ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS ABSENT: Donna Coffey and Brenda Stephens CHAPEL HILL-CARRBORO CITY SCHOOL BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS PRESENT: Chair James Barrett, and Members Dani Rasi, Joal Broun, Pat Heinrich, Margaret Samuels and Superintendent Baldwin, and Assistant Superintendent Todd LoFrese were also present. CHAPEL HILL-CARRBORO CITY SCHOOL BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS ABSENT: Andrew Davidson Vice Chair Rich called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m. Commissioner Rich said that Chair Dorosin would not be able to attend tonight's meeting. 1. Welcome and Opening Remarks Commissioner Rich and Commissioner McKee reviewed the history of the Whitted Building. James Barrett thanked the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) for the invitation to meet this evening, and noted this is his board's first meeting without Annetta Streater, who resigned from the board a few weeks ago. He said she is missed. Steve Halkiotis also thanked the BOCC for the opportunity to meet, and introduced his board. He said Donna Coffey is unable to attend this evening. He said he is concerned about unfunded mandates being put on the schools by the state, plus the loss of impact fees. He said he would like to set up a group of elected officials, plus superintendents, and County staff to discuss the rapid growth that is occurring in their district. He said concerns have been forwarded to the Town of Hillsborough, but have received no response. He said Orange County Schools (OCS) have not been part of conversation, but OCS and the County bear the burden to educate the children in the district, which are ever increasing. He said the Town has no sense of how this affects the number of students in their schools. 2 Commissioner Marcoplos said he would like to discuss a few additional items. Commissioner Rich said this could be done under Information Items. 2. Projected Impact of State Mandated Class Size Reductions Both School systems have provided information on the impact of House Bill 13 regarding mandated class size reductions. See supplemental page 3 in the Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) information, and supplemental Attachment 1 in the OCS information. Dr. Todd Wirt said he wants to keep the BOCC up to date on HB 13, and noted there is a one-page summary at the Commissioners' Places. He said OCS currently falls within the required class size averages for 2017-2018. He said he will soon have to submit a report to the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), which will include numbers for every school, grade level, and class; teacher duties; the source of funds from which those teachers are paid; the number of students in classes; the number of program enhancement teachers (art, music, PE) and the source of the funds to pay for those teachers. He said all of this would have to be submitted with an affidavit. Dr. Todd Wirt said, based on current staff and enrollment numbers, OCS will need 5 additional teaching positions to meet the required average class size for 2018-2019. He said this number is based on the desire to keep the average teacher to class size ratio in grades 4- 8 at 1:25, and 1:32 in 9-12 grades. Dr. Wirt said the General Assembly (GA) made the commitment to revisit the idea of giving school systems a separate dollar amount for enhancement teachers in the future. He said historically schools have had some flexibility to be able to use state funding for enhancement teachers. He said the session does not begin until May 2018, which is in the heart of the OCS budget season. Dr. Todd Wirt said OCS has made some tough decisions already, and he feels confident in what is being presented to the BOCC tonight. He said there is some flexibility in the class size requirements in the dual language programs. He said a dual language program will begin at New Hope Elementary next year. He said the five additional teachers would not cause major facility implications at this time, but there is growth in both Mebane and Hillsborough. Commissioner Rich asked if teachers were increased, will space also need to be increased. Dr. Todd Wirt said space needs are still being evaluated at this point. Dr. Pamela Baldwin reviewed the following information: A capacity analysis shared last year has been updated with current numbers, and in accordance with the passage of House Bill 13. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools received a waiver from class size requirements until 2020 due to Project ADVANCE being part of a state teacher compensation pilot study. Unless the state makes revisions to the current law in 2018-19 the district's level of service will exceed the threshold for when a new elementary school is needed. The Lincoln Center project completion will create an additional 189 elementary school seats and will provide a buffer should class size levels remain unchanged at the conclusion of the pilot. 