Murfreesboro City Schools is pleased to announce that Kim Frank and Kevin Templeton will be presenting at the state’s LEAD Conference in late October. Their session will be titled Moving Upstream: A School System’s Story in Prevention and Intervention and will share the journey of Murfreesboro City as we have addressed the behavioral/emotional needs of our students. One of our Gifted Specialists, Christine Winterbrook, will be presenting at the Tennessee Association for Gifted (TAG) Conference on October 19-21 in Chattanooga. Murfreesboro City Schools Community Outreach would like to thank the MTSU Office of Student Organizations & Service and the Student Government Association for their donation of 900 snack bags to supplement the Backpack Food Program. The donation was in conjunction with the MTSU Day of Service. Murfreesboro City Schools has received an Adverse Childhood Experiences Initiative Grant in the amount of $200,000.00. The grant is from the Department of Children’s Services and will provide support in behavioral health for our children and families. MCS would also like to thank the many businesses that adopted our schools as part of the Hometown Huddle: Scales-Home Depot Cason Lane-Parks Group Mitchell Neilson Primary-Miller Loughry Beach Insurance Northfield-Yates Services Discovery-Rutherford County Government


For the 2016-2017 school year, Murfreesboro City Schools was awarded the LEAPS grant in the amount of $405,000.00 to serve students at six of our schools. These funds provide tutoring and extended learning opportunities for students in the Extended School Program. Cason Lane teacher Deana Secrest was the winner of a $1,000 mini-grant for math manipulatives or technology for her classroom at last weekend’s Tennessee Mathematics Teachers Association Conference at MTSU. St. Marks did a school supply drive for the teachers at Reeves Rogers. They donated items that were on teacher wish lists and were incredibly generous! They have also arranged a campus clean-up date for November. In addition, St. Marks has an active after-school tutoring program at the school. Hobgood Elementary would like to thank ETC gymnastics who sponsored a child in gymnastics who exhibited talents in this area. John Pittard Elementary would like to thank Kroger on Lascassas Pike for donating a $500 gift card and a cart full of school supplies to the students. Mitchell Neilson School would like to thank The Experience Church and Pizza Inn for donating all of the pizza for their Family Night. A grant was applied for by Chelsea Reardon, Youth Market Director of the American Heart Association, for our Coordinated School Health Department to receive a $5000 sponsor level CPR kit and they won that grant! The CPR kit will be housed at the district office and loaned out to schools. Under the leadership of Meri-Leigh Smith, Coordinated School Health generates more donations and in-kind gifts of greater value than the total cost of the department. Mr. Campbell said that we have a large number of businesses that our schools and board benefits from and the board appreciates these outside groups.

V. CONSENT ITEMS Minutes: August 23, 2016 Approval of School Fees Nancy Rainier moved to approve the consent items. Jared Barrett seconded the motion. All approved by saying aye. VI. ACTION ITEMS There were no action items on the agenda.


