NOTICE
The Ouachita Parish School Board met in regular session on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at six (6:00) o’clock P.M. 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 Susan Spence.
The Invocation was given by Purchasing Agent Bobby Jones.
On motion by A. R. Sims, seconded by Carey Walker, the Board unanimously approved the Minutes of the October 18, 2011 Board meeting as written.
On Motion by Susan Spence, seconded by John Russell, the Board unanimously approved the revised Agenda after deleting item No. 35-12 (Band Instruments) under Permission to Bid. Motion carried unanimously.
On motion by A. R. Sims, seconded by Bill Norris, the Board approved the amended Personnel Agenda as presented, including the changes since mail-out. Motion carried unanimously.
On behalf of the Board, a resolution honoring the memory of Mrs. Judy Staten was read and presented to her family by John Russell. Twelve years ago, Mrs. Staten retired from Bell South Telephone Company and shortly after began working for the Ouachita Parish School Board as a school secretary. Within a year of her transfer to the position of receptionist at the central office, she was diagnosed with cancer. Her husband is also an employee of the school board and together they have six adult children. Mrs. Judy was an excellent employee and will be sorely missed by all her friends, family and coworkers.
On motion by Susan Spence, seconded by John Russell, the Board accepted the recommendation of Purchasing Agent Bobby Jones and assessed liquidated damages to Academic Standard, LLC in the amount of $2,400 for failure to complete the locker installation at Sterlington Middle School within the time frame specified on the contract. Since the lockers were useable and functional on the day of October 7, 2011, Mr. Jones recommended that the liquidated damages only be incurred for the (8) days from September 29 – October 6, 2011. Based on these facts, Mr. Jones feels this is a fair assessment. Motion carried unanimously.
Business Manager Juanita Duke informed the Board she had received an offer from Entergy asking the Board to grant a permanent easement across the old Swartz School property. Following discussion, Bill Norris moved, seconded by A. R. Sims, that the Board grant a permanent easement to Entergy for the purchase of a 1.717 acre permanent easement across the “former” Swartz School property for a price of $33,365 with a 10% added incentive if an agreement is made within 45 days of the offer, for a total price and one-time payment of $36,026. Motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Duke commented that Entergy’s proposal contained an offer of $15,500 per acre. Even though the final appraisal of the property is estimated to be $8,120 per acre, Entergy remained committed to their original offer. Prior to presenting this offer to the Board, Mrs. Duke reviewed the proposal with Dr. Webber, Elmer Noah, and Bobby Jones and feels that it is in the best interest of the school board to grant the easement at the price offered by Entergy. Currently the “old” Swartz School property is under an expired lease with a tenant and this action does not interfere with the tenant’s operations. The easement will now split the property into a useable north and south section.
Pamela Barton, A P Grant Supervisor/Grant Writer, presented her recommendation for approval of the Wellness Policy concerning child nutrition. Ms. Barton provided the following list of personnel participating in the implementation of the policy in support of its approval: Dr. Coker, Randy Hammett, Ann Davis, Judy Dampier and Jo Lynne Correro. The Wellness Policy involves child nutrition perks for improving testing standards and overcoming child obesity in our state and country. However, before the vote, there was discussion regarding the Board being allowed to review the policy more thoroughly in the future prior to adoption. Whereby, Susan Spence moved, seconded by John Russell, that the Board adopt the Wellness Policy as presented by Mrs. Barton. Motion carried unanimously.
Special Projects/Safety Coordinator Kenneth Slusher reported that as of today, 1300 employees have received their flu shots and still have more to give. As for construction, Mr. Slusher stated that a punch list is being performed on the newest addition to Ouachita Parish High School. Currently, all other projects remain in the works.
On the recommendation of Business Manager Juanita Duke, Scott Robinson moved, seconded by Susan Spence, that the Board grant permission to bid copy paper [Bid No. 34-12]. Motion carried unanimously.
On motion by Susan Spence, seconded by John Russell, the Board accepted the low bid meeting specifications from NEMC for two different types of drum sets in the amount of $113.75 each for Bid Item No. 1 and $949.00 each for Bid Item No. 2 [Bid No. 26-12] as recommended by Business Manager Juanita Duke. Motion carried unanimously.
President Hicks announced that the next Board meeting will be held on December 13, 2011 at 4:00 P.M. An in-service training course for Board members will be offered at 12:00 P.M. until 4:00 P.M. prior to the Board meeting.
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.
