Executive Session The governing board held an executive session for the annual performance review of Superintendent Mary Kamerzell. Consideration of Revisions to Human Growth and Development Curriculum (first reading) Associate Superintendent Mary Jo Conery presented changes for each grade level of the Human Growth and Development (HG&D) curriculum. A sub-group of the K-12 revision team for Comprehensive Health did a review of the HG&D curriculum for grades four through nine. The team reviewed the existing content instructional activities and related lesson materials. Older materials and media were replaced with similar more factually up-to-date materials. There are minor modifications being made to grades 4, 5, and 9, and new content is added to grades 6-8. HG&D is an optional curriculum, requiring parent permission for students to participate. The content and activities are tightly controlled through guidelines outlined in state statutes and the law. There are no changes proposed for the curriculum benchmarks except at the middle level. In compliance with Arizona statutes there is a requirement for two pubic hearings regarding the proposed revisions. The first public meeting was held on May 14, and the second public hearing was in conjunction with the governing boards regular meeting on May 26. Arizona statutes also require all new/revised materials associated with the Human Growth and Development curriculum will be posted and on display at the district office for sixty days in order to provide the public an opportunity to review the materials. The second reading with possible action on these changes is planned for the June 9, 2015, regular governing board meeting. Approval of Proposed Arizona School Boards Association (ASBA) Legislative Action Agenda Items for 2016 The governing board approved recommendations to the ASBAs Legislative Committee to include the revision of the school finance formula; the end of the use of public funds for private education; reinstatement of full-day kindergarten; fully funding for Joint Technical Education Districts; and not moving forward with current year funding.

Consideration of Revisions to the CFSD Performance Award Plan (first reading) Assistant Superintendent Denise Bartlett presented the first reading of the 2015-2016 performance award plan. Changes include alignment to Senate Bill 1289, which allows for a transition process to revise the school and district accountability system. SB1289 permits the districts governing board to adopt alternative policies regarding performance based funding pursuant to A.R.S. 15-977, (B). Due to the implementation of the AzMERIT state assessment this year, the district will have limited longitudinal school-wide data on which to base a performance award. Therefore, the administration recommends using AIMS science as the sole assessment upon which an award is determined. House Bill 2823, implemented In 2014 required a change to include at least 33% of the performance award to be distributed based on a teachers individual performance classification on the Teacher Assessment Program evaluation. District administration recommends continuing the distribution of 33% of the performance award toward performance classifications as follows:

Highly Effective 100% (of 33%) Effective 100% (of 33%) Developing 90% (of 33%) Ineffective 0%

This item will return for a second reading at the next regular governing meeting. First-Year Implementation of Physical Education and Health Standards Dr. Conery presented a first-year implementation report about the K-12 new comprehensive health and physical education curriculums. She reviewed the first-year successes, challenges, and the impact of the new program on student learning. Also discussed was the first-year use of new technological devices and software, and future needs in the area of assessment. Fiscal Year 2016 Maintenance & Operations Budget Dr. Kamerzell gave an update on the FY16 straw budget, incorporating changes to the revenue and expenditure documents that were discussed at the last board meeting.

Review of Capital Needs Dr. Kamerzell presented background information regarding the recommendation to the governing board to call for an election for November 3, 2015. The election ballot would contain two questions, one related to a District Additional Assistance (DAA) override for technology in the amount of $14,000,000 over seven years, fiscal years 2016 to 2023, and one for bonds in the amount of $22,000,000 for facility, grounds, and energy improvements. Dr. Kamerzell informed the board that there would not be a tax increase for either question.

District Additional Assistance (Capital) Override Technology Proposal Dr. Conery and Mr. Josh Shoffner, Director of Educational Technology, reviewed the district technology needs over the next seven years. The funds generated will continue the infusion of technology equipment, software, and tech-based curriculum materials/resources into classrooms for student and teacher use.

Bond Project Proposal Director of Facilities Doug Huie presented information on the proposed bond projects. The list reflected a comprehensive analysis of the districts capital needs in consultation with all school principals and district facilities staff.
