[7:22] programs we serve approximately ten

[7:24] thousand secondary students including

[7:26] four programs that's the number that i

[7:28] was looking for a few years ago whenever

[7:31] we really got into our college and

[7:33] career readiness this department really

[7:36] revamped themselves and they actually

[7:38] changed their name

[7:40] to the college and career readiness

[7:42] department they are

[7:45] financed through a grant with the

[7:47] oklahoma's state department of career

[7:50] and technology and a carl perkins grant

[7:54] but they're involved in so many programs

[7:56] whether it's stem

[7:58] or a number of different programs

[8:00] i hope everyone took the time to look

[8:03] tonight at the different programs that

[8:05] they're involved in

[8:07] this is

[8:09] ms taylor's first year

[8:11] as director of the college and career

[8:13] readiness program the program was

[8:14] directed for several years by mr harold

[8:17] helton

[8:19] and

[8:20] she applied for the position whenever he

[8:22] retired and is doing a marvelous job and

[8:25] i'm so pleased that you had students who

[8:27] talked about their experiences

[8:29] we're also pleased that the teachers

[8:31] would be here because it's the teachers

[8:33] in that program that make the difference

[8:35] and we want to make certain that you

[8:37] know how much we appreciate your work

[8:40] that that you do

[8:42] and it's really wide reaching

[8:43] i see teachers who work in some of our

[8:45] specialized program uh even with

[8:47] adjudicated youth that come under their

[8:50] department so it really does uh reach

[8:52] every corner of the school district

[8:56] mr birchman

[8:58] yes mr percival miss fate and and

[9:01] correct me if i'm wrong but for the most

[9:03] part they're not tested subjects

[9:06] that anybody in oklahoma city really

[9:08] cares enough about to

[9:10] test

[9:12] but we teach we have an ff a chapter and

[9:15] we teach culinary arts and we have

[9:18] things that 10 000 of our students are

[9:20] engaged in

[9:23] but it's not important enough to test

[9:25] anyway

[9:28] i just wanted to make sure i was right

[9:30] on that that is yeah our students do

[9:31] take competency tests and walk out with

[9:33] the certification that is highly

[9:35] employable when they leave our programs

[9:37] yeah but doesn't come into the state

[9:39] testing program

[9:40] yeah right that's what i mentioned yes

[9:42] thank you so much thank you thank you

[9:44] for having me we appreciate having you

[9:45] here

[9:50] okay we shall move into the much

[9:52] anticipated long-awaited tps in the news

[9:56] it has been an eventful couple of weeks

[9:58] for tps in the news i apologize for my

[10:00] voice but i'm still

[10:02] a little bit under the weather but

[10:04] getting over it february 5th was

[10:06] national signing day and this year tulsa

[10:08] public schools had 32 student athletes

[10:11] and you can follow on the screen

[10:14] signed to play football soccer

[10:15] basketball and baseball at various

[10:17] colleges around the country one of our

[10:19] student

[10:20] athletes memorial football player mike

[10:22] juan dean was featured in the tulsa

[10:24] world because of the adversity that he

[10:26] overcame to make it to signing day long

[10:29] story short mike wan moved in with the

[10:31] classmate's family

[10:33] who did help throughout school and with

[10:35] that help he will be the first member of

[10:37] his family to attend college it was a

[10:39] very moving story

[10:41] with the below freezing temperatures and

[10:43] wintry precipitation

[10:44] that we had earlier this month several

[10:46] schools unfortunately saw very low

[10:48] attendance on some days on one very

[10:51] frigid day remington elementary teacher

[10:53] micah davis told fox 23 that they did

[10:56] make the best of the situation

[10:57] teachers gave students projects and were

[10:59] able to give them extra one-on-one time

[11:02] which is always helpful in school

[11:04] brotherhood fest returned on thursday to

[11:07] thoreau demonstration school the

[11:09] month-long celebration expands black

[11:11] history month to include brotherhood

[11:14] among all

[11:15] the biggest part of brotherhood fest see

[11:17] students recreate events

[11:19] and people that had significant impacts

[11:21] on american history for other students

[11:24] the challenge was made more difficult

[11:25] this year as teachers only handed groups

[11:28] a historical photo or an illustration

[11:30] and the students had to figure out

[11:32] everything else from there that was also

[11:35] a really good article

[11:36] last week several students took to the

[11:38] capitol in oklahoma city to encourage

[11:41] lawmakers to prohibit

[11:43] texting while driving

[11:46] the students are members of generation

[11:48] text which was started at booker t

[11:50] washington four years ago and has now

[11:53] expanded to other schools

