COMPLIANCE WITH OPEN MEETING LAW NOTIFICATION [§19.84(2)]. The special meeting of the Oshkosh Area School District Board of Education was called to order by President Lemberger on Monday, September 13, 2010 at 4:30 p.m. in the district administrative offices. Teresa Collins verified that the meeting had been noticed pursuant to Wisconsin State Statutes.

ROLL CALL - Verification of Quorum. Present: Dedow, Eliasen, Lemberger, McDermott Absent: Loewenstein (arrived at 4:53), Schneider, Wiedenhoeft (arrived at 4:51 and was excused at 7:05 p.m.) Also Present: B. Tess, K. Handy, B. Borsch, R. Johnston, D. Gundlach, D. Lewis, B. Geigle, P. Vickman, H. Rottier, S. Muza Dr. Viegut pointed out that conditions need to be created where informed discussions are taking place to allow for informed decision making. We are moving from the conversations to the decision making relatively soon. We have to be transparent, highly productive and get results on the big work. Dr. Viegut reviewed some of the tight timelines. An overview of the documents distributed included:

- One page July 2010 employment and labor force data - Memo regarding education jobs fund - Questions asked by board members and where that answer is going to be provided in tonight’s

session - Series of documents that look at other quantitative data that may be of value as needs and

potential spending are discussed. History of levying to authority or not and what could have been done with that.

- Details on budget - 2010-11 looming needs

Bob Borch shared with the board the PMA projections. For a variety of reasons, new data needs to be entered. He pointed out that as the board decides the budget for the current year, it needs to keep in mind the effect budget development will have on future year’s needs to cut from the budget. There was some concern from the board with the accuracy of the model in that the model was not updated to reflect the most current information. Without that information, some of the board felt it would be a hard sell to the community. Dave Gundlach spoke to the board with regard to technology and comparison to other districts. It is difficult to compare Oshkosh to other districts because districts put different things in their technology budgets. There is a lot of variance. He used Appleton, Fond du Lac, Menasha and Oshkosh and divided the expenditures for technology resources by enrollment. Menasha was at $275 per student, Fond du Lac was at $171, Appleton at $150 per student, and Oshkosh was at about $120 per student. The focal point of most districts was not on infrastructure since they are well beyond that point. The focal point was 21st century skills. Neenah, Menasha, Ripon, and Rosendale will be rolling out 1-to-1 initiatives by handing every student some type of personal technology device. High school systems are struggling most with the idea of trying to become relevant. Currently, Oshkosh does not have infrastructure in place to support the aging computers we currently have. The biggest fear is equipment failures. Randy Johnston spoke to the board regarding maintenance comparisons. Again, every district budgets for maintenance differently. Menasha has a capital improvements budget which is 1% of the total operating budget as well as 1% in operational budget excluding utilities. Shelly Muza reviewed a memo with regard to the Education Jobs Fund. Oshkosh was given $2.1million to be used for jobs. The district is currently looking at 3 phases: Phase I would include enrollment driven FTE, Phase II would include 2010-11 recommendations based on established criteria, and Phase III would


