Welcome to the Great Falls Public Schools Board of Trustees meeting!

If this is your first meeting

If this is your first time attending a meeting, let us extend our special welcome! These meetings are designed to give everyone the opportunity to participate in seeing how the Great Falls trustees facilitate school business.

What is the purpose of these meetings?

The meetings of the Great Falls Public Schools Board of Trustees are always open to the public. These meetings are held to officially conduct the business of the school district, as governed by Montana law. Trustees are responsible for key decisions, some of which include hiring of employees, reviewing negotiated agreements, approving new curriculum or changes to existing curricula, facility usage requests, and paying of monthly expenses.

How can I address the trustees?

If you’d like to address the trustees on any matter, please fill out a “Request to Speak” card available from the Clerk of the Board at each meeting. Return this card to the Clerk of the Board or the Board Chairperson. This will allow the Chairperson to recognize you at the appropriate time in the meeting and to guarantee you the opportunity to address the board. There are federal and state laws that must be followed when addressing the board to protect the privacy of individuals and to conduct business in an orderly manner. Details can be found on the “Request to Speak” form and on the district’s website at www.gfps.k12.mt.us.

Again – thank you for participating in this democratic process – we appreciate your presence and are glad you are here.

8 1 ACTION ITEMS 2 3 A. Financial Report and Check Register for September 2020 – Director of Business 4 Operations Brian Patrick noted that the beginning check number for Payroll had a 5 smaller than normal beginning number, and did not remain in sequence with the 6 previous months end date. This was due to the ransomware attack on the District. The 7 electronic payroll system was not able to be used resulting in six handwritten checks for 8 employees who receive their payroll via check. The actions taken by the Payroll staff 9 have been thoroughly documented for audit purposes. 10 11 Motion – Gordon Johnson, Seconded – Bill Bronson, passed unanimously to approve 12 the financial report and check register for September 2020 as presented. 13 14 B. Three Year Lease Agreement to Purchase UHF Radios and Connectivity 15 Equipment – Director of Business Operations Brian Patrick explained that two years 16 ago the District made the decision to transition to UHF Radios for internal and external 17 safety communication. Since the decision was made, the District has phased in the 18 purchase of radios. Currently the high school buildings have been equipped and are 19 operational. The District has worked with Industrial Communications & Electronics, Inc. 20 who outlined the complete plan for the District including not only the equipment, but the 21 processes and procedures for monthly system checks. The company has experience 22 with school systems our size as they have set up a similar system for the Billings School 23 District. At a meeting in October, the District Safety Committee recommended the full 24 immediate District-wide implementation of the UHF radio system for school safety 25 purposes. Brian stated that State law outlines the parameters for purchasing items over 26 $80,000. The District published an advertisement for bid in the Great Falls Tribune on 27 November 1, 2020 and November 8, 2020. Industrial Communications & Electronics, 28 Inc. was the only company who responded on the November 16, 2020 due date. The 29 agreement is for 283 radios and accompanying equipment necessary for successful 30 complete implementation of the UHF Radio System. Brian also explained that a portion 31 of the purchase will come from CARES Act money that is available for safety projects. 32 33 Motion – Bill Bronson, Seconded – Teresa Schreiner, passed unanimously to approve 34 the three-year lease agreement to purchase UHF radios and connectivity equipment 35 from Industrial Communications & Electronics, Inc. as presented. 36 37 C. Big Sky Bus Lines Memorandum of Agreement – Director of Business Operations 38 Brian Patrick explained that during a complete shift to remote learning, bus service is 39 not needed to transport students to and from school. Last year, the District entered into 40 discussions with the bus contractor regarding ongoing payments for overhead cost so 41 the company was able to remain viable and ready when school started again. The 42 previous Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) agreement has been discussed and 43 modified to adjust to current conditions. Brian stated that the new MOA provides for a 44 daily rate of the 66 routes to be reduced from $243.02 to $121.51 per day for buses that 45 do not complete their routes due to school closure. Brian said that during the last fiscal 46 year, the District continued to receive payments for Transportation even though the 47 routes were not running. This year, since we are not under a Governor’s Emergency