[11:56] the tulsa symphony orchestra performed

[11:58] two concerts for students

[12:00] at kendall whittier elementary recently

[12:03] the orchestra who was one of the

[12:04] school's partners in education worked

[12:07] with teachers to have students create

[12:09] artwork and poetry that was presented as

[12:12] part of the concerts the students works

[12:14] were also presented during the

[12:15] orchestra's public performance that

[12:17] weekend

[12:20] three first grade classes at lee

[12:22] elementary spent part of valentine's day

[12:25] showing their love for helping others

[12:28] the classes collected stuffed animals

[12:30] blankets and coats for the parent child

[12:32] center and on friday

[12:34] 60 or so of the students walked with

[12:36] teachers and parents to the parent child

[12:38] center to donate the items

[12:41] half of the donated goods also went to

[12:43] family and children's services so that's

[21:04] move on to our action agenda

[21:08] and we only have one item here tonight

[21:11] um

[21:12] increase the substitute teacher rates of

[21:14] pay as stated below for the following

[21:17] schools anderson elementary burroughs

[21:19] elementary gilchrist elementary

[21:21] penn elementary springdale elementary

[21:24] walt whitman elementary

[21:26] dual language immersion mclean junior

[21:30] remainder of the

[21:32] 2013-2014 school year

[21:34] the cost is not to exceed sixteen

[21:36] thousand dollars move approval

[21:39] second motion's been made and seconded

[21:41] any comments

[21:43] i would ask uh chief human capital

[21:45] officer talia schaal if she would

[21:47] speak to the rationale behind this

[21:49] michelle

[21:50] thank you dr bauer president fate

[21:52] members of the board

[21:53] we are attempting to pilot what an

[21:55] increase and substitute teacher pay

[21:58] rates would do for our ability to fill

[22:01] substitute vacancies teacher vacancies

[22:03] and absences

[22:05] this these are a sampling of the schools

[22:07] that we usually have a hard time filling

[22:10] with subs and our attempt is to increase

[22:13] it and make it more attractive

[22:15] to be able to improve our ability to

[22:18] attract substitute teachers

[22:20] it is

[22:22] obviously

[22:23] just a small effort because we would

[22:25] like to do this across the board but we

[22:27] want to see how effective this

[22:28] investment in increasing teacher pay

[22:31] rate for substitutes would do in this

[22:33] case

[22:34] our hope is that with this increase

[22:36] actually we become the highest paid

[22:39] with these schools will be the highest

[22:40] paid rate across the county and will be

[22:43] very competitive in in increasing our

[22:45] number of substitute teachers so we are

[22:48] specifically focusing on these schools

[22:49] because of the difficulty that we have

[22:51] staffing them

[22:54] yes dr turner addison

[22:56] i am actually pleased to see this agenda

[22:59] item before us today we've talked about

[23:00] it for a while in the human capital

[23:02] meetings and many of these schools are

[23:04] reside within my district

[23:06] and although we've been having a hard

[23:08] time filling this position i would

[23:11] encourage people to really

[23:13] you know

[23:15] substitute teachers out there really

[23:17] take on the assignment to help in these

[23:19] schools that

[23:21] many people often look at as second tier

[23:24] there has been a lot of progress

[23:26] in the schools in north tulsa

[23:28] if you look at the data you can see that

[23:31] not only look at one set of data but

[23:33] look at the value-added data as well

[23:36] i strongly encourage you to sign up and

[23:39] be a substitute and get increasing pay

[27:44] item g6 is a recommendation to approve

[27:47] the sanctioning of a number of

[27:49] organizations that have submitted their

[27:51] applications in accordance with with

[27:53] board policy

[27:55] 5707 and i'd be glad to answer any

[27:58] questions on either of those items

[28:04] yes dr turner addison on item g6 i'm

[28:07] pleased to see a couple of schools on

[28:09] here dual language immersion pta

[28:10] mclean's seventh grade pta yes one of

[28:13] the things we continue to talk about is

[28:15] how important it is to increase parental

[28:17] engagement however there's a number of

[28:19] schools who don't have ptas can you just

[28:22] share with us the process and what are

[28:24] some

[28:25] potential barriers that keep some

[28:27] schools from actually forming the pta

[28:29] getting the reports in

[28:30] sure i'd be happy to

[28:32] we have this information that we share

[28:34] with our principals through the

[28:35] leadership

[28:37] packet

[28:38] with respect to how to go through the

[28:40] sanctioning process

[28:42] we have an application we try to make it

[28:45] uh

[28:46] not overwhelming for any organization

[28:48] but there are certain pieces of

[28:50] information that we do need to have for

[28:52] our files we review those applications

