Objections to Zoning Property Adjoining Culbertson School for Business

PROPOSITION - In June, 194-5, the Oklahoma City Planning Board refused to zone property of Wm. F. Meyer, 1321.N. Lottie Avenue, being the Southwest corner of the intersection of N. E. 13th street and N. Lottie Avenue, for business. It was represented that a proposed building was to be occupied by Safeway Stores. Now, through, his Attorney, Bob Belisle, whose address is Fidelity Building, phone 3-74-3$, the matter has been appealed to the District Court and is set for hearing on July 30th next . OBJECTIONS - The. undersigned are property owners in this neighborhood and "submit the following objections: 1. The Intersection is now a dangerous one for children going to school to cross and a speoial • officer is now employed to aid them in crossing. A Safeway Store with many cars coming in and backing out of parking space would make it still more hazzardous.

2. The property in question adjoins the Culbertson Grade School grounds and no alley divides it. Your objectors surmise that all of the property so abutting the school grounds is proposed for this zoning. This would certainly detract from the school grounds. 3. Your objectors feel there is sufficient business already located adjoining this intersection to take care of all needs of the neighborhood as illustrated on the attached drawing.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. John J. Batchelor and Mr. E. W. Marshall, representing the objectors, and Mr. Bob Belisle, representing owners of the property on which the proposed store building was to be erected, were present and participated in the discussion of the matter. The question arose as to whether the Board should try to acquire this property for additional playground space for the Culbertson School. Dr. Hart's survey did not recommend an increase in ground space 'for this school. It was the consensus of the members of the Board that this was not a matter in which the Board should interfere unless it involved a hazard to the school children. . Motion was made by Mr. Richardson, seconded by Mr. Williams and carried, that check be made from the standpoint of safety and of whether or not the property is needed for the Culbertson School.

Board of Education City of Oklahoma City State of Oklahomaâ&#x2013;

July 20,19^5

Gentlemen: If you grant this application for our use of the grounds east of Page Stadium, which is commonly known as the football practice field, we agree to use the same as follows:

We will use the same for the operation of an amusement park for the colored people, using the same equipment which we. are now using north of the Municipal Auditorium with the rides and concessions that are now used. We will procure all permits necessary from the City and will execute all bonds that must be executed including the $10,000 liability insurance.

The amusement park will be conducted in an orderly manner and all things conducted according to law. Nothing unlawful will be permitted in connection with the park,. We will pay you a rental fee of $50*00 per week for the use of the ground starting Monday, July 25, 19^5- We tender you herewith $150.00 which will pay for the first three weeks rental. Any rental due for any period thereafter will be paid in advance at $50.00 per week.

I nasmuch as the lot at the present time is very rough and uneven and has several piles of dirt, which have been there some time, in the center of the lot: Permission is asked to fill the holes with this dirt, at our expense. The high weeds would also be cut at the same time. After such leveling and mowing it it is our opinion that the lot would be in better shape for football use than it is at the present time. In addition to the above, we will clean up the grounds when we vacate and in particular we will clean up all waste paper, etc,.

We agree that we will fence off the football playing field in such a manner that our patrons shall not have access to any portion of the Stadium except the practice field which we' are to us.e.

In addition to the above, we agree to particularly leave the restrooms and all equipment therein as good condition as they are now and make any necessary repairs at our expense.

We ar.e to furnish all of our own employees including our police, but we will, in addition, pay a; custodian to be selected by the Board of Education in order that he may look after the Board's interests in the matter of the grounds and equipment. We are to pay all utility bills of every nature and so arrange that the utility company will meter to us direct except the water and lights for the toilets in the restrooms. We agree to pay a reasonable amount for this to you. We understand that you are a public body and must look after the interests of the schools and we agree that anytime you feel it necessary and proper you may cancel this permission on one-day's notice and we agree to immediately vacate upon such notice of cancellation. If we do not, you may at our expense remove all equipment from the grounds.

As a token of good faith we deliver you herewith $50.00 to insure faithful performance of our agreement herein.

Secretary Approved

Upon motion of Mr. Hisel, seconded by Mr. Williams, this recommendation was concurred in.

Dr. Bruner submitted the following information to the Board:

"Since the hearing on the State Equalization Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action regarding assessments will not be held until August 22 and since the Excise Board will undoubtedly have to make their millage allocations following those hearings, it is highly probable that we shall not he able to determine that exact amount of our budget and, therefore, what salaries we can pay until at least sometime in September. This matter I talked over with Mr. Lybrand and as a result, he wrote me that following letter which he and I discussed^? The following statement was offered to be made a part of the record:

"It is impossible, prior to the opening of the Oklahoma City schools to ascertain with any degree of certainty the amount of money that will be available for the payment of teachers' salaries. For that reason the salaries in the contracts entered into with teachers are made tentative salaries and are subject to revision, depending upon the funds available for the payment of teachers' salaries.

"This fixing of the permanent salary shall be made as soon as it is ascertained what funds are available. "It is not intended that in revising to a fixed salary that the revision will be made individually as to the individual teacher, but that the revision will be uniform in the sense that it will be according to a plan for revision to be made by the Board. It is contemplated that as to certain types and certain classes of teachers, there will probably be no revision or no material revision

from the tentative salary, (e.g. the $1400 and $1500 beginning salaries for A.B. and A.M. degree teachers, respectively).” Mr. Hisel moved that the following words: "At an annual tentative salary of $_____ /subject to valid appropriations therefor being made, and subject to adjustement and revision to a fixed annual salary when amount available for the payment of teachers’ salaries is ascertained,"be used in the 1945-46 contracts in lieu of the words in the present contract, which are:"attan annual salary of $________ , subject to valid appropriations therefor being made and subject to adjustment, if all estimated cash funds are not appropriated."

