillment of the word "more". Nowhere in this section, this article, or this contract will you find language such as "more" to mean by at least one full day. It merely says and means "more". Webster's Encyclopedia of Dictionaries, New American Edition, defines "more" as 1. greater in amount; 2. greater in number; 3. additional; 4. in a greater quantity; 5. something additional.
The Grievant teaches first grade. In preparation for this hearing, Mrs. Bohanon asked her six and seven-year-olds which is greater, 5 apples or 5i apples? Well, her six and seven-year-olds responded unanimously that 5i apples were more than 5 apples. According to District computer records, Mrs. Bohanon used only four and one-half days sick leave. According to Administration's own records, Margie Bohanon has five and one-half- days left. One-half above, in addition to, in greater quantity, more than five. To deny any teacher5' a contractually guaranteed bonus payment based upon administration's clairh of vagueness or past practice, as was done at Level II, is irresponsible, demoralising, a nd~~we—believe, somewhat dishonest. We intend to demonstrate that the language adopted by this Board and partiallyxlraf-ted by Mr. Savage himself, is not vague but instead says what it means. Even though we are confident that this School Board will not be fooled by^rhetoric that past practice supercedes specific contract language, we in^iapd to demonstrate that the union, the administration, and you, the^chooL^oard, recognizes the past and present use of one-half day, thereby negating respondent's claim and the Level II hearing judges decision*that~ the,,past practice they speak of, at the very most, is a tool to deny teachers contractually guaranteed compensation. We further intend to demonstrate to you, that the grievant by District computation had remaining at the end of the school year 81'-82', more than the contractually required 50% of allocated sick leave days. Finally, we intend to demonstrate to you that Margie Bohanon, a first grade teacher with thirteen years service to this District, a classroom teacher at Willowbrook Elementary, was unjustly denied the compensation guaranteed her contractually in Article 14, Section 1H. Thank you.
620
MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 9, 1982
Mr. Savage presented his opening statement as follows: TJie respondent will show that the District did not violate the contract language in denying the payment of sick leave bonus to the Grievant. The language may not be as clear as it should be in the negotiated agreement, however. We will show that during the two negotiating sessions that we had after this policy was adopted by the Board, that no question was ever raised at the bargaining table on "whether we were talking about half-days counting toward more than 50%". It was clearly understood and the payment has been made on that basis not only for teachers but for classified personnel and principals since the policy has been in effect. Mr. Renfro, I think, was erroneous in his statement that the Board did adopt this policy and that we put it in the negotiated agreement that following year. The Board adopted the policy of payment for perfect attendance only, not for payment of more than half of the sick leave. When we entered into negotiations, we changed to pay the $50.00 bonus for perfect attendance and then pay $10.00 a day for each day more than 50% of the annual allocation of sick leave days. That is reflected in the minutes of the Board meeting of January 21, 1980, when Dr. Payzant said that some question had been raised at a prior board meeting about interpretation of the Board policy as adopted. His remarks made it clear that we were talking about the total bonus payment of $100.00 if you had perfect attendance, not where we changed it later in negotiations and cut it to $50.00 for perfect attendance and then $10.00 for dhch day for more than half of the annual allocation of sick leave days** We will have testimony to show that this procedure is one that has been followed. Also, we will show that the negotiated agreement says that this payment will be included in the June 30th warrant. ,,At this point I would like to question the fact that this grievance may not be timely filed. 'If the grievante felt she was due a bonus, she should have realized that the bonus- payment was not in that pay when she received her June 30th warrant. She waited until the 16th of September to file'the grievance at Level II. As far as past practices, it is standard procedure during arbitration hearings and in guidelines used by the American Arbitration Association that if contract language is readopted it means you understand the provisions under which that language has been used in the past years. We will introduce as exhibits those rules anci “guidelines that the American Arbitration Association has used. We will show that the question (of the half-day) was not raised by members of the bargaining unit at the table during our negotiating sessions although we have had other questions during the past two or three years that this has been in effect concerning why people did not receive bonuses. We will also have iiestimony from our attendance officer on what her response has been arid show that no previous grievance has been filed on this ' manner.
Opening Statement Mr. Savage
Following the opening statements, Mr. Renfro called on Ms. Margie Bohanon for her testimony. Ms. Bohanon responded to questions by stating that according to the computer printout, dated 5-30-82, she had 5i days of sick leav^ left at the end of the 1981-82 school year. She also indicated that she didnot know the balance unused until she saw this printout the week before school started. She stated that she thought she would receive her bonus on the last check for the year. ~
Testimony Ms. Bohanon
On cross-examination, Mrs. Bohanon was questioned about the length of time she had been._a teacher and an A.F.T. member. Through Ms. Bohanon's testimony, it was determined that she had taught for thirteen years. At this point, pursuing this line of questioning was disallowed by Mrs. Hill. Mr. Savage, when explaining his questioning, stated he was not raising the issue of timeliness of the grievance, but he was concerned that a teacher belonging to AFT had not been aware of what the negotiated agreement said. He further stated that the Union had the responsibility for interpretation of the negotiated agreement to its members.
621
MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF NOVMEBER 9, 1982
Testimony Ms. Shouse
Mrs. Shouse was then called as a witness. Through her testimony, < Ms. Shouse established that she was employed as an attendance secretary for the District. She stated she was responsible for checking attendance reports sent to the personnel department from the various schools and departments to verify that employees who are absent have enough leave to cover their absence without loss of pay. Mr. Renfro questioned by whose authority it was to make the decision that when computing sick leave bonus days, a teacher had to have six full days remaining before compensation could be paid. Mrs. Shouse related that there was no written authority, just that the computer listed only those teachers with six or more days as being eligible. She further testified that other teachers had called concerning the interpretation; that the calls mainly occurred in July; that there are approximately between 35 to 40 teachers that were affected by the decision that full days only could be counted; that the use of half-days for "docking" purposes, and for "attendance" purposes was a standard practice; and that George Russell was Director of Personnel when the practice of using six full days for computing bonus compensation was started. On questioning from Mr. Savage, it was determined that Ms. Shouse felt that the original intent was to pay the compensation bonus for sick leave for six full days or more only; and that a classified employee had recently filed a grievance on the same complaint and had been denied.
Testimony Ms. Hafen
The npxt witness, Mrs. Hafen, stated that she is a regional director for -the AFT and that she is a member of the Oklahoma City Federation of Teachers Grievance'Committee. She indicated that she was Ms. Bohanon's representative at the Level II hearing, and that there was nothing in the contract that required six full days of sick leave being left before the bonus could be paid. From Article 14, Section IV, paragraph 1, under Cummulative Leave Without Pay, she said it stated, "a day's absence is defined as an absence of six or more hours of a teacher's work day and a half-days absence is an absence of more than two hours but less than six." Ms. Hafen also gave her interpretation that the language in Article 14, Section 1H, also referred to 50% or more, which in the instance in question means anything more than 5 days. At this point, Mr. Renfro distributed exhibits as follows:

Mrs. Ahddrsbn was called as the District's first witness. Through her testimony, Ms. Anderson established that she was the Hearing Officer at the Level II grievance^n$ at that time it*was her interpretation that the $10.00 per day bonus be^pajd on full days only. Also, she stated that the American Arbitration -Associ'ation had indicated that where vagueness or ambiguity existed, ttiat past“ptactice could be used. Further, she stated that she had reviewetL'tne Oklahoma State Statutes to determine if there was a definition given for the word, "day". She readfrom the statutes that fractions of a day are to be disregarded in computations which include more than one day and involve no question of priority. She concluded that it was her interpretation that based on the definitions, combined with the notion that the $10.00 bonus be paid on full days only, that it should be paid only on the full days remaining in excess of 50% and that only full days could be used to determine eligibility.
Ms. Anderson also commented about how the language got into the contract, the reason for the bonus days, and other. 4.
622
MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 9, 1982
On cross-examination, Ms. Anderson was questioned concerning the ambiguity of the policy statement, the language in the contract, the intent of the policy as stated, and the definition of a whole day. Mrs. Anderson explained her interpretation to these questions and others as they related to the sick leave bonus.
Testimony Ms. Anderson Cont'd
On final questioning from Mr. Savage, it was pointed out that a grievance on sick leave bonus had been filed by a classified employee and that the grievance was denied. Since that time, the contract with the classified employee group had been changed so that it could be clarified.
Before starting the formal closing statement, Mr. Renfro again reiterated that the $5.00 difference was not at issue. He stated that the policy did, in fact, call for only full day increment payments. The use of a half-day to constitute a legitimate more than 50% was the issue. Mr. Renfro began by saying, we stated earlier that we would demonstrate that the language adopted by the 1-89 School Board as policy following unsuccessful contract negotiations was clear with simple intent to pay a bonus to teachers with more than 50% of their sick leave days remaining at the end of the year. If Mr. Savage, an experienced negotiator and veteran contract language writer, intended, trul^ intended, to pay bonuses to only those teachers with at least 60% of their sick leave days remaining, as is the net result of his interpretation, he would have surely drafted it as such. At the very least it would have been proposed across the table during the last two years of,negotiations, especially based upon the knowledge that there were nuifterous teachers contesting the interpretation. We also stated at the beginning that'we intended to demonstrate to you that the respondent's claim of past practice is without merit. Testimony given by Ms. Shouse and Ms. Hafen make it apparent that the Union, the Administration, arid you, as School Board members, have long legitimized the value of a half days work. In addition, I point out that as a School Board, during negotiations this past year, your bargaining team rejected the concept of utilizing past practice in the grievance procedure. This is evidenced by Exhibit B. Please note if you will that it was the Union proposing this concept and Mr. Savage, on your behalf, rejecting it. As I stated earlier, Administration cannot have it both ways. You cannot allow past practice regardless of its lack of merit, in this instance, to play a role in your decision. To do so, would be in the mind of the Union, a breach of the good faith bargaining mandated by law. We have shown, as promised, that the grievant did indeed have, even by Administration's own records, ipore than 50% of her sick days remaining. According to provision violated, Article 14, Section 1H, that is all that is specifically required. Margie Bohanon met the contractual^.requirement to receive a bonus of $50.00. She did not receive it or any portion of it because the respondent says the language is vague, ambiguous, and is superceded by past practice;' The language you agreed to as a School Board this past August, the language JimJSavage agreed to this past summer, and the language the School Board adopted as policy during the school year 79'-80' is very simple and v^ry^qlear. It simply and clearly states that teachers who have more than*50% of their annual allocation of sick leave remaining at the end of tjae-coritracf. year shall receive $10.00 for each day remaining. If the Administration, the School Board, or the Union had intended this benefit be for only those teachers with six or more days rather than allow for a legitimate five and one-half days;- we have all had three years to change it. We did not; they did not; and you did not. Members of the Board, this District owes Margie Bohanon $50.00
Closing Statement Mr. Renfro
623
MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF NOVEMBER 9, 1982
Closing Statement Mr. Savaqe
Mr. Savage's closing statement was as follows. The purpose of the n payment of the bonus for unused sick leave was an incentive to help the District reduce the need for substitutes in the schools. We figured we could save money. This policy, as I pointed out in my opening statement, was one that was adopted by the Board. It was originally adopted by the Board strictly for perfect attendance, to pay a $100.00 bonus, or $10.00 per day for perfect attendance only. It was an attempt to get teachers to stay in the classroom and reduce the cost of substitutes. The following year, actually the same year, when we resumed negotiations again, one of the proposals made at the negotiating table was that we would pay $50.00 for perfect attendance, but those teachers who had more than half of their annual allocation of days left at the end of the school year would receive $10.00 for each day remaining. That was first done in 1981 when we first started paying the $10.00 per day. As Ms. Shouse pointed out in her testimony there were complaints in '81', there were complaints in '82'.
Bonus payments are always made in the June 30th warrant; just as stated in the contract. In past years when those warrants were received there were complaints, as Miss Shouse testified, in July. That's when she gets most of the complaints. We were at the "table" in July and there was never any discussion at the table or at the two prior negotiating sessions we've had since this was put in the contract that it was uncAear to the people concerned. They simply accepted the interpretation that had been made just as they accepted it in the past. If MÂŁÂŁ. Bohanon, when she received her June 30th warrant, realized she did not get her bonus that she thought she was eligible for, she could have notified the proper representative. They could have brought the discussion up in the negotiating session, at the bargaining table. We feel that much has' been said about past practice and not the proposal to grieve past practice. The reason past practice was mentioned is strictly because of some guidelines put- out by the American Arbitration Association that were mentioned at the Level II hearing and also mentioned here today. Had we ended up with binding arbitration of grievances at the third level as proposed by the Union, this is one of the guidelines that the arbitrator would have used. If the contract does not seem clear or seems ambiguous, then you have to look at past practice. Our position is that the past practice of the District has been used in payment of these bonuses the last two years. This practice has been previously accepted. We feel that if the language is not clear the proposal should be brought to the bargaining table next year when we are discussing the article on sick leave, and fringe benefits, and addiitonal compensation, and bonuses for payment of unused sick leave. I request that the grievance be denied.
R. #368 Level III Grievance Upheld
Following the closing statementsT'MTS'. Darrell made the motion, seconded by Mrs. Hermes that the grievance be (upheld and the grievant be) awarded-with the amended allowance of $50.00 instead of $55.00.
Mrs. Darrell commented that-jvhen reading the supplied material before the hearing, she also interpreted section 8 to mean that in order to qualify for the bonus pay, a teacher must'have more than 50% of the days left; and that in her opinion any tim^you are above .5, you should round up to the next number. She also commented that if the grievance had been found to be untimely filed, it should not have been accepted in the first place. Mrs. Hermes stated that she thought the language concerning the bonus days was not ambiguous at all. She further commented that even if the policy statement was not as it was intended, that the Board cannot decide grievances on intentions; the meanings have to be clear.
Agreeing with the others, Mr. Hibbitts stated that if he were a teacher and the situation existed with him, he would feel that he had the money coming. He further stated that if six days were what was intended, then it needs to be made clear next year.

Mr. Long said that he had known Ms. Bohanon for many years and felt she was a fine dedicated teacher, more interested in the students than ip the $55.00 involved in the grievance. He stated that she was just paving the way for others that might have this same problem.

Superintendent Search Report
Let me give you a progress report on our Superintendent's search. I have had another report from Dr. Harold Webb of Harold Webb Associates, the consulting firm that the Board retained to conduct the search for a new Superintendent. I should remind you again, that the deadline for applications is not until December 1, so this is only a progress report. Dr. Webb believes that many outstanding applications will be received within the next two weeks. Dr. Webb reports that personal letters and vacancy announcements, brochures, have been sent to about 350^key individuals and organizations across the country; that he and. hi^’associates engaged in extensive personal contact work on our behalf at^the recent Conference of Large City Superintendents; and that he has been in constant telephone contact with selected potential candidates. To date, Dr. Webb has 65 actual responses in various stages of development./ As I said earlier, he expects many more before the December 1 deadline. Dr. Webb asked that I report to you that he thinks the search is going very well and he's confident that he will provide us with an outstanding slate of final candidates. Our next meeting of course is not until December. We will have a final update from him at that time.

HEARINGS Tljie following person addressed the Board: 1.
Hearings
Michael Winter
Mr. Winter spoke concerning a proposal he planned to present to the City Council requiring businesses to not allow school-aged students on the premises during school hours. He suggested this as a deterent to truancy.
LEGAL REPORT Mr. Bleakley reported as follows:
1.
Attorney's
Lone Star School Suit In the quiet title action involving the Lone Star School site, we have a pretrial set for the 18th of this month. We have taken one deposition in that matter. For pretrial, we're going to prepare a set of stipulations and see if this matter can be presented on a motion for summary judgement instead of having to go ^to the expense of a trial.
2.
School Land Commission Case We have filed a Petition in Error in the School Land Commission case, asking for a hearing back at the trial court on the issue of whether or not it's in the school children's best interest to sell the school lands as has been ordered by Judge Cannon.
3.
Star School Explosion The plaintiffs briefs were due today in the Star School litigation. We have not yet received them and anticipate receiving them in tomorrow's mail.
4.
Sale of Sunnyside School There is one item that is under items pending. Item number 3, Which relates to Sunnyside School, states that we are preceding to clear title as instructed at that particular Board meeting. There is actually no activity to clear the title. What we have been trying to do is negotiate an agreement with the lady who holds the reversionary interest to work out a joint agreement for the sale of the property. Those negotiations have been very active lately and I'm hopeful that we will have a proposal to present to the Board for the joint sale of that property by the person holding the Reversionary interest-on part of the land and by the school district...
Following the attorney's report, Mrs. -Hermes-raised a question concerning the sales procedure for the Zachary-J?ajzlor school property. Mr. Shepard responded that the District was currently soliciting bids on the property, and that one of the bid conditions gave the City of Oklahoma City thej'rigfit of first refusal" on that part of the site they were interested in. This means that the City will have the first option to buy the land they are considering for a park.
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT A motion was made by Mrs. Darrell and seconded by Mr. Hibbitts to direct the following persons to attend conferences as indicated:

Superintendent ’s Report Cont’d

Total number of days classes in session, 175 /
*The Board will choose between Fair Day and Arts Festival Day before adopting the calendar'. There were questions concerning the calendar from Mrs. Donwerth and Mr. Hibbitts. Mrs. Donwerth questioned the dismissal of school for Fair Day versus dismissal on an Arts Festival Day, inquiring why the various employee groups preferred Fair Day. Mr. Renfro responded for the AFT that based on a survey of teachers, the response was four to one in favor of Fair Day. He also commented about complaints of vandalism and pilferage that according to the Arts Festival personnel could be contributed to students attending the event. Mr. Hibbitts asked about the possibility of adding a second parent conference day for Kindergarten teachers, since they have twice as many students to see as other elementary teachers. Considerable, discussion followed, and Mr. Ginn indicated that the possibility^will be checked into. Final discussions concerned getting feedback from parents and teachers as to their ..feelings about the calendar prior to action on December 20.
REMARKS
Mr. Ginn concluded his remarksby informing the Board that the District is moving forward with the planning of the new school at the Eugene Field site and plan to move post haste on the Willard project. -

At this time, she stated that Dr. Webb has 59 firm, serious applicants who wish to be considered for the position. In addition, there are about 40 others who have submitted their material, but have not yet given firm confirmation that they wish to remain as candidates. Among this second group are six persons from the State of Oklahoma. Dr. Webb is in the process of contacting these candidates personally to see if they are still interested. Dr. Webb said that the search has gone extremely well and that he will provide the Board with some excellent candidates for consideration. He and his consultants plan to meet next weekend to start reading all the resumes and doing the reference checks. He had suggested that January 10, 1983 would be a date when he could come to Oklahoma City and at that time we would bring the list of 10 (approximately) finalists that he has selected.

Tlje following person addressed the Board: 1.
Hearings
Jim Wallace, Principal, Telstar Elementary School
Mr. Wallace stating that he represented the American Federation of School Administrators Local 78, asked to address some issues he believed needed to be improved. 1.
He stated that twelve (12) veteran principals had been misplaced on the salary scale; that in some instances it had taken 13 years to get to maximum on a 10 step program; and that traditionally one year of experience has been equal to one step on the schedule.
2.
The second concern was the way assistant principals were credited for years of experience. After reviewing some of the history, he pointed out that an agreement had been made with Dr. Payzant that three years of experience as an assistant principal would count as 2 years on the principals salary schedule. Jerry Black was mentioned as an example of losing credit for years served as an assistant principal.
3*
Mr. Wallace further stated that principals still oppose paired schools because of the need to have an administrator in a building. He recalled that two years ago the group went on record as a whole for closing small schools that t could not be properly staffed. ÂŤ
4.
The fourth jioint was his opposition to the teaching principal since in his opinion they are not treated fairly salary wise and they cannot spend adequate time as the Administrator.
Mr. Wallace concluded by stating that many of the points mentioned could have been prevented if the principals had a written contract.
LEGAL REPORT Mr.Bleakley reported as follows: 1.

Mr. Bleakley also responded that he had filed a Petition in Error with respect to the issde of the sale of school lands.
TREASURER'S REPORT

Don Ladd gave a routine Treasurer's Report. He then responded to a question from Mrs. Darrell concerning the federal funds, some of which show a negative balance.