VII. REPORTS/INFORMATION ESP-Ralph Ringstaff and Kandy Powers Dr. Gilbert acknowledged Ralph Ringstaff for the great job he is doing as Extended School Program Director along with his responsibilities in HR, and also acknowledged Kandy Powers. Kandy was a large part of the after-school summit that was held recently at the Chamber, and she did a great job. Mr. Ringstaff introduced Kandy Powers, Academic Programs and Grant Coordinator for ESP. Mr. Ringstaff complimented Ms. Powers on an excellent job with ESP. Ms. Powers informed the board of the current enrollment of 2633 students in ESP. She also explained that 533 of those students receive tutoring services through ESP. She said that ESP was awarded a $10,000.00 increase in their existing 21st Century Grant and LEAPS Grant. She told of a conference that she had attended two years ago in Birmingham where the focus was on Lego Robotics. She received an email from United Way and United Way said that they would purchase a Lego Robotics kit for Discovery School and one for Bradley and will be purchasing one for Scales. Ms. Powers said that ESP was focusing on increasing parent involvement with different events. She then told of the events and showed an excellent video that Ryan Stewart, a teacher from Scales, created. Mrs. Collier Smith said that she would love for more people to see the video. Gifted-Lea Bartch Mrs. Bartch explained that we have three gifted specialists and she thanked the board for that addition. She said that the second gifted academy cohort will be October 15. They have trained 75 teachers thus far. The Jennings Jones Foundation has been very instrumental in this training. Mrs. Bartch explained the role of the gifted specialists, which includes scheduling, writing, and maintaining IEP’s. They also identify and test students for the gifted program. They are also working on the scholar’s program which will work with gifted students in small groups. They check in on students with social/emotional needs and provide teacher training and support. She said that they want maximum growth for all students. She talked about the four C’s: Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Collaboration. Mrs. Bartch presented a power point. Collier Smith mentioned that she is very pleased that this board and Dr. Gilbert have taken the initiative to beef up gifted services. She asked if the gifted specialists are working directly with students other than just testing. Mrs. Bartch said that they are able to work directly with students because with the third specialist, they are now able to balance their schedules and keep IEP’s on certain days. Ms. Smith asked if children who are excelling in, for example, 4th grade math, can they bump up to 5th grade math. Lea Bartch explained that the content would just be accelerated. She said that they felt that it could create problems for that child if you just bump them up. Their thoughts are to progress the standard, instead of moving them up. Ms. Smith also wanted to know where Discovery School fits in this. Stacey Burt came forward and explained that she will be working with Discovery School. That school chose creativity and depth


complexity as their focus. Ms. Smith also wanted to know if they are targeting specific age groups because she has heard the students say that they get to take a test in 3rd or 4th grade because they are smarter then. Lea Bartch explained that early identification is best. They find the gifted students early and start working with them as soon as possible. They share a lot of strategies and knowledge with special education teachers. David Settles asked if testing was the only form of identification that we use to recognize gifted students. Mrs. Bartch explained that they also use teacher observations and parent referrals if a student is over achieving multiple measures. She said that they have different cognitive tests that are used. Mr. Settles also asked how we are identifying ELL students as gifted. Mrs. Bartch explained that they have a non-verbal test with pictures and puzzles along with the packs that the State gave our system. She has also talked to Vanderbilt to find out which tests to give so that we don’t miss those students Nancy Rainier asked how Discovery School’s enrollment will be affected if more students are identified. Lea Bartch explained that it won’t affect Discovery’s enrollment at all. She said that as openings are available at Discovery School, the students can get in, but since the specialists are working with all schools, all students will be served. Principals consider it a huge compliment when the students feel that their needs are being met at their zoned school and they don’t want to leave. Dr. Gilbert explained that the goal is to have one teacher trained in every grade in every school and the direct services that these ladies are providing. She appreciates the leadership of these ladies. She also very much appreciates the Jennings Jones Foundation and Paul Vaughan’s leadership and their help with this program. Phil King stated that he appreciates what they do in finding a child that has a talent and making them be the best they can be. He asked if they have any evidence, feedback, or stories after they leave our system and move to 7th grade. Is there any evidence that the students benefit from this program? Lea Bartch said that since this is just the first year with three gifted specialists, we can start here and keep track of that. Dr. Gilbert added that she has received letters from teachers that wished that they had had this program earlier to help identify some students that they felt needed help. Mr. Campbell thanked Mrs. Bartch for the presentation and the work they do for the students. Coaches Dr. Gilbert presented a power point on the advantages of having coaches and their responsibilities. She then asked Alisha Herbison and Julie Parrish to come forward. They also presented a power point with highlights and accomplishments of coaches. They focused on modeling, enabling, and guiding teachers and collaboration among the group and with other teachers. They talked about the many hours of training that the coaches have been privileged to have over the past year. Alisha explained that teachers are always asking coaches for professional development to share things with them to help in their classrooms. They raved about 95% program being implemented this year and said that they can already


