There is a great need to examine each of these jobs to make sure the job meets our current needs. Our employees need to be able to keep up with technology. Ms. Coleman stated job descriptions are being looked at on a regular basis, and we are making sure all job requirements are correct. Ms. Coleman stated Human Resources has put a timeline together to meet with some of our classified staff to get our 87 classified jobs down to a few less, not necessarily jobs, but job descriptions. We have jobs that are similar that we might be able to combine and have generic qualifications. The second Strategic plan goal was to look at our student workers, hire them and provide clear expectations, effective and supportive supervision and quality employee training for them. Last year we employed 79 student workers. Students are allowed to work up to 19 hours per week. They help in reception; filing, bookstore, library and they are an asset to all of our sites. Mrs. Badone discussed the process for the new district logo and branding. A sample of what the new logo will look like was given to the Board. Mrs. Badone stated there was a process of developed criteria that would include the district’s name, the vision statement, that it would include a 5 point star, not a shooting star, it might include “established in 1909”, it would be simple and flexible enough for different mediums in full color, and especially in black and white. Mrs. Badone noted that with the current logo we’ve had to add stars every time we’ve added a school. We would like to keep the star, but not necessarily one for every school. The

criterion was put on “99 designs” website. There were 154 submissions. At the May symposium there were 35 to 40 that met the criteria. We took it through different audiences, including some PR people in town. The logo will start being used in the Fall, but there will not be additional expenditures for everyone. We will use up our current business cards first. The logo is unique, interesting, and has a copyright. Mrs. Badone shared the 2009-2010 press release book. There were 53 press releases this year. Most are from the Yuma Sun and a few from Arizona Makes a Difference. Our priorities for press releases are safety, accomplishments and simple communications, like changes in bus schedules, etc. Mr. Townsend stated that item 3.1 (Budget Update) and item 3.4 (Compasina Fonteras Grant Program) will be omitted until the July 28, 2010 Special Governing Board meeting. Mrs. Badone shared the 2010-2011 Proposed Board Meeting Dates. She stated the October meeting would be a good time of year to go to another part of our district, so that meeting will be held at San Luis High School. Mrs. Badone stated that as we go through policies and audit job descriptions, changes in funding, etc., our regulations need to match. Mrs. Badone added that the statement in the policy about an unlimited number of days at double the substitute rate of pay has been removed. This is a budget issue, but rather than put what it would be in regulation, we felt it was more appropriate to leave it for meet and confer to discuss. Our regulations need to be as flexible as possible for us due to there being 3 opportunities this year where our budgets could be cut. Dr. Faidley reported on behalf of Charlene Story, who is in Phoenix at a required training. She would like to thank Ms. Coleman and her staff for helping to integrate the employees who were with the former food service provider into our district. She would also like to thank Lynn and Mercedes in Procurement in helping to finalize our bids. We did a good job at controlling our costs. Dr. Faidley stated new menus are in the process of being finished and they will be available for review at the next board meeting. Uniforms are being assembled here in town with a savings of $7000 over last year for the same items. We are working with the AWC career center to fill our Nutrition Associate position. We’ve been waiting for the guidelines from USDA to determine what our eligibility for free and reduced meals will be in terms of compensation. We will follow the same guidelines as 2009-2010 until further notice, so the reimbursements will be the same. Our art students, with the help of their teachers, are painting the menu signs. David Psolka, employee at Yuma High School, is concerned that the public is never able to see what the actual text is on what the board is considering for board policies.

Public Hearing 2010-2011 The Governing Board of Yuma Union High School District #70 held a Public Hearing on July 14, 2010, in the YUHSD Governing Board Room, 3150 South Avenue A, Yuma, Arizona, with Mr. Phillip Townsend presiding. Members present: Mr. Phillip Townsend, Board President; Mrs. Sally Doyle; Mr. Bruce Gwynn;

