Present: Heidi Haas, President Wendy Dominique, Vice President Allyson Lambert, Treasurer Sue Hull, Member Michael O’Brien, Member Sean Rice, Member

Absent: Lisa Gentry, Clerk

Staff Present: Dr. Karen Gaborik, Interim Superintendent of Schools Mike Fisher, Chief Financial Officer Shaun Kraska, Interim Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Instruction Janet Cobb, Executive Director of Technology Johanna Carson, Director of Community and Public Relations Elizabeth Schaffhauser, Director of Employment and Educational Opportunity Helen Clark, Director of Federal Programs Katie Sanders, Director of Library Media Kathy Port, Technology Curriculum Coordinator Sharon Tuttle, Executive Assistant to the Board of Education Dr. Gaborik introduced Lisa Pearce, the district’s new chief financial officer. Ms. Pearce would replace Mike Fisher, who would be retiring at the end of January. 2014-2017 District Technology Plan [0:01:12]

Janet Cobb, executive director of technology, and Kathy Port, technology curriculum coordinator, reviewed the district’s 2014-2017 Technology Plan. The presentation started with a video highlighting how technology within the district had changed through the years. The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District Education Technology Plan was an interactive document that outlined multi-year technology goals developed by a broad range of departments. The technology plan sought to:

describe how the district planned for the effective use and implementation of instructional technology;

provide a multi-year strategic vision of technology in the district that encompassed the school board’s mission, vision, and priorities;

demonstrate forward thinking to maintain agility and flexibility to meet future needs; provide the required information by the Alaska Department of Education; and meet E-rate compliance and the Alaska Department of Education’s Educational Technology

Plan requirements.


2014-2017 District Technology Plan (continued) Mrs. Cobb and Mrs. Port’s presentation showcased how technology was used through instruction; student and parent educational tools; business, payroll, human resources, and communication applications; professional development; safety; facilities management; student assessments; and staff evaluations. The role of technology in schools would continue to grow as assessments moved toward the online environment. Static tests would be replaced by adaptive testing in order to further personalize learning for students. The district continued to be at the forefront within the state in providing innovative and effective use of technology. Technology was an integral part of the district’s day-to-day operations. In addition to the instructional supports it provided, technology also linked schools to the wider community. Parents accessed information via the district website and district mobile app, PowerSchool (the district’s student information system) and individual teacher websites and blogs. Technology challenges facing the district centered on infrastructure and other hardware; staff professional development, updated and working devices, a device replacement plan, and funding. The district had funding for a two-year infrastructure upgrade which would help address some of the infrastructure concerns, but more funding and upgrades were needed. Preparing students for a world rich in technology with the appropriate 21st century skills and knowledge required access to various forms of technology including computers, mobile devices, web-based applications to support curricular goals, and appropriate instruction, including digital citizenship, to navigate in a digital world. The required investment in training and staff development continued to grow and the district was striving to integrate new and innovative technologies into instructional and administrative programs. The increased Internet and network traffic would continue to require greater network bandwidth and sufficient security measures for classrooms and administrative offices. Technology changed and evolved constantly. The district’s technology team met on a regular basis to review technology policies, needs, and concerns. BOARD QUESTIONS/COMMENTS Item for information only. No action required. Board member questions and discussions included technology limitation factors within the district – infrastructure, professional development, and funding; effective use of technology; one-to-one program options; staff and classroom teacher technology support; legislative grant support; digital learning; and technology policies. Board members voiced their support in making certain all students had access to learning whether it was through technology or textbooks. Board members briefly discussed the board’s vision for technology and how it would correlate to the district’s strategic plan, believing it would have a significant role in the plan. Discipline Rubric [0:56:52]

Elizabeth Schaffhauser, director of employment and education opportunity, reviewed the district’s discipline rubric used to help ensure consistent disciplinary consequences. The motivation behind the rubric was input from board members during discipline case reviews and was developed through input from principals and administrative staff. The rubric provided guidance to principals for more serious or repeated offenses outside what was already outlined in the district’s administrative regulations. Mrs. Dominique left at 7:26 p.m.


