Correspondence:
A) The Board received a communication from Dr. Michael Staten thanking them for allowing Tami Krone to attend the FEFE conference in Tucson, Arizona this summer to prepare to teach a Consumer Finance class at the high school this school year. Dr. Staten noted that such consumer finance courses are being implemented across the nation and are an important addition to the curriculum that will benefit students taking the class.
PRINCIPALS’ REPORTS High School Principal Nate Achenbach reported to the Board on the following matters.
A) High School Principal Achenbach informed the Board that eight high school students are enrolled and taking course offerings through the MTDA – Montana Digital Academy – this school year. High School Principal Achenbach noted that the legislature funded the implementation of MTDA so there will be no enrollment or tuition fees this school year, but it is unknown what course fees will be next year or in the future. High School Principal Achenbach further noted that all courses being offered are being taught by fully certified teachers and the MTDA program is being run through the University of Montana.
High School Principal Achenbach informed the Board that one high school student is actually taking five courses through MTDA. High School Principal Achenbach noted that this student missed a lot of school last year because of a non-school related extracurricular activity and was going to miss up to eight weeks this school year because of this same activity. High School Principal Achenbach noted that missing that much class time was not only hard for this student, but for the teachers and rest of the students in the classes missed. High School Principal Achenbach informed the Board that he had proposed that this student take all academic courses through MTDA, as he felt this was the best compromise for the student and the district even though policy states that on-line course offerings will not be used to replace any courses offered in school, the only exception being credit recovery. High School Principal Achenbach noted that in this manner the District will receive ANB funding for this student and the student will be able to continue to participate in school sponsored extracurricular activities which wouldn’t be the case if the student was home schooled, one of the options that the student considered.
B) High School Principal Achenbach informed the Board that 19 new students registered in grades 7-12 but 10 have moved away. The school year began with 64 students in grades 7-8, compared to 65 last year; and 155 students in grades 9-12, compared to 147 last year.
C) High School Principal Achenbach informed the Board that the sexuality education committee comprised of Public Health Nurse Lora Wier, Doctors Carolynn Moore and Tim Sinton, Youth Enhancement Services Representative Leslie Kesler, Physical Education Teacher Randy Gramm and himself as an administrator, continues to meet and is currently looking for good resources to provide parents and guardians with the means of imparting the necessary information to educate students on this subject.
Elementary Principal Chuck Gameon reported to the Board on the following matters.
A) Elementary Principal Gameon informed the Board that the elementary will conduct the first benchmark for AIMSWEB next week and will continue to implement Progress Monitoring, an assessment process that analyzes improvement and progress.
B) Elementary Principal Gameon informed the Board that the new elementary playground equipment is completely installed, being used, and is really liked by the students.
C) Elementary Principal Gameon informed the Board that the elementary enrollment is declining as expected. The beginning K-6 enrollment for this school year is 177, compared to 184 last year, but Elementary Principal Gameon noted that the kindergarten class has 22 students rather than the 15 projected last spring.
D) Elementary Principal Gameon informed the Board that the Elementary Back To School Night was held on Tuesday, September 7th. Elementary Principal Gameon met with all parents present in the elementary gymnasium from 6:00-6:30 pm and then parents went into the individual classrooms for a meeting with the teachers. Elementary Principal Gameon noted that attendance was only at 60-65%, rather than the usual 70-75%, and attributed this decline to holding this meeting on the Tuesday after the Labor Day break.
E) Elementary Principal Gameon informed the Board that the rebate program with Cellular One is going very well, noting that the District will receive another rebate check for about $1,200 soon. Elementary Principal Gameon further noted that additional news articles about this easy rebate program will be made to encourage everyone to participate.
F) Elementary Principal Gameon informed the Board that he has already sent two letters home to parents since the beginning of the school year to keep students and parents aware of the mountain lion danger, noting that there were two sightings of mountain lions in or near town again today.
G) Elementary Principal Gameon informed the Board that the elementary school is again participating in the state grant program for RTI, Response to Intervention. There will again be two, two day trainings this school year but they will be in Great Falls rather than Helena. Elementary Principal Gameon noted that he plans to provide the Board with information about the RTI process each month.
SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT A copy of the Superintendent’s Report provided to the Board by Supt. St. John is attached to the minutes of this meeting.
A) Supt. St. John reviewed his report with the Board at this time.
B) Supt. St. John asked that the Board inform him whether they plan to attend MCEL in Billings by October 1st. Supt. St. John encouraged the Board to take the opportunity to attend this annual valuable training for trustees and administrators.
