WORKSHOP MINUTES April 28, 2014 I. Call to Order II. Roll Call III. Topic: Crossroads Park Elementary IV. Adjournment The workshop meeting of the Board of Education of the West Des Moines Community School District was held on Monday, April 28, 2014, at Crossroads Park Elementary, 1050 50 th Street, West Des Moines, IA 50266. I. Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by President Elizabeth Brennan at 5:17 p.m. II. Roll Call: The secretary noted the following Board members present: Elizabeth Brennan, David Brown, Kevin Carroll, H. Milton Cole, Andi Lipman, Vicky Poole and Tali Greenspon. Absent: None III. Topic: Crossroads Park Elementary: Principal Britt Cameron thanked the Board for coming to the school and for the leadership they give to the district. He said their work is truly appreciated. He then reviewed the agenda for the evening, which included featuring aspects of the school that align with the district draft strategic plan. He introduced orchestra teacher Abby Meyer and her students who performed. The student performers included Clayton Stein, Mary Thomas, Justin Hua and Jeremy Bailey. Next Lynda Niffenegger talked about the relationships Crossroads Park has with community groups, organizations and business that help students and the community as a whole. This includes a partnership with Farm Bureau, a Thanksgiving food drive providing more than 1,200 turkeys to families, a bake sale for the American Cancer Society and much more. Counselor Kelli Ladd talked about three programs at the school, including Cool CREWS (Crossroads Respects/Everyone Welcome), the Back Pac Program and West Des Moines Rotary Club bike program. The Rotary Bike Club has provided 35 bikes for Crossroads Park students. She said one of the programs unique to Crossroads is Cool CREWS. She said it is an effort to build relationships. She noted the school has a group that works to be welcoming and has worked on it for many years, starting with character. She said about three years ago, a fifth grade student expressed interest in starting an anti-bullying club. Fourth grade teacher Carol Mahlendorf reviewed the school’s partnership with Farm Bureau, which includes Farm Bureau staff reading to students. Michelle Cook of Farm Bureau said the business education partnership has been around for nearly 30 years. The committee meets every month. She reported that the activities have changed over the years. This year the third graders planted flowers for Earth Day and the staff provided a botany- and garden-related lesson. Farm Bureau provides turkeys and transportation for the sixth graders to deliver the turkeys to families for Thanksgiving. They also do an agriculture fair. She said many years ago the fair involved bringing farm animals to the school and then more recently bringing large ag-related equipment. Today, it includes a game similar to “a minute to win it” in which students learn about how farms bring food to tables. Farm Bureau also does a book fair and all the funds go to the Crossroads media center. Sixth grade teacher Brandon Hargens then reviewed the Crossroads Cougar Student Council, After School Studies Program and ESL (English as a Second Language) parent classes. Hargens noted that the teachers try to empower the students on the student council and it is thrilling to see them take on more leadership from first grade to sixth grade. He said they not only help within the school, but also work to improve the community. He said the council also sponsors a movie night for families to help earn money for Dollars for Schools, but now it is free of charge in order to encourage more families to come to the school. He said the students work to set up and tear down for the event. He said the council also sponsors different activities and works with the Cool CREWS. Hargens also noted that they have worked on the Homecoming parade, taking home a trophy one year. The council also organized a bake sale for the parent/teacher conferences. Katy Fancher talked about the school’s efforts to reach out to families whose first language is something other English. She said they worked with Community Education to provide an English as a Second Language class for parents. It was offered on Tuesday nights from 6-7 p.m. The class had native speakers at each table to help differentiate learning based on the needs of the adult students in the class. She said there have been 13-19 participants. She said they also offered childcare. She noted an extension was offered through April, which included involving members of the PTA to help connect parents with the parent teacher organization. She said the goal is parent teacher collaboration.

Hargens then talked about the school’s Homework and Study Help, which is a structured study hall and assists students who may need extra help or who need to access technology. He said the faculty has noticed more parents and students have taken advantage of this offering. Special education teacher Sharon Cox provided information on the school’s Special Olympics participants and its work with Iowa State University. She shared a story of a student who participated in the Special Olympics and noted that the school also provides an offering for students younger than third grade because the Special Olympics is for third grade through high school students. She said the school also has a partnership with Iowa State University students who work with a special education student in the school. This year the College of Engineering came up with a tool to help a student with movement. The school has also worked with Locks of Love. She said both teachers and students participate. The school partners with stylists, who come in for free and provide styles for the students and staff who donate their hair.

