WORKSHOP MINUTES August 25, 2014

I. Call to Order II. Roll Call III. Topic: FPP – 5 Year Financial Forecast IV. Request for Closed Session: [Iowa Code 21.5 (1) (j)] To discuss the purchase or sale of particular real estate only where premature disclosure could be reasonably expected to increase the price the governmental body would have to pay for that property or reduce the price the governmental body would receive for that property. V. Motion to Reconvene from Closed Session into Regular Session VI. Adjournment The workshop of the Board of Education of the West Des Moines Community School District was held on Monday, August 25, 2014, at the Learning Resource Center, 3550 Mills Civic Parkway, West Des Moines, Iowa 50265. I. Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by Vice President David J. Brown at 5:15 p.m. II. Roll Call: The secretary noted the following Board members present: David J. Brown, Kevin Carroll, H. Milton Cole, Tali Greenspon, Andi Lipman, and Vicky Poole. Absent: Elizabeth Brennan. III. Topic: FPP – 5 Year Financial Forecast: West Des Moines Community Schools Chief Financial Officer Paul Bobek noted the items on the agenda for the workshop this evening. He introduced Gary Sinclair from PMA Financial Network-Financial Planning Program, which works in partnership with the Iowa Association of School Boards. Bobek explained the program provides financial projections. He noted the booklet provided and explained that he will review the preliminary look at fiscal year 2014. He said it is preliminary because the fiscal year is not closed yet. Bobek explained the certified annual report is due September 15 to the Iowa Department of Education. Sinclair reviewed the financial planning programing, which contains a five-year financial history, elements for projecting for five years, and more. Sinclair said the program creates an Aid & Levy report for 11 years. PMA takes into account several variables and makes the best professional estimate. The variables include enrollment, interest, tuition in, allowable growth, and much more. He said this also includes importing the teacher salary steps to project forward on salary. Through this, PMA projects a base scenario. He said it is important for the Board to understand the variables the district has set for the key revenue assumptions, such as enrollment, allowable growth, and more. There are 150 variables. He noted that PMA has projected a flat enrollment for the district, but this may be adjusted based on the enrollment study the district is currently undergoing. He said they also develop a staffing ratio, based on enrollment. In addition, PMA determines key expenditure assumptions. Sinclair reviewed key assumptions for benefits, such as FICA, IPERS, medical insurance, and dental insurance. Several of these areas are projected to be flat, such as FICA and dental insurance. He also noted the reductions made the previous year. PMA will then develop a history for the past five years, for both revenue and expenditures. The booklet provided showed a projection into the future for revenue and expenditures and surplus/deficit. At this point there are deficits shown, but they will be adjusted when reductions are made again this year. Greenspon noted the report indicates the district will be down $9.2 million. Bobek noted that this is fund balance, not the unspent balance, which is what the district has been watching because this is what the Iowa Department of Education tracks. Remy noted that this amount is also for the past year, which the district is closing out. Sinclair noted page 14 of the handout, which showed the district prior to the approved reductions for fiscal year 2015. He said the district is now potentially looking at a negative $2.4 million and the district would have had a negative $5 million if reductions had not been made. Sinclair then reviewed the tax rate summary and the unspent authorized budget report, which calculates the maximum spending authority the district could spend. Page 4 of 90

Greenspon asked when the district will know the amount it will need to reduce for next year. Sinclair said one key piece of information that PMA must have is the final numbers for the 2014 school year. She also asked if cuts would need to be make in one, two, or three years. Sinclair said there are two philosophies; one is cut all and once and get it done, and the other is to do it overtime. Remy said that the district will know fiscal year 2014 about mid-September and then enrollment in October, and these are two pieces of significant information the district needs to have before it can move forward. She said that is why we can’t give a specific number to reduce yet. Brown asked if the model the Board is seeing today assumes the district will get additional spending authority for its English Language Learner program. Bobek said no, it will change. Sinclair noted that the district would have had significant issues if it had not made reductions last year, based on the current status of the projections. He noted that there are compounding effects of reductions in the out years. Sinclair then reviewed the calendar of financial-related dates, noting that when information is updated and the projections are updated. He said the next step is to finalize fiscal year 2014 and update all reports and start the process for converting fiscal year 2015. He said there are 18 districts using the full PMA tool. Bobek said it is the most comprehensive tool on school finance forecasting that exists. Poole said Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Waukee, Johnston and others are using the full version of the tool. Sinclair said the tool was developed by a nationally recognized school finance entity, and this is used by districts in other states. IV. Request for Closed Session: [Iowa Code 21.5 (1) (j)] To discuss the purchase or sale of particular real estate only where premature disclosure could be reasonably expected to increase the price the governmental body would have to pay for that property or reduce the price the governmental body would receive for that property: It was moved by Greenspon and seconded by Poole to hold a closed session as provided by Iowa Code 21.5 (1) (j) to discuss the purchase or sale of particular real estate where premature disclosure could be reasonably expected to increase the price the governmental body would have to pay for that property or reduce the price the governmental body would receive for that property. Roll call vote: Kevin Carroll, yes; H. Milton Cole, yes; Tali Greenspon, yes; Andi Lipman, yes; Vicky Poole, yes; David J. Brown, yes. The closed session convened at 6:01 p.m. V. Motion to Reconvene from Closed Session into Regular Session: It was moved by Carroll and seconded by Greenspon to reconvene the Board of Education from closed session into the regular meeting for the purpose of discussion and/or approval of a topic reviewed in closed session.