C) Supt. St. John informed the Board that he has never received a response from MUST to his correspondence explaining why the District is not agreeing to pay the contribution adjustment, but did receive a memorandum that the contribution adjustment has been lowered from $480 to $384 per participant due to a decrease in the unfunded liability for MUST.
D) Supt. St. John informed the Board of several additional costs that the District has incurred in the rebuilding of the crow’s nest. The District reimbursed the Booster Club just over $2,100 for additional costs for lumber and siding and had to purchase a wireless scoreboard panel for over $1,200. There will be a bill from Eclipse Engineering for $1,200 for the architectural design plan and stamp and an electrical materials bill for an unknown amount from Teton Electric. Supt. St. John noted that this new building would not have been possible without the number of volunteer man hours from Robert McKay, Larry Renteria, Steve Mellinger, Val Valdez, Mike Maples, Bob Scott, Kirk Moore, Terry and Christina Goodspeed, to name a few.
Chairman Mark Henderson excused Elementary Principal Chuck Gameon from the meeting at 8:00 p.m.
POLICY
Second Reading of Revised Policy #2421 A committee comprised of Supt. St. John and Trustees Brodie Gollehon, Kirk Moore and Mark Salmond had met and developed a revised policy #2421 on promotion and retention for the Board to consider on second reading. The revised policy was a combination of wording from the old policy and wording from the MTSBA model policies that the committee felt would best meet the circumstances of promotion and retention for the district.
Trustee Sharon Rice provided the Board with written out revisions she would like made to this policy. Trustee Rice stated that only the school can promote or retain, but a parent can hold back or place forward and feels this change of terminology is very important and needs to be used in any revision to policy #2421. Trustee Rice noted that with her revisions she had tried to cover all possible bases with language that would address either the school or a parent holding back or forward placing a student, but still placing the final say with the parent.
The Board and administration discussed the committee’s proposed revised policy and the additional revisions requested by Trustee Rice. It was the consensus of the Board that the committee should meet again to review the revisions proposed by Trustee Rice and discuss them with both principals. If the committee determines that further revisions should be made to this policy, they will bring them for the entire Board to consider for another second reading at the October Board Meeting.
CONSIDER OUT OF STATE TRAVEL Supt. St. John reminded the Board that policy states they must approve any out of state travel and FFA is requesting to attend the national convention. FFA President John Park and FFA Recorder Connor Hodgskiss addressed the Board at this time stating that they along with FFA member Mariah Wearley, FFA Advisor Milford Wearley, and FFA Student Teacher Nick Troy plan to attend the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis during the week of October 19th. It was noted that they attend this event every other year and so few members were going, even though it is the week of break for teachers’ convention, because of conflicts with volleyball and football games. The Board was reminded that the only expense to the District is the cost of a substitute for Mr. Wearley, as the FFA Chapter covers all of their travel costs.
A motion was made by Kirk Moore, seconded by Brodie Gollehon and unanimously carried to approve allowing the FFA to travel out of state to attend the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis on October 19th-24th. Trustee Sharon Rice requested that the FFA members in attendance report back to the Board at the November Board Meeting on what took place and what they learned at this national event.
Supt. St. John informed the Board that the FFA had planned to also ask for approval to attend the Old West Regional Range Judging event in Scranton, North Dakota the weekend of September 18th and 19th but there was not enough interest to pursue attending this event.
EMPLOY BUILDING CUSTODIAN Supt. St. John reminded the Board that he had accepted the resignation of Randy Bishop effective September 10, 2010 and advertised this vacancy. Supt. St. John informed the Board that five interviews were held and the administration would recommend the employment of Chris Garramon to fill this vacancy.
A motion was made by Sharon Rice, seconded by Kirk Moore and unanimously carried to accept the administrations’ recommendation and employ Christopher Garramon for the 2010-2011 school year and place him on a specific non-certified contract for the position of pm building custodian at the wage rate of $8.00 per hour in accordance with the current non-certified salary schedule, with a raise to $8.25 per hour at the end of a satisfactory six month probationary period or beginning with the April 2011 pay period.
EMPLOY HIGH SCHOOL HEAD BOYS BASKETBALL COACH Supt. St. John informed the Board that the administration had conducted two interviews for the high school head boys basketball coach vacancy and was prepared to recommend the employment of Louis King for this position, but instead would recommend this item be tabled until the October Board Meeting. Supt. St. John informed the Board that Mr. King soon will have additional work duties beyond his full time position as the Choteau Activities Director, enjoys his junior high and “C” boys basketball coaching positions, and feels he is quite “green” for the head coaching position so he has requested, and Athletic Director Nate Achenbach is in agreement with, postponing making this assignment until next month in case someone else comes forward that is interested and qualified to fill this position. Chairman Mark Henderson stated that this agenda item would be tabled until the October Board Meeting as recommended by the administration.
