- Elementary schools start between 7:15 a.m. and 8:15 a.m.

- High schools start between 8:15 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.

- Middle schools start between 8:30 a.m. and 9:15 a.m.

Dismissal times for all schools shall be at least seven hours from the starting to the end of the school day; therefore, all schools will have a minimum of a seven hour day which will include the breakfast program.

2. A special program schedule shall be developed based upon availability of buses for transportation purposes.

3. Students can be mixed on buses, for example, middle school/high school, or elementary school/middle school.

4. Buses will not make runs through subdivisions where the main entrance is less than one-half mile from any home, apartment, or subdivision."

Dr. Jenkins seconded the motion.

The Board recognized the following speakers:

1) Ms. Catherine Gera, Member of the Student Advisory Council for the Superintendent, stated that she represents Woodham High School and the WHS Student Council had expressed concerns about bussing high school students with younger students. The Student Council also had concerns that if the high school starting time changed to 9:00 a.m., after-school activities and jobs would be impacted.

2) Ms. Ellen Lawrence, UniServ Director for Escambia NEA, expressed concern regarding possible impact on employees, and she conveyed that bargaining issues would be involved.

Dr. Jenkins commented concerning overtime paid to bus drivers. Chairman DeWitt stated that bus drivers, route supervisors, and managers had been advised that they would have flexibility. He noted the major intent of his motion was to change high schools to a later starting time, perhaps as close to 8:15 a.m. as possible, and the students could be out of school by 3:15 p.m.

3) Ms. Sheila Romaine and her daughter, Lauren Romaine, appeared before the Board. Ms. Romaine asked that the Board consider tabling items related to school consolidation and allow public input. She expressed opposition to changing high school starting times.

4) Mr. Robert Husbands, Executive Director, Escambia NEA UniServ, inquired concerning the intent of the Board for standard teacher contact time and total minutes of contact time (based on a seven hour day including breakfast).

Dr. DeWitt stated that the teacher contact time would be negotiated. Mr. Husbands noted that would be a bargaining issue. Dr. DeWitt also noted that middle school children are currently riding on the bus with high school students in the northern part of the county, and Santa Rosa County transports all three age levels of children on buses as a cost-effective measure. After discussion, Mrs. Stidham called for the vote and the motion was unanimously approved.

2) Development of School Calendar - John DeWitt

Motion was made by Dr. DeWitt "that the calendar for school year 2001-2002, which is the calendar that starts in August of next year, will be developed using the following principles:

1. All Escambia County public schools will be on the same instructional calendar.

2. The first semester will be divided into forty-five (45) days plus or minus one (1) or two (2) instructional days and five (5) days when school is closed for all students and instructional personnel. Then forty-five (45) more instructional days to be completed before Christmas holidays; followed by forty-five (45) days of instruction, a five-day break, followed by forty-five (45) (+-) which will close out the school year. Regular holidays normally provided to staff and students will be honored.

Exact dates and holidays to be determined by the District School Calendar Committee and submitted to the School Board for final approval at the January Board meeting, and that we work with the unions to collaboratively work out employee schedules.

3. The six (6) one-half (1/2) days built into the present calendar for teacher in-service will be eliminated. Students will be provided 180 full days of instruction per calendar year."

The motion was seconded by Dr. Jenkins.

The Board recognized the following speakers:

1) Ms. Ellen Lawrence, UniServ Director for Escambia NEA, expressed that these issues would need to be addressed from a bargaining standpoint for Educational Support Personnel. She also expressed that certain calendar issues should be clarified.

2) Ms. Arlene Costello, President, Escambia Education Association (EEA), commended the Board for eliminating the half-days (1/2) for professional development. She requested clarification as to where staff and professional development would be provided.

Dr. DeWitt stated that input would be provided by the Calendar Committee.

3) Mr. Charles Thomas, Director of Alternative Education, expressed concern about changing the schedule semester into two (2) forty-five (45) day sessions, which would demand nine (9) week schedules and grading periods.

4) Ms. Gail Husbands, 1055 Farmington Place, Pensacola, Florida, spoke in support of the motion.