see amazing improvements with this program. They both feel that one of the most important things in our district is collaboration. This also seems to create unification across our district. Cindy Cliché came forward and introduced her math coaches and presented a power point and told of their accomplishments. Dr. Gilbert asked Mr. Joe Thompson to tell about the experiences he has had with the coaches in his school. Mr. Campbell thanked them all for their presentations. Collier Smith asked how the coaches keep from stepping on toes with an experienced teacher. The coaches explained that they go into classrooms humbly and let them know that they are there to help and they only go in and observe if the teacher asked them to. Julie Parrish explained that they are very accepted and welcomed in the schools. She said that teachers love suggestions from coaches. Mr. Phil King asked if teachers feel like they have done a good job at the end of the day. He feels that coaches are helping teachers see the progress that they have made. Alisha Herbison agreed and explained that they are there to help and support teachers and they have many success stories and many thanks from teachers. Mr. Ballard told the coaches that their enthusiasm was infectious. Dr. Gilbert asked Jon Simmons to come forward and tell of his experience as a math coach. Jon explained how he appreciates the opportunity to be a math coach and to go out and share with other schools. Revenue and Expenditure Gary Anderson reported that there is a $97,000.00 difference down from this time last year. Expenditures are up some this month because three pay days fell in this month, but that balances out as the year goes. Enrollment (PTR) Report Gary Anderson commented on the Enrollment Report by stating that there are an additional twenty two students from the fourteen after Labor Day over last year. We are at 97% on average daily attendance. Mr. Campbell asked about total enrollment, which Mr. Anderson told him was 8455 students. Personnel Report Mr. Campbell asked if we have all academic coaches on board. Dr. Gilbert said that we have all but one at Discovery School. She is working with Kristina Maddux on that. VIII. OTHER BUSINESS Do you want TSBA to facilitate the Director’s Evaluation? The Board decided that they want TSBA to continue facilitating the Director’s evaluation. Dr. Gilbert will get that arranged. Meeting with legislators? Mr. Campbell asked the Board if they would like to meet with legislators at Rutherford County District Office on either December 5th or 12th. Collier Smith said that the more the


board does with legislators, the better. She would also like to see the legislators travel on the bus tour with board members, but she would like that tour at a separate time than the one scheduled for October 21st. The Board was in agreement about meeting with legislators with Rutherford County. The Board Retreat will be held at central office with dinner beginning at 5:00 p.m. each night on September 28 and 29. David Settles asked if anyone had heard anything about a liaison from the city council to sit in on board meetings, but no one had heard anything. Mr. Campbell said that the mayor would decide that. Phil King mentioned that a lot of what we heard tonight was on a show on NPS Television. He watches a 2-hour program entitled The School of the Future that focuses on teaching to the whole child and introducing science engineering early like we do with Lego Robotics. He said we are the school of the future. IX. ADJOURNMENT Jared Barrett made the motion to adjourn, Phil King seconded. All approved by saying aye. The meeting was adjourned at 8:17 p.m. ____________________________________ Director of Schools


BOARD RETREAT MINUTES Murfreesboro City School Board

5:30 p.m., Wednesday, September 28, 2016 Murfreesboro City Schools Administrative Offices