V. Superintendent’s Report: West Des Moines Community Schools Superintendent Dr. Lisa Remy turned her report over to Associate Superintendent of Human Resources Carol Seid, who introduced several new administrators in the district. She first introduced David Perrigo. He thanked the Board and said he is extremely excited to join the WDMCS and Valley High School. He said the first four days have been outstanding. He is learning as many names as possible and getting into classrooms, which has been awesome. He said his previous building of 280 doesn’t rival Valley. Seid said Brady Weber is now assistant principal and activities director at Stilwell. She said people have shared that he is extremely student-centered and responsible. He has high expectations for all. He is a serious student of education and he is a great collaborator. He thanked the Board and said it is an honor to serve at Stilwell in his new capacity. Seid said Eric Boyle is now principal of Stilwell. Comments shared with her about Boyle include that he has the ability to relate to students, staff, and families. He excels in all that he does and he has strong people skills. He is reliable and well-respected and holds himself and others to high standards. Boyle thanked the Board for the opportunity. He said he has large shoes to fill, now working in the position Tim Miller held. Boyle said he has been given many opportunities to learn and he is honored and humbled to be building principal at Stilwell. Seid said Brandon Pierce is now Principal of Fairmeadows. Comments shared about Pierce are that he shows strong leadership. He uses data and measures effectiveness of his teachers, staff, and building as a whole. Pierce thanked the Board for the opportunity to lead in a different capacity. He said the students have experienced a smooth start to the school year and the adults in the building are working to be as flexible as our students in moving into the remodeled Fairmeadows. Cole made the following comments: “Tonight is an exciting night — an exciting new start as we are formally introduced to four administrators and their new place of assignment here in the WDMCS. I have had the pleasure of making my way to their assigned schools to meet, greet, and welcome them on board. This was a pleasure. The newest of the new to our district is David Perrigo at Valley High School. (As opposed to David M. – Maxwell – as we would have noted in elementary school.) David makes his way back to WDMCS, as he previously served as an assistant football coach at Valley Southwoods after a very impressive educational journey as teacher, assistant principal, building principal, football coach, and more from a wide variety of settings here in Iowa. We are honored that you have chosen to join us “David P.” Moving to Stilwell, we welcome the placement of two outstanding educators. First of all Eric Boyle has been selected to be the principal of the building. After having served as the assistant administrator at this Grand Avenue educational setting under the guidance and leadership of Mr. Tim Miller, Eric is more than ready to assume the role of building leader. Having worked with Mr. Boyle as a “Stilwell Dad-Lunchtime Volunteer, I was impressed with Eric’s outstanding capacity to relate to not only staff but students. After having considered a number of people “to fill Tim Miller’s shoes” one “stood out above the crowd.” That person is Eric Boyle. Continued best of luck and good cheer in your expanded responsibilities at Stilwell, Eric. Working along with Mr. Boyle at Stilwell is newly selected Assistant Principal Brady Weber, who transitions from a second floor classroom at Stilwell to the first floor main office. Brady has a stellar reputation as a classroom instructor in addition to an outstanding reputation as a molder of young men while serving as the Valley High School baseball coach. Valley’s most recent baseball season took the team to the state baseball tournament where the Tigers fought and scraped every step of the way to conclude what was an outstanding season. As impressive as Mr. Weber’s baseball leadership was, the fact that preceding each practice day at the Valley baseball field or each game day, Mr. Weber would be on the road by 4 a.m. each morning to drive to UNI to take administrative course work and then trek back to WDMCS for his athletic responsibilities. Very impressive Mr. Weber — very impressive. Best wishes. Brandon Pierce is the fourth person that we acknowledge tonight with his transition from Clive Elementary to Fairmeadows Elementary.

Under Brandon’s leadership, Clive is known to be a school that is innovative in meeting a wide variety of socio-economic challenges. Moving to Fairmeadows, Brandon will follow in the footsteps (although not necessarily in the shoes) of Carol Seid and, most recently, Nancy Moorhead in the newly refurbished building. Best of luck, Brandon in your new assignment and thanks for answering the call. So Gentlemen, please accept your individual (recently refurbished with white paint) golf clubs as an indication that I am sure — absolutely convinced without question, without reservation — that each of you will be a top of “The Leaderboard” because of your leadership in your respective buildings. West Des Moines Community Schools are very fortunate to have each of you on board. Thank you, David! Thank you, Eric! Thank you, Brady! Thank you, Brandon! Remy reported on the recent active shooter drill at Valley Southwoods, stating that she is pleased the district went through the drill. She said the planning with the police department was very detailed. All the organizations said afterwards that all the entities have great plans, but there is always room to improve. She said the district will continue to planning, specifically regarding reunification and the recovery from an event. VI. Board Reports a. Superintendent’s Advisory Board Policy Committee: Poole reported that the committee has not met. b. Superintendent’s Advisory Facility & Finance Committee: Lipman reported that everything discussed at the meeting is on the agenda. c. Superintendent’s Advisory Human Resources Committee: Poole reported that the committee has not met. d. Superintendent’s Advisory Teaching & Learning Committee: Greenspon said the committee will meet tomorrow. x Cole submitted the following written report: It was the best “Welcome Back” ever. The August event at Valley Southwoods was marked by joy with educators rendezvousing after the summer break, with food morsels from food services. The Valley student body was represented in word and song. The two profession-organizing workers group were marked by two outstanding speakers. School Board Vice President David Brown was Blue Ribbon in his words of appreciation and personal journey as a parent of three sons (outstanding sons!!!) that have been educated in the WDMCS. David, you were “Five Stars”… “A+”… “Blue Ribbon” — the best yet during five participations in Welcome Back gatherings. Carol Seid, you were “fantastique” in your heartfelt, warm, engaging comments of welcome, explanation, and information. “Thank you” does not extol nearly enough my appreciation. And… and… and… I save the accolade of accolades… the outstanding recollection of Dr. Remy. The comments made by Lisa were so very helpful, enlightening, and informative as to where education has been, where it is now, and suggestions of how we might better orchestrate education to meet students today, in the near future, and — of equal significance — beyond. I heard that leaders working as a team will result in outstanding education beyond our imagination. Thank you, Lisa, for your message that utilized slides, information, reminders, statistics, facts, music, and movement. Movement you might ask? Well, no one has really been welcomed back until they experienced all of the above coupled with “fleet-of-foot” Dr. Lisa Remy. She shed her nine-inch patent-leather heals of the 2013 Welcome Back and replaced them with what was described to me as “basic black flats.” Lisa was a dancing machine! She out-danced T.V. star Ellen DeGeneres (sorry, Ellen). Had Lisa participated in Dancing with the Stars with Shawn Johnson, Lisa would have received the “gold award” and Shawn would have been relegated to silver (sorry, Shawn). One all levels, Lisa you were “golden” – you were the best! x Poole said it is a pleasure to see the administrators here tonight. Kudos to a great start to the school year. She said she would like to go into the classrooms where teachers are taking a leap of faith and she would like to sing our praises because we don’t do that enough. She reported that the school websites are looking good. She would also like the express kudos to the administrators for implementing new standards at the stadium. x Greenspon reported that she was able to see Valley registration. She gave kudos the Andi Lipman for making the registration very smooth and organized. She said the start of the school year is very challenging and she is sure it was wonderful at every school. She said at her daughter’s school it was well organized and kids were happy. She thanked all the administrators for making the beginning of the school year positive for all kids. VII. 2013-14 Summative School Improvement Reports: Remy thanked the building administrators who work day in and day out with their staff for students and she thanked them for keeping students in the forefront of every decision. She thanked them for taking time out of their day to provide their summative reports. Hillside Elementary Dr. Robert Davis said the school made safe harbor in reading and math under No Child Left Behind. The school is off the school in need of assistance list for mathematics and needs to reach achievement goals for one more year in reading to be removed in this area. He then reviewed what this means in terms of No Child Left Behind. Davis said this required a 10 percent improvement in every subgroup for every target. There are about 10-12 categories and Hillside has students represented in every subgroup. He attributes the improvement to the efforts to have measurable goals. He noted the goals in the booklet provided. Staff are holding conversations about proficiency in reading. The new curriculum in reading has helped, reading block has assisted, and working on improving small group reading instruction has also lead to improvement. Hillside was selected as a MTSS pilot school, one of 90 schools in the state. Hillside will continue to use the common core and deepen the understanding of the reading process in the K-6 setting.

