XVIII. Motion Concerning Personnel XIX. Adjournment The regular meeting of the Board of Education of the West Des Moines Community School District was held on Monday, December 9, 2013, at the Learning Resource Center, 3550 Mills Civic Parkway, West Des Moines, Iowa 50265. I. Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by President Elizabeth Brennan at 7:00 p.m. II. Roll Call: The secretary noted the following Board members present: Elizabeth Brennan, David Brown, Kevin Carroll, H. Milton Cole, Andi Lipman, Vicky Poole and Tali Greenspon. Absent: None. III. Open Forum: Jim Mollison, Valley High School Principal, noted that the Valley High School Department chairs voted unanimously against the proposal being brought forward regarding the Scholars program. They want to submit a letter to the Board and Mollison agreed to read the letter to the Board on behalf of the Valley High School Department chairs. The letter follows:

To the members of the West Des Moines Community School Board, It has come to our attention that there is some confusion over our strong opposition to the proposed change for the Scholars Diploma at Valley. We have drafted the following explanation in an attempt to make our position on this issue more clear. In order to provide insight, we must recapture a little background. Historically, the Scholars program used to require a minimum of a 4.0 GPA in a curricular area, but Valley also used to offer a .5 weight to AP courses. When it was proposed that the weighting for AP courses be increased to 1.0, Valley staff felt very strongly that we would only support the greater weight for AP courses if we increased the criteria for the Scholars program as well. This was a stipulation that Valley teachers knew needed to be attached in order to ensure rigor and true distinction for scholarly performance. Therefore, the criteria was changed and students are required to maintain all A’s in the curricular area. The current proposal (which allows students to earn a Scholars Diploma with a 4.0 GPA instead of all A’s in the curricular area) is reducing the rigor and therefore reducing the “distinction” part of the diploma. We want the Scholars distinction to carry with it a sense of true accomplishment at achieving outstanding performance in one particular area of strength. If a student earns 80% in an AP course, then that student will earn a 4.0 with the weighted grade. We do not agree with the idea that a student earning all B’s in their AP courses qualifies as meeting a scholarly distinction. Additional concern has arisen for the difference in requirements for the Scholars versus the Honors Diploma. In order to clarify the difference, when a student is working toward an Honors Diploma, they must excel in ALL core areas that we offer, and must take the highest level courses in ALL areas. This is much more challenging than a student who specializes in one area of strength. Therefore, the 4.0 GPA seems to be reasonable to give the student some latitude, while still maintaining the rigor of the diploma. When we discussed this proposal in our Department Chairs meeting (which constitutes one member representing each department at Valley) we were unanimous in our opposition to change the Scholars Diploma to a 4.0 requirement. It has come to our attention that this component may have been overlooked at the Board Workshop on November 18th, and that is the reason for this letter. We would like to make our position very clear that we do not feel this change is in the best interest of our students at Valley. We

Page 3: MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING … · want the Scholars distinction to carry with it a sense of true accomplishment at achieving outstanding performance in one particular area of strength

believe we must work to maintain rigor and maintain the high accomplishment the Scholars Diploma currently holds for our students. It is a true reflection of scholarly performance in an academic area! We appreciate your consideration of our position on this issue and would welcome additional questions. Sincerely, Valley Department Chairs

Cole provided the following comments: I would like to make a comment at this time. It is with mixed emotions that I take time to note the

retirement of Dr. Lori Alexander Diebel as indicated in the West Des Moines Community Schools staff transition report that has been distributed this evening. It is hard to imagine our school system without Dr. Diebel – both the void that we would have known had she not been in our presence and the huge void that will take place with her departure. Lori’s initial hire was as a teacher, she then became an elementary school principal serving Rex Mathis and Clegg Park. From there, Lori became the person in charge – the Principal once again at the about to open Valley Southwoods Freshman High School. I have spoken to teachers and administrators that worked with Lori in getting VSW “up-and-running.” In commenting on VSW’s beginnings, the one name that is mentioned over and over again – in a good-good way – is Lori Diebel. All of us have known Lori as the guru of “hiring-firing and more.” Lori’s recruiting, hiring and keeping outstanding educators marks our district. “WDM schools” is a place that educators, parents and students seek out. Much of this is because of the environment that Lori has helped to create. Whether the situation with a hire is outstanding or the rare occasion where a person does not work out –professionalism always marks Dr. Diebel’s decision making – a fair call to all involved. Lori always has a professional attitude. Her relationship with others is marked by compassion and empathy. She is a person of great loyalty, tolerance and self-control. Dr. Diebel treats everyone with respect and gratitude. Lori, we can never thank you enough for your 1,001 plus contributions to the WDM schools. The crack in my voice tells all listening that this is a time of mixed feelings. Two things I can cite with absolute assuredness: WDM schools are better because of you; and second your dad, Superintendency Alexander – another lifelong educator – is looking down and saying “good job dear daughter – great job.” Thank you Lori, thank you Lori, thank you!