ATTENDANCE: Chair Butch Campbell, Vice Chair Nancy Rainier, Jared Barrett, Phil King, Collier Smith, Wesley Ballard, and David Settles Staff: Dr. Linda Gilbert, Ralph Ringstaff, Lisa Trail, Joe Marlin, Kristina Maddox, Don Bartch, Staff Attorney Kelley Baker and Councilwoman Madelyn Scales-Harris I. CALL TO ORDER BY BOARD CHAIR Gary Anderson is out due to a family emergency, so the agenda will change slightly. II. INSURANCE Ralph Ringstaff told the Board that he is going to all schools over the next few weeks to explain that in June or July we were told by the State that we could not offer Gap insurance. We have 900 employees on insurance, 600 took the gap insurance. It is a lower cost insurance, and it appears that the State wants employees to take the higher price insurance. The limited PPO and consumer driven went up 22 %. As of January 2017, there is no gap insurance. The State will not issue user names and passwords anymore for employees. They want employees to call them to get that information. The employees have to go online to make changes. Nancy Rainier asked Mr. Ringstaff if it would help if the board called the state and fussed. Mr. Ringstaff said that Dr. Gilbert is going to contact them. Nancy Rainier told Mr. Ringstaff to send her the contact information if they need to contact state. Oct 3-Oct 28 are the dates of open enrollment to make any changes to insurance. Mr. Ringstaff suspects that most will go to the partnership, but will have to do a health assessment and have a health coach. Mr. Ringstaff gave board members a handout on the cost differences in the insurance plans. There was some discussion about the different kinds of insurance. Nancy Rainier asked how teachers are accepting this information and price increases. Mr. Ringstaff said that they have been fine with it, but he explained that Dr. Gilbert, Gary, and he worked on this for weeks to help keep the Partnership PPO rates as low as possible. They came up with a way to drop the portion of the Partnership PPO rates that teachers will have to pay from 100 dollars to 50 dollars. Nancy Rainier asked why the city does not include us in their insurance plan, but Mr. Ringstaff said that if you leave the state plan, it has to be comparable or better, and the city’s insurance is not better. Butch Campbell asked why and how the state has such a hold on us. Dr. Gilbert said that there should be a teacher and superintendent or a teacher and school board member on the insurance committee. There need to be major discussions with TEA and the Department of Insurance. Mr. Campbell asked how our local legislators feel. Dr. Gilbert said that she doesn’t know how they feel, but hopes they will listen when she approaches them. Nancy Rainier asked if incentives


are still given to employees if they do not take insurance offered by the district. Mr. Ringstaff said that if an employee, hired after July 1, 2004, refuses insurance, they get $1500 a year extra on their check. Phil King asked if the spouse has insurance, can the teacher take it, and Mr. Ringstaff said yes. Teachers are comfortable with the changes. Wesley Ballard asked if we are going with the Partnership PPO and Ralph said that we will offer all of them, and employees can choose. Dr. Gilbert is going to talk to someone about us not getting log-ins for teachers. She wants us to be able to help them get logged in. Dr. Gilbert said that she will be asking for more money to put in the budget in July for insurance. III. PERSONNEL-RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION Mr. Ringstaff explained to the board that we hope to recruit and retain the best of the best staff. Right now, ESL and special ed teachers are the hardest to find. We came up with a system for recruiting that is on-line. Principals have access to this program. Mr. Ringstaff’s department sent recruitment requests out to all colleges in Tennessee, Kentucky, and surrounding states. We requested a 10 minute video of the applicant teaching. Mr. Ringstaff and Sheri Arnette do a lot of the prescreening work for principals. We have a yearly job fair at Scales and have about 120 to 130 people to attend. We usually have some contracts signed at the job fair. We have more teachers this year with experience than ever before. We had over 1200 applications and hired approximately 83 people this school year. Even though we hire the best of the best, we also want to keep the irreplacables. This year we have a Leadership Academy with 25 employees involved. We will soon be offering an Aspiring Administrator Academy in November. In the future it looks like we’ll have a teacher shortage. UT Knoxville had 50 graduating in PreK-6 education this year. We will need to keep salaries and benefits competitive. Nancy Rainier said that the reason that she wanted to discuss this is because she had a list of 30 people leaving and 12 retirees. She wondered why they are leaving. Lots of teachers seem to be looking for other places to go. She was wondering what is going on. Dr. Gilbert said that wants to keep excellent teachers but not the ones who aren’t so excellent. We have talked to principals about looking at their teachers and making sure that we keep the best ones. There is nothing that will bring other teachers down like a teacher that is a 2, and not doing a good job when others are working so hard. What Dr. Gilbert is hearing is that the really effective teachers are not miserable, but the non-effective ones are. Human Capital report is what she gave to the board. She wants to look at that deeper. We are seeing more positive attitudes like they saw at the board meeting last night from coaches and gifted teams. If we are going to get the scores that we need, we have to hire teachers that will score 4’s and 5’s. Sheri has been requested to go out and co-score with some principals to make sure they are giving a fair score. We are retaining good teachers. Principals will be looking at the ones that we are losing and why. Mr. Campbell said that rumors can kill things very quickly and we have to weigh both sides. Sometimes teachers may not do so well the first year, etc., but may need to be given a second chance. We have to rely on principals and people in the buildings to make decisions. Don Bartch talked about how Dr. Gilbert works with him on teachers that may have a yellow flag. We probably don’t have to go three years to know if the teacher is effective or not; however, there may be all kinds of reasons why a teacher is ineffective. Kristina Maddux also spoke on how central office supports her. Ms. Maddux said that she has data on teachers, and she is supported on the decisions she makes. Mr. Campbell said that he was not saying that Dr.


