VI.COMMENTS FROM THE CHAIR
A. Dr. Burrell stated there was a misunderstanding last month regarding negotiations. He said he was contacted by Mr. Stonecipher and Ms. Emert about negotiatingthe contract, but it’s already ratified for this year. The message came out that he would extend the contract for three years, but that was not the recommendation at all. He said collective bargaining has to be done now and information needs to be provided as to what we need as there are seven items that have to be negotiated.
B. Tennessee School Board Association’s (TSBA)Fall District Meeting will be held September 20, 2011 at HardinValleyAcademy in Knoxville.
- The 2011 TSBA annual convention will be held November 13 – 15, 2011 at the Opryland Hotel. Dr. Burrell instructed board members to let the board secretary know as soon as possible if they plan on attending.
VII.DIRECTOR’S REPORT
A. Something Good – Sandra Patton, Briceville Elementary. Ms. Patton said several 4th and 5th grade students competed in the state archery contest, withJamie Poore placing 31st out of 120+ girls in the competition. A program named “Go Slow and Whoa” was developed through a partnership with the UT Agricultural Extension Office emphasizing good eating habits. Ms. Patton said the Coal Creek Watershed Foundationcontinues to support Briceville students with scholarships. Two former students were recently awarded scholarships to continue their college education. A First Chance program teaching reading techniques and strategies to get ahead is being offered at Briceville Elementary. Their top kindergarten students are now reading at the mid-1st grade level. The school is hosting a book swap where students can swap one old book for three new ones. Ms. Patton said a ground-breaking ceremony was recently held for the new library with approximately 250 people in attendance. Last year, the school received a $9k anonymous donation that was usedto replace library books and a $5k donation used to put up new stage curtains.
B. Mr. Foster introduced Karri Hobby, recently named NorwoodElementary School principal. He advised the board that Henry Baggett has been selected as the new principal at LakeCityElementary School. He stated there are two administrative vacancies; one at Norwood Middle (principal) and one at ClintonHigh School (assistant principal). He also advised the board that the system has advertised for an instructional supervisor and will interview inthe near future.
C. Leisa Fair explained the system received notice from the state last week that AndersonCounty has been selected for review and they’ve chosen ClintonHigh School for compliance monitoring. All documentation supporting the review must be submitted by Friday, June 17, 2011. Ms. Fair said a report will be issued once the review is complete and board of education members will be notified of the status.
D. Mr. Foster reminded the board of state monitoringthat occurs when the system receives federal funds. He said Head Start, Adult Education, Career & Technical and the Title programs have been monitored and Special Education is being monitored at this time. At the end of the month, a copy of findings will be provided to board members. Monitoring in Special Education will be finished by July and a complete summary will then be provided to the board.