Promotion/Retention Committee Report Pat Watson presented the report on promotion/retention. She stated that although there were details to be refined, primarily in the area of the student performance report, that all those involved; principals, teachers, and central office staff, had reached concensus and could live with the plan. Mrs. Watson recommended that the plan be piloted in order to find out how it can be strengthened, whether it is workable, the effect on students, and the number of students involved. She pointed out that the proposed plan is different from present policy in that the parent waver is no longer there. Further, Mrs. Watson stated that this plan emphasized promotion. The idea is that every child who can master the skills and can succeed will be promoted to the next grade. At the start of a year, if a student does not appear to be mastering the necessary skills at a fast enough rate, then services will be provided for remediation, including working with the home and using other resources of the school district. The key points in the plan are ways to identify that child and to remediate. The key is also teacher's judgment. A team of teachers who work with a student throughout the year will determine the retention or promotion. That judgment is to be ÂŤbased on many objective pieces of information about the student's mastery of specific skills. There are documents to support the teacher's judgment. There are teacher's records, the gradebook, attendance, samples of daily work, daily observation with that student, the teacher's knowledge of the uniqueness of each child and the strengths and weaknesses of each child. For the plan to be successful the district must commit* resources to remediate the student and considerable cooperation among the teachers and staffs in the schools and central office in support roles is required. The committee recommends the plan be implemented on a pilot basis for the remainder of this year, refined during the summer and continued in a modified way next year. The way the plan operates is this. The teacher"identifies students whose performance may not allow promotion early in the year by looking at teacher records, observing students on a daily basis, and reviewing supporting data such as achievement test scores, PRI, any other pieces of data that would give the teacher a clue to the child's abilities. The teacher completes a student's performance report which gathers all this data into one place, whi,ch is a strength of this policy. The student performance report'is completed at the beginning of the year as the teacher begins remediation and is finalizedat the end of the year when all the data is in and the summary conclusion can be made about that child's ability to succeed at the next grade. Teacher judgment is based on all available data. The teacher and the team at the school make a promotion/retention recommendation to the principal that is relayed to the Director and the parents. Parents may file an appeal. The information will be reviewed at that appeal hearing and a decision made. â– if the school staff disagree with the decision that is made they cpunterappe^l and show additional information about the student. if the/paf'ent appeal is successful and it's upheld, the student would promote. If the appeal is not upheld, the student would be retained and there will be a more detailed -.plan developed for the second year program for the remediation of that student in the second year, helping them to catch up to grade level. Comparing this plan to the earlier proposal, the earlier proposal said a student who surpasses minimum requirements for promotion may be retained if retention is recommended by the school principal and is approved by the director. In thqÂą plan the identity of students who do not meet the promotional criteria will be determined each year by a data processing list. The new wording in that whole section from pages 4 to about 12 of the new plan has been changed. In the new plan, elementary teachesrs representing grades one to five will identify

students by examining daily work, reading and math skills performance, work habits, attendance, etc. as references. To reinforce teacher judgment, each school will be provided a printout of students who scored at or below the 15 percentile on the Spring 1982 California Achievement Test and who failed to obtain the minimum number of PRI objectives. One other comparison of the two plans is that this plan has a student performance report in it which collects such information as previous retentions, chronological age, attempts to contact the parent, results of home contacts, all test scores, special education status, grades and attendance, comments about progress, and information on the skills checklist, particularly for the middle school. Some changes have also been ' made in the time line from the earlier proposal. Additional steps were put in; particularly the appeals conference and the notificaz tion of school staff of decisions. Finally, the recommendations from the chair are that it be on a trial basis and that school staff, parents, administrator experiences, observations and other data be collected to document the effectiveness of the pilot plan. Also, the chair feels this committee should continue to meet during the summer and review these data and subsequently present another report for modification and improvement of the plan. To help the plan succeed, an information saturation program is really vital. People must know what the policy is, understand it, be able to answer questions, and get the information they need to go through the process. The earlier proposal talked about criteria. •This proposal talks about process. One piece of the task is incomplete; the instructional program piece. The committee could not within the time frame given, get to that as-thoroughly as many of the committee members needed. It is recommended that the committee meet on a monthly basis to review efforts to refine that program. The group has quite a commitment to a successful remediation program and really won't feel their job is finished until that's done. We don't have cost implications and probably can Vit- until we go through one year with this program and see how many students will be retained. We have no history and because of the emphasis on teacher judgment, we can't come up with a predictable number of students that will be .. involved at this time.
Comments Mr. Long
Following the presentation, Mr. Long questioned the code to be used for excepting students classified as emotionally jhaffdicapped. His concern was that students should not be retainedbecause they may-not measure up duetto anxiety, or factors from the home over which they have no control"?"'�'He felt the plan did not speak to the real problem.
Comments Mrs. Darrell
Mrs. Darrell expressed concern that the 82-83 school year was too soon to begin evelras a pilot because^of the lack of budget figures. She stated'x5that home school counselors and professionally skilled person's might be needed to help students being held back. Another concern was, whet-her or not the plan met the statuary requirements for prdmotion^rrd retention and the requirement for students to matriculate in school. She stated she felt the plan put the entire burden on students and on the family, and 'felt there, should be some accountability from the teacher. She suggested a monitoring on tracking system for teachers. She also suggested a lot of additional work before the plan is piloted, since even a pilot could influence a child's life while information is still being gathered. Other concerns included the need for contacting the parent rather than attempting to contact the parent; use of letter writing rather than personal contact; and communicating what "basic skills" means to a parent. She concluded by saying she wanted to commend the committee for their work, but felt additional work was still necessary.

Promption/Retention Rerport, cont'd Mrs. Brody also commended the Committee. She did question whether or not the results of the Early Prevention of School Failure were in; and whether or not the plan provided for sufficient use of counselors. Other questions concerned what would be done to improve an instructional program that is not working, and whether or not the plan helped the family deal with the prospect of retention.
Comments Mrs. Brody
Following more discussion with other staff members, Mr. Ginn stated that he would be glad to instruct the Committee to continue to revise, remodel, edit, or purify the plan, if that was the Board's instruction.
Comments Mr. Ginn
Mr. Renfro had signed to speak at this time. He stated that the plan was to be taken to the teachers for a vote on Thursday to see whether or not teachers favored the plan. He stated he was concerned that teachers on the commitee had asked for an extention but were denied and that he resented the fact. He also spoke that it was unfair to only ask teachers to be accountable. Rather, principals, the superintendent, and even the maintenance of the buildings all contributed to whether or not an environment fes conducive to education.
Comments Mr. Renfro
Kay Floyd, patron on the Promotion/Retention Committee stated that; she had high hopes that the policy could be implemented this year. She further stated that she was concerned that at present the schools don't do anything with children who are not performing to the ability that they have and that the interest of this policy was to help the childrenvwho need help soon enough to be worthwhile'; She asked that the plan be given a try and let the teachers look at it; let the administraotrs look at it; and listen to each other.

Adopt-A-School Program Report
Phil George gave a report on the Adopt-a-School Program. He commented that the responsibJLlity for coordinating the program was shared with the three directors. Highlights of the report were: the plan was started in the fall of 1979 and at the end of the first-year- there were 15 adoptions; that there has not been a formal evaluation of the program but that there was one informal afternoon meeting attended by all participants from the firms and schools involved. At tha-t meeting experiences were shared and ideas were exchanged. Mr. George continued by stating there are now 23 adoptions and that agreements between schools and adopting firms vary widely depending on the' riatur-e' of the school and the business. Generally, the aim is to get the business comunity and schools closer together. Another point is that some businesses adopt more than one school. Dunn's Dairy Queen is an example, working with Kaiser, Taft, and John Marshall schools.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT - CONT'D 4.
Adopt-A-School Program, cont'd
According to Mr. George, the Downtown Lions Club is thinking of adopting Harding Middle School and the local Sears store will soon be adopting King Fifth Year Center. Remarks were concluded with the recommendation that the program could stand more attention. In the past, the program has been only a part of his assignment, not of the highest priority. He suggested that the program be given to someone as a major, if not full time, responsibility. Mr. George also suggested that the program could benefit from better communications among the people involved, perhaps by use of a newsletter; that the program could benefit from developing a better informational brochure; that the program could benefit by listening to the public to see what their expectations of the schools are; and that a benefit could come from researching the literature to see how the programs are working in other areas.
Adopt-a School Report Cont'd
Following the presentation, Mrs. Hermes asked about the timeline for getting the entire system adopted. She expressed concern that only 23 schools had been adopted in 2^/2 years and expressed interest in priority and resources being committed. She also expressed concern about knowing the good benefits, the pitfalls, 4 and the evaluation of the program.
Earl Nichols, Chamber of Commerce representative, spoke of the Chamber's interest in the program and suggested they are ready to help accelerate it, recognizing the tremendous potential.
There was further discussion about the program being a part of the Volunteer Service Department, the priority of the program and the evaluation of the project to date. Mr. George was asked to respond to some points raised in the report prior to his leaving. 5.

Mrs. Hill explained that the clock would not be used for this portion as the principals wanted to be heard as a group with Mr. Dixson and Mr. Shehorne acting as spokesmen for the EXincipals listed below:
Bill Shehorne Bob Dixson Charles Lewis Wayion Ables Odetta Scobey Winfred Poemoceah John Butchee
Doy Burchel Bernice Miller J. B. Thompson Raymond Mitchell Eugene King Don Taylor
Mr. Shehorne spoke first, addressing the Board concerning a complaint that started on September 25, 1981. He read a letter that was sent to the Personnel Department at that time, by Lana Tyree, attorney, which challenged the method of placement of principals on the salary-schedule. The group of principals felt that their placement was discriminatory. Mr. Shehorne continued^that the current Board was not responsible for the situation, but felt they could correct the discrimination practice now in place.
The reason for the appearance was to petition the Board to grant the relief being sought by thยง-group. If the relief could not be granted, Mr. Shehorne asked that the Board give the group a full hearing at the next regularly scheduled or special Board meeting. This action would provide them with an opportunity to come before the Board with legal counsel and witnesses. * ~ The complaint by Mr. Shehorne basically dealt with salary step discrimination', based on^the fact that some employees reach maximum in their 9th year, some in their 10th year, some in their 11th year, and some in the 12th year, even though they are all on the same salary schedule. Mr. Shehorne stated that it had never been fully explained why the difference^in the placement existed. He further stated that the relief sought was correct placement on the 1979-80 salary schedule for the complainants, and full salary adjustment compensation for the administrators involved as though they had been correctly placed on the 1979-80 salary ^schedule. He said that 1979-80 was the first year the incorrect placement occurred.

