Director Luton commented on how pleased he was to see Jayme Olson has been hired as BHS Head Girls Varsity Basketball coach, as she is a former Bettendorf student and Iowa State gradudate.



President Roski congratulated Greg Meyers on his recent promotion to Principal of Davenport West High School beginning with the 2003/04 school year.

ß .40 FTE Elementary Art, lack of enrollment

ß .17 FTE HS SAIL, declining enrollment

ß .60 FTE Elementary Crisis Interventionist, part-time will be combined with full-time counseling above



Director Castro requested the Board of Education’s Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 2003, include the following:

ß On page 3, under the 4th paragraph of #6.01 Shared Communications, “The Lincoln Fundamental School philosophy strongly supports ability grouping, which has been very successful for them. Additionally, there is a waiting list for admission to this school, as requests exceed availability, and guidelines for majority and minority students need to followed.”

ß On page 3, under # 6.02 Facilities Advisory Council Report, “Director Castro inquired as to the option of seeking funding from the private sector for the BHS Fine Arts addition. Facilities Advisory Council (FAC) Chair, Jeff Ehrmann, stated the FAC had discussed the potential of private funding but felt it would be difficult to seek community support for predominant safety code issues and space needs. Mr. Ehrmann agreed that the auditorium expansion may be an area to consider private fundraising. Currently, the high school is accepting donations from the community for the purchase of auditorium seats.”

6. Discussion Items.



6.01 Shared Communications.



Director Mayer stated that based on the cards of appreciation to Board members from students it appears air conditioning will be welcomed and the year-round calendar not so popular with students.



Directors Weigle and Roski attended the recent balanced-calendar meeting at Mark Twain Elementary and reported good attendance and open communication.



Director Castro updated the Board on a request he made a few months to the Student Council as to their interest in assisting local military families affected by the recent war. Today he contacted the National Guard Armory in Eldridge and was given the names of two families in need of assistance. Director Castro is in the process of following up with the Student Council to determine if students have an interest in helping these military families.



Director Luton shared his positive teaching experiences at Rivermont Collegiate in Bettendorf, where he has enjoyed classes varying in size from 4-8 students.



6.02 Virtual Credits & Block Schedule Update.



BHS Principal Jim Casas shared recent discussions of the Academic Affairs team leaders regarding the prospect of utilizing virtual credits. He reported on Governor Vilsack’s proposal of an Iowa High School virtual academy, which would increase the availability and range of courses to students throughout the state. This would provide an alternative learning style for students who learn at a different pace and would appeal to a wide range of students from the low end all the way up to high achievers. He shared the pros and cons of the research, in particular the Urban Education Network, stating the Academic Affairs team will continue to review its potential.



Principal Casas also shared feedback from parents at a recent meeting regarding block scheduling, with the main concerns expressed in the areas of Math, English, and Science.

The administrative team continues to discuss improvements, with the main focus on math at this time. A letter was sent to parents April 7, informing them of an early-bird Algebra class, which would meet 50 minutes everyday for the entire school year. This class would be taken in addition to the normal four-period class load. Responses have been very positive and will provide more flexibility for the student as well as the teacher. Staff will continue to look at English and Science issues as well in the coming years.



Director Weigle inquired as to what challenges could be provide the senior year for students. Principal Casas recognized the concerns with the senior year and stated a restructuring plan is being put together to address issues and will be presented to the Board at a future date.



The Board expressed their support and appreciation to the Academic Affairs team for their innovativeness and dedication to improvements.



6.03 BHS PE Curriculum & Fitness Center.



Athletic Director Mark Brooks and Physical Education Instructor Diane Lichtenburg reported on the new Fitness Education Center and the integration of cardiovascular and strength training into the PE curriculum. The goal is to increase physical activity for all students, and they would like to add an assessment tool in order to better evaluate student progress. Usage of the facility is high and widespread amongst the student population, with grant funding being sought for additional cardiovascular equipment. They expressed their appreciation to the Board for the facility and were happy to report so many students taking advantage of the opportunity to improve their physical health.



6.04 Facilities Advisory Council Recommendations.



Superintendent Perdue shared the projects recommended by the Facilities Advisory Council, which included a BHS Fine Arts Addition at $950,000; BMS Parking Lot at $310,000; and the BHS Auditorium Renovation at $950,000 (plus grant funding). Future projects in review included BMS Pod interior renovation; BMS Exterior Pod reconstruction; BHS cafeteria reimage; BHS men’s locker room; BMS theater; and district storage facility. Financial projections from the One Cent Sales Tax fund were also reviewed. Superintendent Perdue announced a recent change in the Iowa Demonstration Construction Grant cap from $1 million to $500,000; he also stated the grant submission requires Board authorization. In general, the Board expressed support for the projects recommended and also for being fiscally responsible as the district moves forward with these major projects.



Director Castro inquired as to the potential of raising funds through the private sector to assist with the Fine Arts addition. BHS Principal Jimmy Casas reported volunteerism and parental/ community involvement is high; however, financially parents and community members can be tapped out. He stated the kids deserve a facility they can be proud of, and he supports the FAC’s recommendations. Mrs. Terri Russell, FAC co-chair, stated the FAC discussed the potential of private funding and also felt funding should come from the One Cents Sales Tax Fund and grants.



Director Anderson reported on a recent meeting he attended with the City on the proposed community performing arts center, with no conclusion at this point as to the scope of the project. The City continues to discuss this topic, however, did not feel their decision would impact what the schools would be doing.



At the May 19 Board meeting, Directors will take action on the approval of the FAC’s recommendations and the authorization for grant submission.



President Roski, thanked members of the FAC for their dedication, input and participation in the facility recommendations.



The Board recessed at 9:17 p.m. and reconvened at 9:21 p.m.