The motion was seconded by Mr. Williams and upon roll call carried unanimous iy. War Contract Defined

Mr. Hisel moved that the Board rescind its action taken on June 17, 19^2, defining the term "WAR CONTRACT" and in lieu thereof substitute the following:

"Any contract with any teacher or employee hereafter made, which is marked "WAR CONTRACT" may be terminated by'the Board of Education at the end of any school semester upon giving such teacher or employee notice thereof thirty (’JO) days before date of such termination." (Approved by Mr. Lybrand). The motion was seconded by Mr. Williams and carried unanimously.

"Dr. H. B. Bruner, Superintendent Oklahoma City Board of Education 400 North Walnut Avenue Oklahoma City 4, Oklahoma "Dear Dr. Bruner:

"I am sure you will not be surprised to know that we have received a wire from our Central Office stating - .'Since the assistance under the Lanham Act for Child Care Projects has been based on the recruitment and retention oi women'workers for war production and essential supporting services, it is believed that this war neefiThas been met by allotments already made extending such projects to September 30> 19^5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;˘ The message continues that orderly liquidation of such projects should be made at the earliest date possible.

"In my letter to you of July 10, it was stated that the Federal Works Avency felt that it would be necessary to allow some time for mothers and teachers to make other arrangements. Also, it is necessary for formal notices to be sent to parents, giving them as much notice as possible. In addition, the inventorying, packing, and labeling of equipment and supplies will continue some time. It is possible that you will need to retain some staff after the date when the nursery school is closed to complete the inventory, packing,etc.

"As soon as you have set the closing date for your project will you please notify this office of the date chosen.

MEETING OF AUGUST 20, 1944 (CONTINUED)

"We who for the

should like to call your attention to the fact that if you have teachers have earned a vacation but who have not yet had the vacation, the salary that period may be. added to their final check as "terminal leave", and check should be marked "including terminal leave".

"Wile the equipment bought with Lanham funds is the property of the Applicant, I. should like to. call your attention to the fact that if you expect to sell any of this equipment the. amount received from such sales should be put into the contribution account and credited to the project.

Instructions for Closing Child Care Program

"All money left in the. contribution account , when the project is finally closed and audited will revert to the Federal Government and you will be notified by. our Fiscal Office as to the amount to be returned, and given exact instructions thereon. "We have received a copy of instructions sent out to Head Teachers by the Dallas project and, inasmuch as these instructions seem very full and complete, we are attaching a copy'thinking perhaps it might help you in issuing your instructions to your teachers. These are suggestions only and are sent with a view of trying to help you in every way possible to lighten your work in arranging for closing your project.

"No doubt-..you will have qualified teachers whom your School Board may be interested in employing in their regular program and we would suggest that their transcripts be placed with the Personnel Director for the School System. We would also suggestthat the non- professional staff be encouraged to register with the U. S,. Employment Service. If there is any other .information or any other suggestions which w^â&#x20AC;&#x2122; can give you, or if a personal visit from a member of this staff would be of service to you,, please do not hesitate to call on us.

MEETING OF AUGUST 23, 19^5 THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE CITI OF OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, MET IN SPECIAL SESSION IN THE BOARD ROOM, ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, 194-5, AT THREE O'CLOCK P. M.

PRESENT:

Roy J. Turner, President N. L, George, Clerk

J. Wiley Richardson James A. Sinex Ira Williams ABSENT;

Edd L. Hisel

Other officials present: Dr. H. B, Bruner, Superintendent, and Flora W. Penney, Secretary. Absent: W. A. Lybrand, Attorney, Millard E. Prigmore, Auditor, and Geo. H. C. Green, Treasurer.

The minutes of the meetings of August 14- and 20, 19^5» were read and upon motion of Mr. Sinex, seconded by Mr. Williams, were approved as read.

The Superintendent submitted the following report of the Community Fund Committee appointed in conference with Mr. Simpson, Mrs. Prosser and Mr. Evjen of the United Community and War Fund: August 24-, 19^5

The Committee of five elementary and secondary principals, appointed by Dr. Bruner to meet with representatives of the Community Fund for the purpose of discussing the Educational Program offered by the Community Fund to be Used in the public schools of Oklahoma City, voted unanimously in favor of the following recommendations: We are agreed that the children of Oklahoma City should have the opportunity of knowing and appreciating the work of the various agencies represented in the Community Fund. We, therefore, recommend that the elementary and secondary schools of Oklahoma City accept, for use as source materials in the classrooms, the Educational Program prepared by the Community Fund—the materials to be used at any time during the school year for units or activities dealing with the community.

We also recommend, that though any/all rooms of any/all schools may receive voluntary contributions from the students during the annual Community Fund Drives, that no form of sompetitive means for raising these contributions be incorporated into the program by rooms Qr schools during the annual Community Fund drives, and that at no time shall quotas be set up for any rooms or schools. Furthermore, we recommend that only a final combined total Of all school contributions shall be reported by the Community Fund to the public, that is to say, only the total amount contributed shall be announced—omitting reference to any/all rooms or schools by name.

Finally, we recommend that no reference be made by the Community Fund or any schools concerning the amount of money raised by any school during the previous year in planning for any succeeding campaigns. Becuase the National Community Fund has adopted as its emblem the red feather, we suggest that this emblem may be distributed to the students to acquaint them with its meaning and significance but it shall not, at any time, be considered as a reward or badge for contributions.

