The following members were present: Jack White, Scott Robinson, A. R. Sims, Jerry R. Hicks, John Russell, Carey Walker and Phillip Odom. There were none absent. Board member Jerry Hicks led the Pledge to the Flag. President Jack White invited everyone to join him in the Lord’s Prayer. On motion by Jerry Hicks, seconded by A. R. Sims, the Board unanimously approved the Minutes of February 28, 2007 as written. Upon motion by Phillip Odom, seconded by A. R. Sims, the Board approved the revised Agenda as submitted.

Testing Supervisor June Poole, Communication Specialist Aline Smead and Dr. Webber honored the best academic students scoring Advanced in all four core subject areas of the iLEAP test with Achievement Awards. The 500 Club members were also presented Achievement Certificates for their perfect score of 500 in one or more subjects of the iLEAP test. Cliff Thomas, a contractor with the Louisiana Office of Public Health Tobacco Control Program, as well as a representative with Empowering Communities of America, Inc., briefed the Board with information and handouts concerning the “new” Louisiana Clean-Air Act 815 as it relates to the School Board. Testing Coordinator June Poole presented the 2007-2008 Ouachita Parish School Board calendar for the Board’s consideration. Whereby, Mr. Sims moved, seconded by Carey Walker, that the Board adopt the 2007-2008 school calendar as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Shady Grove Elementary principal Ronnie Harrison expressed his concerns regarding overcrowded conditions on his school buses and unfair assignments of buses. He pointed out that his school had fewer buses than other schools with the same enrollment and was particularly concerned about double runs. Transportation Supervisor Prentiss Boyd supported his decision not to add another bus with picture evidence of each bus load. Mr. Boyd supplied figures to the Board comparing Shady Grove’s enrollment with other schools and concluded that an additional bus was not needed at this time. In the final analysis, the Board instructed the Transportation Department to monitor each bus load daily for a week before making a determination as to the need of an additional bus. John Russell requested the Board’s permission to purchase approximately 26 acres of land for the future site of Richwood Junior High at $15,000 per acre. Following much discussion, Reverend Russell tabled his request and asked that Special Projects and Safety Coordinator Kenneth Slusher renegotiate the land purchase with the land owner and bring back to the Board for reconsideration at the next meeting. Special Projects and Safety Coordinator Kenneth Slusher, announced that West Monroe High School construction projects were on schedule and the roofing project at Swartz Upper will be ready to start as soon as school is out. On motion by Jerry Hicks, seconded by A. R. Sims, the Board granted permission to bid the purchase of 15 school buses [Bid No. 33-07]. Motion carried unanimously. The next Board meeting is scheduled for March 27, 2007 at twelve (12:00) noon. There being no further business to be brought before the Board, Jerry Hicks moved, seconded by A. R. Sims, that the meeting adjourn. Motion carried unanimously.