Crossroad Park Elementary Principal Britt Cameron said his school’s goal was to increase achievement data in reading. Fountas & Pinnell assessment results, the school met its goal for the percent of students in the meeting or exceeding range in grades one through four. Scores remained the same in grade five and in grade six there was a decrease. He provided further information on the test scores. Cohort scores on the Iowa Assessments increased for fourth graders, with grades five and six decreasing. Reading teachers and fifth and sixth grade teachers are reviewing student interventions. He would like to carve out 20-30 minutes two or three times a week to implement those interventions. He said the time allotted would be more effective and efficient. Teachers are also reviewing how the school utilizes reading resource staff. The school uses them at the primary levels, but he would like to look at creative ways to provide extra assistance in upper grades. The school will continue with learning targets, differentiation, and formative assessments to best meet the needs of students. He said the school had extra assistance for implementation of the new reading program and had 25 teachers participate with coaches. Walnut Creek Campus Principal Dr. Kim Davis reported that her school’s work looks different from the other schools. She reviewed the school’s goals. The data show that student who are with them for their entire high school career improve academically. She said her student population is fluid. The school has a large population of parents who are not native English speakers. A family liaison called each parent to invite them to the teacher conferences and all calls to parents were in Spanish and in English. The personal call substantially increased parent participant in conferences. Davis said they have implemented a school orientation class. The school tracks students by the number of credits, not by class. They also implemented RTI or now MTSS and academic interventions. The school collects student data in order to provide interventions with students earlier. Plans are developed for students who are not progressing academically, and these include behavior, socialization, and more. Last year staff made 3,000 calls regarding students who are not attending; a lot of effort is put into getting students to school. She said that they have also implemented a survey about motivation, well-being, and more to gather data to provide targeted interventions. This year they will do pre- and post-tests. Valley Southwoods Principal Mitch Kuhnert reported there has been a lot of change over the last few years. The building’s goals align with the district’s goal, which is to reduce the achievement gap. The school also addresses the relationship component. AIW is still a big part of professional develop. The focus for the entire building was to score one piece of instruction and he explained this work. He noted PLC work continues. The main focus last year was to make sure learning targets are aligned to the core and getting to common assessments. Enrollment in advanced courses has increased. The goal was to have all E20/20 courses completed, and that was accomplished last year. The next area is relationships and the school had advisory for the first time this past year. The school will no longer have teaming this year due to budget reductions. He said the school will have a harder time to meeting the needs of struggling students because each core teacher will no longer have one resource period. The new schedule this year, which now is a modified block, aligns more with Valley’s schedule. He said that there is limited funds for the Success Center, which is funded for at-risk funds. He noted that special education teachers still do teaming. There was further discussion about the resource classes and the impact of the change. Valley High School Principal Tim Miller reported that he was not at the school last year, so he will focus on what is ahead. Registration was very smooth and a positive experience, and he thanked Andi Lipman for her work. Miller thanked the administrators for helping him understand Valley when he first started. He said they have helped him get off to a good start. He thanked and commended the Valley staff for welcoming him. He said they were very receptive. He saw teachers in the hallways helping and showing students that they were glad to be there. There were teachers at the doors welcoming the students. He said Valley teachers are a bright, tremendous group of educators. The focus for the year will be to have goals aligned with the district goals, which were established by the School Board. The school will develop action steps to bring about improvement. He said the goals guide us with our goals and we want our action steps to align with the district. The staff will work on EEI, learning targets, differentiation, and professional learning communities. There are challenges to do this because of the size and structure of a large high school. He said meeting in PLC requires some rescheduling. The school will continue to work on PLPs and building those relationships. Valley will continue to work on AIW and there is a group of people who are excited about this work. The school will continue to build relationship with kids. He said there excitement at the school and the building will continue to build on it. Indian Hills Junior High Principal Shane Christensen said this is his 10th year at Indian Hills and the Board will hear more about the school during its visit to the building. The Indian Hills School Improvement goal was to improve the percentage of students in the proficient range for reading, math and science. The staff used the strategies of AIW in teams and departments. The staff also used the PLC process to improve the EEI strategies of differentiation and common assessments in both teams and departments. In addition, they targeted students who were not proficient in reading and math for math and reading resource classes. Staff also practiced reading and critical thinking skills in Tiger Time. Data on the 2014 Iowa Assessments showed growth of 7th graders to 8th grade of 3.1 years in reading, 1.9 years in math, and 4.3 years in science on average. Indian Hills increased the percent of students in the proficient range by 6% in reading, 5% in math, and 12.5% in science. Indian Hills was able to increase the number of students who were proficient in all subgroups but did not meet safe harbor on the Iowa Assessments for English Language Learners in reading and Low SES students in math. All other subgroups including special education improved enough to have Safe Harbor. The 2014 Stretching Minds staff was especially excited about the growth of Indian Hills and Stilwell students this summer in Stretching Minds. Preliminary data shows that of the students who successfully completed the program by attending a minimum of five weeks out of six, the average growth in reading and in math was 1.5 years with some students making as much as 3 years of growth over 6 weeks in reading and/or math using the ALEKS and iReady programs along with direct instruction by

