The Board recognized the following speaker:
Ms. Susan Watson inquired concerning a travel reimbursement approved by the interim Board Chairman, which involved a December travel document where a Board Member charged for mileage reimbursement for court appearances, lunch and dinner with their attorney, and basic taxi services. Ms. Watson stated that at the November Board meeting, the Board voted to reimburse expenses related to mounting a legal defense only if the Board Member was acquitted of charges. Dr. Mason stated that he had sent a memorandum to Mrs. Webb concerning the four-day travel time (December 16, 17, 18, and 19, 1998; a total of 145 miles)dealing with litigation in which she is involved. He explained that by previous Board action, reimbursement for expenses linked to this litigation was not authorized at this time, and the expense check will have a total of 145 miles deducted from it in order to effect the correction. Ms. Watson also expressed concern regarding an expense in a November travel document for a grand jury testimony and asked that the taxpayers be reimbursed all expenses that are inadvertently charged.
After discussion, Mr. May called for the vote on the nomination that Dr. DeWitt be elected as Chairman for the remainder of 1998-99. The motion failed 2-2 with Dr. Mason and Mrs. Stidham voting NO. Mr. May called for the vote on the nomination that Dr. Mason be elected as Chairman for the remainder of 1998-99. The motion failed 2-2 with Dr. DeWitt and Dr. Jenkins voting NO. Mr. Hammons stated that School Board Rules provide that the Board will annually elect a chairman at its organizational meeting in November, and that was not done. He explained that it takes an affirmative majority vote to change the status quo and until such time, Dr. Mason will continue as Interim Chairman. Mr. May returned the gavel to Dr. Mason.

Mr. Jerome Chisolm, Principal, and Mr. Stan Callender, Director, Escambia Charter School, gave a slide presentation and noted that 16 students in the past two years have completed requirements for graduation and have received diplomas. There are currently 14 students on track to graduate. New programs and partnerships are being developed and include being a candidate to become to a "School of Promise." This is an initiative spearheaded by General Colin Powell and is a school-based, school and community collaborative in which local stakeholders, in partnership with school officials, provide resources to young people through existing school facilities. In partnership with communities, schools, and Pensacola Junior College, a network academy is being initiated to begin in school year 1999-2000. This will involve a four-semester curriculum offered at high schools and community colleges in a computer lab setting, where students design and build computer networks. Students will be registered in March to take courses by Internet on Florida's High School Online.
Mr. May commented that there have been positive changes in terms of fiscal responsibility under Mr. Callender's leadership over the past year.