9 1 Proclamation, when routes do not run the District does not receive reimbursement from 2 the state. 3 4 Motion – Mark Finnicum, Seconded – Bill Bronson, passed unanimously to approve the 5 Memorandum of Agreement with Big Sky Bus Lines as presented. 6 7 D. Big Sky Bus Lines Cleaning Memorandum of Agreement – Director of Business 8 Operations Brian Patrick said that the current contract language with Big Sky Bus Lines 9 does not clearly address the additional cleaning procedures needed during a pandemic. 10 Big Sky Bus Lines is incurring costs for special disinfectants as well as the time existing 11 staff need to thoroughly clean the buses. The Governor provided additional funding for 12 Transportation as part of the Federal CARES Act assistance. Brian stated that this is an 13 allowable expense for the funding. 14 15 Motion – Jeff Gray, Seconded – Mark Finnicum, passed unanimously to approve the 16 cleaning Memorandum of Agreement with Big Sky Bus Lines as presented. 17 18 E. Essential Worker Stipend for Great Falls Public Schools Employees for the 19 2020-2021 School Year – Superintendent Moore and Director of Human Resources 20 Kerry Dattilo explained that due to extreme challenges and additional workload that all 21 of the employees have faced this year during the COVID-19 pandemic, a $500 stipend 22 for staff who are regularly scheduled to work 20 hours or more per week and a $250 23 stipend for staff who are regularly scheduled to work less than 20 hours per week is 24 being requested. Kerry stated that stipends listed are the gross amount and appropriate 25 taxes and retirement deductions will be withheld. Eligible employees must have been 26 employed by the District since September 14, 2020 and must continue to be employed 27 on the date the stipend will be paid, December 10, 2020. The total amount will be paid 28 out of the Business and Operation Fund from the money provided by the Governor’s 29 CARES Act budget to assist schools in addressing COVID-19 concerns. 30 31 All Trustees thanked Great Falls Public Schools employees for their hard work during 32 these difficult times. 33 34 Motion – Gordon Johnson, Seconded – Mark Finnicum, passed unanimously to approve 35 the essential worker stipend for the amount of $500 for staff who are regularly 36 scheduled to work 20 hours or more per week and $250 for staff who are regularly 37 scheduled to work less than 20 hours per week as presented. 38 39 F. Second Reading and Adoption of New and Revised Board Policies 3225, 3225P 40 (New) and 3225F – Superintendent Moore explained that minor changes to Board 41 Policy 3225 have been made, as recommended, and he has not received any 42 comments or concerns on Board Policy 3225F since the first reading on November 9, 43 2020. Superintendent Moore and Trustee Bronson explained that comments and 44 concerns have been forwarded to MTSBA regarding Policy 3225P. This policy will be 45 brought back to the Board for consideration at a future Board meeting. 46 47 Motion – Bill Bronson, Seconded – Gordon Johnson, passed unanimously to approve 48 new and revised Board policies 3225 and 3225F as presented.

10 1 Motion – Bill Bronson, Seconded – Gordon Johnson, passed unanimously to postpone 2 the approval of Board Policy 3225P until MTSBA presents their suggested revisions to 3 the Policy. 4 5 6 ACTION: OTHER 7 8 9 REPORTS, DISCUSSION, AND POLICIES 10 11 A. School Elections Calendar 2021 and Trustee Filing Timeline – Director of 12 Business Operations Brian Patrick explained that the Election date this school year is 13 Tuesday, May 4, 2021. One Board member position is open and individuals who are 14 interested in filing must do so between December 10, 2020 and March 25, 2021. April 1, 15 2021 is the last day Trustee candidates can withdraw from the election and is the 16 deadline for write-in candidates. 17 18 B. Review Year 4 of the 5-Year 2016-2021 Technology Plan and 2020 Summer 19 Projects – Director of Information Technology Tom Hering reviewed the Technology 20 plan goals in detail by showcasing projects that have been completed, projects that are 21 in process and projects that have yet to be completed. Tom stated that the majority of 22 the projects not complete are due to budgeting issues. The Technology Department 23 worked on the new Longfellow Elementary School and Great Falls High School allowing 24 the District to adjust for the increased costs on the projects. 25 Chairperson Cahill, Trustees Finnicum and Johnson along with Superintendent Moore 26 thanked Tom Hering and the Technology Department for all of their hard work, 27 especially with schools utilizing remote learning for the past two weeks. 28 29 C. Superintendent Evaluation Process – Chairperson Cahill reminded the public to 30 utilize the Evaluation Form located on the Great Falls Public Schools’ website for the 31 upcoming Superintendent Evaluation. Forms and written comments are due back to 32 Chairperson Cahill January 6, 2021 and must include the individual’s name and phone 33 number. 34 35 D. Discussion, Committee Reports, and Comments – 36 Trustee Schreiner explained how difficult it is to teach young children empathy and 37 complimented Great Falls Public Schools’ teachers on the wonderful job they do. She 38 hopes that, in the approaching holiday season, the community can show empathy and 39 follow the steps to slow the spread of COVID-19. 40 Trustee Skornogoski expressed her condolences to the family members of Antonio 41 Thierry and Kenneth Maddox as well as students and staff who knew them. She 42 thanked Food Service employees for ensuring students in need received food during 43 the school closure. Trustee Skornogoski complemented teachers on prioritizing the use 44 of District technology platforms while in-class instruction was taking place. This made it 45 easier for the transition to remote learning on November 16, 2020. 46 47 48

