Warren H. Edwards, President J. .Wiley Richardson

The minutes of the meetings .of June 13, 23 and 27, were-read and upon motion of Mr. Hisel, seconded by Mr. Turner, were approved as read.

Minutes Approved

A report was submitted by Mr. Prigmore accompanied by a statement of appropriated revenues for 1940-41 in the amount of $2,500,624.95, and maxinfum revenue estimates for financing 1941-42 Budget requirements which, together with a surplus of $220,126.01, would permit the Board to finance the 1941-42 Budget in full for the entire year in the amount of $2,442,174.49.

Report of Auditor

1941-42 Budget

The report contained the following comments: "The Board of Education by their conservative financial policies have brought to an end the uncertainties of prior years with, respect to their ability to meet the educational program outlined for the year, and. for the first time in many years may look forward with the assurance that their Budget will be financed in full prior to the beginning of the school year.

11 This policy in the administration of school finance should not lessen in any way the amount of the total .revenues available for expenditure over any period of years. It simply ends the practice of supplementing the appropriations the appropriations with current .year's surplus collections as received, which previously left no surplus accruals to forward to the next year to meet budget requirements.

"A particular advantage secured by the Board of Education this fiscal year has been the reduction of Interest Paid to holders of school district warrants from the total of $27,777.72 in 1939-40 to a total of only $2,121.63 for the year 1940-41. "This saving has been effected through the Investment Registration Plan for Non-payable warrants at time of registration, and the use of Sinking Fund Cash of the School District for temporary investment purposes.

"The application of the provisions of Senate Bill #37 of the 1941 Legislature should serve to eliminate entirely the necessity for any interest payment • whatever on warrants of the school district for the year 1941-42. "Sinking Fund Tax Levy Requirments for 1941-42 will be reduced by approximately one-half mill on the assessed valuation, by reason of the larger Cash surplus available for levy reduction.

"The financial Statement and Report prepared as of June .30, 1941, is now in the process of being typed and bound and will be ready for filing within a few days.", After further consideration of the General Fund Budget for 1941-42, .in .the total amount of $2,442,174.49, Mr. Hisel moved that the Budget be approved and ordered filed with the County Excise Board with the Financial Statement of June 3®, 1941. Mr. Turner seconded the motion which was declared to have carried.

Upon roll call, the motion carried, all members present voting •'Aye." The following report was made by-the Director of Business:

To the-members of the Board of Education of the-City of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma:

- October 6, 1941

•

This year the insurance committee, Mr. Jack Adams, Mr. Buford Breeding, Mr. Wiley Ball, Mr. Wallace McCowen, appointed Mr. Ralph Neely as the contact man. He and I took the book values of the school property ahd figured them on a 2fo depreciation per year.

According to the committee report of last year, the amount of Insurance due this year was $1,330,000.00, which would take a premium of $11,204.30. $756.55 this amount would be paid by the Separate Schools.

Mr. Neely and I figured the buildings and contents, and we figure that accorcU; ing to-the 2% depreciation rule the amount-would be $1,460,550.00, which would call for a premium of $3,704.33,-of which $5^7*75 would be paid by the Negro Schools. There is some question in the minds of the insurance committee about the reduction of $419,495.00 at the present time due to increase -in building costs. I recommend that the Board decide whether $419,^95 reduction is justified at the present time in light of building costs.

Respectfully submitted,

N. L. George Director of Business

Report of Director of Business on Insurance

_____ .....MEETING OF OCTOBER 6, 1941 (Continued)

WHEREAS, the Impression has been created in the National Office of Education in Washington, D. C., and in State educational circles that Oklahoma City has in the past not been deeply interested In vocational education; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the present Board of Education of the City of Oklahoma City expresses itself as being deeply interested in vocational education and highly in favor of developing a strong program of vocational education in Oklahoma City and. urgently requests that the school officials proceed immediately to strengthen the program of trades and industrial education for both high school students and adults; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Education go on record as being in favor of an "all-out" program of training for National Defense, and hereby authorize the school officials to work in close cooperation with the State and National Offices of Vocational Education in the immediate development of the necessary National Defense classes for the training of skilled workmen to meet the needs of the National Defense activities in this area.

