Minutes: There were no special actions.
68. C-8 Human Resources Related Purchased Services (Item pulled by Mrs. Kerekes)
Attachment: Thrasher Horne Lease Agreement TOY SREY 2015.pdf
Minutes: 

Mrs. Kerekes pulled this item because she had a question about labor relations attorney fees and wanted to ensure that the labor attorney is not being used as private counsel.  She believes labor attorney issues should go through the school board attorney before services are engaged.  Board discussion ensued.

Toni McCabe, Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources, asked for clarification that matters pertaining to routine collective bargaining and employee relations matters would be exempt.



Motions:

Move to approve a modification of the agenda item that all assignments to the labor attorney be disclosed  to the school board chairman and school board attorney ten days prior to the date that the work is to begin and with the proviso that the labor attorney shall not be used in any circumstances to research or review the legality or the validity of the actions of the board or the school board attorney other than on collective bargaining or employee termination matters.