Page 12 of 90

teachers. Westridge Elementary Principal Mary Jane Stites reported that the school is bursting at the seams with kindergartners. She said as new students are coming from other schools, they will look at adding information. Assistant Principal Brian Vaughn reported that last year he was part of different committees and the iSpin and iCare committees were doing many of the same things. He said they have a climate and culture goals. There was nothing wrong, but the school must keep up with the changing demographics. The leadership committee reviewed data to help work on climate and culture goals. He noted the areas they are working on for improvement. He said they are looking at a Responsive Classroom, where there is a classroom meeting each morning. Some teachers came to him regarding the Leader in Me program. He explained the philosophy, which is the Stephen Covey program. He said staff has done Seven Habits training and they will transition this work to the classroom with an accompanying goal. Jordan Creek Principal Graham Jones reported that for the past four or five years the school has been talking about professional learning communities. He said last year his staff went to a conference and noted that they have been talking about PLC, but really want to look deeper at it this year. They are focused on what they should be looking at in terms of data, common assessments, and more. He noted the two reading goals and a character goal. He said the Benchmark Literacy goals have been helpful. He said they focused on the data benchmarks with Fountas & Pinnell and Iowa Assessments. He noted that there have been improvements in data. IEP students have struggled the most and they are looking about how to get students involved in core plus more, having them in the classroom. He said they also increased in low SES. He said they also looked at proficient students and moving them into the high proficiency level. He said Jordan Creek has increased 3.9 percent in the advanced range and 10.5 percent in the Iowa Assessments. Their third goal is a character goal and staff are looking at the school culture and how to decrease referrals. He said the Olweus Bullying Prevention survey helped pinpoint areas. The school’s KidsCare Club has more 100 students and parents involved, and other efforts have led to a decrease in referrals. There was a discussion about an online learning opportunity for advanced math students at the elementary working with a junior high teachers through an online classroom, so students do not need to travel to another building during the day. Western Hills Principal Beth Thornton said last year the goal was to increase reading comprehension. This was worked on with an increased reading block with teacher assistance and other extra intervention. This year they are adding an academic vocabulary and looking at Robert J. Marzano’s work. She said one of the things the school does well is relationships. She said we teach children to learn about the common areas of the school. This year they are adding a classroom component. She said staff members use whole-brain teaching, exemplified in Terry Soto or Mike Beranek’s classrooms. She said many teachers are studying this area. The school is also using a data system regarding referrals and better understanding the details of this data. She said teachers went to training regarding interventions. She said there is a check in and check out system. She said the school is also working on creating a welcoming environment, providing a free dinner to parents of the school. She said they are also conducting PTO meetings on Saturdays and hold family movie nights. Teachers are also studying how to engage students of poverty in the classroom. Past Clive Elementary Principal and current Fairmeadows Elementary Principal Brandon Pierce reported on both schools. He said Clive started the year working on math, specifically aligning instruction with the common core and use of a universal screener. He said they are also working with PLCs. Teachers were also developing formative assessments. On the district assessment, student scores remained stable and on the Iowa Assessment scores increased slightly. One of the concerns is the school being identified as a school in need of assistance under No Child Left Behind. He said staff are also working to move proficient students into the next level, and those scores have continued to grow over the past three years. He said Clive will likely continue to work on these areas this year. He said they will also continue implement Everyday Math and the Iowa Core with fidelity. At Fairmeadows Elementary, Pierce said that he is continuing to learn more about where they have been and where they are going, meeting people and knowing the physical building. He said staff members have been working on PLC, expanding AIW, and more. He said they are also working on identifying how to support students in reading and math, or the BAT process. He said they will take time in PLC to align teaching with the Iowa Core and looking at assessments to make sure students are learning what teachers are teaching in the classroom. Crestview Elementary Principal John Villotti reported that last year the school focused on teaching students what they didn’t know and assessing students to determine what they don’t know and teach them, with core plus and core plus, plus; moving kids from non-proficient to proficient and onward. He said the school started last year with 117 not proficient and ended with 89 not proficient. He said they are fine tuning and aligning assessments to help kids that are struggling. He said we are hoping this year to do this in reading and math. Stilwell Principal Eric Boyle reported that last year the school saw an increase in advance proficient and there was improvement in students’ non-proficient scores. He reported that the school is working on district goals set by the Board. He said the school did not meet math goal last year, so staff are working to assess areas of need and target interventions. He said teachers are pre-testing this week. He said we were able to eliminate a computer lab and provide Chrome books in the English classes. Another exciting initiative is implementing common assessments and reviewing in PLCs. There are seven days where both junior high buildings will meet to review the data, and align targets. He said when

Page 13 of 90

they start having conversations, teachers can look back to the common assessments. He said the building will continue to focus on relationships in Tiger Times, with Olweus. He noted Tim Miller’s impact on his life and Miller’s willingness to share his passions in life. With this in mind, Boyle has challenged his staff members to determine their one-word vision. Staff will have a card with picture and their reason for why they come to school each day. A mural is being made in the building of these cards. Staff members also had to make a video explaining their word. They will use their video to let people know why they are coming to work each days. Remy said she hopes the Board Members have seen why she feels so fortunate to be part of this team. She said she can’t thank the administrators enough for all they do to be prepared to work with their staff and their staff to work with our students. VIII.

IX. Facility Projects a. Construction Project Update: Dan Solem of the Weitz, Co., reported that crews are pulling thousands of feet of wire. The atrium glass will be worked on and the brick work will be done by the end of the week. Paving on the east side of the building will be done this week. West Des Moines Community Schools Construction Manager Steve Zbylicki addressed recent issues with the air-conditioning unit at Fairmeadows. He reported that repairs were made and the unit should be fully operational. Bobek reported that at Indian Hills there are air-conditioning issues. He said both chillers have sets of problems. One is working at 80 percent with a burnt-out compressor, which will be replaced tomorrow. The 250-ton chiller has holes and leaks in the terminal board and staff believe it can

Page 14 of 90

be repaired for the cooling season, but it will take more than three days for parts to be delivered and assembled. The district is working with Shive Hattery on the replacement of the chiller next summer as part of the facilities plan. He said the district is also looking at changing to a geothermal system. X.