The following report was submitted by Mr. Prigmore; and referred to the Board's Attorney: H. E. Wrinkle, Superintendent N. L. George, Clerk-Business Manager

February 17, 1952

We wish to make the following report in regard to delinquent Paving Taxes for the School District:

Franklin School - 1937 Tax Lots 5 to Block 16, Main Street Addition Lots 25 to 30, Block 16, Main Street Addition

Tax $151'. 59 172.45

Penalty $ 7? .17 . 3b.57

The above lots were acquired early in 1937 and were included in the list of school property on which 1937 Paving Taxes were paid, and the City Clerk issued Receipt No. 1267 thereon.

The City Clerk, through error, omitted the above amounts of tax from his receipt, and the District was not charged with the proper amount of taxes on these lots. On account of the accrued penalty on this tax, we requested that the City effect a compromise on the amount, and the following action was taken.

The City Council, on February 10, 1952, authorized cancellation of all Taxes and Penalties on Lots 25 to 30, Block 16, in the amount of $259*02. (No outstanding Paving Bonds against this district). The Board of Education is to pay the amount of taxes and penalties against Lots 5 to 3, Block 16, in the amount of $213.76. (Paving Bonds outstanding on this district.)

You will note that the $213.76 is considerably less than the original amount of taxes that were omitted from payment. This saving is made possible by the fact that all outstanding Paving Bonds in one of the districts have now been retired.

Westwood School - 1915 to 1920 Paving Tax Lot 12, Block' 51, Stockyards 3rd Addition

Report of Auditor on Delinquent Taxes Referred to Attorne;

Report of Auditor Continued

Ad Valorem Tax In addition to the paving taxes above reported, there are many items of Ad Valorem Taxes on property acquired by the School District over a long period of years.

We prepared a special report on these taxes in-March, 1939, and on December 9, 1939, filed an application with the County Commissioners for cancellation of all such items of taxes and penalties under the provisions of House Bill 220, S. L. 1939. No action was taken by the County Commissioners, but they now have pending before them a like petition from the City of Oklahoma City regarding taxes on property that the City has recently acquired. We could recommend that the School District join with the City in this petition, for if favorable action can be secured it will bring about an immediate liquidation of our back tax obligations for both paving and ad valorem, except for the three paving tax items above mentioned.

Respectfully submitted,

JNO. W. PRIG-MORE, Auditor Board of Education

Report of Printing Committee

The following report was presented: Mr. N. L. George, Clerk-Business Manager Board of Education Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Dear Mr. George:

The Printing Committee selected by the Board of Education respectfully submits the following report. The Committee met on April 14, 15 and 16 and under the direction of Mr. Powers carefully analyzed the printing needs for the Board of Education

? r*

MEETING OF APRIL 23, 19^-2 Continued)

for the year 19^2-43. Each printing order was carefully analyzed and estimated using the Franklin Printing Schedule as a guide and double-checking each individual item on a cost basis.

Report of Printing Committee

We also considered in arriving at the various prices who had produced the order last year and whether or not a saving could be made because of standing form in placing this business with the same firm this year. We also took into consideration the equipment best suited for each individual order before making an allocation. Advice of leading paper firms in Oklahoma City helped us in the classification of various shops" as to their production of commercial printing in Oklahoma City. Allocations were made as nearly as practical by comparing the production facilities of the various plants. You will notice that there has been a general increase in price of approximately five per-cent which barely covers the actual increase in paper cost. There is an approximate increase in total purchases of $1+00.00, most of it being due to increase in quantities and in the addition of fourteen items that were not purchased last year. We have attached a list of the printing firms in the order of volumn recommended for them this year. We believe that allocations made will ba satisfactory to all shops with the possible exception of those few firms whose previous allocations were out of proportion to their sizes. In the interest of economy the Committee has recommended change’s as to weights and grades of some papers. The Committee recommends that this business be placed at the earliest possible time because of the very unsettled condition of the paper market and the possible increase in other production costs.

Respectfully,

In the matter of damage caused by fire at Heronville School in September, 19^2, Mr. George reported that Mr. Geo. W. Kline, Manager of the Fire Companies Adjustment Bureau, had orally agreed on the sum of $2,26^.32, which could be reasonably estblished for the loss, exclusive of reconditioning the electric and water linesboilers, valves and controls. Since the cost of reconditioning this equipment could not be determined with reasonable certainty, Mr. Kline had stated that the Insurance Companies would settle this part of the loss based on the actual cost of material and labor, bills to be*submitted when the work is completed. After discussion Mr. Richardson moved that Mr. George be authorized to proceed with the repair work at Heronville School on the basis of Mr. Kline's statement, provided it be substantiated in writing, and with the understanding that the cost of the repair work be paid out of the General Fund Appropriation and refunded by Supplemental Appropriation of the money collected from the Insurance Companies.