Mrs. Mary Melchionne, Mrs. Charlene Fernandez Others present: Mrs. Toni Badone, Superintendent; Dr. Richard Faidley, Associate Superintendent; members of the administrative, certified and classified staffs of Yuma Union High School District #70; and other interested citizens Mr. Townsend called the meeting to order at 5:15 p.m. followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence. Dr. Faidley stated that capital allocations have decreased significantly as a result of the State taking back capital allocations from districts across the State. They took away about 1.4 million dollars. Mr. Townsend noted that the estimated primary tax rate has dropped 1/10th of a percent. Dr. Faidley discussed the Truth in Taxation statement that is required by statute 15-905.01. It requires that we publish to the public a notice to increase taxes. Over the past several years, the State of Arizona has made it extremely difficult for districts to continue maintenance and upkeep of buildings as a result of capital decreases. There have been no building renewal monies, which help pay for things like safety, fencing, maintaining air conditioning systems, classrooms, furniture, and buses. He stated we are requesting an increase in the Property tax and levying by an additional 3.8 million dollars to assist the district in insuring that the facilities are able to sustain themselves over time through the renewal efforts that we will receive as a result of the funds. He stated that when these calculations are done, we need to remember that it is not the district that sets the property tax rate, we just estimate, but have been consistent with estimating correctly. If you look at a $100,000.00 home, and look at the overall primary homeowner tax, from 2010 to 2011, we are estimating a decrease of $6.47 in the amount of Yuma Union High School property taxes for the upcoming fiscal year. Mr. Richard Nix , spoke on the school property tax. He asked for clarification on the district asking for more money. Dr. Faidley stated by decreasing the primary tax rate, the amount of money that is charged to the taxpayers is going to decrease. He stated when we do our analysis; we are conservative in our approach to budgeting. Whatever we levy, in terms of additional funds to help us maintain our facilities, is not going to put an undo burden on the taxpayers. This particular estimate is a decrease in the amount of money that the taxpayers are going to need to pay. Mr. Townsend stated it’s a decrease from the request from last year. A motion to adjourn the public hearing was made by Mrs. Melchionne and seconded by Mrs. Doyle. The motion passed unanimously.

The Governing Board of Yuma Union High School District #70 held a Regular Meeting on August 11, 2010, in the YUHSD Governing Board Room, 3150 South Avenue A, Yuma, Arizona, with Mr. Phillip Townsend presiding. Members present: Mr. Phillip Townsend, Board President; Mrs. Sally Doyle; Mr. Bruce Gwynn;

Mrs. Mary Melchionne, Mrs. Charlene Fernandez Others present: Mrs. Toni Badone, Superintendent; Dr. Mark Bastin, Associate

Superintendent, members of the administrative, certified and classified staffs of Yuma Union High School District #70; and other interested citizens

Mr. Townsend called the meeting to order at 5:15 p.m. followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence. None at this time Ms. Coleman introduced representatives from the Phoenix Teaching Fellows. She stated the program is part of our recruitment and retention efforts and that we are excited about the quality teachers that are coming to us through this program. Abigail Huston, Site Manager of the Phoenix Teaching Fellows spoke and introduced Lisa Barto, a partner in the program who oversees all of the work that is done in Arizona. Ms. Huston discussed key points of the program which included the following:

The program has brought in 100 teachers into 52 schools in Arizona

18 highly qualified teachers were brought to Yuma this year, 13 are in Yuma Union H.S. District.

The program works very hard with the Districts to make sure they bring in candidates in high need subject areas.

Phoenix Teaching Fellows is a very selective program. There were over 1300 applications and only 118 of them met the selection criteria that were set.

There is a 5-week training program that all the Fellows are required to attend. They are in classrooms during the day learning about instruction and classroom management.

All participants are enrolled in Rio Salado to make sure they get their full certification in two years.

Phoenix Teaching Fellows will be called Arizona Teaching Fellows due to the fact that they are partnering with Yuma Districts as well as Phoenix Districts.