V. SBRC Application for FYE ’13 ELL Deficit: It was moved by Lipman and seconded by Poole to approve School Budget Review Committee Application for FYE ’13 ELL Deficit, with “from 2007–2011” deleted from third paragraph on the second page of the program summary and “and” deleted from the 2010–2011 bullet in the fourth paragraph. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote. VI. Contracts/Agreements: It was moved by Poole and seconded by Cole to approve an contract with CIT Signature Transportation for a charter bus to transport up to 30 individuals, including teachers, administrators, community, and business leaders, for a New Tech Network school visit to Plymouth, Indiana, September 24–26, 2014, for a total round trip cost of $3,680.00 paid for using Title I categorical funds. Brennan said that when the district went through budget reductions last year, she stated that she hoped the district would not stop spending money to the detriment of the district. The New Tech Network is a good chance for the district to become a leader in education again, but to do that we need a lot of people on board. She said she is very much in favor of the charter bus to get as many people to the school as possible. Brennan left the proceedings, hanging up at around 12:14 p.m. Remy noted the elementary schools in the district that have been identified as schools in need of assistance under No Child Left Behind could be restructured as a New Tech schools. West Des Moines Education Associate teachers have attended each of the past trips taken and two teachers are invited on this trip. She said Board members, community leaders, parents, and some district staff would also be on the trip. Lipman asked about the number of people going. Remy said up to 30 people have been invited. In the past, the district did not need a charter bus, Lipman stated. Remy said the New Tech Network limits visits to 12 people, so a charter bus was not needed in the past. This time Remy said she make a request to bring two groups of people at once. Instead of taking two separate trips, she said a larger group would go at one time and see elementary through high school buildings. She said since she has been in the district, our way of doing business is to include many people. When the district involves people, its work goes much better because people are aware and informed. If the district is going to make a change to implement a New Tech school, it needs teachers and parents involved. It should not be a topdown decision; teachers need to be a part of the decision when it impacts the classroom. It is important for our community and parents to see where we are moving, Remy said. So that is the reason we are taking 30 people, versus half of that. She also noted that she investigated taking vans instead and vans would save about $1,200. Lipman said she has no problem with more people investigating, but she would rather see two groups go. Lipman said it is a slap in the face to people after the Board just learned the district may have a very large deficit and need to make cuts later this year, and it is taking a half-filled bus on a trip. She said she thinks it looks bad when the district overspends. Lipman said she is not making a comment on whether or not the New Tech Network is worth investigating, and she wishes she could learn. However, she is not supportive of the charter bus agreement. Remy said she is aware of the budget constraints in the general fund. She has also been charged by the Board to continue to look at innovative ways to provide students an education and for the district to continue to be leaders in learning. The district’s reputation as a leader was why she originally came to the district. To continue that excellence, the district needs to be innovative, she said. She also noted that there are more than 30 people interested in going on the trip. She feels she has been very responsible in studying the New Tech Network by going to Midwest schools, taking several people in one van, and using categorical funds to pay for the trips. The district has reserves in Title I that will be lost if the district does not use it, and it is looking at the New Tech model for the schools who are SINA schools, so it is an appropriate expense. Greenspon said she too thinks that the district is sending the wrong message spending $3,600 to go travel. Regardless of where the money is coming from, the district is sending the wrong message, and maybe there is another way people could travel that is less costly. Remy said vans were used for the trip to Sioux Falls. She said five vans could be used for this trip. Another benefit of a bus is the discussion and teambuilding that occurs while traveling six hours. In addition, the 30 individuals could debrief on the return trip instead of setting up another meeting when they get back. So, it is an efficient use of time, Remy said. Poole said the district has never hesitated to look at new programs thoroughly and implement them if appropriate. There is a hunger from the community to be the best and you get to be the best by maintaining traditions of excellence. When the Board hired Dr. Remy to be superintendent, the district felt a little stagnation for a period, and we are looking forward to keeping our tradition of excellence. She said she had many opportunities to travel as principal of Valley High School, and no one ever questioned how she would travel, as there was confidence that she would choose the best way to travel. She said she believes there is excitement about this and, if it is implemented, there will be many details to determine. All different views are important for implementation. She said the district moves slowly on things so they can be thoroughly vetted. She said she is supportive of the contract. Cole noted there is a conflict with the trip dates and a religious holiday, and he asked if Dr. Remy would come up with other possible dates. Remy said yes, she would do that and, in fact, has already started those conversations. Cole also said that when Dr. Poole arrived to Page 19 of 90

Valley, it was a school of renown, and she built on that. To look at expanded educational experiences, he said there should be further consideration and investigation of the New Tech Network. Of those who have visited the New Tech Schools so far, all participants have been enthusiastic to move forward. He said he knows many are interested in going and you will have many involved in the trip. He said people from the State of Iowa and universities have contacted the district about our interest in the New Tech Network. He noted that on a recent trip to a New Tech School, the trip back involved much discussion and this was vital. Lipman said that she wants to make it clear that she wants to learn about New Tech, but after the workshop and getting a preliminary look at the deficit the district will be facing, she feels the district does not have to have a Cadillac for the trip as it could take vans for a fraction of the cost. Greenspon said she is also supportive of investigating the New Tech Network and she would like to see the district be more fiscally responsible. Brown said Dr. Remy has articulated a strong case as why the charter bus is an appropriate use of Title I funds. Beyond that, he said he does not wish to second guess her judgment as the district’s Chief Executive Officer on a decision that falls squarely in her purview. He said it feels like micromanaging. He called for a roll call vote: H. Milton Cole, yes; Tali Greenspon, no; Andi Lipman, no; Vicky Poole, yes; David J. Brown, yes. VII. Adjournment: It was moved by Cole and seconded by Poole to adjourn the meeting. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote. The meeting adjourned at 12:35 p.m.

a. Change Order(s) - WDMCS Valley High School Phase 3B Project We have received change order 005 from Midland Engineering, Inc. pertaining to the Valley High School Phase 3B Project. The change order is for the items listed below: o

CCD 3B-PR541 - A review of the Area P Auditorium Area P North elevator shaft showed roof drains and piping being installed in the elevator shaft. The elevator contractor reported roof drain piping could not be located in the elevator shaft. The architect reviewed the roof drain routing with the elevator inspector and confirmed roof drains could be located in the shaft if the installation met criteria for car overrun allowances and jacketing. The elevator contractor arrived onsite and built the car platform to confirm overrun allowances. It was confirmed that there was not enough overrun space for the elevator upper assembly to clear the piping, thus, the roof drains and piping require relocation. PR 541 was published confirming that the roof assembly needs revised and the roof piping reconfigured to allow for elevator car overrun clearances. This is the cost to remove the roof assembly, install a new roof assembly, and install new flashing and exterior sheetmetal assembly per PR 541. The costing for this work is being withheld from the Design Team at this time for further review. Design Error: Add: $10,100.00

o

CCD 3B-RFI1230 - RFI 1230 clarified the roof flashing detail along the east elevation. KDent and Shive Hattery confirmed that the roof flashing shall be installed per the detail in the drawings. No cost(s) anticipated/submitted. Design Clarification: Add: $0.00 Contract Summary: Original Contract Sum: Previous Change Order Amount: Current Change Order Amount: Current Contract Amount: Change Order Percent Amount:

$ 504,700.00 $ 0.00 $ 10,100.00 $ 514,800.00 0.2 %

Sales and Service Tax funds have been allocated for this project. We recommend Board approval.