EMPLOY ACTIVITY TICKET TAKER Supt. St. John informed the Board that last year’s activity ticket taker Della Yeager had resigned because of her class schedule at the College of Great Falls this year, but has indicated that she would be interested and available to job share the position. Judy Balas volunteers and helps her daughter Patty Mellinger with her duties as the concessions manager and is interested and available to job share this position, so the administration would recommend filling this position through a job sharing arrangement.
A motion was made by Jonathan Stoltz, seconded by Brodie Gollehon and unanimously carried to accept the administrations’ recommendation and employ both Della Yeager and Judy Balas to job share the position of activity ticket taker for the 2010-2011 school year at a wage rate of $7.75 per hour.
EMPLOY LONG TERM SUBSTITUTE Supt. St. John informed the Board that Junior High Science Teacher Rachael Newmiller requested and was granted maternity leave for the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year. Mrs. Newmiller will be out of her classroom until October 25th, the Monday after the teacher convention break, which is a period of 38 school days. After much searching throughout the summer, High School Principal Achenbach arranged for approved substitute teacher Jami Grende to take over Mrs. Newmiller’s classroom during this period. The long term substitute rate if $85.00 per day as per the non-certified salary schedule, and this rate is used if a substitute is placed in a classroom for longer than 15 days and is responsible for all aspects of that classroom. Mrs. Grende is not a Montana certified teacher so cannot be placed under contract after 30 consecutive days, but is the best candidate for this position.
A motion was made by Kirk Moore, seconded by Mark Salmond and unanimously carried to accept the administrations’ recommendation and employ Jami Grende as a long term substitute for the classroom of Junior High Science Teacher Rachael Newmiller at a wage rate of $85.00 per day as per the current non-certified salary schedule, as that is what is best for the students in Mrs. Newmiller’s classes.
CONSIDER PEPSI BEVERAGE AGREEMENT Supt. St. John informed the Board that the District has been in an exclusive beverage agreement with Pepsi for over 15 years and the last agreement expired at the end of July. The administration requested proposals for such a beverage agreement from both Pepsi and Coke, noting that Coke never did submit a proposal. The Pepsi proposal is for a five year agreement as the District’s exclusive soft drink and vending machine supplier in exchange for an annual $500 scholarship, annual promotional event support in the amount of $200, annual sports calendars worth $250 provided, and an estimated annual rebate of $6,000 generated by a $5 rebate for the approximate 1,200 cases supplied for a grand total of $34,750 in estimated capital support provided over the 5 year period.
A motion was made by Mark Salmond, seconded by Brodie Gollehon and unanimously carried to accept the administrations’ recommendation and enter into an exclusive beverage agreement with Pepsi for a five year period effective August 1, 2010, with the terms of the agreement outlined in the copy attached to the minutes of this meeting.
UPDATE INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY TICKET PRICES Supt. St. John reminded the Board that they usually do and had established activity ticket prices at the August Board Meeting, but since that time it has come to his attention that our individual activity ticket prices are not consistent with the prices outlined in our 1B Athletic District Constitution. Choteau set the individual activity ticket prices at $4.00 for adults and $3.00 for students; whereas the 1B Athletic District Constitution states that for 1-3 game individual events an adult ticket price should be $5.00 and students $3.00, and for 4-6 stacked game individual events an adult ticket price should be $6.00 and students $4.00. Supt. St. John noted that all other schools in the 1B Athletic District are charging these prices and we should too, to be in compliance with the Athletic District Constitution and to help support our athletic activities with additional revenue.
A motion was made by Kirk Moore, seconded by Jonathan Stolz and unanimously carried to set individual event activity ticket prices to coincide and be in compliance with the 1B Athletic District Constitution for the 2010-2011 school year as outlined below.
1 to 3 Game Individual Event Ticket Prices: Adults - $5.00
Students - $3.00
4 to 6 Stacked Game Individual Event Ticket Prices: Adults - $6.00
Students - $4.00
It was discussed and agreed that the Board will continue to set activity ticket prices at the August Board Meeting and the individual event activity ticket prices will be set in accordance with the 1B Athletic District Constitution, so that they can be changed at any point if and when the constitution is amended, and the Board needs to continue to set the prices for the District’s all season passes.