Discipline Rubric (continued) BOARD QUESTIONS/COMMENTS Item for information only. No action required. Board members raised individual concerns regarding specific discipline issues they recalled from past cases and current parent comments. Other discussion included questions and comments on the definition of deadly weapons, possession and use of weapons, parent and public comment opportunities, and elementary versus secondary offenses and appropriate discipline. Board Comments/Announcements None The meeting adjourned at 7:43 p.m. Submitted by Sharon Tuttle, executive assistant to the Board of Education

Consent Agenda (continued) acknowledged the Board’s Reading File. acknowledged the Coming Events and Meeting Announcements. ADVISORY VOTE. 1 AYE (HOYES) MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY BY ROLL CALL VOTE. 5 AYES (S. RICE, O’BRIEN, HULL, LAMBERT, HAAS) PUBLIC COMMENT ON NONAGENDA ITEMS Carrie Nash, 740 Pelican Way, parent, testified to the issue of students receiving Alaska Performance Scholarship (APS) credit for the Algebra 1.5 course. In the past, students had been told the course would receive APS credit and students in the class of 2014 received APS credit for the course. The course was rigorous and valuable. Ms. Nash encouraged the school board to direct the administration to reconsider their decision and allow course credit in consideration of the Alaska Performance Scholarship. Angelica Ochoa, PO Box 83956, Hutchison High School student, had taken Algebra 1.5 thinking she would receive credit towards the Alaska Performance Scholarship. Students who took the course right beside her who were students in the class of 2014 received APS credit, but students in her class did not. Ms. Ochoa thought the district should grant APS credit to all students who took the course; there should not be different rules for different students. She would like to see the class count towards the Alaska Performance Scholarship. Josiah Nash, 740 Pelican Way, Hutchison High School student, spoke in support of Algebra 1.5 counting towards the Alaska Performance Scholarship. Mr. Nash had taken the course in good faith and believed the course would count towards the Alaska Performance Scholarship. He was never notified the course would not count. He felt it was not fair that students in the class of 2014 received APS credit, but he would not. The course was rigorous and students learned from the course. Other school districts within the state offered APS credit for the same course and so should the Fairbanks district. President Haas clarified the students took the course last year. Mr. Nash stated President Haas was correct. The students testifying took the course alongside students in the class of 2014 who received APS credit, yet they, students in the class of 2015 would not. JeAnn Holliman, PO Box 83918, Hutchison High School special education teacher, read a letter on behalf of Hutchison High School parent, Carolyn Chapin. Ms. Chapin supported the district allowing Alaska Performance Scholarship (APS) credit for Algebra 1.5. The course provided students the opportunity to transition from Algebra 1 to Algebra 2, noting some students may not have made the transition without Algebra 1.5. Ms. Chapin thought it was unethical not to allow APS credit for the course. She asked the board and administration to reconsider and allow Algebra 1.5 credit towards APS. Ms. Chapin also pointed out the Alaska Performance Scholarship would benefit students moving into the technical trades, it was not only for college-bound students. Ms. Holliman also voiced her personal support for the district allowing Algebra 1.5 credit towards the APS. As a teacher, she saw the hardship not allowing APS credit caused. She asked the board and administration to reconsider and allow the course credit towards the APS.


