* New electrical outlets for Herald Elementary math lab -- work bid out

* Alt. Ed building appearance improvements
* Several MS projects nearly complete (w/ Howard Ray helping)


20) Superintendent’s Report: Terry Due reported on these topics:
a) Comp Time Payment for FY2010. -- Terry reported that a change requested by Pat Sunday (a year ago?) to agjust secretary hours from 35 to 40 hous had kept comp time to a minimum as she had predicted (and Pat Herald doubted). One excpetion was comp time to one secretary involved in payroll for the numerous school district employees.
* While not directly addressing the current Skiatook school issues (grand jury and fired superintendent) ...Terry thanked the Collinsville School business office for "doing things right". Specifically thanking Rita Pate and Pat Sunday who other schools turn to see how Collinsville does things. Terry says business operations here are transparent and in the best interst of the school district.
* On state funding cuts ... and why Collinsville is surviving better than most schools
-- basically have been trying to stay lean every year and have some carryover now
-- Collinsville is routinely about 25 kids/class ... where as recent Tulsa school layoffs take them from about 21 to 23 kids/class.
-- spending on needs -vs- wants
* Rita Pate provides a summary financial report to the board members showing "The Realities of State Budget Cuts" with a total loss of over a million dollars which was softened (temporarily) somewhat by ARRA (stimulus) dollars for a net loss of $297,197. Uncertainty remains on the next round of state cuts as the basis for cuts could differ from 2.9 to 8.9%. The district gained 70.78 students but not the customary increase in state aid. State mandated benefits promised to be paid by the state are being paid by the schools instead.
* The concern of "exclusive milk" provision in the new Coke contract was removed.

21) Adjournment.

This notice being publicly given and displayed by the authority of the School Board of Independent District I-6, acting by and through the undersigned.