Ms. Huston stated there is a full-time training and resource manager on staff who works with the Fellows individually. There will be two rounds of formal observations of all the Fellows. They will meet with the Fellows to go over what areas they need more support or resources on, as well as working very closely with the districts in their support structure. Mrs. Badone commented that there have been very positive comments from our Principals regarding the quality of the interviews that took place in June of this year. The Principals were able to hire 8 teachers at that time. They are very happy with the quality of the teachers they have hired through the program. Ms. Coleman stated she felt one of the best parts of the program is that these teachers are intern certificated and they experience 5

weeks of student teaching prior to the beginning of school. She added that many times our alternative certification teachers do not have this opportunity, and that we really appreciate the fact that they helped get the teachers certified. Dr. Bastin noted that he was with the Principals when they interviewed the candidates and in talking with them, they all felt it was the best group they had interviewed individually, as far as their teaching knowledge and skills. Dr. Bastin introduced Larry Lebsock, the Yuma-LaPaz Tech. Prep Director from Arizona Western College. Mr. Lebsock discussed the AZ Math-in-CTE Project. He stated the program helps Career & Technical secondary teachers integrate core classes into their curriculum. Mr. Lebsock discussed the National Research Center for Career and Technical education, who emphasize that there are already math competencies in all of the CTE programs. The object is to help the CTE teachers do a better job of teaching the math competencies that they are already teaching. It is research based and was tested on 3000 high school students and 71 teachers. It’s been tested and proven to work. Mr. Lebsock added that to make the program work you have to pair a math instructor with a CTE instructor. Once that is done, you inventory the CTE curriculum to find out which math competencies are actually being taught, then lesson plans are built from there. Tammy Pixley, Math teacher at Yuma High School and Terry Hurt, Construction Trades teacher at Yuma High School, spoke about their experiences with the program. They were able to share lesson plans with other teachers in the state who have been participating in this program. They are both excited about the program and can see that it will benefit the students as well as the teachers. Mrs. Badone introduced the following new leaders in the Yuma Union High School District. Each leader introduced themselves and shared something that would not be found on their resume.

Sue Johnston, Director of Transportation Faith Klostreich, Principal – Yuma High School Fran Rodriguez, Principal – San Luis High School Paul Keegan, Director of Student Services Lois Elaine Corbet – Asst. Principal –San Luis H.S. Rachael Eggers – Asst. Principal – Yuma High School Thomas Safranek – Asst. Principal – Yuma High School

Mrs. Badone discussed enrollment. She stated there are always a number of schedules that are not picked up. The staff is making calls or going out to find students that are missing. Enrollment numbers are about the same as last year. Mrs. Badone added that she visited the campuses and found there was great customer service; the kids were smiling, everyone seemed happy to be there. Lunch lines were quick; all lines were gone at 20 minutes. Mrs. Badone thanked Parent Volunteers who helped during registration. Board members reviewed the budget. There were no questions. Charlene Story expressed her appreciation for her staff and how great things went during the start of school. Ms. Story introduced Elaina Valenzuela, who was a student at SLHS, went on to AWC, and received her dietician certification. She is now working for the District and will be preparing our school menus. Ms. Story stated

AZ Math-in-CTE Project Introduction of New Leaders School Start Up Budget Update Student Nutrition Services Report


we have 3 schools that are on Provision 2; therefore the students eat for free. Over 6000 applications were processed before school. Ms. Story reviewed the new menu with Board members. She stated she has been getting very positive comments from students and that nutrition information will be posted at the lunch lines for students to see. Robin Vance, Parent, stated her concerns about the 2-mile walk out. She is concerned about the temperature they walk in, as well as the safety due to the distance and no lighting. Veronica Clark, Parent, stated her concerns about transportation as well. She is concerned about safety issues. She was frustrated about not getting answers as to why there is no transportation for children. Mrs. Badone asked the parents to get with her after the Board Meeting so she could get their contact information and stated she would get information to them about their concerns. Mr. Townsend stated that #5 was removed from item 5.2, routine personnel. Ms. Fernandez asked that item 5.8, substitute teacher salary schedule, be pulled for discussion.

