LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS

Attorney's Report

ATTORNEY'S IEPORT

The Board's attorney, Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported on current legal matters as follows:

OESCO vs. 1-89 "Today we filed a general entry of appearance on behalf of the School District and the School Board in District Court in the action that Oklahoma Electrical Supply Company filed last month. We'll have 20 days from today to file the District's and the Board's answer in the case. Prior to filing that answer I intend to meet and confer with the attorney for the co-defendant engineer in the case. After the answers are filed the case will be at issue, but I anticipate that there will be a period of discovery where some depositions will be taken, interrogatories exchanged--that sort of thing. Based upon the District Court's current caseload, I don't anticipate the case would reach trial before six months.

Jazzar vs. 1-89 "A second Civil Rights case was filed against the District last month concerning the suspension of a student at Northwest Classen; that is the Jazzar case. The suit is filed in Federal Court in Oklahoma City. It's pending before Judge Ally. The student in that case has filed an application for a preliminary injunction, seeking to be reinstated as a student at Northwest pending the final outcome of the case. Judge Ally has set that application for preliminary injunction at 5 p.m. on January 7, which is this Wednesday. The District's liability carrier has appointed counsel to defend the case, and they are defending the case, but there is a question on the District's coverage that has been raised by the carrier. For that reason I plan on attending the hearing on the 7th, although counsel for the carrier will be taking the lead for the purpose of protecting the interests of the District and its employees."

Board Member Comments Mrs. Floyd thanked Fine Arts Department staff for the comprehensive list of school Christmas programs provided to the Board. She mentioned programs presented by Hoover 5/6 School and the SAGE program staff.

COMMENTS MRS. FLOYD

Mrs. Hermes made a statement in defense of the Board's recent action concerning the superintendent's contract and Resolution to employees. She said she had received no negative communications concerning raises for teachers, classified personnel, or the superintendent. She said she supported the Resolution to employees because she wanted to publicly thank and congratulate district personnel for their hard work.

COMMENTS MRS. HERMES

Dr. Heath thanked staff, students, community groups and others for helping make the first half of the school year successful; and gave special recognition and thanks to Mrs. Betty Hill, Board President, for her leadership of the Board.

COMMENTS DR. HEATH

Mr. Prigmore explained he had voted in support of a pay raise for the superintendent because he felt the position called for a much higher salary; and that he voted against the Resolution to district employees because he felt teachers and other staff deserved salary increases rather than a resolution.

COMMENTS MR. PRIGMORE

Mr. Williams stated he would continue to "vote his conscience" and represent the children of the district.

COMMENTS MR. WILLIAMS

Mrs. Donwerth remarked on the statutory requirement for the Board to evaluate the superintendent.

LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS ATTORNEY'S REPORT

Attorney's Report

Mr. Day reported as follows:

AFSA (Representation Dispute)

"On Tuesday, January 13, 1987 the American Federation of School Administrators filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Oklahoma County against our superintendent, the Board of Education and the Oklahoma City Prinicpals Association in an effort to prevent the principals from ratifying the proposed agreement between the OCPA and the Board of Education. The suit seeks a declaratory judgment determining the propriety of the Board's negotiations and agreement with the Oklahoma City Principals organization since the OCPA has not been recognized through an official election as the exclusive bargaining agent for principals and assistant principals in the school district.

"Last Tuesday the court held the hearing on the AFSA's application for an injunction to prevent the principals' association from ratifying the agreement on Wednesday. Dr. Stell er, Mr. Shepard, and I appeared before Judge Cook to present argument on behalf of the district and also representatives from the OCPA and Vern Moore were present. Essentially what happened was the attorneys were asked by the court to state their various positions and there was some interaction between the court and the attorneys. Before any evidence was produced, the AFSA withdrew their application for an injunction; thus, an injunction was no longer at issue. As I understand it, the next day the principals did ratify the agreement. "The declaratory judgment aspect of the suit is still pending because the AFSA is alleging that if they are successful in the election they intend to pursue becoming the exclusive bargaining agent for the principals of the district; that this contract will interfere with their rights to negotiation. We've analyzed the case and do not feel that any of the AFSA's rights have been or will be violated. We will be preparing and filing appropriate pleadings in response to that case."

In-House Legal Advisor

Mr. Day recommended changes to the structure of the legal services provided to the school district. He recommended that the District advertise for and employ an "in-house" attorney to handle part of the District's legal matters. Benefits to the District would include 1) immediate availability for legal service; 2) the in-house attorney would be paid on a salary rather than a fee basis; 3) the in-house attorney would be responsible for reviewing and drafting school district policies, regulations, contracts, etc; and 3) could represent the administration in termination and other hearings. Under the proposal, Mr. Day would, continue to serve as the Board's general counsel, handle all lawsuits and litigation for the district, serve as legal advisor to the in-house attorney, serve as the Board's hearing officer at termination hearings and student suspension hearings; provide specialized legal opinions when requested by the Board; and be available to attend the first portion of the first Board meeting each month to provide a legal report and be available for executive sessions if necessary.

Following Mr. Day's recommendations, Dr. Stell er reviewed the proposed job descri ption.

R. #177 APPROVAL TO EMPLOY IN-HOUSE ATTORNEY

Mrs. Hermes made the motion, seconded by Dr. Heath, for approval of the attorney's (general counsel's) recommendation that the District employ an "in-house" attorney to handle a portion of the School District's legal matters. On roll call the votes were as follows: Mrs. Floyd, aye; Mrs. Hermes, aye; Dr. Heath, aye; Mrs. Donwerth, aye; Mrs. Hill, aye. All aye. Mrs. Hill declared the motion carried.

R. #178 APPROVAL OF JOB DESCRIPTION FOR IN-HOUSE ATTORNEY

Mrs. Donwerth made the motion, seconded by Mrs. Floyd, to approve the superintendent's recommendation on the job description for the "in-house" attorney and procedures for filling the position. On roll call the votes were as follows: Mrs. Floyd, aye; Mrs. Hermes, aye; Dr. Heath, aye; Mrs. Donwerth, aye; Mrs. Hill, aye. All aye. Mrs. Hill declared the motion carried.

ATTORNEY'S REPORT

Attorney's Report

The Board's attorney, Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported on a current legal matter as follows: Sunnyside School Property "You may recall that the Sunnyside School property has not been used as a school for several years, and that Mrs. Viola Askew owns the tract of land next to that school building. About three years ago the District entered into a joint agreement with Mrs. Askew in an effort to sell the two tracts together in hopes of acquiring a better price than if they were sold separately. Mr. Shepard attempted in good faith to sell the tracts, but his efforts did not prove fruitful. A short time ago, the District leased the school building to a church and is receiving a small amount of money each month for rent.

"Last month we received notice that Mrs. Askew has now sued the School District and the church, claiming that she owns the land on which the school building sits. Apparently, there was a restrictive covenant in the deed of the property that Mrs. Askew gave to the District, stating that if it is not used for school purposes then it will revert back to the owner. In the suit, she's^ seeking a declaration by the court that she does own the property; s*he's seeking possession of the property; and she's seeking the fair value of the rents from the time of filing suit.

LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS Attorney's Report (Continued)

"The answer date for the District is February 9, 1987, and we will prepare and file an appropriate pleading on or before that date. In the meantime, Mr. Shepard is gathering some of the old deeds and documents concerning the tract, and he's going to provide those to me. After I have the chance to review those, I'll provide you with my further opinions on the merits of this case." Treasurer's Report

Retirement/Resignation Incentive Plans, 1986-87

THE ONE-TIME 1986-87 VOLUNTARY RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM The program being proposed is for all permanent full-time employees who meet the criteria established below:

Eligible employees must have a combined total of 80 or more years of experience and age and have ten years or more of full-time employment in the district.

Eligible employees will receive a bonus of fifteen percent of their current base contract salary if they submit a signed resignation card before 4:30 p.m., on March 20, 1987 to the Executive Director of Personnel Services.

Employees exercising this One-Time Voluntary Retirement Incentive offer are fully eligible for other severance and sick leave reimbursement provisions of the negotiated agreement. Qualifying retiring employees may continue to participate in the district's group health plan until they reach their 65th birthday by paying the semi-annual premium directly to the Board of Education on or before July 1 and January 1 of each year.

Group life insurance is convertible by the retiring employee to individual coverage subject to the policy terms without further proof of insurability. The retiring employee will be responsible for paying all premiums for the converted insurance coverage.

Persons for whom the bonus is approved are ineligible for future employment except on a substitute or consultative basis. An exception may be made if Superintendent determines that the individual possesses unique skills not otherwise available to the District. In the case of an exception made by the Superintendent, the retirement bonus must be repaid to the district by the retiree before reemployment as a full-time employee. An application for a retirement bonus submitted to the Executive Director of Personnel Services is a binding agreement to retire at the conclusion of the employee's 1987 contract year or before June 30, 1987. Exceptions may be considered if circumstances warrant them. Permanent employees are those who are hired for an ongoing assignment in a budgeted position that offers a reasonable expectation for continuous employment.

A full-time employee is defined as an employee who fills a position scheduled for six or more work hours per work day, | | I |

Contract means the negotiated agreement, or statement of understanding to which an employee is obligated. Contract year means the pre-arranged date during 1986-87 on which an employee

Hearing

Ms. Georgia Iannello, President, OCFT, thanked the Board for closing schools during the bad weather. Concerning proposed revisions to Policy BDE, she pointed out several areas the Union believed were in violation of the negotiated agreement, including certain timelines, the respondent at Level III, and others.

HEARING

Discussion of Policy BDE In response to Ms. Iannello's remarks, Mr. Day stated after his meeting with Mr. DeGuisti, the policy was revised, and it addresses some of the union's concerns. He said footnote number 3 was typed in error and should read, 3jn |_evei m Grievance Hearings, the Level II hearing officer may not participate as the respondent or represent the respondent." He said it was his opinion that the timelines as stated in the revised policy do not conflict with the collective bargaining agreement; that the timelines set forth apply equally and fairly in the proceeding; that the negotiated agreement is silent with respect to requiring the submission of witness lists or exhibit lists, etc.

