he supplemental levy request from West Ada and the bond request from the Meridian Library District both got 59 percent of voter support. It was enough to pass the levy for the school district. It was not enough, however, to pass the bond for the library district. I’ll let you know what the library board decides to do next after its Nov. 18 meeting. The plan for the $12 million was to build two new branches, including one to service students and the public at the new Hillsdale Elementary/YMCA facility. Another branch would have been built in the Ten Mile/Chinden Boulevard area. Whether or not you want your tax dollars to go toward new libraries is completely up to you, but if you haven’t seen what the library is up to lately, you might not realize why the district is saying it needs more space. I’ve done a few stories about the library’s programs and new developments, and each time I walk away impressed. In December 2013, I visited the Cherry Lane branch during “Teen Make It Thursday,” a pilot project supported by the Idaho Commission for Libraries. A big group of teens showed up — attendance had doubled since the year prior — and together they explored devices such as a 3-D printer and a raspberry pi (apparently that’s a really cool tech device that I have no idea how to use). They laughed and collaborated as their team raced to be the first to build a successful bridge with plastic bricks and paper. It was a great place for teens to learn and connect after school.

Attendance at library programs grew from 53,463 in 2014 to an estimated 83,203 this year, according to library district director Gretchen Caserotti. As more people — from toddlers to by Holly Beech senior citizens — start participating in hbeech@mymeridianpress.com library programs, space can get crowded. © 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS Meridian has 0.4 square feet of library space per resident, compared with the industry standard of 1 square foot per resident, Caserotti said. At a recent presentation, Caserotti showed a picture of dozens of kids crammed into a computer lab at the Silverstone branch for story time. That’s great that the event drew in so many families, but the 4,500-square-foot branch didn’t have the capacity to have a story time while also leaving the computer lab open. One of the goals with the bond was to stop leasing the Silverstone branch and instead move those services to a new 20,000-square-foot branch at the Hillsdale facility. The bond would have cost taxpayers $12.48 per $100,000 of taxable property value each year. According to Tuesday’s results, voters aren’t ready to commit more tax dollars to new library branches. I just wanted to share what I have observed in the library district for anyone who might be feeling out of touch with the library or what it offers.

TRENDING 3 Meridian woman injured in house fire dies
A Meridian woman who was critically injured in a house fire Oct. 19 has died. A report from the Ada County Coroner’s Office Monday says that on Oct. 23, 56-year-old Debra Thacker of Meridian died of carbon monoxide poisoning due to the fire at her home. Meridian Fire crews respond to the house fire at 1825 NW 13th St. around 9:20 p.m. They found Thacker in the home about 10 minutes later and began to administer medical aid. She was then hospitalized in critical condition at St. Luke’s Meridian Medical Center, where she later died. Neighbor Erica Rosenkoetter told Meridian Press on Oct. 20 that Thacker was a “super sweet lady” who often had her young grandson over. Fire investigators from the Meridian and Boise fire departments were unable to identify the cause of the fire or determine if the home’s smoke detectors had been working. A total of five engines and a ladder truck responded to the fire.
Idaho’s new area code is revealed
Idaho’s second area code — 986 — was approved by state regulators Monday and will be implemented in late 2017. The original 208 area code issued in 1947 has been the state’s only area code since then. It was determined that the state would run out of new numbers with the 208 area code by 2018. Beginning in late 2017, new telephone numbers will be issued the 986 area code, officials with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission announced Monday. Existing customers will get to keep their 208 area codes. All phone customers in Idaho will have to dial a 10-digit phone number when the new area code goes into effect. The public utilities commission adopted a plan Monday that initiates a 16-month transition and customer education process.

West Ada trustee faces new challenger in race for ISBA president
The turmoil in the West Ada School District has rippled into the race for president of the Idaho School Boards Association, Idaho Education News reports. Former governor candidate and Boise School District trustee A.J. Balukoff has entered the presidential race Mike Vuittonet to challenge two other candidates — West Ada’s Mike Vuittonet and Moscow Charter’s John Menter. “With all the turmoil and controversy in the West Ada District, I think it will be difficult for the West Ada trustee to win the election, and even if he does, it will be very difficult for him to be an effective president,” Balukoff told Idaho Education News. “As we witnessed the West Ada controversy develop, people asked me to consider running for president.” West Ada board members have been embroiled in controversy, which drove Superintendent Linda Clark to resign abruptly Oct. 23. Vuittonet has been a vocal supporter of Clark and was the lone trustee to vote in favor of keeping Clark’s 2017-18 contract extension intact. Multiple recall drives have begun in West Ada. But Vuittonet said he’s prepared to lead the ISBA because he’s been an active and supportive member of the organization for 15 years, and he has served seven years on the governmental affairs committee. Balukoff is entering the race late so his name will not be on the ballot, but voters could write in his name or anyone else who wants to declare candidacy on election day. The election will take place during the ISBA’s annual convention in Coeur d’Alene. The election is Nov. 13.

