 44. Ratify the 2011-2012 Amendment to the 2011-2014 Master Contract between the Clay County Education Association and the School District of Clay CountyAttachment: 2011-2012 Ratification Package.pdfMinutes: Denise Adams, Deputy Superintendent, explained that language had been refreshed and rewritten to meet Florida Statutes SB 736 in which seniority is no longer allowed to be used when reduction in force is necessary.  The professional day was reduced to 7.50 hours, which brings it in compliance with the rest of the school district's work hours, as well as the majority of the teachers around the state.  Also, an attendance incentive in which the substitute budget, which is normally spent during the year, will be given to teachers as incentive to remain in the classroom.  This incentive will not recur next year, it is for 2011-2012 only.
 
 Speaker:  Steve Richards, President of CCEA spoke on behalf of the contract and encouraged its acceptance.
 
 Charlie Van Zant, Jr., Board member, raised the issue of the contract being ratified by the School Board first, before ratification by the CCEA and the attendance incentive.

 46. Summer School 2012Attachment: Summer School 2012.pdfAttachment: Summer School 2012 costs.pdf
 Minutes: Lyle Bandy, Director of Student Services, explained the history of summer school costs.  Initially summer school was operated with FTE funding. When the Legislature eliminated FTE as an option to fund summer school, Adult Education became the solution. This year the computer based Compass Program for course recovery will be used.  Each student will be charged a technology fee of $75.00 per course. However, students on free and reduced lunch will not pay for the class.  The anticipated cost to the district will be approximately $30,000.  This is the first time a fee has been charged for summer school.

 Motion Minutes: Ms. Graham suggested a workshop to help the Board further clarify the issue and reach a better understanding among themselves.  Mr. Farrell explained that the purpose of movement to an injunction is to let the court decide the Constitutional and legal questions.  Mr. Van Zant suggested a workshop would be a reasonable course of action in light of  several different legal opinions.
 
 Mr. Van Zant stated School Board Policy indicates that the superintendent and a school board member, with proper approval of the School Board, may introduce an emergency item that is not on the agenda.   The rule does not preclude the right of any citizen to address the Board. The emergency item was called and no one was asked to speak to the item.  Additionally, any backup information given to a board member pertaining to an upcoming action should be made available to all board members.