Open Forum: Randy Ripperger, 3012 Mary Lynn Drive, Urbandale, Iowa, said he is the interim County Assessor. He noted that the assessor is appointed by the conference board. Each school district has to designate a representative to sit on the conference board. He said he is a candidate for the position and would make himself available to anyone of the School Board. The conference board meeting will be next Monday. Jas Overlin, 1440 41st Pl, Des Moines, said she is here tonight to introduce the West Des Moines Education Association’s presidents-elect. The association’s bylaws were changed recently to have two co-presidents for staggered two-year terms. To begin the rotation, Vicky Rossander will serve for one year this year and Becca Moss will serve for two years. Mark Brown, 707 36th Street, West Des Moines, said he wants to address the bond issue. He said as an illustration let’s say your child takes money out of your wallet and in its place there instead an IOU. That is what we are doing to our kids by advocating for another bond issue. He asked why we are spending money if we are just scheduling renovations. He said we are not doing renovations because of need but because it is a school’s “turn.” He said the district is borrowing money from future generations. It is money that we are taking away from future School Boards. He said when interest rates are larger, those problems will be amplified. He asked the Board to please consider that when its members vote tonight. IV. Consent Agenda: It was moved by Brown and seconded by Lipman to approve the consent agenda as presented. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote.

V. Superintendent’s Report: Superintendent Dr. Lisa Remy thanked Crossroads Park Principal Britt Cameron and Crossroads Park students and staff for hosting the workshop and providing tours of the building. She then noted her written report, specifically the Multi-tiered System of Supports information. WDMCS Curriculum Director Steph Wilson provided further detail. VI. Board Reports:

a. Superintendent’s Advisory Board Policy Committee: Carroll noted the items later on the agenda. b. Superintendent’s Advisory Facility & Finance Committee: Lipman highlighted the $21,000 in donations to the school district

from community organizations and said it is wonderful to see the support from the community. c. Superintendent’s Advisory Human Resources Committee: The committee has not met. d. Superintendent’s Advisory Teaching & Learning Committee: Greenspon said there are about 20 programs of study that the

committee is going over. She said there will be a large TLS advisory committee meeting coming up and the programs of study will be brought to the Board in June. Lipman also noted that district PE teachers visited the committee to talk about the PE waivers and its impact. She noted some alternatives presented by the PE teachers and there will be more discussions to be had at a later date. Cole said it was the first time in his six years on the Board that anyone from the athletic department made a presentation. He said it availed the committee members of the course offerings provided. He said they are offerings that provide life-long, educational, physical lessons for healthy living. He said he would have been healthier if he had had the opportunity to take these courses. He said the presentation was a very informative presentation. The teachers were passionate about what they do and in teaching students with a wide-range of physical abilities with in a wide variety of opportunities.

Cole cited that he attended the play Cinderella the Ash Girl. He said it was at a camp facility. He said the moisture laden environment on Sunday did not dampen the presentation of the play. He said 150 people participated. He said he was impressed with Stacy Hansen’s direction and preparation and responsible nature in providing information about the weather and any actions that would need to be taken if it turned severe during the play.

Poole said that she went to Disney World recently and she was on a ride with a sign that said danger. She said the evil on the ride was that every child was taught the same thing at the same time. She left the ride thinking of the Common Core. She noted Indiana is not participating and there is the need to be creative in teaching and in student learning.

Lipman said she attended the Valley play and commended the production, but noted that the location made her and all those involved appreciate that there will be a new auditorium. She said she attended the School Community Network, whose members talked about the budget and strategic plan and there was great feedback, including adding art to STEM for STEAM. She also attended the ELP meeting and attendees spoke about the parent partnership they have formed. She also noted that the calendar committee’s recommendation to move an August 12, 2015 start date. She said it has to go to committee, but to keep that date in mind.

Greenspon said she was recently stopped by a parent who was excited about the ELP program and they would like to see more opportunities besides just the math. She also visited Western Hills last week and she is impressed with the school and she thanked Principal Beth Thornton for showing her the school. She said it warms her heart to see such wonderful teachers and administrators working in our district.

Carroll asked about the replacement at the high school. Remy said we are still in conversation at the Superintendency level. She said we hope to finalize those thoughts by Wednesday. Greenspon asked what the process will be. Remy said it depends. She said that a high school position is a hard position to fill, especially when we are already in May. She said she would have concerns about the quality of candidates that we could attract. So there are options A, B, and C, which range from hiring an interim to appointing from within.