Voters approved this same levy request with 60 percent approval in 2012 and with 54 percent approval in 2014. Voter turnout this year was 27 percent — almost three times what it was in 2014. Since the fall of 2012, the levy, which costs taxpayers $91.57 per $100,000 of taxable property value, has funded 35 teaching positions, nine instructional school days and other operational expenses. “(The levy) means a great deal for the district,” West Ada interim Superintendent Joe Yochum said. “It maintains our current level of operations for the next two years. ... It means we won’t have to reduce days of instruction or eliminate teaching positions moving forward.” Meanwhile, the Meridian Library District’s $12 million bond — which would have funded the construction of a library branch in the Hillsdale Elementary/ YMCA facility — fell 7 percent short of the two-thirds majority vote needed to pass. Yochum said a temporary school library will be set up at Hillsdale in time for the August opening, and the district’s next step will depend on whether the library district runs another bond election. The library board will discuss its next step at a Nov. 18 meeting, library district Director Gretchen Caserotti said. Supporters of the supplemental levy had been concerned that dissension among district leaders would hinder it from passing. Former superintendent Linda Clark

abruptly ended her 37-year career with the district Oct. 23, saying the current school board had taken a “barrage of adverse actions” against her, including revoking the third year of her contract. Joki and Trustee Julie Madsen, both elected in May, have been critical of Clark’s contract. The current board also deterred Clark from attending executive meetings, Clark said. Joki, Madsen and board Chairwoman Tina Dean have refuted Clark’s claims that she was treated poorly and forced out of the district.

West Ada COO Joe Yochum named as interim superintendent
W
est Ada School District Chief Operations Officer Joe Yochum, who has been with the district for 24 years, has been selected to serve as interim superintendent. Former superintendent Linda Clark resigned on short notice Oct. 23 after serving as superintendent for almost 12 years. She said the school board had created a hostile environment toward her that impeded her ability to do her job. by Holly Beech Yochum said he is not hbeech@mymeridianpress.com looking to make any big © 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS changes during his time as interim superintendent, but rather he wants to continue what Clark started. “Dr. Clark created many good programs, excellent programs for this district, and it will be my job to continue what she has started, to fulfill those visions that she set in place,” Yochum said. “My goal with the current school board is the same it’s always been with every school board, and that is to work to educate our children.” The board met in executive session for 90 minutes Oct. 29, which included a discussion with Yochum, and then voted unanimously to appoint him as interim superintendent in an open session afterward. Yochum had also met with Board Chairwoman Tina Dean and other administrators Oct. 26. The board looked to top-level management in the district to see who was willing to step into the role temporarily or permanently, Dean said. She declined to name how many administrators had been considered for the role, saying only that she appreciated Yochum’s willingness to step up and the board valued his skills and leadership. Yochum is wellknown by staff, pays JOE YOCHUM close attention to detail Interim West Ada School District superintendent and is quick to help, Dean said. Yochum intends to return to his role of COO after the board finds a permanent replacement. Until then, he said he’ll work with staff to reassure West Ada parents and patrons that the district “will continue to work hard to educate our children with lots of opportunities and continue to get technology in the classroom.” Main areas of focus for Yochum in his new role are the supplemental levy — which voters approved Tuesday — the construction of two new schools by fall of 2016, the budget process for next school year and the upcoming legislative session, he said. “It’s a big job, we’re the largest school district in the state, and I will do everything I can to provide an ex-

Yochum has been with the district for 24 years and is currently the chief operations officer. cellent education to our students and to fulfill the mission of the West Ada School District,” he said. The transition happened quickly, and Yochum had less than a week to prepare for it. “My mind is going in about 100 different directions right now,” he said shortly after being selected. “I’m just very fortunate to work in a district with great people who I know I can count on a day at a time to be there for support and answers to questions. I am one person and I do not know everything, I know very little, so I have no problem calling upon those who do know for the answer to make the best decisions possible.” At the start of the Oct. 29 regular session, Dean said she appreciated how quickly district staff was willing to work toward finding an interim superintendent. “The superintendent has left her post,” she said. “We are not dealing with that specific issue
tonight — we will address that at a future meeting. However, we had no prior notification, so that has required that we search for an interim superintendent very quickly.” Dean said the district’s first step in finding a superintendent is listening to what criteria and qualifications the public wants in a district leader. She said the board will set up a structured system of hearing feedback from the community. A good form of communication between patrons and district leadership, Dean said, is the “Let’s Talk” tool on the district website at westada.org/lt.

