Hairston, Superintendent of Schools, and staff members were present.

Board members discussed the agenda and inquired about the possibility of adding an item to this evening’s agenda.

Mr. Parker stated that the Board needs to step back and try to understand what students, parents, and teachers are requesting.

Mr. Hines commented that the school system is looking for a tool that will help all students. Everyone needs to better understand the tool. He concurred with Mr. Parker about the need to step back and clearly examine AIM.

Dr. Hairston commented that staff was given a directive to align the curriculum in AIM. He stated that the deadline to get information into AIM to review the alignment with the curriculum is slated for November 15. Dr. Hairston asked Board members to give him and staff the opportunity to work internally and provide structure.

SELECTION OF SPEAKERS

After collecting completed sign-up cards, Ms. Murphy announced the names of persons who would be speaking during the public comment portion of the meeting as well as the order in which the persons would be called.

ADVISORY AND STAKEHOLDER COMMENTS

Ms. Rebecca Palardy, Baltimore County Student Council President and Superintendent’s Student Council Advisory Group, reported on the annual leadership workshop at Camp Ramblewood; over 160 students attended. Ms. Palardy announced that the BCSC middle school conference would be held on November 17, 2007.

Mr. Boyd Crouse, Coordinator of the Area Education Advisory Councils, announced that the joint area education advisory council meeting would be held Wednesday, October 24. The agenda includes: overview of budget process, information for council areas, setting agenda for upcoming Board dinner, and open dialogue.


ADVISORY AND STAKEHOLDER COMMENTS (cont)

Mr. Clifford Collins, Chair of the Northwest Area Educational Advisory Council, reported on the council’s operating pre-budget hearing held on October 9. Testimony from 24 individuals included school staffing, salaries, kindergarten aides, and climate control issues.

Ms. Jasmine Shriver, a representative of the Baltimore County Education Coalition, stated that the Articulated Instruction Module (AIM) tool should not be debated. AIM is an assessment tool to measure student growth. She commented that professional development must be addressed and curriculum needs to be developed, taught, and assessed.

Ms. Gloria Collins, President of the Baltimore County Instructional Assistants & Clerical Employees, (BACE), asked the Board to address the budgetary issues in Title I schools.

Dr. Ella White-Campbell, Chair of the Minority Achievement Advisory Group, reported on the group’s last meeting where the following committees were established: curriculum, budget, membership, legislative, human relations, and planning. Dr. Campbell stated that MAAG discussed and agreed that nothing is in place other than AIM, and the priority should be aligning BCPS’ curriculum with the state’s voluntary curriculum.

Ms. Susan Katz, President of the PTA Council of Baltimore County, announced the fall reception and workshop to be held on Thursday, October 25, at New Town High School. Mr. Sam Macer stated that the parent involvement committee will now become the family partnership committee noting that there needs to be a strong family/school connection.

Ms. Cheryl Bost, President of the Teachers Association of Baltimore County, stated that AIM is “off target” and goes beyond a teacher’s workload. TABCO supports alignment, but AIM does not make alignment occur nor does it close the achievement gap. Ms. Bost also stated that assessTrax does not have the “bugs” worked out and that teachers are being asked to implement AIM for next year.

Delegate William Frank, District 42, commented on the overcrowding issues affecting all elementary schools in the Towson area. He stated that the most viable solution he believes is a win-win would be to reopen Ridge Ruxton as a comprehensive school to relieve overcrowding and construct a special needs school at the Mays Chapel site. Delegate Frank appreciates that the school system has put forward this proposal, which is not without opposition. He stated that it is his view that a new special-needs school with a small footprint and very limited enrollment could co-exist very nicely with the remaining sixteen acres of green space in Mays Chapel Park.

SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT

Dr. Hairston reported that three Baltimore County schools will be commemorating their 75th anniversaries this year. These three schools – Fifth District Elementary, Prettyboy Elementary, and Seventh District Elementary schools – exemplify the strength of community-

REPORTS

The Board received the following reports:


A. Report on School Staffing – Dr. Donald Peccia, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources and Governmental Relations, and Dr. Alpheus Arrington, Director of Human Resources, provided the 2007-2008 staffing report, which included:

REPORTS (cont)

• the percentage of minority teachers – 15.7% in 2003 to 22.2% in 2007; • the number of highly qualified teachers (HQT) in core subject areas total

94.65%; • the number of highly qualified paraeducators in Title I schools total 100%; • the number of core academic subject (CAS) classes taught by highly qualified

teachers total 87.5%; • the strategies for continued improvement.