Brennan said she wanted to report about the Polk County Conference Board. She said the committee will meet next year and there are two people who are applying for the position of assessor. She reported that she and Dr. Remy went to the city/school meeting. She said it was a quick meeting, but there was good conversation. She said the city is looking into sharing services. The one thing they specifically brought up was lawn care and snow removal on the City/School campus. The superintendent for Waukee also talked about the successes they had with outsourcing. She said the group will meet again in June and to have some research completed by then. She also noted the Board is going through the superintendent’s annual evaluation later during the closed session.

VII. Open Enrollment: It was moved by Carroll and seconded by Greenspon to deny one request to open enroll out the district for being late and not meeting good cause stipulations. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote. The following open enrollment requests were approved by the administration and presented for Board review: 2013 – 2014 IN Name Grade From To Reason Murillo, Paige 9 Waukee WDM continuation Rodriguez, Fermin Jr. pk DMPS WDM continuation Webb, Jacob 2 Waukee WDM continuation 2013- 2014 OUT Name Grade From To Reason Davis, Ava K WDM DMPS continuation Devoto, Mackenzie 7 WDM Waukee continuation Diekmann, Zoey 3 WDM Waukee continuation Gomez, Joahan 7 WDM Urbandale continuation Hildreth, Ty pk WDM Urbandale continuation Jackson, Lainie 8 WDM Waukee continuation Wood, Ashlyn 2 WDM Johnston continuation 2014 – 2015 IN Name Grade From To Reason Ahaya, Humberto K DMPS WDM met deadline* Krasniqu, Moniza K Waukee WDM met deadline Osman, Safa K DMPS WDM met deadline* Phillips, Adaya K DMPS WDM met deadline* Phillips, Arianna K DMPS WDM met deadline* Rodriguez, Fermin Jr. K DMPS WDM met deadline* Truex, Maya K Waukee WDM met deadline 2014- 2015 OUT Name Grade From To Reason Cummings, Violet 1 WDM Urbandale met deadline Gadberry, Braxton K WDM Van Meter met deadline Gvaillas-Gonzalez, Sophia K WDM Urbandale met deadline Helling, Benjamin 11 WDM Van Meter met deadline Hutchinson, Samantha K WDM Urbandale met deadline

Kephart, Sophia K WDM Ankeny met deadline Smoot, Emmarre K WDM Urbandale met deadline Weaver, Jackson K WDM DC-G met deadline VIII. Vision Survey: WDMCS Associate Superintendent Dr. Laurene Lanich said that for the Vision Survey report, teachers provided the surveys to students to complete. In terms of percentages, the highest K-12 response and the same in the previous year was, “At least one adult knows me and is an advocate for me and will lookout for me.” There is a dip between grades 6-7 and 7-8, Lanich reported. Areas that have declined over time, include, “People in my school are caring and I find joy in learning.” She said buildings are working on improvement. “I find joy in learning at school” was the lowest, she reported. She said half of schools use this data when they build their building goals day. Cole said he is glad the district is recapturing this data. He asked why some of the schools don’t use this data. Lanich said they use multi-sets of data and some data tools may be more aligned with what buildings are working on. For example, Stilwell uses this but also another tool, she said. Carroll asked if this is a required survey. Lanich said it was created in 2003 and is aligned with our mission and vision and we as a district conduct this, the state does not require it. She said the survey costs about $1,700, which is the cost to submit the scanned material and for data analysis. IX. Concurrent Representation Waiver – Ahlers: It was moved by Brown and seconded by Greenspon to approve to waive and consent to any actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest associate with Ahlers & Cooney P.C. (Ahlers) law firm’s representation of the City of West Des Moines and the West Des Moines Community School District with respect to the District’s 2014 Fairmeadows project. Bobek explained that The Ahlers & Cooney P.C. law firm represents both the West Des Moines CSD and the City of West Des Moines. In connection with the District’s 2014 Fairmeadows project, approval of the site plan, the City is requiring the district approve a street light agreement and an irrevocable offer of dedication for street right-of-ways. Under recent changes in attorney ethics, such a situation now requires certain disclosures and consent from both parties when the same law firm represents both parties in a transaction. In the Fairmeadows project, Ahlers represents the school district. In order for these negotiations to be completed under these new ethics standards, both of Ahlers clients need to provide consent. The City of West Des Moines has already agreed to this waiver. X. Hearing(s)

a. Fairmeadows Conveyance of Real Property: Brennan stated this agenda item is the time and place when interested individuals can express their views, both orally and in writing, on the proposed Fairmeadows Conveyance of Real Property. The Notice of Hearing was published in the Des Moines Register on April 17, 2014. Brennan asked the secretary whether any written objections have been filed. None were filed. Brennan then asked if there is anyone present who wishes to offer oral objections. No one present offered objections. It was moved by Cole and seconded by Lipman to close the hearing. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote.