Mrs. Fernandez stated she had a couple of people contact her about retirees being targeted as far as the pay for substitutes. She asked who represents substitutes on Meet & Confer. Mrs. Badone stated in regards to Meet & Confer, there were subcommittees that included Meet & Confer, as well as teachers from our district. The Goal was to find savings and be able to predict substitute costs. It was studied at length. This particular motion is to approve a substitute salary schedule, which is required in our policy. Retirees were not being targeted. She added that when our schools have a budget for certain things that don’t fall under grants, for substitute salaries, one problem was that Retirees were not getting called because they cost more. In better days, our district paid retirees double the sub pay. Right now we’ve not raised salaries in any other group, we’ve made a lot of sacrifices across the Board. The Leave committee made a recommendation, stating they value our retirees, but at the same time we want to be able to afford them. It was therefore reduced to $120 per day. It was also somewhat of a reflection of the Boards previous action in terms of valuing current employees. Mrs. Fernandez stated we have put a lot of money and training into our Retirees training and professional development, and that she, as a parent, would be much happier if a teacher was out and there was a substitute in the classroom that was experienced. The motion passed 4 to 1. It was recommended that the Governing Board accept the following donations: Cibola Arizona Counseling and Treatment Services LLC donated $495 in textbooks to the Cibola High School Accounting class. Patrick Harvey, CPA donated $100 in textbooks to the Cibola High School Accounting class. Gray & Terkelsen, PLLC donated $500 in textbooks to the Cibola High School Accounting class.

The Firm of Shippen & Associates, P.C. donated $495 in textbooks to the Cibola High School Accounting class.

the early college academy. The grant also provided funds to hire a Project Lead. Mr. Laguna shared information on the grant, the guidelines, timelines, and deadlines. He distributed handouts to the Board. The Yuma High School Early Collegiate Pathway Plan included the vision, the mission, and the features of the Academy. He shared the process for implementation.

It increases the number of collegiate pathways that students have the opportunity to take. YUHSD has the potential opportunity to be an early adopter district of this curriculum, aligned with the Common Core standards. The Center for the Future of Arizona is the official group in charge of Move on When Ready and has been designated by the State Board of Education to make this happen in the state of Arizona. Mrs. Badone explained the various opportunities for students. Mrs. Badone answered questions from the Board. Mrs. Cordery provided an overview of the current budget.

The Governing Board of Yuma Union High School District #70 held a Special Joint Meeting/Study Session with the Antelope Union High School District Governing Board on November 22, 2010, in the Art Classroom at Gila Ridge High School, 7150 East 24th Street, Yuma, Arizona, with Mr. Phillip Townsend presiding. YUHSD Members present: Mr. Phillip Townsend, Board President; Mrs. Sally Doyle; Mrs. Charlene

Robert Klee, Superintendent, Antelope Union High School District; members of the administrative, certified and classified staffs of Yuma Union High School District #70; and other interested citizens

The meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m. followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence. A panel consisting of Mr. Tom Tyree, Yuma County Schools Superintendent; Mr. Howard Moody, JTED Consultant; Dr. Marcus Johnson, Arizona Western College; and Ms. Julie Engel, Greater Yuma Economic Development Corporation, presented information on Joint Technical Educational Districts (JTEDs) and how Yuma County would benefit by creating a JTED. Mr. Tyree explained what a JTED is and provided a brief history of JTEDs in Arizona. He noted that Yuma County is the only county in Arizona that does not currently have a JTED. A JTED is an independent school district, with its own elected governing board. It offers only approved Career and Technical Education Courses to high school students. School districts experience no decrease to home district funding. With a Yuma County JTED students would be afforded more opportunities for in-depth technical training. New programs could be offered that are not possible now. Local business would benefit from a Yuma County JTED with a better-trained workforce. More skilled workers would be locally trained to provide essential services. The panel provided information on JTED funding. A conservative estimate on the amount of additional money that Yuma County would receive in JTED funding would be $3-4 million. JTEDs are funded through two revenue streams: 1. Property tax: Residential property tax would be assessed $5 per $100,000 assessed property value; 16% for agricultural land, and 23% for commercial property; 2) Income tax: Yuma County residents already contribute via

Call to Order Panel Presentation and Discussion on the Possible Formation of a JTED for Yuma County


income taxes to the Arizona general fund. Seventy-five to eighty percent of JTED funding comes from the general fund. Yuma County residents already contribute toward JTEDs in 13 other Arizona counties through income tax. Examples of courses taught at other JTEDs include agriculture, aircraft mechanics, auto technology, construction trades, culinary arts/hospitality management; nursing; heavy equipment, and welding. Community need and input would determine what classes would be taught at a Yuma County JTED. To create a JTED, three key things must take place: 1) The two high school district governing boards meet and appoint a steering committee to establish community need and create a governance plan; 2) The district governing boards approve the plan and submit it to the Arizona Board of Education; and 3) The two district governing boards approve a question for the ballot for voters to approve the creation of the Joint Technical Education District. The steering committee would document the need for a JTED, survey students, parents, and the community, and develop a plan. The steering committee would represent education and business. Panel members, Mrs. Badone, and Mr. Klee answered questions from board members. A motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Mr. Gwynn and seconded by Mrs. Fernandez. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m.