Following further discussion, Mrs. Hill asked Mr. Day to review Ms. Iannello's concerns and respond to the Board.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF FEBRUARY 2, 1987

SUPERINTENDENTâ€™S REPORT

Truman, Lincoln School Closings (Continued) C.

Reassign students living in Woodson Zone 485; Dunbar Zone 190; Page Zone 350; Culbertson Zones 175 G-Z; Truman Zones 420 A-E, F, G, J, K, M-P; and Lincoln Zones 300 A, B, D, E, G-J, N, R, V from Truman Elementary School to Dunbar.

Reassign students living in Lincoln Zones 300 C, F, K, L, M, 0, P, Q, S, T, U, W, X, Y, Z, grades K-4 from Lincoln Elementary School to Wilson Elementary School.

Reassign students living in Woodson Zone 485; Dunbar Zone 190; Page Zone 350; Culbertson Zones 175 G-Z; Truman Zones 420 A-E, F-G, J, K, M-P; Lincoln Zones 300 A, B, D, E, G-J, N, R, and V, grades K-4 from Lincoln Elementary School to Dunbar.

Dr. Stell er stated that the school closings were recommended because of the District's budget situation and pending financial problems. Mrs. Sylvia Lonian, Director of Elementary Schools, Division A, reported that the Truman School building has three structural defects that violate the Oklahoma City building safety standards: 1) water seepage through the mortar of one wall could eventually cause the wall to crumble; 2) classrooms located below ground level are in violation of the City fire and safety code regulations; 3) the cafeteria is below the ground level, in violation of the City safety code. She said the majority of Truman students are recommended to be transferred to the Dunbar building, 1432 N. E. 7th Street, beginning with the 1987-88 school year.

Pointing out the positive aspects of the relocation, Mrs. Lonian said the Dunbar building is a better, larger facility. The school has a full-size gymnasium; equipped, fenced playground area; landscaped grounds; is located in the JFK renewal area; and will maintain the neighborhood school concept for both Truman and Dunbar students. She also commented on meetings held with parents, staff, and others in the community concerning the recommended closing and relocation.

Ms. Maridyth McBee, Senior Research Associate, gave brief overviews of the proposed reassignments for both Truman and Lincoln students.

Mr. John Butchee, Director of Elementary Schools, Division B, reported on meetings held with Lincoln staff, parents, and community regarding closing Lincoln School. He said the parents were most concerned about where their children would be reassigned and if transportation would be provided. He said it was recommended that not all Lincoln students be reassigned to Dunbar because that facility would not accomodate all students from both Lincoln and Truman. He said staff recommended that transportation be provided to students in the Lincoln area who are proposed to be reassigned to Wilson. Hearings 1)

Rebecca Smith, Truman School secretary and parent, stated the Truman parents understood the necessity to close the school. She said transportation would be a problem for many parents. She asked for assistance from the District concerning crossing guards and flashing lights at hazardous intersections; a reaffirmation of the safety of the Dunbar building with respect to asbestos; requests for adequate lighting, ceiling fans, an intercom system, refrigerated drinking fountain, adequate media center and computer labs, and other.

Paul Hendrick, patron, spoke concerning the cost of reopening of the Dunbar building.

Truman, Lincoln School Closings

Hearings (Continued)

Dr. Steller responded to Mr. Hendrick's and Ms. Smith's concerns. He said both schools meet the closing criteria contained in policy FL, Retirement of Facilities; that parents will have an opportunity to visit the Dunbar facility before the end of the 1986-87 school year; that parents will receive assistance in finding safe routes to school; and that the District will work with the City of Oklahoma City to try to provide crossing guards and flashing lights. In other remarks from members of the Board, Mrs. Hermes asked that staff assure parents that the computers currently at Truman would be moved to Dunbar; Dr. Heath said he believed the Dunbar neighborhood would probably continue to deteriorate; and Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Donwerth said it was not the intent of the current Board to make frequent reassignments of students.

Ms. Primer Lee Barr, Teacher, Lincoln School, said she supported the relocation to Dunbar and Wilson because of safety considerations, the isolation of Lincoln School, and the better facilites they would be moving to.

Mr. Charles Wesley Morgan, Lincoln School Patron, expressed his approval of the reopening of Dunbar School.

Mrs. Hermes remarked that with the closing of Truman and Lincoln, Wilson School will become fully integrated. Mrs. 5 as aye; aye;

SPECIAL BUSINESS

Summarized opening statements are as follows: 1

OPENING STATEMENT BY COMPLAINANT

Mr. DeGuisti stated that on December 2, 1986 at a Level III Grievance Hearing, a witness (Vern Moore) was allowed to testify even though he had not testified at the Level II hearing, thus violating policy BDE, as well as past practice. OPENING STATEMENT BY RESPONDENT

Mr. Moore stated the hearing officer's decision to allow testimony from the Respondent at Level II was a reaffirmation of the Board's intent to seek the truth, and the testimony presented in no way altered the decision of the hearing officer. He said the purpose of his testimony was to clarify three issues which were discussed at Level II. Mrs. Hermes stated that a ruling was already made at the Level III Grievance Hearing on the objection raised by Mr. DeGuisti. She moved that the complaint be denied. There being no second, Mrs. Hill declared the motion failed for lack of a second.

PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR APPELLANT

Witness No. 1 - Jim Huff Direct.Questioning: Mr. Huff testified that in his experience as a grievance representative in the District for approximately ten years, since the existence of Policy BDE, evidence not introduced at Level II has not been allowed at Level III. He said allowing introduction of new evidence at Level III puts the grievant at a severe disadvantage.

Cross-Examination: Mr. Huff said the purpose of the language in current Policy BDE was to prevent the Level III hearing from becoming a "new" hearing; that Mr. Moore's testimony at Level III was an "addition" to what was heard at Level II.

There was no redirect. Mr. DeGuisti read aloud Union Exhibit No. 3, a statement from Michael Barlow, as follows: "To the hearing officer, Level II grievance. I am not able to attend today's hearing, but if I were my testimony would be as follows: In my thirteen years as a grievance representative for the union, as a hearing officer for the Oklahoma City Public School District, and as a grievance representative for administration, no evidence, which includes witnesses to my knowledge, was allowed at a Level III hearing if it was not introduced at the Level II. This is how the Board policy has always been applied. Past practice has also established this as the acceptable rule for conducting hearings." Mr. Moore objected to a portion of Mr. Barlow's statement. He said the fact that Mr. Barlow did not recall new witnesses being called at Level III did not mean it had not occurred. Witness No. 2 - Tommie Daniel Direct Questioning: Mr. Daniel said he did not believe Mr. Moore's testimony helped his case; that he could have also produced new witnesses; that his representative, Mr. O'Dens, was attempting to follow the same procedure when he was allowed to call a new witness (Aaron Harrell). He said language in Policy BDE prohibiting the introduction of new "evidence" at Level III included testimony of new witnesses. Cross-Examination: Mr. Daniel agreed that Policy BDE gave the hearing officer authority to make decisions relative to procedural and evidentiary matters. He said Mr. Day did not follow procedures at the Level III grievance hearing.

Redirect: Mr. Baniel testified it was his opinion that a witness is a form of evidence. He said a witness was allowed to testify at Level III who did not testify at Level II.

MINUTES OF MEETING OF MARCH 2, 1987

I SPECIAL BUSINESS LEVEL III COMPLAINT HEARING FOR j TOMMIE DANIEL i (Continued)

SPECIAL BUSINESS

PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR APPELLANT

Witness No. 3 - Vern Moore Direct Questioning: Mr. Moore testified that he was not called at the Level II grievance hearing; was allowed to testify at the Level III for points of clarification over Mr. O'Dens' objection. Concerning the definition of "evidence", he said depending on the circumstances a witness could or could not be considered "evidence". He stated it was the intent and spirit of Policy BDE to not allow a witness to testify at Level III who had not testified at Level II; that the language was designed to maintain controls from Level II to Level III. He said there are times when a hearing officer must interpret policy language.

Cross-Examination: Mr. Moore testified that he was allowed to present limited testimony at the Level III Grievance Hearing in order to clarify testimony of previous witnesses, and that the hearing officer had the right to allow it for the points of clarification. He said the areas about which he was allowed to testify had been raised at Level II. There was no redirect.

Mr. Moore responded to questions from members of the Board. PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR RESPONDENT Mr. Moore read his exhibit as follows:

"Respondent's Exhibit No. 1. This is a transcript of a statement by the Level II Hearing Officer, Jim Savage, at the Level II Complaint Hearing held January 14, 1987 filed by Tom Daniel: 'For the record, I would like to comment on my involvement in Level III hearings. I can state for a fact that I have called people as witnesses at Level III when I was acting as a respondent that were not at Level II. I have also acted and called to the stand, in one specific case by Mr. Huff, when I was not a witness at Level II, that I had been the hearing officer. So I know those instances, for a fact, have happened because I remember Jim referred to me as a hostile witness and did not ask any further questions at the time. But I do remember, specifically, that I have been called. We have called people at Level III to verify, older, more experienced persons on the negotiating team, language in the contract. We have done that on occasion. I can specifically say that I and you all have, it seems to me, back before we had this language in the policy, have done that.' That's signed (by) Jim Savage, and it's notarized 12th day of February." Mr. DeGiusti stated that presenting occurred prior to the existence of to prevent new evidence from being responded that there had been such

new witnesses/evidence at Level III had Policy BDE; that the policy was designed presented at Level III. Mr. Moore occurrences since the policy was adopted.

Mr. DeGiusti stated Board policy was clearly violated because witness testimony is evidence. He said the policy language did not grant the hearing officer at Level III the option to admit evidence offered at Level II. He denied that by calling Mr. Harrell the grievant's representative was condoning the hearing officer's ruling to allow Mr. Moore's testimony.