We have received change order 029 from Brockway Mechanical and Roofing, Inc. pertaining to the Valley High School Phase 3B Project. The change order is for the items listed below: o

CCD 3B-PR413 - RFI 707 was authored requesting a clarification for the temperature control requirements in Area C Corridor C1509. PR 413 was published confirming the unlabeled thermostats were not part of the project design. No cost change. Design Clarification: Add: $0.00

o

piping could not be located in the elevator shaft. The architect reviewed the roof drain routing with the elevator inspector and confirmed roof drains could be located in the shaft if the installation met criteria for car overrun allowances and jacketing. The elevator contractor arrived onsite and built the car platform to confirm overrun allowances. It was confirmed that there was not enough overrun space for the elevator upper assembly to clear the piping, thus, the roof drains and piping require relocation. PR 541 was published confirming that the roof assembly needs revised and the roof piping reconfigured to allow for elevator car overrun clearances. This is the cost to remove/cut/cap the roof drain piping per PR 541. The costing for this work is being withheld from the Design Team at this time for further review. Design Error: Add: $515.00 o

CCD 3B-RFI1042 - RFI 1042 was authored following a review of mechanical drawing detail 11/M5.3 for the humidifier unit assemblies. The detail shows an alarm point from the unit being connected and communicating with the building automation system. The purchased humidifier units do not have an internal wiring assembly as a contact to send a signal to the building automation system noting any unit alarm outputs, same as the split unit cooling systems. The response to RFI 1042 confirmed that the unit may have a humidistat installed next to the unit, however, the unit must connect to and alarm to the building automation system. No cost change, install per mechanical drawings and controls sequence requirements. Design Clarification: Add: $0.00

o

CCD 3B-RFI1145 - RFI 1145 was authored to address a Commissioning Log item requiring additional controls sequence clarifications for the air handling units and chilled water system. The RFI was reviewed at the 3/11/14 OACM meeting by Jeff Robbins, Dan Solem, Gary Caldbeck, Rick Boozell, Bob Cullen and Marty Kimball. The RFI response was published as follows: "See sequence clarifications provided as responses to RFI 1138 and 1142. All AHU’s are to use economizer mode and chilled water for night cooling and during unoccupied modes" with a 4/29/2014 update: "This RFI was reviewed at the 3/11/14 OACM meeting by Jeff Robbins, Dan Solem, Gary Caldbeck, Rick Boozell, Bob Cullen and Marty Kimball. The response is as follows: See sequence clarifications provided as responses to RFI 1138 and 1142. All Phase 3B AHU’s only are to use economizer mode and chilled water for night cooling and during unoccupied modes." No cost change. Design Clarification: Add: $0.00

o

CCD 3B-RFI1167 - RFI 1167 was authored in follow up to ASI 365 and a request for clarification from the Commissioning Agent. SystemWorks' commissioning item 178 states: "Staggered start on all AHU's are not set up per ASI # 365." ASI 365's response states: "EQUIPMENT WILL BE COORDINATED WITH STAGGERED START TIMES BY DISTRICT OPERATIONS MANAGER" under the unoccupied mode section, however, Systemworks further questioned how the units shall be staggered on after a power failure or fire alarm since the startup of the air handling units after a power failure or fire alarm event is not included in the mechanical controls sequences. If all air handling units start up at the same time there is an electrical peak surge which sets the peak electrical billing levels for the next 30 days, thus, the significance of this clarification is to startup air handling units strategically to minimize electrical surging from building equipment. RFI 1167 is a no cost change for all new air handling units installed during Phase 3B, however, this clarification confirmed a restart sequence did not exist for all existing air handling units installed during previous construction phases. This is the cost to update programming for all existing air handling units to a startup sequence for fire alarm and power loss events per RFI 1167. Design Change – Commissioning Agent: Add: $3,363.00

o

CCD 3B-RFI1195 - RFI 1195 was authored after confirming the existing transfer ductwork configurations in the walls of future Rooms Storage 1728B and Custodian 1722 were not shown on the drawings, thus, additional direction was needed to confirm if these six existing transfer ducts needed removed and wall patched or removed only. The response to RFI 1195 confirmed (2) of the existing air transfer openings cover up with millwork so the grilles are to be removed with no wall patching required; the other (4) air transfer openings were able to be repurposed and/or infilled to meet design intent. RFI 1195 confirmed final air transfer ductwork configurations, no cost change. Design Clarification: Add: $0.00

o

CCD 3B-RFI1220 - RFI 1220 clarified that the existing grilles could be used in the existing auto shop office and auto shop storage. The ceiling types in these two rooms are precast concrete. The mechanical drawings included new grilles for a lay-in ceiling. KJWW confirmed the existing grilles could be used and the new duct could be connected to them. No cost(s) anticipated/submitted. Design Change – Contractor Option: Add: $0.00

o

CCD 3B-RFI1221 - RFI 1221 was published after confirming with Fire Marshal Kurt Westhoff of the WDM FD that the auditorium be renumbered so the lowest level (Pit/Basement Level) is Level 1 and not Level 0 as shown on the contract documents. This change matches emergency services criteria so emergency personnel know there is a room or floor below them when they walk into a new building room or area. This clarification requires re-numbering Auditorium Rooms and updating the signage schedule. The Area P Rooms adjacent to the Auditorium Room (ie. Set Shop, Lobby, and Corridor C1749) remain unchanged. This is the cost to furnish and install (4) additional room signs and program mechanical/electrical systems to match the updated Auditorium Room Numbering scheme per RFI 1221. Design Change – WDM FD: Add: $0.00

o

CCD 3B-RFI1248 - RFI 1248 was authored after confirming from the work scope associated with PR 401 did not include removing an existing plumbing vent pipe. PR 401 confirmed removal of existing plumbing connections in Room 1601. The Proposal Request (PR) did not include removing a vent pipe which extended above ceiling and through the roof or patching the roof. This work is required since the vent pipe would be disconnected and open to exterior conditions. The vent is a 4" line so sheet steel will be fastened to the metal deck and the insulation and membrane will be patched. This is the cost to remove the vent pipe and patch the roof per RFI 1248 as supplement to PR 401 work. Design Change – Owner Request (Ref. PR 401): Add: $0.00 Contract Summary: Original Contract Sum: Previous Change Order Amount: Current Change Order Amount: Current Contract Amount: Change Order Percent Amount:

We have received change order 011 from Jensen Builders, Inc. pertaining to the Valley High School Phase 3B Project. The change order is for the items listed below: o

CCD 3B-RFI1246 - RFI 1246 was a Owner change requesting that parking stalls be renumbered in the west lot. This will be done in lieu of numbering the northeast and southeast parking lots. No cost(s) anticipated/submitted. Design Change – Owner Request (Mollison, Robbins): Add: $0.00

o

CCD 3B-RFI1259 - RFI 1259 was authored after confirming site drawings SP1.1 and SP3.1 showed grading and paving/curbing installations for new planting installations in the Northeast Parking Lot without updated pavement grade contours. While laying out the new curb line extents for the new tree planting islands it was confirmed that (1) curb line along the existing North curb of the parking lot and (1) curb line along the existing East curb of the parking lot would require excessive sloping to maintain two-dimensional drainage requirements to ensure proper storm water drainage. The North island west curb connection to existing curb line slopes up at an extreme condition, thus, it is suggested to lengthen the rise of the existing curb by removing ~15'0 x 12'-0" of additional concrete paving to match the existing parking lot contours. The East island north curb connection to existing curb line slopes down at an extreme condition, thus, it is suggested to lengthen the negative rise of the existing curb by removing ~4'-0" by 12"-0 to match the existing parking lot contours. This is the cost to remove existing concrete pavement, adjust subgrade, and furnish and install concrete pavement at (2) additional parking lot removal locations per RFI 1259 to match the existing grade contours of the Northeast parking lot.