PUBLIC COMMENT ON NONAGENDA ITEMS (continued) Natalie Castro, 725 Ursa Major, North Pole Middle teacher, was one of the coordinators of the school’s McHenryball tournament. The ability to hold the event had been questioned and the board had received some concerns about the event. Ms. Castro explained how the tournament originated in honor of North Pole Middle student, James Walters, who was killed at the beginning of school in 2012. The tournament was originally held in honor of James to raise funds for local charities near and dear to him. The second year of the tournament was held in honor of Robyn Blemke, another North Pole Middle student whose life was lost in an accident. That year, funds were raised in Robyn’s honor and donated to local charities. Fortunately, this year, the event was all about the charities. Ms. Castro pointed out how the tournament was used as a learning opportunity for students. Students researched the charities and worked on the organizational plans and advertising. The event was also an exercise in team building between students and students and staff. Ms. Castro hoped the event would be able to continue. Jenny Long, PO Box 140014, North Pole Middle School teacher and member of the McHenryball planning team, spoke in support of McHenryball. Ms. Long wanted to make it clear McHenryball was not dodgeball; for all negatives of dodgeball, McHenryball was a positive experience. The event involved teachers, support staff, and students and was not part of the physical education curriculum, but rather an extracurricular activity and fundraiser. Ms. Long agreed with the comments by Ms. Castro about the event being a learning opportunity for students – they were working to raise money, researching charities, and working together to create a bond between the school and community. Derek Shuttleworth, 2806 Chief Alexander Drive, North Pole Middle School teacher and co-coordinator of the McHenryball Tournament, echoed the comments of Ms. Castro and Ms. Long in support of the school’s McHenryball Tournament. Before the coverage of the event last week, the school had been asked to share the tournament information with other schools; it wasn’t viewed as something negative. Mr. Shuttleworth was concerned and wondered why the school was now in the position of having to defend the event. He felt McHenryball was one reason students enjoyed showing up for school. There were over 120 students participating. Participation was entirely voluntary, noting it might be the only time some students might ever participate in a sporting event and be part of team. Team work was an important aspect of the event. It helped to connect students to school who might not normally be connected. Mr. Shuttleworth did not believe the tournament was something to be scorned, but rather something to be grown. Jenifer Cameron, PO Box 117, district art coordinator, extended an invitation to board members to attend the Mayor’s Young Artist Reception at the borough building on Monday, November 24, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The artwork of 149 students would be showcased. Dr. Gaborik would be in attendance to help with certificates. Ms. Cameron hoped board members would be able to attend. It was a great event. Kimberly Nelson, PO Box 56717, North Pole High School and Middle School parent, spoke in support of the McHenryball Tournament. The tournament provided contributions in the names and memories of James Walters and Robin Blemke, who were friends of her children. She pointed out how the tournaments held in honor of the lost students helped both the families and the school community deal with the losses. Ms. Nelson felt it would be a disservice to parents and students to discontinue the tournament. She hoped the tournament would continue for years to come. Mrs. Dominique arrived at 7:56 p.m.


OLD BUSINESS Include in the Consent Agenda. NEW BUSINESS Annual Audit Report The school district’s Fiscal Year 2013-14 Financial Statement Audit was complete. Colleen Fitzgerald, director of accounting services, and Kara Moore, partner with Cook & Haugeberg CPAs, reviewed the audit report.


LAMBERT MOVED, HULL SECONDED, TO APPROVE THE FY 2013-14 FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND AUDITOR’S REPORT.

Ms. Fitzgerald and Ms. Moore briefly reviewed the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the period July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. The auditors performed tests of the district’s compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements to attain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements were free of material misstatement. The results of the auditors’ tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that were required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Ms. Moore reported on the school district’s audit for the year ended June 30, 2014. The auditors performed certain test work to attain reasonable assurance the financial statements were free of material misstatement in order to support the auditors’ opinions. In the opinion of the auditors, based on the results of audit procedures performed, the financial statements were presented fairly and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. It was referred to as an unqualified or clean opinion. It was an indication of the high level of financial accountability attained by the district. Once again this year, the district received a Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Association of School Business Officials and a Certificate of Achievement from the Government Finance Officers Association for their Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Ms. Moore reviewed the audit’s prior year deficiencies related to missing W-4s in some personnel files, confirming purchase orders, year-end encumbrances, consistent cash handling procedures at schools across the district, accounts payable validation verification on district checks, and an inventory of the district’s capital equipment. Deficiencies had either been corrected, resolved, or progress was being made. The audit’s current year recommendation addressed p-Card supervisor approvals, but had been corrected with a software update and the auditors considered the issue corrected. PUBLIC COMMENTS None BOARD QUESTIONS/COMMENTS Discussion ensued. Board questions and discussions included how well p-Cards were working, the district’s transition to the new financial system – MUNIS, and progress on the district’s capital equipment inventory. President Haas thanked Ms. Moore and Ms. Fitzgerald for their report. The board appreciated the electronic version of the CAFR document.