Attorney's Report

The Board's attorney, Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported on a current legal matter as follows:

Brenda Curry vs. 1-89

"Following the last regular school board meeting, the Clerk of the Board was served with a new lawsuit filed by Brenda Curry, who was previously employed by the School District as a custodian at Van Buren School. In this lawsuit, Mrs. Curry is alleging that she was injured on her job at Van Buren; that she filed a Workers' Compensation claim; and that thereafter she was terminated by the Board of Education in retaliation for her filing the Workers' Compensation claim, contrary to state law. The information that I have received to date on the case indicates that the facts are somewhat different than those alleged.

ATTORNEY'S REPORT (Cont'cl)

"In the lawsuit, Mrs. Curry is seeking to recover in excess of $50,000 for lost wages and emotional distress. Mr. Shepard has referred the case to the district's insurance carrier for defense. However, this is one of those cases where back salary is being sought, so coverage may not be applicable. The answer date is March 15, and we will follow the case to make sure that an appropriate pleading is filed on or before that date to protect the interest of the school district."

Treasurer's Report

Mr. Donald Ladd, Treasurer, was not present. Mrs. Hill announced he would be attending the next meeting to answer questions from Board members. (A copy of the written report is on file in compliance with State statutes in the office of the clerk.) SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

EDGEMERE SCHOOL CLOSING

Edgemere School Closing

Dr. Stell er made introductory remarks concerning the financial crisis facing the State of Oklahoma, which is impacting the School District. His remarks included information on federal funding cuts, state budget reductions, measures taken to reduce the district's budgets in 1985-86 and in 1986-87, the Governor's school funding proposal, and other. He said at this date it is unknown what the funding reduction will be for next year; the district is planning for a $6 million reduction. He encouraged suggestions from the community on where budget reductions can be made (a "hotline" will be implemented for this purpose); and described some of the limitations on action the district can take to reduce expenditures. Dr. Stell er made the following recommendation:

Recommend closing the following school effective the end of the 1986-87 school year and reassigning students for the 1987-88 school year as follows:

(a)

Close Edgemere Elementary School, 3200 North Walker, and reassign students living in Edgemere Zones 195 A-Q, S, and T, and 980 A and B, grades K-4, to Horace Mann Elementary School; reassign students living in Edgemere Zones 195 U-Y, grades K-4, to Wilson Elementary School.

Dr. Stell er stated the recommendation was being made in compliance with the emergency clause of Policy FL (Retirement of Facilities) due to financial and/or other emergency conditions. He announced that after this meeting it would be his intention not to initiate any more school closings until more information is available, particularly about number of employees opting for retitrement/resignation bonuses and other information which may be received from the state.

Staff Report: Mrs. Sylvia Lonian, Director of Elementary Schools, Division A, reported that Edgemere Elementary School was identified for closing because of renovation cost, building capacity, space in nearby schools, and annual net savings. She reviewed meetings held with school staff and patrons. Mr. Dick Samples discussed the renovation/ replacement ratio; Mr. John Fink discussed building capacity; Ms. Maridyth McBee discussed capacity in nearby schools; Dr. Jesse Lindley discussed annual net savings; and Mr. Mike Brown reported on transportation costs.

Mrs. Lonian stated staff will work with the City to try to provide a crossing guard for N. W. 23rd Street. Bilingual services will be provided, and-also Chapter I, if Horace Mann and Wilson qualify. Activity funds will be divided between the two receiving schools.

CLOSING Continued)

Edgemere School Closing (Continued) Computers will be assigned to Horace Mann (Wilson School has sufficient computers). A study is in progress to determine if Prime Time after-school care can be provided. Breakfast will be provided at Horace Mann if there is sufficient demand. (Wilson has a breakfast program.) Transportation will be provided for those students who qualify. Dr. Stell er made the following statement concerning use of the Edgemere property: "By taking this action in no way are we suggesting abandonment of the property for school purposes. When conditions are right we. may again use it as an educational facility, or reopen it as a school, or use it for other functions."

Hearings: Mr. Frank Wall, representing Edgemere School patrons, appealed to the Board to delay their decision. Mr. Wall described donations to Edgemere made by the parent organization; said he felt parents had received deficient information from administration concerning identification of Edgemere for closing; questioned the validity of the Locke Wright Foster report; asked if factors such as alumni loyalty, functional use of the building, maintenance, and demographic studies had been considered in the'decision to close the school; and other. .......................... "

Responding to some of Mr. Wall's concerns, Mrs. Hermes said the same criteria was used for all schools identified for closing; said safety is a concern; and that Horace Mann and Wilson are the schools closest to Edgemere. Dr. Stell er, also responding to Mr. Wall, said a long range plan is a worthy idea, and currently in progress; also, that demographic studies have been done. With regard to a three year moratorium on school closings connected with the Student Reassignment Plan, he said Board policy indicates school closings will be considered only every three years under normal conditions. Motion/Second: Mrs. Floyd made the motion, seconded by Mrs. Hermes, for approval of item 1 (a) as stated herein.

Discussion: Dr. Heath commented that other urban districts are facing similar crises. Mr. Prigmore said the procedure being used to enact school closings should be reviewed to ensure two-way communication; suggested that the decision should be delayed. Mr. Williams stated the schools are for the children, and that parents should unite to support the schools. Mrs. Hill said that thanks to the parents, the staff report on Edgemere was the most complete the Board had received on a school closing recommendation. Vote: On roll call for item 1 (a) the votes were as follows: Mrs. Floyd, aye; Mr. Prigmore, no; Mrs. Hermes, aye; Dr. Heath, no; Mr. Williams, no; Mrs. Donwerth, aye; Mrs. Hill, aye. Four aye, three no. Mrs. Hill declared the motion carried.

HEARINGS

IEARINGS

The following persons addressed the Board:

Ms. Janis Scott, Urban League, stated her agency understood the economic crisis of the District, but had several concerns, including closing schools before three years had elapsed (as provided for in Board policy); the affect of school closings on minority personnel; a "de-emphasis" on the student interaction plan; and lack of input by the Equity Committee in the school closing issue. Dr. Steller responded that the Student Interaction Plan was continuing and should not be affected by any school closings; staff reassignments will be made in accordance with affirmative action guidelines; and that the Equity Committee's charge does not include addressing school closings, however, information from the Committee was used by staff.

Mr. Jim Randall, Coalition for Neighborhood Schools (Heronville School patron), expressed parents' frustration with regard to the process used in closing schools. The Coalition submitted five suggestions: 1) a new moratorium; 2) a task force of persons within the district to address school closings and other; 3) a master plan for future use of facilities and staffing needs; 4) reports and pertinent information to be made available to patrons; 5) the Coalition be given the detailed records of expenses and expenditures for the last three years to assist with cost-cutting decisions. Dr. Steller stated he could provide some of the information requested; and repeated his earlier statement that no additional school closings would be initiated within the immediate future.

Mr. Kenneth Nash, Putnam Heights Patron, said he was pleased the closing of Putnam Heights did not appear on the agenda, as previously announced. He expressed his support of the neighborhood school concept.

Ms. Jerry Reagan, Patron, commented on the financial condition of the District, school closings, the the pending board member election, telephone systems, and crossing guards. Dr. Steller encouraged Mrs. Reagan to submit her cost saving suggestions to the Board for review.

General Business

Mr. Shepard reported that the State Department of Health and the Department of Labor had delivered a letter that evening, March 11, 1987, declaring Grant High School safe and that school could reopen the next day, March 12, 1987. Dr. Jack Isch, Director of Service Center Operations, reviewed activities occuring since the discovery of loose asbestos material in the tunnel underneath the school. On Friday evening, March 6, 1987, Mr. Steve Allen, State Department of Health, notified Dr. Isch that he had discovered loose asbestos material in one part of the tunnel, and that Grant High School would have to be closed. On Saturday, air samples were taken. The reading was slightly above standard in the media center. Mr. Allen informed Dr. Isch that once a partial vaccum could be created in the tunnel that he would allow the school to be reopened. Negative air pressure has been achieved.

Dr. Isch said there were only two places outside of the tunnel where asbestos was detected; the media center, which has been cleaned and tested safe, and a weight room. The covering of an asbestos-insulated pipe in the weight room had been damaged. The weight room will be cleaned and reopened within three-four days. Dr. Betty Mason, Assistant Superintendent, Instruction and Related Services, reported that school would be back in session on Thursday, March 12, 1987. Ms. Elizabeth Ennis, Director of High Schools; Dr. JoAnn Wine, Medical Advisor; Ms. Juanita Rischard, Health Services Administrator; and Dr. Isch will meet with students on March 12 to explain what happened and give assurance of the safe condition of the school.

Ms. Terry Fife, State Prevention Coordinator, State Department of Mental Health, also spoke in support of maintaining elementary school counselors.

Mr. George Barnes, Edgemere Patron, stated patrons were confused concerning the school closing issue. He commented on his study of the Edgemere School closing, the changes occuring in 1-89 since 1972, and the state economy. He asked for the formation of a "non-partisan" group of advisors to assist in budget reduction decisions.

Mr. Frank Wall, Edgemere Patron, asked the Board to re-consider the closing of Edgemere Elementary School. He questioned the Locke Wright Foster model school standard, fire code data, closing policy criteria, and whether Edgemere programs would be provided at Horace Mann.

Ms. Shirley Calloway stated she believed her son was suspended from school as a result of a complaint she made against a teacher. Dr. Steller asked Dr. Mason to speak with Ms. Calloway.

Mrs. Hill responded to the various individuals' questions and concerns. She stated budget decisions have not "already been made", and encouraged employees and patrons to submit suggestions.

1987-88 BUDGET i REDUCTION | DISCUSSION | (Continued)______

Budget

Reduction in Expenditures, 1987-88 Budget (Continued)

Dr. Jesse Lindley, Assistant Superintendent, Financial Management, commented on the proposed reductions. He said in addition to reductions of $6 million to the 1985-86 budget, 10% of all 1986-87 accounts were frozen in July 1986 to prepare for the possibility of a cut in state funding. Action taken by the Legislature to increase gasoline taxes has made available the 1986-87 frozen funds (approximately $1.5 million) to be expended during the 1987-88 school year. He said no lay-offs are recommended; however, some reassignments may have to be made, as well as maintaining some positions into the next fiscal year until normal attrition reduces the number of personnel.

