Dr. Douglas Garber, Director of Employee Services, gave a brief report relative to the collaborative bargaining process.
The meeting returned to the regular agenda order.
II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Motion made by Dr. DeWitt and seconded by Mrs. Morris, to approve the minutes for the 4/27/98 Regular Board Workshop, 4/27/98 Special Board Workshop, 4/28/98 Regular Board Meeting, and 5/5/98 Special Board Meeting. Dr. DeWitt submitted the following amendments in writing as corrections to the minutes for the 4/28/98 Regular Board Meeting:
On page 12 under item 8.(1) - The statement regarding my support of item 2(a) the Specialist-Network Communications position is correct. The statement regarding items 2(b) and 2(c) is correct, which indicates my approval. The last sentence in that paragraph is correct although inserting the word "other" before the word "three" would make the sentence clearer. Under item (2)(b) and (c) my vote is recorded incorrectly, as I had already voiced my support as outlined in the minutes previously. On page 25, under item IV-X. Consent Agenda - I did not register a NO vote on item V.8.2(b) or V.8.2(c). I move that the above corrections be made to the April 28,1998 minutes.
After discussion, Chairman Jenkins called for the vote on the amendments and the motion was unanimously approved. Mrs. Webb noted that she was going to refer an issue concerning minutes to the Chairman for clarification. Chairman Jenkins called for the vote and the motion to approve the minutes as amended was unanimously approved.
III. PROPOSED ADDITIONS OR REVISIONS TO SCHOOL DISTRICT RULES
Backup material filed in Supplementary Minute Book, Exhibit B.
A. Permission to Advertise
1. 6Gx17-2.15 ANNUAL LEAVE
Motion made by Mr. Bailey and seconded by Dr. DeWitt, to advertise School District Rule 6Gx17-2.15 Annual Leave. Mrs. Webb expressed that equity was a concern regarding the language "Instructional personnel whose normal assignments are extended to either eleven or twelve months may be eligible, if recommended by the Superintendent, to accrue annual leave on the same basis...as administrative and professional personnel..." She asked that the Board consider striking the words "if recommended by the Superintendent." Ms. Gloria Johnson, Director of Payroll, noted that this rule relates to the DROP (Deferred Retirement Option Program) which is required by law to be in place by June 30. Mr. Ray recommended that the Board approve the advertising of the rule change as set forth and any language changes that would need to be researched could be brought back at a subsequent meeting. Relative to the fiscal impact, Mrs. Patricia Wascom, Comptroller, advised that the number of people to enter the program cannot be determined before July 1, and she assured the Board that when the budget is presented, a proposal will be included to provide proper funding for the program.

Mrs. Webb discussed concerns regarding a decline in test scores, as well as wording regarding special promotions. Mr. May stated that the 1-2% drop in test scores did not represent a standard deviation, and the ranking had remained essentially average to slightly above average for ten years. Mr. Gene Pettis, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, noted that very proactive programs have been implemented with a focus on improving test scores, which is producing an upward trend. Chairman Jenkins recognized Mr. Bob Husbands, Executive Director, Escambia Education Association, who commented on variation factors involved in standardized testing and stated that reasonable ways are needed to document individual student progress.

5. Authorized payment of $4,392.75 to the legal firm of Hammons & Whittaker, P.A., for legal services performed during the month of April 1998.
Mrs. Webb inquired as to charging for public records issues which have been researched previously. Mr. Hammons responded that instances arise from time to time dealing with specific questions. Mrs. Webb stated that she had not received files that she had requested 16 months ago. She stated that the custodian of the record would be the Secretary to the School Board with reference to public records of previous School Board Members, Mr. Eric Eggen, Mr. Earl Hawthorne, and Mr. Ed Stanford. Mrs. Morris stated that the Board was advised in workshops with the Florida School Board Association and Superintendent's Association that the secretary is not the custodian of the records; the Board Members are (until they leave office) at which time they may refer the records to the Superintendent for custodial purposes. Mr. Ray concurred, stating that the secretary is not the custodian of any School District records.
This item was approved under the consent agenda.

This item was approved under the consent agenda.

Mrs. Webb registered a NO vote on this item, stating that District 5, with 18 schools, got less than one-half of one percent of the capital outlay budget, and $54,000 had been allocated for painting at Tate High School. Mrs. Morris commented that these were PECO dollars from 1995 that would be lost if not spent by a certain time, and the monies that were shifted would be replaced.
