PUBLIC HEARINGS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS AND RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENT High School Students Representative Report – Dell Ray Rhodes Ms. Rhodes thanked the district for their help in integrating ethnic history into the curriculum.

She suggested that the board members’ offices should be in a prefabricated building instead of at the Administrative Center on Sahara. She specifically requested Mrs. Barber’s assistance for an investigation into the process of Homebound applications and an investigation into money used by Mrs. Johnson for personal education expenses.

PUBLIC HEARINGS ON AGENDA AND NON-AGENDA ITEMS AND RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENT (continued) Mrs. Johnson responded to comments made by public speakers, explaining the reasons for rearranging the order of agenda items. She explained that the Keystone Academy agenda item had been removed from the agenda because the district was working with Keystone Academy to reach a solution. She added that the region centers are in prefabricated buildings. She explained that the cost of the class that she recently took in public policy at a local campus was funded out of the trustees’ training budget. Mrs. Barber stated that Item 5.05 Request from a Member of the Public should be rewritten and reconsidered at a later date. She asked Dr. Rulffes to provide her with information regarding the Homebound application process. She requested a statement from district and board attorneys concerning use of the trustees’ training budget. 9- to 12-month calendar conversion Public speakers representing Cox, Galloway, and Gibson elementary schools spoke in opposition to the school calendar conversion, citing such concerns as the disruption of family and school staff, a negative impact on Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), and safety concerns. Board members thanked the concerned parents and community members for coming to the board meeting and speaking to the board to voice their concerns and for bringing forward pertinent information regarding the school calendar conversion. TELECONFERENCE CALL CONNECTED Teleconference call with Mrs. Scow was connected at 9:22 p.m. PUBLIC HEARINGS ON AGENDA AND NON-AGENDA ITEMS AND RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENT (continued) Public speakers representing Twitchell and Vanderburg elementary schools brought up the issue of the school district properly notifying the parents of any upcoming meetings concerning the calendar conversion, and they asked the district to revisit Regulation 7124 and reconsider the decision to change the school calendars from 9 months to 12 months. They urged the district to postpone the calendar conversion for one year and to take a second look at the impact that this would have on the schools and their students and families. Dr. Rulffes stated that there were community meetings scheduled to be held, and he suggested that staff would consider the information they received at tonight’s meeting along with information gathered at those community meetings, weigh that information against the factual information staff has and make a decision. Because of extensive discussion regarding the 9- to 12-month calendar conversion, which was a non-agenda item, Trustee Edwards expressed a concern with possibly being in violation of the Open Meeting Law (OML). She asked Cliff Jeffers, Board Counsel, District Attorney’s Office, to advise the board on this matter. Mr. Jeffers stated that because this item was a non-agenda item, the board should exercise caution in their response to public comment. He explained that the board cannot act, deliberate, or give any direction without an item being properly noticed on an agenda.

APPROVE 2006 ARCHITECT SELECTION LIST Approval of the proposed 2006 Architect Selection List consisting of 19 architectural firms, as recommended in Reference 6.16. Trustee Edwards asked specifically that the trustees look at the letter that went out to the architects with the deadline in July and a subsequent letter in November regarding the review process and criteria, and she stated that she had a concern about the disregard of one of the tabs in the evaluation information. Mrs. Johnson stated that although the architects voiced issues with not being placed on the list even though they had previously done work for the district and had previously qualified to do work with the district, she did not hear any concern regarding the selection process itself, except a concern with the timeline of the process. Paul Gerner, Associate Superintendent, Facilities Division, explained the content of the letters sent to the architects. Lisa Conner, Director I/Building Official, Inspection Services, spoke about the review of the submission packages. She stated that the process was unbiased and fair. Mr. Gerner explained the architect selection process to the board.