Dr. Lindley described some of the factors which will contribute to the reduction of income the District can expect for 1987-88, including a $1.35 million loss in appropriated state funds as a result of a reduction of "hold harmless" by 25%. Some additional funds are anticpated to be received from the revaluation of property in Oklahoma County; however, it is too early to predict how much this will be. The District will need approximately $2 million available to provide for employee raises for the 1987-88 school year. Carry-over funds are expected to be approximately $3 million at the end of 1987-88, which will be the lowest carry-over in many years. There was discussion between Board members and various members of staff concerning individual items listed for recommended reduction in item 1.

Hearings

The following persons addressed the Board in support of maintaining certain programs and positions recommended for reduction (numbers in parentheses show item being supported by each speaker).

John Turpin, Inhouse Teacher, Rogers Middle School

Barbara Outlaw, Assistant Principal, Taft Middle School (item 1)

(item 1)

In response to Mr. Turpin and Ms. Outlaw, Dr. Heath remarked that if the middle school inhouse suspension program is eliminated, it is not the Board's intention to "boot people out of school", but for the principal to find other alternatives to deal with students' problems within the school day at the school site.

Grayford Chesher, CVET Mechanics Teacher, John Marshall High School (item 2)

Carol Worth, COE Teacher, Capitol Hill High School

(item 2)

Dr. Heath stated that he believed the equipment students are currently using at Capitol Hill was furnished by the State Department of Education, and that it will be reassigned to another school district if 1-89 eliminates the program. Dr. Hughes pointed out that even if the recommendation was approved, COE programs are still offered in five other 1-89 high schools.

^CONSIDERATION IF EDGEMERE iCHOOL CLOSING 'OTE - FOR 1/13/87 AGENDA

Dr. Steller pointed out the correction to number 19 as previously discussed: personnel remaining after reductions should include 1 chief; 3 sergeants; 10 patrolmen; 9 campus officers; and 1 administrative secretary. Mrs. Hermes made the following statement:

"Based on the Fire Marshall's report claiming Edgemere meets fire codes at this time on room placement for kindergarten and first graders and also based on the Locke Wright Report that shows varying replacement vs. renovation percentages for Edgemere, one being 27% if handicapped compliance is not considered; and since it is my understanding that all schools are grandfathered in for handicapped compliance; and since Edgemere is the only school we have closed that could lose a checkmark in that column, Edgemere then only would have a check under capacity. For these reasons, I would like the reconsideration of the closing of Edgemere to be placed on the agenda for the April 13 Board meeting. I would also ask that the Board receive not an overabundance of materials, but the renovation vs. replacement figures and what they all mean so that we would have some basis for our vote." Mrs. Hill stated reconsideration of the action to close Edgemere School would be.on the agenda of the April 13 regular meeting.

â€™RETERMINATION IEARING ILAN AMBRISTER

Pretermination Hearing - Alan Ambrister

Dr. Steller recommended the Board not renew the employment contract of Mr. Alan Ambrister for the 1987-88 school year on the statutory grounds of willful neglect of duty and incompetence. He stated that ten days before this meeting Mr. Ambrister wa-s notified in writing that the superintendent would be making the recommendation on March 30, 1987, and was invited to attend the meeting to hear an explanation of the basic reasons for the recommendation. He was also informed he would be given the opportunity to respond to the charges before the Board voted on the recommendation.

SPECIAL BUSINESS

Pretermination Hearing

Mr. Ambrister stated his union representatives were Georgia Iannello, President, AFT Local 2309; Marilyn Atkinson, and Ted Metzer. Dr. Stell er presented the summary of evidence supporting his recommendation as follows:

"Mr. Ambrister is a tenured social studies teacher at John Marshall High School. Repeatedly throughout the 1986-87 school year Mr. Ambrister failed to report to work on time. The John Marshall High School Teachers Handbook, the Negotiated Agreement with teachers, and School Board Policy provide that a teacher such as Mr. Ambrister should report to work 30 minutes before the first regularly scheduled class at the school. Therefore, at John Marshall, teachers are to arrive at work by 7:20 a.m.

"The principal, Ms. Pam Thomas, has documented that Mr. Ambrister arrived late to work two days in August 1986; 14 days in September, 1986; 16 days in October 1986; 15 days in November 1986; 11 days in December 1986; 11 days in January 1987; 7 days in February 1987; and 13 days in March 1987. Throughout the year Ms. Thomas regularly brought these tardiness deficiencies to Mr. Ambrister's attention in writing. Also, she held several conferences with Mr. Ambrister throughout the year to discuss his tardiness and remind him of the 7:20 a.m. arrival time required by the Teacher's Handbook, Negotiated Agreement and Board Policy. Ms. Thomas further brought these tardiness deficiencies to Mr. Ambrister's attention in a written teacher evaluation on October 21, 1986. On the date of that evaluation, and again on December 2, 1986, Ms. Thomas prepared written plans for improvement in an effort to assist Mr. Ambrister's punctuality. At the same time she admonished him in writing that his continued tardiness could jeopardize his empl oyment.

PRETERMINATION HEARING | ALAN AMBRISTER | (Continued)______

ij Â§ â– !

i j

"Notwithstanding all of Ms. Thomas' efforts to assist this teacher, the teacher failed to improve and continued to report to work late. Ms. Thomas has previoulsy provided Mr. Ambrister with a specific list of all dates when he was tardy in arriving at work. The information I_ have provided you this evening is documented in Mr. Ambrister's personnel file. "I have conferred with legal counsel on this matter. Counsel informs me that in the case of Winslett v. Independent School District No. 16 of Commanche County, 657 Pacific Reporter, Second Series, page 1208, the Oklahoma Court of Appeals in 1982 held that a teacher's repeated tardiness amounted to willful neglect of duty and bordered on incompetency.

"Ms. Thomas recommended to me that Mr. Ambrister's employment with the school district should be terminated. It should be noted that ten days ago Ms. Thomas also provided Mr. Ambrister with a letter stating she was recommending to me, the superintendent, that Mr. Ambrister's employment not be renewed for school year 1987-88 on the grounds of willful neglect of duty and incompetence due to his repeated failure to arrive at work on time. I concur with Ms. Thomas, and recommend that the Board vote to not renew Mr. Ambrister's employment contract for the 1987-88 school year on the statutory grounds of willful neglect of duty and incompetency."

At the conclusion of his report, Dr. Stell er stated Mr. Ambrister could respond to the charges and state his position concerning the recommendation for nonreemployment. Mr. Ambrister requested the recommendation for his nonreemployment be discussed with him and his representative, Marilyn Atkinson, in executive session. Upon questioning by Mr. Day, Mr. Ambrister agreed that Dr. Steller and Mrs. Pamela Thomas, Principal, John Marshall High School, would also go into executive session. Mr. Ambrister affirmed he understood his presence in executive session would only be for the purpose of explaining his position to the Board; that there would be no presenting of sworn testimony or evidence.

ATTORNEY'S REPORT

The Board's attorney, Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, introduced Ms. Sheila Sewell, new Associate General Counsel for the School District. Mr. Day then reported on a current legal matter as follows: Dowell v. 1-89 "At the last regular meeting I believe we were operating with a trial date of April 27 in the Dowell case. Following that regular meeting, it became apparent to the parties on both sides and to counsel and to various expert witnesses in the case that additional time was needed for preparations, to prepare exhibits and to complete discovery. As a result, the parties jointly requested Judge Bohanan reschedule the trial date. Judge Bohanan did grant that joint and mutual request. Judge Bohanan rescheduled the trial from April 27, 1987 to June 15, 1987. Additionally, Judge Bohanan set the pre-trial conference for June 4 and ordered that all of the parties would have their discovery completed by the 8th of May.

OESCO v. 1-89 "In the lawsuit that Oklahoma Electrical Supply Company filed against the District over some electrial contracting work here, today the District was served with interrogatories by plaintiff's counsel.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT

Mr. Donald Ladd presented a routine Treasurer's report. (Copy of the written report on file in compliance with State statutes in the office of the clerk.)

Special Staff Reports

(a)

Capital Improvements Priority Task Force

Mr. Dick Samples, Administrator, Capital Improvements Department, reported that the task force was formed to address the need for a formal method to identify facility needs in priority order for upgrading by bond issue funding. The task force recommended that the Superintendent appoint a committee to look at the climate in the community and decide the dollar amount and appropriateness of presenting a bond issue for a vote. Also included in the task force recommendations were that 1) each school would have a capital improvements committee to gather information from various groups, review conditions and needs of their own building and prioritize those needs; and 2) that the system be put in place in the late winter/earl.v spring of 1988. (A copy of the report is on file in the office of the clerk.) Mrs. Hill suggested the Board should receive copies of prioritized facility needs lists at the same time the Cabinet receives them. Mr. Prigmore and Mrs. Hermes asked why implementation of the process would not begin until spring Of 1988. Dr. Stell er responded that there still exists a list of needs from the 1985 bond issue which did not pass, in addition to lists identifying needs for asbestos removal and other in the amount of at least $20 million.

| i Staff Report - Recommendations for Chapter I, Extended Day j Extended Day Ki ndergarten/ Kindergarten and Half Day Child Care Half Day Chi 1 d Care RecommenDr. Hughes said the recommendations were being made in response to Board members' expressed concerns for providing services to students in dations consolidating schools (students who formerly attended schools that will be closing and will now be going to schools further from their homes); also, to address continuing concerns about providing enriched kindergarten programs:

Extended day kindergarten and half day child care programs are recommended as follows: (1)

Extended Day Kindergarten (Beginning 1987-88 School Year)

Columbus Dunbar (2 classes) Eugene Field King Lee Mark Twain Wilson

Parker Pol k Rockwood Shidl er Stand Watie Wheel er

Dr. Hughes said one funding option is to use Chapter I funds to provide extended day kindergarten. The proposed schools were identified as Chapter I schools where students have the greatest economic need. Half of teachers'salaries for these programs would be paid from district funds and half from Chapter I funds. There are also provisions for aides and home/school liaison personnel. Total cost for extended day kindergarten funded by Chapter I for 14 classes would be just under $500,000.