include recommendations such as a dean of students at North High, Jefferson and Smith professional development/gifted and talented/math intervention and special education support. It would also include sustaining Phases I and II in 2011-12 as well as addressing the end of the ARRA funding. A document listing looming needs was distributed. The board needed to determine what portion of those needs can be addressed in the 2010-11 budget and it was noted that there will be a direct correlation to a levy conversation. The 4 broad categories included improving technology, ensuring world class educational services for students, improving fiscal district strength, and taking responsibility for deferred maintenance. Technology needs: initial infrastructure repair ($1.4 million) to replace all outdated switches; initial replacement of some outdated workstations ($450,000) initial outfitting of technology, and equipping some of our classrooms ($160,000). $2.16 million total. Math intervention for elementary age students: Oakwood, Traeger, and Lakeside/Green Meadow do not have any math intervention support. The board also needs to look at how the district currently delivers ELL services. Fund balance: The district currently has a policy that suggests a fund balance of between 10-12%. The recommendation was to apply $300,000 to fund balance. Deferred maintenance: The district needs to address boilers and would like to replace boilers at Emmeline Cook and Merrill. There are 34 boilers in the district that are at or beyond their life expectancy. There continues to be looming roof repairs that need to be addressed. Single pane windows at Oshkosh West need to be addressed. Currently, maintenance has $50,000 per year for the next 3 years dedicated to a single pane window issue for one elementary school. The group was divided into 4 tables and asked the following: What are different lenses we have to look at from different people sitting at the table? Table 1 MW, JL, DL, DG Stemmed mainly around 2 pieces – colored coded charts and looming needs. The second piece was the levy limit and how to keep ourselves on track and keep a balanced budget that is sustainable in the future. Three columns come out of the 20% side and one column comes out of the 80% side. With regard to the history of revenue collected, what is the slope of the line going to look like and at what point is that no longer sustainable? Table 2 KL, BG, SM This is a moment of opportunity. The district currently has access to federal money and if we work on sustaining revenue, we can start transformation of our district in new ways. Where are the things that are going to get people excited? Revisiting elementary school math curriculum by putting math specialists full time in the elementary schools. Use money for making an ALPS 2 on the south side of Oshkosh. Start some innovative programs so this discussion is not about filling holes left behind. Need to start rethinking the district but need extra revenue to move into a better direction. Look for opportunity and tell a story of hope. Try to be positive. Don’t want to do business the same old way by raising taxes. This is a transformative moment and a new opportunity for us to start.

Table 3 HR, SE, PV, TM Meeting needs of individual students in a culture of collaboration with professional staff. Look back and identify what we carry forward. Are our students doing well? Are we managing resources efficiently? There is a lot of good we can carry forward. Articulating a clear case for whatever the levy ends up being. Want a firm understanding of what the community needs.


Table 4 RJ, SD, BT, KH The need for transparency, breaking down information into a digestible format so people can understand. Need to be able to defend what it is we are doing. How much did we lose last year by not taxing to the limit? Develop and show the reasons for why we are taking these steps. Create talking points to be reinforced throughout the community. Focus on positive things. Bob Tess reviewed documents used to assist in creating the conditions where informed discussions can take place. It was noted that 12.26% is the amount of additional money being asked for locally. The 13% is the increase in mill rate. Mr. Tess showed a variation from the full revenue authority using a 9.5% increase. Bob Borch indicated he would attempt to provide the board with updated PMA projections with the caveat that doing so could corrupt future projections. Moved by McDermott and seconded by Loewenstein to adjourn the meeting. Unanimous upon roll call. The meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m. Respectfully submitted,

Teresa Collins Teresa Collins Secretary


COMPLIANCE WITH OPEN MEETING LAW NOTIFICATION [§19.84(2)]. The regular meeting of the Oshkosh Area School District Board of Education was called to order by President Lemberger on Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. in the district administrative offices. Teresa Collins verified that the meeting had been noticed pursuant to Wisconsin State Statutes. ROLL CALL - Verification of Quorum. Present: Dedow, Eliasen, Loewenstein, Lemberger, McDermott, Schneider, Wiedenhoeft PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE was led by student from Emmeline Cook Elementary School. NON AGENDA PUBLIC FORUM: Kelly Sherman, 655 Weatherstone Dr., expressed her concern with the condition of Oaklawn. She stated that Oaklawn needs a healthy, safe educational environment that has sufficient space and storage and that is equipped with what other schools have. She asked the board to consider the teachers and students of Oaklawn when deciding to spend the additional budget money. Steve Lemmons, 2019 N. Main, presented the board with a proposal for a community project sponsored by the welding class at Fox Valley Technical College. It would be a new sign for Oaklawn that would allow the public to know what is happening at that school. In addition, he will be asking the energy class at FVTC to develop a solar power lighting system for the sign. AGENDA PUBLIC FORUM: Dennis McHugh, 1220 Greenfield Tr., had difficulty reading the comments he had prepared. President Lemberger suggested he e-mail his comments to the board. Anne Freid, 617 W. 17th Ave., welcomed the new board members and expressed her excitement with the direction the district is going. The budget is a difficult topic to discuss and she trusts the board will do the right thing by keeping in mind all students when deciding what to do about the budget. Paul Esslinger, 2350 High Oak Dr., expressed his disappointment with the proposed 13.5% tax increase. He reminded the board of the multiple jurisdictions that tax. He stated that the public does not understand how the district slashes the budget, has millions left over and then has to increase taxes. He also disagreed with the practice of passing out index cards to the board for input. He would like to hear the board’s ideas. Teresa Thiel, 246 W. 12th Ave., agreed that 13.5% is a significant increase; however, she hoped that when the board makes this decision, it is not based on whether or not members will get reelected or not. She urged the board to base their decisions on what this district needs. PRESENTATION ON LOWES GRANT Pete Cernohous, retired principal from West High School, accepted a check for $23,800 from Lowes. Lowes has a great educational support group and provided West with an opportunity to apply for grant money. This grant money will be used to remodel the entire head house as well as updating the courtyard. BOARD/ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Superintendent of Schools Dr. Viegut:

