NOTICE
The Ouachita Parish School Board met in regular session on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at twelve (12:00) 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, Jerry R. Hicks, John Russell, Carey Walker and Susan Spence. Scott Robinson and A. R. Sims were absent.
The Pledge to the Flag was led by President Jerry Hicks.
The Invocation was given by Reverend John Russell.
On motion by Carey Walker, seconded by Susan Spence, the Board unanimously approved the Minutes of March 6, 2012 as written.
On motion by Susan Spence, seconded by Bill Norris, the Board approved the revised Agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
On motion by Carey Walker, seconded by Susan Spence, the Board approved the amended Personnel Agenda as submitted, including the changes since mail-out. Motion carried unanimously.
The 2011-12 Operating Budget amendments were presented to the Board for consideration as prepared by Business Manager Juanita Duke. The following is a summary of the revised budgets presented:
Mrs. Duke reported that the district’s budget deficit of $3.4 million is up slightly from what was predicted for this school year. According to Mrs. Duke, the increase was the result of the second increase in group insurance that occurred when it was applied in December 2011, and is anticipated that this increase in expenditures to be an additional $1 million, including a $200,000 additional expenditure for science textbooks. These expenditures were reduced by a $712,000 increase in state MFP funds. The general fund balance surplus is slightly over $12 million or 8.9 percent of its general fund budget. Following the proposed recommendations by Business Manager Juanita Duke, Bill Norris moved, seconded by Susan Spence, that the Board adopt Budget Revision No. 1 for the fiscal period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
To bring the district’s budget in line and out of concern for the budget deficit, Business Manager Juanita Duke asked the Board to consider the following recommendations offered by the finance committee to help reduce budget costs:
• Recommendation #6 Adoption of the 2012-13 school calendar that would reduce the number of days in the school by 5 days and extend the day by 8 minutes was deferred because it is an Agenda item to be considered later in this meeting.
• Recommendation #7 This recommendation was presented by Assistant Superintendent/Personnel Director Dr. Don Coker and supports the staff reduction plan for paraprofessionals for the 2012-13 school year. Dr. Coker explained that it basically sets operational policies for hiring and placing paraprofessionals who leave their positions. Plans are in place to eliminate some of these positions through attrition, unless the position is mandated by the state.
• Recommendation #8 supports the extension of Recommendation #1 adopted by the Board on January 12, 2012 with the added language to the original Recommendation #1 concerning staffing for the 2012-13 school year. This recommendation orders the immediate implementation of a “partial” hiring freeze for all positions for the remainder of 2011-12 and throughout the 2012-13 school year.
In addition to the language that describes requirements for filling classroom teacher vacancies, Mrs. Duke stated that the finance committee added language to this proposal that would state that any time there is a vacancy that we would pull teachers from within the system from schools that are over-staffed. All the recommendations for support staff vacancies and administration, certified contract positions remain the same. Additional language is reflected in the following underlined passage and made a part thereof:
• Recommendation #8 – Addendum: Classroom teacher vacancies. If a classroom teacher vacancy occurs during the year, the teacher position will be filled with a certified temporary or substitute teacher through the remainder of the school year only. No new teachers will be hired to permanent, full-time status. For the purpose of staffing for the 2012-13 school year, if the vacant certified teacher position is determined to be a “critical need” position, the position shall first be filled by transfer of an existing, qualified, certified teacher from a location within the school system where district administrators have determined overstaffing exists. No new teachers shall be hired until all overstaffed certified teaching positions are placed within the school system. The transfer shall be based on an assessment of need at all locations, and the transfer will be made upon the recommendation of the Superintendent from a location of lesser need to the location of greater need. All transfers will be conducted in accordance with School Board policy GBM.
At this point, Judge Norris asked for clarification of non-tenured teachers during their probationary period. He felt it was unclear and needed further explanation written into the policy. Dr. Coker responded that, according to policy, one is not obligated to keep a non-tenured teacher with a bad evaluation. If a principal recommends that a probationary teacher’s employment not be continued, they furnish documentation to support the unemployed teacher. However, if another principal wants a non-tenured certified teacher and is a good fit at another school, it will be allowed.
Also, support staff vacancies will remain “vacant” and not be filled; including, Administrative/Certified-Contract positions that become vacant shall remain vacant unless the position is that of a principal or director. In which case, these positions shall be filled in accordance with the District’s guidelines for hiring administrators.
• Recommendation #9 suspends the hiring of new college students that support administrative or clerical duties throughout the district and allows students currently working to continue to work until they finish their terms, but does not affect high school students working in the Cooperative Education Programs or GC in our system.
Following Juanita Duke’s presentation of the recommended budget cuts offered for consideration by the Finance Committee, Judge Norris moved, seconded by Carey Walker, that the Board adopt Recommendations #7, #8 and #9 as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
Personnel Director Dr. Don Coker presented the 2012-13 school calendar proposed by the committee for consideration and Bill Norris moved, seconded by John Russell, to adopt the 2012-13 OPSB school calendar as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
Bill Norris moved, seconded by Carey Walker, that the Board accept the recommendation of the superintendent and adopt the resolution authorizing a tenure hearing for Pagetamica Carter on Monday, May 7, 2012 at 5:00 P.M in the School Board office boardroom. Motion carried unanimously.
A discussion on Board meeting schedules was tabled until a full Board could be present.
Special Projects/Safety Coordinator Kenneth Slusher announced that the construction projects at West Ouachita High and Central Elementary are complete. The STEM building is presently under construction at West Monroe High. Sterlington High has a brand new fence around its baseball field and its installation is finished. Renovations at Sterlington Middle School are on schedule and so are the restroom renovations at Ouachita High. There are several more east side projects getting started according to Mr. Slusher.
On the recommendation of Special Projects/Safety Coordinator Kenneth Slusher, Carey Walker moved, seconded by Susan Spence, that the Board grant permission to bid the science wing and new gym bleachers at Ouachita High with a budget of $788,000 and funded through eastside bonds [Bid No. 45-12]; 2 entrance roads at Ouachita with a budget of $710,500 and funded through eastside bonds [Bid No. 46-12]; and football dressing room and multi-purpose building (converting old gym into a football dressing room for 8th grade) at Ouachita Junior High with a budget of $1,172,000, also funded through eastside bonds [Bid No. 48-12]. Motion carried unanimously.
On the recommendation of Business Manager Juanita Duke, Bill Norris moved, seconded by Susan Spence, that a 16’X30’ T-Building housed at the maintenance site in West Monroe be declared used surplus and that the Board grant permission to sale this building through the bid process and the minimum bid be set at $2,750 [Bid No. 47-12]. The Motion carried unanimously.
Because of budget restraints, Business Manager Juanita Duke recommended that the Board purchase only four (4) replacement school buses rather than eight (8) as planned. Whereby, Bill Norris moved, seconded by Carey Walker that the Board purchase four (4) replacement school buses at a total cost of $307,952 funded through the M&O sales tax account [Bid No. 1-13]. Motion unanimously carried.
The next Board meeting will take place on Tuesday, April 17 at 6:00 P.M.
There being no further business to discuss, Bill Norris moved, seconded by Susan Spence that the Board meeting adjourn. Motion carried unanimously.
