Dr. Chris Reynolds asked Mr. Mike Harlan to introduce his new assistant principal.  Mr. Harlan introduced Mr. Bucky Bates, the candidate selected to fill the assistant principal position at Granite Mountain Middle School by a five member committee.  He noted that they had 20 very highly qualified applicants, with eight applicants being interviewed.

 

Mr. Bucky Bates stated that he was pleased to accept the challenge of this position and that he was looking forward to becoming a member of the team at GMMS.  He noted that he had attended the administrative retreat and had really felt welcomed. 

 

          Dr. Joan Fleming voted aye, Mrs. Dee Navarro voted aye, Mr. TomStaley voted aye, Mr. Steve Campbell voted aye, and President Newton voted aye.  The motion carried 5-0.

          Mrs. Dee Navarro moved that the Governing Board approve the selection of Dr. Susan Fahrni as Assistant Principal at Prescott High School.  Mr. Steve Campbell seconded the motion.

 

Mrs. Totsy McCraley introduced Dr. Susan Fahrni and noted that the high school had a number of very highly qualified applicants and was very fortunate to find someone like Dr. Fahrni to fill the position.  She stated that they were very pleased that she would be joining the team.

          Dr. Joan Fleming voted aye, Mrs. Dee Navarro voted aye, Mr. Tom Staley voted aye, Mr. Steve Campbell voted aye, and President Newton voted aye.  The motion carried 5-0.

 

CONSIDER APPROVING THE ADDENDUM TO THE COOPERATIVE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH ASPIN/MOHAVE

 

          Mr. Steve Campbell moved that the Governing Board approve the addendum to the Cooperative Purchase Agreement with Aspin/Mohave.  Dr. Joan Fleming seconded the motion.

 

Mrs. Barbara Van Fossen noted that the district has been with this co-op for several years now and we just get a better deal from them.  She noted that nothing has changed on this agreement, other than they just condensed it.

 

          Dr. Joan Fleming voted aye, Mrs. Dee Navarro voted aye, Mr. Tom Staley voted aye, Mr. Steve Campbell voted aye, and President Newton voted aye.  The motion carried 5-0.

 

CONSIDER APPROVING THE DES (DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC SECURITY) CONTRACT

 

          Dr. Joan Fleming moved that the Governing Board approve the Department of Economic Security contract.  Mr. Steve Campbell seconded the motion.

 

Mrs. Mary Anne Kapp noted that this was a continuation grant and that the district had entered into a collaboration with DES in the 1980’s.  She went on to say that the Board was voting on the grant because it has doubled in size after the evaluation.  She noted that the grant provides for services for youth and families from higher poverty levels.

 

Mr. Steve Campbell asked, how do they access the services?  Mrs. Kapp responded that Miller Valley School has been targeted for those students and that the district contracts services through a private counselor with students participating on an “as need” basis.

 

Dr. Joan Fleming asked, is this with parental permission?  Mrs. Kapp responded, yes, and it’s not a long-term agreement.  She added that if a student has need for long-term services they would then be referred to West Yavapai Guidance Clinic.

 

Mr. Staley asked how the students were identified.  Mrs. Kapp responded, through families, teachers, and sometimes Child Study Services.

 

Mr. Campbell asked, can children from other schools access these services?  Mrs. Kapp responded, typically only Miller Valley students, but we talked to DES about students from other schools that may want services and we have been able to provide services to other students through DES and NAHRBA.  She noted that Miller Valley is the only school that receives scheduled services.

 

          Dr. Joan Fleming voted aye, Mrs. Dee Navarro voted aye, Mr. Tom   Staley voted aye, Mr. Steve Campbell voted aye, and President   Newton voted aye.  The motion carried 5-0.

 

CONSIDER APPROVING THE REALLOCATION OF $18,000 OF GRANITE MOUNTAIN MIDDLE SCHOOL’S LOWER 40 301 MONEY TO HIRE A HALF-TIME (.5 FTE) TEACHING POSITION ENTITLED “ODYSSEY/COMPUTER ASSISTANT INSTRUCTOR”

 

          Dr. Joan Fleming moved that the Governing Board approve the reallocation of $18,000 of Granite Mountain Middle School’s Lower 40 301 money to hire a half-time (.5 FTE) teaching position entitled “Odyssey/Computer Assistant Instructor.”  Mr. Steve Campbell    seconded the motion.

