<br />VIL Items for Discussion
<br />& PolicvAUoohonProcedures MarjemnMcConoa||
<br />Chairperson Winchester asked Deputy Superintendent McConnell to discuss Policy Adoption Procedures, Mrs. McConnell stated that during negotiations
<br />we wanted to keep management in the Board's hands. We have tried to establish a system for the BEA to review policy. When the BEA holds their
<br />meetings. the policy is already in 30-day review and they haven't had time to review it, Policy in initial review typically only goes to the Board. Mrs.
<br />McConnell requested that all policy revisions be Submitted for initial review and that those also be submitted to the BEA for review, Then we can get input
<br />froin them before the policy is submitted for 30-day review. The current practice of submitting to 30-day after the Board has reviewed policy is notenough
<br />time to work together. This Would give us a better process to get BEA input, The Board Would still make the final decision on the policy language. Itwill
<br />make the process one month longer, Having the ability to talk about the policy and having BEA involvement will keep policy where it belongs and not in the
<br />Master Agreement. We will go through 3000 Students and 2000 Instruction soon, 5000 Personnel will affect them and we want to have their input. So the
<br />Board will approve policies for initial review, then vote for 30-day review, and then final adoption. Mrs, Messick Will Update the policy so it reflects this
<br />change for the next regular ineeting, The more the teachers are aware of the policies the better,
<br />Chairperson Winchester asked if any Board Member had any questions for Mrs, McConnell. Hearing none, she then moved on to the Updated Alternate
<br />Route to Graduation Plan
<br />B. Undamd Alternate Route to Graduation Plan GcouWuolomnhulmn
<br />Chairperson Winchester asked Mr. Womstenhulmtodiscuss the updated Alternate Route mGraduation Plan, Mr, Woolstmnhulm reviewed the purpose
<br />m the Alternate Route m Graduation, Kmm provide a route for students that are not able m pass parts of the |8ATA copy of the updated plan distributed
<br />to Board members, The other tests that demonstrate proficiency amthoACTSA7STAR.etc. We want mgive every student every opportunity possible
<br />m qualify for graduation. There i,a change io the first step. Mrs. Jennie Likes, counselor at Lincoln, is asking to include the COMPASS test. We have
<br />documentation that shows its correlation m|SAT. Wv will also include the AoCUPLACsR test's sentence skills, reading, and math ao well ao the Compays
<br />mudinUand ma�.wo will 'mnn|n�these »oomn�Nmesame level aowmuNbewquimd� pass Ne|�J. We�umoo|�opxko they did pass and
<br />�
<br />allow the other tests for the parts they didn't pass. Some parts we will be replacing with a Course or the senior paper, We are expecting a score of 75% or
<br />higher. The final step m demonstrate competency ioif they have kept their GPA and attendance Lip. The benchmark isn't for college or career ready. It only
<br />correlates m passing |SAJ scores. When asked how many students use the K te route m graduation, Mr. Woolstenhulme responded that th
<br />about 5-10 from Bonneville and Hillcrest, There will be a higher number at Lincoln. The State Board put in the requirement to pass the ISAT to graduate.
<br />Every district has an alternate graduation plan. This plan has a more academic focus. There was a question regarding how this plan compares with other
<br />district's plans. Mr. Woolstenhulme hasn't looked at neighboring districts plans, He feels this plan is much better than the state plan, There was a question
<br />regarding whether the options are listed in order of how they can be used. They were initially listed in alphabetical order. We will have to revise the plan to
<br />match tip with SBAC in the future The ISAT is a low proficiency mark. Correlation to the SBAC will probably require a higher score on the alternate plan,
<br />Chairperson Winchester asked if any Board Member had any questions for Mr. WoolstenhulmuHearing none, she then asked for e motion wapprove the
<br />updated Alternate Ruutew Graduation Plan.

<br />C� Marketinn and Events Coordimmpmition—Shal*neFmnc`'Aprilown
<br />Chairperson Winchester asked Dr. French and Mrs. Burton to discuss the Marketing and Events Coordinator position. We believe that we are not using Our
<br />facilities to capacity and that we Could use these to add revenues into the District. There was a question regarding whether there iso staff member over
<br />these facilities. There are staff members m the schools who act ao schedulers, They are not going out and seeking people to come in and use the facilities.
<br />We see this as a way to bring in a revenue stream to offset playground equipment costs, pay to play, etc. so more kids can participate.
<br />Sornekdeas for the person Would bem create acamp and then charge money for area kids and Our kids Could participate mareduced rate. We have sent
<br />alot of club volleyball to Utah. Could we not beehost for something like that as well efor basketball? For the Technical Careers High School car show,
<br />we could promote K and maybe bring in vendors. Maybe we could sponsor car races in the parking lots with firned runs. People pay to use the parking lot,
<br />but there is no one selling anything. We could make some money with these events. Maybe we could promote the use of the baseball fields but, we Would
<br />need m take care m them correctly, The staff are protective m the auditoriums. The Board is seeing the amount that m being cut for students and there in
<br />concern about creating another position m this time. Maybe wo Could give Our Current people o stipend. These people are currently being for their time
<br />but they are not promoting these activities. Mrs. Landers asked what the proposed salary for the position Would be, |tio proposed ao$44.oO0 for e pad-
<br />time poniiioo,Thniotentivto start now and then in January 201si/ the program b not self-sustaining ii will bv cut. The hope b that hy June 205.itwould
<br />be fully sustaining through the revenues generated, This will be an exempt position and is not a 20 hour job per se. It Would be a benefited position. The
<br />person Would ho working the hours ao needed to accomplish the goal,
<br />Mm, Landers has had multiple calls regarding this d position and had additional questions, Is there any commission connected with the position?
<br />No that is not anticipated, We are looking for a proposal. There have been discussions with the candidate but there has been no discussion of commission.
<br />We anticipate that the revenue stream will cover all costs, There is no plan in writing to see how the person plans to get to the revenue stream. Mr.
<br />McBride wondered if new positions should be presented and voted on before the interview process. There was a question about what was listed aothe
<br />qualifications and when the position was posted. It was posted in January and there were five interviews. There was a question about who made up the
<br />interviewing committee. Dr. French, Mrs. McConnell, and Mr. Trauntvein narrowed it to two candidates. Dr. Shackett interviewed the finalists and offered
<br />the position pending board approval. TbemwmoaqueotiunmgardinDmhatmoU*Neoaodidawthomnotnomctke.Both8na|iamhooboonpmmming

<br />committee? Yes wm believed that either candidate would boacceptable for this position. There was m question regarding whether the candidate has