Staff Report - Recommendations for Chapter I, Extended Day Kindergarten and Half Day Child Care (Continued)

(2)

Half Day Child Care (Beginning 1987-88 School Year)

Dr. Hughes proposed that half-day child care be made available at the following schools not eligible for Chapter I, but who would be impacted by school closings: i

Buchanan , v Hayes North Highland Coolidge

Parmelee Arthur Ridgeview

She said families with economic need could apply for Title XX reimbursement and for free lunches. Other parents may elect to pay fees of $20 per week plus the cost of school lunches ($5/week). Placement of a class at each school would depend on the enrollment of at least 15 children and available space. Start up costs for each half day child care site would be $4,200 (general fund). Mrs. Hill pointed out that the proposal for programs to be funded by Chapter I is awaiting Chapter I (federal) approval. She also expressed concern that not all students needing extended day kindergarten would qualify for Chapter I services. Mrs. Hill asked that staff provide additional information on numbers of students who would and would not be served. As an option, Dr. Steller suggested the Board could allocate funds from the general fund for the entire program, and devise a sliding scale fee schedule. Dr. Hughes stated additional time would be required to 1) select the instrument to assess enrolling kindergarteners; 2) get kindergarteners into a site where they can be assessed and 3) determine how many students in the Chapter I schools will qual i fy.

Mr. Prigmore asked for a contingency plan in case enrollment requirements were not met. Mrs. Hill asked that item "e", 1 and 2,f be placed under; items pending even if the Board voted .to approve the: rproposa^g (i .e^y to: adopt the proposal as stated, and instruct the Superintendent to determine how many children would not qualify).

Hearing: Georgia Iannello, President, AFT Local 2309, said she supported extended day kindergarten programs, however, extended day kindergarten for Chapter I students would only serve a small number of students and create problems for teachers. 2.

School Calendar Dr. Steller announced the recommendation for approval of the school calendar from 1987-88 through 1990-91 would be deleted from consideration until a later date because of an error in the calendar.

Make-Up Day Approved for June 1, 1987

Make-Up Instructional Day Approval that the two days missed due to hazardous weather conditions, Monday, January 29 (Teacher Inservice Day; no students required to attend school) and Tuesday, January 20, 1987 (regular instruction day); that the Teacher Inservice Day be excused; and that one make-up instructional day (required in order to stay in compliance with state statutes), be scheduled for June 1, 1987. Record Day and the payment of warants originally scheduled for June 1, to be rescheduled for June 2, 1987.

Remarks

;

Dr. Steller announced that students from Eisenhower Middle School placed first and second in the State Olympics of the Mind competition.

With regard to state legislation, he mentioned H.B. 1266 which, if passed, could mean a loss to the district of $1,000,000 in hold harmless funding. Additionally, the county-wide equalization bill could cost the District $4.3 mill ion. Dr. Steller noted that the millage election to be held on April 14 would provide approximately $19 million to the school district. He thanked the news media for bringing the election to the attention of the public.

HEARINGS

1EARINGS

The following persons addressed the Board:

Mr. Richard Tupper, Teacher Roosevelt Middle School, member of OEA, requested that the Board revise Policy GCBD to allow for an extension of leave from two to four years for Jo Bazhaw, President, OEA-OKC.

Ms. Wanda Brandan, Teacher, Parmelee Elementary School, asked the Board to change the current leave policy to allow employees to serve as officers in professional organizations for longer than two years.

Mr. Day responded that school law contains a statute granting Boards the power to grant leaves of absence without pay; no restriction on the number of years. However, Policy GCBD, specifically limits the extension of leave to one year with three additional years of qualifying service required before becoming eligible for another extended leave of absence. The Board could amend their policy, but would also have to renegotiate the collective bargaining agreement with the AFT with regard to length of leaves of absence. 1. #246 ’ERSONNEL REPORT, ’AYROLLS, AND ENCUMBRANCES \PPROVED

Mr. Prigmore recognized Senator Bernest Cain, and thanked him for his efforts at the state legislature in support of public schools.

SPECIAL BUSINESS 1. #255 \CTION TO :LOSE EDGEMERE SCHOOL RESCINDED

Mrs. Hermes made the motion, seconded by Mr. Prigmore, that the Board rescind previous action taken by the Board at its meeting of March 2, 1987 (Resolution #212) to close Edgemere School for the 1987-88 school year and reassign students to other schools for the 1987-88 school year. A

In discussion of the motion, Mrs. Floyd stated she wished to reaffirm her commitment to check the process and verify all information about school closing recommendations. She emphasized that no one wanted to close schools, and none would have been closed had it not been for the severe financial dilemma now facing Oklahoma's public schools. She stated it was this emergency which forced implementation of the Board policy on school closings this year, rather than waiting for next year. She said after extensive review, she still found it clear that all seven schools closed were closed properly under Board Policy (FL); and that the items used to determine the renovation cost, particularly, were included in all cases and were used in the same manner in each case. Specifically, she said all the renovation costs had been calculated by including the cost of handicapped modifications and asbestos removal, among others. Mrs. Floyd stated it was her belief that to reopen Edgemere or any other school was asking the Board to not consider information in one case while considering it in all the others. She said this not only requires special treatment for one school, but raises the serious problem of denying the need for renovations previously identified. She felt the most Important consideration was to try to answer the question of how to best meet the needs of all students with increasingly limited resources. She stated that combining facilities and services is a sound and fair approach which considers first the educational needs of students. Mrs. Floyd said because schools nearby had *-the space and were also in good condition, that reopening Edgemere was not in the best instructional interest of the students and she could not support the action.

SPECIAL BUSINESS

Edgemere School (Continued) Mrs. Donwerth also made a statement concerning the issue. She commended the Edgemere patrons and staff for the time and effort put forth in support of their school. She stated she was certain the Board's criteria had been appropriately applied in this case, and that reopening Edgemere would set a precedent. She said reopening this school also raised the issue of equity, and that many other schools are not as fortunate as Edgemere to have such strong community support.

R. #255 ACTION TO CLOSE EDGEMERE | SCHOOL RESCINDED j (Continued)______

Dr. Heath stated that on the basis of a site visit to the school and what he observed the students receiving there; as well as his site visit to the receiving school, his vote would not reflect the influence of pressure groups, but his own commitment to represent all students of the District. â–

On roll call the votes were as follows: Mrs. Floyd, no; Mr. Prigmore, aye; Mrs. Hermes, aye; Dr. Heath, aye; Mr. Williams, aye; Mrs. Donwerth, no; Mrs. Hill, aye. Five aye, two no. Mrs. Hill declared the motion carried.

Mrs. Hill stated a Fire Marshall's report, which originally indicated' six classrooms did not meet code, and a subsequent letter which states the school will meet fire code by remodeling one room, was a major factor in the decision to reconsider the Board's previous action. She said there is a possibility that legislative action could still cause the Board to consider additional budget cuts, but Edgemere School would now be included in the school closing moratorium through the remainder of 1986-87, and would reopen for the 1987-88 school year.

Hearing: Mr. Frank Wall, Edgemere School Patron, addressed the Board. He thanked the Board on behalf of the Edgemere community for reopening the school. He encouraged parents, neighborhood associations and businesses to become more involved with their schools, and also to contact state legislators. ITEMS PENDING

MINUTES OF MEETING OF APRIL 20, 1987

LEGAL REPORT ATTORNEY'S REPORT ^Continued)

Pre-Termination Hearing: "On March 30 the Board conducted a pre-termination hearing for a tenured teacher at John Marshall High School, Alan Ambrister. At that meeting, the Board voted to nonrenew his employment contract. Following the meeting Mr. Ambrister was served with statutory notice of contract nonrenewal, and within the ten-day time period he notified the Clerk of the Board that he did wish to have a due process hearing before a three-member hearing panel. The Clerk of the Board processed that request through the State Department of Education. A couple of days ago we received a list of 21 attorneys who are all potential hearing officers in the case. Before April 6 we will have to meet with Mr. Ambrister and his representative and go through the statutory process to select the attorney who will serve as the hearing officer in that case. After that attorney is appointed, the case will probably be set for a full evidentiary hearing within 45 days. Dowell v. 1-89: "Today we completed and submitted the Board's preliminary exhibit list to opposing counsel. We also provided them with copies of all of our preliminary exhbits. Our final exhibit list will be due on May 8. Also, during the first week of May we have numerous depositions scheduled of expert witnesses on each side of the case. At this point in time the plaintiffs have not requested any depositions from School Board members.

Viola Askew v. 1-89: "The District is involved in litigation with Viola Askew over the title to the Sunnyside School property. We read in the newspaper recently where Mrs. Askew passed away. That may have an impact on the lawsuit, and it may be that her estate will be substituted as the party plaintiff."

HEARINGS I EARINGS

Two persons addressed the Board as follows:

Ms. Sharon Gentry, Teacher, Moon Middle School, spoke concerning staffing problems at Moon Middle School. She said for the past two years, inaccurate projections have caused teachers to be transferred after the beginning of school (fifth grade students expected to enroll in the sixth grade never show up). She cited specific problems in the areas of art, social studies, and science. Dr. Steller responded that the problem of decreasing enrollment, particularly in the sixth grade, is something staff needs to continually work on to find out where these students do enroll. Dr. Steller suggested increased flexibility in scheduling might alleviate some the problems.

Dr. Steller remarked on the protest period for the new property revaluation currently in effect. He said many assessments are being changed as a result of protests. He said the movement by various groups to have the County Assessor lower the ratio even further could have a negative impact on district revenues. He pointed out that because of the way the state funding formula is designed, any additional revenue the District may receive from the revaluation would be a one-time only windfall.

AFFIRMATIVE J ACTION PLAN | FOR BALANCING SCHOOL STAFFS

Affirmative Action Report Dr. Betty Mason, Assistant Superintendent, Instruction & Related Services, reviewed the report entitled, "Affirmative Action Plan for Balancing Schools" (copy on file in the office of the clerk). Ms. Linda Johnson, Administrator for Affirmative Action/EEO, was also present to respond to Board members' questions.

f --------------------------------------

The plan contained eight recommendations for bringing the black/other ratios at several schools back into compliance with the Board's affirmative action policy (36.9% with a + variance of 10%). Dr. Mason suggested now would be a good time to make the effort to bring schools into compliance because of the large number of certified personnel reassignments which will be necessary anyway due to school closings and the elimination of some programs for the 1987-88 school year.