Gilbert doesn’t support administrators on their decisions. He said that in years past, that was the case. Mr. Ringstaff said that in order to dismiss a teacher with tenure, we have to bring up charges to the school board. We have done everything we can to help that teacher before it gets to that point. It is a 2 year process. We continue to help them. Don Bartch said that virtual interviews are very beneficial in finding good teachers more quickly than we did in the past. He said that it’s such a big difference to hire early! Phil King asked if we do exit interviews on teachers that are leaving. He has friends that have left teaching but he wondered why so many seem to be leaving the profession. Nancy Rainier said that she feels that it’s the requirements from the State. Dr. Gilbert said that there are a lot of changes from the State, but she tries to keep everyone informed with www (an email that she sends out on Wednesdays of each week explaining things that affect educators and our system). Mr. Campbell said that Mr. Ballard asked about comparing us to other counties and referred to a chart that Dr. Gilbert created on that. Dr. Gilbert says that she is hearing that teachers are saying that they have support and they can focus on the whole child. She said that as long as they feel they have support, they will come here to work. David Settles said that he just hopes that we keep records of why they leave. Mr. Joe Marlin said that they are looking at ways to support teachers as far as not having PD here during the school day and bringing in new initiatives so often. He said that we don’t want to bring in new programs every year and then do away with them after teachers have spent time to learn them. Supervisors want to be conscious of the impact that our decisions have on teachers. We are working on that at the district level and how we can be more considerate of teachers. There is also an emphasis on attendance that we will be working with parents on. He said that it is difficult on teachers for children to be absent and for teachers to have to try to keep them caught up. Collier Smith said that it’s a whole circle. There seem to be day to day changes in instruction. Teachers are constantly having to learn new things. She spoke with a teacher today that said that they are learning new things every year, and then it’s gone the next year. It’s more to a teacher than just the data. Joe Marlin said that Kim Frank wrote a grant that has services that will help teachers. Madelyn Scales-Harris asked what kind of system we have for teachers to vent. Kristina Maddux said that they have mentors and coaches to vent to. Ms. Harris would like to see an anonymous way for teachers to vent like a mailbox or something where they can put it. Mr. Campbell said that teachers can come to board members to voice their concerns. Ms. Harris suggested a mailbox in a general location so that no one will even know what school it came from. Dr. Gilbert said that it is the principal’s responsibility to know what is going on in their building. She would want to be very careful with this not wanting to cut the principals legs out from under them. She wants a solid relationship between teachers and principals so that teachers can feel like they can talk. Wes Ballard feels that we may need an independent employee survey so that they can be honest. Nancy Rainier said that the board had thought about that before. Collier Smith said that she thinks that we need a professional company come in and do that. Wes Ballard offered it as suggestion. It would need to be totally anonymous. Dr. Gilbert would like it to be broken down by school. Phil King said that the professional service would help us. He would also like to see us keep the TOY ceremony and retirement dinners. He even suggested that if they have a City Schools Foundation dinner, possibly board members could take the teachers that