Respectfully submitted, R. Ben Brown, Chairman Ted Clemens Ed Marshall A. H. Von Tungeln Alta Thomas

Minutes Approved. Report of Community Fund Committee.

MEETING OF AUGUST 23. 194-5 (CONTINUED)

Report on Child. Care Program.

The Superintendent announced that the Nursery Schools, and School Age Center® were being closed out as fast as possible in conformity with the requirements of the FWA at"Fort‘Worth. He has been told, Dr. Bruner said, that the Altrusa Club, and possibly some of the other service clubs were considering asking permission to continue the Child Care Program in some of the schools, without expense to the Board; and it had also been reported that there was a possibility that Congress would make some provision to continue the Child Care services to meet the needs of families of men in the Armed Forces. Dr. Bruner said that further information would be brought back to the Board later. The Superintendent recommended that the War Contract be continued for this year for two reasons: 1.

Our people have not yet returned from the war, but most of them will do so during the present year. We must keep places open for them,

2.

The long-range program demands that we secure the best possible teachers for the future for Oklahoma City and, therefore, we should have an opportunity to make the right kind of selection as judged by the work of the people during the year 194-5-46.' May I state further that any teachers who measure up to the standards we expect in these times need have no fear of their positions.

This recommendation was approved by the Board. Salary Principles Approved.

Adjustment of teachers salaries for 1945-194-6 was discussed. Dr. Hyuner recommended that the Board approve increases of $50.00 for teachers and $100. for principals and administrators who have previously been in the school system, and that teachers who have been receiving less than the new minima be given whatever increase is necessary to bring their salaries to the new minima, $1400.00 for B A degree and $1500.00 for M A degree, and that the new maxima be set at $2J50.00 for B A degree and $2550.00 for M A degree. Mr. Richardson moved that, the recommendation be concurred in and salaries set in accordance with the principles set forth. The motion was seconded by Mr. Williams and upon roll call, carried unanimously.

(Mr. Turner, entered the meeting at this point and took the Chair). Mr. Victor Harlow, President of the Carnegie Library Board addressed the Board concerning the operation of the school branch libraries under a contract entered into in 1923 when it was agreed that the Library Board would pay the salaries of three librarians and the Board of Education would furnish the books, the housing and pay the salary of a cataloguer. Mr. Harlow pointed out that at that time there were three school branches, whereas at the present time there were nine for which the Library Board had been providing librarians and for the past two years or more the Board of Education had not employed a cataloguer. At the present time, Mr. Harlow said, two of the librarians had resigned and there were vacancies at the Roosevelt and Northeast High Schools. He asked specifically that the Board assume the responsibility for. the salaries of two librarians at the standard minimum salary basi of $1630.00 and $1300.00 for the cataloguer. Unless this relief could be provided, Mr. Harlow said, it would be necessary for the Library Board to dis continue the arrangement and close the branches at Roosevelt and Northeast High Schools. Mr. Richardson, who was not present at the initial roll call entered the meeting during the discussion which followed. It was suggested that teqchers with library training be employed by the Board of Education to take charge of these two libraries and the question was raised as to the legality of this procedure and the effect it would have on the future policy of the City in respect to the school branch libraries. Mr. Harlow assured the Board that this arrangement was temporary and would haVe no effect on past or future policy of the City. Following the suggestion of Mr. Hisel this matter of employing teachers' as librarians was referred to Mr. Lybrand who asked for a written statement of facts before giving a final report.

Mr. Sinex moved that the following transfers be approved as recommended by the Superintendent:

There will be issued by this district during the month of November, and possibly during the month of December, additional warrants which must be marked "No Funds Available". The condition of the sinking fund of the district is such that after setting aside cash to pay bonds and interest heretofore matured and maturing, to and Including January 15, 19^6, there will not be cash in the sinking fund sufficient to purchase the above mentioned warrants of this district, which must be as above set out, marked "No Funds Available".. If the $300,000.00 par value United States Treasury Certificates above mentioned and described are sold, this will make available funds in the sinking fund with which the above mentioned warrants can to that amount be purchased by the sinking 'fund, as is provided by law, and thereby effect a material saving to the district.

The disposal of the above mentioned $300»000«°0 par value United States Treasury Certificates, Series E, will be upon the open market and the price of the sale must be par, plus accrued interest to the date of said sale. It is hoped that the market will provide a premium above the above price. The sale will not be a withdrawal direct from the United States Treasury.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Geo. H. C. Green, the Treasurer of the Board of Education &t the City of Oklahoma City, State of Oklahoma, be authorized, empowered and directed to sell upon the open market the United States Treasury Certificates above described, totaling $300,000.00 face, at a price not less than par and accrued interest to the date of the sale, plus such premium as can be obtained, and that the said Geo. H. C. Green, Treasurer, be authorized, empowered and directed to file in his name and on behalf of the district, the necessary application in the proper court for the approval of said sale, and that the said Treasurer be authorized, empowered and directed to do all those things necessary or incident and proper in the accomplishment of the foregoing, and that the attorney for the District be authorized, empowered and directed to do those things neceesary, proper and incident in the accomplishment of the foregoing; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that such proposed sale is for the best interest of the municipality and that the said sale will result in a material financial saving to the district and will avoid the said warrants of the district being in various and sundry hands, and furthermore, the said United States Treasury Certificates, purchased by the sinking fund during a War Loan Drive, are of early maturity and bear but a small rate of interest.