The plan recommendations are as follows:

1) .

An updated report, "Affirmative Action Needs for School Staffs", has been compiled and made available to the Administrator for Certified Personnel and the Executive Director of Personnel.

Rationale: This information makes them aware of individual school needs for becoming compliant and can be utilized for decision maki ng. 2)

A separate information sheet has been prepared for individual schools indicating their specific needs and forwarded to the directors in the Instruction and Related Services Division and individual school administrators. An updated copy will also be distributed. This will also be given to the Personnel Administrator for Certified Personnel and the Executive Director of Personnel as an addendum to the "Affirmative Action Needs for School SXaffs" report. Rationale: Principals need to be aware of the affirmative action needs of their specific schools as actions are taken.

â€˜

MINUTES OF MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1987

SPECIAL BUSINESS

Affirmative Action Report :3)

Personnel Services should approve employment and/or transfer of staff personnel ONLY when such moves are in keeping with affirmative action goals. Rationale: A concerted effort on the part of all administrators should cause schools to be virtually in compliance at the beginning of the 1987-88 school year.

Personnel will NOT be transferred to another school if their transfer harms the schoolâ€™s compliance efforts. Example:

The school is currently out of compliance and the teacher transfer would further reduce the opportunity for compliance.

The school is currently in compliance and the teacher transfer would cause it to become non-compliant.

Rationale: All schools must take the necessary steps to become and/or remain compliant.

Teachers in schools that are out of compliance will be encouraged to volunteer to transfer from one building to another in order to bring schools into compliance.

Rationale: This will afford schools remaining out of compliance, after 'all reassignments have been made, the opportunity to become compliant.

Instruction and Related Services Directors will be requested to require each building administrator, whose school is not in compliance by September, 1987, to set a goal stating what year how that school will be in compliance. Such goal should be based upon the degree to which the school is out of compliance at the beginning of the 1987-88 school year, expected staff attritions, staff size and other related factors.

Personnel Services should work towards assigning more Blacks to the elementary level and should work towards reassigning Blacks at the middle and high school levels to elementary levels considering certification and abilities.

A continuing recruitment effort for Black teachers is important for the attainment of the district's goals.

Dr. Mason stated the District's affirmative action goal is 36.9% black teachers + 10%. During the 1986-87 school year, the teaching staff, district wide, was 30.6% black. As of April 15, 1987 there are 1,948 teachers in the district; 596 of which are black, or 30.6%. Thirty-nine schools are in compliance. Of the schools out of compliance, 43 are "low black" and 8 are "high black". Dr. Mason reviewed each of the eight recommendations and, along with Linda Johnson and other members of administrative staff, responded to questions from various members of the Board.

Following the report, Dr. Heath made the motion, seconded by Mr. Williams, for approval of the plan as presented to the Board, including minor format changes to the attachments as described by Dr. Stell er. Mrs. Hermes made the motion, seconded by Mrs. Floyd, to amend the motion for approval to change the words "what year" to "how" in item 6 as shown above.

Standardization on Copiers A report on district-wide standardization of copiers was made by Mr. Charles Allen, Manager of Purchasing. The task force recommends standardization of copiers because the large number of brands and models at sites throughout the district require many different service contracts and do not allow for purchasing of supplies in quantities. For school buildings and Special Centers, the task force recommended the District enter into a contract with Gestetner Office Systems for the 1987-88 school year with the option of extending the contract an additional four years. A five-year contract with Xerox Corporation was recommended for providing copiers for the Administration Building and Service Center as described in the proposal (copy on file in the office of the clerk).

Ms. McBee's report responded to questions raised by the 1985-86 full evaluation of the current promotion/retention policy. The policy contains three criteria related to student achievement for identifying students for retention.

Of over 2,232 students who met the criteria, 85% were promoted to the next grade. (A copy of the complete report is on file in the office of the clerk.) (f)

Because smoking has been proven to be harmful to the health of both smokers and others exposed to the smoke, I move that the Oklahoma City Board of Education request the Superintendent to conduct a study on how best to implement a districtwide policy that would apply to all district operated buildings and school vehicles so that smoking will be confined to designated areas.

LEGAL REPORT

Attorneyâ€™s Report The Board's attorney, Mr. Ronald Day, of Fenton, Fenton, Smith, Reneau & Moon, reported on current legal matters as follows:

Dowell v. 1-89 "We met our May 8 deadline for exchanging exhibits with the plantiffs. As it turned out, we submitted approximately 210 exhibits on behalf of the Board of Education. I'd like to state that the District's Research Department and the administrative staff really acted above and beyond the call of duty in assisting us with assembling and preparing these exhibits for exchange.

ATTORNEY'S REPORT

MINUTES OF MEETING OF MAY 18, 1987

LEGAL REPORT

"Last week, as you know, was devoted primarily to discovery and depositions. We deposed four of plaintiff's expert witnesses. Dr. Yale Rabin, Dr. Marilee Taylor, Dr. Robert Crane, and Dr. Gordon Foster. And plaintiff' counsel deposed three of our experts, Dr. Herbert Wai berg, Dr. William Clark, and Dr. Finis Welch. All in all, I feel like the depositions went very wel1. "Next on our scheduling order is the timeline for trial briefs and submitting a pre-trial order. Both of those will be due next week, so our activity over the next week will be devoted to briefing and preparation of a joint pre-trial order to submit to Judge Bohanan. As of the present date, we're still scheduled for trial on June 15." Alan Ambrister

"Concerning the nonrenewal of the tenured teacher at John Marshall High School, we did select a hearing judge in accordance with the statutory procedure. The hearing judge is Robert A. Manchester, III. He's an attorney in private practice here in Oklahoma City. He called me after he was selected and indicated that he'd like to hold the hearing during the second week in June, and also indicated that he would like for the parties to exchange a list of exhibits and witnesses some time during the first week in June. We anticipate that case will be tried during the second week of June. It will probably take one day, depending on the nature of the medical testimony invovled." HEARINGS The following persons addressed the Board:

Mr. Charles Smotherman, President, CSA Vending, spoke concerning the district's selection of vending companies for high schools. He complained that another company was recommended to high school principals. Dr. Steller responded that each high school principal is free to select the vending company for his or her own school; however, if all schools select the same company, quantity discounts may become available. Dr. Steller informed Mr. Smotherman that he was welcome to submit proposals to principals, and suggested that Mr. Smotherman meet with Ms. Ennis, Director of High Schools.

(A complete copy of the written report is on file in the office of the clerk).

Dr. Betty Mason presented other recommendations of the task force, including: 1) substitute the term, "potential retainee" with "performance deficiencies" especially for the purpose of communication with parents; 2) adjust date of final notification to parents to be as late as May 20.

I I i i I

i i

Consider adding new criteria: "Would there be a loss of programs or loss of services (Chapter I, for example) to students in closing the school?"

Policy IKE, Promotion of Students PROMOTION OF STUDENTS

The Board believes:

All students can learn when expected to do so and when given the proper amount of time with a competent teacher;

Teachers must monitor and document the progress and â€˘ achievement of individual students throughout the school

year, make adjustments in the student's instructional program, and advise parents periodically throughout the

year about their child's progress; C.

Some students may require more or less than nine years to complete the K-8 curriculum and the district should provide time and instruction appropriate to the needs of each student;

A student's educational progress, in general, will be

more seriously harmed by an unearned promotion, than by nonpromotion; and

Policy IKE, Promotion of Students (Continued)

The school, parent, and students share the responsibility

for developing and implementing a program for student

improvement. F.

Effort, achievement, and attendance are standards for

success in any career.

School standards can help

students develop the work habits and attitudes needed for success in adult life.

Students can be encouraged to excel by use of appro-

priate achievement incentives . Therefore, it is the policy of the Board that only those students

who demonstrate competency in basic essential skills of reading and and mathematics in the elementary schools or core subjects (language arts/reading, mathematics, social studies and science)

in middle schools will be considered eligible for promotion to the next higher grade (see exceptions). Achievement in other subjects such as related arts, physical

education at the elementary and middle school level, home economics, typing, and industrial arts in the middle school

should be

considered in the overall evaluation of a student’s

performance and promotion.

The Board also believes that certain special education and bi-

lingual students receiving services should not be required to meet the minimal standards of eligibility for promotion. The judgment of the building team that work with students

throughout the year, will determine which students will be-promoted. are eligible for promotion on the basis of established

Mrs. Floyd said she was concerned about preserving items of historical value currently housed in school buildings, in particular, Harrison Elementary School. Dr. Betty Mason, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction & Related Services, stated she had discussed with Dessie Edwards, Principal, Britton Elementary School, the possibility of designating one classroom at Britton School for preserving those items. She said this concept may also be practical for other closed schools; that is, to create a "museum" of closedschool memorabilia in the receiving school. For the present, Mrs. Floyd said she agreed with looking for one room at Britton Elementary School. Dr. Steller said that later in the summer he would have information on the " ' formation of a historical preservation committee. He also mentioned that the retired employees group is involved in preserving school memorabilia.

Statement by Grievant

Mr. DeGiusti stated he held the position of social studies teacher at Roosevelt Middle School for nine years before taking leave for union service for six years. In March, 1987, he made the decision to return to the classroom. He said he became aware that due to a retirement, a social studies position would be open at Roosevelt. Mr. DeGiusti contended that he followed the contract in expressing his desire to return to his former assignment, and made the principal and staff aware of his desire; that the contract language concerning teachers returning from leave is clear; the appropriate vacancy existed; and that the principal filled the position with a teacher with unequal qualifications and seniority who had only taught math at Roosevelt. Mr. DeGiusti said the respondent was using an administrative regulation which states in part, "A vacancy will not be considered to exist on a staff that has been reduced unless none of the displaced employees is qualified to fill the position". He stated the language in the regulation conflicts with the Negotiated Agreement; also, that he should still have been considered part of the Roosevelt faculty despite his leave of absence status.