LAMBERT MOVED, RICE SECONDED, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 2015-10: APPROVING EFFIE KOKRINE EARLY COLLEGE CHARTER SCHOOL RENEWAL APPLICATION, WITH RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL BY THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Mrs. Lambert read the resolution for the public record. Interim Superintendent Dr. Gaborik stated the administration fully supported the charter renewal and appreciated the changes made by the charter in response to comments and input from the administration and board at the October 20 work session. She personally thanked Joshua Snow, Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School head teacher, for his collaboration and work with the administration. PUBLIC COMMENTS Nancy Schupp, 1953 Kingfisher Drive, an Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School grandparent and guardian, spoke in support of the Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School application. Ms. Schupp felt the charter school filled a need within the community. She had eight family members who were currently and had attended the school. Donald Allmond, 2230 Cowles Street, an Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School parent, spoke in support of renewing the charter school’s charter application. Mr. Allmond’s older son had attended the school when it was the Howard Luke Academy and it had turned his son around. Mr. Allmond’s now had an adopted son attending the charter school and the school had been great for him. He felt the school provided the opportunity for his son to learn about his heritage and things he himself could not teach him. Amelia Topkok, 4783 Drake Street, an Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School parent, really appreciated the charter school and how it helped her son. Both Ms. Topkok and her son liked the smaller class sizes and attention given to students that had helped her son succeed. They were happy he was able to connect with his culture. As a parent, Ms. Topkok really appreciated the school. She hoped her younger son would also choose to attend Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School. Students needed to be able to connect with their culture. Deborah Kokrine, PO Box 55922, an Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School parent, thanked the board for their support for the charter school renewal. Ms. Kokrine had had children in the school since it opened – two had graduated and one was currently attending. She was proud of her daughter who was married and a mom with two children, her son who was attending the Plumbers and Pipefitters school, and her 11th grade son attending the school. Suleymi Juarez, 3720 Hardluck Drive, an Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School senior, felt the school community was like a family. She appreciated teachers staying after school to help her with homework. Ms. Juarez did not like the change in the grade scale; she thought it would not make students work harder. She really enjoyed the charter school.


Resolution 2015-10: Approving Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School Renewal Application (continued) Aaron Lanmon, 1420 Conrad Street, an Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School student, spoke in support of the charter school.

Mr. Lanmon noted there was no bullying at the school and students took care of each other and were there for each other. BOARD QUESTIONS/COMMENTS Discussion ensued. Board members expressed their support and appreciation for the charter school students, staff, and parents who had worked hard over the last 10 years to make Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School successful. Other discussion included the charter school’s “family atmosphere” graduation ceremonies and school culture; how the charter school filled a real need within the community; appreciation for resolving the grading policy concerns; working to increase student achievement; and lower student dropout rates. Mr. Rice appreciated the charter renewal was done during Alaska Native Heritage Month.

She also thanked Dean Gustafson and Octavia Harris with the American Lung Association who were both very helpful and supportive to the committee. Mrs. Hull wanted to reassure the public the policy was not a change in policy for the district, as the expectations were the same; the policy made things clearer. It was quite an achievement to get a Gold Standard policy and Mrs. Hull was grateful to all who helped with the policy revisions.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Dean Gustafson, 529 Sixth Avenue, health educator with the American Lung Association, spoke in support of the comprehensive tobacco policy and the adoption of the Gold Standard Policy. Mr. Gustafson pointed out the negative effects of tobacco and how the tobacco industry targeted young people.

Suspend School Board Policy 321.3: Recruitment and Employment of Superintendent with Intent to Offer a Contract to Interim Superintendent Dr. Karen Gaborik

At the school board’s October 11 work session, the board agreed to research and seek legal counsel regarding the process of appointing Interim Superintendent Dr. Karen Gaborik as Superintendent of Schools for the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District.