Circulation
The more research is done, the clearer the picture gets: Hearing health is related to your overall health and vice versa. Today we explore the connection between your circulation and your hearing health. Studies show that a healthy cardiovascular system can have a positive effect on your hearing. The inner ear houses different parts that help you hear and that are very sensitive to blood flow. Inadequate blood flow or trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear caused by hypertension can contribute to hearing loss.

West Ada follow-up: Attorneys disagree over former superintendent’s contract T
hough former West Ada School District Superintendent Linda Clark resigned without a severance package, her attorney said she is still entitled to the agreements in her contract, such as a retirement bonus. “(Trustees) effectively fired her be- Linda Clark cause they forced her into a position that Former West Ada was so undesirable that she couldn’t con- superintendent tinue,” said Clark’s attorney, Erika Birch with Strindberg & Scholnick, Oct. 29. In legal terms, she by Holly Beech hbeech@mymeridianpress.com said, this is called a “constructive discharge.” © 2015 MERIDIAN PRESS Calling Clark’s situation a constructive discharge is “nonsense,” said the school board’s attorney, William “Breck” Seiniger. “(Clark) walked off the job,” he said. “It’s my belief that it’s a breach of contract. … A contract is of no use if anybody can just walk away from it.” The attorneys haven’t negotiated since Clark resigned on short notice Oct. 23, Birch said. If both sides can’t reach an eventual agreement, she said, a lawsuit could be the next step. Clark said she hasn’t considered a lawsuit yet. “It’s certainly not Dr. Clark’s preference to have to bring litigation against the district,” Birch said. “All of this is transpiring quickly. If we get to that point, we’ll file a lawsuit that sets forth all of the claims she has.” Issues that could lead to litigation, Birch said, are: n Payment of Clark’s retirement bonus. At 20 percent of her $143,475 salary, the bonus would equal $28,695. n The validity of Clark’s contract. The board voided the third year of her contract last month, saying previous board members violated the open meeting law June 23 by voting on Clark’s contract without it being on the agenda. n The constructive discharge, which could mean Clark is entitled to damages because of the lost ability
to earn her salary. Clark resigned without severance package, saying she was sickened by the board’s latest offer of $56,000 in exchange for Clark to “play nice” for two weeks and then retire the day after the levy election. The offer also required Clark give up her rights to any kind of legal action, she said. Birch confirmed that the offer required Clark to retire Nov. 4 and to make no mention of her retirement until that date. Board Chairwoman Tina Dean said in a statement Oct. 28 that the board asked Clark to retire after the election so the vote could take place in an “atmosphere uncharged by controversy.” Dean also criticized Clark for calling $56,000 a “pittance.” Clark’s response was that she had a valid threeyear contract, and the $56,000 only represented the retirement bonus and salary for November and December. “I worked for a board of trustees, they determined my contract,” Clark said. “When they added the third year, I agreed to work for three years.” The board also turned down an offer from Clark’s attorney that would have harmed the district financially, Dean said. According to Dean and Seiniger, Birch sent an offer on Sept. 23 saying Clark would leave her position and any potential claims would be resolved if the board would pay her contract and benefits through June 30, 2018 — an amount that comes to roughly $400,000, Seiniger said. He said he sent Birch a letter asking what the “potential claims” were but received no response. “The Board continued to negotiate with Dr. Clark, but when its final offer was not acceptable to Dr. Clark, she left her post, calling it a resignation,” he said. “She has never been terminated, constructively or otherwise.” Clark had worked with several board members over her 11 years as superintendent. But the current board, which gained two new members in July, was a “new regime … that has been militating my remov-

Trustees named West Ada Chief Operations Officer Joe Yochum as interim superintendent Oct. 29. He will return to his role of COO after the board hires a superintendent. The typical start date for administrators is July 1, Yochum said.

al,” Clark said in her resignation announcement. Two unnamed trustees told her in a Sept. 1 executive session they wanted her gone, Clark said, noting that she has no idea what caused the animosity. Dean and the new trustees, Russell Joki and Julie Madsen, all say the board treated Clark fairly and sought to work with her, and that it was Clark’s initiative to retire.

This year’s levy passed with 59 percent of the vote, which is on par with the support it gained in 2012 and 2014. In the past 10 years, only one of the district’s seven supplemental levies has failed. Meridian city election turnout was also up this year despite low competition in the races.
