Agenda Item No. 14: Santaquin Lawns Migrant Program. Agenda Item No. 14A; Board member, Mr. Lynn Crook, presented to the Board a problem regarding the lawns and beautification project at the Santaquin School. This project was to be a cooperative effort between Santaquin City, Utah County, and the Nebo School District to place top soil on the area south of the Santaquin School, install a sprinkling system and plant this area into lawn. Utah County representatives have offered to participate with trucks and equipment to haul in the fill dirt from two sources in the Santaquin area, one at an excavation point of a service station on the east end of town and the silt from a canal approximately one mile away that has been dredged for highway construction purposes. Santaquin City was to furnish the drivers and the gasoline for the trucks for this hauling of soil to be reimbursed by the Nebo School District for this labor and gas. It was also agreed that Santaquin City would furnish the labor and the equipment to dig the trench for the piping for the sprinkling system. Nebo School District was to furnish the pipe and the necessary labor to install the sprinkling system, participate in the reimbursement of the cost to the City for the labor and gasoline for the County trucks and to furnish the lawn seed and plant the lawn area. Nebo School Districts cost for their portion of this project was estimated at approximately $4,200.00. Motion: Dr. William H. Sorensen Seconded Lynn Crook That the Nebo School personnel be authorized to proceed with their portion of this beautification project at the Santaquin School as outlined above. Voting unanimous. Agenda Item No. 14B: Mr. C. Garth Olson, Director of Federal Programs for Nebo School District, met with the Board to discuss the proposed change of location for the Migrant and Headstart programs to be moved to the Salem School in Salem from the Santaquin School. Mr. Olson outlined several reasons for this request. They were as follows: (1) The principal for this summer Migrant and Headstart program is located in the Salem School. This would give him a chance to function in his own building and be familiar with the equipment and supplies of that building. (2) the rooms are larger in this building and would meet their needs somewhat1 better than the other building. (3) As a result of a survey taken, it indicates that the populations of the Migrant program' and Headstart program has shifted some- -' what from the Santaquin area over to- -' wards the Salem area as a center point.! (4) The State has asked Nebo School Dis-- J trict to accept the Migrant students from' the Alpine School District located in the' Orem area, to be made part of their group, thus, the move to Salem would put this closer to this project. (5) A: new crop that has drawn some migrant', workers into our area has been due to ar beet production and this production! seems to be centered primarily in thei Salem area. It was pointed out that this; Migrant program is financed by the Title I.EJS.E.A. and this in no way would create any additional cost to Nebo School District to handle these two projects dur- -: ing the summer. Motion: Dr. William H. Sorensen Se- -' conded Dr. J. Robert Hogan That the request for the Migrant and Headstart programs be moved from the Santaquin School for the reasons recommended above. Voting unanimous. Agenda Item No. 15: Board member Dr. J. Robert Hogan reported to the Board that he and Mr. Albert Bowen had met with the Payson City Council with i regards to the electrical bill that Payson j had reimburCity Corporation requested sement for from the Nebo School District for The electrical energy furnished to the new Payson High School from the opening of the new school in August of 1967 until the December 18th billing in 1968. As was pointed out in the minutes of the March 10, 1969 meeting this reimburse- ment was brought about through an error on the part of Payson City. An incorrect billing resulted to a considerable loss in revenue to Payson City and at the March 10th meeting it was recommended that Dr. Hogan and Mr. Bowen negoti- ate this bill with the city council Motion: Mr. Lynn Crook Seconded Dr. William H. Sorensen That the Nebo School District accept Payson Citys offer to allow Nebo School District to pay $3,000 t on this electrical bill reimbursement, if Nebo School District would drop the $1000 due them from Payson City due to a change in the sewer line for the Payson High School. Voting unanimous. Agenda Item No. 16: Board member Dr. J. Robert Hogan brought to the attention of the Board some errors and unclear statements made in the specifications for the Mapleton Elementary School and pointed out some possible consequences of the wording of some of these statements.