David Gonzalez, Board Member Ms. Araceli Juarez, Board Member Ms. Fern Soto, Board Member After the tour of the City of Somerton, Mrs. Fernandez called the meeting to order at 6:47 p.m. followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. YUHSD Board members and administration, City of Somerton officials, Somerton Elementary School District Board members and administration, and Cocopah Nation Councilmember introduced themselves. Mayor Porchas expressed the city’s desire to have a high school built in Somerton and asked what they could do to assist in achieving that goal. Mayor Porchas referenced the recent City of Somerton – 2010 General Plan Update. Mayor Porchas, Mr. Lee, and several City Council members all expressed their wish for a high school and shared how the community would benefit from having a high school. Mrs. Fernandez expressed her support for a Somerton high school. Mrs. Badone provided several handouts, including the YUHSD profile, the School Facilities Board (SFB) application process for a high school, information on School Improvement Bonds, and YUHSD student counts. After the opening of San Luis High School in 2002 and of Gila Ridge High School in 2007, the next school scheduled for construction was in Somerton. The original plan had the school scheduled to open in Fall 2011. Approximately two years ago, the District had almost completed the land acquisition process for SFB when a moratorium was placed on all new school construction. She stated that it is unknown at this point when funds do become available whether the District will be able to start the process where they left off or whether they will have to start at the beginning. Mrs. Badone noted that, if school planning and

construction had kept on schedule with an anticipated open date of Fall 2011, the District would be unable to open the school with the current staffing situation. In the absence of funds from SFB, other fundraising options were discussed. It was noted that planning is the most important thing and even with the number of current challenges, they are not insurmountable. It was suggested that SFB members be invited to Somerton. It was also suggested that other districts in the state be contacted to see what they are doing. Dr. Reed answered questions about the elementary school district current and projected enrollment, and school capacities. Dr. Faidley answered questions about current construction costs. Mr. Townsend questioned the costs of staffing and maintaining a school that size on a yearly basis. Mrs. Badone stated the costs of building a school do not stop with the completion of construction. Although teachers may be transferred, there is the need for additional staffing including food service, librarians, secretaries, and custodians. The City of Somerton will take the initial steps to contact the State and then to get this group back together. A motion to adjourn was made by Mr. Townsend and seconded by Mrs. Doyle. The motion passed unanimously. The public hearing adjourned at 8:02 p.m.

A motion to approve the Consent Agenda with the exception of 5.4.1, and 5.4.2 was made by Mr. Townsend and seconded by Mrs. Doyle. The motion passed unanimously. A motion to discuss item 5.4.1, Consideration to Award RFQ 70-11-7-5, Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for Auditorium at San Luis High School, was made by Mrs. Doyle and seconded by Ms. Brooks. The motion passed unanimously. Mrs. Badone provided a brief background on this Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The original RFQ was posted in Fall 2010. Dr. Faidley provided background on the procurement process and the evaluation criteria used for the RFQ. A.R.S. § 34-603 sets forth the parameters for procurement services in the state of Arizona. This process was entered into on two separate occasions. At the end of the first process, a bid protest was received. The process was conducted a second time under the advisement of legal counsel. Dr. Faidley provided details on the scoring rubric and committee member selection (based on requirements by law). Other than the architect, members of the second committee were entirely different from the first committee. Each committee member scores each written proposal based on a scoring rubric. From that scoring a short list is determined. In this case, five firms were on the short list. The second part of the process is the interview. Each firm was given a set of questions to address in the interview process. Each firm was given 20 minutes to present their proposal to the committee. Ten minutes were set aside for questions from the committee. Interviews were scored by committee members. The scores were then tabulated and the firms were ranked. Of the three firms that made the short list for that process, one firm ranked higher than the other two. Dr. Faidley stated that, per Arizona law, until a contract has been awarded the District cannot make that list public record. The CMAR protects the District in terms of vulnerability for projects going above their anticipated costs. In the CMAR process, there is a guaranteed maximum price that is brought to the Board for review prior to groundbreaking. Dr. Faidley and Mrs. Badone answered questions from the Board. A motion to defer item 5.4.1, Consideration to Award RFQ 70-11-7-5, Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for Auditorium at San Luis High School to the next Board meeting and direct staff to discuss the issue with legal counsel was made by Mr. Townsend and seconded by Mrs. Doyle. The motion passed unanimously. A motion to discuss 5.4.2, Consideration to Award RFP 70-11-8-5, Student Information System, was made by Ms. Brooks and seconded by Mr. Townsend. The motion passed unanimously. Mrs. Badone provided additional information. There are two student information systems: the statewide SAIS system, and the local student information system, eSIS. The local system, eSIS, is utilized by YUHSD and Yuma School District One (YSD1). ALL, the owner of eSIS, was recently purchased by Power School, and the District was informed by the company that they would not do any future work to enhance this program to meet the District’s needs.