The Office of Personnel will continue to implement recruitment initiatives to attract highly qualified teachers, especially minority teachers. The BCPS staffing plan will continue to focus on giving priority to hiring and retaining highly qualified teachers at all schools, especially priority schools, and to assist all teachers to meet the requirements of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Mr. Hayden commented that between 2006-07 and 2007-08 there are sixteen fewer paraeducators in Title I schools. Mr. Hayden requested enrollment numbers and whether the student population in those schools had in fact declined. Ms. Shillman expressed concern that the northwest area has the smallest number of HQT. Dr. Peccia stated that number has decreased dramatically based on last year’s numbers. Ms. Harris asked whether those teachers and paraeducators lacking not highly qualified status are attempting to meet the standards. Dr. Arrington responded that NCLB does not address the HQ status of paraeducators in non-Title I schools; however, it is addressed in the Blueprint for Progress. Dr. Arrington stated that the school system offers and encourages in-service opportunities for all paraeducators who must meet the NCLB standards. Mr. Janssen echoed Ms. Shillman’s concern. He stated that the school system needs to concentrate on placing highly qualified teachers in the northwest and southwest areas since that is where the most struggling schools in the system are located. Ms. Flynn requested information on a school-by-school basis of the number of non-tenured teachers in high priority schools, and that it examines trends to see whether any changes are necessary and whether progress has been made.


Ms. O’Hare requested teacher data; specifically a breakout of who’s been where, length of time at a particular school, and how long a teacher has not been highly qualified.

PERSONNEL MATTERS

On motion of Mr. Janssen, seconded by Mr. Pallozzi, the Board approved the personnel matters as presented on Exhibits C, D, and E. (Copies of the exhibits are attached to the formal minutes).

Ms. Patricia Baltzley, Director of Mathematics, stated that MSDE started development of on-line courses for all four of the content areas several years ago, and that government and algebra were activated.

Ms. Murphy stated that public comment is one of the opportunities provided to hear the

views and receive the advice of community members. The members of the Board appreciate hearing from interested citizens and will take their comments into consideration, even though it is not the Board’s practice to take action at this time on issues which are raised. When appropriate, the Board will refer concerns to the superintendent for follow-up by his staff.

While the Board encourages public input on policy, programs, and practices within the purview of this Board and this school system, this is not the proper avenue to address specific student or employee matters, or to comment on matters that do not relate to public education in Baltimore County. The Board encourages everyone to utilize existing avenues of redress for complaints. Inappropriate personal remarks or other behavior that disrupts or interferes with the conduct of this meeting are out of order.

Ms. Murphy also asked speakers to observe the light system, which lets the speaker know when time is up. She asked speakers to conclude their remarks when they see the red light.

Only one non-substantive change is recommended concerning policy references. Policy 8362: Gifts. It is recommended that the policy increase gift amount to $50; define awards and exclude such from the definition of “gift;” prohibit persons from accepting tickets to political events; prohibit accepting gifts from vendors or potential vendors. Policy 8364: Financial Disclosure. Only one change is recommended by subcommittee; namely, to increase the gift amount to $50 to confirm with Policy 8362. A non-substantive change was also made to reference related policies. Policy 8365: Lobbying Disclosure. Only non-substantive change made to reference related policies. Policy 8366: Ethics Review Panel. The subcommittee recommended that language be added to include replacement of an Ethics Review Panel member as a result of absences and that persons are no longer disqualified from serving on the Panel as a result of having a spouse who is employed by the school system. The revision would disqualify the Panel member from participating in or discussing matters involving his/her spouse. Note that, in addition to the above, the Policy Review Committee has recommended non-substantive changes for ease of reference.

POLICY 8361

ETHICS CODE: General The Baltimore County Public Schools are committed to promoting and practicing moral principles and values in both the delivery of instruction and the delivery of support services. Consistent with this conviction, the school system’s “Precepts, Beliefs, and Values” and local public ethics laws in accordance with the State Ethics Commission, the Ethics Code establishes guidelines of ethical and professional conduct. This Code formally acknowledges the school system’s commitment to its institutional responsibility to the students, parents, and the community. It advocates positive behavior and the avoidance of impropriety or the appearance of impropriety. This Code establishes recommended behavior for all instructional and non-instructional personnel, administrative and supervisory personnel, Board of Education members, consultants, and volunteers (from this point forward referred to as Board members, employees and/or volunteers). All of these individuals shall be subject to this Code, which addresses the school system’s commitment that all lead and teach by example and serve as role models for students. No code can delineate the appropriate ethical behavior for every situation with which the school system’s personnel will be confronted. It is important, therefore, that whenever a difficult situation arises which is not directly addressed by this Code, the individual seek counsel from colleagues, administrators, and the Ethics Review Panel as established by the Code. However, many individuals will be called upon to make decisions in which time precludes consultations. In such cases, the individual must rely on his or her good judgment, recalling that the school system’s ethical commitment is rooted in fairness, equity, and integrity. One of the most important elements of this Code is promoting the worth and dignity of all individuals in compliance with the Board of Education's non-discrimination policy. A second key element of this Code is open communication. Business-related transactions in which individuals engage must be correctly documented and reported. Every individual covered by this Code must behave as if public scrutiny of his or her actions would be welcome.

POLICY 8361 The Code provides specific direction in the following areas: Gifts; ConflictS of Interest; Financial Disclosure; Lobbying Disclosure; Creation of an Ethics Review Panel.

ETHICS CODE: Gifts

1. Gifts to the Board of Education, Schools, and Offices within the School System

A. As the Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS) continue the practice of school-based management, it becomes increasingly important to establish firm guidelines on the acceptance of gifts by schools and offices on behalf of the Board of Education.