They felt that they had a good working relationship with Mr. Staheli and appreciated his attitude towards the men and the work involved. President Whiting thanked the group for their presentation to the Board and complimented them on their efforts to keep the buildings and grounds of Nebo School District in good condition and assured them that consideration for their proposals and recommendations would be given and that they will attempt to meet their requests as far as the financial picture will allow them to do this. Agenda Item No. 7: The Nebo Association of Educational Secretaries, consisting of Mrs. Rea Bleggi, President, Mrs. and Mrs. Norma Ward, Geraldine Duncan, Secretary, met before the Board to present their salary program for the 1969-7- 0 school year for the school clerks and secretaries of Nebo School District. It was their recommendation that the Board recognize their new name, , Educational Secretaries, instead of school clerks. This was in keeping with suggestions from the State and National Organizations. In addition to this recommendation, it was also outlined for the Boards consideration the formulating of a basic slary schedule similar to the ones being set up in districts of comparable size and means throughout the State of Utah. This group has never had a definite salary schedule and they felt it to an advantage to establish a schedule from which they may develop salary programs for the future. The group presented to the Board for their consideration three salary proposals, all three based on the new salary schedule index that they had developed and each giving a different rate per hour as a basis for that particular schedule. These schedules give credit for years of experience. From these three proposed schedules, the clerks, or education secretaries, requested the Boards consideration in fitting one. of these into the financial picture as it was possible to do so. President Whiting thanked the group for their presence and for their presentation to the Board and again expressed his desire to do the best they could with the finances for the coming year in meeting these recommendations of the various groups. Agenda Item No. 8: LeRoy Whitehead, Jr., presented to the Board a recommendation by the Driver Education people of Nebo School District and Mr. Darold Josie of the State Office, requesting the Driver Education program be reviewed to bring the hourly rate instrucbeing paid the tors in Nebo School District in line with the amounts being paid in other districts in the State. A formula was presented outlining the expenditures of this program and the possible revenue which could be expected from the State Driver Training Program showing the feasiblity of allowing this increase to be made without exceed-- T ing the allowance given for this program. After much discussion by the Board members it was recommended that thisdeci-sio- n be held until the May 12, 1969, meeting and requested that representation of the drivers be present at that meeting to discuss this program with the Board. Agenda Item No. 9: A citizens committee met before the Board with Mr. LaVar Davies of SpringviUe as their spokesman. The majority of this group was from the Springville area. (A list of names is in the Board file). This group was in attendance protesting the action taken by the Board against Superintendent Russell N. Stansfield with regards to his release from the District. Agenda Item No. 10: Superintendent Stansfield presented to the Board a request from Joseph E. Thompson to for sabbatical leave from Nebo School District for the school year 1969-7- 0. On Monday, April 21, Mr. Thompson received notice of his appointment as a participant in an N.D.E.A. Institute in Reading at the State University of New York at Buffalo for this same academic year. Mr. Thompson is a teacher at the Spanish Fork Middle School and is eligible for this sabbatical program. Motion: Dr. William H. Sorensen Seconded Lynn Crook That Mr. Joseph E. Thompson be allowed the opportunity to take a sabbatical leave for the school for a one-yeyear 1969-7- 0 period of time as provided for in the Nebo School District Statment of Policies and Administrative Procedures, Section 4. Voting unanimous. Agenda Item No. 11: Board member, Mr. Lynn Crook, presented to the Board a student insurance program of Continental Casualty Company as an alternate plan to be compared with the Ideal National Insurance Company coverages which Nebo School District has been using for a number of years. After a period of discussion, it was the recommendation of the Board thatP.TA. organizations of the respective schools in Nebo School District review the coverage of the Continental Casualty Company and the Ideal National Insurance Company and make their recommendations to the Board by the June 9th Board meeting. Agenda Item No. 12: Superintendent Stansfield reported to the Board that Mr. C, Garth Olson, the Federal Programs Director of Nebo School District, had been asked to represent the State of Utah in a Migrant Program Convention to be held at Atlantic City during May 13 to the 16, 1969. The expenses of this convention would be provided by the Migrant program budget and would be at no expense to Nebo School District. It was Superintendent Stansfields request that the Board give Mr. Olson permission to attend this convention in Atlantic City. Motio: Glenn W. Coffman Seconded Dr. William H. Sorensen That Mr. C. Garth Olson, Director of Federal Programs for Nebo School District, be allowed to attend this Migrant Program Convention in Atlantic City from May 6. , representing Driver Education teachers o! Nebo School District, met before the Board. Mr. Thane Stone was the spokesman and discussed with the Board the recommendation that their hourly rate for the behind the wheel training be reviewed. Mr. Stone presented a summary of the amounts being paid by other districts within the State, pointing out that Nebo School District was somewhat lower than the others. He also reviewed with the Board the formula for the payment of funds to the school districts from the State and how this is divided equally at the rate of $30.00 per student. After a discussion of the Board it was recom- - V mended that the car costs for this program be reviewed periodically and that these costs be kept in balance in proportion to the wage costs to insure that the program would not exceed the $30.00 per student as allotted by the State Office. ' Motion: Glenn W. Coffman Seconded Lynn Crook That the recommendation of increasing the hourly rate from $3.00 to $4.00 per hour be accepted providing that the drivers hold the car cost to the amount allowed by the State. Voting unanimous. Agenda Item No. 5: The presidency of the Nebo Teachers Association, Mr. Jack Liefson, President, Mr. Harold Hawker and Mrs. Lucille Taylor, met before the Board to present for the Boards review and consideration, a proposed Master Contract. They recom mended it be reviewed for suggestions or corrections and at a later Board meeting be discussed and ratified for adoption binding both the Board and the teachers of Nebo School District for a period of one year. Mrs. Lucille Taylor presented to the Board a summary sheet reflecting the important points of this cpntract, discussing each one individually and explaining the individual items. She pointed out the goal of this Master Contract is to provide and maintain a good working relationship between the Board and the Teachers Association and that this type of contract would be binding for both the Board and for the teachers and would help maintain this working relationship. She pointed out to the Board that the main source of information for this Master Contract came from Nebo Districts present adopted Policies and Procedure Manual. Other contracts of districts throughout the country were also used to help give the proper wording and legal connotations of this document. Mrs. Taylor listed the advantages as the Nebo Teachers Association saw them of adopting a contract of this nature. (1) That negotiation procedures are included in this contract that would be helpful in event of an impasse. This type of provision is not in Nebos present Policy and Procedure Manual. (2) It is an agreement for one year binding both the Board and the teachers. (3) This contract binds the teachers to their own code of ethics. (4) It has an improved language over the Policies and Procedure Manual to make it more legally correct. It was the recommendation to the Board that after they reviewed this proposed contract it be given to their legal counsel to give his opinion that this type of contract would be legal ts, for them to enter into. President Whiting thanked the Teachers Association presidency for coming and presenting this proposed contract to the Board. He indicated that it would be reviewed and that a time would be set at a later date wherein they might discuss any possible suggestions or corrections to be placed in the contract. Agenda Item No. 6: Mr. Dell Ashworth, of Ashworth Architects, met before the Board at the Boards request, to discuss the inspection procedure s to be used during the construction of the Mapleton Elementary School. Mr. Ashworth explained in detail the inspection program and the part played by the architect to do this inspecting and his recommendations to the Board for precautions that they might take to protect the Boards interest. Mr. Ashworth pointed out that change orders, as they might be needed, should be presented to the Board for their approval These would be signed by the Clerk with the Boards approval, however, in the event of emergencies or to the expediency of the time factor, these may be approved by the architect and then later ratified by the Board. Mr. Ashworth pointed out that the contractor would be bonded and that the architect would be responsible to see that this bond be obtained by the contractor. This would again be beneficial and a protection to the Board in the construction of this building. Mr. Ashworth indicated there were several types of inspection to be conducted. Not only would the plans and specificatios be reviewed and inspected for possible errors as they progressed, but on the job inspection would also be made as the progress of the building proceeds. Mr. Ashworth recommended that the Board might consider the posinspector to sibility of hiring a full-tibe on the job at all times. This could be a retired contractor or builder who would be familiar with building procedures who would be there at all times to see that proper construction methods be used. He did point out, however, that it , was almost impossible to be at every particular spot at the right time in order to catch all possible errors, President