NOTICE
The Ouachita Parish School Board met in special session on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at six (6:00) o’clock P.M. at its regular meeting place, the Ouachita Parish School Board office.
The following members were present: Jack White, Scott Robinson, A. R. Sims, Jerry R. Hicks, John Russell, Carey Walker and Susan Spence. There were none absent.
Peggy Slawson, the Superintendent’s secretary, led the Pledge to the Flag.
The Invocation was given by Board member Reverend John Russell.
On motion by Jerry Hicks, seconded by A. R. Sims, the Board approved the Minutes of August 10, 2010 as written. Motion carried unanimously.
On motion by A. R. Sims, seconded by Carey Walker, the Board approved the Agenda after amending to delete item No. 4 under (XI) Business. Motion carried unanimously.
On motion by A. R. Sims, seconded by Scott Robinson, the Board approved the revised Personnel Agenda as submitted, including the changes since its mailing. Motion carried unanimously.
On the recommendation of Grant Schlueter, bond attorney with the law firm of Foley and Judell, L.L.P., Scott Robinson moved, seconded by A. R. Sims, that the Board adopt the resolution giving preliminary approval to the issuance of not exceeding $9,000,000 of Sales Tax School Refunding Bonds of West Ouachita Parish School District of the Parish of Ouachita, State of Louisiana; making application to the State Bond Commission for approval of said Bonds; and providing for other matters in connection therewith. Motion carried unanimously.
On the recommendation of Personnel Director Dr. Don Coker, Jerry Hicks moved, seconded by A. R. Sims, that the Board adopt the policy regarding the National Board Salary Supplement for the 2010-2011 school year for National Board Certified Teachers, Counselors, School Psychologists, Speech Language Pathologists and Social Workers. Dr. Coker explained that the state is withdrawing the funding for this program and has turned the responsibility of funding over to the local school boards if they choose to continue the program. According to the Louisiana Attorney General’s Opinion No. 02-0428, the local educational agency is responsible for funding the national board salary supplement for classroom teachers and school counselors for the full payment of $5,000 (R.S. 17:421.6 and R.S. 17:421.8). However, the Ouachita Parish School Board has agreed to continue paying this salary supplement for the School Psychologist, Speech Language Pathologists and Social Workers this school year only. The Board also decided to no longer pay the $500 application fee for those teachers who are applying for and working toward becoming national board certified teachers, nor will the district pick up the cost of paying a percentage of retesting costs in the national board process. Dr. Coker informed the Board that the local educational agency is not required to pay the stipend for National Board School Psychologists, Speech Language Pathologists, and Social Workers. Motion carried unanimously.
Special Projects/Safety Coordinator Kenneth Slusher announced that he has 20 projects going on at the present time and most of the projects are on target for completion. The only project that is completely finished is Drew. The cafeteria renovations began at Riser and Robinson as school started in addition two or three roof projects. After he gets with the contractor, he plans to invite all the Board members, the media and others to tour the “new” Richwood Middle School next month.
At this time, Cedric Hemphill with Herbert Land Architecture was asked to update the Board on the Riverbend/Crosley projects. To save costs, both schools will be bid together. Since part of the work at Crosley is replacing windows, the work needs to transpire in the summertime. The plans are 80 percent complete and will be sent to the fire marshal by the end of September for approval. Since the two projects are under one contract, Mr. Hemphill does not want to bid the projects at these two schools until the end of November or first of December and award the contract in January. Riverbend will be completed first since it is an outdoor pavilion. While the Riverbend project is going on, the contractor has time to order and receive materials needed for Crosley and have everything ready to start by the time school is out so the project can be completed before school starts next year. Mr. Hemphill is trying to coordinate the projects to allow the contractor less downtime between these two jobs.
On the recommendation of Business Manager Richie Garrett, Mr. Sims moved, seconded by Jerry Hicks, that the Board allow Purchasing Agent Bobby Jones to evaluate, accept the low bids meeting specifications, award the bid(s) for system-wide band instruments [Bid No. 18-11] and report the results to the Board at the next meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
On the recommendation of Business Manager Richie Garrett, A. R. Sims moved, seconded by Jerry Hicks, that the Board allow Purchasing Agent Bobby Jones to evaluate, accept the low bids meeting specifications, award the bid(s) for school buses [Bid No. 19-11] and report the results to the Board at the next meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
The next Board meeting is scheduled for 12:00 noon on September 7, 2010.
There being no further business to be brought before the Board, Mr. Sims moved, seconded by Mrs. Spence, that the meeting adjourn. Motion carried unanimously.