* Mr. Bob Dixson presented various data sheets to the Board for review to show that in 1979-80 many administrators were placed improperly on the schedule.
Mr. Townes Watson, principal of King Fifth Year Center, said that 13 other principals not represented by the group could also be affected by any decision made by the Board. He stated further that some of the principals not represented were happy with the present schedule and did not believe the complaint was equitable. Following the presentations and discussion by various Board members, Mr. Ginn stated that there are four groups of principals; that the Board was dealing with only one group at this time. He also stated that he would like to work with Alice Strong-Anderson, Bob Dixson, and Bill Shehorne to prepare a schedule, beginning in 1979 so that the Board members can see what the principals are asking for. Another point he would check concerned whether or not funds from previous years are available to pay salary adjustments. Also, Mr. Ginn said that he would provide a report on possible next steps so that the Board could decide what they wanted to do. The report would be presented for discussion at another hearing.

Roll Call
SPECIAL BUSINESS Mr. Ginn asked the Board if the first discussion report on the agenda, Evaluation on Bilingual Title VII and Evaluation on Bilingual Curriculum, could be deleted and presented at a later date. He explained that the report was not complete at this time.
Special Business
Mrs. Hill agreed to the delay. The next item on the'agenda was a discussion of student particrpâ‚Źit.ion in athletics, band, pep club, and extra curricular activities to maintain a "C" average. Mr. Ginn introduced Betty Mason-Goodwin who began the discussion. She expressed appreciation to the Board for allowing this opportunity to share information and said that she had asked persons from the'field who are working directly with the youngsters to participate in order to provide the best and most helpful information. Persons here would be speaking from their souls, not a rehearsed presentation, she said. .
Mrs. Mason-Goodwin said that one of the things she wanted to call to the Board's attention was the fact that developmental reading is taught in the high-schools for students reading at 4.0 (grade level) or below. Should a student enrolled in this class, who is in the 10th grade, be given a D for his efforts if he masters the 5th grade material assigned; or should he be given a C or a B? She said she did not have an answer to the dilemma and that if teachers were asked, the answer would vary.

Mrs. Mason-Goodwin then introduced the panel and each one spoke as * follows: 1.
Comments Pam Wheeler
Pam Wheeler, Principal, John Marshall High School
Ms. Wheeler asked first if the discussion concerned a "C" average overall or a "C" average in each classroom. It was discussed that at this point that determination had not been made. Ms. Wheeler continued by stating that at John Marshall they were seeking students to become involved in extra curricular activities. Students who are involved have ownership in the school and this makes for happy students. She suggested that as she spoke to sponsors, their concern was to upgrade the scholastic requirements, not only for those involved in extra curricular activities, but for all students. Yet, she felt that the change should not be so drastic from what currently exists that it would turn the students off. Ms. Wheeler suggested changing from passing three (3) solids to a 2.0 overall as a first small step. Looking at a random sample of 80 to 100 students, she said that a 2.0 change would not affect that group drastically. Another comment included the fact that she did not want the pressure to pull good grades to keep students from enrolling in advance placement classes such as trig, or other classes needed as a requirement for college entrance.
4 *
Upon questioning from Board members, Mrs. Mason-Goodwih responded that "passing" meant a "D" grade or better; that math, social studies, science, and language arts were examples of solids; that health, physical education, music, newspaper and yearbook staff, and visual education would not apply towards eligibility; and that effective next year freshmen and sophomores would be required to take 6 classes, juniors, 5 classes, and seniors, 4 classes. Ms. Wheeler continued that she had problems with the notion of just saying "raise academic achievement". She stated she would like to talk about standards across the board; including such things as attendance, discipline, referrals to the office, and suspensions. She concluded by suggesting rather than change the requirements suddenly that some innovative things might be tried and a survey of the results made... .

Comments Don Piccolo

He stated thk-tMie was speaking primarily from the field of c athletics, and he felt that with the present emphasis afl over the country on improving the quality of education that raising^the participation requirements is needed. He stated that people, in general, cannot depend on athletics the rest of their lives. It is his belief, stemming from 20 years of being associated withathletic eligibility, that the few students who have been ineligible have accepted this as a challenge, and through more study have become eligible. Mr. Dewhirst could recall only one student who dropped out because of ineligibility. Raising the present three* hours of credit requirement to four hours is a reasonable step, he stated. Also, he commented that the "C" average was no magical figure and suggested that 'an overall "D" average might want to be looked at as a first step. Presently, he stated that a student can participate in athletics (or other activities) by achieving 3 D minuses and 3 ' F's for a grade point average of only 0.5. He closed by stating that he felt we were doing a disservice for a child by allowing them to participate in something if their grades were this low.
Don Piccolo, Science Teacher and Basketball Coach, Northeast Classen High School He stated that he firmly believes everyone is different; they have different physical abilities, and they have different mental abilities. He stated that he checks to see

what abilities a student should have and compares this to a test he gives to students in his class. He finds that some students are just not strong academically. He commented that there are 490 schools in the Oklahoma Secondary Activities Association and that they have guidelines for all schools to follow. This Association sets certain requirements for participation and as Athletic Director, he has to check to make sure the students meet those requirements, which is to pass 3 solids per semester. Mr. Piccolo feels that if Oklahoma City changes their requirements that we consider talking to the Activities Association and see that the other high schools in the state do the same thing.

Comments Don Piccolo Cont'd
He stated that all students should not be required to meet the same physical requirements because of different abilities and felt the same should apply to academics. He said that if a "C" were required and he were a coach with a participant who was a borderline "C" student, and not strong academically, that he would try to get him in either LD, Special Ed, or a class that's not just mainstreamed, where that kid is going to have a difficult time. He stated that he knew students who, if not for extra curricular activities are teetering one way or the other (quitting school). Mr. Piccolo concluded by saying he is for upgrading, but feels some thought needs to be given. 4
Eddie Evans/ Athletic Director, Northeast High School Mr. Evans reported that he had checked with various schools across the state to see ways the basic requirements of the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activity Association were being met. Here are the 3 ways he found:
a.
Most schools are following the state eligibility requirement without any"additional expectations from the athlete.
b.
Two districts are requiring gradechecks, one weekly and the other bimonthly. They require a "C" average or better in at least 3 solid courses. If an athlete does not meet the expectations, he is not to perform during that period of time. However, it was also indicated that the rule does not have severe teeth; it doesn't bite very deeply, so they are not actually enforcing it. However, the rule is there in writing.
-cl.- â– .In addition to state requirements, one district conducts a grade check every six weeks, every nine weeks, and then every semester. If a-student is not doing well academically, even though he satisfies state requirements, he isplaced in a questionable category. A committee is formed composed- of the sponsor of that activity, and the student'-s classroom teachers. His status is discussed to determine whether or not he has potential to do better. If the committee feels that a student can do better, then he's given a one to two week period to upgrade his performance in the classroom. If it is determined he can't do any better, then he continues to participate as long as he satisfies the minimum state requirements. Mr. Evans states he likes the concept of individualizing attention; which he feels has merit. He does not want to decrease student participation when competing with neighboring districts who may recruit Oklahoma City's athletes because of a grade of "C" average being imposed. He feels that it could result in a lower quality of athletic performance for the District. He stated that discussions with several other educators and coaches received mixed reactions but he didn't feel that extra curricular activities should be used to motivate learning in the classroom.

thinks that separate set of values can be learned by competing in extra curricular activities; that extra curricular activities can help promote sportsmanship, team concepts, getting along with people, social interactions, and provide recreational and physical fitness opportunities. He feels that we should not snatch away that opportunity because students don't excel in the classroom. Regarding attendance, he stated that the State's Association ask for 80% attendance, and that he might be in favor of 90% attendance, feeling that if a student is in the classroom that teacher should be able to do something with him. Concluding his statements, Mr. Evans responded to questions from the Board Members concerning attendance. Mrs. MasonGoodwin responded to questions about how attendance is reported.
Comments Marlene Schmidt
Comments Leon Edd

Marlene Schmidt, Counselor, Douglass High School
She expressed that her concern is for all students on the academic scale, including the student who is a D student, * who has a lot of trouble maintaining a C average and slips down to a D, quite often. These students don't fall into special ed and they don't fall into LD. They end up remaining in the regular classroom with a little notation on the bottom of their test form which says individualized instruction is recommended. These students are doing well to hang on to their D average and are thrilled to death when they do see a C on their grade card. A lot of these students, get their good strokes from the extra curricular activities, be it sports or band. They may be the poorest reader in the world, but they can play music and they are thrilled when they tell you about their music. Their self esteem is low because they don't do as well as their classmates in these other classes, but if they have a chorus class that they do well in and their choral teacher brags on them, or they have a basketball activity that they make their good points in, when watching their faces when they tell you about these things, you realize that is what is important to them at the time. Ms. Schmidt said she wondered if we are going to help by requiring a C average or " . if we- are going to drive away some students from scifool : /■ because of the feelings they have for other activities. ' Ms. Schmidt statedjshe counseled the better students to take more dif f icu.lt, p-lasse^~~siaeh■ as Algebra II, and that she may have trouble counseling a student into this class if he .knows he can't fall very low in that class and still be able to participate in any of the extra curricular activities. ’-X She concluded^ b^saying that she did not believe an overall "C" average will solve the. probiem; that she would like to see us take some time, to. get- together a good proposal that will work with the lowest,1- tehe-Jj.i^hest and hurt no one in between.