BLEACHER PROJECT PROPOSED BY BOOSTER CLUB Supt. St. John informed the Board that the Booster Club has done a lot of legwork and gotten quotes to have a set of permanent bleachers installed in front of the new crow’s nest. Booster Club President Katie Vandolah, Vice-President Brook Durocher, and Treasurer Lorraine DeBruycker addressed the Board at this time regarding the Booster Club’s proposal to install this set of permanent bleachers.
Mrs. Vandolah provided the Board with a design drawing and estimated costs for a new set of 10’ X 66’ aluminum permanent bleachers. The bleachers including materials, closed decking and freight would cost $42,012, the cement pad would cost $6,000, and the installation would cost $9,000 for a total project cost of approximately $57,012. Mrs. Vandolah also presented the Board with an outline of Booster Club projects and expenditures made on behalf of the District in the past, noting that they have already invested over $5,200 just in materials to renovate the existing bleachers over the past few years. Mrs. Vandolah informed the Board that the Booster Club will no longer provide any funding or labor to upgrade the existing bleachers as they feel they are inadequate, unsafe, and need to be replaced. Mrs. Vandolah noted that the Booster Club usually generates and expends close to $18,000 each year from such fund raisers as the fireworks stand, the Choteau Wrestling Classic concessions, the golf tournament, the annual membership drive, and 50/50 ticket sales at home events. Mrs. Vandolah informed the Board that the Booster Club kept $20,000 in the bank from last year’s fund raisers for the seed money or start up funding for this large project. Mrs. Vandolah informed the Board that the Booster Club is requesting the District contribute $20,000 out of the District’s Building Reserve Funds towards this project, since the $72,000 in building reserve funds are replenished every year and cannot be used for regular general fund expenditures such as teacher salaries. The Booster Club is also requesting that the District finance the remaining $17,000, which the Booster Club will repay prior to May 1, 2012 with money generated by the next two year’s fund raisers, so that the Booster Club can proceed and see the completion of this project hopefully this year yet. Mrs. Vandolah noted that the Booster Club has generated at least $15,000 for the past three years through their many fund raisers. Mrs. Vandolah also provided the Board with a letter from past trustee Ross Salmond, since he could not be present at the meeting, that outlined the history of the various set of bleachers being used at the football field and encouraged the Board to pursue this opportunity to install a permanent set of bleachers. Mrs. Vandolah further noted that the football program has obligated $3,000 from their football discount card sales towards this bleacher project that will be the cushion to cover engineering, permit, and other unexpected costs. Mrs. Vandolah ended her presentation to the Board stating that the Booster Club feels that they are providing the District with an opportunity to have a $57,000 project completed with a final outlay by the District of only one third of the total cost.
The Board questioned Clerk Davis regarding the financing of such a project. Clerk Davis informed the Board that the $72,000 in Building Reserve Funds was approved by the voters for a 10 year period that will expire with the 2013-2014 budget cycle. Clerk Davis reminded the Board that these funds have been used for the past four years and will need to be used for the remaining four years to upgrade and keep the District’s technology program, initially purchased with a $1.1 million federal earmark, current and viable. Clerk Davis noted that the Building Reserve ballot language not only addressed maintenance and upgrades for the technology but the District’s facilities. The funds available for facility upgrades was generated in the first two years of the Building Reserve levy and have been used for projects such as the new bottom bleachers in the high school gymnasium and the replacing the shakes on the high school auditorium. Clerk Davis informed the Board that as of July 1, 2010 this balance was $88,000 and the Board has consistently requested that $30,000 be held as a rainy day savings account, which means there is a balance of $58,000. Clerk Davis noted that this balance is currently funding the additional costs of at least $5,000 to rebuild the crow’s nest and is available for whatever other facility upgrades the Board approves. Clerk Davis did state she has grave concerns with using taxpayer dollars to finance the remaining $17,000 of this project and does not even know if such an agreement would be legal or could be properly accounted for. Clerk Davis stated she felt the Board needed to consider and be prepared to pay the full $37,000 out of the Building Reserve Funds as the District’s contribution for this project if they were considering financing the $17,000 as requested by the Booster Club.
