THE SCHOOL BOARD OF

ESCAMBIA COUNTY, FLORIDA



MINUTES, JUNE 24, 1999





The School Board of Escambia County, Florida, convened for the Public Forum at 6:00 p.m. in Room 160, Hall Center, 30 East Texar Drive, Pensacola, Florida, with the following present:



Chairman: Dr. Hal Mason Vice Chairman: Mrs. Cary Stidham



Members: Dr. John DeWitt

Mrs. Janice Gilley

Dr. Elmer Jenkins



School Board Attorney: Mrs. Maureen George

 

Superintendent of Schools: Mr. Jim May



Dr. Mason called the Public Forum to order at 6:00 p.m. and announced that the Regular Board Meeting would immediately follow the Public Forum.



The Board recognized the following speaker:

1) Mr. Byron Parker, 115 East Maxwell Street, Pensacola, Florida, 32503, requested that

the Board consider naming the school being erected at 12th Avenue and Lee Street in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.



There being no further speakers, Mr. May announced that Regular Board meetings will be televised (beginning in July), and he introduced Miss Jennifer Willey and Mr. Levi Daniel, students from the television production class at Tate High School. He noted that students will operate the television cameras at each Regular Board meeting.

Mr. May announced National History Day results noting that Brown Barge Middle School, PATS Center, and Old Hometown came in first in place in the junior group documentary and earned the best junior entry in the State of Florida, and the Pensacola High School senior group exhibit came in first place.

Mr. May reported that the Langford Conference was held recently and that participants had been given tools: 1) to help groups come to decisions on issues that might be hard to reach consensus; and 2) to maintain respect for each other and look at suggestions objectively in order to reach a fair group decision. Board Members discussed this concept relative to the Zero Tolerance Policy noting that fire arms had been considered as the one weapon which would automatically require students to be expelled, but a proposed change listed additional items including knives, chains, pipes, razor, and razor blades. Mr. May commented that the decision before the Board was whether to keep the language as is (wherein the high school principal has the prerogative of recommending or not recommending expulsion when it comes to items other than fire arms), or accept new language that says that any of these weapons will result in an automatic expulsion. (See subsequent Board action under III. PROPOSED ADDITIONS OR REVISIONS TO SCHOOL DISTRICT RULES, Item Number 2. School Board Rule 6Gx17-7.02 Code of Student Conduct: Secondary Rights and Responsibilities Handbook).









Dr. Mason called the Regular Meeting to order at 6:50 p.m. The invocation was given by Mr. Bob Husbands, Executive Director, Escambia NEA UniServ, and the Pledge of Allegiance was led by Mr. Harry Evans.

Dr. Mason introduced Mrs. Janice Gilley, newly appointed School Board Member, District 5, for a term beginning June 7, 1999, to serve during the suspension of Mrs. Vanette Webb who was removed from the Office of School Board Member, District 5, by the Governor on May 21, 1999. Dr. Mason also introduced Mrs. Maureen George, new School Board Attorney.

VI. FINANCE

(Backup filed in Supplementary Minute Book, Exhibit D)

Mrs. Patricia Wascom, Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Business Affairs, provided additional information regarding Board action last month wherein the Board had approved a resolution to authorize the financing of the purchase and installation of certain energy conservation measures. She advised that the proposal approved as part of the resolution addressed pricing and basic terms under which the formal agreement would be prepared. It also represented that the bank's proposal would require formal credit approval. In light of the closing date of June 29, 1999, Mrs. Wascom updated the Board on two items related to the financing arrangement. It is an agreement with Sun Trust for the lease purchase: 1) it was included in the bank's proposal letter that there were no prepayment penalties; however, the bank's credit approval does include a make hold provision because it was not stated in the response to the Request for Proposal. The make hold provision is designed to protect the bank from a financial loss that may arise from prepayment of the lease in an unfavorable interest rate environment. There could be a fee assessed if that is the case. It was also noted that the proposal included an adjustment to interest rate clause. The interest rate will be indexed to the U.S. treasury rate. As of yesterday the index rate had risen from 5.68%, which was on the date of the proposal, to 6.16%. If the lease had closed yesterday the new rate on the lease would be 5.22% instead of 4.9% because of the time period that has occurred since the date of the proposal. Mrs. Wascom conveyed that the master lease agreement had to be negotiated before the financing could be resolved.