IV. Consent Agenda: It was moved by Brown and seconded by Lipman to approve the consent agenda as presented. The motion was approved by unanimous consent.

Change Order(s) – VHS Phase 3B: Administration received change order 018 from DDVI, Inc. pertaining to the Valley High School Phase 3B Project. The change order is for the items listed below: CCD 3B-PR334 - RFI 582 was authored after confirming the existing stage floor was a wood assembly and not a concrete-wood assembly. The 1969 drawing set also confirmed the wood floor and wood trap access units. The general prime contractor had the existing floor condition reviewed by two flooring contractors. To add linoleum to the floor, the existing wood slat floor surface needs fastened, filled, and then an overlay completed to create a suitable substrate. PR 334 was published confirming both the finding and repair recommendation for the existing worn wood surface. The corrective action requires adding a 3/4" plywood full floor overlay, installing a 1/4" underlayment, and adding linoleum flooring for Drama Room 1731. This is the cost to repair the existing worn wood surface, add a 3/4" plywood full floor overlay, and install linoleum with a 1/4" underlayment for the new Drama Room 1731 per PR 334 / RFI 582. Design Change – Existing Stage Floor Repair: Add: $17,922.00 CCD 3B-PR442 - RFI 776 was submitted after confirming that the Area N return ductwork, damper, and register for the ductwork running along the North wall of Drama Room 1731 would not fit in the duct chase. PR 442 was published confirming that the northeast chase wall is to stop 8" above ceiling height to allow for the ductwork to pass above and that a portion of the return grilles in the chase walls be blanked off to fit in the wall. This is the cost to delete a portion of the chase wall per PR 442. Design Error: Deduct: ($718.00) CCD 3B-PR466 - RFI 836 was authored after confirming the existing to remain above ceiling plumbing piping and sprinkler piping was installed tight to the existing structural steel in Corridor C1509B just outside of the pool. The new ductwork installation in this space does not fit within the available above ceiling space. PR 466 was published confirming to add a bulkhead and lower the ceiling 4" so the ductwork fits above ceiling and coordinates with the existing piping. This is the cost to add a 16-0 long bulkhead in Corridor C1509C per PR 466. Design Change – Existing Piping Coordination: Add: $546.00 CCD 3B-PR468 - RFI 855 was published after confirming approximately 18'-0" of new ductwork at the North end of Corridor C1509 had a new light fixture below the ductwork in the middle of the ductwork run would not fit between the bottom of existing steel structure and the new ceiling height. PR 468 was published confirming to add a bulkhead at the South end of the ductwork run and lower the ~18-0 of North end corridor ceiling to 8'-3". This is the cost to add a 10-0 bulkhead across the hallway for a proper ceiling transition per PR 468. Design Error: Add: $559.00