Thanked Farmers Insurance and Citizens Bank for holding their first annual backpack event. Thanked Anderson Chiropractic for the donation of school supplies to Washington. Franklin students were awarded $3951.19 from Wal-mart. Oaklawn received a donation of tiles from Carpet Warehouse. Riverside program at FVTC currently has 42 students enrolled. To date all students have

followed the attendance policy and remain in the program. Webster Stanley Middle School was recognized by AWSA as an exemplary middle school.


WORKSHOP SESSION AGENDA 2010-2011 Budget Draft #2 Bob Tess Bob Borch from PMA was asked by the board to adjust some model projection numbers mid-year. To accomplish this, he overrode the assumptions for 2011 and placed in there the projected budget. These numbers became the basis off which future projections were built. Even with the positive variance in 2010-11, there will continue to be a deficit in 2011-12 and subsequent deficits growing each year ranging from $4 million to $11 million. It was noted that if the board decides to reduce property taxes, the total revenue would be decreased and because a certain amount of taxes is non-recurring, there would not be a change in property taxes in future years because of the inability to add money back. The revenue limit capacity the board has this year is $2.1 million and if it is not utilized, it will not be able to be recovered in future years. Bob Tess reviewed the positive budget variance of $3,067,642 from 2009-10. The recommendation was to apply this to fund balance and technically that has been done.

There are 2 noteworthy changes in the proposed budget: (1) non-tax revenue in Fund 10 went up approximately $98,000 and (2) expenditures went up from 1,000,000 to 103,794,417. The difference is largely due to looming needs. Currently, there are $10 million in looming needs and administration realized there was not enough room under the revenue cap to address all of them so it was decided to address $3 million of those needs.

The looming needs in the district ranked in priority order by administration are as follows: 1. Math intervention $300,000

In the past, $295,000 was pulled from math support and switched only to Title 1 support. Studies show that 25% of students will need math intervention. It is important to have a level of support in all of the schools. This would include some FTE and some teacher training.

2. Educational services to ELL $300,000 Currently, the district serves approximately 400 students of over 20 different languages. There are 16 teachers and 8 assistants for 22 schools. The method used to get education to the students is very important and the district is currently moving toward a consultancy model. ELL is a subgroup and can determine whether a school makes their AYP.

3. Initial IT infrastructure repair $1,400,000 4. Initial outfitting of classrooms $160,000 5. Replace boiler at E. Cook $1,100,000

Many of the steam boilers in the district are at the end of their useful life. Randy Johnston commented that it makes sense to replace the entire heating system at one time; otherwise, the building would be operating with 2 different systems. The building could operate with one boiler but it would not be as comfortable.

6. Phase 1 windows at West $50,000 This would make minimal strides in replacing windows at West.

7. Contribute to Fund 10 balance $128,559 Currently, Oshkosh is required to short-term borrow and that will be one of the actions taken on October 13. To have additional dollars added this budget year could be one more step to show Moody’s that the district is taking practices to maintain the fund balance at a policy level.

8. Accelerating Looming Needs $1,300,000 This represents a budget item placed in technology that includes $900,000 to accelerate work station replacements; $1,200 for computers; $70,000 for UPS and cooling enhancements to the server room; $101,000 to establish redundant backbone for the network; and $229,000 for initial deployment for a secure wireless network. This is in addition to the $1.4 million to replace switches.

