41. Elementary School "Z" Overview

Minutes: 

The plans for this school were approved on January 18, 2007; however, the school was delayed when Elementary "X" became more critical.  Elementary "Z" will be in the OakLeaf area and across the road from the OakLeaf School which is currently a K-8 school.  Brian Boatright and Carl Craft were present from McCullar and Boatright Architects to answer questions.  The school will be a one-building design with approximately 124,000 square feet and 41 basic classrooms.  We will not be using an outside construction manager for this project.  The school is scheduled to open in August, 2009.  It was noted that come November, we will have three elementary schools under construction at same time.

42. Transportation Issues

Attachment: ArvidNelson.pdf
Attachment: MichaelSharpe.pdf
Minutes: 

The following individuals spoke regarding walkpaths and bus stop concerns, as well as the  discontinuation of some school bus pickups:  Michael Sharpe, Tina Fox, Arvid Nelson, and Sonya Wilson.

Mike Elliott, Assistant Superintendent for Support Services, briefly reviewed the history of the School Board when it changed its policy for bus service for 2.0 to 1.5 miles for elementary students.  There was lengthy discussion about how the distance is measured and the fact that there is no School Board policy that dictates how the distance will be measured.  Florida Statutes only address walk distances greater than 2.0.  This issue will be placed on the Discussion Agenda in October for further discussion regarding a specific established point from where, and to where, the measurements will be taken.

43. COP Transactions - Legal Opinion

Minutes: A recent Supreme Court decision regarding Escambia County and Certificates of Participation  (COP) could have a significant impact on school districts, requiring approval for COP's by a voter referendum.  Bruce Bickner, School Board Attorney, discussed the legal aspects of this issue, and Mike Elliott, Assistant Superintendent for Support Services, informed the Board of the consequences to the school district that could postpone the construction of High School "QQQ."  A $25 million COP was planned to finance this school.

44. Charging for Transportation of Students

Attachment: BicknerLegalOpinion.pdf
Minutes: At Mr. Bolla's request, Mr. Bickner explained his legal opinion concerning this issue.  The written opinion can be found in the attachment.

45. Update on School Concurrency

Minutes: At Mr. Bolla's request, Mr. Elliott gave a brief update.  The membership of the Citizens' Advisory Committee on School Concurrency is now complete.  The committee is scheduled to have its first meeting for orientation on September 27, 2007.  The committee will be administered by BCC staff and the meetings are open to the public.

46. October 11, 2007 Special Meeting

Minutes: At Mrs. Studdard's request, the special meeting scheduled for October 11 was moved from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.  The meeting is expected to last no more than 15 minutes and will be held in the Superintendent's Conference room at the district office.

47. Set-up of Board Room

Minutes: Mrs. Vallencourt asked that staff look into the set-up of the meeting room so that every board member can make eye contact not only with other board members, but also with key staff members who are seated at the side tables.