Mr. Tucker recommended that, since there may be litigation in the matter, the Board adjourn to executive session to have the benefit of attorney/client privilege. Mrs. Badone requested that, prior to the Board adjourning to executive session, Mr. Tucker speak in general about the Arizona Revised Statute that dictates the process for selecting a CMAR contractor. Mr. Tucker stated that, because the school district is a public entity, they are bound by the law. He noted that there seemed to be a misconception that the district could do what they wanted, but the truth is that the district is very limited in what they can do; they must follow the law. He provided a brief history of bid processes. He explained the differences between low bid and CMAR. Mr. Tucker stated that the district cannot have a criteria in the RFQ that the vendor be a local contractor. School districts are tightly controlled by the Arizona Department of Education and they must comply with those laws. Mr. Tucker answered questions from the Board. A motion to adjourn to executive session was made by Ms. Brooks and seconded by Mrs. Doyle. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned to executive session at 6:00 p.m. A motion to reconvene the regular meeting was made by Mr. Townsend and seconded by Ms. Brooks. The motion passed unanimously.

Mrs. Badone stated that the next regular meeting is March 9, 2011, in the Board Room. A motion to adjourn was made by Mr. Townsend and seconded by Mr. Gwynn. The meeting adjourned at 6:51 p.m.

Mrs. Badone congratulated YUHSD Business Office on receiving the Association of School Business Officials International Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting for the fiscal year of 2010. Ms. Cordery introduced Jamie Waldon and thanked her for her amazing work and also everyone else in their department. Ms. Brooks asked if we nominated Ms. Cordery for this award. Ms. Cordery said auditors are the ones who submit nominations. Mrs. Badone addressed the two budget items. The first one was our internal budget reviewed on a monthly basis. The second item was a preview of the 2011-2012 budget. Ms. Brooks asked how we do with so little. Mrs. Badone said we need to thank everyone. Mrs. Cordery distributed handouts on the Effects of Budget Cuts and ASRS Fundings. She reported that $3,731,609 should have been our full allocation for unrestricted capital for 2010-2011. Cuts were based on our student count, which was 11,052 @ $75 per student. Also, since the opening of Gila Ridge we borrowed $2,000,000 from unrestricted capital to M&O to pay for classified staffing. The idea was to move those monies back from M&O to unrestricted soft capital over three years but had not had that opportunity. An additional cut will be $40 per student for Educational Jobs Funds. The result will be an unrestricted capital budget allocation of $2,900,000. Total estimated soft capital allocation for next year could be $77,305 compared to the $699,000 we had this year. These monies are used for textbooks, buses, copiers, etc. Good news is we have flexibility to move between soft capital, unrestricted capital and M & O. We have a $2,600,000 contingency which includes the $2,000,000 we’ve moved from unrestricted capital. Ms. Cordery commented that we are in good shape and the district has a good track record in working with what little we have. Mrs. Badone congratulated our district for hanging on while we built this contingency, which has allowed us to not have additional cuts in salaries and/or reduction in force. Mrs. Cordery stated that recent changes to the Arizona State Retirement System would require district employees to pay a 53 percent to state retirement and the district pay 47 percent. The district is currently figuring a way in which employees will not have to lose that 3 percent from their paycheck.