 

Mr. Mike Harlan reported that at the end of the 2003-04 school year he had requested the Board to allow him to be creative with a half-time counselor and half-time teacher position in the CAI Lab.  He noted that David Hunt is the person that filled both of those positions.  He stated that he was now coming to the Board to ask if he could add another half-time teacher position for Odyssey so that there would be the equivalent of a full-time teacher in the lab.  He stated that he is proposing not spending $38,000 on professional development, but instead spending $18,000 for another half-time position in the CAI Lab, which would fulfill his vision to have a fulltime teacher in that lab, where there is a student need.  He added that this request meets the criteria for 301 funding in that it will be for AIMS intervention which leads to improvement for the students.

 

Mr. Harlan introduced Mr. David Hunt, the half-time teacher.  Mr. Hunt distributed a folder to Board members regarding his program and told them about the gains that have been made through this program.    He noted that he has worked with 45-52 students this year in this program.  He went on to say that these are students that were failing in the traditional sense.  He noted that he had hoped to save between 10-15% of these students and reported that all 100% of those students are now passing.  He noted that it has been an incredible marriage by putting the teaching and counseling position together.  He reported that he identified 104 students that would benefit from the program, but was only able to help half of them

 

Mr. Staley asked, if we approve this, you could help those other students that were identified instead of just half of them?  Mr. Hunt responded, we would double those contact hours. 

 

Mr. Campbell asked, how would adding science make it possible?  Mr. Harlan responded that Mr. Hunt would move from being a math/language teacher to just a math teacher and the new position would add language and science.  He noted that this would increase the capacity from 50 students to between 70-90 students.

 

Mr. Staley asked, what’s the size of Odyssey?  Mr. Hunt responded, between 16-20.

 

Dr. Newton responded, that sounds like a wonderful opportunity to reach all those students.  He then asked, if you’re taking $18,000 out of your budget, how will that affect professional development and staff development?  Mr. Harlan responded, last year we had $26,000 for professional development, of which I only spent about one-half, so it would still be $7,000 more than we had last year.

 

Mr. Staley stated, you have spoken eloquently regarding professional development and you have now reduced your budget for professional development, so I’m hearing that you’re not quite as passionate about professional development.  Mr. Harlan responded, I’m equally passionate about both.  He noted that he has outlined those professional development activities and that he would be receiving some funding from Title II to help with subs, books and professional development.  He noted that he has more than just one passion.  He added that he was confident that the professional development time would make a difference.

 

Mr. Staley noted, that’s 47% of your professional development budget.  Mr. Harlan responded, I had $26,000 last year and only used $13,000 with some carry-over, so I will have more to spend on professional development from last year and only $6,000 less than last year – it’s not really a 47% decrease. 

 

Dr. Fleming asked, your overall passion is for student achievement?  Mr. Harlan responded, I’m looking at student learning.

 

Mrs. Dee Navarro stated that she did not like putting positions back into 301 funding.  She suggested that the Board look at the “old” sudden growth money.

 

President Newton noted, he has plenty of money – he just wants to reallocate it.

 

Mrs. Navarro reminded the Board that one of their goals was to move people out of 301 funding.

 

Dr. Fleming stated that she believed that sudden growth money was just as “iffy” as 301 monies and suggested looking at getting it out of 301 next year.

 

Mrs. Renee Raskin noted that there is $71,000 in sudden growth money.

 

Mr. Staley stated that the second point he wanted to make was that last year we had eight professional development days and this year we have more than that, which means there will be a greater expense and you may not have enough budgeted for staff development.

 

Mr. Harlan responded, I believe that one of the things we’re attempting to do is create professional learning communities and we hope to utilize training from these professional learning communities, which we hope will not cost us as much money. 

 

Mrs. Dorrean Walker addressed the Governing Board and stated that while she applauded Mr. Harlan’s efforts on this program, she had concerns that every year we try to find a way to take personnel out of 301 and get into M & O, so if it could be put into M & O now, that would be great.

 

          Dr. Joan Fleming voted aye, Mrs. Dee Navarro voted nay, Mr. Tom Staley voted nay, Mr. Steve Campbell voted aye, and President Newton voted aye.  The motion carried 3-2.