N.A. Increase F27 Transfer $500,000 There was support for keeping #1, 2, 3, 4, increasing #7 to $300,000, and reducing #8 to $520,000 for a total of $2,980,000.

TO: Board of Education FROM: Peggy E. West Food Services Director DATE: 10/7/10 RE: Purchase of Replacement Truck I am respectfully requesting permission to replace a 1995 food service delivery truck with a 2011 GMC (Gas) Savana Commercial Cutaway truck for a cost of $36,581. The 1995 truck has 107,000 miles on it. In the past year, this truck has had $4,771 of repairs, including replacement of the cargo door and rollers, brakes and rotors, directional lever, and a partial replacement of the truck bed. The purchase of a new truck would be funded through Fund 50 and would not affect Fund 10. This truck, along with 2 other food service trucks, is used by the maintenance department and the high school band departments when not in use by food service. An RFP has been sent to the companies listed below. Specified was a 2011 GMC Savana Commercial Cutaway Van with RWD 4500 159” WB Diesel with a GVWR of 14,200# and lift. Quotes were received by Friday, July 30, 2010. They are as follows: Company: Truck: Cost: Bob Fish Buick GMC 2011 GMC Savana Cutaway (diesel) $46,662 Bergstrom GM of Oshkosh 2011 GMC Savana Cutaway (diesel) $47,248 L&S Truck Center 2011 Ford E-450 Cutaway (gas) $38,480 Additional quotes: Company: Truck: Cost: Bob Fish Buick GMC 2011 GMC Savana Cutaway (gas) $36,581 Bergstrom GM of Oshkosh 2011 GMC Savana 4500 Series (gas) $38,240 L&S Truck Center 2007 Mitsubishi (diesel) ≈$30,000 Bergstrom GM of Oshkosh 2005 GMC (gas) $23,487 Bergstrom GM of Oshkosh 2006 GMC (diesel) $22,000

Upon further research, I have determined that a gas engine would be more cost effective and appropriate for the food service department needs. A diesel engine provides more brute pulling force for heavy loads and steep upgrades. It is a more powerful engine with a longer mileage life. That said, a diesel engine will cost more upfront, will cost more to repair, and will cost more to fill with fuel. Additionally, I expect that the number of miles put on the truck to remain steady over the next 15 years. This vehicle is expected to go 120,000 miles, about half of the miles normally put on a diesel engine. I do recommend purchasing a new truck as opposed to a used truck. Truck #21 is a 2000 (gas) with 70,000 miles and truck #8 is a 2001 (diesel) with 73,000 miles. With history as a guide, we could potentially be replacing truck #21 in about 5 years. Please contact me if you have additional questions. I can be reached at 424-4936. Thank you.

WHEREAS, school districts are authorized by the provisions of Section 67.12(8), Wisconsin Statutes, to borrow money and issue tax and revenue anticipation promissory notes for such purpose;

WHEREAS, the School Board deems it necessary and in the best interest of the District that funds be borrowed and tax and revenue anticipation promissory notes be issued pursuant to the provisions of Section 67.12(8), Wisconsin Statutes;

WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 67.12(8), Wisconsin Statutes, the total amount borrowed shall be for the purpose of meeting the immediate expenses of operating and maintaining the public instruction in the District during the current school year, shall not exceed one-half the estimated receipts for the operation and maintenance of the District for the current school year, and the loan shall not extend beyond November 1 of the next school year; and,

WHEREAS, the tax for the operation and maintenance of the schools of the District for the current school year was voted to be collected on the next tax roll at the School Board’s meeting on October 13, 2010.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the School Board of the District that:

1. Authorization. For the purpose herein above set forth, there shall be borrowed, pursuant to Section 67.12(8), Wisconsin Statutes, the aggregate principal sum of not to exceed $14,000,000.

2. Terms of the Note(s). To evidence such indebtedness, the District President and District Clerk are hereby authorized, empowered and directed to make, execute, issue, sell and deliver to the Purchaser(s), as set forth below, for and on behalf of the District, its Tax and Revenue Anticipation Promissory Note No. 1 and Tax and Revenue Anticipation Promissory Note No. 2 (the “Note(s)”) payable to the order of the Purchaser(s) in the principal amount(s) and at the interest rate(s) as follows:

The Note(s) shall be dated the date of their issuance to the Purchaser(s) identified above; shall bear interest at the rates set forth above from their dated date until paid; and shall be in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples thereof. Note No. 1 shall mature on June 23, 2011 and Note No. 2 shall mature on September 22, 2011.1 Interest on the Note(s) shall be paid at maturity.