Good Apple Awards

STRATEGIC PLAN

Healthy, Safe and Secure Schools

https://gfps.k12.mt.us/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/2020-2021-Strategic-Goals-Key-Results-Object.pdf

BACKGROUND

An individual letter of appreciation and our “Good Apple” pin has been forwarded to the individual whose achievements are summarized in this notice. This award is an expression of appreciation and affection, and we ask all who have received it to wear the “Good Apple” with pride! If the person is a district employee, a copy of our letter has been placed in their personnel file. What follows are nominations for a Good Apple Award.

DISCUSSION

Steve Yates, Associate Principal, East Middle School, was recommended for Good Apple Award by, Trisha Hasselstrom, Library Media Assistant, East Middle School, because of the following: We have had a very rough month at East and Steve calmly led us through it. He kept us informed of situations as needed, checked on us to be sure we were doing okay, and gave words of encouragement and praise. It meant a lot to me that he took the extra time to come ask me if I was doing okay or if there was anything I needed. Thanks for being strong for all of us Steve, you are greatly appreciated.

Steve Yates, Associate Principal, East Middle School, was recommended for a Good Apple Award by Brenda Dockter, Attendance Secretary, East Middle School, because of the following: Steve became our ROCK at East during some extremely emotional and trying times. He remains strong for all of us as we navigate through what seems like a “storm” or a “bad dream”. Not only does he make sure each one of us is doing okay, he communicates with us and is always sure to keep us informed as needed. Steve clearly sees that our staff is a RAM family and reminds us to lean on each other, comfort each other and with that we will overcome. His words of encouragement strengthen us and his leadership is a blessing. We are beyond grateful to work with him at East Middle School.

Joe Vance, Data Center Computer Analyst, Debbie Davila, Data Center Students Systems Analyst, Katie Allen, Business Office Lead Payroll Technician and Susan Woyth, Human Resources Administrative Assistant, were recommended for Good Apple Awards by Lance Boyd, Director of Student Services, and

19 Assistant Superintendents Ruth Uecker and Heather Hoyer, because of the following: Every fall, the District embarks on a data collection and verification process called the TEAMS report. This report, which is turned into OPI, verifies everything from student enrollment in CTE courses by gender, to the appropriate licensure of all teachers and counselors, to the qualification of teacher aides, to the aggregate hours we teach and train teachers, and much more. Accreditation hinges on this accurate data that shows we are at or above compliance with State of Montana standards. Joe Vance, Debbie Davila, Katie Allen, and Susan Woyth work tirelessly with District Leadership and OPI to code, pull and input data, and adjust upload errors to be sure that Great Falls Public Schools is accurately reflected to the State of Montana. One single mistyped number or letter can bring an effective halt to the process, impacting all the schools. Every year, these dedicated professionals spend days to be sure we are perfect in reporting. We couldn't do this hard work without their talents and dedication.

