ITEM #7 – CONSIDERATION OF AND VOTE ON MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF REVISION OF BOARD POLICY BC – SAFETY PROGRAMS.
Reji Varghese made a motion to approve revision of Board Policy BC – Safety Programs. Sue Sullivan seconded the motion. Vote: Sullivan, aye; Johnson, aye; Varghese, aye; Jenison, aye.
House Bill 1512 required that school districts have written disaster plans and procedures and that such plans be filed with the local emergency management organization. The current language in
Policy BC regarding "Disaster Drills" needs to be revised. The approved revision adds the following paragraph to Policy BC:
Disaster Plans and Drills: The District shall have written plans and procedures for protecting students, staff, and visitors from natural and man-made disasters and emergencies. Disaster plans shall be placed on file with the District and with the local emergency management organization. Annually, the Administration shall report to the Board the status of emergency preparedness and identified safety needs for each school. Disaster drills shall be performed periodically throughout the school year as set forth in Administrative Procedures.
ITEM #8 – CONSIDERATION OF AND VOTE ON MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF REVISION OF BOARD POLICY DI – LEAVE.
Melinda Johnson made a motion to approve revision of Board Policy DI – Leave. Sue Sullivan seconded the motion. Vote: Sullivan, aye; Johnson, aye; Varghese, aye; Jenison, aye. The Sick Leave Sharing Policy has been deleted until July 1, 2004, so the language referring to sick leave sharing needs to be taken out until the policy is reinstated. The next change would allow employees with less than four years experience with the district to be paid a sick leave payoff if the employee leaves with less than four years experience. It is believed this would discourage the use of sick leave for employees with one to three years experience who know they are leaving at the end of the year. The other revision would allow an employee with vacation leave to carry over up to 10 days for one year. It extends the time it must be used from September 30 to June 30. This change would allow vacation time to be spread throughout the year more evenly. This year with the later start of school, it was difficult to complete vacations by September 30.
ITEM #9 – CONSIDERATION OF AND VOTE ON MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF REVISION OF BOARD POLICY EK – STUDENT SERVICES.
Julie Jenison said there are typographical errors on the policy revision. A corrected copy was presented to Board members. Sue Sullivan made a motion to approve revision of Board Policy EK – Student Services. Reji Varghese seconded the motion. Vote: Sullivan, aye; Johnson, aye; Varghese, aye; Jenison, aye. Senate Bill 343 requires that school districts adopt a policy allowing self-administration of medication. The revision adds the following paragraphs to Board Policy EK – Student Services:
Administering Medication: Medication may be administered to students as prescribed by law. For purposes of this policy, medication or medicine includes prescription medication as well as over-the-counter medicines. Students may not retain possession of or self-administer any medication unless written permission is granted by the District as set forth below.
A student who has a legitimate health need for a medicine shall deliver the medicine to the school principal in its original container with the written authorization of the student’s parent or guardian for administration of the medicine. The parent’s authorization must identify the student, the medicine and include or refer to the label for instructions on administration of medicines that are available in the office of the building principal.
The school shall keep a record of the students to whom medicine is administered, the date of administration, the person who administered the medicine, and the name or type of medicine administered.
Self-administration of medication: Pursuant to Oklahoma law, students may be allowed to carry and self-administer prescribed inhaled asthma medications according to the provisions of this policy. The District shall not incur any liability as a result of any injury arising from the self-administration of asthma medication by a student. If the requirements of this policy are fulfilled, a student diagnosed with asthma may possess and use his or her labeled asthma medication at all times. The student’s parent or guardian shall provide any documentation or other information as set forth in Administrative Regulations. Additionally, the District may allow through Administrative Regulations for the self-administration of other medications when students have a life threatening condition.
ITEM #10 – CONSIDERATION OF AND VOTE ON MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF ADOPTION OF HOUSE BILL 1712 RESOLUTION.
Reji Varghese made a motion to approve adoption of House Bill 1712 Resolution. Melinda Johnson seconded the motion. Dr. Capps explained that the $500.00 payment would be the maximum amount paid by the district. Following discussion, Reji Varghese amended the motion to approve adoption of House Bill 1712 Resolution with a correction in the last paragraph as follows: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Putnam City Board of Education approves a maximum payment of $500.00 to join SAVE AD VALOREM FOR STUDENTS. Melinda Johnson seconded the amended motion. Vote: Sullivan, nay; Johnson, aye; Varghese, aye; Jenison, aye.
HB 1712, which was passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor, exempts certain sales taxes. This exemption could result in a future loss of $8 to $9 million in ad valorem taxes. It is believed that this bill is unconstitutional and that other industries could seek exemption from taxes based on this bill. The intent of the OSSBA is to have 200 school districts join in this challenge. Each school district will pay a maximum of $500.00 to the law firm handling the suit.
Captain Pierce of Tinker Air Force Base contacted Coronado Heights Elementary School principal Kelly Suchy wanting to recognize Coronado for their support of our troops during the war.

He said the past two years have provided him an opportunity to be part of a team of dedicated administrators, staff and volunteers. He said the district had survived hard times because of this dedication. He said he is looking forward to continuing his service to the district.