That the Oklahoma City High Schools follow the State regulation in regard to giving credit to boys who enter the military service before the end of the semester.

A committee for the co-ordination of a recreational program contemplating the use of some of the schools as neighborhood centers, came before the Board explaining the nature and scope of the program which would require eight centers, six days a week from to 10:30 P. M., and could be financed by making application for a federal grant under the Lanham Act which had appropriated $3,000,000.00 for the operation and maintenance of such programs. The committee was advised that the Board would consider this matter and give them an answer the first of the year.

Action Deferred Report of Auditor on Activity and Cafeteria Accounts

The Board then took up for consideration the following report and recommendations of Mr. Prigmore concerning the accounting and auditing of school activity and cafeteria funds:

BOARD OF EDUCATION OF OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA:

I feel that it is important to emphasise at thie time that athletic, school sctivity, and cafeteria funds do not come under the direct control of the Board of Education, that the Board of Education exercises no authority in the receipt and expenditure of such funds and carries no direct responsibility relating to proper receipt and disbursement, for the reason that the above, funds belong to local groups of pupils and various associations within the several school units of the Oklahoma City School System. The legal position of the Board of Education relating to such funds, as above outlined, is clearly stated in an opinion of the Attorney General's Office of the State of Oklahoma under date of March 7> 1939â€˘

We know, however, that the Board of Education is vitally Interested in knowing that the regular employees of such Board who may be acting in individual

OQK

capacities as custodians of funds belonging to school associations, shall make Report of proper accounting, and shall at all times faithfully perform the trust impos- Auditor on ed in them by.the various local school authorities. Activity and With this in mind we have prepared the following recommendations for procedure Cafeteria based almost wholly upon previous recommendations of the Board of Education, Accounts regarding the general plan to be followed by school employees who accept individual responsibility in the handling of local school funds. These recommendations closely conform to the general plan now in operation in all cafeteria and school activity accounts throughout the system, but they are here restated and in some cases revised and again submitted in order to secure from the Board of Education a definite interpretation in matters of policy relating to the position of the Board toward school employees who may be acting in the capacity as custodian for such activity accounts. SCHOOL ACTIVITY ACCOUNTS

1 - FINANCIAL SECRETARIES The sponsors of the various activities of each school shall designate one person, satisfactory to the principal of such school and the Board of Education, to act as Financial Secretary, and this person shall have full charge of the receipt, disbursement, and custody of all cafeteria and activity funds of the school.

2 - The Financial Secretary shall furnish statutory bond in an amount not less than Two Thousand Dollars, such bond premium to be paid far .from the activity accounts of the school. â€™â€˘*

- RECEIPTS The Financial Secretary shall issue a machine numbered receipt (in duplicate) to each fund or activity sponsor for all money deposited' by such person. These receipt books shall be purchased through a central agency for all schools, beginning with the second semester of this school year and these books shall be placed in charge of the School Activities Auditor and issued by him to the various schools as needed and all void or cancelled original receipts shall remain in book to be inspected by the Activities Auditor. The Activities Auditor shall maintain a record of the numbers of all receipt books Issued to the various school accounts. The Financial Secretaries of each school shall be required to use these receipts in receipting for all monies coming into their possession.

U - All collections shall be entered on the approved form of Cash Book and must be deposited in full not less than twice weekly, except for a fixed and stipulated amount reserved for making change. Any deviation from this policy on account of lack of transportation facilities, small collections, or other causes, must first be approved by the School Activities Auditor and ClerkBusiness Manager.

5 - The accounting records shall be the Cash Journal System now in operation. These records consist of a columnar cash book showing cash receipts, checks, and deposits in bank, together with the posting of such receipts and disbursements under the fund heading of each activity account. The totals of such columns are then posted monthly to the ledger accounts of the various activities.

These records are well standardized, simple in design and have been found, through experience, to be entirely adequate for this type of fund accounting. 6 - FUNDS All accounts with Activity Funds must come under these rules controlling receipts and expenditures, and no account shall be opened with any fund, unless the purpose of the fund, the membership of the organization and the sponsors thereof are identified with the school for which such account is carried. 7 - PURCHASES Purchases from Activity* Funds shall be made by the sponsor of each fund acting in their individual capacity, or the Principal may require written requisitions from the sponsor of each fund to be filed for his approval prior to the placing of the order.

