2011 6:30: p.m.
The regular monthly meeting of the Big Pine Elementary Academy Board of Directors was called to order at 6:33 p.m.
PLEDGE OF ALLIEGIANCE:
ROLL CALL TO ESTABLISH QUORUM: PRESENT: Drew Haggard; Jay McDaniel; Kristie Killam and Tina Sizing. ABSENT: Phillip Hughes.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA: The agenda was approved as presented.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT: The administrative report was given by Cathy Hoffman, Executive Administrator. Her opening comments covered subject areas such as: spelling bee information; that the financial report received from MCSD is still being reviewed; we are in receipt of new numbers from the state department, reflecting that they have made ‘ a one time’ adjustment ; also that we are currently addressing the expenditures that are reflected as being ‘withheld’ from our FTE payments from MCSD.
The main focus within the school is the FCAT Writing Test that our fourth graders will be taking on Tuesday, Mach 1st. Our big event outside of the school itself, is the PTO Annual Boondocks’ Fundraiser, scheduled for Saturday, February 26th.
We have met with the representatives from the modular units for classroom space and we will forward that pricing information to you as soon as it is made available to us. More information on the concept at our meeting on Tuesday.
Informed the board that we have completed ‘count week.’ We have 4 (four) additional students…would equate to $4,000 per student. This, she added, will pay for our pending transportation costs. We are obligated to provide for our transportation. We average about 20 students at approximately $1,200 per student. We need to look into some program that may be available to offer ‘cost savings.’
Continued by informing the board that the teachers have asked to address the board with some concerns they have with respect to the new negotiated salary agreement between MCSD and the teachers union and that impact on them here at BPA. She noted that Tina Sizing will be addressing the board with this information.
President, Drew Haggard has requested an ‘executive session’ of the board to discuss Cathy’s (the executive director’s) contract renewal.
Announced that she was very pleased to welcome Dr. Arthur Szeglin who has agreed to join our board of directors and that she is looking forward to working with him.
Page 2: BPA Board meeting minutes 2/15/2011:
At this time, President Haggard requested that Dr. Szeglin, would take a few minutes to tell the board and guests about his background, a verbal autobiography, so to speak, and his interest in becoming a BPA board member.
At the conclusion of his comments, Dr. Szeglin, asked President Haggard if he had any advice for him regarding the direction he should take to fulfill this position he was about to take on. President Haggard informed him that the BPA meetings are scheduled for the 3rd Tuesday of each month, unless there are conflicting events and the board members are given advance notice to enable them to adjust their meeting schedules accordingly. He asked Dr. Szeglin to “learn about our school, get to know our kids, offer some ideas that you may have, just become an active part of our educational process.”
APPROVED: Approved the appointment of Dr. Arthur Szeglin as a member of the Big Pine Academy Board of Directors.
APPROVED THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS:
Approval of the minutes of the January 18, 2011, Big Pine Elementary Academy Board Meeting
DISCUSSION ITEMS/CONCERNS:
An informal discussion was opened by Mrs. Tina Sizing, BPA Board member and teacher liason, who spoke on behalf of the teaching staff, ‘in general.’ When the teachers at BPA were hired, she stated, they were told that their salaries would ‘mirror’ the salaries schedule of the Monroe County School District ‘ with a 7% increase. Then, the Big Pine Board approved their salary increases and benefits which would reflect 3% above the MCSD contract.
At the beginning of this year, MCSD did not have a contract in place. BPA Board met and decided there would not be a salary increase, and elected to give 3 extra days off to compensate for a salary increase. Further comment by Mrs. Sizing was that ‘if there needed to be a variance, the staff should have been involved – and in fairness, future meetings throughout the school year with the board and teachers should be put in place.”
The bottom line, she continued, in contract preparations should address steps; health insurance and should be included in the contracts.
In review: MCSD’s contract reflects 196 days and BPA contract reflects 194 days. BPA matches up to 3% of the teachers salary to be applied to their 401k contribution.
Board member, Jay McDaniel, has taken on the task to organize and codify a contract/draft to be competitive with MCSD. Goal is to be at or above MCSD salary schedule; review salary schedules for both MCSD and Charter Schools, and to develop a salary schedule for BPA. This board doesn’t have the desire to take anything away from the current salary and/or benefits, he added, ‘hence forth’, review ‘sick leave payouts’; investigate other school district’s policies and review contract language to enable
Page 3: BPA Board Meeting 2/15/2011:
BPA to establish an agreeable ‘sick leave payout plan. Acceptable to both parties. We are looking to develop a 3 (three) year salary schedule.’
Additional concerns brought before the board by Mrs. Sizing:
Concern about going to 7th grade – space? Current conditions? Adding 2 portables?
Are there legal statues in reference to: preparation time? Are there minutes regarding prep-time?
Notes by the chairman: This discussion should be deferred until the next meeting. The BPA board is currently waiting for proposals in reference to the portables.
PUBLIC FORUM:
PTO President, Jessika Rady informed the board that some tabulation of the ‘volunteers hours’ has been compiled, as of 2/1/2011. Information had been forwarded to Brian Gladwell and summarized. forms were to be distributed to the classroom teachers and parents/volunteers will be reviewing same and additions and/or deletions were to be noted. BPA Board members are to receive final accounting of hours completed/monetary values and accounting of those persons who elected to make cash/check payments to the school in the absence of volunteer hours actually worked.
MOVED TO RECESS TO AN
‘EXECUTIVE SESSION.’
(EXECUTIVE SESSION
7:58 P.M. – 8:07 P.M.)
MOVED: Agreed to renew Cathy Hoffman’s contract ( a three (3) year contract) with the literature, compensation language, pending the approval of the board and the Executive Administrator.
MOVED: To adjourn. There being no further business to come before the board, the meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m.