Leon Edd, Principal, Star-Spencer High School He stated that high school principals last fall brought up a concern to the Director of High Schools and Adult Education relating to the amount of time that high school students were spending out of class in both high school and other district-supported activities; that this was a problem. A handout titled Oklahoma Secondary Activities Association was shared with the Board. Highlighted in yellow is the title "Loss of School Time Policy". Two principals appeared before the Oklahoma Secondary Activities Association with this particular concern. The belief of principals is that attendance in class is important and that class time is often dealt a serious disservice. If a student is there and attentive, he or she will no doubt succeed. Dr. Edd said there is a fine balance that needs to be obtained in all of those things that go to make up a comprehensive high school.

He supports upgrading of all programs within the schools, particularly as it relates to the curriculum and gradepoint averages. At the same time, just like the frequency of trips or the conflict of activities against the school day, enforcement in monitoring of even gradepoint averages for all students for all activities can realistically be difficult at best. In considering raising gradepoint averages for participation in extra curricular activities, there are certain things that you will come to grips with: should the grade be established the semester prior to the activity, during the activity, each nine weeks period? A decision will affect not only athletic teams but squads, clubs, groups, and even aggregates. All of these are covered under the term extra curricular: martial arts club, model railroad clubs, team chapel and the like are all activities and organizations that high school students make themselves members in.

Comments Leon Edd Cont'd
Comments Darrell Palmer
He stated that there were 26 organizations at Northwest Classen High School; and that extra curricular activities exist because:
a. b. c.
they involve students; they aid in adolescence identity; they give students opportunity to be successful.
He said that one of the problems is getting student involvement now. With many students of limited ability, he asked if we should restrict them more and take them away from this identity, take away the chance for success, the chance to be identified to a certain degree with a certain organization.
Following Mr. Palmer's presentation, he answered questions from Mrs. Hill concerning the definition of a "C" average in his concept, and the number of students participating in extra curricular activites at Northwest Classen (50% approximately). Mr. Palmer'concluded by stating that in a lot of clubs^'and organizations, a 2.5 grade is already required by the head sponsors, or the club.'s own constitutions. 8.
Gary Cruzen, Assistant to the Director of High Schools and Adult- Education
He began by saytng that from what everyone has said none of us, as educators, want to see kids fail. We want to see them succeed no matter whether in extra curricular activities or in academics or whatever ventures they go into. He continued that setting staifSatdS tor^students to participate is fair, but there are rights ways to go about things. Mr. Cruzen stated that there are two areas of education:
’
a.
Academics, which covers the cognitive areas. This is where we try to strengthen students' reading, writing abilities, their mental processes, their thinking, etc.
b.
Affective domain, or all those extra curricular activities and other things which go along with the academics. This is where we strengthen our students by teaching them values, self-discipline, citizenship, sportsmanship, all those items which we could label as the‘•behavior processes.

Gary Cruzen - cont'd According to Mr. Cruzen, these two areas should go together but he doesn't know exactly what balance one should have upon the other in determining whether a student participates in activities or not. He felt schools should be more concerned with a student's attendance, participation, behavior, and values. He also felt that the activities should not be dependent upon academics and gradepoints for the opportunity to participate. Also, he stated that most of the organizations in the schools, athletic as well as nonathletic have already set particular standards or gradepoint averages in their constitutions that students must meet before they can participate in these organizations. Upon questioning, Mr. Cruzen responded that organizational constitutions are usually written by students and sponsors, a collective effort. He further cautioned that we need to be very cautious when we try to legislate a "C" average for so many individuals and to different school settings, environments, etc. If it were to be implemented per se, he felt that we would possibly be promoting grade giving to segments of the school population by certain people or pressure groups who might have a vested interest to see that a particular student did well.
He concluded by stating that he believed we should look at all the implications that this type of policy would have upon the young people in the schools because we certainly want to provide all of them the same opportunity and we want to encourage the participation and success of all students in all areas of academics and activities. Following the presentations, Mrs. Donwerth made the following statement: Comments Mrs. Donwerth
Madame President, I want to make a statement to clarify the record. I am very much in favor of extra curricular activities. I think they go hand in hand with academic education. The reason for the motion is not to punish the children. Regardless of what Los Angeles is doing nW or not, this idea of raising standards was discussed even at the time when we were talking about the CAT scores being low in our high schools. We have been talking about how to upgrade our education for some time. We have PRI, DMI, all these programs that are ..beiAg utilized in the lower grades, and we're almost ignoring our high school people. My concern is that Jit that particular age level, these students are young adultsandour'obli-g-ation is to prepare these youngsters to be productive citizens when they get out of high school. I felt a.t this time in their life they do have to set standards for themselves. I feel that if participating in extra curricular activities is important to these children it will motivate them enough to raise their gradepoint average. It is in no way designed to punish or to take away from the coaches^Qt anything like that. I don't want to do that. I felt like I needed to go on-record that I do support extra curricular programs, however, I a?so feel^jotfr first obligation to the children is education. ' ~ Afte'r' Mrs. Donwerth concluded her statement, Mrs. Darrell commented.
Comments Mrs. Darrell
I have a lot of things going through my mind at this point. Primarily, I can't get away from the statement that keeps hammering in my brain that equal and open access to a public education is first of all what we are all about. Secondly, I know of a child who is now at MIT doing very well academically. If that child's life depended on doing anything in any kind of athletic endeavor, the child would be a total social misfit. The same would be true if he depended upon any music appreciation or any kind of extra curricular activity. As Coach Piccolo said, all of us don't look alike, all of us don't act alike, all of us aren't motivated by the same thing. I'm sure that without any extra curricular activities in school, that a lot of kids would be more demotivated. We first of .all have to assess the value of extra curricular activities. Are they worth the effort for social development?
678
MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 1982 - CONT'D SPECIAL BUSINESS - CONT'D
I^don't want us to get off track in being concerned about standards. I recall in 1954 we decided that everybody should go to school and we got rid of all the vocational technical courses. Twenty years later, we are having to make a hefty commitment to vocational education because all of a sudden we are discovering we are running out of plumbers, bricklayers, and people who provide all the things that are important also. The disparity that I see is that for many of the children, the bright spot or hope for participating in activities, is in the public schools. There are some children who are fortunate enough to be able to maintain high academic standards and maintain a social life at a country club level. They can play tennis, they can swim, they can do all kinds of things just for leisure time activities. Basically, public education's responsibility is to educate the masses of children. I don't want to see us turn the public schools into a private school arena. I think that coaches historically have probably done the best job in motivating students. I think that there is a danger also in being too far out of the realm of what the state requirements are for other schools. I think that a C average requirement overall is pretty harsh. I'd much rather see flexibility. I don't care what average we set. Those teachers who work with extra curricular activities are going to do more to motivate kids to get their other academic assignments complete. I will really have a probleift with a blanket average in order to participate in extra curricular*-activities because my trade off then is, who are they really aiming to help? What is our basic premise for having extra curricular activities in the beginning? If it is to provide another dimension of education, then I think that many times the extra curricular activities entice a student to be motivated to excel later. It's not necessarily that academics motivate the student, it may be that football or basketball or whatever club is that is important, will be what keeps the children in school. I am really..concerned about the things that are pushing kids out of school. That concerns me more than anything else. I have a real problem of the overall gradepoint average that's beyond what's already a requirement at this point in time through the State Association.
Comments Mrs. Darrell Cont'd
After Mrs. Darrell's statements, Mrs. Donwerth inquired about the makeup of the panel, and whether or not teachers other than those with assignments as coaches or athletic directors were to be included. Mr. Hibbitts commented that very few student athletes receive college scholarships, but that all students do have to live in the adult world,vto attend college or to get in the job market. He stated that he feels that students need the most motivation a school can.g_i.v# including having them maintain a certain average to be able to participate in extra curricular activities. He suggested that maybe the Board should look at trying for a'1.5 average next year, then to a 2.0 the following year, and then graduate the requirement on up.
Comments Mr. Hibbitts
The discussion continued between Board members and the panel members. Following the discussion,\Mrs. Hill thanked the persons for coming on such short notice, saying that^with the information provided the Board might be a little bit more preparednext week to make a decision.
Mr. Ginn then introduced Dr. Wallace Smith to begin the report on Maintenance Department Operations.
I want to thank you for this opportunity. Dr. Stripling, Mr. Tafola, and I put this report together. We would like to give you a report on maintenanqe this evening; an update on some of the information you may not have. I'll give you a copy of this report so that you'll be able to refer to it later.. The basic premise is that the Maintenance Department this year has been operating under the belief that repair of existing facilities is a higher priority than any other service of the department. The relocation of annexes and portables, however, is always a number 1 priority in the summer time and the number of portables that we have to move will determine the percentage of work hours that we devote to that task. Our available work hours can be divided into four parts. Preventative Maintenance is defined as adjusting, lubricating, replacing parts, inspecting or performing minor maintenance which will reduce or eliminate the need for extensive repair or replacement.
Report on Maintenance Department Operations
679
MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 1982 - CONT'D
SPECIAL BUSINESS - CONT'D Report on Maintenance Cont'd
Preventative maintenance in the past was limited to inspection, lubrication, replacement of belts on unit ventilators, testing and treating boiler water, testing and repairing gas lines, and inspecting and repairing boilers. This year an extensive preventative maintenance program was implemented which added electrical motors, roofs, electrical panels, doors, door closers, locks, hot water heaters, plumbing fixtures, water coolers, asphalt play areas, fencing, playground equipment, and shrubs and yards to the list of facilities to be periodically inspected and repaired as necessary. Somebody will say we can't repair shrubs and yards. But we can inspect them and do whatever is necessary to bring them in line with our standards. Since July 1, 1982; 15,737 work hours have been expended by all crafts assigned preventative maintenance responsibility, much more than we would ever have in the past. The second category, Routine Maintenance, is the repair or replacement ofzfexisting facilities. The majority of the work requested by principals and others is for routine maintenance. Routine maintenance is necessary to prevent deterioration of our buildings and to repair existing equipment. Since July 1, we have expended 62,402 hours or 69.2% of our available hours on routine maintenance.
The^third category, Annex Moving, is an annual event and has been programmed by maintenance to interface with other summer work. We schedule the moving of portables; we have a schedule that has 47 steps on it. This summer we moved 11 portables, 9 portable classrooms and 2 portable toilet rooms and every annex that we move has the same procedure that must be followed. Weather and availability of police escorts are variables that interfere with the schedule relocations. This year we had to give the police two days notice. Often the demands of other projects will delay the work necessary to complete the relocation (of a portable building).' Normally, utilities necessary to make the portable useable are connected before the employees report to other projects that affect a greater number of students. This year, for example, we had Shields Heights to get ready before school started. We also had portables to move. We relocated the portables and hooked up the necessary electricity. Then we moved our work force to Shields Heights to complete that before school started. Later we went back and completed the relocation of our portables by adding the gas and water as necessary. The last category is Capital Improvement. Before 1982-83, capital improvements have had priorities assigned by a committe established for'that purpose.- All priority 1 projects were normally scheduled for completion during a fiscal year. Projects necessary to remove hazards or for instructional purposes were scheduled to be completed during the summer irrespective of,.-Ctremeed—to do preventative maintenance or routine maintenance repatir. We did capital improvements last summer too. Some- o_f the projects included work at Shields Heights, where we put a stair dnd a door in order to comply with the Fire Marshall's inspection of that building. We also added a partition in the kindergarten room at Shields-^Heights in order to provide spaces for two kindergartens. At Edwards School, we put lighting in the corridor. At Cleveland, the photography teacher wanted the pipe rails on the ceiling so that he could fasten lights, tp ii. One of our maintenance men came up with the idea of how to do itTand the teacher is most grateful. Our policy this year has been to install electric fans. We installed fans at Jefferson, Webster, Ridgeview, and Grant this summer. This year we also installed five P.A. systems in elementary buildings. The electronics department installed the P.A. systems. The electronics department normally does preventative maintenance on our audio-visual equipment. This year they did not do any preventative maintenance on audio-visual equipment because they expended all of their man hours on installing P.A. systems. This summer we remodeled a toilet for two handicapped children of Jefferson Middle School. During the summer of 1982, a minimal list of capital improvements was developed and in order to establish a preventative maintenance program^no other capital improvements were given consideration. As a result of the policies limiting capital improvements projects, the maintenance department was able to prepare heating equipment for cold weather. We have had fewer heating problems this year then we ever have had in the past.-' However, this policy has caused friction when the requester believed that the improvement was necessary and the request was not placed on the annual request.
I
680
MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF DECEMBER 13, 1982 - CONT'D
SPECIAL BUSINESS - CONT'D Iij order to prevent misunderstanding and conflict between the maintenance department and its clients, we are suggesting that change be made in scheduling capital improvements. First, we will still ask for requests on an annual basis, but near the end of the fiscal year so planning for the coming year can be more complete than it is in January. Our plans this year are to do the requesting in March. Second, a periodic review of new requests will be made by a subcommittee of the original capital improvement committee which will verify those that are necessary and were impossible to anticipate with the known data before the annual request deadline date. The total number of work hours utilized by any one craft for capital improvements will be limited to the 10% of the available work hours in order to avoid depleting the number of work hours necessary to continue the preventative maintenance and routine maintenance programs. Exceptions, of course, will have to be made for emergencies. Everyday requests from principals and others for emergency or routine maintenance provides a work load that cannot be completed as the requests are made. There are not enough employees, equipment, and materials available to answer each request as it arrives at the maintenance department. As a result, a backlog of work requests is established which varies from craft to craft as the workload, materials, and available manpower dictates. Floortile, for example, has a backlog of 22.2 weeks. If the two employees in this craft were to work only on the requests received before Nov. 30, it would take them until the middle of May, 1983 to complete. This large backlog is the result of not having any floortile men employed for several months. If vacancies occur in any craft or employees are absent for sickness or holidays, production / decreases. The absentee rate for maintenance department is 17% which includes holidays, sickness, and vacation. So a forty hour week is only 33 hours under those conditions. The smallest backlog is locks. The number of requests in this category is so small that 2 men in this craft can provide almost instant service when a work request is received. Consequently, Locks is spending its time doing preventative maintenance on door closures and panic locks. The crew is currently visiting every building to check those items on the outside doors. Work hours to reduce the backlog can be increased by paying overtime or by employing additional help either as regular employees or by contract. Without the employment of outside contractors this summer, a backlog in plumbing and steamfitting would be greater than it is now. This summer we hired Mr. White, our mechanical contractor. He replaced gas lines at 8 schools. He replaced rooftop heaters and air units on 4 demolibles, 2 per demolible. He replaced 34 space heaters in about 10 schools.- He replaced 4 wall furnaces at Carver. . georeplaced 9 vertical furnaces at Capital Hill and Edison. He replaced 4 horizontal furnaces at Douglass. He replaced 20 annex heaters, he replaced 11 hot water heaters. A'grand total of 99 jobs for a little less than $155,000. With that kind of money we can almost eliminate our backlog. • Raying overtime and buying additional help are expensive and cannot be provided for from our current building fund budget. Although over $100,000 wgfs added to the building fund after July, and $300,000 in expenditures'-were placed in the general fund, current projections of expenditures for'isaiarie^ indicate that if the current rate of spending is continued, the buildingfund will be depleted before June 30, 1983. This accelerated' spencji-fig rate is caused by increases in salaries, by purchasing replacement parts of better quality than we've had previously, by a larger demand for replacement parts because of our preventative maintenance program, and by a reduced number of vacancies in the maintenance department. In order to attract highly trained personnel and to retain qualified employees, substantial increases in salaries were made. Coupled with the low turnover, over $3 million will be required for salaries for the 163 maintenance employees. We only have $2,269,589 budgeted. In January this year,^ we had 144 people employed in the maintenance department. Last pay day we had 163. We don't have the turnover that we had in the past. Our salaries have been increased and we have hired BAT people. So, the salaries have jumped and the money needed for paying salaries is not there. In the past years, whenever we ran low on funds we did several things. We froze the personnel and didn't hire anybody and we stopped spending in our supply account. In 1980-81, we budgeted $500,000 for supplies, we froze it at $430,000. In 1981-82, we budgeted $530,000, we froze it at $513,0'00 which meant that sometime in May and June we couldn't buy supplies and had to wait until July. Therefore we got behind on some of our maintenance work. This