$ 874,400.00 $ 12,890.00 $ 5,404.00 $ 892,694.00 2.1 %


We have received change order 009 from American Marking, Inc. pertaining to the Valley High School Phase 3B Project. The change order is for the items listed below: o

CCD 3B-PR204 - PR 204 added three room signs that were not called out on the original signage schedule. Rooms 1502 and 1503 have two entrances. The schedule only included one sign for each room. Room 1505A is shown as a display case on the plans but is actually a storage room, thus, a sign was added for this room. No cost(s) anticipated/submitted. Design Omission: Add: $0.00

o

CCD 3B-RFI1221 - RFI 1221 was published after confirming with Fire Marshal Kurt Westhoff of the WDM FD that the auditorium be renumbered so the lowest level (Pit/Basement Level) is Level 1 and not Level 0 as shown on the contract documents. This change matches emergency services criteria so emergency personnel know there is a room or floor below them when they walk into a new building room or area.

Board Agenda VIII 2015-2016 Early Retirement Plan September 8, 2014 Dr. Lisa Remy, Paul Bobek, and Carol Seid Enclosed is the proposed 2015-2016 Early Retirement Plan. Approval of this plan allows eligible district staff to have the opportunity to plan further in advance when making a decision concerning retirement. The administration is not proposing any changes from the 2014-2015 plan. The plans are identical. 2015-2016 Early Retirement Plan 1. Key informational points: x With early notification, the district is able to assess staffing needs for the upcoming school year. x The attrition savings allows the district to better contain expenditures. x The net savings is recognized in the general fund because the management fund is used to support the cost of the early retirement plan for all staff 65 or under. 2. The eligibility guidelines established to participate in the Early Retirement Plan: x The employee must have worked a minimum of thirty (30) hours per week, or seventy percent (70%) contract, each of the last ten (10) full years of service. x A year of service refers to a school year. Thus, in order to count as a school year, the employee must be employed by the first student contact day in order for that year to count toward a full year of service. x The employee must have a minimum of ten (10) full years of continuous employment in the district. x The employee must have obtained the age of fifty-five (55) of June 30, 2016. x An employee terminated for just cause, or receiving payments or benefits from or on behalf of the District that are not tied to the performance of current duties, is not eligible. x An employee is eligible to participate in this Plan only at the end of the current school year (certified employees or nine month employees) or June 30th (all other employees). x In order to be eligible to receive a tax-sheltered annuity benefit under this Plan, the employee must have established an account under the tax-sheltered annuity plan established and maintained by the District no later than November 1 of the calendar year in which the employee’s retirement takes effect. 3. The amount of an Early Retiree’s benefit under this Plan (the “Tax-Sheltered Annuity Benefit”) will be computed based on the following factors: a. The number of sick leave days accumulated as of retirement (125 maximum for 9 and 10 month employees or 135 maximum for 11 and 12 month employees) multiplied by $50 per day. b. The final calculation for sick leave will be made on the employee’s last working day. 4. The District’s contribution to single medical insurance coverage will be capped at the 2016-2017 premiums for the district’s lowest cost plan. The District’s contribution to retiree health insurance will end the earlier of 1) six years from the retirement date, or 2) the month prior to the retiree’s 65th birthday. Board Approval is recommended.

II.

STIPULATIONS A. The Board reserves the right to add to, delete, modify, or waive given stipulations and/or benefits if such action by the Board is deemed to be in the best interest of the District. Any decision by the Board to waive a stipulation or benefit which is a part of this Early Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) shall not establish any precedent with regard to future applications. The Board reserves the right to amend or revoke this Plan or any provision of this Plan at any time, with or without notice. This Plan is designed to enable the District to help control the General Fund expenditures and staffing turnover. B.

The final determination as to acceptance or rejection will be the sole discretion of the Board.

C.

Should the Board determine not to continue this Plan; the commitments made to employees previously approved for early retirement will be honored.

D.

Eligibility requirements: 1. The employee must have worked a minimum of thirty (30) hours per week, or seventy percent (70%) contract, each of the last ten (10) full years of service. 2. A year of service refers to a school year. Thus, in order to count as a school year, the employee must be employed by the first student contact day in order for that year to count toward a full year of service. 3. The employee must have a minimum of ten (10) full years of continuous employment in the district. 4. The employee must have obtained the age of fifty-five (55) of June 30, 2016. 5. An employee terminated for just cause, or receiving payments or benefits from or on behalf of the District that are not tied to the performance of current duties, is not eligible. 6. An employee is eligible to participate in this Plan only at the end of the current school year (certified employees or nine month employees) or June 30th (all other employees). 7. In order to be eligible to receive a tax-sheltered annuity benefit under this Plan, the employee must have established an account under the tax-sheltered annuity plan established and maintained by the District no later than November 1 of the calendar year in which the employee’s retirement takes effect.

Page 68 of 90

F.

III.

An employee who is granted early retirement benefits under this Plan (the “Early Retiree”) agrees, as a condition of his or her receipt of benefits under this Plan, that he or she will not apply for employment with the District at any time in the future. This provision does not prohibit the District from inviting the Early Retiree to apply nor does it prohibit an Early Retiree from accepting employment with the District if the District offers such employment.

TAX- SHELTERED ANNUITY BENEFIT A. The amount of an Early Retiree’s benefit under this Plan (the “Tax-Sheltered Annuity Benefit”) will be computed based on the following factors: 1. The number of sick leave days accumulated as of retirement (125 maximum for 9 and 10 month employees or 135 maximum for 11 and 12 month employees) multiplied by $50 per day. 2. The final calculation for sick leave will be made on the employee’s last working day. B.

Subject to applicable restrictions and limitations on elective and non-elective employer contributions under sections 403(b) and 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as last amended (the “Code”), the Early Retiree’s Tax-Sheltered Annuity Benefit shall be contributed by the District, as a nonelective employer contribution, directly to the Early Retiree’s account (the “Account”) established and maintained under the District’s Tax-Sheltered Annuity Plan, as then in effect (the “Annuity Plan”), in accordance with subparagraph 2 of this paragraph B. Any such contribution shall be made by the District in a manner so as to qualify as non-elective employer contributions to a tax-sheltered annuity plan for purposes of Code sections 403(b) and 415 (the “Allowable Contribution Amount”). 1.