ADMINIISTRATIVE REPORT: Cathy Hoffman, Executive Administrator, presented highlights of her administrative report which included reporting that the ‘second nine week grading period ends on January 20’; The district closes for professional development on Friday the 21st., noted: we are using that day as our first make-up day for the two days of Thanksgiving. Technology classes will begin the week of January 24 and plans are to have full wireless access in the cafeteria area for these classes.
General discussion regarding BPA’s plans for next year has become a priority. BPA’ members and our administrator have approached the district regarding our needs for next year in regards to 7th grade. Definite decisions as to our plans so that parents and students can begin their planning. i.e. consideration of a new addition and/or another portable unit to enable us to move forward.
Addressing another issue: we have a larger than typical kindergarten class and need to make some decisions about first grade. Myself and Kelli Berger, Kindergarten teacher, have been looking at some ideas with respect to the development of a split Kindergarten/First Grade class.
Reminded the board that we have been awarded a School Recognition Award in the amount of $7,164. Pursuant to Section 1008.36, Florida Statues, the funding must be used for the following: ‘a: Non-recurring bonuses to the faculty and staff; b: Non-recurring expenditures for educational equipment or materials to assist in maintaining and improving student performance; or c: Temporary personnel may be hired to assist the school in maintaining or improving student performance.
Other regulations require that teachers vote to determine how the money should be spent and then it requires board approval.

Noted that the ‘Second Count Week’ is coming up February 7 – 11. Current enrollment reflects 120 students (126 with Special Ed weighted students) grades K-6. October count we had 115 students (121 with Special Ed weighted count) in grades K-6. The five extra students for the second half of the year should generate approximately $15,000 to $20,000.

A general discussion regarding ‘current employment contracts’ was introduced by President Haggard, relating that he had met with Executive Director, Cathy Hoffman and shared conversation regarding the need to review same.

Offer to upgrade existing , by Mr. McDaniel, and to make another effort to contact Mr. Andy Tobin, Attorney for BPA, to