year, with six months to go we have spent $400,000 for supplies out * of $600,000 budgeted. That's two-thirds of our budget and we still have a half-year to go. The reason for that is that we are buying more supplies and we're buying a better quality. Another factor is equipment. We spent $100,000 on equipment in 1980-81, and $119,000 in 81-82. This year we're planning on spending $264,000 for equipment. We need to replace equipment that is eating us up in repairs. We need additional equipment so that we can transport maintenance personnel to jobs. Because of the lack of funds, we have a dilemma. We can reduce personnel, stop buying materials, and reduce the amount of work that we are doing. We can reduce salary costs to save several hundred thousand dollars by eliminating personnel. If we reduced 28 positions, that would save $250,000. We could stop the purchase of supplies and save $200,000 and we could stop the purchase of equipment and save $250,000. These steps gain us the $700,000 we need. However, we would be limping along for the balance of this year. Another solution might be to transfer various salary accounts (engineering department, the inspector, the safety coordinator, others) into the general fund and pay them out of the general fund. This would reduce the building fund expenditures by $150,000. We could purchase supplies from our 740.02 account and stop the purchase of equipment which would net $250,000 and then freeze employment of about 11 positions until $100,000 would be saved. If we did all those things, we could save $700,000.
Following Dr. Smith's presentation there was general discussion of the problems and suggestions concerning what actions should be taken. The concensus was that plan 2 of Dr. Smith's report should probably be implemented, except that no persons should be laid off; rather, that selective nonfilling of vacancies should occur. Mrs. Darrell had questions about the continuation of the plans to hire a purchasing agent for the Maintenance Department. She felt the funds for that salary might be better spent elsewhere. Dr. Smith and Dr. Stripling responded that the position would probably save more in the long run by freeing Supervisors from the purchasing function and as a means for expediting receipt of needed supplies. Comments Mr. Ginn
Mr. Ginn summarized the options and said that in a week from now a report would be presented on where the District is in relation to the general fund revenues and expenditures for this year. Also, as a >res-ult of tonight's discussion, a report containing specific item by item recommendations, complete with financing suggestions, would be given for the maintenance operations. Mr§. Hill asked about the other Board members feelings concerning a bond issue., indicating that Mr. Long and Mrs. Donwerth had expressed an interest and that she' concurred-.-—Mrs. Hermes said that she was not sure if the time was right for another bond issue. Mrs. Darrell said that if wa bond issue were proposed it should come from the people; if it met the peoples needs, it might be accepted. • - -«
Mr. Ginn responded that^'tftgr way to pass a bond issue is to do it from the grass roots; the bottom-Up;; approach. He said that if authorized, he would set a foundation for the bond j_ssne by talking with people; both those who are in favor and tifdae-who he knows were against past bond issues. If somewhere down the line he found the answer was "no, the community does not want a bond issue", then he would report that back'to the Board. 'If he finds the answer is "yes", then that would be his report. Mr. Ginn also suggested that a smaller bond requirement with a shortterm pay out might be more appropriate. Following discussion and comments from Board members, it was agreed that Mr'. Ginn would proceed to investigate a proposal for a bond issue, and would even have that charge if a new superintendent was hired. Mr. Ginn was to report back at some future time with his findings. * In concluding the meeting, Mrs. Hill reminded the Board that there are several other reports pending and suggested that the last Monday in January, the 31st, might be an appropriate time for additional reports to be heard.

