B. EMS (Emergency Medical Service) Coverage for Middle School and High School Football (For Information Only) Questions have arisen about the costs associated with providing trainers at
middle school football games similar to our current contract with MTSU for varsity high school football games. MTSU has informed us that additional MTSU trainers are not available since many of these are students also completing coursework requirements.
Rutherford County Emergency Medical Service (EMS) was contacted to ask
if EMS persons would be available to serve in a similar capacity as the high school trainers for middle school football games. EMS stated that because of required protocols and the cost of malpractice insurance, individual EMS personnel do not independently serve in that capacity. The EMS office reported that they would charge us the same rate as their coverage for MTSU football that includes two paramedics and an ambulance. The rate is $65/hour with a 4-hour minimum plus any supplies used.
Middle school football ends in September with one championship game in October.
Middle school football (41 games X $260 = $10,660) High school freshmen and junior varsity play back-to-back on the
same evenings for 4-5 hours total. (40 games X $325 = 13,000) C. Technology Department Purchase
The Technology Department is seeking approval to purchase upgraded and additional networking equipment to handle the increasing demand of internet access. These upgrades are needed to maintain the growth due to testing computer labs, student’s devices, and the ever growing technology demand. The upgrades and expansion will ensure the availability of internet bandwidth for online testing and additional educational content. The price is $150,313.78, and this includes both hardware and software to meet the growing demand. The Hardware Systems Support Department will install this equipment and software.
Motion made by Mr. Young, seconded by Mr. Hodge, to approve the purchase of
hardware and software from Dell at a cost of $150,313.78 to meet the growing demand of Rutherford County School’s technology needs. This purchase will be funded from the previously approved technology upgrade for testing.

The salary, which will not exceed $10,000, will be paid entirely by the McKinney-Vento sub-grant (Title X). Funds are available to cover this position, and this is an allowable expense for this grant. Motion made by Ms. Moore, seconded by Mr. Holladay, to approve the addition of a part-time administrative assistant position for the ATLAS program, to be paid by Title X funds. Vote: All Yes

STUDENT DISCIPLINE APPEAL The Board has been requested to review the September 11, 2015, decision of the Disciplinary Hearing Authority (DHA) to uphold the remandment of a student from Blackman Middle School to Smyrna West Alternative School.

16. GENERAL DISCUSSION BY BOARD MEMBERS
The Board requested that substitute teacher pay be discussed in the 2016 budget cycle. Mrs. Moore thanked the visitors who came to speak and those who came to listen. She said she has spent the past year reading the textbooks students are using and realizes the standards are set by the State. She stated that she feels the Board should respond and recognize these concerns. She thinks we should teach the standards but is concerned the teachers are using outside resources. She wants the Board to talk about what they can do to ensure that the curriculum is being taught in our Rutherford County system and staying with the standards but making sure that it is true and accurate history and not indoctrination. She expressed that it is our responsibility to help reassure our citizens, parents, and grandparents that we are doing what we can to be accountable to make sure that indoctrination does not happen in our classrooms.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at approximately 6:45 P.M. _________________________________ _________ Wayne R. Blair, Board Chairman Date ________________________________ _________ Marvin D. Odom, Director of Schools Date

Motion to approve the proposed revisions made by Mr. Terry Hodge, seconded by Mr. Aaron Holladay. VOTE: All yes The committee discussed the adoption of Policy 5.118 – Background Investigations. Adoption of the proposed policy is recommended by the Tennessee School Board Association. Federal and state laws require districts to have policies and/or procedures that address use, dissemination, retention, security, storage, disposal, chain of custody and misuse of criminal history record checks. Motion to approve the adoption of the proposed policy made by Mr. Aaron Holladay, seconded by Ms. Lisa Moore. VOTE: All yes
2
The committee discussed the adoption of a proposed administrative procedure regarding state and district mandated assessments. The procedure will clarify that Tennessee requires participation in assessments for accountability purposes. There is no provision in the law authorizing parents and/or students to opt out of mandated assessments. Therefore, school districts are not authorized to adopt policies and/or procedures allowing such. The legal requirements for participation in assessments apply to all mandated assessments including those required to be completed via an internet based computer program. Administrative Procedures are approved by the Director of Schools so there was no committee action taken. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at approximately 5:30 p.m. ________________________________ _____________________ Wayne Blair, Chairman Date _________________________________ ______________________ Marvin D.
