The Ouachita Parish School Board met in regular session on Thursday, February 9, 2012 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 Transportation Supervisor, Prentiss “Skeeter” Boyd.
On motion by Carey Walker, seconded by A. R. Sims, the Board unanimously approved the Minutes of January 24, 2012 as written.
On motion by Bill Norris, seconded by A. R. Sims, the Board approved the revised Agenda as presented, including the deletion of Item No. 1 (Consideration of Approval of OPSB Policy Revisions). Motion carried unanimously.
On motion by Susan Spence, seconded by Carey Walker, the Board approved the amended Personnel Agenda as submitted, including the changes since mail-out. Motion carried unanimously.
Following discussion and review of the Tobacco Settlement Agreement Resolution, Bill Norris suggested that a correction be made in the last sentence of the Resolution referring to the source of funds as being derived from accrued interest, which is incorrect, and asked the Board to consider changing the wording to reflect that the funds are withdrawn from the investment (Millennium Trust) account balance. Following the revision to the EEF Resolution and recommendation of Business Manager Juanita Duke, Bill Norris moved, seconded by Susan Spence, that the Board adopt the amended Educational Excellence Fund (EEF) Resolution relative to Louisiana R.S. 39:99 and Louisiana R.S. 39:98.3, which were consequences of the Tobacco Settlement Agreement and the resulting Constitutional Millennium Trust that includes the Educational Excellence Fund authorizing the Superintendent to grant permission to withdraw these funds from the investment account balance of $1,706,905.26 as of December 31, 2011 in the amount of $180,217.13 for specific purposes, i.e., remedial programs, more fully explained in the Plan which has already received approval from both the State Department of Education and Louisiana House of Representatives Committees. Motion carried unanimously.
On the recommendation of Business Manager Juanita Duke, A. R. Sims moved, seconded by Scott Robinson, that the Board grant the matching funds request of Pinecrest School up to the maximum amount allowed of $4,950.00 as they have met all requirements set by the Board to receive matching funds for capital projects at their school. Motion carried unanimously.
On the recommendation of Business Manager Juanita Duke, Susan Spence moved, seconded by Carey Walker, that the Board grant the matching funds request of Jack Hayes Elementary School in the amount of $1,420.00 as they have met all requirements set by the Board to receive matching funds for capital projects at their school. Motion carried unanimously.
Out of concern for the financial impact the governor’s proposed education reform plan and budget cuts will have on school districts, Business Manager Juanita Duke presented the following recommendations from the Finance Committee for the Board’s consideration:
Recommendation #2 To not purchase textbooks from the 2011-12 textbook adoption for the 2012-13 school year.
Recommendation #3 Freeze funding of School Board’s School Matching Fund Policy effective February 10, 2012 and for the remainder of the 2011-12 fiscal year and in 2012-13 and 2013-14, and to reconsider the policy annually thereafter.
Recommendation #4 To freeze all out-of-state travel funded by General Fund or local funding sources, except when deemed to be necessary by the Superintendent, effective February 10, 2012 and for the remainder of the 2011-12 fiscal year and for the next two years.
Recommendation #5 To suspend new applications for all personnel, except for certified teachers and bus drivers for the remainder of the 2011-12 fiscal year.
(*Recommendation #1- approved in the meeting of January 12, 2012)
On motion by Carey Walker, seconded by Scott Robinson, the Board adopted the Finance Committee’s Recommendation #2 to suspend the purchase of textbooks from the 2011-12 textbook adoption for the 2012-13 school year. Motion carried unanimously.
On motion by Scott Robinson, seconded by Bill Norris, the Board adopted the Finance Committee’s Recommendation #3 to freeze funding of the School Board’s School Matching Funds Request Policy effective February 10, 2012 and for the remainder of the 2011-12 fiscal year, in 2012-13 and 2013-14, and to reconsider the policy annually thereafter. Motion carried, with Mr. Sims casting the only “no” vote.
On motion by Bill Norris, seconded by Carey Walker, the Board adopted the Finance Committee’s Recommendation #4 to freeze all out-of-state travel funded by General Fund or local funding sources, except when deemed necessary by the Superintendent, effective February 10, 2012 and for the remainder of the 2011-12 fiscal year and for the next two years.
Bill Norris amended his motion to include additional language in the content of his motion, seconded by Carey Walker, as follows: That the Board adopt the Finance Committee’s Recommendation #4 to freeze all out-of-state travel funded by the General Fund or local funding sources, except when deemed necessary and “more cost effective” by the Superintendent, effective February 10, 2012 and for the remainder of the 2011-12 fiscal year and for the next two years. Motion carried unanimously.
On motion by Bill Norris, seconded by Scott Robinson, the Board adopted the Finance Committee’s Recommendation #5 to suspend the acceptance of new applications for all personnel, except for certified teachers and bus drivers for the remainder of the 2011-12 fiscal year. This is mainly due to the cost of accepting applications and having to perform background checks on the applicant. The cost to provide those background checks is about $46.25 per person. The estimated savings are approximately $5-7,000 for the remainder of this school year. Motion carried unanimously.
Dr. Webber discussed the seriousness of the expected budget cuts coming from the state and how hard it is for the Board to make these tough decisions that affect our system.
Special Projects/Safety Coordinator Kenneth Slusher reported that all the contracts are signed to begin construction on the WMHS STEM building very soon. On February 21st bids will be opened for construction of eastside OPHS bathrooms and bids will open for the construction of the Lakeshore Elementary multi-purpose building on February 23.
President Jerry Hicks admitted that he was worried with concerns about our future funding and budget cuts, and after reviewing the Governor’s plans for education reform, he is very guarded on his position as to how it will impact our district. He emphasized the need to prepare to work together to prevent cutting personnel except through attrition.
The next Board meeting will be held on February 23rd at 6:00 P.M.
There being no further business to discuss, Scott Robinson moved, seconded by A. R. Sims, that the Board meeting adjourn. Motion carried unanimously.
