BOZEMAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS 5326 PERSONNEL Personal Leave The District will provide Personal Leave in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement for employees within a bargaining unit. The District will provide two (2) days of Personal Leave per year to each full time regular, non-temporary employee who is not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. If less than six months remain in the fiscal year when an employee is appointed, only one day shall be provided, and in the event that less than three months remain in the fiscal year, this provision shall not apply to a new employee for the balance of the fiscal year. In the event of part time employees, two pro-rated days shall be provided. One day shall be at regular salary, unless it extends a school vacation or holiday, and the additional day will result in a deduction in any event from the employee's salary at a rate equal to the current cost of a substitute subject to the following conditions: 1. Any extensions of vacations or holidays by use of contiguous workdays, shall result in a deduction from the employee's salary at a rate equal to the current cost of a substitute. Should more than one personal leave day be used to extend a vacation or holiday, whether on either end or by use of contiguous workdays, there shall be a deduction for both days. 1. Personal Leave may only be used during an employee’s scheduled workdays. 2. Personal Leave requests will be submitted to the employee’s supervisor for approval or disapproval in advance of the leave. 2. 3. In the case of emergencies generated in conjunction with a scheduled School District vacation or holiday precludes the return of a staff member, application for Personal Leave may be made on return. If granted, this day will result in a deduction from the employee's salary at a rate equal to the current cost of a substitute. 3. 4. Personal Leave days will not be used during the first two nor the last two days of any school semester unless approved by the Superintendent or designee for compelling reasons. 4. Unused Personal Leave will be credited as accumulated sick leave at the end of each fiscal year. 5. Personal leave may not be used within 10 working days prior to the effective date of an employee’s resignation, retirement or termination of employment with the District. 4. 6. Exceptions to this policy may be made during periods of emergency, such as when there is an inadequate supply of substitutes. The Superintendent reserves the right to grant Personal Leave days upon petition for extra-ordinary or emergency reasons; the granting of Personal Leave in such instances will not constitute a precedent binding upon the District in its administration of Personal Leave policies. 5. 7. Personal Leave is not cumulative. Adopted: 12/8/86 Rev. 1/25/93, 1/27/03, 8/9/2010

BOZEMAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2314 INSTRUCTION Learning Materials Review While the staff makes every effort to select high quality, appropriate learning materials that are satisfactory to the general public, objections occasionally may be raised. Learning materials, for the purposes of this policy, shall be considered to be any material used in classroom instruction, library materials, or any materials that a teacher might provide a student as part of the course of instruction. When an objection does occur complainants will discuss their concerns with the appropriate school staff and supervising administrator prior to pursuing a formal complaint. Should a citizen wish to make a formal protest regarding specific material used in a school within the district, the form for requesting reconsideration of instructional materials must be used (Appendix B). These forms are available in the principal’s office or the office of the Assistant Superintendent of Instruction. If a request to remove an item from the school or limit its accessibility is appealed beyond the building level, it will be acted upon by a Learning Materials Review Committee. The committee will be appointed by the Board of Trustees for a three year term to be confirmed by Board action each year. The Materials Review Committee will consist of one administrator who will chair the committee and who will be a voting member. It will also include one faculty member at large, four community members, and three librarians (or classroom teachers if the case involves classroom materials). One of the librarians or teachers will be from each level. The Superintendent will appoint staff members. Any trustee may recommend a community member. Those community members with the most trustee votes will become members of the committee. Prior to the names of the community member going to the trustees for a vote, each community member will complete an application form, which will provide the trustees with resume information about the applicant. Where relevant as determined by the Superintendent, the Curriculum Coordinator may be appointed as a voting member of the committee to replace the faculty member at large. No committee member may serve on a review originating from an elementary (K-8) school at which he/she is employed or has a child. Staff members may participate in a review originating from Bozeman High School or Bridger Alternative School, but the staff member must be from a department other than where the material is being used. When a committee member is a member of the staff or department where the complaint is filed by these terms, and if a committee member becomes ineligible, the superintendent may appoint a replacement. In the event that a community member drops out prior to any deliberation, the committee may ask the trustees to replace that member. In the event that the complainant fails to appear at a hearing in which they have previously committed to appear, the hearing will be adjourned and the complaint dismissed. At least one spokesperson representing each side of the issue will be heard. All meetings including committee deliberations will be open to the public. A written decision will be delivered to the complainant within 10 school days following the last committee meeting. That decision will apply to all other schools of similar grade levels.

Other Comments: The budget line item modifications made on the last report are still aligned with cost expectations.

