Public Participation Sam Moorhead – Gila Community College Board member Mr. Moorhead stated our board met yesterday and our tuition scale is the lowest tuition scale in the state of Arizona colleges. There have been some adjustments to the schedule which we adopted a pretty logical sequence which I gave you for your review and it shows that for some students the cost of college has gone up a little bit and for others in particular those involved in dual enrollment and JTED, the cost of college has gone down. I think that is a balance that we tried to achieve. The last information I received of JTED funds was the bill passed the senate and was sitting on the Governor’s desk.

Lori Rodriguez – High Desert Middle School Principal Mrs. Rodriguez stated last time I was here I shared our wrestling trophies and basketball and told you our girls were competing in state competition. They competed against schools in the valley against teams that do year round camps. It is my understanding that the man who runs this in Apache Junction used to receive cooperation and teams from Superior and Globe which ended about 8 years ago, so this was our first time to go down again. Our 8th grade girls walked away with a 4th place and our 7th grade girls walked away with a consolation which is basically a 5th place trophy. They were so impressed with especially our 7th grade team and so appreciative that our girls came down and hoping to build some of that to go back down and our girls had the best time.

Janine Barefoot – GHS Wrestling Coach Ms. Barefoot stated I am here tonight as head coach. The season wasn’t stellar but it is promising. All of Bill’s assistant coaches came back along with 3 former athletes. Sgt. Dakos was a tremendous asset. Over the last 8 years that Bill Barefoot has been coaching we have noticed that there has been approximately 50% attrition from the time you start. A form was followed, we started with 14 and ended with 7. One senior, no juniors, 6 sophomores and 2 freshmen. At 113, Cutter Burgett had a record of 28-9; at 120, Xavier Martinez a freshman, had a record of 10-14; 126, Cody Burgett had a record of 6 – 3; his brother Luke went 4 – 14 and Ryan Dunning the only senior, went 19-9, Robert Mikeworth went 8 – 20 at 170, Riley Cline was 32-12 and also placed 4th at state. Cutter Burgett also qualified for state along with Ryan Dunning. The support has been phenomenal, Mr. Armenta, Mr. Simmons, Miss Thompson, Miss Viola. Mrs. Grainger was the club sponsor, Miss Miller, the admin in the business offices, transportation, maintenance and custodial but most of all I would like to thank Coach Ocampo, he planted the seed when he asked me to help with football and without that support I don’t know that I would have had the thought process to start and knowing what I know today I would do it again but I would not do it a second time. Thank you.

Presentations Superintendent’s report Jerry Jennex-Superintendent

1. Meeting Change Possibility 2. Visit to Denise Bainton’s Office 3. AASA Conference Reminder 4. West Michigan Out of State Teacher Fair 5. Studies Weekly Professional Development Forum Mr. Jennex stated in my last superintendent report I asked you to consider changing the Wednesday, April 6, 2016 governing board meeting to Tuesday, April 5, 2016 because I will be out of town attending the Center for Quality Leadership bi-annual conference. If you will please give your calendar a final review to see if this will work for all, we can then finalize plans to make this change with plenty of time to notify anyone who might be interested. Christa DalMolin and I met with our school attorney, Denise Bainton for approximately half a day on Tuesday, February 9, 2016 to discuss several issues about our employee contracts, salary schedules, and other issues relevant to personnel and human resources. The meeting was very productive and you will be seeing some of her recommendations come before you as board action items in the near future. I asked several of you about a study session prior to the next Board meeting and we will discuss any of those topics we discussed.

I will be attending the American Association of School Administrators National Conference on Education at the Phoenix Convention Center beginning tomorrow morning (February 11, 2016) through Saturday (February 13, 2016). The theme of this year’s conference is “Leading for Excellence”. I look forward to hearing from outstanding presenters as well as networking with superintendents from around the country about what they are doing to improve their districts.

I will be attending the West Michigan out of State Teacher Fair on Monday and Tuesday, March 7th and 8th, 2016 at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. There will be nine colleges and universities participating in this event. I will have an opportunity to participate in a panel of district representatives during the first day of the event and then will be able to interview candidates individually on day two.

Immediately following the above mentioned West Michigan out of state Teacher Fair I will fly to Salt Lake City, Utah to participate in a Professional Development Forum regarding K-8 social studies and science curriculum. Mr. Peace has been invited to participate as well. The forum will run from Wednesday through Friday, March 9-11, 2016. We will both return to Phoenix on Friday, March 11, 2016.

Board Report Governing Board Good Things Mrs. Cline-Sanders stated when in doubt I always know what is going on in part of the high school. The Globe High school FFA dairy judging team entered the state contest a few weeks ago and won the district contest and took 4th for the state contest, 44 students went to district contest and we had 4 teams in the top 5 and 8 individuals in the top 10 at district. The next stop on the tour is state contest the first week of March. Mrs. Moorhead stated my good thing is reiterating what Mr. Moorhead said in regards to JTED being taken care of. Mr. Jennex stated we heard about our outstanding performance in wrestling with Riley today and our boys and girls basketball teams this year, while our records were pedestrian at some levels but both teams played in the central tournament and lost in their first round. Our boys team by virtue of their state ranking will play on Friday in the state tournament in Prescott.