CCD 3B-PR484 - RFI 937 was authored after the ceiling was demolished in future Journalism Room 1676. The West wall of Room 1676 is a 2-hour rated fire wall. It was found that the existing West wall in old Room 235/400 did not extend to the existing steel deck, rather the wall was approximately 5'-0" short of the metal deck and had existing wood blocking and transite (asbestos) paneling. Solem notified Robbins of the transite (asbestos) panels for removal. PR 484 was published confirming to remove the existing wood blocking on the masonry wall to make room for extending the existing masonry wall to the metal deck per fire rated gypsum assembly shaft wall. This is the cost to demolish the existing wood blocking and furnish and install a new gypsum assembly 2-hour shaft wall per PR 484. Unforeseen: Add: $4,344.00 CCD 3B-PR492 - RFI 972 was published after confirming that the structure and existing mechanical unit could not be removed to open up additional show choir storage without substantial structural redesign. Mollison requested consideration to add a door from Room 1728 into Room 1108B for supplemental storage consideration. PR 492 confirmed the request to add a door between Rooms 1728 and 1108B. This is the cost to demolish the opening, furnish and install a door/frame/hardware, rework the gypsum jambs, and repaint the opening and frame per PR 492. Design Change – Owner Request (Mollison, Robbins): Add: $3,435.00 CCD 3B-RFI585 - RFI 585 clarified in rooms 1611 and 1613 the walls with the door and the bulkhead will not be painted the accent color. No cost(s) anticipated/submitted. Design Omission: Add: $0.00 CCD 3B-RFI714 - RFI 714 was published following punchlisting and review of the existing plastic laminate light switch mounting board in 12 rooms. Upon review it was determined to request a paint option in lieu of a remove and wall patch option. This is the cost to furnish and install primer and paint on existing switch boards in 12 rooms per RFI 714. Design Change – Owner Request (Robbins): Add: $367.00 CCD 3B-RFI803 - RFI 803 was published after demolition confirmed the existing footing and foundation wall along gridline J2 from JF to JI matched the foundation assembly shown on the 1968 drawing set. The 2012 drawings showed installing a new foundation; however, there was an existing foundation wall at this location that was not shown. Demolition drawing AD1.1L did not show removing the existing foundation, thus, modifying the existing footings with a new foundation wall and footing connection was confirmed as the best option. After further review, the structural engineer determined the existing foundation could remain and the existing foundation could be modified by underpinning the foundation in lieu of removing the existing foundation wall. KDent reviewed the wall and confirmed no additional envelope requirements were required. PR 446R was published confirming the foundation changes at this location for approximately 75-0 feet. The waterproofing requirements did not change. No cost change for DDVI. Design Error: Add: $0.00 CCD 3B-RFI856 - RFI 856 was authored after confirming the existing clock in Room 1631 is located on the South wall. The existing clock location is in conflict with the new projection screen and electrical/data rough-ins. The response to RFI 856 confirmed relocating the existing clock to the East wall. This is the cost to patch the wall per RFI 856. Design Error: Add: $62.00 Contract Summary: Original Contract Sum: $6,920,000.00 Previous Change Order Amount: $480,365.00 Current Change Order Amount: $26,517.00 New Contract Amount: $7,426,882.00 Change Order Percent Amount: 7.3% Sales and Service Tax funds have been allocated for this project. Administration has received change order 007 from Forrest and Associates, Inc. pertaining to the Valley High School Phase 3B Project. The change order is for the items listed below: CCD 3B-PR449 - RFI 804 was published after confirming there was no existing access to the (2) existing pipe chases for the lavatories in restrooms 1504F and 1503E and following confirmation of plumbing piping within the existing pipe chases. PR 449 was published confirming the chase walls are to be cut out so that the lavatory set pipings can be re-routed south to remain in the chase walls. This is the cost to

Page 7: MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING … · want the Scholars distinction to carry with it a sense of true accomplishment at achieving outstanding performance in one particular area of strength