PUBLIC COMMENTS John Thies, 305 Juneau Avenue, previous board member, voiced his support for Dr. Gaborik and the board’s decision to appoint her as superintendent. Mr. Thies had worked with Dr. Gaborik in a number of capacities over the years. Dr. Gaborik was a life-long Fairbanksan and her entire educational career had been in Fairbanks. Mr. Thies encouraged the board to appoint Dr. Gaborik. Pauline Bennett-Gannon, 1076 Willow Grouse Road, district staff member, encouraged the board to suspend the policy and appoint Dr. Gaborik as superintendent. Ms. Bennett-Gannon did not believe suspending policies was always the best choice, but there were times when going through a search process would be very expensive in time, money, and resources. Outside searches sometimes brought a fresh perspective, but sometimes it was good to look inside at the resources already available to the district. Dr. Gaborik had lived in Fairbanks for most of her life and did not have to be sold on the community and schools. The community knew Dr. Gaborik. Ms. Bennett-Gannon did not know Dr. Gaborik personally, but she had a student at Lathrop when Dr. Gaborik worked there. Dr. Gaborik continued to learn, as her progression of education proved and she possessed the education and communication skills and commitment necessary for the job. President Haas noted the number of public comments received regarding the input received, both in favor and against the board appointing Dr. Gaborik. There had been more support for the board appointing Dr. Gaborik than conducting a full search. The board had given the community the opportunity to comment. BOARD QUESTIONS/COMMENTS Discussion ensued.


Suspend School Board Policy 321.3: Recruitment and Employment of Superintendent with Intent to Offer a Contract to Interim Superintendent Dr. Karen Gaborik (continued) Board members debated the pros and cons of appointing Dr. Gaborik versus conducting a full search. President Haas, Mrs. Dominique, Mrs. Lambert, Mrs. Hull, and Mr. Rice spoke mostly in favor of appointing Dr. Gaborik as Superintendent of Schools. Comments in favor stressed Dr. Gaborik’s knowledge, education, communication skills, Fairbanks roots, and the opportunity for the continuity of district leadership, which the district needed. Mr. O’Brien noted he was already on record as not supporting the board suspending the rules to appoint a superintendent, but stated it had nothing to do with Dr. Gaborik personally. His comments against a direct appointment focused on the benefits of a full search that would allow for a full vetting of candidates and their opinions on various educational issues, as well as provide the community the opportunity to meet Dr. Gaborik and any other candidates. He thought a full search would help address any doubt regarding the events that took place over the spring. Mr. O’Brien stated the board owed it to Dr. Gaborik to dissipate the cloud of suspicion surrounding the events that took place over the spring. President Haas, Mrs. Dominique, Mrs. Lambert, Mrs. Hull, and Mr. Rice, all board members involved in the investigations last spring and having done their due diligence, voiced their full support for Dr. Gaborik and had every confidence that she was not involved in any wrongdoing. Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Lambert expressed interest that the decision regarding the superintendent should be postponed to the December 2 Regular Meeting to allow the public adequate opportunity to participate in the process. Mr. O’Brien also supported postponing the decision until the next meeting, allowing people more time to provide additional input. It could also provide Dr. Gaborik an opportunity to answer questions or to schedule a process for Dr. Gaborik to address any concerns. President Haas, Mrs. Dominique, and Mr. Rice went on record supporting the board immediately appointing Dr. Gaborik and beginning contract negotiations. They felt the board had provided adequate notice and opportunity for public participation and input and nothing would be gained by delaying the decision. Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Lambert voiced support for Dr. Gaborik but felt there would be no harm in postponing the board’s action to the next meeting to allow two additional weeks of input. Mr. O’Brien supported the board conducting a search for the reasons stated previously; he also supported postponing the board’s action until the next meeting. At 9:48 p.m.:

DOMINIQUE MOVED, HULL SECONDED, TO SUSPEND THE RULES AND CONTINUE THE MEETING TO 11:00 P.M.

Asking for and hearing no objections, President Haas continued the meeting.

HULL MOVED, LAMBERT SECONDED, TO POSTPONE THE MOTION TO SUSPEND POLICY 321.3: RECRUITMENT AND EMPLOYMENT OF SUPERINTENDENT TO APPOINT AND NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT WITH DR. KAREN GABORIK AS SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS FOR THE FAIRBANKS NORTH STAR BOROUGH SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE DECEMBER 2, 2014 REGULAR MEETING.

The board voted on the motion to postpone.