3. Redemption Provision. The Note(s) shall be non-callable.

4. Arbitrage Covenant. The proceeds of the Note(s) (the “Note Proceeds”) shall be used solely for the purposes for which borrowed (or for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Note(s)). The Note Proceeds may be temporarily invested in legal investments until needed, provided however, that the District hereby covenants and agrees that so long as the Note(s) remain outstanding, the proceeds from the sale of the Note(s) will not be used or invested in a manner which would cause the Note(s) to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and any applicable income tax regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”).

The District Clerk, or other officer of the District charged with the responsibility for issuing the Note(s), shall provide an appropriate certificate of the District, for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings, setting forth the reasonable expectations of the District regarding the amount and use of the Note Proceeds and the facts and estimates on which such expectations are based, all as of the date of delivery and payment for the Note(s).

1Under Wisconsin law, the Note(s) must mature on or before November 1 of the following school year; however, the federal Arbitrage

Regulations impose a limitation that requires the Notes to mature within 13 months of date of issuance.

2

5. Irrepealable Tax. So long as the Note(s), or interest thereon, remain unpaid, the aforesaid tax for operation and maintenance of the District shall be and continues irrepealable. The District hereby pledges tax monies and other available revenues received for operation and maintenance of the District sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Note(s) as the same becomes due. Said tax monies and other available revenues shall be segregated in a special fund which shall be used for the sole purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Note(s). If there shall be insufficient sums in said special fund to meet such payments, the District shall promptly pay the same when due from other monies available in or attributable to the current school year. This covenant specifically includes monies (i.e. deferred tax and state aid payments) attributable to the current school year which are not received prior to the end of the current school year.

6. Execution of the Note(s) and Closing Documents. The Note(s) shall be issued in typewritten form, one Note for each separate interest rate. The Note(s) shall be executed on behalf of the District by the District President and District Clerk, or others authorized by law and this Resolution to sign on their behalf, sealed with the official or corporate seal, if any, and delivered to the Purchaser upon payment to the District of the purchase price thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of delivery. A facsimile signature of either of the officers may be imprinted on the Note(s) in lieu of the manual signature of such officer, but unless the District has contracted with a fiscal agent under Section 67.10(2) of the Wisconsin Statutes, at least one of the signatures shall be manual. In the event that any of the officers whose signatures appear on the Note(s) shall cease to be such officers before the delivery of the Note(s), such signatures shall, nevertheless, be valid and sufficient for all purposes to the same extent as if they had remained in office until such delivery.

In the event that the District President or District Clerk are unable to execute the Note(s) or any documents or certificates relating to the issuance of the Note(s) due to disability or absence from the District, the School Board hereby appoints the District Vice President to discharge the duties of the District President (as “Acting President”) and appoints the District Treasurer (and in the case of the Treasurer’s disability or absence, the District Vice President is appointed) to discharge the duties of the District Clerk (as “Acting Clerk”).

7. Persons Treated as Owners; Transfer of Note(s). The District Clerk shall keep books for the registration and for the transfer of the Note(s). The person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and payment of either principal or interest on any Note shall be made only to the registered owner thereof. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

Any Note may be transferred by the registered owner thereof by surrender of the Note at the office of the District Clerk, duly endorsed for the transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the registered owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such transfer, the District President and District Clerk shall execute and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Note or Notes of a like aggregate principal amount, series and maturity and the District Clerk shall record the name of each transferee in the registration book. No registration shall be made to bearer. The District Clerk shall cancel any Note surrendered for transfer.

The District shall cooperate in any such transfer, and the District President and District Clerk are authorized to execute any new Note or Notes necessary to effect any such transfer.

3

The 15th day of the calendar month next preceding the interest payment date shall be the record date for the Note(s). Payment of interest on the Note(s) on the interest payment date shall be made to the registered owners of the Note(s) as they appear on the registration book of the District at the close of business on the record date.