remove additional glazed block and patch in at glazed block wall removals for the lavatory moves in Rooms 1504F and 1503E per PR 449. Design Change – Existing Wall Access: Add: $972.00 CCD 3B-PR452 - RFI 814 was published after finding the existing plumbing piping chase for the lavatories serving restrooms 1503E and 1503G did not have access panels. The finding was reviewed with Robbins who confirmed to proceed with pricing to furnish and install access doors at these (2) plumbing chase locations from the adjacent storage room walls. PR 452 confirmed to request pricing for the additional access panels. This is the cost to remove two 3-0 x 3-0 concrete masonry rough openings and furnish and install (2) lintels per PR 452. Unforeseen: Add: $750.00 CCD 3B-PR454 - RFI 819 was published following review of Area J Girl's Restroom 1600B existing plumbing piping for the two new sink locations. The drawings show reusing supply piping at this location. Robbins and Solem reviewed onsite and it was confirmed the existing piping and shrouding was inadequate based upon renovation of this space. Rather than reuse or modify the surface mounted shroud for the supply water piping, new piping was routed into the block wall. PR 454 was published confirming this pipe re-routing was acceptable. This is the cost to remove and patch concrete block work per PR 454. Design Change – Owner Request (Robbins): Add: $1,498.00 CCD 3B-PR462 - RFI 826 was published following building separation and demolition along Gridline JF. The existing foundation wall was found to be a combination of brick and concrete block patchwork stepping down in elevation. No work to rebuild the foundation in this area was planned for on the drawings. The foundation as uncovered was not suitable to build the new wall details upon. PR 462 confirmed foundation corrective action requirements. This is the cost to delete the 4" concrete masonry footing width extension from footing to new wall height per PR 462. Unforeseen: Deduct: ($704.00) CCD 3B-PR492 - RFI 972 was published after confirming that the structure and existing mechanical unit could not be removed to open up additional show choir storage without substantial structural redesign. Mollison requested consideration to add a door from Room 1728 into Room 1108B for supplemental storage consideration. PR 492 confirmed the request to add a door between Rooms 1728 and 1108B. This is the cost to install a lintel and rework the masonry jambs per PR 492. Design Change – Owner Request (Mollison and Robbins): Add: $676.00 CCD 3B-705R - RFI 705R was submitted after confirming the final ductwork and piping configurations through the existing hollowcore floor structure in the SE Fieldhouse Storage Balcony. The mechanical drawings showed a downward vertical drop to tie in supply air ductwork for the Administration air handling unit (AHU 4) in the balcony, however, the side-by-side ductwork configuration as shown would not work due to space constraints to tie into the existing ductwork in the mechanical shaft above Business Ed Room 1121. The ductwork had to be reconfigured to be stacked in the balcony space, thus, the supply air ductwork vertical drop ductwork had to be moved to the center of the room along the North wall and then interrupted the hollowcore precast floor. The change then required adding a structural support at this location that was not originally shown on the drawings. This RFI coordinated ductwork installations with the masonry contractor, no cost change. Design Change - Coordination: Add: $0.00 CCD 3B-803 - RFI 803 was published after demolition confirmed the existing footing and foundation wall along gridline J2 from JF to JI matched the foundation assembly shown on the 1968 drawing set. The 2012 drawings showed installing a new foundation; however, there was an existing foundation wall at this location that was not shown. Demolition drawing AD1.1L did not show removing the existing foundation, thus, modifying the existing footings with a new foundation wall and footing connection was confirmed as the best option. After further review, the structural engineer determined the existing foundation could remain and the existing foundation could be modified by underpinning the foundation in lieu of removing the existing foundation wall. KDent reviewed the wall and confirmed no additional envelope requirements were required. PR 446R confirmed no masonry changes associated with PR 446R/RFI803, thus, no cost change. Design Error: Add: $0.00 Contract Summary: Original Contract Sum: $946,100.00 Previous Change Order Amount: $64,080.00 Current Change Order Amount: $3,192.00 New Contract Amount:

CCD 3B-RFI789 - RFI 789 was published after confirming the ductwork routings shown on the drawings for the Fieldhouse girls’ locker room exhaust ductwork did not match field conditions. The ductwork called out to be demolished did not extend through the wall; rather, it ran vertically in a mechanical shaft and extended to an exhaust hood on the roof. A review of the 2005 mechanical drawings showed the ductwork matching findings in the field, not as shown on the demolition drawings. The demolition drawings appear to match the 1960s ductwork drawing set. The ductwork, as existing, will require modified demolition work, structural deck repair, and roof system patching. This is the cost to change ductwork demolition scope and cut/cap ductwork at abandoned ductwork locations under two stairways and in the shaft at the removed exhaust hood location per RFI 789. Design Error: Add: $0.00 CCD 3B-RFI852 - RFI 852 was published following review of the storm piping sump pit in the tunnel directly below the NE corner of the old Auditorium (future room 1723B).

Cole submitted the following report: With serving on a jury for a week since we last met I had to forgo several invitations at a number of our

schools. There is one annual event that I look forward to attending each year and was able to participate in. There

is an annual homecoming of sort that alumni choristers attend. The VHS graduates return and join up with the current choir/singer members for the annual songfest. The spirit was great; the singing was over the top.