Recommendations/ New Business

Recommendation of approval of annual Intergovernmental Agreement with San Carlos Johnson O’Malley program by Deb Leverance, Coordinator of Special Projects. Motion No. 132. Mrs. Moorhead moved for approval. Ms. Hunter-Patten seconded. Motion carried. Approval of January monthly budget report for FY16 by Jennifer Kinnard, Director of Business Operations. Motion No. 133. Mrs. Kinnard stated our grant funds have been coming in. We have spent from the remaining budget balance in M&O for the month of January an additional $91,000 and another $90,000 in capital because as I spoke with you in planning for next year, we are pre buying. We’ve purchased tires, toilet paper, paper, printer cartridges. We have been spending a significant amount of this. Capital, we have purchased a new boiler for Copper Rim with new pumps so we can have something with warranty for the next 4 – 5 years. Mrs. Harmon–James moved for approval. Mrs. Cline-Sanders seconded. Motion carried. Approval of January Student Fund monthly budget report for FY16 by Jennifer Kinnard, Director of Business Operations. Motion No. 134. Mrs. Harmon-James moved for approval. Mrs. Moorhead seconded. Motion carried. Approval of CVIT FY16 Plan for Prop 301 Fund by Mike O’Neal, CTE Coordinator. Motion No. 135. Mr. O’Neal stated I am asking for approval tonight for the 301 plan that was approved by the CVIT board about 2 months ago. A little history about it is, basically, CVIT was receiving 301 money from the state for a number of years and they have not been able to disburse it because they do not have teachers on payroll, 301 money goes to teachers. So, what they did with about $40,000 they have been banking and came up with a plan where they give the money to the CTE teachers of the participating districts based on the plan. This will be a 1 time deal, this way they will be able to expend those funds. This is only a 1 time thing because the state quit giving JTED 301 money. There are 3 funding portions of this, the first part comes out of fund 11 which will go into the base pay increase, for Globe Unified School District that is $2,667. We are not going to put into their salary because it is a one-time stipend and if we put it in their contract they may expect it the following years. We have already received the check but have not deposited it until we receive your approval. There are 7 CTE teachers at Globe High School so that $2,667 will be divided up among them of approximately $381.00 each. These teachers will not receive these funds unless they are CTE certified, currently teaching an approved CTE program and must complete the school year. If all components have not been met they will not receive these funds. We are hoping for late to middle June to disburse these funds. The other part is fund 12 which there are 2 parts of, 50% is based on teacher evaluation, which they must meet 4 of the 5 standards within our district evaluation instrument as either highly effective or effective. If they receive a good evaluation they will receive another $381.00. The next one is they will have to market their programs when the 8th grade visit the high school and they need to market their CTE programs and if accomplished they will receive an additional $381.00 along with the previous amounts. The last one is fund 13 where they must accumulate an additional 45 seat hours of professional development. It can be through a college, a combination of CTE advisory meetings, career tech prep meetings, CTE director meetings, in-service hours, any other ADE or CTE approved professional development which is a portion of $5,335 which could be an additional $762. So, a CTE teacher could potentially earn a one-time stipend of $1,905 if they meet all the components of this 301 plan. Mrs. Kinnard stated I just wanted to let you know that this is highly unusual and we have received guidance from the Arizona Auditor General’s office on how to pay this out to our staff because it is a unique situation. Mrs. Moorhead stated if someone doesn’t qualify and you are going to have approximately $381 that does not get used, will that be divided among the teachers that do qualify? Mr. O’Neal stated first of all, every teacher will qualify for fund 11 but if a teacher doesn’t qualify for the others the pot does get a little bigger. Mrs. Harmon-James asked is this for the coming school year or this year. Mr. O’Neal stated the money has to be disbursed this year.

Miss Hunter-Patten asked when you said market their programs, what does that mean. Mr. O’Neal stated High Desert bring their 8th grade class to the high school every year and we give them an orientation of the schools and then they will be broken up into groups and rotate through the different programs. When the teachers market their programs during this time they will have to have some sort of power point presentation, a video and students will assist in their marketing. They have to have some type or documentation of their marketing. Mrs. Moorhead moved for approval. Mrs. Cline-Sanders seconded. Motion carried. Recommendation of approval for modification to teacher salary schedule by Christa DalMolin, Human Resources Supervisor. Motion No. 136. Ms. DalMolin stated I am asking for approval of a slight clarification to the salary schedule. We met with Mrs. Bainton, our attorney last Tuesday and she recommended that on the certified staff salary schedule that we make 2 points of clarification. The first being that it is for initial placement only, this is not a traditional salary schedule where there are steps for each year. The second item of clarification is where we are calling out specifically the base amount of salary monies that is being taken from proposition 301 money, at this point it is $1,906 for our certified staff. Mrs. Cline-Sanders moved for approval. Mrs. Harmon-James seconded. Motion carried.

Future Meetings The next three regularly scheduled Governing Board Meetings are March 2, 2016, March 16, 2016 and April 5, 2016.

Adjourn. Motion No. 137. Mrs. Moorhead moved for approval at 6:36 P.M. Ms. Hunter-Patten seconded. Motion carried.
