The Board Chairman called the meeting to order at 5:00 P.M. 2. PROPOSED 2017‐2018 BUDGET

The Director reviewed the recent BEP estimates and revenue numbers, uses of ending fund balance and other potential revenue enhancements. It was recommended to hold expenditure requests that the Board discussed previously. The Legislature is still in session, and a budget has not been approved.

Motion made by Mr. Blair, seconded by Mr. Hodge, to accept the Director’s recommendation for three (3) Safety Coaches to be added to the budget.

Vote: All Yes

3. CLASSIFIED SALARY LEVELS & STEPS

Lisa Moore, Board Member, provided an overview of the Salary Committee discussion and support for the proposal that was presented. Jeff Sandvig voiced that full implementation is an option based on current revenues. If the revenue numbers change, then the salary proposal would be tweaked. Mr. Holladay requested more time

to review and to defer for more study, more discussion about index formula process, and consistency across all positions. Chairman Jordan requested more time to review as well. Mr. Sandvig will bring Classified Salary levels and steps back to the Board at the next budget meeting. This item was deferred to the next budget meeting with no recommendation.

4. PROPOSED BUDGET

Mr. Odom reviewed the General Purpose School Budget. There was discussion and questions by Board Members about revenues. Mr. Sandvig stated that May 1 will provide closure to the April numbers, and he will have more information.

General Purpose School Budget – Fund 141 The first estimate for 2017‐2018 revenues is $356,825,778 which could be supplemented by using $7,996,206 from ending fund balance. We used $6,200,843 from ending fund balance to fund the 2016‐2017 GPS Budget. The draft budget has a 3% raise. A half per cent drop would reduce the budget by $1,233,600.

Cafeteria Budget – Fund 143 The Cafeteria Fund Budget has $17,937,000 in estimated revenues and $18,914,554 in expenditures. $977,554 from their ending fund balance would be used to balance Fund 143.

Capital Project Budget – Fund 177 The Capital Projects Budget, Fund 177, is in balance with $4,265,340 in revenues and $4,265,340 in expenditures.

Mr. Jordan asked Mr. Clardy to give a report on Christiana Elementary School repairs that happened due to the storm.

Ms. Sweeney was placed on a formal Plan of Assistance at the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year due to deficiencies in performance and professionalism.

As of the current date Ms. Sweeney has reported absences late and incorrectly. As of the current date Ms. Sweeney has failed to enter formative assessment data for four

assessments. As of the current date Ms. Sweeney has failed to administer formative assessments on at

Ms. Sweeney has also been habitually tardy over an extended period of time. Ms. Sweeney’s inefficiency results in the lack of instruction to students in her classroom. NEGLECT OF DUTY Tennessee law defines “neglect of duty” as “gross or repeated failure to perform duties and responsibilities which reasonably can be expected of one in such capacity or continued unexcused or unnecessary absence from duty.” As evidenced by the information provided in the “Facts” section of the Memorandum, Ms. Sweeney exhibited deficiencies in her ability to perform duties and responsibilities of her positon on a weekly, sometimes daily, basis. After being placed on an assistance plan and provided with resources to improve her performance, Ms. Sweeney’s

3

performance did not improve. Ms. Sweeney’s neglect of duty results in a lack of instruction to students in her classroom. INSUBORDIANTION Tennessee law defines “insubordination” as “refusal or continued failure to obey the school laws of Tennessee or to comply with the rules and regulations of the Board, or the principal, each acting within its own jurisdiction, when such rules, regulations and assignments are reasonable and not discriminatory.” Ms. Sweeney has repeatedly failed to comply with directives issued by the principal at Christiana Elementary School. Ms. Sweeney failed to successfully complete any of the components of her assistance plan as directed. RECOMMENDATIONS Based upon the foregoing information, I charge Ms. Jacqueline Sweeney with incompetence, inefficiency, neglect of duty and insubordination. I believe these charges warrant her dismissal as a tenured teacher. At the regular Board meeting on May 4, 2017 I will ask the Board of Education to sustain the charges against Ms. Sweeney. Thereafter, I will provide Ms. Sweeney with a copy of these charges and a statement of her rights under Tennessee law.
