OBJECTIVE:

Established at Johns Hopkins University in 1996, the National Network for Partnership Schools (NNPS) invites schools, districts, states, and organizations to join together and use research-based approaches to organize and sustain excellent programs of family and community involvement that will increase student success in school. PSD joined the NNPS in the spring of 2005. Operated by Special Programs and housed at Stevens Middle School, the Parent Engagement office provides information, support, training and technical assistance for each school’s Action Team for Partnerships. For the 11th consecutive year Pasco has been awarded the Partnership District Award from NNPS. We celebrate this award and the five schools, and their Action Team for Partnerships chairs, featured in the NNPS publication Promising Partnership Practices 2017.

To present the Partners in Kindness (PinK) Award to Dutch Bros for their generous contribution of $2,500 of school supplies to the Pasco School District.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES Ms. Lancon moved to approve the minutes of the regular board meeting of September 12, 2017 as presented. Mr. Christensen seconded the motion; the motion carried. AGENDA REVIEW Mrs. Whitney pointed out that there would be an executive session according to RCW 42.30.110 (1)(g) Personnel. There are no additions or changes to the agenda. AUDIENCE COMMENTS Mr. Lehrman explained that questions and comments are welcome after each report pertaining to the topic covered at that time. He then opened the floor for comments on any other topics. There were no audience comments. COMMUNICATIONS All board members, and Miss Rocha participated in the visit to Curie Elementary by OSPI Superintendent Chris Reykdal on September 18. Board members agreed that they were happy to see that they were on the same page with many of our ideas regarding Pasco schools moving forward. It was amazing how in line Pasco School District is with the things that are changing across the state. Dr. Richardson was able to visit various schools in the district. Ms. Lancon has visited Stevens, Ochoa and McLoughlin middle schools; Chess, Emerson and Robinson elementary schools and Pasco High School. She reported that she was impressed with all the teachers as she walked into many classrooms and found students fully engaged in a great atmosphere. Mr. Christensen reported that last week he and Assistant Superintendent Reyes attended a presentation on “green building” and found it very interesting. He stated that one of the largest costs is heating our buildings and they are doing some innovative things in that area. The presenter claimed energy savings were significant while construction cost increases were minimal. He also attended the WSSDA Legislative Assembly where legislative positions for the upcoming year are discussed. There were a number of presentations including a panel that talked about compensation and trying to understand some of the impacts of the new legislation. He also stated that there are many school districts who have concerns about the regionalization of school district boards, and that it is a good time for us to start inviting our legislators to see some of the things that are happening in our district. He was able to attend the PHS vs Southridge freshman football game where several of his scouts participated. They started slow, but came back to win. Miss Rocha shared how much she enjoyed seeing Curie Elementary and meeting Superintendent Reykdal. Miss Quiroz announced that next week is Suicide Awareness Week at Pasco High School. She also shared that freshman will be taking the WOIS test, sophomores and juniors the PSAT, and seniors will be participating in college readiness activities. Miss Craig shared that she was accepted into National Honor Society. Suicide Awareness Week started this week for Chiawana.

Board Meeting Minutes September 26, 2017 3

Mrs. Phillips has been involved in completing the Board of Distinction application. This is a good time for our board to review things that make good boards successful. Good boards have higher student achievement and the self-evaluation of this process helps us with that. It was difficult to define all the work that has been done in such a small space. Incredible things are coming for Pasco schools and we are dramatically improving across our district. She expressed her appreciation to so many who are making these things happen. Mr. Lehrman shared the letter written to WSSDA supporting the 2017 WSSDA Board of Distinction application and stated that staff, parents, and teachers are what really make this place succeed. REPORTS/DISCUSSION Board Policy Revisions: 3417 Catheterization; 3418 Response to Student Injury; 3419 (New) Self-Administration of Asthma and Anaphylaxis Medications – Ms. Thornton reported that this is a continuation of our process to review and revise board policies, and the second installment of the updated health policies presented at the previous board meeting. Policy 3417 Catheterization is being updated to include language permitting an employee to opt-out of catheterization responsibilities if such responsibility was not included in their job description when hired. Policy 3418 Response to Student Injury is updated from the outdated 1994 policy. Policy 3419 (New) Self-Administration of Asthma and Anaphylaxis Medications governs situations in which students are capable of carrying and self-administering medication such as an epi-pen or inhaler. Board Policy Revision: 9250 Naming of Facilities – Ms. Thornton reported that Policy 9250, Naming of Facilities, was last updated in 2006. The recommended update includes WSSDA model language on criteria for name selection. Discussion followed. Concerns were shared about the strict parameters. Mr. Lehrman asked for the board to share their thoughts and get back to Ms. Thornton for 2nd reading. Guidance would be needed in the procedure. He requested that Ms. Thornton send a draft of the procedures to the board before the 2nd reading. There were no public comments on this topic. Response to Public Comment Request – Ms. Thornton requested board direction for further action regarding a request by a community member for the district to submit a ballot proposition to the voters regarding school director districts. During the period of public comment during the regular board meeting of July 25, 2017, a Pasco resident requested that the board of directors submit a ballot proposition to the voters of Pasco regarding school director districts. The community member noted that RCW 28A.343.030 provides a mechanism for the district to submit a proposition to the voters that would authorize the board to divide the school district into director districts, rather than the current system of five at-large positions.