3. Cost Impact of Paying Living Wage for Service Contracts or Internalizing Positions Both School systems provided information on the cost impact of paying the Living Wage for service contracts or internalizing positions. Pam Jones reviewed the following information for OCS: 3 FY2016 continues to offer living wage to its employees as prescribed by Orange County. In addition, the State's FY2018 budget included funding ear-marked for increasing bus driver pay statewide. OCS received approximately $112,862 for its drivers. On September 11, the Board of Education approved a salary schedule for bus drivers that increase driver pay by an average of surrounding districts. With this change, all drivers exceed the current living wage level and approximately 27% of drivers exceed $15 per hour. OCS currently contracts with a private firm for custodial service at nine of its 13 schools. An Alternate Bid obtained during the initial solicitation in 2016 would have increased the bid cost over $245,000 for the bidder to pay all employees a wage commensurate with Orange County's living wage at that time. Funding constraints prohibited the award of the Alternate Bid. Recent discussions have challenged District staff to consider options to the contract service delivery model. Preliminary cost data indicates a minimum of$500,000 additional funding would be required to support an all OCS staff custodial service. County Commissioners are aware of the OCS Board of Education's desire to continue to honor its employees through a living wage commensurate with that set by the County. However, the Board of Education is concerned about the long-term viability of meeting the $15 /hour living wage intended for FY2018 given funding constraints anticipated in the FY2018 budget. Pam Jones said OCS has based its living wage on the County's previous living wage, despite the fact that the Board of County Commissioners raised it to $15 this year. She said OCS is unable to afford that wage. Commissioner Marcoplos asked if the number of subcontractors who are local Orange County residents is known. Dr. Todd Wirt said 18 of 31 contracted employees live in Orange County. Todd LoFrese reviewed the following information for CHCCS: The Board of Education began paying a living wage in 2015-16 and formally adopted a living wage policy in January 2017. All district employees are paid at or above the living wage rate. The district requested an additional $700,000 expansion during the 2017-18 budget process to pay a living wage for employees of contractors that have displaced or may displace district staff. This was also a goal of our living wage policy. The district has two service contracts that fall into this category, custodial evening cleaning services and our child nutrition program. In June 2017, bids were opened for custodial cleaning services that included an option to pay a living wage. As highlighted in the attached materials, the additional cost for paying a living wage was approximately $300,000. We also conducted an analysis on the cost to internalize the positions. That analysis required an even more sizable increase of over $1.6 million. Ultimately it was decided that we could not proceed with either a living wage or internalizing positions as the additional local funding received for 2017-18 was only sufficient to cover our continuation expenses, not expansion requests. Commissioner Jacobs asked if the living wage could be phased in over a period of time to allow for more financial planning. Todd LoFrese said this has not been discussed, but is something CHCCS could consider. Commissioner Rich asked if both schools systems would please consider this. Steve Halkiotis asked if the number of Chapel Hill contracted employees that live in Orange County is known. Todd LoFrese said he does not know, but can research this. Commissioner Marcoplos said he remembered a discussion about the added cost of paying in house contractors would, in part, be due to more equipment and machinery. 4 Todd LoFrese said additional equipment would need to be purchased if contractors were brought in house. He said the $1.6 million did not include this equipment, as it was just a wage analysis. Commissioner Price asked if the number of employees in the contracted services could be identified. Todd LoFrese said he does not know this number, but he said there are district custodial staff that are in the buildings during the day. He said each elementary school has a full time and a part-time employee; each middle and high school has three full-time employees. Commissioner Price asked if all these employees receive the living wage. Todd LoFrese said yes, and all full-time employees receive medical and retirement benefits. Commissioner Price asked if the difference between district and contracted custodial staff could be clarified. Todd LoFrese said there are custodians in the schools during the day, who are district employees. He said the contracted employees clean the schools in the evenings. James Barrett asked if OCS could explain how it handled school bus drivers in its budget this year. Pam Jones said the State's FY2018 budget included funding ear-marked for increasing bus driver pay statewide. She said OCS received approximately $112,862 for its drivers. On September 11, the Board of Education approved a salary schedule for bus drivers that increased driver pay by an average of surrounding districts. With this change, all drivers exceed the current living wage level and approximately 27% of drivers exceed $15 per hour. Todd LoFrese said CHCCS also received those funds, but in a much smaller amount, and CHCCS is in discussions with the State about this discrepancy. Commissioner Rich asked if bus drivers are full-time employees with benefits. Pam Jones said it depends on the number of hours, and some are eligible for benefits and some are not. CHCCS said this is the same in their district. 