Mrs. Badone reported that we have a state budget for next year and these are the outcomes. The legislature is still in session and there may be some additional changes that could occur between now and the end of the session.

Mrs. Badone and Mrs. Cordery answered a question from Mrs. Brooks in regards to the state retirement increase that impacts our employees. Mrs. Badone distributed handouts on the Strategic Plan. She briefly went over each step and commented on percentage of completion for each step.

Mrs. Fernandez commented that YUHSD is doing a great job with the Strategic Planning Mrs. Badone noted a small change to Board Policy- BEDB, Board Agenda. One deletion- Adoption of the agenda.

its current configuration, the process and fee structure used by YUHSD to rent District-owned facilities for non-school related activities is resulting in a significant net loss to the District. Two primary issues are: 1. Cumbersome and complicated rental process

Too many steps, process not clearly defined, varying levels of input from stakeholders, variations in software programs used, no designated coordinator (job is an “add-on” task).

2. Inadequate cost recovery measures. Existing fee structure results in financial loss to District. Causes of financial loss: Administrative overhead Custodial overtime Security Maintenance/Grounds Energy Costs (HVAC, Electrical) Utilities (Water, Gas) Consumables (Paper towels, light bulbs) Facility and Equipment wear-and-tear IT services* Food service* Mr. Hylland provided the Board with a power point presentation on Facilities Usage and Rental Fees. Discussion was held. Mrs. Badone asked Mr. Hylland to make some recommendations in July on the fee structure. There were no requests to address the Board.

the County Treasurer to authorize investments for the upcoming fiscal year. Mrs. Brooks requested 5.2, Routine Personnel and 5.3, Armored Car Services be pulled from the Consent Agenda for discussion. A motion to approve the Consent Agenda, excluding 5.2 and 5.3 was made by Mr. Townsend and seconded by Mr. Gwynn. The motion passed unanimously. A motion to approve 5.2, Routine Personnel, was made by Mrs. Brooks and seconded by Mr. Townsend. Mrs. Brooks asked on the procedure and practice on posting/interviewing/hiring people. Mrs. Badone stated that policy gives latitude to develop practices that appropriate to both the context of the schools and the context of the times. For example in our school district with the vision of “Where Great Mind Grow” sometimes its possible to have a succession plan when its known well in advance that a particular person is going to retire and/or leave. At times perhaps context has been provided on what training or which folks have been developed. Other times it is more appropriate to have a longer process with regards to interviews and paper screening. The bottom line is the Superintendent does have the power to recommend to the Governing Board when it’s appropriate. The motion passed unanimously. Mrs. Fernandez introduced Mr. Ryan Fritz, new assistant principal for Yuma High School and Mr. Timothy Brienza, new principal for Cibola High School beginning January 2012. A motion to approve 5.3, Armored Car Services, was made by Mr. Townsend and seconded by Mr. Gwynn. Mrs. Brooks asked about the history of using armored cars in our district. Mrs. Badone answered Mrs. Brook’s question. There are thousands of dollars, ex: gates fees, club monies, cafeteria monies, etc., that flow through the campus bookstores and it is imperative that the campus is protected from anyone who might take advantage. Mrs. Cordery stated that the district pays for the service of them going to each campus three/five times a week during the school year. The motion passed unanimously. It was recommended that the Governing Board accept the following donations:

Gila Ridge High School Student Council Club donated 1 passport Pro Audion PA System, microphone stands, 3 microphones and necessary cables to the GRHS Student Council Leadership Class for future campus events. Total value is $1400. Adolfson & Peterson Construction donated $1000.00 for food and awards for the YUHSD Retirement and Recognition Ceremony.

A motion to accept the donations was made by Mrs. Brooks and seconded by Mrs. Doyle. The motion passed unanimously. The ASBA Proposed Action Agenda Items for FY 2012 were provided to Board members on Wednesday, June 1. Board members may discuss any proposed action item and provide direction to the Board’s delegate for voting during the delegate assembly. A motion to approve the same recommendations was made by Mr. Townsend and seconded by Mr. Gwynn. The motion passed unanimously. Mrs. Badone asked that 6.3 be pulled for lack of documentation. Mrs. Fernandez asked for a demonstration on the Netbooks at a