Bill Clark, Science Teacher, North Middle School, was recommended for a Good Apple by Kasi Thompson, English Teacher, Terri Halverson, Social Studies Teacher, April Wavra, Academic Intervention Teacher and Kurt Shepherd, Math Teacher, all North Middle School, because of the following: Bill Clark has been and continues to be the main reason that communication between parents and teachers on the TAG Team is so efficient. Bill sends our daily homework email and reminds parents of upcoming events. He goes out of his way to make sure parents not only receive the communications from the team but he also will relay replies to his emails to the rest of the team so that parent questions can be addressed in a timely manner. Remote leaning didn’t keep Bill from fulfilling this duty. Bill made sure that parents received communication on what was happening and what changes we were making. One of his biggest contributions was coming up with the idea of how we would communicate with parents last spring on if their students had passed classes or if more work was needed. Bill realized that each teacher would be making over 100 phone calls and parents would be receiving at least seven phone calls. To streamline this communication Bill had the idea to pool our information and have each teacher fill out a shared spreadsheet of which students had passed their class. Then each teacher would call their Connections class and let parents know what classes the students needed to work on in order to pass. This saved teachers a large amount of time and prevented parents from being overwhelmed by phone calls. Bill does a ton of work welcoming students to our team. He took on the responsibility of helping students with how to log into the computers at the start of the year. He taught them how to find each class’s Google Classroom, how to find their school email, and how to check their grades on PowerSchool. This was made even more difficult when our network was shut down due to a ransomware attack. Despite these obstacles, Bill managed to get our students signed up and ready to go. With that accomplished our two-week stint of remote learning was much easier. Bill is also our go-to person for introducing new students to our team. He welcomes them and gives them all the information they need to get started with how our team works. His outstanding organizational skills combined with how he naturally communicates with kids makes him perfect for this role. In addition to all of these extra roles Bill fills, he is an amazing science teacher and an even better colleague. Bill knows his subject matter and finds a way to make the kids enjoy coming to his class. He quickly builds relationships with his students and maintains those relationships to help mentor these students in academic and non-academic areas. He is always willing to talk to a student and find a way to make them feel valued, even when he is correcting their behavior. He can say in two sentences what takes the rest of us two paragraphs to say in a parent conference. He not only makes school fun for his students but he makes it fun for his colleagues too. He’s always ready with a quick joke or comment that breaks the tension and makes us smile and laugh. While this is vital in a normal year, it is even more important this year with the added stresses that we are dealing with. We would be lost without his help and friendship.

Montana School Boards Association’s (MTSBA) Dues

STRATEGIC PLAN

Stewardship and Accountability Provide prudent stewardship and accountability of public resources to best support educational opportunity and student success.

https://gfps.k12.mt.us/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2019-2020-Final-Goals-Key-Results-Objectives.pdf

BACKGROUND

Annually, our District pays dues to MTSBA for their comprehensive services and programs. Their leadership and service during the pandemic has been outstanding. This year, the process for approving the annual dues changed due to an adjusted meeting schedule of the membership. The process is included in the discussion section below. The MTSBA bylaws include a process that includes a dues formula that is based on a number of factors. These include the total current spending by each member three years preceding the year to which the dues apply. The lag between the year of spending vs. the year of dues to which such spending applies is to ensure that MTSBA is relying on audited data submitted by OPI to the National Center for Education Statistics.

The dues formula is largely sensitive to each member’s local funding. It provides for a decrease in dues when a member’s expenditures drop from year to year and provides an increase in each year when a member’s expenditures rise. The seven largest districts pay an established flat rate.

Discussion

Once the revenue estimate is complete, it is subject to approval by the MTSBA Board of Directors. When approved by the MTSBA Board, the dues revenue estimate is presented to the members for their approval. With the changed schedule for conducting the Annual Meeting, approval or rejection of the dues revenue estimate by the members is being conducted through an electronic ballot distributed to each member school board per the MTSBA Bylaws.

38

For purposes of estimating the dues revenue for FY2022, OPI’s data set for total current spending for FY2019, which reflected an increase in total current spending by the members of 3.42% from FY18-19:

• Growth in Total Current Spending, %, FY18-19 = 3.42%

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

Pursuant to the Bylaws, it is estimated the impact of this growth on the existing dues formula is 3.42% and by applying the Bylaws-adjusted formula to total current spending of the members from FY19. On the basis of these referenced calculations, it is estimated that the total MTSBA dues for all member districts revenue would increase under the adjusted formula by approximately $34,010. The impact on our school district is estimated to be $650 which is just below the average of 3.42%. For the 2020-2021 school year, our District paid $18,682. The projected dues for the 2021-2022 school year for our district is $19,332.
