SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT

Mr. Kevin Kapp reported that the remediation held during fall break for K-8 students was very successful.  He noted that the district was hoping to have 30 participants and ended up having 87 participants, with 47 from the middle school level and 40 from the elementary school level.  He stated that the program ran 21/2 hours every morning for five days at Miller Valley and Granite Mountain, using the Odyssey software.  The students targeted were those students who were at the edge of meeting the standards.

 

Mr. Kapp reported that Kids & Co. had an enrollment of 71 students, the preschool had 7 students, and regular child care had 153 students (20 over last year) during the fall break.   

 

He noted that the high school did not have a remediation session this year, but are planning some for the future.  He also reported that those students participating in the remediation program loved the Odyssey software program.

 

Dr. Newton asked what made the difference between this year and last.  Mr. Kapp responded that maybe it was the letter that was sent home signed by both he and Marianne Brooks, when last spring we just let teachers recommend students.  He noted that the free transportation and tuition also helped.

 

Mr. Kapp announced that the district is planning a remediation program during the winter break for K-12 to run the Monday through Thursday before Christmas.  He noted that Mr. Don German already has two math teachers willing to teach math for the program.  He added that the same program would be offered this year during the second week of spring break fro K-12.  He noted that publicity for both remediation sessions would take place very early. 

 

Mr. Kapp noted that school labels were out and that individuals can check school labels for all schools in Arizona by going to the Arizona Department of Education website.  He reported that our district has three schools that are Excelling (Abia Judd, Granite Mountain and Mile High); three schools Highly Performing (Prescott High School, Taylor Hicks and Lincoln) and two schools Performing (Miller Valley and Washington).  He noted that Prescott High School was the only high school in the tri-city area with a Highly Performing label.  The other high schools in the area were labeled Performing.  He noted that out of the 133 schools in Arizona that received Excelling labels, three were from our district.

 

Mr. Kapp announced that the Governor would be visiting the Dexter Family Resource Center next week on October 26th and distributed invitations to board members and the media.  He noted that the Governor would be presenting a literacy grant check to Youth Counts and the district for training ten Ameri Corp volunteers to help with reading and that they in turn would recruit ten more volunteers each to train.

 

He noted that the Second Annual Tri-City Student Showcase would be taking place on October 30th at the Yavapai College Performance Hall.  He noted that this was a wonderful, cooperative venture between the three school districts with the middle school students performing in the afternoon and the high school students performing in the evening.  He noted that the Valentine family was underwriting this activity again this year and that all proceeds would be divided equally among the three school district’s music programs.

 

Mr. Kapp announced that he and the Board President have talked about scheduling a mid-year planning session like last year and that the tentative date would be Wednesday, January 26, 2005

 

Dr. Chris Reynolds reported that the calendar surveys have all been returned and that he would present the results to the Board at the November 2nd Board meeting.

 

OPEN CALL TO THE PUBLIC

 

          Mr. Steve Campbell moved that the Governing Board approve the   temporary suspension of Board Policy BEHD as per Board Policy BGF for this meeting only, and conduct an open call to the public.       Dr. Andy Newton seconded the motion.    

 

Dr. Andy Newton voted aye, Mr. Steve Campbell voted aye, Dr. Joan Fleming voted aye and President Navarro voted aye. The motion carried 4-0.

 

President Navarro noted that there would be a three minute time limit for each speaker and asked that speakers not repeat the same information.

 

Ms. Juli Dalton addressed the Governing Board and stated that she has three sons attending schools in the district and that they were adversely affected by the calendar.  She stated that she felt her position has not been heard, that she has sent two letters to the Board that have gone unanswered.  She stated that she felt the survey was vague and incomplete.  She requested that the Board appoint a calendar committee with individuals from all affected areas:  parents, teachers, faculty, students, organizations, etc.

 

President Navarro reminded the audience that the Board cannot respond to any comments made during the open call to the public.