Statement by Respondent Mr. Moore said on April 29, 1987, the Roosevelt principal received notice that he would have to reduce his 1987-88 teaching allocation and was required to identify two teachers for reassignment. He stated the contract language providing for placement in the same assignment held prior to the leave of absence was contingent upon several conditions, one being that the appropriate vacancy exists. GCCA/GDCA R-l states that a vacancy will not be considered to exist on a staff that has been reduced unless none of the displaced employees is qualified to fill the position. In compliance with GCCA/GDCA R-l, a vacancy was not declared. The displaced math teacher, also certified to teach social studies, was given the social studies position vacated by a retiring teacher.

313 MINUTES OF MEETING OF JULY 15, 1987

SPECIAL BUSINESS Level III Grievance Hearing

Statement by Respondent (Continued)

Mr. Moore stated a leave of absence is leave from the Districtâ€™s service and is granted by the District; that it is not leave from a specific school site, nor is it granted by the school site. He said the issue of seniority was irrelevant because Mr. DeGiusti was on leave from the District and was not a staff member at Roosevelt at the time the building assignments were made.

LEVEL III GRIEVANCE HEARING FOR ANTHONY DEGIUSTI (Continued)

Rebuttal by Grievant

Mr. DeGiusti stated that the retiring teacher gave formal notice on a date later than his own request for reinstatement; that his own qualifications were superior to the displaced math teacher who was assigned to the position in question; and he reiterated his belief that the administrative regulation used to place the teacher in the social studies position conflicted with the Negotiated Agreement. Rebuttal by Respondent

Concerning the charge that GCCA/GDCA R1 conflicts with the Negotiated Agreement, Mr. Moore stated the regulation defines a vacancy, but the Agreement does not contain such a definition. Mr. Moore stated that since a vacancy never existed, seniority was not an issue; further, that the principal was required to fill the social studies assignment with one of the displaced teachers if they were qualified. Board Questions and Decision

Mr. DeGiusti and Mr. Moore responded to questions from members of the Board. Mr. Moore said the District has a responsibility to assign teachers returning from leave to a position in the District; if a vacancy does not exist at the school from which they took leave, the teacher cannot return to that particular site.

Mr. DeGiusti said that since he requested reinstatement on April 6, he should have been notified that he could have the social studies vacancy before the principal received notice on April 29 that the schoolâ€™s teaching allocation would be decreased. Mr. Hise made the motion, seconded by Mr. Prigmore that the Board uphold the grievance and grant the relief sought. On roll call the votes were as follows: Mrs. Floyd, aye; Mr. Prigmore, aye; Mrs. Hermes, aye; Mr. Williams, aye; Mr. Hise, aye; Mrs. Donwerth, aye; Mrs. Hill, aye. All aye. Mrs. Hill declared the motion carried.

Advanced Funding Proposal

Dr. Jesse Lindley, Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Business Management, stated the purpose of the advanced funding program is to facilitate the making of major purchases of equipment, materials and supplies earlier in the fiscal year than they might normally be made. Two other benefits of the program are that it will eliminate the need to issue non-payable warrants, and earn the District interest on the GIC ("guaranteed investment contract")

Dr. Lindley said other districts that have participated in advanced funding programs in recent years include Norman, Putnam City, Lawton, and Tulsa. He noted that advanced funding had not been recommended in this district in the past because there was no specific authorization for the program in the statutes; however, the State Legislature passed a bill during the last legislative session specifically authorizing school districts to participate by issuing certificates of indebtedness.

that the Board authorize an agreement(s), pursuant to Title 74, Oklahoma Statutes, Section 1008, with the Office of Public Affairs, State of Oklahoma, to remove asbestos from the cafetorium and/or gymnasium areas of Rogers Middle School.

reported

Viola Askew v. 1-89 "Several months ago Viola Askew sued the School District over the title to the Sunnyside School property. On August 3 we were served with Interrogatories and Reguests for Production of Documents by Mrs. Askew's counsel which the District will be required to answer by September 2. We will gather the information requested and file appropriate answers and responses by that date.

345 MINUTES OF MEETING OF AUGUST 10, 1987

LEGAL AND FINANCIAL REPORTS 1.

Attorney1s Reportt (Continued)

Dowell v. 1-89 "We received notification from the court reporter in the Dowell case that he has completed the trial transcript. The judge ordered that we are to submit our proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law thirty days after the transcripts are filed. We have a deadline of September 4 to file those proposed Findings and Conclusions. After we submit those, the judge will schedule the case for final arguments by counsel, and sometime thereafter will issue his decision.

Alan Ambrister v. 1-89 "We appeared at the Due Process Hearing for that tenured teacher on July 24 at the Village Courthouse. Ms. Sewell and I presented the District's case, and David O'Dens represented the teacher. The hearing officer was Robert Manchester, III, and the hearing panel member selected by the teacher was Jim Huff. Pam Thomas designated Jim Capps to serve as a panel member for the District and Administration. As witnesses, Pam Thomas, Alan Ambrister and Dr. Gary Massad testified. Dr. Massad's testimony came through a deposition that we submitted to the panel.

"The hearing officer ordered that the court reporter prepare a transcript of that hearing and asked each side to submit proposed findings within twelve days after that transcript is filed. We hope to have a decision in that case by the end of this month or the first part of September. Overall, we feel that the case went well for the District.

Spencer Development Company v. 1-89

"In this case, originally filed in 1984, the major issue was which school district the north half of Sun Country Estates Addition was in; whether it was in the Mid-Del district or the Oklahoma City district. At the trial of that case in 1984, the District took the position that the twenty acres was within Independent School District Number 89 and that the children in that area going to Mid-Del at that time could continue to go there. After the trial, the District Court ruled in favor of Mid-Del, and in effect changed the boundary line and annexed that area to Mid-Del. Following that decision, the Oklahoma City Board voted to appeal to the Oklahoma Supreme Court and the case has been pending before the Supreme Court for almost three years. "On July 21, 1987 the Oklahoma Supreme Court handed down their decision in the case. They ruled that the disputed area was, in fact, within the boundaries of Independent School District Number 89, and that the children attending Mid-Del at the time were going to be allowed to continue to attend Mid-Del schools, there. "There were a couple of issues which were not specifically answered by the court's decision, specifically with respect to which district receives accrued ad valorem revenue and which schools children that have recently moved into the area will attend. Mid-Del made a proposal to wrap up those loose ends last week, and at a Special Meeting on Friday (August 7, 1987) you approved that proposal.

Spalding Phonics Program Report

Dr. George Kimball, Data Base Statistical Analyst, Planning, Research & Evaluation Department, highlighted his report comparing the Spalding Phonics Program to Basal Reading Instruction (copy on file in the office of the clerk). The Spalding Phonics Program was used at Shields Heights and Fillmore Elementary Schools during 1986-87. A comparison was made between these students and students at 17 other elementary sites. Dr. Kimball said the results showed no significant difference in the students' achievement in terms of reading comprehension and reading vocabulary. Students taught with the Spalding method had higher scores in spelling and significantly higher scores in word recognition. He said teachers' reactions to the Spalding program were divided, with six of the eleven teachers in favor of recommending adoption of the program, three against, and two undecided.

Dr. Kimball recommended in his report that teachers at the two pilot sites who desire to do so be allowed to use the phonics approach for another year. A follow-up comparison study will be made at the end of the 1987-88 school year. Dr. Steller stated that according to information he had received, the difference in cost between the programs was approximately $70/student for the Spalding Phonics program, and approximately $28/student for the basal program. DRIVER EDUCATION TO BE OFFERED AS COMMUNITY ED. COURSE

Driver Education Approval to offer driver education as a Community Education course at a cost of $95 for residents of Oklahoma City Public School District and $125 for non-residents of the district.

Dr. Steller stated this recommendation was a result of the state eliminating funding for driver education. REMARKS SUPERINTENDENT

Remarks

Dr. Steller reviewed conferences he had attended the past week, including a staff development presentation about instructional effectiveness he made to the Tulsa area school districts.

365 MINUTES OF MEETING OF AUGUST 24, 1987

HEARINGS Two persons addressed the Board as follows: 1.

Ms. Anne Martin, Teacher, Shields Heights Elementary School, spoke in support of the Spalding Phonics Program. She said she believed as teachers receive more training, students' scores will also improve. She also said the Spalding books did not require the purchase of workbooks and, therefore, the textbooks could be used for several years.

Ms. Annetta McCoy, Elementary Counselor, requested that the vacant elementary counseling position be filled for the 1987-88 school year.

HEARINGS

Dr. Steller responded that the vacant position was included in the 1987-88 budget; that it was the intent to fill the position once enrollment figures are known. PERSONNEL AND ENCUMBRANCES I

Attorney's Report

Mr. Ronald Day, General counsel, current legal matters:

reported as

follows

Kenneth Eastep v. 1-89

This claim was turned over to the insurance carriers of the District; however, the company is denying coverage in the case. The answer date is September 9, and the District's legal counsel will file an appropriate pleading to protect the District's interest. Tommie Daniel v. 1-89

The INAPRO Insurance Company will provide the defense in this matter. Defense has been assigned to the Pierce, Couch firm in Oklahoma City. Alan Ambrister v. 1-89 A decision in this case has not yet been received. Ms. Sewell submitted Proposed Findings and Conclusions over a week ago, so a decision in that case is anticipated at any time.

Sun Country Estates v. 1-89 The formal agreeement between the Oklahoma City Board and the Mid-Del Board is on the Mid-Del agenda this evening for formal approval. Mr. Howe confirmed for Mr. Day that there were fewer than ten students who moved into that area after the District Court's ruling, which was one of the concerns the Board had in discussing that settlement proposal.

