Neidert referenced the parent permission form for student participation in the activity. Agenda Item Number 3: CONSIDERATION/DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS A. Assignment of Students for Enrollment Purposes Board Member Michael Kilburn presented a motion to the board in regard to school enrollment per capacity at all Lawrence County Schools. Kilburn’s proposal stipulated: …students shall be assigned to the school that is geographically nearest to that student’s 911 address whereas it will coincide with the bus route to the nearest geographical school as assigned by the Lawrence County School Bus System…with extra class space being reported for additional student enrollment…. 901…Board Meeting of April 6, 2006, continued Board Member Perry seconded Kilburn’s proposal. Board Member Caruso presented an amendment stipulating that …any employee of the Lawrence County Board of Education will be permitted to enroll their child in the school of their choice.... Board Member Brazier seconded Caruso’s amendment to Kilburn’s motion and added a second amendment, proposing the grandfathering of students currently enrolled at Ethridge School in grades K-8 only (excluding preK) and that the proposed enrollment procedure apply only to the Ethridge School site, not countywide. Board Member Caruso seconded. Board Member Jacobs reminded the members that a similar procedure had been presented to the board at the last meeting and that the board had agreed to contact Kaatz Binkley to study the situation and provide recommendation. She remarked that she felt the board had not allowed enough time “to think the situation through.” Crowd applause followed. In similar concern, Board Member Sanders read sections of Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA), stipulating requirements that written notice be given to all students assigned with parents’ right to appeal, extended to the point of court appearance. Sanders affirmed that each case would have to be heard on an individual basis. She concluded that she too felt the decision to zone students was premature. Again, crowd applause followed. Board Member Kilburn remarked that enrollment in grades K-8 throughout the system had decreased by 312 students, so he could not see why any school should be overcrowded. Sanders then questioned if Kilburn would feel the same way were Summertown in question. Kilburn responded that he would feel the same way. As remarks became more heated, Chairman Clifton gaveled and ended further discussion on the issue. Chairman Clifton then moved that the item be sent to the board’s policy committee. Sanders seconded. Director Davis reminded the board that prior motions were on the table that needed to be either withdrawn or acted upon. Clifton questioned if the members would like to withdraw motions. Upon Brazier’s request, Engelhardt reread the second amendment. Chairman Clifton reaffirmed his desire that the issue be referred to policy committee and requested that all motions be withdrawn. Board Members Caruso and Brazier withdrew their motions. Board Member Davenport expressed that he too felt the issue should be referred to policy. Chairman Clifton asked Kilburn if he would withdraw his original motion. Kilburn responded that he would not. Clifton called for a second to his motion to send to policy. Caruso seconded. Clifton called for roll call vote on his (Clifton’s) motion. 902…Board Meeting of April 6, 2006, continued… Action: Brazier Caruso Clifton Davenport Jacobs Kilburn Perry Robinson Sanders TOTAL Aye X X X X X X X X X 9 No Absent 0 0 Status: The board unanimously agreed in roll call to refer Kilburn’s assignment of students proposal to the policy committee. B. Tenured Teachers Approval Director Davis shared that the principal or designee from each school having candidates for tenure was in attendance for personal recommendation of their candidates.

C. Geothermal Information/Considerations Facilities Director David Crowell requested that the roof situations at Loretto High School and Summertown High School be presented first. His request was granted, and Crowell called upon Kevin Turner to share concerns. Turner expressed that he had serious design concerns in regard to structural capacity in the section located in the theater entrance at Loretto High School. Turner said the design does not meet any code, adding that the roof would have to be removed and replaced to meet structural codes. Turner voiced likewise concern with the social studies area of LHS. He concluded in recommending the installation of a metal roof in these areas, with an estimated cost of $200,000-$250,000. Referencing the roof concern at Summertown High School, Turner again voiced concern with the structural capacity in the pod section of the school. He affirmed that there was no code compliance and also recommended that a metal roof be installed at Summertown but concluded that the design was much further along at LHS than SHS. Turner stated that were he asked if the roofs in either school were structurally sound, he would have to say “no.” 904…Board Meeting of April 6, 2006, continued… Turner could not provide a cost estimate for Summertown and requested that the board allow him about a month to determine estimated cost. No action was taken. Facilities Director Crowell then shared bid results for the HVAC Renovations at E.O. Coffman Middle School, with a total estimated cost of $1,406, 040. Included in the summary report were 4 alternatives to the total project, with varying cost reductions. Crowell stated that the contract to date for the renovation at EOC was $357,481 expenditures. Crowell concluded that for completion of the total project at EOC, the system was short $733,209 based upon the bid results. Crowell then directed the board to the document outlining the Total Cost for All Jobs that reflected a shortage of $2,029,382.13. Crowell proceeded with referencing the documents that outlined the Total LCHS Cost, Total Based EOC Cost with Gym Cost, and the Total LCHS Cost with no additional work at EOC or Gyms. Board Member Jacobs voiced concern with not air conditioning the gymnasiums as some are already air conditioned. Jacobs opined that this could be considered discriminatory. Crowell added that he was continuously negotiating to get the money down at LCHS and that he would continue to work to lower the costs. He concluded that he had no recommendations to the board at this time. Referencing the unit noise problem, Crowell added that the units presenting excess noise would no longer be purchased but that he had no recommendation for an alternative unit at this time. Several members voiced that increase in costs were to be expected because of the Katrina situation. Board Member Kilburn affirmed that the board may as well acknowledge that prices were continuing to go up. Director Davis recommended that the completion of the Geothermal Project be referred to the budget committee. No action was taken. (Board Member Caruso requested a brief recess to allow the audience in attendance to vacate if so desired. Chairman Clifton directed the audience to exit quietly.) D.