Board Meeting Minutes September 26, 2017 4

The background for the request was the recent federal Voting Rights Act litigation between the City of Yakima and the ACLU, which resulted in an order for the city to redistrict due to underrepresentation by their majority population (Hispanic), and the recent settlement by the City of Pasco with the ACLU due to similar underrepresentation. Staff requests direction from the board to conduct further research to identify options for board consideration. Discussion followed. On behalf of the board, Mr. Lehrman instructed Ms. Thornton to move forward with options and to provide more information. There were no audience comments at this time. Outrageous Outcomes and Data Byte: Reading – Mrs. Whitney provided the board with an update to benchmark data and key actions associated with meeting our Reading Outrageous Outcome. The board’s governance model identifies Results Policies which define the outcomes for our direct clients (students) by clarifying the expected organizational outcomes. These policies provide a framework for decision making and focus. Based on the existing District Strategic Improvement Plan which was developed through a collaborative process using:

survey results from over 10,000 students, parents, and staff; input from 201 parent, student, and staff focus groups, and 160 summit participants

The school board worked with district staff and building principals to identify 5 outrageous outcomes for Pasco School District. Results Policies 100% of all 3rd graders will read on grade level in their language of instruction 100% of students will pass Algebra by the end of 9th grade 100% of students are engaged in extracurricular activities 100% of 9th graders will end the school year on track for graduation 100% of students graduate and have a career path Discussion followed.

CABINET ADMINISTRATOR: Sarah Thornton

PRESENTER: Sarah Thornton

REPORT

1ST READING DISCUSSION 2ND READING ACTION REQUIRED

OBJECTIVE:

These policies are being presented for second reading and approval

BACKGROUND: (Pertinent past action/events) This is a continuation of our process to review and revise district policies, and the second installment of the updated health policies presented at the previous board meeting. Policy 3417 Catheterization is being updated to include language permitting an employee to opt-out of catheterization responsibilities if such responsibility was not included in their job description when hired. Policy 3418 Response to Student Injury is updated from the outdated 1994 policy. Policy 3419 (New) Self-Administration of Asthma and Anaphylaxis Medications governs situations in which students are capable of carrying and self-administering medication such as an epi-pen or inhaler.

PASCO SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1 3417

STUDENTS Catheterization The board authorizes that qualified staff provide for clean, intermittent bladder catheterization (CIC) of students or assisted self-catheterization in conformance to rules adopted by the state board of nursing. Catheterization is permitted under the following conditions: A. A parent, guardian or other person having legal control over the student files a written,

current and unexpired request that the district provide for the catheterization of the student; B. A licensed physician of the student file a written, current and unexpired request that

catheterization of the student be provided for during the hours when school is in session or the hours when the student is under the supervision of school officials;

C. A registered nurse provide written, current and unexpired instructions regarding

catheterization which states which staff members are designated to provide for catheterization and a description of the nature and extent of any supervision that is required; and

D. A staff member who is authorized to provide for catheterization must receive training from a

registered nurse consistent with the rules of the state board of nursing. Licensed practical nurses are trained to provide catheterization as part of their professional training and are, therefore, exempted from this training requirement.

Employees, except licensed nurses, who have not previously agreed in writing to perform CIC of students as a specific part of their job description may file a written letter of refusal. The employee’s refusal may not serve as grounds for discharge, nonrenewal, or any other action adversely affecting the employee’s employment or contract status. The district and its staff and the staff member who provides for catheterization in substantial compliance with this policy and the rules of the state board of nursing shall not be liable in any criminal action or for civil damages arising from providing catheterization. The district may discontinue catheterization service for a student without being liable so long as the affected parent(s) or guardian(s) are given advance oral/written notice.

STUDENTS Response to Student Injury or Illness The board of directors recognizes that schools are responsible for providing first aid or emergency treatment in case of injury or illness of a student. To that end, the board encourages school staff to become certified in first aid. Further medical attention in non-emergency cases is the responsibility of the parent or guardian. Schools will notify the parent or guardian of students who suffer injuries, illness or physical trauma at school or at any school sponsored activity as soon as practicable.

STUDENTS Self-Administration of Asthma and Anaphylaxis Medications It is the policy of the board of directors that students with asthma or anaphylaxis will have the opportunity to self-administer prescribed medications according to the requirements of this policy, district procedures, and the direction of the school nurse. For a student to possess and self-administer medication for asthma or anaphylaxis during school, during school events, and while traveling to and from these activities, the following is required:

1. The parent or guardian must submit a signed, written request for the student to carry and self-administer medication for asthma or anaphylaxis;

2. The parent or guardian must submit a valid, current prescription from a licensed health care provider for the medication and verification the student has received instruction on the use of the medication;

3. The student must demonstrate to the health care provider and school nurse that he/she possesses the skill necessary to use the medication and the device necessary to administer the medication in a responsible manner;

4. The health care provider provides a written treatment plan for managing the asthma or anaphylaxis episodes; and

5. The parent or guardian signs a liability waiver and an indemnification and hold-harmless agreement regarding claims arising from the result of injury due self-administration of the medication by the student.

Authorization to self-medicate under this policy must be renewed each year. The superintendent will establish procedures to implement this policy and establish emergency rescue procedures outlined in the most recent edition of AMES: Asthma Management in Educational Settings, in cases of suspected asthma and the emergency rescue procedures outlined in the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction’s Guidelines for the Care of Students with Anaphylaxis (2009) in cases of suspected anaphylaxis.

Section 6.4.9.  Emergency Trips.  In the event that a last minute trip is requested that does not allow time for driver notification or posting the District shall declare said trip an emergency trip.  The process is as follows;
