The Ouachita Parish School Board met in special session on Tuesday, September 27, 2011 at twelve (12:00) o’clock noon at its regular meeting place, the Ouachita Parish School Board office.
The roll was called and the following members were present: Bill Norris, Scott Robinson, A. R. Sims, Jerry R. Hicks, John Russell, Carey Walker and Susan Spence. There were none absent.
The Pledge to the Flag was led by Board member Carey Walker.
The Invocation was given by Board member Reverend John Russell.
On motion by Susan Spence, seconded by A. R. Sims, the Board unanimously approved the Minutes of September 13, 2011 as written.
On motion by A. R. Sims, seconded by Carey Walker, the Board unanimously approved the revised Agenda as presented.
Susan Spence moved, seconded by A. R. Sims, that the Board approve the amended Personnel Agenda as submitted, including the changes since mail-out. Motion carried unanimously.
Special Projects/Safety Coordinator Kenneth Slusher reported that he is expecting a shipment of 1500 vials of flu vaccine today that had been pre-ordered a year ago for our employees. However, due to the financial restraints this year, it has been suggested that employees pick up a portion of the expenses and pay $5.00 toward the cost of their shots. The Board will pay the remaining balance of $6.00 per shot for a total of $9,000 rather than $16,500 for the whole batch (each shot costs $11). Slusher also remarked that any left over shots would be offered to our retirees for the same price. According to Slusher, the Nurses Program will administer the shots, as well as, pick up the tab for related supplies. Dr. Webber agreed with Mr. Slusher’s suggestion and also recommended that the Board pay all but $5.00 per shot because of the declining budget this year, representing an example of our attempt to cut back on expenses. Whereby, John Russell moved, seconded by Susan Spence, that the Board authorize our school nurses to administer the flu vaccine to approximately 1500 employees (subs/part-time workers included) at their work sites, charging them $5.00 per shot for a total cost to the Board of $9,000 (or $6.00 per shot) with the cost for supplies used to administer the flu shots paid with funds from the Nursing Program. Motion carried unanimously.
Business Manager Juanita Duke presented a proposal from the West Monroe High School Foundation and West Monroe High School asking the Board for their help with a portion of the cost of purchasing property near West Monroe High School that includes an existing burned house structure located on 401 Slack Street in West Monroe. According to Mrs. Duke, the WMHS Foundation has asked the Ouachita Parish School Board to be responsible for the demolition cost of approximately $7,000 for the removal of the house in addition to paying $1,000 toward the purchase price of $12,000. Elmer Noah advised the Board to give much thought in preparation of the land/home acquisition and not put stipulations and conditions in the deed, but rather produce a letter-agreement with the foundation, that upon acquisition, the Board will agree to use the property for use and benefit of West Monroe High School only. Scott Robinson commented that the “foundation” was set up for a specific purpose and whatever funds they expend will be for WMHS and he wants to make sure the wording in the documents will be acceptable. Whereby, Scott Robinson moved, seconded by John Russell, that the Board grant permission to pursue the acquisition of the burnt-out home and property located on 401 Slack Street near West Monroe High School for $12,000 once the details identifying its use and funding source are worked out between the foundation and West Monroe High School. If an agreement is reached to purchase the property, it will be presented to the Board for consideration. Motion carried unanimously.
Purchasing Agent Bobby Jones presented his findings on the sale of the surplus portable buildings. The Ideal Portable Building representative suggested reducing the price $2,000 on each to compete with the used FEMA trailers on the market. However, Mr. Jones does not think this option would work in our favor since it would reduce the minimum bids from $6-10 thousand to $4-8 thousand each for the ten (10) buildings. Therefore, he recommends that we take two buildings that are in the worst condition and move them to two schools that have requested them for storage and move the rest (8) to the district maintenance facility where it is more secure and store them for future use. The Board agreed with Mr. Jone’s recommendation.
Special Projects/Safety Coordinator Kenneth Slusher reported that we have ongoing projects at Riverbend and Crosley, and have problems with the contractor. Two classrooms at Riverbend have flooded three times when it rains. Slusher met with contractors, principals and architects yesterday to try and resolve construction issues. Due to the exposed existing roof, Riverbend suffered approximately $12,000-$13,000 in water damages to classrooms, computers and other equipment from the rain. The contractors agreed to fix these damages through builders risk insurance at no cost to the school board.