Amount of Tax-Sheltered Annuity Benefit. The Early Retiree’s Tax-Sheltered Annuity Benefit shall mean the amount computed in accordance with paragraph A of this Article III.

2.

Contributions of Tax-Sheltered Annuity Benefit. The Allowable Contribution Amount of the Early Retiree’s Tax-Sheltered Annuity Benefit shall be contributed to the Early Retiree’s Account under the Annuity Plan in December following his or her retirement, provided, however, that if the Allowable Contribution Amount for the calendar year 2015 shall be less than the Early Retiree’s Tax-Sheltered Annuity Benefit, the balance of the Early Retiree’s Tax-Sheltered Annuity Benefit, if any, shall be contributed to the Early Retiree’s Account to the fullest extent allowable under the Code on the last day of the first pay period in January of each of the next succeeding four calendar years, subject to applicable restrictions and limitations on contributions to the Account under Code sections 403(b) and 415. If the Early Retiree’s death occurs before the contribution of the entire amount of the Early Retiree’s Tax-Sheltered Annuity Benefit to the Early Retiree’s Account, the balance of the Early Retiree’s Tax-Sheltered Annuity Benefit shall be promptly paid to the Early Retiree’s Beneficiary in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code.

3.

Beneficiary. As used in this paragraph B, the term “Beneficiary” means the beneficiary designated by the Early Retiree on forms furnished by and delivered to the District, or, in the absence of any such designation, the Early Retiree’s spouse, or if he or she is not married, his or her estate.

4.

No Substitution for Benefits. In no event may the Early Retiree (or the Early Retiree’s Beneficiary) receive all or any portion of his or her Tax-Sheltered Annuity Benefit in cash or any other form of benefit in lieu of contributions to the Early Retiree’s Account in accordance with paragraphs A and B of this Article III.

5.

Withholding for Taxes. The District will withhold from any contribution or distribution of the Early Retiree’s Tax-Sheltered Amount such amounts as may be required for purposes of complying with the tax withholding provisions of the Code or any state income tax act for purposes of paying any income or other tax attributable to any amount distributable under this Plan.

Page 69 of 90

IV.

HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS A. The District’s contribution to single medical insurance coverage will be capped at the 2016-2017 premiums for the District's lowest cost plan. The Early Retiree may elect to participate in a higher cost hospital/major medical insurance plan and will pay the difference in premium cost. The District’s contribution to an Early Retiree’s health insurance will end the earlier of 1) six years from the retirement date, or 2) the month prior to the Early Retiree’s 65th birthday. B.

Nothing herein shall limit the District’s ability to change the terms of its existing health and major medical insurance coverage. This Plan in no way guarantees that an Early Retiree will be provided any certain level of benefits during the time of the Early Retiree’s participation in the insurance benefits portion of this Plan.

C.

Conditioned upon carrier approval, the Early Retiree may continue to purchase spouse/child/family coverage by paying the monthly difference between the cost of single coverage paid by the District and the cost of the additional coverage desired. Failure to make proper payment prior to the first of each month will result in the loss of the added coverage.

D.

In the case of Early Retirees who have previously waived health insurance coverage, the Early Retiree will be able to sign up for one of the district’s health insurance plans at the time that he/she signs up for the early retirement Plan. The insurance will become effective the first day of retirement.

Board Agenda X Contracts/Agreements September 8, 2014 Dr. Lisa Remy, Dr. Laurene Lanich, Steph Wilson, Elaine Watkins-Miller, Jeff Robbins

a. Norwalk Community School District – auditorium use Due to construction at Valley, the Choral Department will be holding one curricular concert in the Norwalk Fine Arts Center. The Norwalk School District has once again graciously invited us to utilize their 900-seat, new auditorium for these concerts at no rental cost to us. The only charges applied will be for the hourly custodial and technical staff fees. The estimated cost is $720, but may be a little more based on custodial cost after the concert and will come out of a fund set aside for events due to no auditorium at Valley (general fund). Their generosity is a gesture of goodwill between the districts, and the Valley Choral Department is grateful for the use of such a beautiful, nearby space. This contract has not changed from last year’s contract. We recommend Board approval.

b. eBoard Solutions The West Des Moines Community Schools would like to move away from print-based development and distribution of School Board meeting agendas and packets, to an online document management system called eBoard Solutions. The process will provide greater efficiency in workflow and processing of documents. Public access to documents will be online through the district website as well as printed copies available at the Learning Resource Center or upon request. As noted on the Subscription Order, the annual subscription cost is $9,100. However, eBoard Solutions has a sponsorship agreement with the Iowa Association of School Boards, which will reimburse the district $1,911. Therefore, the final annual total subscription cost will be $7,189 paid from the General Fund. The attached agreement (subscription order), terms of service, and IASB email have been reviewed by legal counsel and our insurance company. The administration recommends approval.

c. District – Waste Management Agreement Bids were received at the Learning Resource Center May 16, 2014 for the West Des Moines Community School District’s Waste and Recycle Management Services. The contract is one year in length with (2) one year service extensions. The District’s Waste and Recycling Management proposal was sent to two vendors Waste Management of Iowa, Inc. and Ankeny Sanitation, Inc. Both vendors are large enough to serve the District’s needs. The service proposal was based upon the current services provided by Waste Management of Iowa, Inc. Page 72 of 90

The proposal results are as follows: Service Provider: Waste Management of Iowa, Inc. Ankeny Sanitation, Inc.

Monthly Service Cost: $5,140.83 $8,589.00

Annual Cost: $61,689.96 $103,068.00

Waste Management of Iowa, Inc. submitted the lowest proposed cost for Waste and Recycling services. We request acceptance of Waste Management of Iowa, Inc. proposal. All costs related to Waste and Recycling services are General Fund expenditures. Kristy Latta with Ahlers & Cooney reviewed and modified the contract. Val Edie with INSPRO reviewed the contract for the necessary insurance limits and requirements. We recommend Board approval.

California residents waive any rights they may have under §1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” Subscriber and its Users agree to release unknown claims and waive all available rights under California Civil Code §1542 or under any other statute or common law principle of similar effect.

Elaine, IASB is rebating to members who purchase eBoard modules 84% of the amount we receive from eBoard for each purchase. In this case once WDMCS pays eBoard the $9,100 eBoard will send IASB $2,275 for sponsorship. IASB will then send WDMCS a check for $1,911 so that the net price of the purchase for WDMCS will be $7,189 as noted in the previous emails. Thanks for your purchase and I hope you find it as productive as we have at IASB. Let me know if this does not suffice for the documentation you were requesting.