Virginia Miller expressed her thanks that she had received a phone call asking for discussion on a proposed bond issue for 1-89, stating that asking for her involvement was a first. She continued by stating that before discussing the bond issue, there were some prerequisites as follows: Number One, Student Assignments. In theory, the Oklahoma City 1-89 Long Range Comprehensive Planning Committee was great; but in implementation, it was a dismal failure. From this Committee, the school system was supposed to adopt a student assignment plan which would replace the hated Finger plan, but the Committee failed to present an acceptable plan so we still have the Finger plan. With Congress passing an amendment whereby the courts cannot order students to be bused more than five miles, student assignments should be changed, because many of our students are assigned to schools which are farther than five miles. Number Two. Investigative Audit. There are just two many questionable and unanswered dealings in Oklahoma City School District 1-89 that evidently can be solved only through an investigative audit. So, until our school system adopts a different student assignment plan, and there is an investigative audit, I cannot support either a bond issue or the annual millage election coming up in April. Mrs. Miller also commented on her^,,recent visit with Dr. John Bell.
4.
Jerri e Reagan spoke of her concerns about parent rights, stating that parents could only accept 50% of the blame for poor education; that the School Board, teachers, administration, and union had to accept the other 50%; that she did not want her children spanked; and that there were both good and bad teachers and administrators in Oklahoma City.
LEGAL REPORT
.
.....
Mr. Bleakley reported as follows:
1.
Star School Litig_ation. In the Star School Litigation we've had pending in the Oklahoma County District Court the interpleader action in whikk^we. hope to provide for the allocation of the insurance proceeds-to theplaintiffs in that matter. There has subsequently been filed an'"aqtion in Federal court, seeking damages arising out 6f 'th~e .S-a-itfe action. At this point in time, we're not sure what effect that is going to have on .the overall proceedings, but the indications are it's going to further- complicate the process for dividing these proceeds from the insurance policy to the various claimants.
2.
Ben Hart Litigation. In the action filed by Dr. Ben Hart, the district filed a demur to Dr. Hart's petition. That demur has been sustained and Dr. Hart has 30 days in which to amend his petition.
3.
Aaron Vs I. S.-. D. #89. You may recall a vintage lawsuit that we have that was styled Aaron Vs Independent School District #89. Thisv1awsuit is approximately five to six years old. It relates to the issue of the deduction of substitute pay from teachers absent for sick leave during that period of time. It was originally brought as a class action and motion for certification of the class action was overruled in district

LEGAL REPORT - CONT'D court and an appeal had been filed to the Supreme Court; however, that appeal is now dead for failure to proceed with some of the requirements set forth by the Supreme Court in the Designation of the Record. The time to petition for a rehearing of that dismissal by the Supreme Court is passed, so with respect to the issue of certification of class in that lawsuit, the issue is now dead.
Attorney Bleakley1s Report Cont1d
Question by Mrs. Darrel1
Following the report, Mrs. Darrell asked if the last lawsuit filed in the Star case would result in a further delay in distribution of the proceeds to those families with injured children. Mr. Bleakley responded:
Attorney Bleakley1s Reply
There is that possibility. The action that was brought by the school district, the interpleader action, was an effort to bring all the parties together into one lawsuit. The proceeds from the insurance policy have been tendered to court. There are a number of issues that are present in that matter, one of which is whether or not the Tort Claims Act is constitutional. Once all those issues had been resolved, we were hopeful that through the interpleader action, the proceeds could be distributed. With the action in Federal court, we've now got some conflict of law issues resolved as to whether or not'the Federal case can go on with the interpleader action in district court. Hopefully, it won't extend that period. However, ii^has the potential for further complicating the procedural matters and delaying the distribution of the proceeds. Mrs..Darrel 1 stated that she wished Mr. Bleakley could speed the process, ask for the "mercy of the court" or something so that the money could.be distributed to those involved. Mrs. Hill stated that the Board concurs with that concern.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT - CONT'D Superi ntendent1s Report Cont'd Remarks Mr. Ginn
< Mr. Ginn responded that such a report would be forthcoming; that he also felt the need for a planned program.
REMARKS 1.
Mr. Ginn commented about the cutback of revenue from the State, reporting that the District is planning on a 6% decrease at this time and that this amounted to a loss of $1,800,000.00. He stated that some purchasing was being deferred and some personnel replacements are being held. The personnel being held do not include teaching positions or one-of-a-kind positions. The deferred purchasing would not be for supplies used by the teacher in the classroom. He said that the Board would be kept informed as other recommendations are made.
2.
Concerning the proposed bond issue, Mr. Ginn stated that after talking to various groups and individuals, he was encouraged by the enthusiasm; that although he didn't have a "yes" answer from all of them, he did not have a "no" answer either. He stated that he would proceed to meet with various people and that he hoped to have a final report by mid-January or by the ..end of January.
Following his comments, Mr. Long expressed that the Superintendent should be commended for his efforts to contact people, both pro and con, about the bond issue. PERSONNEL REPORT

Quinton Conner said that the regulation should be applicable to athletics and band, but not clubs such as the Math Club and Spanish Club. These clubs, he said, are to help students and do not take from school time. Mr. Conner, when responding to questions, stated that social clubs, to his knowledge, do not exist.

Discussion of Proposed "C" Requirement Policy - Cont'd
Rebecca Brett stated that the proposed plan was not fair when it included all extra curricular acitivites, since some students cannot achieve in academics. She also stated that in competitive activities, such as sports, band, cheerleading and pom pom squad, that it was proper to require a grade point average. Students in these activities represent the school and if they cannot achieve in every aspect, maybe they should .not be representatives.
3. \ Raylene Martin stated that she had a seventh grader at Rogers Middle School and that she has had three other sons graduate from Star Spencer at the top of their class. The older children did not have a problem with grades, but the " younger son does. However, the younger son belongs to the band and really enjoys it. Mrs. Martin stated her concern that students such as her son, who are not high achievers academically, be allowed to conti nue* wi th such things as band. She also asked how grades in L. D. classes would be counted; whether an A or B in an L. D. class would be the same as a D in a regular class, when meeting the proposed requirement. 4.
Steven Hall stated that he supported the motion; that poor expectations often cause people to work at a bare minimum and that poor work habits are often a carry-over from low ... requirements which are learned at an early age. Raising the requirements, according to Mr. Hall, will cause the students to get a positive message that say, "Kids, we want you to do better because we know'you can". Being a student first, then a cheerleader, athlete, or musician, should be the proper order. Mr. Hall concluded by stating that the recently approved homework pol ic-y-^jaxL^h_e_mo ney spent on increasing math and reading sco-r-es focusecT'o'n a goal that could be carried to its logical end by requiring students who represent our schcrol s-n extra-curricular acitivites to attain a higher academi c 1evel.

Proposed Promotion Plan Discussed

Following a ten (10) minute break, discussion began on consideration of the December 6, 1982 report and recommendations by the Promotion Plan Committee for a promotion plan for students, Kindergarten through Eighth Grade ' ( K-8). Mrs. Pat Watson, Chairperson of the Committee was asked to come to the microphone.
Mrs. Pat Watson reported on the clarification of some points questioned at the last meeting."-She said that more work had been done on the instructional program piece, but that she recommended the Committee work with the Curriculum Department to put more specifics in the program. She also stated that potential retainers """“would be given special treatment during the year, in an attempt to promote communication with the home.
Mrs. Watson-poi nted out other information previously giy&tfto the Board, inclduing: Definitions; memo from Bill Bleakley that stated-the District had the right to retain students; budget figures showing a projectecf"costof $357,000 for 3,000 students; and additional information concerning the appeals process.
Upon direction from Mr. Ginn, Mrs. Watson also pointed out that in-service traininc^ and workshops will -be needed to acquaint teachers about workfncj^i th retained students and their parents; working with students who' don ' t test wel 1 ; and general information about what the policy is. ;, —------Mrs. Watson responded to questions from Mrs. Darrell concerning budget figures and from Mr. Hibbits concerning the make-up of t'he second committee.
Mr. Long commented about teachers"al ready having the ability to find out where kids are in their learning skills and teaching them at that level. He suggested that we are off to a good start already. Mrs. Watson concurred, stating that the promotion plan is based on all the data, that a teacher had; not just something mechanical, like a test score.
Mr. Long concluded by stating that the plan should really give the teacher backing; and that he was in favor of it.

Mrs. Darrel asked for clarification on what they would be voting on tonight, and followed with comments about her concern that parents' rights were going to be taken away when deciding if a child was to be retained. She stated that she was not for "passing on", but had concerns for parent input.
Proposed Promotion Pl an Discussed Cont'd
Following other discussion and comments, Mrs. Darrell made the following motion, seconded by Mrs. Brody:
"I move that the District consider on a trial basis a promotion-retention plan, only if appropriate financing is available and without deleting the parents' right to a waiver."
Discussing the motion, Mrs. Donwerth stated that she felt that parental rights were not being taken away, since the policy had an appeal process. Mrs. Hermes stated that she saw no reason to implement a policy tha^; included a parent waiver, since that type of policy already existed. She suggested that the principal, teacher, and counselor had the expertise to recommend retention based on their observations of performance, test scores, homework and general behavior. She further suggested that a parent's waiver coul'd wipe out a whol e year of work. ■’
Mrs. Darrell raised questions about the committee's makeup, stating that there probably were no parents on the committee from Sooner Haven, Creston Hills, the Edwards Addit-Ton or from Kerr Village.
Mrs. Hill responded that there were two patrons on the Committee. Following the discussion, Mrs. Hill called for a vote on Mrs. Darrell's motion.

