July 1, 2014 – continued
Mr. Slavens emailed members CSBA’s Governmental Relations Positions on Legislation and Sponsored Legislation. He noted SB 971 (School Finance) was read a second time and amended and has been re-referred to the Committee.
The Board accepted the Personnel Activity Report as presented.
Dr. Apolloni discussed the appointment of Joshua Schultz as Deputy Superintendent as of July 1, 2014. Mr. Schultz will report directly to the Superintendent and will hold both titles of Chief Business Official and Deputy Superintendent.
Dr. Apolloni will reduce his time base from the current 80% to 70% and will reassume his previous role as Associate Superintendent with direct supervision of Educational Services programs.
Mr. Slavens noted that under Gifts in Board Bylaw 9270 – Conflict of Interest, it states “Gifts of travel, including public transportation, and related lodging and subsistence shall be subject to the prevailing gift limitation except as described in Government Code 89506” and he thought the “including public transportation” part had been banned. Dr. Apolloni will look into this possible change and report to the Board members at the August 5th meeting.
Mr. Schultz noted that since the 2014-15 budget was just approved last week, he did not have any new information to report.
Future agenda items: 1) Work Session with WLC Architects, 2) Discuss Board Retreat, 3) Report from Board Evaluation Ad Hoc Committee, 4) Budget Update, 5) Second Reading and Approval of Board Bylaw 9270 – Conflict of Interest, 6) Update on Facilities Master Plan and Design for a Proposed Community School, and 7) Discuss Alternative Site for Board Meeting in the Fall.
The next meeting of the Napa County Board of Education will be on August 5, 2014.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 4:37 p.m., on a motion by Mrs. Lindsey and a second by Mrs. Cash.
Respectfully submitted,