Since it was the intention of the Board to discontinue the Nursery Schools under its sponsorship the 22nd of September, and the teachers had been so notified, Mr. Chas.

MEETING OF OCTOBER 1, L9U5 (Continued) Report of Business Manager on Insurance Program

The following report from the Business Manager to the Superintendent of Schools regarding the insurance program was received and ordered filed:

Dr. H. B. Bruner:

I presented the study of our school property based on Engineering News Record Building Index to you to submit to the Board of Education in its meeting of September 4, 1945. The Board of Education authorized you to have estimated figures on the recommendation I made to you and the Board. I have met with the committee from the Insurer’s Exchange in five or meetings working out a solution for the increased valuation due to the increased building prices. This committee has been most helpful this year, the first year I have been satisfied with their total efforts. They complimented the school administration on setting the E. N. R. Building Index as a yard stick for measuring values which can be a continuous service year by year. They also complimented the school administration on setting up a plan of getting correct records on contents of school buildings and giving a definite depreci ation rate. This project is under way at the present time and will probably be ready for the insurance Committee in September, 1946. This committee also provided contact with the Oklahoma Inspection Bureau, whereby the Business Manager and Supervisor of Buildings, Tom Langford, went over each building with this Bureau studying all the charges due to hazards and poor maintenance. We checked each building and made a list of those charges and formulated a plan to remove each hazard and Improve maintenance. The Inspection Bureau accepted our promise to make these changes and reduced the rates effective in advance.

I. According to the $0% Insurable value figured on the 1945 E.,N. R. Index, $10,636,956 is the amount figured. The amount of insurance carried last year 1945, was $6,069,345« The amount we were underinsured on the E. N. R. basis is $2,567,611. II. The committee convinced me that we could not carry the extended coverage insurance below 80% for the reason that the rate charged for extended coverage below.80% would be more than four times as much as the rate with 80% coinsurance, and the extended coverage premium is about one-half the total premium. III. The Insurance Committee conferred with the Fire Companies Adjustment Bureau who handles losses for the school district. This Bureau agreed to a 10$ reduction on the E. N. R. figures and further agreed that the reduced amount would be in compliance with the co-lnsurance clauses in the policies. This concession, plus reduding the co-insurance from $0% to 80% on the fireproof buildings, reduced the under insurance from $2,567,611 to approximately $500,000.

IV. Under the agreed plan with the committee from the Insuror's Exchange, all the most fire resisting buildings were figured at 80% co-insurance and all others at J0% co-insurance, which reduced an acceptable amount to comply with the co-insurance clauses of $6,566,600 on bui,dings only. Last year the amount of insurance which was due for renewal was $1,700,000, this year the amount due for renewal is $2,105,7^9• This amount, based on our present average rate renewed for the usual five year term would have a premium of $13,166. The increase of approximately $500,000 would cost $725 for one year, making a total of $13,913 for this year’s allotment of insurance on the building and contents. If this increase was written five years in advance in order to obtain the term savings the additional premium would be approximately $2,900 instead of $725, or an estimated outlay for the current year of approximately $16,000 in lieu of approximately $14,000.

In conclusion, the Business Manager, after careful study of the building insurance problems in Oklahoma City, believes that the above is sound and for * economical insurance purposes, and recommends that the amended program be adopted. Signed: N. L. George Business Manager This report was referred back to the Insurance Committee.

Report on Portable Annexes

The following Information was submitted regarding the new portable annexes: ” 12 Units: 7 units at Creston Hills, 1 unit at Capitol Hill Senior High School (Band Room), 2 units at Westwood, and 2 units at Stand Watie are equipped with Cannon Depot Stives which have been converted into gas stoves.

Transite pipe will be installed, as vent pipes in place of the present Texas flue. This transaction‘will meet the requirements of the Fire Inspection Bureau and. reduce the insurance rate 26/ on the $100. This means we save, in insurance, approximately $2.34 per room, each year, whereas, the cost of installation of Transite Pipe is $2.70 per room, and we save the purchase price of twelve additional radiators r- a total of $5^4.00.

Report on Portable Annexes Received and Filed

PROPOSAL FOR MEMORIAL AWARD FOR JANE ANN SLAUGHTER Proposal for Memorial Award for Jane Anne Slaughter

The Jane Anne Slaughter Memorial is proposed to memorialize Jane Anne Slaughter, who, for a number of years, prepared and presented over the radio .a series of stories for Oklahoma City children. Her work was characterized by a high degree of creativeness. Her stories are interwoven throughout with Incidents which in themselves portray desirable behaviour. As a means of perpetuating her contribution, Dr. and Mrs. E. M. Slaughter have proposed an award for creative, story production for seventh grade students in the ten junior high schools of Oklahoma City.

THE AWARD: The award, which Is to c'ontlnue indefinitely, is to be a book, preferably of folk stories or creative short stories, and is to be given to an individual in the 7-k or JB class who best meets satisfactory qualifications in the judgment of representatives of the English and Speech Departments within each school.â&#x20AC;˘

Proposal for Jane Anne Slaughter Award

CONDITIONS OF THE AWARD: The award shall be granted on the following conditions: 1.