Suspend School Board Policy 321.3: Recruitment and Employment of Superintendent with Intent to Offer a Contract to Interim Superintendent Dr. Karen Gaborik (continued) ADVISORY VOTE. 1 AYE (HOYES) MOTION FAILED BY ROLL CALL VOTE. 3 NAYS: DOMINIQUE, S. RICE, HAAS 3 AYES: LAMBERT, O’BRIEN, HULL The board voted on the main motion. ADVISORY VOTE. 1 AYE (HOYES) MOTION CARRIED BY ROLL CALL VOTE. 5 AYES: LAMBERT, DOMINIQUE, S. RICE, HULL, HAAS 1 NAY: O’BRIEN President Haas stated the contract would come forward for a vote before the board at a future meeting. Mrs. Hull suggested the president negotiate the contract and bring it back to the board for approval. Hearing no objection, President Haas would work with Dr. Gaborik to negotiate a contract. At 9:52 the board recessed for a short break. The board reconvened at 9:56 p.m. INFORMATION AND REPORTS Superintendent Update: Full-Day Kindergarten & Other Topics Board Priority: Student learning is at the center of everything we do. Dr. Gaborik thanked the board for their support in naming her superintendent. Dr. Gaborik provided an update on the topic of full-day kindergarten, along with updates on other administrative topics. She reviewed the costs of providing full-day kindergarten. The largest expense for implementation would involve the increase in staffing from current part-time kindergarten aides to full-time aides to support each kindergarten classroom. Full-time aides were not a requirement, but had been discussed. Transportation costs would be minimal. For the most part, it would just mean additional stops for the buses. Other concerns included the cost of furniture, availability of space at a few schools, and student attention. The overall costs, including full-time aides, would be approximately $5,939,960. BOARD QUESTIONS/COMMENTS Board comments and discussion ensued. President Haas noted the information was provided at the board’s request prior to their work beginning on the budget. The board would not be providing direction or making a decision at the current time. Board member questions and remarks included surveying teachers, principals, and parents; class size; sustainability of programs and student learning; launching pilots at specific schools versus a full district rollout; and alternative learning environments such as elemiddle/magnet/charter schools. The board debated the benefit of full-day versus extended day programs and aide support. President Haas noted the board would be holding a work session on December 1, 2014 obtain information and discuss the elemiddle concept and magnet schools. President Haas recommended board members send any specific questions regarding the topics to the administration.


Superintendent Update: Full-Day Kindergarten & Other Topics (continued) PUBLIC COMMENTS From the audience, Tammy Smith, 2118 South Cushman Street, FEA president, voiced her support for full-day kindergarten. Dr. Gaborik pointed out the board would not need to make a recommendation on full-day kindergarten until budget time, allowing time to obtain additional information and data. Other updates from Dr. Gaborik: Alegbra 1.5: Dr. Gaborik stated work on the Algebra 1.5 was still being discussed. Information would be forthcoming.

Mrs. Hull stated it was important that students were treated fairly. If there was inadequate information conveyed to students and parents, the district needed to take that into consideration.

Mr. O’Brien stated his concerns had nothing to do with the content of the course, but rather the conversation and communication of the issue.

McHenryball Tournament: Dr. Gaborik stated Risk Management was reviewing the McHenryball Tournament to determine if the district could meet the risk concerns and conduct the tournament. Official Enrollment Report Mike Fisher, chief financial officer, provided an update on the official enrollment for 2014-15.


Mr. Fisher stated October 24 was the last day of the official Average Daily Membership (ADM) enrollment count. The district had ten days to submit the district’s official enrollment, along with next year’s projected enrollment. The district’s 2014-15 20-Day ADM Count was 13,765 students, down approximately 271 from projections. Enrollment numbers were down mostly in the elementary primary and middle school grades, with higher impacts at the military schools. Next year’s enrollment was projected to be 13,660 which was down by approximately 105 students from the count that just ended. PUBLIC COMMENTS None BOARD QUESTIONS/COMMENTS None Strategic Plan Process Update President Haas provided a brief update on the board’s strategic planning process.


One of the main questions regarding the strategic plan was if the board desired to include an online community survey. The company the board was considering to facilitate the strategic plan was OnStrategy. If the board moved forward with the company, the firm would have representatives in the state for another school district in February and would be available to meet with the Fairbanks board regarding the strategic plan on February 7, 2015. President Haas pointed out the date conflicted with AASB Leadership/Legislative Fly-in, but believed the district should take advantage of the company already being in the state, which would help with travel expenses.