4. Status of School Bond Projects and Update on the Lincoln Center Groundbreaking Both School Systems have provided updates on the Bond Projects, approved as part of the successful November 2016 Bond Referendum in their agenda packets. CHCCS Todd LoFrese said projected schedules for the Lincoln Center and Chapel Hill High School projects are included in this evening's packet. He said bids opened today for the Lincoln Center, which came in significantly over budget. He said the CHCCS Board will discuss this in the coming weeks. He said the Chapel Hill High School project will go out to bid in late spring, and go to construction shortly thereafter. He said there have been some questions regarding a phasing plan for construction, given that students will still be at the school. He said the plan is multi-phased, and specific details are forthcoming. He said the new addition will be built first, and students will move into that addition so that the old building can be deconstructed. James Barrett said there had been some concerns from the teachers at Chapel Hill High School about how the traditional lay out of the building will meet the needs of modern education, and he said the School Board had a good discussion with these teachers. He said a public ground breaking ceremony will be scheduled once contracts and schedules are finalized. 5 Commissioner Rich asked if CHCCS has a plan to keep the parents informed about the building project at CHCCS. Todd LoFrese said information will be shared once the process is further along, likely starting in January or February 2018. He said the district will use multiple methods of communication: using social media, newsletters, Connect Ed, meeting with the PTA, etc. James Barret said to include parents at feeder schools as well. Commissioner Rich asked if the BOCC could be kept informed as well, as parents often approach Board members out and about in the County. OCS Pam Jones reviewed the Bond Projects update: o Orange High School Geothermal HVAC project Reece Noland and McElrath, Inc. has been retained to design the project • Test wells are in process to determine conductivity of soils • Multi-year project o Cedar Ridge High School Classroom Wing • Corley Redfoot Architects, designed the original school building and has been retained to also design this classroom addition. • Project design is on-going. • Occupancy anticipated for beginning of school year August 2020. o Acquisition of Eno River Academy Charter School o Other bond projects related to infrastructure replacement are reflected on the attached schedule in their agenda packet in the year in which commencement is expected. o Bond projects are aligned with planned bond sale cash flow requirements. 5. Review of the Use and Purpose of School Resource Officers Both School Systems have provided information regarding the use and purpose of having School Resource Officers in the schools. See supplemental pages 23-106 in the CHCCS information, and supplemental Attachments 3 and 4 in the OCS information. Todd LoFrese said OCS and CHCCS have a joint video, which was showed to the BOCC. CHCCS Todd LoFrese said CHCCS is proud of its SRO program, and reviewed the following information: During the budget process a question was raised by a Commissioner on whether the separate School Resource Officer (SRO) and Nurse funding should be included in the ADM funding, to allow districts more flexibility to pay for other identified needs, instead of using the money for SROs. Ultimately the BOCC approved keeping the funding structure the same, but committed to an additional discussion at the joint boards meeting. District administration is in strong support of SRO program and supports the current funding structure. We have discussed our program at Board meetings in May and September 2017, shared a variety of resources including our professional development efforts, school incident data, and information about our first SRO program summit. Board packets from both meetings are included with this memorandum. OCS Dr. Todd Wirt reviewed the information below: 6 OCS has a long-standing relationship with the Orange County Sheriff's office to provide SROs in all of its schools. The current agreement with Orange County to fund such services is attached (Attachment 3). SROs in each school partner with the school administration to provide a safe campus. They maintain full certification as a law enforcement officer while assigned as an SRO and may