Addition toAgendaApproved

The President called the Hearing Session to order and called forcomments from visitors.

Mr. Tony Orlich spoke of a speech by George McGovern criticizingPresident Bush’s policy on war.

Visitors’Comments

Mr. Sam Poindexter stated that he had concerns with an item on theagenda; the resolution for non-reelection of emergency, pre-intern, variablewaiver and temporary certificated employees. He asked the Board to pull theitem, as the Association did not believe it was necessary to both lay-off and fireteachers at same time, and had concerns for the future employment of theseteachers. He questioned the legality of taking action on this item along withanother; the resolution for reduction of services of certificated employees. Mr.Poindexter then voiced concerns about the additional item to approve theReading First grant and the inservice of teachers that was tied to the grant.

Dr. Harshman referred to Mr. Poindexter’s concerns for the non-reelection resolution and stated that she was very hopeful nobody would losetheir job; that there were very few districts that did not do this; other districts dothis every year. She clarified that it was not unusual or illegal; that the districthad checked with its attorneys, and it was something that needed to be done topreserve the district’s rights.

Mrs. Binks asked for clarification on the issue regarding the non-reelects.

Mr. Poindexter explained that those employees covered under thisresolution would probably not have much hope for being hired in other districtsdue to the non-reelect on their record. These teachers would be given noopportunity to resign; they would need to explain why they were non-reelected.

Bargaining UnitRepresentatives’Comments

Mrs. Binks expressed her concern for the lack of special educationteachers and questioned why the district would release teachers when there wasa shortage in this area.

Dr. Harshman reiterated that the teachers referred to in the resolutionwere on emergency credentials.

Mr. McClure shared his similar experience with another district duringthe years he was completing his credential and received notices of this type.

Dr. Ruble commented that notice of possible layoff had always beendone with employees funded from categorical programs.

Mr. Darin Brawley, Executive Director of Certificated HumanResources, clarified the differences in References Q and R of the agenda, andstated that the education code was very specific regarding the status ofemployees on emergency credentials, pre-interns, those on variable waivers andtemporary credentialed employees.

There was further debate between Mr. Poindexter and Mr. Brawley as tothe status and rights of the employees referred to in Reference S.

Mr. McClure interjected that the district had an obligation to fill itsclassrooms with fully credentialed teachers.

Mrs. Binks commented that if credentialed teachers were available thedistrict would not have so many working on emergency credentials.

Mr. Brawley stated his belief that if the district were unable to fill any ofthe positions that were vacated due to layoff, he had no doubt these teacherswould not be rehired. He also noted that the district had an obligation toprogress in the area of hiring fully credentialed teachers.

Ms. Mazzolini introduced Mrs. Theresa Barnett, Director of StaffDevelopment, who then explained the purpose of the Reading First Grant, thestipulation of involved teachers to receive 40 hours of inservice in connectionwith the grant, and how this would be provided. Only schools with 100% buy-inof teachers were submitted. Participating teachers would receive a stipend forattending the training; and the training was not mandated by the grant, it wasonly a recommendation.

ResolutionAdopted

On motion made by Ms. Laura Abernathy Mancha, seconded by Mr. GusHawthorn, and carried, the Board adopted a Resolution for Non-Reelection ofCertificated Probationary Employee #8316. (Copy attached to Official Minutes)

ResolutionAdopted

Mr. McClure questioned what would happen if the Resolution for Non-Reelection of Emergency, Pre-Intern, Variable Waiver and TemporaryCertificated employees was not approved, and whether the Resolution forReduction of Services of Certificated Employees covered the same thing.

Mr. Brawley explained the implication for employees if a class sizeincrease were inacted which would displace teachers, the impact of the No ChildLeft Behind Act and its provision to hire fully credentialed teachers, and that notapproving the resolution to non-reelect would establish re-employment rights forteachers on emergency credentials.

Mr. McClure referred to his own past experience as an emergencycredentialed teacher, the obligation as a Board member to protect the districtfiscally, and the need to be prepared.

Dr. Ruble asked that, if the resolution were passed, would it be theobligation of the Board to make sure all of the employees covered by theresolution would have jobs.

Mr. McClure spoke on the agenda item to approve a contract withCalifornia School Boards Association, stating that it had become very clear tothe board members what a responsibility it was to hire a new superintendent, andthat this would be the first time in 20 years that the district had needed toconduct a search.
