Information and Discussion Items
|
|
|
Process for Estimate of Needs
Discussion:
Kenda Terrones, Business Manager, updated the Board on the process and safeguards used to create the district’s Estimate of Needs. This is a “legal budget” and determines the total amount of funds the district is allowed to spend. The district hires an auditor to prepare the budget. The total amount of the budget is always less than the expected funding. The Budget is created to allow for carryover. Purchase Orders (P.O.) prevent funds from being encumbered if they are not available. If an employee purchases goods/services without opening a P.O., they will be sent an “Assumption of Responsibility” form stating that they violated district policy and responsible for those funds. The treasurer personally registers and monitors all checks and is the last line of defense in ensuring the district’s budget.
|
|
|
Purchasing Card
Discussion:
Kenda Terrones, Business Manager, expressed the district’s interest in using a Purchasing Card. Some of the benefits in using a P-Card include, rebates up to 1.62%, more vendor options, no up-charges for using a 3rd party, and save money by using fewer checks. The card would be controlled through the district’s finance department. This item will be brought back for final Board approval next month.
|
|
|
Revised Policy 104.2 WORKING PRINCIPLES AND PROCEDURES
Discussion:
Tom Trigalet, Asst. Superintendent of Human Resources, presented revisions to policy 104.2 - Working Principles and Procedures. The revisions would delete language that refers to policy 483, a policy that the district no longer has.

TLE (Teacher & Leader Effectiveness)
Discussion:
Teacher Leadership Evaluation (TLE) is now being used district-wide in evaluating teachers. Teachers are evaluated 30% on Classroom Management, 50% Instructional Effectiveness, 10% Professional Growth & Continuous Improvement, 5% Interpersonal Skills and 5% on Leadership. The Board was also provided the number of completed evaluations at each site.
|
|
|
RIF (Reduction in Force) Policy
Discussion:
Tom Trigalet, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, will negotiate the district’s Reduction in Force (RIF) policy this summer. The revisions will coincide with state law.
|
|
|
Agreement with Kincaid
Discussion:
Dr. Richard Rosenberger, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction, presented a solution for transportation of district students for college field trips. The field trips were hard to schedule with the district’s buses. Kincaid, a bus/van service, will provide transportation and be reimbursed through the district’s Gear Up funds.

Superintendent Comments
Discussion:
The Board was presented the district’s dropout and graduation rates. The district had seventy three students dropped out in the 2011-12 school year. This is an increase from the year before. Mr. Larry Smith, Deputy Superintendent, will provide a detailed report on these students. The district’s graduate rate has decreased the last few years. The administration will be working to increase the graduate rate at Sapulpa Schools.