8. Closing. The appropriate officers and agents of the District are hereby directed and authorized to do all acts and execute and deliver all documents as may be necessary and convenient to effectuate the closing of this borrowing.

9. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligation Status. The District hereby designates the Note(s) to be “qualified tax-exempt obligations” pursuant to the provisions of Section 265 of the Code and in support of such designation, the District Clerk, or other officer of the District charged with the responsibility for issuing the Note(s), shall provide an appropriate certificate of the District necessary to establish the “qualified tax-exempt obligation” status of the Note(s) as of the date of delivery and payment for the Note(s).2

10. Additional Tax Covenants Including Rebate. The District hereby further covenants and agrees that it will take all necessary steps and perform all obligations required by the Code and the Regulations (whether prior to or subsequent to the issuance of the Note(s)) to assure that the Note(s) are obligations described in Section 103(a) of the Code, the interest on which is exempt from federal income taxation, throughout the term of such Note(s). The District Clerk or other officer of the District charged with the responsibility of issuing the Note(s), shall provide an appropriate certificate of the District, for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings, as of the date of delivery and payment for the Note(s) certifying that it can and covenanting that it will comply with the provisions of the Code and the Regulations. Such certificate shall indicate that the District qualifies for either the “small governmental units” or the expenditure within six months exceptions to the rebate requirement of the Code, set forth certain facts regarding the use of the Note Proceeds to establish that the Note(s) will not constitute “private activity bonds” as defined in Section 141 of the Code and state other facts necessary to establish that the Note(s) are obligations described in Section 103(a) of the Code, the interest on which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

It is the intent of the District to take all reasonable and lawful actions to comply with any new tax laws enacted so that the Note(s) will continue to be obligations described in Section 103(a) of the Code, the interest on which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

11. Utilization of The Depository Trust Company Book-Entry-Only-System. In order to make the Note(s) eligible for the services provided by The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”), the District agrees to the applicable provisions set forth in the DTC Blanket Letter of Representation. If the District does not have a Blanket Letter of Representation on file with DTC, either the district administrator or business manager (or persons holding similar positions) are authorized and directed to execute such Letter of Representation and deliver it to the

2If the District expects to issue more than $30,000,000 in tax-exempt obligations during the current calendar year, the Note(s) cannot be

“qualified tax-exempt obligations” under the provisions of Section 265 and this paragraph should be crossed out. Paragraph 35 of the

Certificate of District Clerk should also be crossed out.

DTC on behalf of the District.3

Board Meeting Date: October 13, 2010 Agenda Item: #10

STAFF REPORT — EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

(Also to be used with resolution going directly to the Board)

SUBJECT: Tentative Agreement for 2010-12 between the Board of Education and the Non-Teaching Employees Association - Food Service Unit

Presenter(s): Patti Vickman, Executive Director of Human Resources Bill Bracken, Labor Relations Coordinator, Davis/Kuelthau I. Overall Content/Purpose of Presentation:

To present the Board with a tentative agreement for a 2010-12 collective bargaining agreement between the Board of Education and the Non-Teaching Employees Association - Food Service Unit.

II. Board Motion Needed (if any)

A Board motion will be needed to approve the tentative agreement between the Board and the NTEA-FSU.

III. Major Points in this Report:

A. The parties concluded mediation on Thursday, September 28, 2010. A tentative agreement was entered into at that time. That tentative agreement has subsequently been drafted and is attached to this report. The Food Service Unit voted to ratify the agreement on Wednesday, October 6, 2010. The Board is now asked to vote to approve this tentative agreement.

B. The two-year average total package increase for this contract is 3.5% without considering

the Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) and 2.75% with the HRA taken into account. Within that package, the Board was able to provide wage increases of 2.5%. In addition to obtaining a voluntary settlement, there are additional benefits to the Board in this agreement. Noteworthy for the Board, is that the agreement will allow the District to implement a $2,000 single/$4,000 family deductible plan effective January 1, 2011. Employees will continue to pay the first $250/$500 deductible and the District will self-insure the difference.