were 2nd and 3rd Teacher of the Year as a guest. He was just thinking of doing something different. What do we already do that we can improve? Jared Barrett said that he is all for the climate survey but maybe budget for it next year. Dr. Gilbert said that there is also a student survey. IV. CALENDAR Dr. Gilbert said that as far as our calendar, we pretty much follow the county except two snow days and two PD days. We just have two days that are parent teacher conferences. Principals have the flexibility to decide on those days. PLC (professional learning communities) days are half days. Grade levels come together and look at where they are and where their students are and plan instruction on those days. The other thing that has worked well for our system is that we take two snow days at the beginning of the year for professional development. Every school district in Tennessee goes 30 minutes extra than we are required so that we can stockpile. Mr. Ballard asked when is the calendar set, and Dr. Gilbert said that she will start looking at that over the next month. Wes Ballard asked why there were two start times for schools, and Dr. Gilbert explained that it was because of bussing. V. SAFETY Dr. Gilbert explained that safety plans are not shared with the Board. They were developed in 2010 and have been tweaked since then. We do what Murfreesboro Police Department tells us to. We have plans for bombs, shooters, etc. Principals know these plans. People know where they are supposed to be to keep kids and employees safe. We work closely with police and will do what they say. Mr. Ballard asked if there was something that they could do, what would it be? Dr. Gilbert said that she would like to see a police officer in every school. We are also looking at a system that would have visitors check into the school and immediately the school would be notified if they were sex offenders. Ms. Madelyn Harris asked how many schools have police officers. Dr. Gilbert explained that we have six officers that go between two schools. Ms. Smith said that we have done a lot in the form of safety with doors locked, cameras at the front door, etc. Kelley Baker said that the officers use our parking lots to sit and write reports so that they are visible. Mr. Campbell said that they also do trainings at our schools. Our officers are approachable in collared shirts as per Kelley Baker. VI. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Campbell informed the Board that he had spoken with Rutherford County about meeting with legislators on Dec 5th or 12th, but they haven’t developed an agenda yet. Dr. Gilbert said that funding for city/county needs to be addressed with them. Collier Smith said that she doesn’t want to share the bus tour with legislators because she wants the bus tour to focus on schools.


Nancy Rainier mentioned the rules for board members. She talked about money that was set aside for travel, etc., and the fact that we need to be careful with that. She also mentioned that we use a lot of acronyms and if there was anything that the new members were confused about, they should ask questions. Mr. Campbell said don’t hesitate to ask the questions. Wes Ballard suggested that in the board meetings we need to remember that people watching on television may not understand the acronyms either. Madelyn Scales-Harris said that she would like to see Dr. Gilbert come to the council meetings to give an update on the system a couple of times a year. Dr. Gilbert explained that she and Gary Anderson already meet with someone on the city council the first Friday of every month. VII. ADJOURNMENT The Board Retreat adjourned at 8:15 p.m. and will reconvene at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 29. ____________________________________ Director of Schools


BOARD RETREAT MINUTES Murfreesboro City School Board

5:30 p.m., Thursday, September 29, 2016 Murfreesboro City Schools Administrative Offices

ATTENDANCE: Chair Butch Campbell, Vice Chair Nancy Rainier, Phil King, David Settles, Jared Barrett, Wesley Ballard, Collier Smith came in at 7:10 p.m. Staff: Jenny Ortiz, Dr. Gene Loyd, Dr. Linda Gilbert, Gary Anderson, Joe Marlin, Ralph Ringstaff, Kristina Maddux Assistant City Attorney Kelley Baker and Councilwoman Madelyn Scales-Harris I. CALL TO ORDER BY BOARD CHAIR Mr. Campbell mentioned that he had a good conversation with Jim Tracy today. They discussed insurance. He said that he should have asked about vouchers. Mr. Ballard asked: How does the insurance apply to the retirees? Ralph Ringstaff explained that once they retire, the State pays 45% of the premium. II. SOCIAL MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS

Lisa Trail discussed social media and communications with the Board. She wanted to make sure that they were all signed up to receive Peach Jar announcements. She explained that we send out flyers that way. David Settles said that he wasn’t sure he was getting them. Lisa will check his account. She said that we have websites and webmasters at all schools. Kevin Jones is our webmaster for the district. We use Vimeo for videos. We use Twitter, not only for the district, but also for each school. We have a Linked In account. We use city TV, WGNS (Dr. Gilbert and Lisa Trail have a monthly show). Discussed whether or not the Board wanted our office to set up a Facebook account since it is in the board policy that we can use it. Dr. Gilbert asked if they had any concerns about it. She said that most PTA’s have it. Business people said that we may be missing some opportunities since most everyone these days has a Facebook account. Lisa Trail and Essence Brisco will monitor it. Meltwater is also a monitoring system we use. David Settles said that if it’s an organization or group, people can only like it. We will set it up as a government agency and it would only have likes. People can make comments, but we can monitor and take comments down. David Settles also mentioned that he didn’t understand why the Board received handouts and the same material was on the screen in front of them in the Council Chambers. Dr. Gilbert said that the screens had only recently become available, so we won’t do handouts anymore. Jared Barrett asked if individual schools would have a Facebook page and Lisa said yes, we will leave it up to the schools to set up and maintain their own page. Kelley Baker asked if the information will be on the website in case some families don’t do social media. Lisa Trail said yes. Nancy Rainier asked what Hometown Huddle


is. Lisa Trail explained that it is a day when United Way works with businesses to adopt playgrounds across the district for cleaning, painting, etc. III. FINANCE Gary Anderson explained that there are only three districts in the state that are configured for prek-6. We are the 26th largest out of 146 districts in the state. He handed out a chart of enrollment for each district in Tennessee. Mr. Anderson explained the Basic Education Program and Funding Program (BEP). He gave board members a handout called the BEP bluebook. This is what the state has defined as how much funding we need to run a school system. This is how we get our state funds. The State says BEP is fully funded, but actually it is not. It originated in 1992, and formulas haven’t changed since then. There are things that we have to do but the state has provided no funds for it. When the state said that they were going to give us 11th month insurance, some school systems lost money. Now they say that they are giving us 12th month, but now the insurance increases. Title is a separate funding budget. TN BEP Bluebook-Mr. Anderson gave a handout and explained pupil teacher ratio. He said that special ed has its own ratio. This is how the state funds. They say they fund at 70%. Wes Ballard asked if we have one art teacher for 525 students (like the BEP handout shows). Dr. Gilbert said that we have one per school, mainly because of scheduling. Mr. Anderson explained that BEP is a funding formula not a spending plan. Mr. Campbell said assistant principals are funded from the state based on our total enrollment. Gary Anderson said that Mitchell Neilson is two schools but considered one, so we have two assistant principals. Nurses-BEP funds 1 to 3000 students. We have a nurse in every school. State’s average teacher salary this year is $44,000, two years ago our average teacher salary was $49,000. Mr. Campbell asked if we are better than average on support personnel salaries. Mr. Anderson said that we are close on all of those positions. Mr. Anderson gave the Board a handout from Chuck Cagle. He explained where the money comes from for education. We get a percentage of property tax and sales tax. We are right around 15%. Mr. Ballard asked if we split that with the county. Mr. Anderson said yes we do. There are three forms of schools in TN-county, city, and a special school district. They all get different kinds of monies. They get county and city funds. Franklin Special is the one district that is over funded because they determine their tax rate. They have $4000 more per student than any school in TN. We have county and city taxes contributing to us. BEP sends us information in July showing what funds they are going to give us. It’s based on property values, business makeup, and how much the community can contribute to the school system. Mr. Campbell stated the BEP requires us to have the positions but they fund us at $11,000 less than the position. Mr. Anderson said that we have to watch enrollment daily at the beginning to make sure that we don’t have too many teachers. We have 396 regular ed teachers, 252 K-3 teachers, and 144 4-6 teachers. We have 7872 regular ed students, 160 special ed students, and more CDC students. Mr. Anderson also explained that the BEP bluebook says that it pays insurance for every teacher but it does not even fund us for enough teachers. The state requires us to have an RN to watch over the LPN’s and we have two RN’s.