Group Production: The award shall be granted on the condition that the speech group with whom the child is working shall present the creative preparation chosen by the judges. . Such presentation may be by radio, (play, skit or story), dramatization, puppet show, pageant, with any of these accompanied by appropriate art and music activity. SUGGESTIONS TO SCHOOLS: 17 Each junior high school may obtain.on request a.brief biography of Jane Anne Slaughter's life and a copy of one of the stories which she used on "Tick-Tock Story Time"- at the Board of Education. 2. It is recommended that some means be devised within each school for recognition of the class or group which presents the story selected as most satisfactory for award. *' 3. Attached is a list representative of books thought appropriate as an award to a student who satisfactorily meets the conditions required. (Being prepared by a group of teachers in the junior high schools.) 4. The person to be awarded may have the opportunity, if it is thought desirable in the local school, to choose one of these books or one of similar nature for the award. The volume selected should not cost more than $3.00.

Permission Requested to Establish a Graduate Study Center in Board of' EducationAnnex

Permission was requested to. make necessary improvements and to add essential furnishings and equipment to the Board of Education annex, for the purpose of using it as a graduate study center. These facilities, if properly equipped and so designated, would be used one evening a week, for the purpose of holding in-service education courses, workshops, and clinics. Facilities would also be used throughout the week and in the summer as a part of the on-going professional activities of the Oklahoma City staff. Three important reasons for making the necessary arrangements in setting up graduate study centers are: 1. It will provide a professional center for courses and extension offerings from the institutions of higher learning. These offerings insofar as they relate to the growth of our own teaching personnel, should be planned to supplement and enrich the backgrounds, understandings and abilities of our teachers. 2. If the graduate study center is established, there is a reasonable expectation that the graduate councils of the higher institutions will recognize credit earned at the center as "residence credit'.' This will make it possible for Oklahoma University to recognize courses offered through the center from A & M College, for example. 3. The curriculum library will be supplemented by professional materials from the two, Institutions in the graduate study center, thus providing an extended professional environment in which our teacher® may work on the improvement of the instructional program.

Proposed course offerings for the second semester to be held in the graduate study center were presented. Also an itemized estimate of the cost of renovating, furnishing and equipping the center in the total amount of $2,023.72.

Permission Granted

Mr. Williams moved that the request be granted subject to inspection of the annex by the members of the Board. the motion was seconded by Mr. Richardson and upon roll call all members present voted "Aye," and the motion was declared to have carried.

Mr. Mace Spangler, Coordinator of On-the-Job Training for Veterans, presented the following report:

Report on On-the-Job Training'

QN-THE-JOB-TRAINING

o

( i

i I

1. The G. I. Bill of Rights (P. L. 3^6) was amended in order to make it possible for a World War II veteran to educate himself while bn the job, so that he can take his place in the business world without being penalized because he was in the Armed Forces and out of contact with the business world for several years/ The veteran may choose On-the-Job Training in place of full-time attendance at school. On-the-Job Training is classified as education in this legislation. The bill provides that the veteran shall be paid and supervised by the Veteran’s Administration but that the training shall be under state control. Since it is education, the Oklahoma State Accrediting Agency feels that the program should operate through the ^Local Board of Education (the agency Responsible for public education).Approximately 5OO business establish-

Report on On-the-Job Training

ments in Oklahoma City have applied for approval as training establishments for On-the-Job Training.1 Of this number approximately 170 have been inspected and approved by the Oklahoma State Accrediting Agency. The Selective Service Board estimates that there willbe over JO,000 veterans returning to Oklahoma City. How many of this number will avail themselves of the On-the-Job Training is of course unknown. However, 25$ should be a very conservative estimate. 2. A Plan of Action has been set up by the State Accrediting Agency which provides for the local Board of Education to be the local agency. If the local Board of Education desires to accept this responsibility a letter should be Written by the school authorities to the State Accrediting Agency indicating a desire to be approved as a training agency.

J•

Brief Outline of Procedures When Operated by the Public Schools. a. b.

4.

Organization of Veterans’ On-the-Job Training Committee All business With training establishments for veterans will now come through the local schools. This includes: (1) Applications for approval of training establishments. (2) Inspection of establishment and preparation of training outline. (J) Approval of establishment by local committee or State Accrediting Agency. (State Accrediting Agency will make inspection in special cases when requested). This committee should be set up very carefully and should not be too large. v 1 (4) Completion of certificate of enrollment for each .yeteran. (5) Dissemination of information about Veteran Training Program to public. (6) Keeping monthly progress records and submitting them to the Veteran’s Administration.

Discussion of Problems Involved. aZ The backlog of approximately JOO applications presents an immediate problem to be solved.. It is suggested that the present force be supplemented with volunteers from the school system, for 'the purpose of making these inspections. b. The program probably will not pay for itself this fiscal year, since the only source of income at present is from classes taught as related training. Action has been started to obtain money for supervision. Due to the fact that all states have the same problem, some action can reasonably be expected next year. If federal aid, is not made available, state action will be necessary. c. There may be' complaints; however, these should not be any more serious than one from John Doe because-his son failed in geometry. The Veteran's Administration places a liberal'interpretation on the bill, the main requirement being thatthe spirit of the law be’ followed.

Williams Designated Board's Representative

The organization of the Veteranls On-the-Job Committee was discussed and Dr. Bruner said that one more meeting would be held with interested organizations, and recommended that, the Committee consist of seven members, two from the Chamber of Commence, two from Veterans organizations, two from ^abor organizations and one from the Board of Education.

Minutes Approved

Mr'. R. E. Bradshaw came before the Board asking reconsideration of the Board's request that he try to obtain the signatures of 51$ of the property owners to the petition to widen Walker Avenue from N.W.4th Street to N.W.lOth Street. Mr. Bradshaw said that the remaining property owners resided outside of Oklahoma and it would be impossible to obtain their signatures except by personal contact. It w ^ls suggested that this project might be taken over by the City and Mr. Bradshaw was told that the Board would take some action later concerning which he would be advised.