provide law enforcement duties as appropriate and called for on the school campus. SROs: serve as positive role models for parents and students and are called upon to assist in a variety of interactions with both groups. They are an integral part of the school community fabric. District OCS staff periodically holds sessions with staff and SROs to enhance this relationship and ensure clear understanding of roles. Steve Halkiotis said he wished he had SROs when he was a principal. He said the SROs have been welcomed at their schools by the parents, and he praised both systems for their SRO programs. Commissioner McKee said he sees SROs as having a calming effect in the schools, and not as a police entity. He said when he was a student at Orange High School, there were riots, and a student died. He said an SRO may have been able to deescalate such a situation. Steve Halkiotis said this history is important, as the student was a young white man from a rural family who ran to defend an African American Assistant Principal. He said there were good people back then, and there are good people now. Commissioner Marcoplos said he appreciated these perspectives on SROs. He said he brought this up as it related to budgets, and wondered if funds were tight would schools rather have more teacher assistants or keep the SROs. Commissioner Marcoplos said the SRO program stared in the 1990s, and asked if an SRO has ever fired a gun in either district. OCS and CHCCS both said never. Commissioner Marcoplos asked if there is a reason for an SRO to carry a gun. Steve Halkiotis said SROs are law enforcement. Commission Marcoplos said they are also teachers. Dr. Pamela Baldwin said the gun is part of their uniform, and she would not ask an officer or a soldier to change their uniform, so she would not ask an SRO do that either. Commissioner Marcoplos said he can understand that, and he just questioned the usefulness of a displayed gun in schools. Steve Halkiotis said there was an active shooter at Orange High School a few years ago, and the school was fortunate to have two retired Highway Patrolmen as Drivers' Education teachers. He said the Highway Patrolmen got to the shooter before the SROs did, and their skill and training came in handy that day. He said mental health is a huge piece of this puzzle. Rani Dasi referred to Commissioner Marcoplos question of using SRO funds for teaching assistants, and said it is not such a simple trade. She said classroom support comes first, and SROs are part of this picture. She said school leadership identifies the need for SROs. She said the guns carried by SROs are not for the children, but rather to protect the campus from possible outside threats. She said many of the schools have open campuses that are not up to current safety standards. She said SROs can be a child's first introduction to this kind of authority, in a safe way and positive way. She said CHCCS has greatly involved the community around the issue of SROs, and created a memorandum of understanding. She said data is reviewed on a regular basis, and there has been a significant decline in incidences. Commissioner McKee said he is greatly impressed by the way the two districts have set up the SROs program; the gun is not the focus but the person of the SRO is. Commissioner Price agreed with Rani Dasi and Commissioner McKee, and said the benefits of the SRO certainly outweigh the cons. 7 Matthew Roberts shared related stories. Commissioner Burroughs shared some historical data on SROs in the CHCCS. She said one other element is the adults, who are involved in the lives of students: teachers, as well as parents, guardians, etc. She said sometimes the adults are the ones with the mental health needs, which can come into the school directly and indirectly. She said the staff and SROs work together closely to handle these sensitive, and often confidential situations. She said she supported SROs. Dr. Pamela Baldwin said this discussion is an excellent example of the partnerships between the schools and the County, and an opportunity to explain the SRO program so all are on the same page. Commissioner Rich said SROs are part of the schools' policies, and the Board of County Commissioners cannot tell the schools what to do. She encouraged both districts to share this information with parents. 6. Mental Health Collaboration between the Schools and the County Both School Systems and the County have provided information regarding Mental Health collaboration between the Schools and the County. Mental Health Collaboration between the Schools and the County Travis Myren said the Board of County Commissioners authorized funding for a Behavioral Health Systems of Care Analysis in the FY2017-18 Budget. The funding will be used to hire a consultant to prepare the analysis and make recommendations on system improvement and will focus on services available to residents up to 25 years old. A Request for Proposal (RFP) has been developed to solicit proposals from consultants with three primary deliverables: 1. Create an inventory of existing resources for mental health, substance abuse, and intellectual and developmental disabilities in Orange County serving ages 0-25. 