• Change Order 27 was approved this month as described above with the following major items: o $192,757.34 – Roofing around south courtyard o $24,742.18 – Wood Shop Enhancements o $10,913.59 – Adjust Bleachers to facilitate new wood floor installation o $10,078.96 – Central Kitchen Painting

• BHS Roofing Work – The Board previously approved a roofing project change to Dick Anderson’s Contract

for a not to exceed amount of $225,000. The $192,757.34 amount above reflects this roofing work. The pictures show there is much work going on all over the campus. Most work is scheduled to be complete by August 20th, with interior work scheduled to be complete by August 13th. All parking lot paving should be complete as of the date of this report. As of July 30th teachers were notified they can start coming in to set up their rooms. Roofing work around the courtyard will continue into September. A future change order associated with the new kiln shelter/storage area will be brought to the Board for approval as it will exceed $50K and it will complete before curriculum needs in October. Any new work/modifications identified will be accomplished on a not to interfere basis with after staff/students are back at school. Various new furniture has been ordered for some instructional spaces and will be arriving the first part of the school year. Project information and updated progress photos for all Districts projects can be viewed at the District’s web site: http://www.bsd7.org/district/departments/facilities/construction_projects/.

CATEGORY: ACTION ITEM - SINGULAR ORIGINATED BY: Steve Johnson, Asst. Supt. of Business & Operations OTHERS Kirk Miller, Superintendent INVOLVED: District Administrators DATA EXPANSION: Preliminary Budget (Presented earlier -under Separate Cover) COST/FUND SOURCE: N/A

IMPLEMENTATION ACTION: High School District ACTION

Effective August 9, 2010

ISSUE: Adopt the 2010-11 Final Budgets. FACTS: 1. State law requires the board to meet on or before August 15 to adopt the final budget of the District. The meeting

can be continued from day to day but the budget must be adopted no later than the forth Monday in August 2. The Board previously reviewed the proposed 2010-11 budget at their March, May through July 2010 meetings. 3. The district received our taxable value information from the Department of Revenue on August 3, 2010.

According to the information received the taxable value for the High School district increased by 3.4% from $138,744,445 to $143,508,070. A substantial portion of the increase, $5,658,901, was from newly taxable property. We used an estimated 3% increase for our estimates prior to the May election.

4. Because school budgets are capped at a dollar amount rather than the number of mills levied, the increase in taxable value will result in a reduction of the number of mills levied.

5. The High School General Fund will be at 100% of the maximum budget level for 2010-11. SUPERINTENDENT’S RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the Board adopt the following budget amounts: General Fund $ 13,189,881 Transportation Fund 763,387 Bus Depreciation Fund 232.854 Tuition Fund 5,000 Adult Education Fund 241,100 Retirement Fund 2,000,000 Technology Fund 745,339 Flexibility Fund 0 Debt Service Fund 3,002,011 Building Reserve Fund 1,865,845 Total High School Budgeted Funds $ 22,045,417

OTHER ALTERNATIVES: Reduce any of the budget amounts. DISCUSSION: Following is an explanation of the differences between the preliminary and final budgets: General Fund – No change. Transportation Fund – No change. Bus Depreciation Reserve Fund - The final budget is $104 more than the preliminary because of a higher than estimated ending fund balance. The entire year-end fund balance is reappropriated to fund the following year’s budget. Tuition Fund – No change. Retirement Fund – No change. Adult Education Fund – No change. Technology Depreciation and Acquisition Fund – The final budget is $2,156 less than the preliminary because of a lower than estimated ending fund balance. The entire year-end fund balance is reappropriated to fund the following year’s budget. Flexibility Fund – No change. Debt Service Fund – No change Building Reserve Fund - The final budget is $34,155 less than the preliminary because of a lower than estimated ending fund balance. The entire year-end fund balance is reappropriated to fund the following year’s budget. The number of mills necessary to fund the recommended budget cannot be calculated until the district taxable value is received from the State Department of Revenue. Following are comparisons of last year and an earlier projection: 2008-09 Projection for 2009-10 made on: Actual Mills Fund MILLS 7/12/10 8/9/10 General 42.63 41.95 41.80 Transportation 3.14 3.29 2.30 Bus Depreciation .15 .15 .15 Tuition .07 .04 .04 Adult Education 1.30 1.54 1.25 Technology 1.44 1.40 1.40 Debt Service 19.02 18.11 18.00 Building Reserve 1.30 10.49 10.46 Total 69.05 76.97 75.40 The total estimated mill increase of 6.35 from 2009-10 amounts to $10.83 per year for each $100,000 of taxable market value.

Coupled with the 6.35 mill increase in the high school district the Bozeman Elementary taxpayers will realize a 2.49 net mill decrease, which amounts to $4.25 less per $100,000 of taxable market value. The voter information that was used for the May 2 Elementary District election indicated that if all issues were approved we estimated no change in the total mills levied. As explained above, there actually ended up being a slight reduction.