The Board of Education of Baltimore County (BOARD) encourages the

formation of partnerships between schools and businesses and recognizes that these relationships frequently include gifts to schools and offices to enhance the educational programs of students.

The Board [of Education], schools, and offices may accept any bequest or

gift of money or property for a purpose deemed suitable. All gifts shall be accepted in the name of the Board [of Education]. All gifts will become the property of the Board [of Education] and may be designated by the Board for use in a particular school or office.

participating in and accepting awards exceeding a $[25]50 market value at events which are determined by the Ethics Review Panel to have an educational benefit.

Background on the "Thornton" Inflation Factor - and whv it should be funded

What is inflation and how does it impact public school budgets in Maryland? Inflation is defined as the persistent rise in the general price level as measured against a standard level of purchasing power. School systems experience inflation as the costs of goods and services increase from year to year. Current examples of major school budget items experiencing significant inflation include utilities (gas & electricity), bus fuel, and employee health insurance costs.

To mitigate the impact of inflation - to maintain the prior year's level of purchasing power - annual adjustments must be made. The most widely used indices for calculating these adjustments are the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures the change in nominal consumer prices, and the Gross Domestic Price (GDP) deflator, \which measures inflation in products and services. In Maryland, the "Thornton" Bridge to Excellence in Public Schools Act of 2002, which controls state education funding, includes an annual adjustment based on the GDP deflator, referred to in the Act as the "implicit price deflator for state and local government expenditures" ($5-202(a)13 of the Education Article). The statute refers to the specific GDP deflator calculated and reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Mlhy is the inflation factor so important to next year's education budget and beyond? In general, without annual increases in funding adjusted for inflation, less money would be available than in the prior year to pay for the same amount of goods and level of services. For Maryland's public schools, the fiscal year 2009 state budget being prepared now will be the first budget in 5 years that will not include a significant increase due to the phased-in increase in "Thornton" funding. So, while most school systems have arrived at the plateau of "adequate" funding called for by the "Thomton" Commission and mandated by the Act, without any inflationary factor these gains will be short-lived.

Importantly, the rationale for the inflation factor extends beyond the need to keep pace with routine increases in routine expenditures such as transportation, facilities, and employee benefits. Maryland's 24 local school systems are confronting major, new budget demands that were not foreseen, or able to be foreseen, by the "Thomton" Commission or legislation. For example, the federal No Child Left Behind Act was enacted in early 2002, simultaneously with the Bridge to Excellence Act, which was developed over the previous two years. Therefore, many of the costly changes required by NCLB in standardized testing, teacher training, and school restructuring were not included in the State's cost projections. In addition, Maryland's legislature and State Board of Education have continued to expand the scope of local school system responsibilities in areas ranging from master planning requirements, to charter school funding, to "high stakes" high school assessments, to purchasing automated external defibrillators (AEDs).

Other reasons to fully fund the inflation factor? County funding is required by law to keep pace with enrollment, but not inflation. In fact, counties are allowed, but not required, to cut funding from year to year based on declining enrollment. In this light, the state inflation factor is now the only required increase in public school funding not tied to increasing enrollment. Fully funding the inflation factor is now more important than ever.

How much less will school systems receive in the 2009-2009 school year if the inflation factor is not funded? The implicit price deflator currently stands at between 5 and 6 percent. Eliminating this percentage increase in state education aid in fiscal year 2009, which funds the 2008-2009 school year, would result in drastic cuts in anticipated funding, and erode the progress underway in every school system.

3. Contract: Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Administration Contract #: RGA-160-08

Term: 2 years Extension: 5 years Contract Ending Date: 1/1/15 Estimated annual award value: $11,270,480 Estimated total award value: $78,893,360 Bid issued: N/A Pre-bid meeting date: N/A Due date: N/A No. of vendors issued to: N/A No. of bids received: N/A No. of no-bids received: N/A Description:

This contract is in cooperation with the Baltimore County Government. Medicare retirees enrolled in the CareFirst Medicare Supplemental Plan and covered under the Self-insurance Fund will be converted from the current subsidy arrangement with the Centers for Medicare Services (CMS) to a Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) platform effective January 1, 2008. The change covers Medicare retirees from Baltimore County, MD, Baltimore County Public Library, Baltimore County Revenue Authority, Baltimore County Public Schools, and the Community College of Baltimore County. The prescriptions covered under the new plan remain unchanged; however, there are a few pharmacies that will no longer be in the network. Retirees will receive a mailing from Express Scripts in December with a new ID card and pharmacy list. This new program changes the federal reimbursement program to better align federal reimbursements with new accounting regulations. As a result of GASB 45, Baltimore County must calculate an Annual Required Contribution (ARC) amount for each of the entities covered in the Self-insurance Fund. At present, GASB regulations do not permit the subsidy amounts received under the current arrangement with CMS to be used to offset the ARC calculation. Moving to the PDP arrangement allows for a predictable flow of revenue from CMS that can be used to lower the ARC. The combined reduction in ARC in the first year attributable to adoption of the PDP platform is expected to be $19.7 million. Recommendation:


Express Scripts Insurance Company Maryland Heights, MO