XI. Facility Projects

a. Construction Project Update: Dan Solem of the Weitz, Co. said that when students are gone in May, crews will start to demolish the north parking lot. Under renovation, crews are in the speech and ensemble rooms. Painting is done in the drama room and the mirrors are being installed. On the renovation side, crews are looking at an August 1 completion date and all the renovation work will be completed when school starts. The curtain wall framing for the atrium will start Monday. The substantial completion date for the auditorium remains at October 15. The project remains at the $950,000 overage. He said there were several items in conjunction with Phase 1 and Phase II and this is the overages from the beginning of the project, including those from three or four years ago. Some of the larger overages were subflooring in wrestling room, renovation last summer on the ceiling in the pool areas that was replaced knowing that would be part of a five year timeframe. There was $25,000 in lighting of the pool. There was also $260,000 for the lift station and $108,000 for the mechanical systems not functioning in the band area.

b. City of WDM – Fairmeadows Street Light Installation: It was moved by Lipman and seconded by Brown to accept an agreement with the City of West Des Moines for payment of all costs associated with the installation of standard street poles and lights along the streets immediately abutting the Fairmeadows site at such time that overhead power is placed underground or as otherwise determined necessary by the City in a number and configuration as determined appropriate by the street light plan provided by MidAmerican Energy (or its successors) to the City and/or District. This agreement is a requirement of the Major Modification submitted for the 2014 Fairmeadows Elementary Renovation project. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote.

c. City of WDM – Fairmeadows Irrevocable Offer of Dedication for Street Right-of-Ways: It was moved by Lipman and seconded by Greenspon to approve the execution of the deed without warranty to the City of West Des Moines to provide Rights-of-Way along 19th Street, 23rd Street, and Prospect Avenue to meet the city’s current width for the current street classification. This is

Page 18: WORKSHOP MINUTES MINUTES April 28, 2014 I. Call to Order II. Roll Call III. Topic: Crossroads Park Elementary IV. Adjournment The workshop meeting of the Board of Education of the

an acceptable alternative to meet the city’s requirement for the Major Modification submitted for the 2014 Fairmeadows Elementary Renovation project. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote.

d. Encroachment Agreement - WDMCS Valley High School Phase 3B Project: It was moved by Lipman and seconded by Brown to approved an encroachment agreement that grant West Des Moines Community Schools the use of the pipeline easement for parking lot pavement, site landscaping, and site planting installations as shown in the construction contract documents; and describes the understanding that Buckeye Pipeline reserves the right to remove any paving and/or plantings within the easement parameters necessary to complete pipeline repairs or maintenance, noting that West Des Moines Community Schools is responsible for any/all repairs to any of the listed disturbed site amenities following any pipeline work completed by Buckeye Pipeline. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote.

XII. Contracts/Agreements

a. Des Moines Menace: It was moved by Brown and seconded by Greenspon to approve an agreement outlining the renewal agreement between West Des Moines Community Schools and The Des Moines Menace for the 2014 and 2015 soccer seasons for the use of Valley Stadium as their home stadium with a rental rate of $20,000 for up to 10 games per season (an increase from $15,000 for 12 games in the 2012 Agreement); a payment of $1500/game for any extra games; and a rate of $21.00/hour for all practices, academies, camps, or other field use and a district employee will be present; clarifications that have been added to the agreement include:

o The Valley Tiger Booster Club will be operating concessions, maintaining inventory control, and sharing revenues (75% VTBC, 25% Menace). Fireworks will be allowed1 night per season. Menace will provide WDMCS with appropriate written approvals 30 days prior to the display.

o WDMCS has right to enforce security and cleaning services billable to the Menace when WDMCS deems necessary. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote.

b. Group Insurance Amendments: Standard Insurance Co. National Insurance Services of Wisconsin, Inc.

It was moved by Brown and seconded by Greenspon to approve an amendment to the group policy with Standard Insurance Company, the District’s life insurance provider, and National Insurance Services of Wisconsin, Inc., the District’s LTD insurance provider, to define these categories: 1. An active Superintendent or Administrator employee of the Employer working the minimum number of hours per week as

stated in your employment contract. 2. An active certified employee of the Employer contracted for a minimum of 50% time. 3. An active employee of the Employer who is regularly working at least 30 hours each week. The amendment request will: 1. Define Class 3 members: Supervisors, Specialists, Managers, Technology, Payroll Coordinator, Non-Unit Support Staff

and WDMCS Certified Staff. 2. Amend definition of child to the end of the month in which the child turns 26. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote.

