[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

[21:11] 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

[27:35] we will be re viewing the budget

[27:39] tomorrow and we'll bring that back to
[27:41] the full board for a recommendation
[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

[31:24] 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
[35:32] yes i've covered them
[35:34] that would uh conclude the presentation
[35:36] of the information agenda president
