j. ROP Educational Services Contracts providing for reimbursement to the District
Mr. Rose motioned to amend the contract to remove Roger Graziani.
Motion failed for lack of a second.
Mrs. Bock asked if the teachers come recommended by the district or is ROP recommending the
teachers.
Dr. Hendricks explained that the contract allows reimbursement to COUSD by ROP, and removing a
name would be the district taking action to "not accept the reimbursement."
President Probst reminded the Board that personnel items should be addressed in closed session first
to maintain employee confidentiality.

XIV. BOARD UPDATE
a. Board Update
Mrs. Bock announced that the traffic light at Willow is in effect.
Mr. Probst gave kudos to Mrs. Bock and Dr. Harwick for their persistence in enforcing the safety of our
students.
Mr. Cruz asked to present Chris Jeffers with a Good Apple Award for his work in conjunction with our
school district.
Mr. Akers asked if another Board member would accompany him to an upcoming Covina City Council
meeting to provide a presentation on the crosswalk request.
b. Board Action Calendar and Future Items
XV. BOARDISUPERINTENDENT COMMENTS
Mr. Rose said he needs time to review materials in reference to the question regarding the icon (3)
at
action item b. He asked to have the Williams form on the website.
Mr. Akers talked about providing projects for the Boy Scouts of America Eagle Scout candidates. He
also expressed his excitement on the upcoming CIF playoff game.
Mr. Cruz addressed the CTA event attended by Board Members, and a ROMS fundraiser. He and Joe
attended a CSBA Delegate Assembly Meeting and liked seeing the hosting districts API scores in the
lobby of the office. He also expressed concern on backup servers and money that can be well spent on
technology. He understood Mr. Akers frustration on the crosswalk item and feels there is work they can
do now. He also offered his thanks to a great staff and district; despite some negativity, it's a great
place to teach kids.
Mrs. Bock addressed the servers going down and her experiences having worked at the sites. The
technology department jumped at the opportunities to assist with temporary patches while searching for
long term solutions. She is excited to attend the PTA Holiday Luncheon which helps a local boys home
and children in need. She enjoyed the CTA dinner to catch up and to see that the teachers union sees
where the district is with the budget.
Ms. Saldegna thanked the Board for a great meeting. She expressed her excitement at being able to
vote. She wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. She also thanked the Board for the opportunity to
be able to express to her fellow students that the people at this level care for them.
Dr. Harwick shared the financial statements of ACORNS from January 2007 with a balance of $6000.
He commented on the idea to work with students, as in the SDC program, as outstanding and a great
show of citizenship, demonstrating the pillars of Character Counts. A great thing about Charter Oak is
the cooperation that goes on to support each other, as shown when the servers were down. The
Reflections program was fantastic, with incredible photography, which he will try to bring to the Board.
He could not say enough about staff and principals who took another night from their families and to
show their support for their students. Dr. Harwick described the poise demonstrated by a third grader
who played the piano in front of a packed house. He encouraged others to see the student artwork
from the daycare and their reasons for being thankful.
Mr. Probst announced this as his last full meeting; this session being one of the most uncomfortable.
He referenced the server issues and the dramatic change in cost factors. The CTA Dinner was
delightful and enjoyable. He attended the CSBA Region 23 meeting where serious problems were
discussed. At the state level, CSBA representatives have an impact. At the 7-1 1 committee, he asked
about this "draft" which they still don't have; some motions that are still to be finalized at next meeting.
He expressed concern about the Freedom on Information Act, and acknowledged that requests must
be clear. He wished good luck to the incoming president, and commented that this is a great district.
XVI. FUTURE MEETING - Next Regular Meeting: December 11, 2008