Mrs. Stidham called for the vote and the motion was unanimously approved. Mrs. Stidham returned the gavel to Chairman DeWitt.

3) Request Approval of "Request For Information or Service" Form as Suggested by MGT Study - Cary Stidham

A motion was made by Mrs. Stidham that the form enclosed recommended by the MGT Study be used by Board Members for requested information. Mrs. Finkelstein seconded the motion. Mrs. Stidham clarified that this would involve information that would take an extensive period of time for staff to collect, and not a telephone call. The Superintendent concurred with use of the form. Chairman DeWitt called for the vote and the motion was unanimously approved.

PULLED: 4) Discussion of Guidelines For Fund-raisers - Cary Stidham

5) Consideration to Change From Eight Period Day For High Schools - Linda Finkelstein

A motion was made by Mrs. Finkelstein that "it is the intent of the School Board that all high schools, except the West Florida High School of Advanced Technology, will operate on a seven period day beginning with the 2001/2002 school year. I understand that there will be some unique situations regarding other programs housed within a high school, and that they should be reviewed on an individual basis." Dr. Jenkins seconded the motion.

Mr. Bergosh noted that the state only funds a six period day, and considering that the district is facing a budget shortfall, it may be preferable to table this matter to allow further study (along with the school closing and consolidation issues). Dr. Jenkins inquired concerning cost savings and was advised that the estimated cost savings (for changing to a seven period day) was $400,000. Mrs. Stidham clarified that the intent was a seven period day, and a five period instructional day, with two periods for teacher planning. Mr. Paul spoke in support of the motion. Mrs. Finkelstein noted that the seven period day may not work for the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Dr. Robin Largue, Director of Secondary Education, stated that Curriculum and Instruction staff had asked that a decision be made at this meeting (due to time constraints concerning the high school schedule) in order to facilitate planning, registering, and working with students in January and February.

The Board recognized the following speakers:

1) Mr. Ron Knowlton, 6118 Chicago Avenue, Pensacola, Florida, spoke in support of the motion.

2) Ms. Madonna Jackson-Williams, On-the-Job Training (OJT) Coordinator, Pine Forest High School, expressed concern regarding changing to a seven period day.

3) Ms. Sheila Romaine, Pensacola, Florida, addressed the Board in support of continuing the eight period day.

Chairman DeWitt relinquished the gavel to Mrs. Stidham and offered an amendment to the motion to add that only charter schools would be permitted to use the state criteria for graduation, which would be twenty-four (24) credits (effective this school year). Dr. Jenkins seconded the motion. Mr. Paul Fetsko, Subject Area Specialist, advised that the option of earning twenty-four (24) credits for graduation is already in the Pupil Progression Plan. Dr. Largue noted that charter schools are not the only alternative settings. There are adult programs that offer alternatives for students, and that was the reason for providing the twenty-four (24) credit option in the Pupil Progression Plan. Dr. DeWitt stated that the charter schools were set up by the Florida Legislature for the purpose of serving a different population of children with unique needs. Mr. Thomas noted that there are three charter high schools, and he asked about future applications for charter high schools. Dr. DeWitt stated that the same rule would apply.

After discussion, Mrs. Stidham called for the vote on the amendment, and the motion was approved 3-2 with Mr. Bergosh and Dr. Jenkins voting NO.

The Board recognized the following speaker:

1) Ms. Rebecca Rudicell, Student Representative, Pensacola High School, asked that the Board not eliminate block scheduling.

After discussion, Mrs. Stidham called for the vote and the motion (as amended) was approved 4-1 with Mr. Bergosh voting NO. Mrs. Stidham returned the gavel to Chairman DeWitt.

: 6) Cancellation of Contract with Joy Frank and Associates, P.A. for Lobbying Services - Cary Stidham

A motion was made by Mrs. Stidham and seconded by Dr. Jenkins, to cancel the contract with Joy Frank and Associates, P.A. for lobbying services. Mr. Paul expressed concern that the services are still needed. After discussion, Chairman DeWitt called for the vote and the motion was unanimously approved.