c. WDMEA Tentative Agreement: It was moved by Brown and seconded by Greenspon to approve the tentative agreement between the West Des Moines Community School District Board of Directors and the West Des Moines Education Association with several updates in the contract language. There is a change is the TSS distribution from 50/50 to 60% indexed and 40% per FTE; an increase in the BA Base of 2.50%; for a total package increase, including the increase in the Board’s contribution to TSS , all salary related items, all applicable payroll taxes including increases in payroll taxes, increases in IPERS, and all insurance costs including new fees, will be 3.67%. Remy noted this is a very fair settlement and that it is below the state average, which is about 3.8-4.2 percent. Carroll said two months ago the district cut $2.7 million in the budget. This puts $1.7 million of additional new costs back in the budget, he said. The district will deficit spend about $3.8 million, he noted. He said this means the district doesn’t have enough from its operating budget so it is borrowing. He said the district is cutting FTEs, but it is adding new costs. For the average community member the math does not make a lot of sense. He said he wants to support teachers and raises. He said he would like to see continued conversation to be sustainable and conversations must continue. Cole said the district found itself between a rock and a hard place and we had to react in a responsible way. He said previously there was criticism that there were decisions made by a few people. He said previously there was not full funding from the federal government and there are sacred cows that people could not give up. He said there are more conversations to be had, but we can’t do it in one fell swoop. In terms of the teachers, they too deserve some additional revenue for additional expenditures for the costs of living. He said he was at the LRC the night the decision was made. He said there was give and take and people came out of the conversation pleased. They were happy to have a modicum of increase. No one group are responsible for the budget situation.

Lipman said that she absolutely agrees with Carroll in theory, but the opposite side of that is if we want our best and brightest to stay we have to do this. When you look at what you actually want to happen in the schools, you have to do this. Remy said there are many schools in the metro area and we want the best to come to us. She said our neighboring districts are increasing to more than four percent. We have had a nice cushion, but that is decreasing overtime. As other districts are looking at our contracts and adding the benefits that we have, we lose our competitive edge. The motion was approved on a 6-1 vote with Carroll voting no.

d. PCTC Agreement: It was moved by Brown and seconded by Lipman to approve an agreement to allow Heartland AEA to

access through the general ledger accounting system IFAS the District’s data and Johnston’s data which will allow the AEA to share with the district and Johnston some of the custom software applications the AEA has already written but unable to share with the district because they do not have access to the districts’ data files. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote.

e. FYE14 Audit Arrangement Letter: It was moved by Brown and seconded by Greenspon to approve an Arrangement Letter with Bohnsack & Frommelt LLP to perform independent audit services for fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote.

XIII. Board Policies – 300 Series and 502.7A, 502.7B, 503.1 and 908: This item was tabled. XIV. 2014 Valley High School Graduates: It was moved by Cole and seconded by Greenspon to approve the 627 2014 graduates as presented, contingent upon the completion of all graduation requirements as outlined by the policies of the West Des Moines Community School District. In the event there are extenuating circumstances in which a student meets graduation requirements after the Board approves the 2014 list of graduates, the President of the Board and the superintendent will be authorized to add the qualifying student’s name to this approved list. Any additions will be presented to the Board for review at their next regularly scheduled meeting. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote. XV. Establish Hearing: 2013-14 Certified Budget Amendment: It was moved by Carroll and seconded by Lipman to set a hearing for 7:00 p.m. on May 12, 2014 at the Learning Resource Center for those who wish to present to the Board objections to, or arguments in favor of, any part of the proposed amendment to the 2013–2014 certified budget. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote. XVI. Financial Report – March 2014; the financial reports for the nine months ending March 31, 2014 were presented for review. XVII. Resolution Naming Depositories: It was moved by Lipman and seconded by Greenspon to approve the following resolution:

BE IT RESOLVED by the West Des Moines Community School District of West Des Moines, Iowa in Polk and Dallas County, Iowa; that we do hereby designate the following named banks as required by Iowa Code 12C.2 to be depositories of the West Des Moines Community School District funds in amounts not to exceed the amount named opposite each of said designated depositories and the school district treasurer is hereby authorized to deposit the school district funds in amounts not to exceed in the aggregate the amounts named for said banks as follows, to-wit: Name of Depository Location Maximum Deposit Maximum Deposit In effect under prior under this resolution Resolution West Bank West Des Moines N/A $100,000,000 Bankers Trust Company Des Moines N/A $50,000,000 Iowa Schools Joint Investment Trust Des Moines N/A $50,000,000