Gary Anderson handed out the new state salary schedule. It showed what the state pays teachers for years 1-15. The State doesn’t differentiate between the levels of graduate degrees. David Settles wanted clarification. A lot of systems moved toward differentiated pay. Mr. Anderson explained raises and steps in teacher’s pay. The state stops at 15 years for steps and we go to 25. He then handed out the average salary for all counties in TN. Mr. Anderson also handed out the enrollment report. David Settles asked when does the enrollment level off? Mr. Anderson said that it doesn’t really ever level off. We budgeted for an increase of 300 students, but didn’t hire teachers for that, so we are alright. Mr. Settles asked if we get money based on what is forecast for us or what we really have. Mr. Anderson said that it is based on what we actually have. The growth money doesn’t come until the end of the year but we are serving those children right now. We receive two increments, one in January and one in July. Virtual schools get funds, but those kids are at home. They come to us so far behind. Mr. Anderson gave enrollment history dating back to 1988. We have grown 4289 students since 1988. Mr. Anderson also gave a report on how many of our students live in an apartment complex per school. Gary Anderson handed out information on how much it costs to transport students from Discovery School in the afternoon ($60,000). In the mornings, we pick up at different school sites and take those students to Discovery School; however in the afternoon, we deliver students of about 50 families to their homes. There was discussion from the Board and from attending principals about out-of-zone students at other schools and what transportation practices are. It was the consensus of the Board that additional discussions need to be held regarding transportation and choice/magnet schools. IV. ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Gary Anderson discussed energy usage for MCS. He showed the group the live data. He also showed a comparison chart based on the school size and the energy savings per school. We are running 5.3% better than last year. Wes Ballard asked if we have plans to do make all schools energy efficient. Mr. Anderson said yes, but we don’t have a target date as of yet. The Board was impressed with the live data and Nancy Rainier said that the credit needs to go to Gary Anderson for spearheading this. V. LEGISLATIVE ISSUES Dr. Gilbert went over instruction time for each grade. She gave the Board a handout with that information. Music, art, library, and PE are special areas and are 45 minutes a day (3.75 hours per week). Teachers use this time to do planning. They are required to have 2.5 hours a week for planning. We moved lunch to 35 minutes a day. Dr. Gilbert explained that there is a new physical activity law. We can count part of our PE in that. But that still leaves us 15 min that we have to add in. We have 420 minutes in a day. We are already out of time in 2nd grade. Legislators cannot continue to add time to the school day. We are not having time for science and social studies, but will be tested on those two areas. Mr. Joe Marlin said that students that have to go to intervention for special ed only have 30 minutes, and that’s not enough time. The difference between unstructured physical activity and recess is that during recess, students do what they want, and in unstructured physical activity, students can do what they want, but it has to be physical activity. Collier Smith asked if the time schedule for math at 75 minutes always been in place. Kristina Maddux said that it’s not just sitting at a desk but very much active. The standards and tests have changed so we had to add time to math. Phil King asked what is enough? What is too much? Jenny Ortiz has never heard anyone say it’s too much time. Dr. Gilbert said that it’s hard when you are told how much time is needed. Ms. Maddux said that


teachers are asking for more time in reading and math. Phil King asked if we are still teaching cursive. Kristina Maddux said yes, in third grade. David Settles asked how teachers are integrating things in. Dr. Gilbert said that we have such good teachers that they do deep planning to know how to do that. Dr. Gilbert stated that she has a problem with the time being mandated. VI. MASTER PLAN AND GROWTH This will be discussed at a later time. VII. INCREASING ACADEMIC SUCCESS Dr. Gilbert said that Trudy Day did a report on increasing academic success. We will discuss this at a later time. VIII. OTHER BUSINESS SURVEY Mr. Joe Marlin gave the Board a copy of a free student, parent, and teacher survey from the State. He mentioned that maybe we need to think about how we need to administer it. There is a time frame that we’d have to watch. Collier Smith said that she spoke with a friend, Terry Sterling, at Sterling Communications about a survey. She would be able to do a survey for about $2000.00. She thought that was reasonable. We may discuss this again at the October 25th meeting. MEETING WITH LEGISLATORS Mr. Campbell mentioned that the Board will meet at Rutherford County Board of Education on December 5th or 12th with Legislators. IX. ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 8:17 p.m. ____________________________________ Director of Schools