 

Mr. Eric Bewley addressed the Governing Board on behalf of the Badger Football Boosters representing the community of Prescott, families with children in the district and student athletes.  He made four requests on behalf of the above listed entities:  1) That an open discussion be held in the evening about the present calendar with an open forum setting with a committee of representatives from the administration, teachers, coaches, maintenance personnel, parents, students and any other qualified individuals to hear the issues concerning the calendar.  He noted that the objective committee should be comprised of citizens who can assess objectively the comments presented and prepare the results for public viewing; 2) that a proper survey be re-taken with all options for the future calendar with an option to return to a traditional calendar.  He noted that the past board president had stated that if the current schedule was not favored, “we could always go back to the original calendar.”  He stated that the results of a more intricate study should be studied by the objective committee requested in #1 and that stipend employees such as maintenance and food service workers should be included in the circle of surveyed audience; and 3) That full financial data comparing the cost differences between the last traditional year 2002 and modified calendar year 2003 should be available to the public immediately before the November 2004 election, for the tax payers and parents to see the cost effectiveness and the financial impact on the Prescott community.  He stated that this analysis should include the cost of the daycare, payroll and expenses of the district during the intercession week, and also include the number of students enrolled and the number of students successfully passing the intercession classes; and 4) That Mr. Paul Street be invited to attend the open forum and view the results of the study by the objective committee.

 

Mrs. Carol Yetman addressed the Governing Board and stated that she was a second grade teacher from Abia Judd who felt that the current calendar affects the children of the district.  She suggested that the Board should always ask, “What’s best for the kids?” before making any decisions.  She stated that she felt the issue of the calendar needed to be evaluated and how it affects learning.  She stated that she was disappointed that there was no room on the survey for comments and that the calendar needed to be professionally evaluated.  She urged the Board to not rush into a decision without more professional evaluation.

 

Ms. Alvina Green addressed the Governing Board and stated that she has one child who graduated from this district and three children currently attending in the district, and that she also teaches 2nd grade at Abia Judd.  She stated that she was concerned about the current calendar.  She stated that she had gone to the district website and looked at test scores and that there has not been any significant increase or decrease in test scores.  She noted that she was in favor of the additional breaks, thought it would be in the best interests of the students.  She stated that as a teacher, she feels like she is repeating a lot of instruction after the breaks and feels that the calendar is broken up more than it ever has been before.  She noted that her family owns a business that relies on student internships and doesn’t feel like the summer is long enough to impact the student interns.

 

Ms. Jane Robertson addressed the Governing Board and stated that she was a teacher from Abia Judd.  She noted that next year there will be 180 contact days with students and that the district needs to determine how to space those days so they best serve the students.  She noted that there were three calendar choices:  modified, traditional or year round.  She requested that the Board listen to the teachers who are in the trenches with the students and know how the calendar affects their students.  She stated that she valued the fall break, but that the two week spring break was too much.  She suggested asking for more teacher input before voting on this issue.

 

          Mr. Steve Campbell moved that the Governing Board move back into regular session.  Dr. Joan Fleming seconded the motion.

 

Dr. Andy Newton voted aye, Mr. Steve Campbell voted aye, Dr. Joan Fleming voted aye and President Navarro voted aye. The motion carried 4-0.

Mr. Gordon Maddux stated that he didn’t feel that officers not elected should have a vote and that he could not support this resolution.

 

Mr. Steve Campbell asked who put forth this resolution.  ASBA?  Dr. Joan Fleming responded that several school district are passing resolutions to support this in order to give it more weight.  She noted that it is the wish of the caucus (Hispanic Native American) and not ASBA.  She went on to say that it has come before the association several times before but has been voted down.  She stated that she felt it would give more weight to the caucus and improve the leadership to the caucus.

 

Mr. Campbell stated that he felt reticent to support a resolution that would come to a vote before ASBA and that he preferred to see those issues heard by ASBA, rather than individual school boards.

 

President Navarro asked if our district would then be obligated to vote yes at the annual meeting with approval of this resolution.  Dr. Fleming responded, no.  She noted that Prescott would be the third or fourth district to do so.

Mr. Kapp suggested that the motion should be amended to include the wording . . . “that funding is approved and would be retro-active from July 1, 2004, and that the pay-to-play increase would not be implemented until the 2005-2006 school year.”