The net overall HRA savings is estimated to be $5,732 for the remaining six months of the 2010-11 fiscal year and then $13,265 for the 2011-12 fiscal year based on the current utilization rate of 62.5% and fees. There are 2 single and 10 family participants in the health plan. Other features of the tentative agreement include:

1. New hires shall be paid over 21 pay periods. All employees will have direct deposit;

2. Health plan design changes included an increase in the deductible from

$100/$200 to $250/$500; 3. Increasing the prescription drug co-pays form $0 generic/$5 name brand

formulary/$20 name brand non-formulary to $0/$5/$20/$40; and

4. A ten year service threshold and minimum 3.75 hours per day requirement was added to be eligible for post-retirement benefits.

C. The FSU also achieved some goals:

1. Dollar caps were adjusted on health insurance to provide about 95% contribution by the District;

2. . The state increased retirement rates .3% for the District and .3% for the employee

share; 3. The District agreed to pick-up the employee’s share; and 4. Dollar caps on dental insurance were increased to reflect the District’s full

contribution.

D. Both sides clarified three provisions:

1. Disciplinary actions can begin at Step 2 of the grievance procedure; 2. Profit sharing will be based on a fiscal year; and 3. Staff development hours were corrected to reflect the actual practice.

E. The Board team strongly supports the Board’s approval of this tentative agreement.

IV. Impact on District Goals: The parties adhered to Board budget parameters in obtaining this settlement. V. Budget/Financial Impact

OCTOBER 13, 2010 RESOLUTION #11

CARRIED _______ LOST ________ WITHDRAWN ________ LAID OVER ________ BE IT RESOLVED, that the Oshkosh Area School District Board of Education approve the Request for Program or Curricular Modification per Board Policy 431.1 as filed with the secretary to the Board of Education.

October 13 2010 RESOLUTION #12 CARRIED______ LOST _____ WITHDRAWN _____ LAID OVER _____ BE IT RESOLVED, that the Oshkosh Area School District Board of Education approve the revisions to Board Policy 411 Equal Educational Opportunities as filed with the secretary to the Board of Education.

Board Meeting Date: October 13, 2010 Agenda Item: Resolution # 12

STAFF REPORT – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Subject: Revisions to Policy 411: Equal Educational Opportunities Presenter: Dr. Bob Geigle, Director of Special Education & Pupil Services

I. Overall Content/Purpose of Presentation: The purpose of this report is to provide information in support of needed revisions to Board Policy 411. The revisions are needed to update the names and positions of district staff members responsible for implementation of the policy and the accompanying rules.

II. Board Motion Needed:

A Board motion would be necessary to approve the proposed revisions to Policy 411: Equal Educational Opportunities.

III. Major Points in this Report:

A. Policy 411 states the overall assurance that all students who reside within the district’s geographic boundaries are provided an equal educational opportunity in accordance with federal and state laws. The policy establishes the parameters for determining when a student is discriminated against, and thus, the student is denied an equal educational opportunity.

B. One of the cross references was renumbered to align it with the appropriate policy. The title of the same cross reference was amended to make it consistent with Policy 411.2, as it was renamed to include the concept of “bullying”.

C. The accompanying rule was revised to indicate that “Patti Vickman, Executive Director of Human Resources” has replaced John Sprangers as the Equal Opportunity Officer responsible for addressing complaints under “Title IX, Title VI, and all other discrimination complaints”. The title for Dr. Robert Geigle was also updated to reflect the current title.

D. The rule was also updated to reflect current language regarding a “student with a disability” and delete all references to a Special Education Handbook, as that specific document does not exist.

IV. Impact on Students and/or Impact on Educational Quality:

Providing access and accommodations to all curricular, extracurricular, student services, recreational, or other activities is in line with the district’s mission of committing ourselves to educate and inspire all students to achieve their full potential. The revisions focus on updating district policy that provides all students an equal educational opportunity without discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation,race, national

origin, ancestry, color, creed, religion, pregnancy, marital or parental status, or physical, mental, emotional, or learning disability.

V. Budget/Financial Impact:

There is no direct budget impact associated with this resolution. Since this policy provides the authority for the district to organize and provide access and accommodations to programs and services to all children without discrimination, the real monetary impact is included in all Fund locations of the district’s general operating budget.
