Board Meeting Minutes what all happens on the operational side? I mean, the delivery of service. How does that work? MS. NORRIS: Well, that is done in collaboration with the CAO, or with the other offices who report directly to the CEO. But it's still all coordinated through the CAO. Each grant is a team initiative. The grant manager is really responsible for seeing that that program is run as it was written, and to perform -to fill out the report. However, that grant manager is assisted by analysts in my office, and also with budget and grant accounting. MR. TILDON: Does this include grants that are applied for by the individual schools? MR. SMOLARZ: If it's under $5,000, it's not part of this report. MR. TILDON: Okay. But suppose Douglas High School applies to Friends American for $100,000? MR. SMOLARZ: They should come through the Grants administration. MR. TILDON: They should. MR. SMOLARZ: They should. I won't swear that we have every one. But $5,000 in the School System. And, Commissioner Tildon, I wanted to make one other comment on a prior question. Most grants have an evaluation component to it. And we have in the loop Dr. Yawkmowski and her staff to make sure that they're evaluating each of the grants. So when it comes back up for renewal, we can evaluate the merits of it and determine if we really want to go after that grant again. MS. MURPHY: Who makes that determination? MR. SMOLARZ: It's a combination. Some ask for an independent evaluation. But, at a minimum, it would be Dr. Yawkmowski. Thank you. MS. WELCH: Thank you. MS. RUSSO: Moving ahead with Action Items and Disciplinary Actions. Mr. Carter? MR. CARTER: Good evening, Dr. Welch, Ms. Russo, and Members of the Board. We request to report the following items to the Board: Case No. 02-03s - affirm the recommendation for the hearing officer that upholds the CEO's expulsion decision. Case No. 02-14s - affirm the recommendation of the hearing officer that modifies the expulsion of the decision of the CEO to a long-term suspension and counseling. And, finally, Case No. 02-01-0205 - affirm the settlement agreement of the parties. MS. MURPHY: So moved. MR. JONES: Second. MS. WELCH: Properly moved and seconded that we accept the report. All in favor? THE BOARD: Aye. MS. WELCH: Opposed? MS. RUSSO: PEP Agenda. file://S:\CMS_Content\meetings\2002\J11_02.html Page 32 of 41 9/23/2002
Board Meeting Minutes MS. AMOS: Good evening, Commissioners and CEO. I have presented the PEP report to the PEP Committee. We had much dialogue about the -- to the report itself, and to materials that we will be bringing to the PEP Committee in the future. The enhancements for leadability have been incorporated in a final document that will be passed out tonight. Commissioner Murphy will receive a permanent appointment. So we're moving forward with the CAO reorganization. The remainder of the -- the majority of jobs would be on the PEP Agenda on the 25th. MS. SIEGLE: So moved. MR. STREUVER: Properly moved and seconded that we will accept the PEP Agenda. All in favor? THE BOARD: Aye. MS. WELCH: Opposed? MR. JONES: Abstained? MR. STRINGFIELD: Two. MS. WELCH: Two abstentions? MS. AMOS: With regard to the recruitment update, I don't have the slides with me today. I've had technological difficulties. So we'll just have to report it the old-fashioned way. So if the Board Commissioners would bear with me for just a second. Mainly, I'd like to just focus on the teacher selection and placement fair we had Friday and Saturday last year. And I'd like to say it was a collaborative process. MR. STRINGFIELD: You mean last weekend? MS. AMOS: I said last year, I'm sorry. Yeah, last weekend. That Friday and Saturday. I have received many E-mails from participants of both days. It was a collaborative process. We had representation from departments across the System to help us with this event. So, for that, I say thank you. We have 543 prescreened candidates that were at the selection fair on Saturday. The majority of the schools were represented. We made selections, and we have other candidates that are waiting to be selected. We have candidates that have gone to the schools to meet with principals and see where the schools are. And we've received phone calls to that selection since that point in time. We still have probably around 300 or 350 viable candidates we need to place. And that will be -- we will aggressively move forward with that next week, as we've given that number for vacancies in the System. So, once again, Commissioner Stringfield was there on Saturday to get an opportunity to view, firsthand, the process. But it was a very collaborative process, and I think it was a successful process. MS. WELCH: Commissioner Murphy? MS. MURPHY: I think there is some concern that the school budget has not been received, and that there is some hesitation on the part of some principals to actually hire these teachers. And there's always the danger of losing these people. If they are coming and they're enthusiastic, and we really don't have something to really put in their hands, and then they're going someplace else. So I am hopeful that, in the future, that the budget will be in the schools long before we have the job fairs. MS.