Upon the completion of the gathering, several graduates came up to me and said the following – “…Ms. Gibbons and Mr. Deignan are great! I wish that I could have studied with them!” Another person said… “These two music teachers are outstanding! Who hired them?” I stated, “Dr. Phyllis Staplin.” The reply was “…well Dr. Staplin needs to be thanked over and over again.” A third person said, “I had not attended one of these in a couple of years – today’s was the best ever because of the music teachers. Thanks to the School Board for the vision of hiring Haley and Ryan.”

Brennan gave a special thanks to Poole who organized the donation by Valley retirees of 16 turkeys and hams to Valley’s Booster Pak program. Brennan also noted an article on the New Tech High School in South Dakota, which a WDMCS group recently visited. She read the brief article to the Board. She said we are in District No. 5 for the IASB and members need to vote for their IASB board members.

IX. Program of Studies for 2014-2015: It was moved by Lipman and seconded by Greenspon to pull VHS 3 & VHS 4 and approve District 7-12 Mathematics, VHS 1 DMACC Dual Enrollment, VHS 2 DMACC Math Course Descriptions, WCC 1 Integrated Algebra 1, VSW 1 Integrated Algebra 1, VSW 2 Math Foundations and JH 1 7th & 8th Math Course Title Change as previously discussed. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote. Lipman said Program of Studies proposal VHS 3 has been withdrawn due to changes by DMACC for its ALEKS assessment. It was moved by Lipman and seconded by Greenspon to approve an alternative to VHS 4 that would:

1. Grandfather all students in the prior Scholars Requirement, which required a 4.0 GPA in all classes in a scholar area for a Scholar Designation;

2. Direct Teaching and Learning Services to immediately begin working on a new program of studies proposal for Scholars Designation requirements; and

3. Direct the administration at Valley to inform students, parents and teachers of these changes so that no student is penalized for past confusion about the Scholar Designation requirements.

Brennan said she appreciates the teachers’ comments and this will allow further discussion of how to improve the program. Brown asked which group of students would be grandfathered. Lipman said it would be everyone until we make the changes and that is why TLS is to immediately begin working on this. Poole said she felt it should have been withdrawn because there was so much opposition from the Valley teachers and 7-12 administration that it should remain as it was changed in 2010. However, she said she understands that there was miscommunication so we do not want to penalize students who were under a false understanding of what it was. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote. X. Public Hearing – conveyance of an easement: Brennan announced that this agenda item is the time and place for the public hearing and meeting when interested individuals can express their views, both orally and in writing, on the proposal to convey a Communication Easement to Qwest Corporation/CenturyLink QC. Notice of the hearing was published on November 29, 2013. Inquiry was made whether any written objections had been filed. The secretary stated that no written objections had been filed. Oral objections were then called for and none were made. It was moved by Brown and seconded by Cole to close the hearing. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote. XI. Facility Projects

a. Construction Project Update – VHS: Dan Solem of the Weitz, Co. said that the journalism room will not be occupied until fall semester, as there will be some egress concerns. Solem then referenced the project contingency summary in the Board packet. He reported that crews remain on schedule for the renovation work and for staff to move in during Spring Break. For the addition, the precast is nearly completed. On the inside of the building, crews are starting to work on a heating solution. The ductwork and piping in the set shop and south mezzanine are beginning in the auditorium. Poole asked about the trap on the stage floor. Solem explained the trap and its structure. Poole asked if there needs to be an individual there to assist with usage. Solem said yes. Lipman said the trap in particular is something that students should not be working on. Solem explained the knowledge needed to work with scaffolding. Brown asked about the orchestra pit and the difference between it and the trap. Solem said the existing auditorium had removal panels that were supported by intermediate beams. This does not have those beams and allows sets to be set up in the space. The new auditorium will function differently than the existing one, Solem said. There was further discussion about the trap. Solem reviewed the budget and contingency of the Valley project. He said the project started with a $1.5 million contingency and now there an overage. So it will take $2.8 million to complete the project. Lipman said it is extremely helpful to provide the history and current fund situation. Brown asked if the money we spend now will be taken out of sales tax funds that we would have for future projects. He asked Bobek about research

Page 21: MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING … · want the Scholars distinction to carry with it a sense of true accomplishment at achieving outstanding performance in one particular area of strength

on how this will impact future facility projects. Bobek said our financial advisors are working on updating our cash flow projections that correspond to the 10 year plan. b. CenturyLink – VHS communication easement: It was moved by Lipman and seconded by Brown to approve the following resolution:
