June 2, 2014

SCHOOL DISTRICT/LAKE GROVE PARK BUDGET PUBLIC HEARING - 6:00 P.M. Present: Chair Patti Zebrowski, Mr. Bob Barman, Mrs. Liz Hartman, Mrs. Sarah Howell, and

Mr. John Wendland.

Staff Present: Superintendent-clerk Dr. William Korach; Executive Directors Dr. Donna Atherton, Dr. Jonnie Shobaki, Mr. Stuart Ketzler, Mrs. Mary Kaer, and Mr. Patrick Tomblin; Directors Mrs. Nancy Duin and Mr. Rob Dreier, and Administrative Assistant Mrs. Shari Huffmaster.

There you will find a time-stamped version of the minutes’ document which corresponds to archived video of this meeting. Chair Zebrowski called the School District/Lake Grove Park Budget Public Hearing to order at 6:00 p.m. Mr. Ketzler reviewed that the district is required by budget law to hold a hearing which has been noticed in the Lake Oswego Review with a specific time and location. He stated that the budget was approved without amendments by the Legal Budget Committee at its May 7, 2014 meeting. Mr. Ketzler stated that the budget hearing must be kept open for the entire 15-minute allocation. Mrs. Howell stated that, while not germane to the budget hearing but related to the swim park, she received an email from a citizen inquiring about eligibility for access to the Lake Grove Swim Park. Mr. Ketzler clarified that eligibility/access to the Park is determined through deeded rights granted to specific resident addresses in the Lake Grove area. Given that no patrons were present to offer feedback/perspective to the Board on the School District/Lake Grove Park Budget, the Board entered into a work session discussion. Dr. Korach provided Board members with a copy of a document titled Addressing Problems, which is a model he developed for his Parenting Minds classes last fall and speaks to problem solving. Using the Addressing Problems model, Dr. Korach shared the distinctions in how novices and experts work through a problem and provided examples of solvable and unsolvable problem solving approaches:

Solvable: find it—define the problem and fix it—address the problem

Unsolvable: accept it—define the problem and confront it—address the problem In reference to working with children on problem solving, Dr. Korach noted that adults often make the mistake of assuming that all problems are solvable when that is not necessarily the case in terms of the outcome someone is looking to achieve. He shared differences in problem-solving approaches between problems which are solvable and problems which are non solvable.

323

Dr. Korach stated that experts and novices take different approaches to problem solving. He noted that experts work through a problem going forward because their expertise allows them to understand the problem while identifying strategy choices in relation to the goal state. Novices, who have significantly less ability to understand the problem, work backwards because the goal state they wish to attain is the best reference for them to relate strategy options in solving the problem.

In reference to employee contract negotiations, Dr. Korach asked Board members how they think expert and novice problem solvers would differ in their approach to negotiating complex labor agreements.

The School District/Lake Grove Park Budget Public Hearing adjourned at 6:15 p.m. No public comments were provided.

325

Transportation Services – Increases in 2013-14 disbursed and expended amounts compared to the prior year are due primarily to delayed billings in the prior year.

Board members asked questions seeking clarification on anticipated FTE levels at the high school next year which are driven by the Board-approved target ratios with administration anticipating moderate declines at all secondary schools in 2014-15 and the breakdown of textbook expenses between 2013-14 and 2014-15 depending on the timing of the receipt of textbook materials/ orders, etc.

GOVERNANCE

7.0 BOARD BUSINESS, POLICY AND PROGRAM AGENDA

Chair Zebrowski asked that the Board consider electing a School Board Chair for the 2014-15 school year.

Dr. Shobaki reviewed that the K-5 English/Language Arts textbooks have been available for public review and Board review since May 6, 2014. She informed the Board that while patrons did come in and review the textbooks, no one completed a review form. Dr. Shobaki stated that if approved by the Board, the vendor has indicated that the district would likely be able to receive the textbooks in June.

Dr. Shobaki stated that the Language Arts curriculum review cycle is every seven years and confirmed that staff is very supportive of this textbook recommendation.

On motion by Mr. John Wendland, seconded by Mrs. Liz Hartman, the Board unanimously approved the adoption of the following K-5 English/Language Arts textbooks:

2-5 Reach for Reading Cengage Learning dba National Geographic

7.3 Secondary Mathematics Adoption (Action) 7.3 Secondary Mathematics Adoption

Dr. Atherton noted that the secondary mathematics textbooks have been available for public review and Board review since May 6, 2014. She shared the feedback received from five patrons

326

which was primarily related to math instruction in general, as well as some specific textbook feedback. The feedback was supportive of the recommended textbooks. Dr. Atherton called attention to one patron comment related to using technology and eBooks; however, she explained that the district’s Technology Committee felt that the district was about 5-6 years away from eBooks given that subscriptions are renewed on a yearly basis, expensive, and require that each student have his/her own computer.

Dr. Atherton clarified that IXL is approved for teachers to use with students; however, because it is not core, teachers only use it once each week for skill practice. In response to Board inquiry, Dr. Atherton shared that the curriculum committee has reviewed and selected college-level (designated as AP) textbooks. She stressed that the recommended textbooks are all new/updated to fit the standards teachers need to teach for Common Core.

Following the presentation and discussion, and on motion by Mrs. Liz Hartman, seconded by Mr. John Wendland, the Board unanimously approved the adoption of the following grades 6-12 mathematics textbooks: (Action)

7.4 Parent Committee Feedback-Real Estate Study (Info)

7.4 Parent Committee Feedback-Real Estate Study

Mrs. Duin reviewed that at the May 12 district-wide parent committee meeting, attendees participated in breakout discussions and were asked to provide initial feedback on the real estate study. She presented the feedback received to date.

Mrs. Duin referenced the busy time of year and the fact that relatively few responses have been submitted by the May 22 initial deadline. Consequently, she stated that a message was sent to all committee members last week reminding them of the opportunity to provide feedback, and asking for additional submissions by the end of the school year. Mrs. Duin shared that she will batch additional responses and ensure that they are provided to the Board.

7.5 Inter-District Transfers Adjustment (Action)

7.5 Inter-District Transfers Adjustment

Mrs. Duin reviewed that the open enrollment and inter-district transfer decisions approved by the School Board earlier this spring allowed open enrollment at Lakeridge High School for incoming

327

grades 9-10, and acceptance of inter-district transfers to Lakeridge High School for incoming grades 10-12. She noted that the decision to accept inter-district transfers was made in consideration of OSAA rules regarding eligibility for nonresident student athletes. Mrs. Duin informed the Board that the district has had a few inquiries from parents of incoming high school freshman students who missed the open enrollment window but who are interested in attending Lakeridge High School. Consequently, in order to provide an opportunity for additional students to enroll, she noted that the administration is recommending the Board consider adjusting its earlier decision and accept inter-district transfers for all grades at Lakeridge High School, with an application deadline of September 15, 2014. In response to Board inquiry, Mrs. Duin confirmed that both the releasing and the accepting districts must approve inter-district transfers.

On motion by Mr. John Wendland, seconded by Mrs. Sarah Howell, the Board unanimously approved adding incoming 9th grade students to its list of grade levels accepted to apply and attend Lakeridge High School via an inter-district transfer. (Action)

7.6 District Calendar for 2014-15 (Action)

7.6 District Calendar for 2014-15

Mrs. Kaer presented the draft 2014-15 School District Calendar for the Board’s approval consideration. She stated that the calendar meets the criteria established in the district’s negotiated agreements, as well as the State requirements for instructional days. Board members received an initial review of the proposed calendar at the May 6 Board meeting. Mrs. Kaer provided an overview of the various contractual obligations, staff work year, inservices, holidays, conference schedules, semesters, quarters and trimesters, and the distinction on grade prep days at the three levels. She stressed that administration has worked hard on the development of this calendar to ensure that it reflects all contractual and administrative needs and requirements. In reference to meeting the State requirements for instructional days, Dr. Korach reviewed that the district is in the process of working to secure a waiver for the 130-hours requirement per course at the high school level. He clarified that the district meets the 990 total instructional hour’s requirement. Dr. Korach talked about how the district is being penalized for offering high school students more course opportunities, which is now counting against the district due to the required per-course hours. He noted that if the district did not offer 8 periods at the high school level and instead offered only 7 more compacted periods each day, it would meet the 130-hours’ requirement. Dr. Korach talked about various ways the district could gain back some of the course hours at the high school level—reduce the number of electives available to students, reduce the number of assemblies, change the schedule for finals, restructure the freshman orientation day, etc. Dr. Korach informed the Board that the State Board will consider the district’s waiver at its June meeting, adding that other school districts that do not meet this 130-hours requirement are also seeking waivers from the state.

328

Board members asked questions seeking clarification in various areas, including reducing/buying back the number of district negotiated furlough days, providing the maximum instructional time for core courses, restructuring the current schedule in areas shared by Dr. Korach to gain additional class time, etc.

Dr. Korach stressed that a change in the high school schedule will require a significant amount of time and process, including the ability for input from stakeholders.

Chair Zebrowski called for public input on the 2014-15 School Calendar. The following comments were shared:

Andrew Duden – LOHS Social Studies teacher Andrew Duden stressed that district furlough days are the greatest blight on its collective effort to provide students with an exceptional educational experience. He stressed that the district’s three furlough days cause harm to the education of its students, adding that they are becoming a foregone conclusion in the yearly school calendar. Mr. Duden advocated for removing the furlough days next year and emphasized the need for teachers to have time to work collaboratively with colleagues to implement a new teacher evaluation system and new curriculum, integrate state and common core standards, develop meaningful assessments, share best practices, and be with their students in the classroom providing a dynamic learning experience.

Laura Paxson-Kluthe – LOEA President Mrs. Paxson-Kluthe reviewed the definition of “furlough day” as it relates to government which is “cutting work days and not paying employees.” Mrs. Paxson-Kluthe referenced the three proposed dates for the district’s furlough days for the 2014-15 school year which are all attached to holidays (as voted on by the teachers) instead of days that could be less instructionally impactful. She expressed her opposition to the institutionalization of these regular “cut days” and stressed that no one benefits from this practice. In reference to the 130-hours of required instructional time at the high school level, Mrs. Paxson-Kluthe noted that elementary and middle level teachers get early release to collaborate with each other to help achieve instructional excellence and develop plans for struggling students, etc. She stated that high school teachers get no such time. Mrs. Paxson-Kluthe advocated for reinstating the cut days and moving the PSAT day to a Saturday. She noted that everything needs to be “on the table” in the discussions on instructional hours. In her closing comments, Mrs. Paxson-Kluthe stated that in these improved economic times and increased tax revenues, it is her sincere hope that the 2014-15 School Calendar will be the last calendar to include cut days.

Dr. Korach agreed that the economy is beginning to show improvement; however, he strongly cautioned the Board against spending its reserves given that the district targeted three years cutting $1M each year ($3M total) to achieve stronger economic stability. He stressed that the Board will need to talk about these issues as part of its strategic planning discussions this summer.

Following discussion and on motion by Mr. John Wendland, seconded by Mrs. Liz Hartman, the Board unanimously approved the 2014-15 School Calendar as presented.

7.7 LOHS Parking Lot Security Camera Request (Action) 7.7 LOHS Parking Lot Security Camera Request

Mr. Ketzler presented a “conceptual” request on behalf of Lake Oswego High School to install a video system to monitor the Lake Oswego High School parking lots and enhance campus safety during the school day. He noted that while a previous School Board expressed a preference for

329

limiting the presence of video surveillance systems on school grounds, permission has been granted for a video surveillance system at Lakeridge High School to monitor portions of its east parking lot and then more recently at Uplands Elementary to monitor the exterior of the school.

Mr. Ketzler explained that School Board policy requires Board approval for capital projects that are anticipated to cost more than $5,000. While a design or cost estimate has not yet been formally prepared for this project, it is anticipated it could cost approximately $25,000, depending on the number, location and type of cameras. Mr. Ketzler stated that funding for this project would come from campus enhancement funds raised at a recent Lake Oswego High School auction. Board members asked questions to seek clarification in various areas including, the precedent set at Lakeridge High and Uplands Elementary for security cameras, proposed timeline for installation of the cameras, the motivation driving the request, proposed location and purpose of the cameras, principal discretion of how parent club funds are utilized, the amount of funds raised for this project, the intent of the fundraisers, etc. Following the Board’s discussion, Chair Zebrowski opened the discussion for public comment. The following comments were shared:

Daniel Vogel – Daniel is a student at Lake Oswego High School. He expressed opposition to the proposed security cameras for a variety of reasons, including costs, the need for other more important purchases (computers for new state testing, microscopes for science labs), project costs that have not been fully vetted, the ability for intruders to avoid security cameras and use alternate entrances into the building, LOHS does not have issues with vandalism, students feel very safe on campus, etc.

Erica North – Erica is a student at Lake Oswego High School. She expressed opposition to the proposed security cameras for a variety of reasons, including the fact that any vandalism would likely take place during non-school hours, monitoring students fosters mistrust, the costs are too high, the comparison to Lakeridge High School is not valid due to the differences in the design of the school entrances and location of student parking lots, students are opposed to “big brother” watching, etc.

After considerable discussion by the School Board and on motion by Mr. John Wendland, seconded by Mrs. Sarah Howell, the Board unanimously agreed to table the discussion until administration seeks further clarification from the Lake Oswego High School administration on this request. (Action)

7.8 Budget Transfer Resolution (Action)

7.8 Budget Transfer Resolution

Mr. Ketzler stated that to ensure compliance with Oregon Local Budget Law, the administration is recommending adoption of a resolution authorizing transfer of budget appropriation authority in the Capital Projects Fund to cover debt service principal payments on an obligation incurred for the Lake Oswego High School Capital Projects. He noted that the Capital Projects Fund budget, which was prepared in April 2013, did not contemplate the extent of principal payments for a Full Faith and Credit Obligation that was refinanced in June 2013. Mr. Ketzler explained that administration is seeking approval of the resolution presented to amend the district’s 2013-14 Capital Projects Fund budget.

330

On motion by Mr. Bob Barman, seconded my Mr. John Wendland, the Board unanimously approved the budget transfer resolution as presented. (Action)

7.9 403(b) Adoption Agreement Amendment (Action)

7.9 403(b) Adoption Agreement Amendment

Mr. Ketzler presented a request to add a new service provider to the list of eligible vendors under the district’s 403(b) Adoption Agreement that was originally implemented in 2008 under new IRS regulations. He noted that under those regulations, first effective January 1, 2009, the IRS requires school districts to more actively manage 403(b) providers than it had in the past. Mr. Ketzler explained that while the district now more actively manages its 403(b) relationships, it does not act in a fiduciary or advisory role with respect to these plans or district employee’s investments in them. Mr. Ketzler stated that this request is to add Aspire as a new provider. Aspire operates under an “open architecture” structure that allows employees, subject to the limits of their sales agent, to access a very broad network of investment funds and types. Aspire charges an annual $40 maintenance fee plus an additional 0.15% administration fee.

On motion by Mr. Bob Barman, seconded by Mr. John Wendland, the Board unanimously approved the administration’s request to add Aspire to the list of eligible vendors under the district’s 403(b) Adoption Agreement.

7.10 Policy JOA-Directory Information (First Reading)

7.10 Policy JOA-Directory Information

Mrs. Duin presented proposed changes to Policy JOA—Directory Information. She shared that the changes are being proposed as the result of a recently discovered error. Mrs. Duin explained that when this policy was last updated as part of the district’s OSBA review of all policies, specifics from an earlier LOSD policy were inadvertently omitted from the OSBA update. Consequently, the changes being proposed will restore the omitted directory information category and recommend removal of the category “student’s electronic address.” In response to Board inquiry, Mrs. Duin clarified that the district does not collect personal email addresses and noted that she does not believe parents would be supportive of including student email addresses as part of the directory information. Board members also inquired about the inclusion of “student’s telephone listing” and questioned if that would be the parent’s home phone, student’s cell number, etc. Mrs. Duin stated that she will seek clarity on this issue and bring forward a recommendation at the second reading of the policy. 7.11 Policy CBA-Qualifications and Duties of the Superintendent (Second Reading)

7.11 Policy CBA-Qualifications and Duties of the Superintendent

Dr. Atherton reviewed that the policies included in agenda items 7.11 through 7.20 fit into two distinct categories:
