Acceptance of Grants/Donations
Board Procedure No. 6114 outlines the criteria to be met in the acceptance of gifts to the district. The purpose or use shall be consistent with philosophy and programs of the district; the district shall assume only a minimum financial obligation for installation, maintenance and operation; the equipment shall be free from health and/or safety hazards; the equipment shall be free from a direct or implied commercial endorsement; and the board must formally accept any gift of real property or of funds over $1,000.
It is recommended that the board of directors gratefully accept, in compliance with Policy No. 6114, a donation in the amount of $1,979.40 from the Ben and Myrtle Walkling Memorial Trust via the Port Angeles Education Foundation. Grant expense approval is also subject to Policy 2020, Curriculum Development and Adoption of Instructional Materials. Tina Smith-O'Hara wrote the grant on behalf of the foundation and school district with support from parent Annenne Catterson and Linda Williams, Port Angeles School District Special Education Director. The grant will fund a human development education program, enabling the district to purchase puberty education materials for special education students. Students with development disabilities, like all children, grow into adolescence with physically maturing bodies and emerging social and sexual feelings and needs. The program the district will purchase is developmentally clear and appropriate for children with mild to moderate disabilities, and is easy to understand, practical, positive, and presented in a simple, reassuring format. Current puberty education materials are difficult for special education students to comprehend. New materials will include: instructional videos/DVDs, comprehensive teaching guides and student booklets.
It is recommended that the board of directors gratefully accept, in compliance with Policy No. 6114, a donation in the amount of not more than $6,000 from the Clallam County Marine Resource Committee via the Port Angeles Education Foundation. The purpose of the donation is to provide the opportunity for every fourth and fifth grade student in the Port Angeles School District to visit the Feiro Marine Life Center this spring. Six hundred thirty-eight students, plus their teachers and parent chaperones, will spend a morning or afternoon learning about the ocean, the ocean’s influence on them and their influence on the ocean.

Although the board has by prior actions approved application of legislatively authorized cost of living adjustments (COLAs) to salary schedules established by the board or negotiated through collective bargaining, the superintendent recommends that that board reaffirm its approval of, and direction to the superintendent to adjust, salary schedules in accordance with the following legislatively authorized COLAs for 2007-08 and 2008-09:
2007-08 2008-09

Mr. Brodhun said that the Fast Alert System is in place at Fairview Elementary, Roosevelt Middle School, Stevens Middle School, and Port Angeles High School. The Skills Center and Lincoln High School are in line for implementation in 2007. The remaining elementary schools are slated for implementation in 2007, too. The last meeting covered visitor controls and procedures.
Facility and Maintenance Report and Facilities Transition Budget Report
Scott Brodhun gave reports on both facilities and maintenance and the transition budget report. Mr. Brodhun also told the board that Nolan Duce was also in the audience to answer questions. Mr. Brodhun recapped the repairs and work planned and also provided a comprehensive list unique to transition, optional work, and maintenance items. Projects involve moving people, equipment, portables and the necessary preparation of the portables. Mr. Brodhun answered questions asked by the board. President McClain inquired about the cost of resurfacing the track at Port Angeles High School. Mr. Brodhun recommended removing and replacing the surface that will cost 80,000-100,000. Mr. Brodhun indicated that they are about a year behind the regular schedule. Mr. Hinds asked about the communication with special education staff to discuss what is needed and Mr. Brodhun said that they have a good understanding from communications from specific special education teachers and building principals. Ms. McLaughlin asked if this transition is as difficult as the last transition. Mr. Brodhun said that this move is more complicated, but feels they are better prepared. Mrs. Kelly inquired about repairs to the floor tiles in Stevens Middle School music room. Mr. Duce explained that the area needs to be carpeted. Dr. Happe asked if purchasing playground equipment by the district is a common practice. Mr. Brodhun said that this is somewhat unusual, but he doesn’t recommend the relocation of the Fairview equipment. The installation of a curtain in the gym was discussed and Mr. Brodhun said that having a divider would allow having physical education in one half and using the other half for lunch space. Technology staff will load equipment on carts and maintenance staff will move the equipment to the specified building, and technology will return for installation.

Consensus of the board is to approve the maintenance plan as submitted.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS/SERVICES REPORTS
Middle School Transition Team Report
Assistant Superintendent Michelle Reid gave report eight of the Middle School Transition Team. Mrs. Reid said that the middle school library transition was a key and complex piece of the transition plan. There is concern that some of the sixth grade books may not be appropriate for the lower grades. Mrs. Reid identified the main points of the team recommendations that support the library transition plan. Room assignment map recommendations were recapped. Mrs. Reid told the board that room assignments were driven by team assignments. The Native American Interventionist has been moved near the art room. Special education students will be placed with the 7A and 8A teams. Section 504 and Title I will be placed with the 7B and 8B teams. Art, shop, technology are semester-long electives. Athletic program recommendations were clarified. Changes include two varsity slots adding coaching positions in football, basketball added one team to each grade-level, and volleyball will have two teams per grade level. Mrs. Reid said that traveling only on the Olympic Peninsula would cut travel costs and time away from the classroom. Student representatives on the transition team wanted girls’ soccer to be considered, but Mrs. Reid said the middle school principal might consider an intramural program. Transportation cost savings were discussed. President McClain asked how varsity teams are selected. Mrs. Reid said that there would be two balanced varsity teams selected. The goal is to have equitable teams with no swapping of students during the season. Dr. Happe said that even without the transportation change, she would still support the athletic choices to keep our students engaged. President McClain challenged the accuracy of the transportation costs. Superintendent Cohn said that transportation costs need to be examined further. President McClain reiterated that the district does not have the funding for athletics expansion. Dr. Happe said the roster slots need to be reexamined. Dr. Cohn said that a revised table would be provided. Mr. Hinds said that he agreed that we need to keep our students engaged and a more accurate table needs to be constructed. The last piece, core content requirements, will be addressed at the team meeting on Tuesday, May 8.
Elementary Transition Team Report
Assistant Mary Hebert reported that the elementary team completed its phase one work that examined program services and facilities. Phase two will consist of the coherent education experience and the administration of the sixth grade programs. A work plan is being studied. Principals have met with their new 6th grade staff, reviewing curriculum, calendars, curriculum materials and remediation enrichment possibilities. Student recognition opportunities, responsibility opportunities, recess, and discipline will be included. The team will meet again this week and next. Three more meetings will occur on May 23, June 6, and June 13. The main objective is to coordinate all new 6th grade teachers.

Dr. Cohn said that the IRS will hold the district liable and the district needs a third party administrator. Dr. Jacobson further discussed the 403(b) issue with the board. Mr. Hinds wants to be sure that all alternatives be considered.
Dr. Happe requested that the minutes reflect that she would like to see that the implementation of Family Access® and Gradebook® be consistent among all teachers at grade levels where it is used.
Mr. Hinds requested that the minutes reflect that the 2007 kindergarten implementation vote failed 2-3 and President McClain sought alternative proposals.