Whiting thanked Mr. Ashworth for his time to , in explaining this inspection program them and felt they were better informed as to this phase of the construction program. r, Agenda Item No. 7; LeRoy Whitehead, Jr., presented to the Board several salary schedules that had been worked out on various levels to arrive at the approximate cost for the instructional salaries for the coming year. Each of these salary schedules were extended to reflect the percentage of the total M. & O. monies available for salaries that each schedule would involve. Mr. Whitehead pointed out that Nebo Districts present salary program for the current was using approximately year, 1968-680 of the total M. & O., monies for salaries and that this percent ratio in the past had been somewhere between 70 and 75 but had varied each year in that general area. After much discussion, it was the recommendation of the Board that the Clerk build a budget on a 77 amount ( this would be 77 of the M. & O. monies available for salaries) and that the Teachers Association develop a salary schedule that would work into this area. It was the recommendation of the Board that if a new salary schedule was developed they attempt to raise the beginning salary beyond its present level but to hold the top salary for a person with a B.S. degree, to approximately $8800 for step 12, lane I The Board also recommended that the proposal submitted by the principals of Nebo School District to go to an extended year program of eleven months be held until a future time when more funds were available. Mr. Whitehead also furnished the Board lists of proposed remodeling and repair work as submitted by the principals in their budgets. After considerable discussion of these various items, it was the Boards recommendation that the Clerk work closely with the principals and the supervisors in outling a priority for these items to reduce the amount to within the budget that was available for the coming year.

Agenda Item No. 9: LeRoy Whitehead, Jr presented to the Board a premium schedule from the Educators Mutual Insurance Company reflecting their rate increase for the coming year. These new premium rates reflected an increase of 20 for hospitalization benefits, 15 for medical and extended benefits and 10 for surgical benefits with an average increase of approximately 16 of the total contract. The new premium rates did reflect a broadening of coverage in several areas which gave the plan the ability to meet the needs brought about by the rising costs of medical service. The areas of coverage that were increased were: Hospitalization benefits were increased to $35.00 per day for board and room from the present $29.00 per day amount. Ambulance benefits were increased from $25.00 to $100.00. Surgical benefits were increased 10. Anesthesia benefits increased 10 and physician service on an out patient basis were improved from the present policy. Also the physician service while hospitalized in connection with hospital confinement was improved.

Voting unanimous. Agenda Item No. 10: Mr. G. Grant Gardner of the Nebeo District Office staff, presented to the Board a proposed building rental policy which had been reviewed and adjusted to meet the needs of Nebo School District brought about by the Federal wage hour law policy that the public schools must now function under. Mr. Gardner pointed out that a committee was formed with representatives from each type of. school within the District. A re- view of custodians salaries under the new wage hour law, reflected an increase of $2.50 to meet the overtime payment stipulation. The present rate was set at $2.00, so to increase this to accommodate the time and one-ha- lf provision that this night work entailed created a new rate of $4.50 per hour needed to pay the custodians for his services for the building rental program. After considerable discussion on this matter, the Board recommended that this policy be reviewed with all principals and that the Board again review this building rental policy in the July Board meeting for any possible recommendations that they may receive for changes or corrections. Agenda Item No. UA: Superintendent Stansfield reported to the Board he had received from the Industrial Commission a notice of a hearing to be held May 19, 1969 in connection with the death of Mrs. Laree Oakey, who had purportedly sustained an injury due to a fall while performing her duties as matron at the Springville High School. The family of Mrs. Oakey had filed claim with Nebo School Districts insurance carrier. The State Insurance Fund, for Workmens Compensation Insurance. The claim was based on the assumption that Mrs. Oakeys death was caused by the purported injury at the Springville High School. The State Insurance Fund had denied this claim and the hearing was being called by the Industrial Commission to review the circumstances of Mrs. Oakeys death and to also review the claim denial of the State Insurance Fund. Mr. Whiting indicated that he would investigate the possibility of Nebo School District needing representation for this hearing. Agenda Item No. 11B. Superintendent Stansfield presented to the Board a re- -' commendation that in the past the Board had entertained retiring personnel from the District at a noon luncheon and asked permission to provide this function in Nebo School District this year.