The Board, administration, and public discussed this proposed project further at this time. It was noted several times that the current bleachers are moved all over town for a number of events and since they are not made to be portable, they will not hold up if they continue to be moved time after time throughout the year. It was also noted that the sets of bleachers on the away side of the football field are not safe or worth being rebuilt. A permanent set of bleachers on the home side of the football field would alleviate these problems; and if the one good set of current bleachers with aisles and rails is placed on the away side of the football field and the smaller good set is placed at the tennis courts, they should hold up for a number of years if they are not moved again. It was the consensus of the Board that expending $20,000 towards an almost $60,000 project was a very good deal that should be taken advantage of, but questioned financing the other $17,000. Mrs. Vandolah informed the Board that the Booster Club has looked into finding a co-signer on a loan and other financing options for this $17,000, but felt having the District finance it would be easier and faster to ensure that the project could get started and finished right away. Mrs. Vandolah noted that if financing the $17,000 would hold up approval of the District’s $20,000 contribution of the project, the Booster Club would have time to secure other financing means for the $17,000 before the project was completed. The Board questioned if the project would need to go through the bidding process and after much discussion, it was the consensus that this project is being spearheaded, organized, and watched over by the Booster Club not the District and the District is only making a financial contribution to the project.
A motion was made by Sharon Rice, seconded by Mark Salmond and unanimously carried to pay $20,000 out of the Building Reserve Funds as the District’s contribution towards the Choteau Booster Club’s bleacher project as proposed.
The Board questioned if not financing the $17,000 would keep the Booster Club from getting this project off the ground right away. Mrs. Vandolah said it was a possibility if they could not find someway to have a loan co-signed. Clerk Davis reminded the Board that the District actually paid off the balance of the loan taken out when the multipurpose building was built when pledges did not come in as promised and would more than likely do the same if the Booster Club was unable to pay off the $17,000 loan, so if they wanted to the Board could make a motion to co-sign for such a loan contingent upon the legality of doing so.
A motion was made by Mark Salmond, seconded by Ron Daley and unanimously carried to co-sign a loan, if need be, for the Choteau Booster Club in the amount of $17,000 repayable by May 1, 2012 contingent upon the District determining the legality of entering into such a loan agreement. The Board and administration requested that the Booster Club still try to find a means of securing such a loan without the District co-signing or financing it in anyway. The Board and administration expressed their gratitude; noting that the Booster Club and all its members well deserve countless thanks for all the work they do through their numerous fund raisers, that allow them to spearhead such big projects as this and the many others in the past.
APPROVE ATTENDANCE AGREEMENTS A motion was made by Kirk Moore, seconded by Sharon Rice and unanimously carried to approve the following attendance agreements as designated.
Attendance Agreements: HIGH SCHOOL – Laberta Simpson (receiving district – tuition waived) and Jill Brubaker (sending district – tuition waived.)
DISPOSITION OF OLD UNREDEEMED WARRANTS A motion was made by Brodie Gollehon, seconded by Ron Daley and unanimously carried to dispense with the following old unredeemed warrants as outlined.
1) Void old claims clearing warrant #14825 for $15.55 issued to Josh Sonju on 6/30/09, to be deposited in the Elementary Lunch Fund.
2) Void old claims clearing warrant #14560 for $20.94 issued to Shari St. John on 4/9/09, to be deposited in the Elementary Miscellaneous Indirect Cost Pool Federal Funds.
ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF AND APPROVE DEPOSIT OF CHECKS A motion was made by Jonathan Stoltz, seconded by Mark Salmond and unanimously carried to acknowledge receipt of and approve depositing the following checks in the appropriate funds.
1) Vandolah Chiropractic Clinic check #9103 in the amount of $583.00 for their 6/1/11 scoreboard sponsorship payment, to be deposited in the High School Miscellaneous Federal Fund.

3) Schwann’s Food Services check #254816 in the amount of $38.42 for rebates, to be deposited in the Elementary Lunch Fund.
High School Principal Nate Achenbach left the meeting at 10:00 p.m.
STRATEGIC MAINTENANCE/FACILITY REPORT Supt. St. John informed the Board that Head of Maintenance Larry Sattler, Head Custodian Lyle Arps, and himself performed the biannual maintenance and safety walk-a-bout on September 3, 2010, noting that the purpose of this walk-a-bout is to tour the school facilities and grounds to review and identify maintenance and safety issues. Supt. St. John provided and reviewed with the Board the report generated from this walk-a-bout, a copy of which is attached to the minutes of this meeting.
NEGOTIATIONS REPORT The Board Negotiations Committee Spokesman Mark Henderson informed the Board that the Board and CEA Negotiation Committees met again on September 1, 2010 but still did not reach an agreement. Spokesman Mark Henderson reported that at that time the Board Negotiation Committee went with an either/or proposal of their last offer on the table in June, which was $250 on the base with new RIFF language or $50 on the base with no RIFF language which the CEA Negotiation Committee immediately rejected. Spokesman Henderson informed the Board that another negotiation session could not be scheduled until September 15th and Clerk Davis noted that the CEA met with their union representative on September 8th.
