GMP Update

A Guaranteed Maximum Price (also known as GMP, Not-To-Exceed

Price, NTE, or NTX) contract is a cost-type contract (also known as an

open-book contract) where the contractor is compensated subject to

a ceiling price. The contractor is responsible for cost overruns, unless

the GMP has been increased via formal change order (only as a result

of scope additions by the Project Owner or conditions which could not

have been reasonably known or foreseen). Savings resulting from cost

under-runs are returned to the owner. This is different from a fixed-

price contract (also known as stipulated price contract or lump-sum

contract) where cost savings are typically retained by the contractor

and essentially become additional profits.

Owl Creek CLC Calendar

TO: Board of Education FROM: Kristen Champion I will present the recommendation of the Owl Creek School calendar study regarding transition to the continuous learning calendar.

IX-C1

Recommendation to the Board of Education

September 26, 2013

CLC can play an important role in implementing the standardized Common Core curriculum for each grade level. During Intersessions, teachers have the opportunity to be creative, and students have opportunities to grow and develop individual talents.

Intersessions provide teachers with flexibility that regular school days do not.

To improve students’ and teachers’ satisfaction with school. To provide additional opportunities to strengthen existing

community connections. To provide students and parents more choice and

opportunities. To improve academic achievement on regular school days.

Three years of investigating the Continuous Learning Calendar 2010-11

Exploratory Committee was formed 2011-2012

Staff Surveys Teachers heard presentations from other CLC

schools (Happy Hollow and Asbell) Presented to the Parental Advisory Council

2012-2013 Open Forums to raise questions and concerns of the

community and drive the focus of the committees. February Four CLC Committees investigated questions and concerns

March-April Site visits to CLC schools Grade-level round table discussions Research was presented to Parents & Staff

May Parent Calendar Survey Shared Results with Staff and Parents

Research School VisitsIntersessionSiblings at Other Schools

CLC Committees’ Key Conclusions Student Academic Performance Students experience learning loss during summer

breaks Consistent academic gains for CLC schools Shows lower rates of absenteeism and fewer

disciplinary infractions than traditional schools Increased opportunities of enrichment for all student

populations Improved academic benefits for at-risk students Gifted and Talented are continually challenged

Key Conclusions continued Benefits for Teachers More evenly distributed workload Lower levels of stress and sense of burnout Increased opportunities for professional reflection

Benefits for Community/Family Options for vacationing at off-peak times Fewer disruptions associated with weather-related

school closings Increased opportunities for community partnerships

during intersessions

Leverett* 69 parent surveys returned* 30 for, 26 against and 13 undecided

Washington* 30 parent surveys returned* 12 for, 9 against and 9 undecided

RJHS* 5 parent surveys returned* 1 for, 4 against and none undecided

Owl Creek Staff--- 84% of Owl Creek staff surveyed in May 2013 believe the CLC has the potential to better support student achievement goals and to help meet the needs of all students.

Owl Creek Parents--- a total of 426 surveys were returned

• Elementary School 75% FOR CLC* 327 out of 553 parent surveys returned for PK-5 * 221 for, 73 against and 33 undecided

• Middle School 56% FOR CLC* 99 out of 290 parent surveys returned for 6-7* 50 for, 39 against and 10 undecided

In May 2013, faculty considered three options Continue investigation in the 2013-14 school year Maintain the traditional calendar Recommend to Mrs. Thomas transitioning to CLC

Based upon our research process and the survey results, the Owl Creek faculty recommends transitioning to the CLC calendar for Owl Creek in 2014-15.

COMMUNITY USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES

General Policy The public school facilities exist in order that the youth of the community may receive the benefits of a sound education program. Although this is the basic purpose for which the schools are built, school facilities may serve the community at large. Therefore, it is the policy of the Board of Education to make district buildings and facilities available to the community when not in use for school activities. Usage of school buildings will be restricted to individuals or groups whose activities benefit the residents of the Fayetteville School District. The district will not extend use of a facility to any organization or group whose policies advocate the advancement of any doctrine or theory subversive to the laws of the United States of America or the State of Arkansas. The district also reserves the right to refuse the use of facilities to any group whose usage might be detrimental to the facilities or create a disturbance. Users must comply with all federal and state equal opportunity regulations regarding discrimination: gender, ethnicity, disability, religious or political affiliation. Approval of use of a facility by an organization for non-school purposes will not constitute endorsement by the district of that organization or its beliefs and purposes. The user shall be responsible for the conduct and control of participants and shall ensure that all applicable fire and safety regulations are followed. The maximum number of participants permitted in any facility shall be restricted to its seating capacity as indicated by fire regulations. Use or possession of tobacco, alcohol or illegal drugs anywhere on school property is strictly prohibited. Use or possession of firearms or other weapons, as well as gambling are also prohibited. Failure to comply will result in an immediate request to leave the facility and grounds and will void any future rentals.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
