Discussion/Information Items: 17. Review 2013-2014 School Year Calendar:

Mr. Kaspereen stated that the Board and administration need to take a hard look at starting school later. Mr. Kaspereen wants to review the differences in temperatures, revenue loss, ADA loss and hardships to classified staff that have taken summer jobs. Mrs. Wilson would like to see the comparisons in ADA the week following Presidents’ Week in February. Mr. Kraft stated that he believes that due to the number of employee responses compared to parent responses, the survey provided in the backup material is skewed. Mr. Kraft stated that another consideration for starting later in the year is the cost for substitutes due to pre-planned vacations by staff. Leigh Hawkinson, President of AEA, stated that the Board needs to consider who is providing the data. The former Superintendent wanted to model the calendar after the colleges and end the semester before Winter Break. Ms. Hawkinson stated that AEA does not agree with continuing this model and does not believe that there is accurate data. Carmen Sexton Boykin, President of CSEA Chapter 339, stated that many classified employees do not have access to a computer and CSEA’s preference is to start school later due to summer employment.

Dr. Ferguson will have staff provide additional information and bring this item back within a month.

18. Review Hillcrest High School Upgrades:

Mr. Kaspereen was shocked to see port-a-potties on the beautiful field at Hillcrest High School and stated that having facilities available in that area, which is so far away from campus, should have been a priority. Mr. Pérez stated that staff needs to look at what can be done to meet the needs, including water fountains.

19. Discuss and Review Board Policy 7310 Entitled “Naming of Facility”:

Mr. Kaspereen was pleased to see in the Board Policy that the Board has the ability to name a facility after a person who is alive or deceased. Mr. Johnson stated that it seems a shame to wait until someone passes away before you recognize them for their contributions.

466. MSC. 120 DISCUSSION INFORMATION ITEMS


20. Anti-Bullying Committee Update: Mrs. Wilson provided a brief update on the first meeting of the Anti-Bullying Committee held on Wednesday, September 12th.

(AR) similar to what other districts have in place and include Cyber-bullying,

Work with Principals to put a program in place at each school site similar to The Friendship Society at La Sierra High School,

24. Extra Pay/Stipends/Additional Periods for Certificated Personnel: Dr. Monalisa Hasson, Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources Development, provided a summary of the 2011-2012 expenses related to extra pay/stipends/additional periods, clarified information and answered questions. Leigh Hawkinson, President of AEA, questioned the AEA stipend listed and stated that she is concerned about the perception. Ms. Hawkinson requested that that stipend be looked into. Ms. Hawkinson also stated that the stipends are not the biggest problem because they are received for a specific job, it is the rest of the items listed that are not controlled by the contract. Dr. Hasson will look into the AEA stipend and contact Ms. Hawkinson.

Mr. Pérez asked how the costs can be reduced. Dr. Ferguson will work with staff to establish criteria, including receiving requests in advance for review.

Board/Superintendent Comments:

Carolyn M. Wilson ~ Mrs. Wilson has been visiting school sites and recently attended the Norte Vista High School Parents’ Group with Art. It was a wonderful meeting and all of the parents had an opportunity to tour the school site. Mrs. Wilson was so pleased to hear that Norte Vista High School Freshman and Sophomore students receive assistance with the PSA tests and she was told that this is made available through the School Improvement Grant (SIG). Mrs. Woods clarified that the PSA assistance for Norte Vista High School students is not provided through SIG. Mrs. Wilson stated that this is a wonderful opportunity and the first step for students that are college bound and she wondered why the same opportunity is not available at La Sierra High School. Mrs. Wilson stated that we are still facing hard times; however, you would never know it when you visit the school sites, they are doing great things. Mrs. Wilson thanked the Associations and staff for their hard work and requested that everyone keep the lines of communication open.

Greg Kraft ~ Mr. Kraft stated that as a State employee he knows how he will be affected by the Governor’s recent signing with respect to pension programs; however, he wants to know how it will affect District employees and asked that staff provide an update for the Board. Mr. Kraft asked everyone to vote “no” on 32.

468. BOARD/SUPT. COMMENTS


José Luis Pérez ~ “Vote yes on 30. Something has been in my head since the last Board Meeting. When Miss Linda Buchanan addressed us and took the shirt off her back, she and at least one more employee in the District have paid a very heavy price. We demoted them from the position they were in, from a III to a II, then on top of that they had to take the same cut that everybody else took. I don’t know if it is a fact or not, I have no reason to doubt it when she said it cost her $600.00 a month, it really has been bothering me a great deal that just a handful of employees two maybe more than two – I know there were three but one is now a security guard so I think that one might be ok – but it really bothers me that we have penalized, to my knowledge from what she said two employees with a double whammy. I really wish that we can agendize this item so that the Board would have a chance to vote on the issue if that is necessary, I don’t want to bring it to that but I request that to be agendized if there is no other way to do it but I want the Board to consider those employees and then make a decision on behalf of themselves. That has been bothering me a great deal, so having said that I would say I believe that I was supposed to be at a meeting on Monday night and I was not. I apologize to you guys, I did not mean to not show up and throw you to the wolves. My concern is that I felt I really let you guys down. It was my duty and responsibility to show up there, I totally forgot. I have been kicking myself mentally. With all seriousness, I really do not have enough words to apologize to you guys for having to be there by yourself and I wasn’t there. My apologies.”

Art Kaspereen, Jr. ~ Mr. Kaspereen thanked Mr. Pérez for addressing the concerns about the employees. Mr. Kaspereen thanked Cynthia Woods and Craig Shiflett for getting Career Technical Education off of the ground. Beautiful little Sophia Kaspereen was born 10 days ago!

Ben Johnson ~ Mr. Johnson congratulated Mr. Kaspereen on being a new grandparent. Mr. Johnson requested that a discussion item regarding Campus Supervisor training be placed on the October 4th agenda. Mr. Johnson announced that his wife just finished her administrative credential.

Nicolas Ferguson ~ Dr. Ferguson stated that he wanted to personally thank Leigh Hawkinson and Carmen Sexton Boykin for working with staff to come to an agreement. The meeting adjourned at 9:45 pm _________________________________ Nicolas D. Ferguson, Ed.D. Secretary to the Board of Education