Strategic Plan Process Update (continued) Mr. Hoyes left at 10:26 p.m. PUBLIC COMMENTS None BOARD QUESTIONS/COMMENTS Mrs. Hull believed arrangements could be made to work around the conflict of the meeting and the AASB fly-in. She supported the community survey. Mrs. Dominique would not be available for the meeting as she would be out of state for her mother’s 80th birthday celebration. President Haas asked if there was any opposition to finalizing the contract with OnStrategy to include an online community survey and a meeting with the board and OnStrategy on February 7, 2015. Hearing no objection, President Haas would work with OnStrategy to get the process started. Mrs. Hull asked that information on any additional board meeting dates be made available as soon as possible for calendaring purposes. BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT COMMENTS & COMMITTEE REPORTS On behalf of the entire board, President Haas thanked the Young Native Fiddlers for their wonderful performance, congratulated the Kids Voting contest winners, and welcomed the new human resources personnel. She also congratulated Crawford Elementary on their National Blue Ribbon School award. The board would be holding a special meeting on Monday, November 24 at noon for an update on the investigation and case against the district. The Mayor’s Art Reception for Young Artists was scheduled for Monday evening at 5:30 p.m. Mr. Rice announced the Board Curriculum Advisory Committee would meet on Thursday, December 4 at 5:20 p.m. He was pleased the board approved the charter renewal application for Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School. He really appreciated Effie’s large diverse student population and “family” culture. Mrs. Hull reported on the recent Association of Alaska School Boards (AASB) Annual Conference. There were many great learning opportunities and valuable information provided. She thanked the board for their nomination to the AASB board of directors; she was elected for another term. Mrs. Hull had also been elected chair for the National School Boards Association (NSBA) Pacific Region. Mrs. Hull thanked the district’s many excellent educators. She had heard so many great things about district teachers and staff at a recent PTA brunch. Mrs. Hull thanked everyone who gave so much for kids and often went the extra mile for them. She congratulated Crawford Elementary on their National Blue Ribbon School award and encouraged other schools to also apply for the award. Mrs. Lambert announced the Citizen Budget Review Committee would meet on December 3, 2014 at 5:30 p.m. in the board room. The committee would receive an overview of the budget. The meeting was open to the public and everyone was encouraged to attend. Mrs. Lambert added her congratulations to Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School; the school provided a great service to the community. She noted the improvement in student achievement as the school had moved from a two star to three star school. Mrs. Lambert congratulated Dr. Gaborik and was happy to see the continuity in the district’s leadership.


BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT COMMENTS & COMMITTEE REPORTS (continued) Mrs. Dominique echoed Mrs. Hull’s comments about the great teachers and staff within the district. She witnessed the great things happening in classrooms firsthand through her grandson’s classes. She also agreed with Mrs. Hull that more schools should apply for more awards. Mrs. Dominique shared a conversation she had had with a parent about programs available to students. An important aspect of parent engagement and getting and keeping parents involved was accurate and consistent communication and informing parents about programs available for studentss. Mrs. Dominique congratulated Dr. Gaborik and felt with her in charge, the district would be moving in a great direction. She committed on Effie Kokrine Charter School’s remarkable progress over the past ten years.

Mr. O’Brien thanked Yatibaey Evans for the board’s invitation to Alaska Native Education Heritage Celebration. He thought it was great to see district students participating in the community food bank bread baking drive. He thanked Katie Sanders, library media director, for the tour of the library media services department. The department had an amazing lending library and many amazing kits. Mr. O’Brien encouraged other management team members to reach out to him regarding tours and informational meetings about their departments; he would love to learn more about the different departments and programs in the district.

Dr. Gaborik announced the state would have a news release the next day announcing Salcha Elementary had won first place in the Alaska Play Every Day video contest. She congratulated the school on their award. The board would recognize the award at an upcoming meeting. Dr. Gaborik echoed Mr. O’Brien’s comments regarding district students baking bread for the food bank. She had also attended Crawford Elementary School’s celebration on their National Blue Ribbon School award with President Haas. The celebration was awesome. Dr. Gaborik congratulated Ruth Segler as one of two runner-ups for the Alaska Teacher of the Year.

Other announcements:

parent input on teacher evaluations was being accepted; flu shot clinic would be held at Joy Elementary on Wednesday; and Mr. Norum and Mr. Morris were scheduled for the Charlie O’Toole radio show on Friday.

President Haas spoke to the AASB conference. As Mrs. Hull had stated, there were some great breakout sessions; she especially enjoyed the board president round table and the resolutions process. One of the presentations she found very informative focused on how each board member filled a different role on the board. Each board member came from a different background and each brought an expertise to the board. Board members did not always agree on topics, but they needed to work together.

President Haas announced Jennifer Schmidt had resigned as co-chair on the Parent Engagement Task Force due to family matters. President Haas had been in contact with Mr. Bailey, the other co-chair, and hoped to have information to bring forward after the first of the year. President Haas expressed her support for McHenryball; it was a great learning experience for students. She hoped the district and borough would be able to work out the safety concerns; there could be risk in almost anything.

President Haas congratulated Dr. Gaborik on her appointment as superintendent. She had led the district for the last seven months with dignity and professionalism.

President Haas believed the inclement weather/school closing/delayed start information would be posted online. With the weather changing, she encouraged people to go to the website for information. She thanked everyone for their public testimony, especially the students.

The meeting adjourned at 10:52 p.m.

Class Size Report

Elementary and Secondary Schools

Fall 2014

Prepared by:

Kathy Hughes, Executive Director

Alternative Instruction & Accountability

December 2, 2014

TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary ......................................................................................................... ii Elementary Schools ..........................................................................................................1 Middle Schools ..........................................................................................................2 High Schools ..........................................................................................................4 Charter Schools ..........................................................................................................5 Appendix A – Individual Elementary School Enrollments Appendix B – Individual Secondary School Enrollments

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of the annual class size report is to provide information on the number of

students in individual classrooms and the average class sizes in schools and the district. This

report presents the average number of students enrolled in elementary, middle, and high school

classes in the fall semester. Appendix A presents individual elementary school enrollments in

regular classes. Appendix B presents enrollment data for each period of the day in middle and

high schools.

Notable Facts:

Class sizes are important for making staffing adjustments as enrollments fluctuate within

schools and across the district. The school district makes every attempt to keep class sizes as

low as funding will allow. This report does not present total enrollment figures, but rather the

average class size for regular education classrooms. It is important to note that the actual size

of individual classes may vary considerably. Class size averages in this report are based on

enrollment data extracted from the district’s student records system on October 1, 2014.

What is Being Measured:

For the purpose of this report, class size is measured as the number of students instructed

by a teacher during a period. Class size averages for each school are derived by dividing the

number of students enrolled in regular classes by the number of regular classes. In elementary

schools, students generally remain together in the same class with the same teacher throughout

the day. Therefore, a single number represents the class size for each elementary teacher, by

grade level. In secondary schools, class sizes vary from period to period. Average class sizes

do not include students enrolled in preschool programs, self-contained special education

classes, English Language Learner (ELL) classes, charter schools, alternative programs (such

as SMART or Golden Heart Academy), or advisory periods. Where comparable statistics are

available, historical data for the previous five years are provided.

What the Results Show:

Class size data for 2014 shows:

7,051 K-6 students in elementary schools, with an average class size of 23.3

1,692 students in middle and junior high schools, with an average class size of 22.6

3,480 students in high schools, with an average class size of 23.5

ii

Class Size Report Fall 2014 Page 1

ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

At the elementary schools, the average class size on October 1, 2014 was 23.3 students.

This calculation is based on 303 regular education classrooms with a total enrollment of 7,051

students (see Table 1). All elementary school class size averages include students who are

integrated into the regular education classroom for at least a portion of the academic day. These

averages do not reflect students enrolled in preschool programs or self-contained special

education classes.

Individual school averages vary, ranging from 17.0 at Salcha to 24.8 at Pearl Creek.

Historical data for the past five years is also included in Table 1; the current class size average

of 23.3 students is slightly lower than the previous year.