Project To Widen Walker Avenue Presented

Mrs., Wilma Lewis, patron of Webster Junior High School, came before the Board asking if the Board proposed to do anything in the way of a safety driving program, and if "behind the wheel" instruction would be given in the high Schools, At Dr. Bruner's request Dr. Rice explained the function of two active committees now- working, one on the evaluation of safety materials and the other on general policies, together with other- safety agencies, for a proposed course on Safety Education in the Summer Workshop.

Request For Safety Program

MEETING OF MARCH 5. 1946 (Continued)

Request For Street Dedication Sequoyah

Miss Josephine Richardson, principal of Sequoyah School, introduced a committee of patrons who came before the Board requesting that the roadway on the East of the School grounds from Eubanks to N.W. 36th Street (Altadena Avenue) be dedicated for Street purposes - In this connection a letter from V.J.Johnso Consulting Engineer was presented informing the Board that a petition had been prepared to pave Altadena Avenue from N. W. 35th Street to N. W. 36th Street but there was no right of way from Eubanks to N. W. 3&th Street and it would be necessary to provide sufficient right of way before the proposed paving could be approved. It appeared that Mr. Jackson, owner of the property on the east had refused to cooperate and it would be necessary, if the street were to be paved, for the Board to provide the entire right of way of ait least 4o or 50 feet. Condemnation of Mr. Jackson's property, by the City, for half of the land required for street purposes was suggested. After full discussion Mr. Richardson moved that the Board of Education stand ready to dedicate the west 25 feet of the north 324.22 feet of Block 7> West Point Addition, for street purposes, if and wherb sufficient land for said street can be obtained and plans made for paving same. Mr. Slnex seconded the motion which carried unanimously upon roll call.

Max Stanfield, acting as spokesman, acknowledged receipt of the letter from Mr. Groege advising that the Board of Education was considering the purchase of Lots 10, 11 and 12, Block 50, Fifth Stockyards Addition, for additional playground for Westwood School. Mr. Stanfield explained the position of the Association, stating that the lots had been acquired for the erection of a Baptist Mission to serve Mexican church members and Mexican families residing in that district; that it was their intention to erect a beautiful building for a very â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nearly regular Baptist program, with little daytime use except for vacation school. Mr. Stanfield further said that if construction was stopped and it becmae necessary to find another location, it would involve a tremendous loss. Lists of Mexican church members and fami-, lies residing within a 3/4 mile radius were presented.

After full discussion, Mr. Williams moved that the Superintendent be instruct- Referred ed to investigate before the next Board meeting and see what the need is as to Supt. far as the school is concerned, based on the present play area and whether the mission would be detrimental to the school, and not on the controversy involved. The motion was seconded by Mr. Richardson and carried. Mr. Ralph V. Miller, Dean of Boys at Central High School, came before the Board in the interest of clarifying the matter of a protest by veterans of tuition charges for accelerated courses at Central High School, as reported in the press.

ABSENT:

Roy J. Turner, President

Other officials present: Dr. H. B. Bruner, Superintendent, W. A. Lybrand, Attorney, John W. Prigmore, Auditor, and Flora W. Penney, Secretary. Absent: Geo. H. C. Green, Treasurer. Dr. Bruner made a brief report on the progress of the work of Dr. Ellsbree, stating that meetings had been held with representative groups, classroom teachers, principals, co-ordinators, secretaries and custodians,, and with Mr. Prigmore from time to time, and all requests had been considered. Basic principles had been arrived at and would be brought before an allemployee meeting at Classen High School on the following Monday.

Work of Dr. Ellsbree Outlined by Supt.

Dr. Ellsbree said that while no final schedule on equalization of salaries had been set up, the first step would be equalization as far as possible within funds as they become available for this purpose, and credit for outside experience, up to a certain point. In order to carry outfthe plan for the elimination of all inequalities it would be necessary to have more money next year.

Report by Dr. Ellsbre

The second step, Dr. Ellsbree said, was the application of the interim salary schedule for two years, based on the 194-5-46 and 1946-47 surplus; and third, a permanent schedule to be put into effect in 1947-43, depending upon the actual revenue becoming available for salaries.

The following letter from Mr. Lybrand received in answer to questions as to the application of a formula for adjustment of teacher's salaries was read; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma March 22, 1946

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE CITY OF OKLAHOMA CITY:

Gentlemen:

As I understand it, you contemplate making a salary schedule. This will be a formula and will treat teachers in defined clases or groups and will not name any specific individual. One of the elements of the formula will be that it shall not be applied so as to reduce any teacher's present salary. Your first question is: year and the coming yea.r?

Can this be applied to both the present fiscal

My answer to this question is "yes". You are just ascertaining "amount available for payment of teachers* salaries" for this year. By a properly worded resolution, you can "adjust and revise" the contracts of the present year so that teachers will be paid for the present year the "adjusted and revised salary" instead of the "tentative salary" set up in the contract. NOTE: The resolution providing for this "adjustment and revision" must be carefully drawn.

You have also asked me whether you can include moneys made available after May 24, 1946 (the termination date of the contract) in this revision of salaries.

My answer to you is "yes" but this must be carefully done and a provision inserted that the increase shall be paid only so far as funds are available.

Lybrand Outlines Application of Salary Formula

MEETING OF MARCH 22 (Continued.)

Lybrand. Outlines Application of Salary Formula

There must be a provision as to how the increases shall be cut down if funds are not available.. It would probably be best to provide for a payment May 24 equal to funds then on hand, with a provision for a payment on June 30 of such proportion of the balance as funds on hand are then available.

Signed:

Estimates of Surplus for 194-5-46

Very truly yours, W. A. Lybrand

(Mr. Williams entered the meeting at this time.)

The motion was seconded by Mr. Sinex, and upon roll call all members present voted ”Aye" and the motion was declared to have carried.

RecommendaThere was further discussion with Dr. Ellsbree and the Superintendent and the following tentative recommendations were made: tions of Supt. and Dr. Ellsbree That the minium and maximum salaries for teachers be set as follows: Minimum

At that time the amount was approved for $97^-12 but since labor and materials were both too high and scarce, nothing, further had been done..Mr. Robinson stated that there was at present $1556.30 in the Memorial Fund and they anticipated $200.00 more would be added to the fund this Spring. Permission was requested to purchase an electric organ, installed in the auditorium, at an estimated cost of $1750«00- Upon motion of Mr. Williams, seconded by Mr. Sinex, the Clerk of the Board was instructed to advertise for bids for the electric organ and report back to the Board.

MEETING OF APRIL 1 (Continued) commercial rate for educational institutions is $93.56 for 14" machines and for instructional use $77.00. The Administration is reliably informed that there is going to be an increase in these prices. b. There is now on hand $10,173-93 with which to buy new typewriters for the white schools and $121.60 for the separate schools. c. The Office of Price Administration will permit us to advertise and sell the typewriters for about two-thirds of the selling price which will average about $30 per machine if sold in the rough and approximately $40 per machine if sold as reconditioned..

d. If we take the first proposition at $30 each, we could trade approximately 250 typewriters for white schools and 3 for the separate schools.

Approved

After discussion Mr. Sinex moved that the Board authorize the purchase of 200 new typewriters and advertise and sell 200 old typewriters at the close of the school year. Mr. Williams seconded the motion which carried unanimously upon roll call.

The following reports were received and ordered filed: Territory West of Portland Avenue Annexed.

This automatically places these territories within the Oklahoma City School District. It seems almost imperative to establish a primary school in this area to relieve Linwood School.

Report of Auction

Austin, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church,for permission to hold a state-wide church school for Sunday School pupils in the Orchard Park School Building May ?$.to June 1, inclusive. The request had been refused for the reason that thâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;e Constitution of the State of Oklahoma expressly prohibits the use of public property for religious purposes. Mr. Perry presented, in support of his request, a copy of Section 93> from School Laws of Oklahoma, 1941, authorizing district boards to "open school houses for the use of religious, political, literary, scientific, mechanical or agricultural societies belonging to their districts for holding public meetings of such societies under.such regulaticns as the board may adopt."

A letter was presented from H. J. Darcey, Chief Engineer-Director, State Bureau of Sanitary Engineering, in answer to a question raised regarding the possibility of using a single vacuum breaker on the main water line to a battery of water closets rather than using a vacuum breaker for each fixture, quoting the following section taken from the Proposed American Standard Plumbing Code, which it was hoped to adopt as a state standard:

Informatior to the Board Vacuum Breakers

"The Supply lines or fittings for every plumbing fixture, shall be installed so as to provide an air gap or shall be equipped with backflow preventers, as prescribed in American Standards Association AUO.4 19U2 or A40.6 I9U3."

The interpretation of this section was that each fixture would require the use of a vacuum breaker, and for that reason it was recommended that this policy be followed in the remodeling program in the Oklahoma City school buildings. A proposal for furnishing and installing an air recovery system for the visual education room at Webster Junior High School, referred to the Business office to check details, was submitted by Loeffler Green,Supply Company, in the amount of $526.00 with the understanding that if tne equipment after six months does not maintain a satisfactory air condition, it would be removed and no obligation incurred by the Board.

Utmost care must be given to the selection of those teachers whose services are to be continued beyond the probationary period.

All teachers who are not to be reemployed shall be notified of this fact not ; later than May 15, 194-6. (Hereafter not later than April 1.) Teachers who have not completed their probationary period shall be offered a j prabation contract if their services are satisfactory. i Special supervision should be given to those teachers on probation contracts ’ in order that they may qualify for a regular contract at the expiration of their probationary period. j The services of a teacher are to be continued for another year unless he or she is notified not later than May 15, 194-6, to the contrary. Reelection notices will not be necessary under this provision.

Dr.,H. B. Bruner, Superintendent Oklahoma City Schools Dear Dr. Bruner:

j

From time to time, the Public Schools Committee of the Oklahoma City Insurors Exchange has discussed with you the meand by which our organization might effectively assist in forwarding education in safety and fire prevention. We are especially pleased with the thorough manner in which this problem was approached and the way you delegated ipany very thoughtful people to work on it. Mr. Rollin Baird, chairman of this committee, reports that the work of your groups has been completed and that plans have been drafted to put the program into effect. We understand that Mr. Lonnie Gilliland has been appointed to lead this work.

Accidents continue to take a deadly and costly toll. Fires continue to destroy property values with increasing frequency. Both are very largely preventable. Certainly it is high time to begin a comprehensive program of safety education and fire prevention. It seems appropriate to start this effort among the children of Oklahoma City in our public schools.

Accordingly, and in harmony with our discussions on this.subject, Oklahoma City Insuror's Exchange has appropriated the sum of $1,000 per year as its contribution to this program. Our fiscal year ends September JOth. As you know, we have already advanced a portion of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriation for the purchase of materials and texts in development of courses of study. In general,the administration of this fund is in your hands.

Very cordially yours Signed:

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, on July 30, 1945, this Board adopted the following

Resolution; "It is impossible, prior to the opening of the Oklahoma City schools to ascertain with any degree of certainty the amount of money that will be available for the payment of teachers’ salaries. * For that reason the salaries in the contracts entered into with teachers is made a tentative salary and is subject to revision, up or down, depending upon the funds available for the payment of teachers’ salaries.

"This fixing of the permanent salary shall be made as . soon as it is ascertained what funds are available, "It is not Intended that in revising to a fixed sadk’y that the revision will be made individually as to the individual teacher, but that the revision will be ? * uniform in the sense that it will be according to a plan for revision to be made by the Board. It is contemplated that as to certain types and certain Classes of teachers, there will probably be no revisioii or not material revision from the tentative salary."

WHEREAS, the above Resolution was adopted prior to the time any teacher’s contract was entered into for the present school year, and was

made public to the prospective teachers before any of them signed contracts for the present year, and was the outgrowth of long study and was

to meet the almost impossible situation existing and was an attempt to be as fair to teachers as possible and to enable the. Board to obtain teachers in the war emergency; and, WHEREAS, the situation grew out of the rules of law and war conditions, and the Board was finding it difficult to obtain teachers

for schools and impossible to obtain the quality of teachers required at

any positive and definite figure the Board could, under the law, offer; and, as a matter of fact no definite salary could then be set in any con$tract because the estimate of the Board had not been approved and payment

of any salary set must be made subject to estimates thereafter to be ap-| proved; and, any such salary so set would be tentative; and, it was known

that the estimate of the Board would not be (and in fadlt it was not)

approved by the Excise Board until long after school opened in September;

and teachers must be employed at once and before the opening of school; and,

i

-2teachers, prospective teachers and the Board were dis<

* WHEREAS

satisfied because no definite schedule of teachers’ salaries had been

adopted, and the Board deemed it necessary for the best interests of

the district that such salary schedule be adopted &s sooi^

possible during

tije fiscal year, and deemed it necessary for the best int

ts of the dis**

trict that teachers receive, as nearly as possible, up to

salaries fixed

in such schedule frdm funds becoming properly available therefor during the

1

fiscal year; andj

WHEREAS, to meet the situation the Board represented to prospe^

tive teachers that the Board would, during the year, adopt a schedule of ( w

salaries and wotlld place in contracts a tentative salary and wouW, before the close of the fiscal year, ascertain and request the appropriate:n of * all district funds

s’

which it deemed available therefor to the Teachers’

Salary Fund; and that the difference between the total of that fund and the

total of the tentative Salaries would be paid to those teachers whose

tentative salaries Were less than their scheduled salaries *

-rata * pro

on the ’’differential” between the figure placed in each contract and

schedule salary * * WHEREAS

as shown in such schedule; and *

all of the foregoing was made known to prospective

teachers and was intended by the Board to be and was relied Upon by such < teachers who thereafter .signed contracts, and, WHEREAS, the above mentioned salary schedule was adopted

May

6th______, 1946, and .is *

'

the salary schedule mentioned herein as

schedule or hew salary schedule which salary schedule was arrived at after the most careful study that could be given to it by the members of the Board and its officers and employees and after full conference and consultation with the teachers and with experts on the subject, which

schedule provides a method for arriving at the ’’differential" of each

person concerned8hereunder, and which salary schedule is made a part of this Resolution by reference^ and, WHEREAS, "teachers” and wiitaff" as used in. this Resolution means and is intended to mean not only classroom teachers but all those persons

-3who signed, printed employment contracts providing for assignment of the

person in the system; and,

WHEREAS, it was intended that all such persons should sign printed form of contract denominating the sal&ry figure therein as tenta *

tive and providing for revision to a fixed annual salary when amount available and payment of teachers ’ salaries is ascertained, so aS to ex~ < ■

press the intent and agreement of the parties, but in printing the contracts| •

for those employed on more than a nine-months’ basis, the word ’’tentative"

and the above mentioned provision for revision to a fixed salary were omitted by inadvertence which inadvertence was not discovered until long after the contracts had been signed; and,

WHEREAS, the Resolution above quoted and the

involved was

adopted only after careful consideration and investigati® of the law and this plan is now and was at the time of the above Resolatlpn, in the con-

sidered opinion of the Board, the only means by which the

d could ob *

tain anything like a satisfactory staff or could obtain a full staff for

the schools for the present year, and, also, it was the only plan which could be anything like fair to the loyal staff in the schools in this time

of increased costs of living;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVER by the Board of Education of the City of Oklahoma City, State of Oklahomai

That at the time the total funds of the district are ascertained

(on or about June 20» 1946); that the Board ascertain the amount of money

(in addition to the amount necessary to pay the total salaries set forth in such outstanding contracts of the district), which in the opinion of t: ■

the Board, considering the

best interests of the district, is av'Jbhble

for the payment of teachers’ salaries and that said sum so ascertained and appropriated is hereby ordered to be paid ratably to those teachers of the district whose salaries set forth in their teachers’ contrats are less than ■ the amount such teachers would be entitled to receive under the new salary

schedule above mentioned; that said payment be made ratably among §^h teachers, based and computed upon the "differential" of each such person

-Aunder the salary schedule above mentioned; provided, however, no payment shall be made to any teacher hereunder which wduld pay to any teacher more

than such teacher would be entitled to receive under the new salary schedule; and, provided further, nothing herein shall cause any teacher to receive less than the amount of the annual salary set forth in such teacher s *

present contract; andÂť