Bill; Shehorne began by stating that the salary schedule complaint begun 15 months before was one of the most frustrating experiences encountered in 18 years in the system. He continued that had this been a complaint filed by one of our classroom teachers or a classified person, the complaint would have been settled 12 months ago because they have a formal collective bargaining agreement. This clearly tells the building administrator that if we are to receive equal treatment we must have a formal agreement. In the 1978-79 school year, teachers went on strike in this system. The building administrators were given credit by the Superintendent for holding this system together. The Board Minutes of September 17, 1979, reflect this. Dr. Payzant at that time indicated that we did an outstanding job; that we were responsible for holding this system together. The thanks we received was a kick in the pants in the form of the 1979-80 salary package. My reward as an individual .was the loss of three years experience. Mr. Dixson's loss was two years. Mr. King, one year, and Ms. Baker, no loss. This complaint was filed last year. We feel the complaint could have been settled last year if we'd received the correct placement that some of our principals received as a result of the last Board meeting. /It has been brought to our attention that we have nothing in writing 5 that would indicate that an administrator would receive one step advance on the salary schedule for one year of satisfactory administrative experience. This has been a policy of mutual understanding between the school system and our employees group. -I have a letter from Dr. Bill Lillard, Central State University, that describes what took place during his tenure as Superintendent in Oklahoma City Public Schools. It indicates that principals were moved from one step to the next, bas-ed on one year of satisfactory experience. ' This indicates that maybe we do not have it in writing, but it has always been a policy in the Oklahoma City School System.
At this time, I'd like to respond to a statement made by Mr. Watson at the December 6, 1982 Board meeting. Mr. Watson led us to believe that he represented those individuals not named in this complaint. We've since contacted the majority of these individuals and again they have indicated they do not want to be represented ..by any group. However, that is not the real issue. The real issue is, were 13 administrators incorrectly placed, and if so, should we place them on their correct step in the 1979-80 schedule and adjust their salary for the three years of incorrect placement? Ithink the Board will agree that salary mi spl acement .d-M^exi st 'since all of our administrators listed in the complaint, who were still off schedule, haye^-beÂŁ.n_pj2operly placed on the 1 982-83 salary schedule s i Ti-c-e^o u r last Board meeting on December 6, 1 982. We re'aii'ze that we have the reserve fund that we can draw funds from, and I don't think that we're going to set a precedent if we pay principals o“ff.t. This has been done in other situations. We would like to ask that the Board rule in favor of the 13 complaints; that they be correctly placed on the 1979-80, 80-81, 81-82 salary schedule; and be ^iven all ..compensation due for those three years of incorrect placement. If we do not receive a positive ruling tonight, we would ask that the Board give us .a. full h ea ri ng, >wh i ch will provide us with the opportunity to have legal -counsel and the right to have witnesses and crossexamination. We would like to have this hearing scheduled at your earliest convenience. Following Mr. Shehorne's statement, Mrs. Hill asked about the relationship between steps on the schedule and years of service. Mr. Shehorne responded that they-had always been considered the same except for the 1979-80 year. He then explained how the schedule had been shortened.

* Other discussion centered around the use of reserve funds and the use of current year funds to pay contracts from prior years. Mr. Bleakley stated that if a contract existed from prior years, and unappropriated funds were available to pay that contract, that it could be paid. Otherwise, the principals would have to litigate the matter and establish that a contractual obligation did exist and that since funds weren't available it would go to a judgment levy.
Bob Dixson followed with his statement, using transparencies to illustrate how the steps had been reduced in years previous to 1979-80, with no step loss to administrators. He also pointed out that in 80-81 and 81-82, principals again advanced one step for a year of service.
Upon questioning from Mr. Hibbitts, Mr. Dixson stated that Raymond Mitchel1, Bernice Mi 11 er, Jessie Thompson and Winifred Poemoceah had been correctly placed on the salary schedule since the December 6 Board meeting. 3.
John Butchee continued reviewing the schedules presented to the Board, showing the amount of money lost for several of the 13 principals. He concl uded his presentation by stating that although each principal did get a raise each year, they all were not on the correct step. Had they been on the correct step, the salary raises would have been considerably more than was actually received.
4.
Townes Watson was the next speaker. He stated that he spoke only for himself at the December 6 meeting and began by saying that it should be understood that he represented only himself and what he considered to be the best interests of the school district. He continued that, "My intent this evening is two-fold. First, I request of this Board a denial of the principals' complaint for salary adjustments for 79-80. Second, I want to provide the Board with, some organizational insight that may assist you in your decision. The principals' organizations have always had about four objectives: they elect officers; organize salary committees; work with the Superintendent for salary allocation; and proceed to develop salaries under their own authority or autonomy. Dr. Payzant provided that autonomy in 79-80.
As you know, we were mandated a 12% salary increase that year. After this fixed figure, the organization pursued step reductions. We reduced steps - from 12 to 9. I believe that mathematical logic has to follow that everyone not on maximum had to be plugged into the salary schedule at steps below their prior step to find an appropriate place equal to, or greater than, the 12% mandate.. The results wepe bonuses for everyone but the principals on maxi mum. In the December 6 meeting, Mrs. Darrell and Mr. Hibbitts discovered this point. May I remind the Board that Mr. Dixson not once pointed out this fact in his complaint presentation,,..
In my view, there is a hidden agenda in this complaint. The intent is to establish a vehicle by which dissatisfied principals within the "organi zation can appeal to the Board. The intent is to have the Board referee in the internal affairs, of the organization on its differences. On December 6, Mr. Ginn pointed out in the Board meeting that there are presently four principal groups. I believe if you establish a precedent by approving this complaint, you may soon find that you will be in a lot of refereeing situations with the principals' organizations. The complaint here tonight doesn't deal with an error. It deals with re-negotiating a prior agreement between the Superintendent, the principals' organization and the Board. The argument

for one year of service being equal to one step on a schedule is simply the current thinking (of some principals) for this year. I recall the year when a differentiated salary schedule was presented whereas schools would have load factors. According to that schedule, the junior principal of the school district could have been assigned to the heaviest load factor school in the district, and received maximum salary. In turn, the senior principal in the school district could have been assigned to the lowest load factor school and received the bottom salary. I find it odd that years are suddenly so important at this time." Mr. Watson concluded by stating that salaries have tended to favor the groups that have been in charge; that the 82-83 teacher salary schedule has variances from $161 up to $824; and that one of the examples given by the principals provided for a step increase of $4,000, which he found hard to justify. Finally, he stated that in 79-80, the salary schedule was more than just. Again, as a principal relevant to the complaint, he stated, "I received the bonuses that Mrs. Darrell and Mr. Hibbitts pointed out. I received the 12% mandate, like all the other certified personnel in the school district, and I'm now one year from maximum because I, too, have been corrected on that step schedule as of December 6. If we remained on a 12-step schedule I would still have two years to go to be on maximum. This year alone, I received a $6,700 salary increase. Mrs. Anderson in Personnel has also informed me that I'll receive yet another step consideration this year for a grand total of some $7,700. So how could I stand before this Board and claim to you that you owe me yet an additional financial consideration? ' I contend the same applies to my colleagues with their complaint. Let me close with making this simple request. Please deny the complaint and favor.the kids and all the other personnel in this district."
Comments Mr. Ginn
Following Mr.
Watson's statement, Mr. Ginn presented his report.
"First, as I give my report, I want to say that as I speak of principals, I'm speaking of the T3 principals who have brought their request to the Board. When I speak of the Board, I'm speaking of this body and administration of the Superintendent's Office and the Personnel Office. There was at one time, and it was carried through for a number of years, a Statement Of Understanding generated and signed between the principals' organization and the Superintendent's Office. This agreement was executed and approved by the Board. The principals now, I think, hayc-^either directly or indirectly informed me that they do not regally consider that the Statement Of U_Qders tandi ng as being something that they ever really agreed t c> y ■The ’Tdmn-i strati on assumed that there was agreement that a step was not calculated as a year. This idea- is -not now being accepted by the principals. I don't believe from the conversations I've heard this evening, that they ever accepted the one step not being one year idea.
Since there is an obvious-1800 separation in the understandings of the two groups, it seems to me that- you're down to some basic factual information and my retfommendaidCns. First, the Board should keep in mind that it cannot, under statutes, pay prior year obligations which may exist, from current year's funds. If 'the Board chooses to approve what the principals have asked this evening, the only way that you can pay them is through court action; through a court ordered judgment. Although there are some amount of funds remaining in a reserve account from last year, there are not enough funds for all those other past years that the principals are claiming. Therefore, the only way that you could pay^them, if you find that they are due this money, is through a court-ordered judgment. You cannot have a friendly suit. It has to be a court action instigated by the principals. If the court holds in their favor, then the court can order that they be paid the-amounts they indicate is owed them."

"There is another means that the principals could use, and apparently some of them are thinking about using. That is to organize into a negotiating unit and negotiate with the Board for whatever discrepancies the principals may think exist. It could be negotiated in their salary package to try to upgrade and pick up the money due for the years that are alleged to be lost. The principals cannot go back and negotiate for 79-80, 81-82, and so forth and so on. But, whatever negotiations they might end up with could take those years into consideration. You have seen, but I will restate my recommendations to you. Number one, that principals' claims proposed for 79-80, 80-81, 81-82 fiscal years be denied and that the Board anticipate action by the principals as follows: A suit by the principals seeking a judgment for salary claims against the district. You may also anticipate that the principals will form a unit for formal negotiations. The second part of my recommendation is that if (the 13) principals file a suit for payment from prior years, other principals in the school district should also be informed that they should join in such a judgment suit so that they also could be paid, or would be paid, in case the principals prevail."
Pri nci pals Report for Salary Adjustment Discussed Co n t' d
Oti questioning from Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Donwerth, Mr. Ginn stated -there were 14 principals who had mistakes made on their salary ^for this year, and steps have been taken to correct the errors. Four of those involved are represented by the principals group. The mistakes were made at the time of calculating (current) ,â– salaries and have nothing to do with the 1979-80 calculations.
Upon questioning from Mr. Hibbitts concerning the correction of one of the salary schedules for this year, Mrs. Alice Anderson, Personnel Director, responded that it was not until the 1982-83 memorandum of understanding that one year of administrative experience would be equal to one step. She stated that some principals had been placed on the wrong step this year and that fourteen (14) were misplaced out of eighty-three (83) principals in the District.
Comments Mrs. Anderson
Responding to a question from Mrs. Donwerth, Mrs. Anderson stated that 1982-83 was the first year that "one step equals one year" was put in the Statement Of Understanding.
Mr- Hibbitts questioned what response had been given to the protest filed 1-5 months ago. Mr. Shehorne responded: .
Comments Mr. Hibbitts
"After the Personnel Department received a letter from Lana Tyree, we hadtwo meetings with the Personnel Director and the School Board attorney. At that time, we discussed tfti s- ,§ituation , reviewing much of the same information that we re-covered here tonight. As I understand it, Mrs. Tyree did request thatxif we did not have .a positive reaction from the School Board, th.^t she would like to have a formal hearing where we could call witnesses .and cross-examine. It was my understanding that she and Mr.-B4-ea.kley were working together on this. For wha^heason-^e^were denied the right to appear before the Board, or deified the hearing, I'm not sure. "
Following other discussions concerning steps and years on the Comments schedule, Mr. Dixson read from Board Policy GCBA/GDBA, adopted Mr. Dixson March 3, 1980. He stated that according to the policy, "Placement on the respective salary schedule shall be based on relevant previous experience, training and/or educational background. The Superintendent or his/her designee shall determine the amount of experience to be credited for placement on the appropriate salary schedule". He stated that the policy was abandoned in 1979-80.