(BOARD (MEMBER j COMMENTS _______

Mrs. Floyd announced that the date for the OSSBA District 6 meeting had been changed from September 28 to October 1, 1987. She said the meeting will be held in conjunction with the Schoolmasters meeting. She also mentioned the OSSBA State Legislative Network conference was scheduled for October 3-4, 1987; and the OSSBA Annual Convention would be held November 8-10, 1987. Mrs. Floyd said she had been asked to prepare a "breakout" session for the second day of the annual convention on the topic of "superintendent evaluation". With regard to staffing, she said some immediate problems should be solved now, without waiting for a task force's recommendations. Mr. Prigmore stated the comments of the individuals who spoke during the "hearings" portion of the meeting had been heard and understood. He said he would like staff and teachers to meet and come up with a flexible plan; and for staff to review ways to achieve faster computer-aided enrollment counts.

ยง

Mrs. Hermes suggested (contingent upon Board concurrence) that an employee task force should be formed to examine, evaluate, and make recommendations regarding the District's methods of staffing buildings, grades K-12.

Mrs. Donwerth expressed her concurrence regarding the task force, and thanked the teachers who spoke before the Board.

Mrs. Hill said staffing was a big concern, and encouraged members of the Board who would be attending the Council of Urban Boards meeting September 28-29 to ask board members from other cities how their districts manage this issue. Dr. Steller noted that an enrollment/scheduling task force is already in process that will address part of the issue at the high school level. At the middle school level, he said Gloria Griffin will be working on a middle school task force which will discuss this problem. He said as the high school study progresses, some additional areas for review may be added.

reported

Dowell v. Board of Education "On September 29, 1987, the Board of Education's Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law were filed with Judge Bohanan's court clerk. At the same time Mr. Chatchkin filed Proposed Findings and Conclusions on behalf of the plaintiffs, and the United States Department of Justice filed a post-trial submission. Now that the proposed findings are in, we anticipate that Judge Bohanan will set the case down for final arguments of counsel as he indicated he would at the conclusion of the hearing; and that thereafter he will hand down his decision in the case. Hopefully, we'll have a decision before January 1."

1987-88 Legislative Goals The following legislative goals were approved by the Board. At Mr. Prigmore's request, Dr. Steller stated when the goals are distributed, they will include additional explanation with regard to Goal II, 5; that laws should also be passed which address insurance company accountability and premiums. GOAL I.

Support legislation to structure an equitable and less complicated system of financial support.

OBJECTIVES: H

This goal may be achieved by the accomplishment of the following:

Restructure the present system of state funding to maintain 1986-87 levels of funding for school districts that received a cut due to a loss in hold harmless funds.

Reform the present system of ad valorem tax valuations.

Continue the moratorium on class size reduction until specified educational funding is increased and allow school districts more flexibility in the implementation of class size requirements.

Provide full funding for all mandated state programs. \

Revise the Transportation Reimbursement formula to include provisions for linear density of students and modify "average daily haul" to the "number of students legally eligible for transportation."

Make grants available (from insurance tax award) for asbestos abatement.

Modify state funding to increase the weights for special students according to recommendations made by the Special Joint Committee on School Finance:

9. 10.

If formulas are.not abolished, modify basis of Foundation Aid to ADM rather than ADA.

Increase local ability to.raise revenue without making additional local revenue chargeable in state funding formulas and local control to spend funds.

GOAL II.

Support legislation which provides the Board of Education autonomy in the operation of the school system.

OBJECTIVES:

This goal may be achieved by the accomplishment of the following:

Increase local ability to raise revenue and control funds without making additional local revenue chargeable to state funding.

Support revision of the Constitution to allow approval of school bond issues by a simple majority.

Reduce the amount of paperwork required by state law and state Department of Education regulations.

Enable common schools to call for local millage elections only once rather than every year. Elections would then only be called to increase millage limits. A reduction in the number of elections would decrease the costs of continual elections.

Lower the statutory limit for liability damage awards against a school district, thereby allowing districts to obtain liability insurance at lower rates. Exempt employees from awards of punitive damages.

Allow school districts to provide additional information to voters regarding school millage and/or bond elections, such as information supporting the passage of the proposal, thereby increasing the likelihood of increased local funding. (70 O.S. ยง5-117)

Require the State Department of Education, rather than school districts, to review the qualifications of teaching certificate applicants. If reviewed by the State Department, a duplicity of efforts can be prevented.

Allow school districts to expend public funds for the recognition of student achievements.

Modify 70 O.S. ยง1-113(G) to provide school districts latitude in providing contracted educational services to public or private residential child care facilities. (School districts should not be forced to contract with facilities that have defaulted on previous contracts.)

10.

Modify 70 O.S. ยง6-106 to allow school districts to pay employees in increments of less or more than twelve monthly installments as is currently required.

Ms. Sewell stated that in January, 1987, Ms. Dunlap was employed as a teacher in a new position at the Juvenile Justice Center; that she was initially evaluated as an effective teacher, but subsequent performance deficiencies were later observed by the principal and discussed with her. She stated the math position was listed as a vacancy at the close of the semester because Ms. Dunlap was on a non-continuing contract and because the program at the center had been modified. Ms. Sewell stated Ms. Dunlap was properly considered for the position.

SPECIAL BUSINESS PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR GRIEVANT

Witness No. 1 - Ann Turner

h d n h

Direct Questioning: Ms. Turner, a member of the union's bargaining team since 1978, testified concerning the intent of the contract language allegedly violated. She said the intent of the language was for in-district applicants to receive priority consideration over out-of-district applicants; also, that any qualified, certified in-district personnel should be considered and hired before a search is begun out-of-district.

GRIEVANCE FOR [JONETTE DUNLAP |(Continued)____

Cross Examination: Ms. Turner stated the language in question was intended to ensure that teachers on non-continuing contracts with bad evaluations or who were not certified or qualified did not get hired; that the word "consider" in the contract meant "to weigh"; and that the word "before" meant "chronologically before" and "preferentially before". Redirect: concerning language. i

Witness No. 2 - Jonette Dunlap

Direct Questioning: Ms. Dunlap stated she was employed in January, 1987, to teach math at the Juvenile Detention Center; that she received all "effective" marks on her evaluation, conducted 2/18/87; and that on three occasions the principal made remarks to her that implied she would retain her position at the center. Ms. Dunlap said the job was posted as a math position, requiring a major or minor in math. She said she did not receive an interview for the position at the center. Cross Examination: Ms. Dunlap testified that during the time she was employed at the center she also taught science; that she is not certified in science; and that science is currently still a part of the schedule. Ms. Dunlap said she prevented the principal from further evaluating her because she believed it was too late in the school year, but did not believe it would be an unfavorable evaluation despite discussions with the principal concerning her performance. The witness stated she did not have knowledge of what action the principal took in reviewing applicants for the position; only that the principal told her she had reviewed her file and considered her for the position.

Redirect: Ms. Dunlap stated science was added to the schedule after she was hired for the math position; that her evaluation (observations) took place in the science classes; that the vacancy listing for the 87-88 school year was listed as "Math (major or minor)"; and that she had a minor in math. Witness No. 3 - June Maddox Ms. Maddox testified that Ms. Dunlap's Direct Questioning: certification was not at issue. She stated that she considered Ms. Dunlap for the position by casual and formal observation in her position at the center; that she had interviewed her originally for that position, although not for the position for 1987-88; and that she again reviewed her file. Concerning the job posting, Ms. Maddox stated the program changed to include science, but the job posting remained the same. Additionally, .she testified concerning other applicants she considered; said she interviewed a person from out-of-district, and that person was hired for the job. Ms. Maddox stated she never told the ÂŁ

grievant that she would be coining back to the position the next school year, only that she gave her assurance that she would be considered. She said 6/19/87 was the "action date", the date all applicant files were reviewed, including Ms. Dunlap's. She said her procedure is to first review files of teachers on must-transfer list, then teachers on non-continuing contracts and substitutes, then applicants previously employed by the district, and finally, applicants never employed by the district. Cross Examination: Ms. Maddox responded to additional questions concerning her consideration of Ms. Dunlap, her procedure for reviewing files of eligible teachers for vacant positions, and her observance of Ms. Dunlap's classroom performance. She stated the person selected was considered after Ms. Dunlap, and was selected because of what she saw in his records, the interview, and because he was also certified to teach science. She said she was not aware of contractual provisions which required her to interview Ms. Dunlap. Ms. Maddox stated at the time the math position for the center was posted it was believed the applicant pool would be limited, and they weren't sure they could interest a math major in the juvenile detention postion.

Redirect: Concerning the person hired for the position, Ms. Maddox stated she had never observed that person teaching. She said her observation of Ms. Dunlap took place from March on through the end of the school year; that she allowed Ms. Dunlap to teach science because it was the only way to cover that area of the program at the time. PRESENTATION OF WITNESSES FOR RESPONDENT

Witness No. 1 - June Maddox Direct Questioning: Ms. Maddox's testimony included her length of service with the district, her responsibility for the instructional programs at Children's Hospital and twelve other sites; and the program offering at the Juvenile Detention Center. Cross-Examination: Ms. Maddox testified that if the word "consider" was to be interpreted as "interview" she would feel obligated to interview all non-continuing contract teachers certified for a particular vacancy rather than selecting a few to interview.

Closing Statement by Grievant

Mr. DeGiusti stated it had been established that Jonette Dunlap was qualified for the position in question; that she was experienced; that she was working for the district when she got the experience; and had received an excellent job evaluation. He said the union believes the contract states quite clearly that there is a priority in application, consideration and

Closing Statement by Grievant hiring for in-district teachers. He said the key word in the grievance was "before"; and that administrative staff should stop looking when they find a qualified individual in-district. Mr. DeGiusti stated Ms. Dunlap should have at least been given an interview, and asked that she receive the math position at the Juvenile Detention Center.

Closing Statement by Respondent

Ms. Sewell stated the grieved contract language does not require that a teacher be interviewed or employed, but that consideration be given in-district teachers before others from outside the district. She said Ms. Maddoxâ€™s testimony and documents presented indicated Ms. Dunlap was given consideration. She said the principal first considered teachers on the must-transfer list, then non-continuing contract teachers and substitutes, and then out-of-district persons in compliance with the contract; that, based on her observations and dealing with Ms. Dunlap, the principal selected the person she believed to be best qualified for the position.