 

CONSIDER APPROVING THE USE OF APPROXIMATELY $21,000 OF CURRENT (2004-2005) SUDDEN GROWTH MONEY TO HIRE AN ADDITIONAL ONE-DAY MUSIC TEACHER (.20 FTE), ONE-DAY P.E. TEACHER (.20 FTE), AND A ONE-DAY ART TEACHER (.20 FTE) AT MILLER VALLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO PROVIDE INSTRUCTION TO THE NEW SECOND AND FIFTH GRADE CLASSES

          Mrs. Dee Navarro moved that the Governing Board approve the use of approximately $21,000 of current (2004-2005) sudden growth money to hire an additional one-day music teacher (.20 FTE), one-day P.E. teacher (.20 FTE), and a one-day art teacher (.20 FTE) at Miller Valley Elementary School to provide instruction to the new second and fifth grade classes.  Dr. Joan Fleming seconded the      motion.

         

Dr. Chris Reynolds reported that because we added two classrooms, we don’t have enough service capacity to serve those new students, so this would satisfy those new classes with the same amount of services as the other students.  He went on to say that we have a teacher that is doing .80 who may apply to become fulltime.

 

Mr. Staley asked, would we discuss this with our present folks?  Dr. Reynolds responded, absolutely.  Mr. Staley suggested that we should use those people that are already there.  Dr. Reynolds noted that we can only use those people that are not currently fulltime.  Mr. Staley stated that he was concerned about finding someone for that small amount of time.

 

Mr. Staley noted that this would be paid for out of sudden growth money – “old growth” – and we have $71,000 left and asking for $21,000 for this proposal.  He then asked, do we have the numbers for next year?  Mr. Kapp responded, the elementary schools are tight and indications are that we will increase very much at that level.

 

Mr. Staley asked, do we have an estimate of what sudden growth will be based on past years?  Mr. Kapp responded that it has been around $600,000 each year.

 

Mrs. Navarro asked, so we will get sudden growth monies next year?  Mr. Kapp responded, I expect that we will get sudden growth monies based on the numbers.

 

President Newton commented that last year most of the growth was at the elementary level and that’s why we need these people now.

 

Dr. Fleming asked, and we’d still have $50,000 of sudden growth money?  Mrs. Raskin responded, yes.

 

          Dr. Joan Fleming voted aye, Mrs. Dee Navarro voted aye, Mr. Tom Staley voted aye, Mr. Steve Campbell voted aye, and President  Newton voted aye.  The motion carried 5-0.

 

CONSIDER APPROVING ANOTHER SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR SECRETARIAL SUPPORT AS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED WITHIN THE PROPOSAL SUBMITTED BY MR. ARN LAVINGTON AND MR. JAY COLLIER

Mr. Steve Campbell requested that discussion take place before any motion is made.

Mr. Campbell asked, where is the money coming from? 

 

Mr. Kapp responded, last month the Board approved a proposal.  Currently, we have one full-time secretary serving half-time in maintenance and half-time in transportation. The Board added one fulltime secretary so that both maintenance and transportation will each have a fulltime secretary.  He noted that he had checked with the School Facilities Board and they said using building renewal money was not a good idea.  Since then, I got another update that the attorney general agrees with the SFB’s assessment that building renewal money should not be used for secretarial support.  He noted that the request is whether the Board wants to replace that money through some other source. 

 

Mr. Staley stated that the Board approved an increase of half-time for the Facilities Director and the purchasing secretary went from 6 to 8 hours.

 

Mr. Jay Collier stated that transportation has been a real challenge and that he usually doesn’t get the services of the transportation secretary.  He stated that he has come to the conclusion that it’s not really feasible to share a secretary, so I am requesting my half of Robin goes to the transportation department to give them a fulltime secretary.  He stated that he was requesting a fulltime secretary with half of the salary to be paid out of building renewal and the other half to be paid out of bond money.  He stated that he was requesting that the Board either grant him the half-time secretary or allow him to hire a full-time person if funding is available.  He noted that if that’s not possible, he could live with a half-time position from the bond money.

 

Mrs. Navarro asked, if you get a fulltime person paid for by half coming from the bond and half coming from somewhere else, when the bond is gone, where will that money come from?  Mr. Collier responded, we’d have to figure that out then, but if we’re picking up all these extra buildings, I think I could warrant keeping a fulltime secretary.

 

Mr. Staley noted that there is an increased amount of work due to the bond and that Jay and Arn have been coordinating that and have said that with the extra work, they need extra help.  He stated that what was approved by the Board was just a half-time secretary.