2. Create a systems map of the existing mental health (including substance abuse, intellectual and development disabilities) resources for residents ages 0-25, identity areas of strength and weakness, and make recommendations for improvements to gaps in services, access to care, quality of care, ease of referral, etc. 3. Work with both the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) and Orange County Schools (OCS) in developing Behavioral Health Systems of Care assessments and scheduled implementation of programming as deemed necessary by the assessments over a multi-year time frame. The implementation phase could be piloted in the Family Success Alliance zones 4 and 6 in Year 1 of the program. In developing the RFP, the County engaged both school districts to review and provide input on the RFP document in early September. The proposals are due back on October 3rd and school district staff (Janet Cherry— Systems of Care Director for CHCCS and Sherita Cobb — Director of Student Support for OCS) have been invited to serve on the proposal review committee. Outside of the RFP process, the Health Department has also worked with representatives from both districts on the Cardinal Innovations Mental Health Collaborative where school based mental health has been a priority focus this year. The agencies partnered on direct mental health service provision at A.L. Stanback for children and families using Family Success 8 Alliance funding and non-profit providers such as El Futuro and Boomerang and on coordinating care for children of immigrant patients attending CHCCS schools who were experiencing bullying, language barrier issues, and bus safety concerns Janet Gerry, CHCCS System of Care Director, reviewed the following information: The district has been engaged in a review of our mental health services. Our focus has been to develop and implement strategies to promote awareness, ensure we are identifying students early, being clear about what individual supports are needed, and to removing barriers for mental health services and treatments. The district recently developed a request for proposals (RFP) for co-located mental health services to provide onsite support to our students. Service providers have been selected and the district is moving forward with agreements. The RFP and draft agreement are included, along with an overview of co-located mental health services. Commissioner McKee referred to the opioid crisis, and asked both districts if there has been an increase in opioids in their schools. Sherita Cobb, OCS Student Support Services Director, said OCS has not seen an uptick, but have offered courses to OCS staff, including social workers, counselors, and nurses. She presented the following information: • As with any school system, OCS experiences challenges with supporting the mental health needs of its students and school community. While there is much work to be done in this area, students are currently supported through: Contract with LCSW: Orange County Schools' contract with a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. The social worker's role in the district is as follows: provide therapeutic support to the 3 Special Education classes for students with behavioral concerns, provide staff development for social workers and school counselors and work with students/school teams on strategies for managing behavior effectively • School Based Mental Health: Within the next month, OCS will enter into an MOU with a new vendor partner. This provider accepts clients on Medicaid as well as some private services providers (BCBS is one of insurers accepted). Additionally, this new agency has providers that can provide substance abuse counseling if the district wants to engage in that service as well. In addition, parents are provided a handbook with comprehensive service providers and service descriptions as prepared by Mental Health of America of the Triangle for Orange, Person and Chatham Counties. Steve Halkiotis praised Ms. Cobb for the work that she does in OCS, and Ms. Gerry in CHCCS, since this type of work was not done in schools years ago. James Barrett said he appreciated Ms. Gerry, and all she does. Commissioner Burroughs echoed support for the wrap around model of service provision. She said the opioid issue is real in many parts of the country but numbers are low in Orange County. Commissioner Price asked if the funding for mental health services is divided up in a particular way. She said there is great need for these programs, and the need is likely to increase. She asked if the funding sources are secure. Dr. Pamela Baldwin said funding is from state and local grants, and the need is a high priority for CHCCS, who will shift funds as needed to support students. She agreed that needs are increasing. Janet Gerry said the co-located mental health services agencies have been awarded a memorandum of agreement, so there is no cost there. She said if a child has insurance of any kind (private or Medicaid), the agency will bill the insurance. 