[28:54] uh make sure we have a bank statement

[28:57] and the

[28:59] various documents that they're required

[29:01] to submit we do ask that they attend one

[29:04] evening training for sanctioned

[29:05] organizations

[29:07] but other than that we we work with

[29:09] principals and work with our our booster

[29:12] clubs and our parent-teacher

[29:13] organizations uh to help them through

[29:16] the process to

[29:17] be sanctioned to operate outside the

[29:19] board of education

[29:23] i think for the most part that does

[29:25] answer my question but i really would

[29:27] like to see an increased level of ptas

[29:31] in in our schools and in district 3 it's

[29:34] not where it should be

[29:35] so

[29:36] thank you

[31:22] do have a speaker who has signed up for

[31:24] g19

[31:26] so when we come to g19 and you introduce

[31:28] that mr stout we will have a speaker for

[31:30] that thank you dr ballard president fate

[31:33] members of the board

[31:35] items g 11 through 23 for the most part

[31:37] are routine in nature and they're

[31:39] related to federal e-rate funding

[31:41] program

[31:42] and they support miscellaneous

[31:44] technology services and maintenance

[31:47] item g19 is not routine in nature

[31:50] item g19 is an agreement to provide an

[31:52] alternative cng fueling station on an as

[31:55] needed basis while the existing fuel

[31:57] infrastructure is being updated i'd be

[31:59] happy to answer any questions you may

[32:01] have

[32:02] president fate

[32:04] yes mr purcell um

[32:08] with respect to item g19 most of you are

[32:12] well familiar that i'm very involved

[32:14] with northeast waste solutions a company

[32:16] that's listed in this agenda item

[32:18] while i have no financial interest in

[32:21] this particular

[32:22] uh

[32:23] scenario at all

[32:25] i feel kind of uncomfortable even being

[32:27] here during the discussion of this and i

[32:29] think it's all appropriate there's no

[32:30] problems whatsoever but if you don't

[32:33] mind i'm going to excuse myself this

[32:35] time

[32:36] and

[32:39] we'll call you back in well

[32:53] caller speaker

[32:55] yes ready for mr tom sewell

[32:59] you just signed up uh you will get five

[33:02] minutes

[33:04] thank you um what i wanted to

[33:07] kind of explain is this compressed

[33:09] natural gas steel you know we have

[33:10] compressors that we make the gas with

[33:12] you guys have two compressors that are

[33:13] seriously down one of them's completely

[33:15] down

[33:16] and the other one is in a big

[33:17] intermittent problem it can go down in

[33:20] any minute

[33:21] so that's putting you guys into the

[33:23] public fleet of field stations and

[33:25] there's four of them and with your buses

[33:27] when you go to the public fleet that

[33:29] makes those stations and i own several

[33:31] of them running at 100 wide open

[33:34] throttle

[33:35] all it takes is one of them to have a

[33:36] problem which we did during the ice and

[33:39] snow

[33:40] and you then it carries back to you guys

[33:42] have serious problems

[33:44] um

[33:45] this station that new solutions has are

[33:47] actually our own it's on new solutions

[33:49] property has enough capacity to fill 100

[33:52] of your fleet every day

[33:54] so i don't know how to encourage you or

[33:56] i don't understand the politics of

[33:58] everything

[33:59] how to get this moved up to uh

[34:02] to a voting item it's a pretty minor

[34:05] deal with this whole harmless

[34:07] but

[34:09] just for redundancy we have zero

[34:11] redundancy right now today

[34:14] on the fueling of your buses

[34:16] and this would give you 100 redundancy

[34:19] instantly

[34:20] by um

[34:23] you know this agreement

[34:25] and what and basically what they're

[34:27] needing to do is it's my field station

[34:29] but the miller family and the new

[34:31] solutions are needing this whole

[34:33] harmless with the school system to be

[34:35] able to have the vehicles on their

[34:36] property

[34:38] and

[34:38] if you guys have any other questions

[34:40] about the process

[34:42] i'd be willing to i'd be glad to answer

[34:44] the whole deal

[34:46] i'm sorry mr sewell uh the board does

[34:48] not participate when we have someone

[34:51] speaking okay thank you we can deal with

[34:53] that later if you want to do that on one however i i can uh uh interact

[34:59] and i will just say this mr newell that

[35:00] if you have some solution that you would

[35:02] like for the school district to consider

[35:06] you would need to see mr ben stout who's

[35:08] our chief information and operations

[35:11] officer and you could contact his office

[35:14] or perhaps see him after the meeting and set an appointment

[35:19] so that you could talk with him and we

[35:20] thank you for coming to the meeting and

[35:21] speaking tonight thank you

[35:28] now mr stout remind me did you go

[35:30] through g23

[35:36] of the information agenda president