 

Mr. Collier stated that he was not clear enough in communicating to the Board what the needs were.  He noted that the Board needs to decide whether he can have a half-time or fulltime person, and if he only gets a half-time person, so be it. He commented that his frustration comes from the fact that he wants to run his department to the maximum and he can’t do that without a fulltime secretary.

 

Mr. Staley noted that right now, Mr. Cowan and Mr. Collier both share a secretary.

 

Mr. Campbell stated that he felt that the transportation department should keep their half-time secretary and give Mr. Collier a fulltime secretary.

 

Mr. Staley asked, how do we pay for it?  Dr. Reynolds responded, it’s just a funding source – we would fund half through bond money.

 

Mr. Campbell stated that the question is - are we going to take $5,000 from sudden growth money?

 

Mr. Tom Staley moved that the Governing Board approve the expenditure of old sudden growth money in the amount of $5,000 to fund the second half of the total of $10,000 for the half-time secretary that we are adding for Mr. Collier.  Mr. Steve Campbell seconded the motion.

 

Dr. Fleming stated that she would like to amend the motion.

 

          Dr. Joan Fleming moved that the Governing Board approve the expenditure of old sudden growth money of approximately $5,000 to fund the second half of the total of $10,000 for the half-time        secretary that we are adding for Mr. Collier.  Mr. Steve Campbell seconded the motion.

 

President Newton called for the vote on the amended motion.

 

          Dr. Joan Fleming voted aye, Mrs. Dee Navarro voted aye, Mr. Tom Staley voted aye, Mr. Steve Campbell voted aye, and President Newton voted aye.  The motion carried 5-0.

 

President Newton called for the vote on the original motion.

 

          Dr. Joan Fleming voted aye, Mrs. Dee Navarro voted aye, Mr. Tom Staley voted aye, Mr. Steve Campbell voted aye, and President Newton voted aye.  The motion carried 5-0.

 

CONSIDER REVIEWING AND ADOPTING POLICY SERVICES ADVISORY, VOLUME 17, NUMBER 2, FOR JUNE 2005, REGARDING POLICY ADVISORY NUMBER 247

Mr. Kapp reported that the ASBA updates our policy book based on legislation.  He noted that two years ago we had to go to a new inventory system and now ASBA has sent out the rest of the story on how we are supposed to use that system.

 

Dr. Fleming suggested voting on this item in August in order to have the required two readings.

 

It was agreed to add this item to the August agenda for voting purposes. 

APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA

President Newton asked if there were any items on the Consent Agenda the Board wished to discuss or vote on separately. 

 

Mr. Tom Staley stated that he’d like to pull out item number 10 and 11 to discuss separately. 

 

Mr. Staley noted that under the personnel report there are names that we are employing folks with a replacement status.  Dr. Reynolds responded, yes. 

 

Mr. Staley asked, were these positions posted?  Dr. Reynolds responded, yes.

 

Mr. Staley asked, on the second page, were those positions posted?  Dr. Reynolds responded, yes.

 

Mr. Staley asked, those designated as third party – were they posted?  Dr. Reynolds responded, no – those are a funding source situation – folks who worked for us last year, we maintained employment with them, we just changed the funding source through a third party.

 

Mr. Staley asked, are these new positions?  Dr. Reynolds responded, no.  He noted that these are retirees or people that took advantage of the buyout.

 

Mr. Staley asked, and they were rehired on the recommendation from the principal?  Dr. Reynolds responded, yes.

 

Mr. Staley asked, any thought to opening those positions?  You may have found better people.  Dr. Reynolds responded, no.

 

Mr. Staley noted that he takes an alternate position to that practice.

 

Regarding item number 11, he asked, we got a $40,000 donation?  Mrs. Raskin responded, yes for Abia Judd.

 

Mr. Staley asked, where does that money go?  Mrs. Raskin responded, gifts and donations, which is not in the regular budget.

 

Mr. Staley asked, how will it be spent? Are there restrictions?  Mrs. Raskin responded, the donor asked for a “wish list” from the principal and then the donor gave the school the money.

 

Mr. Staley asked, that type of money has no restrictions?  Mrs. Raskin responded, only from the donor.

 

          Mr. Steve Campbell moved that the Governing Board approve the Consent Agenda as presented.  Dr. Joan Fleming seconded the motion.

 

          Dr. Joan Fleming voted aye, Mrs. Dee Navarro voted aye, Mr. Tom Staley voted aye, Mr. Steve Campbell voted aye, and President   Newton voted aye.  The motion carried 5-0.