9 Sherita Cobb said this is the same in OCS. Janet Gerry said one out of ten students seen is a non-payment slot. Commissioner Price asked if the districts feel overloaded now, and whether more staff will be needed in the future. Janet Gerry said there is one counselor in each elementary school, two in middle schools, and four at the high school level. She said social workers and nurses likely feel overloaded, but the schools are partnering with community agencies to provide the best service possible. Rani Dasi said there are increasing mental health needs and she is glad to be having this collaborative discussion, to assess the current status and adjust as necessary to plan for the future. Commissioner Rich asked if OCS and CHCCS collaborate on this issue. Janet Gerry said she used to work with Sherita Cobb, which has laid the groundwork for an increasingly collaborative relationship. Commissioner Rich asked if parents are being made aware of these services. Janet Gerry said this will be forthcoming on their school websites, and the point of contact will be the social workers. Sherita Cobb said OCS has a brochure of mental health services, which is shared in many ways with students and parents. 7. Information Item: • North Carolina School Boards Association —2017 Legislative Summary Commissioner Marcoplos said he has heard a lot of discussions about reviving/increasing vocational education classes around the country, and he would love to see more, well trained young tradespeople out there. He asked if this is a part of local conversations. James Barrett said one of the most popular classes in CHCCS is their bio-medical classes. He said CHCCS also has a fire academy. Tony McKnight said OCS has been working with the North Carolina Department of Commerce to connect students with registered apprenticeships, and OCS hopes to expand this. Dr. Todd Wirt said OCS has a comprehensive offering in this area, with a fire academy class having been added recently at Orange High School and a criminal justice program at Cedar Ridge High School. He said both of these programs feed into the EMT program at Durham Tech, which also offers a lot of trade programs as well. Tony McKnight said he has been to East Chapel Hill High School, and he is interested in going back. Commissioner Price reinforced what Commissioner Marcoplos was talking about, noting the connection between knowing a trade and successfully gaining employment. Commissioner Rich said it may be beneficial to have a follow up discussion during budget season. Commissioner Marcoplos said there is growing knowledge about the perils of football and brain damage. He asked if there has been any discussion of doing baseline studies on children, who are playing football, and if there has been any medical testing or diagnoses; and if so he asked if students can take this medical information with them. He said this topic must be talked about. Steve Halkiotis said he read that participation in high school football across the country is falling. He said OCS has two nationally certified medical trainers at its high schools; board 10 policies regarding concussions; and reports submitted on an annual basis to monitor the issue closely. James Barrett said the CHCCS board reviewed a concussion policy last week, and noted that it is not just a question of returning to play the sport, but being able to return to learn. He said CHCCS is also monitoring this issue closely. Joal Broun said the UNC team studying the concussion issue is a voluntary program, and is testing soccer players. Commissioner Jacobs said after football, soccer is the number one sport for concussions for boys, and soccer is the number one sport for girls. Dr. Todd Wirt said last year in OCS, lacrosse was the sport with the most concussions. He said OCS partnered with the UNC study over a year ago, and has helmets from them. He said some of the helmets have probes in them to track data. Commissioner Rich said this could be another follow up item. Commissioner Burroughs said there was an argument a while back that some kids attend school in order play football, and may stop attending if football is taken away. Dr. Todd Wirt said OCS has not had a discussion about dissolving football. He said there is much more training for high school football coaches now than years ago. Dr. Pamela Baldwin said CHCCS has not had in depth discussions, except to the extent of what is occurring naturally. She said she has spoken with coaches about the connection that sports can create with students who may not otherwise be excited about school. Commissioner McKee said there are a lot of kids for whom sports gives an extra push to do better in school. James Barrett recognized Commissioner Price and other school board members that attended the Pre-K conference. 8. Closed Session A motion was made by Commissioner Burroughs, seconded by Commissioner McKee seconded by to go into closed session at 8:51 p.m. for the purpose below: "Pursuant to G.S. § 143-318.11(a)(3) "to consult with an attorney retained by the Board in order to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the attorney and the Board."