All new or replaced equipment, all text books and instructional supplies require the approval of the Board of Education prior to acceptance for use in or on school property. Requisitions for these purposes shall be filed with the Office of Clerk-Business Manager and Superintendent of Schools for their approval prior to purchase.

Jno. W. Prigmore

AUDITOR, OKLAHOMA CITY BOARD OF EDUCATION Motion was made by Mr. Richardson and seconded by Mr. Edwards that the report of Mr. Prigmore, concurred in by Mr. Lybrand, be approved by the Board, effective January 1, 19^3. Motion carried unanimously.

Report Adopted

Mr. Richardson then moved that no school activity accounts be carried in any school after January 1, 19^3, unless they comply with present regulations of the Board of Education, as modified by the regulations submitted b^’the auditor and adopted by the Board. The motion was seconded by Mr. Turner and carried unanimously.

No Accounts Permitted Which Do No1 Comply with Regulations

The report of Mr. Ivan E. Rowe, special activities auditor, presented in executive session on December 9, 19^2, was discussed at this time. The report showed a shortage in the accounts of Mrs. Ruth Boswell, financial secretary of the Roosevelt Junior High School, in the amount of $2,079-60. Mr. Hisel inquired of Mr. Prigmore whether or not there was any basis for statements made by some school officials that there were shortages in the accounts of at least four schools other than Roosevelt Junior High Schools. Mr. Prigmore stated that as far as he was able to determine there were no other shortages at this time and those mentioned were, in his opinion, shortages that had accurred over a ten year period and had been previously reported to the Board.

Report of Shortage in Accounts Roosevelt Junior Higt School

Mr. Prigmore then read from a prepared statement regarding the Roosevelt cafeteria and activity account shortage and the steps which had been taken in bringing it before the Board. The statement was concluded with the following:

No Other Shortages Reported Statement By Audit 01

"I have no personsl criticism to make of the officials who withheld this information from the Board of Education. Their acts were motivated, I am sure, only by their sympathies and their belief that they were acting in the best Interest of the schools at large; there has not been and should not be any question raised as to their good faith, their ability or their Integrity and at the time they assumed the responsibility for not making known the facts in their possession, I am sure that they were not aware of the extent and scope of the shortage and the many factors that were to be Involved. "I must state, however, that I disagree with them wholly in the matter of it ever being good policy to withhold from the governing board, even for one day, any information of this nature relative to misuse of public funds."

The report of the cafeteria survey presented by the Superintendent in the meeting of November JO, was discussed, particularly with reference to the employment of a dietitian err cafeteria supervisor, and a special activities and cafeteria auditor to be employed by the Board. After discussion, motion was made by Mr. Richardson and seconded by Mr. McKown that superintendent Wrinkle and Mr. Prigmore take under consideration and make a recommendation concerning the employment of an auditor and the salary to be paid, and subsequently submit a method of financing the salary. Motion carried unanimously. The following reports were submitted by the Superintendent:

VICTORY TAX. ’’Beginning with the January payroll, all employees of the schools, including cafeteria workers, will be subject to a five per cent deduction in their warrants for the victory tax. An excellent statement has

Lunch Project Closed

LUNCH PROJECT CLOSED. "The following letter has been received from Ruth J. McVoy, Unit Supervisor, Feeding Program:

N. E. A. Tenure Committee

N, E, A. COMMITTEE. "I should like to report that neither Miss Ruth Green, State President of the Classroom Teachers Association, nor Miss Inez Ellis, president of the Oklahoma City Classroom Teachers Association, had anything to do with the visit to Oklahoma City of the National Tenure Committee. They had no notification of their coming and were not given the courtesy of a call upon their arrival. Both Miss Green and Miss Ellis have been deeply concerned for fear someone might think that they had something to do with the recent visit of the National Tenure Committee resulting in unfair criticism of the local Superintendent and the Board of Education. Several people have expressed resentment at the attitude of the N. E. A. Committee and thB publicity resulting from their appearance."

â€™We have had official notice that the School Lunch Project will close December 2J, 19^2.

Roosevelt Case in Hands of CountyAttorney

Statement of Supt. Wrinkle

Reference was made to the Roosevelt Junior High School shortage and Mr. Hisel stated that the case was now in the hands of the County Attorney. The following statement was presented to the Board by Superintendent Wrinkle:

The Roosevelt-Boswell Case

Board of Education Oklahoma City, Oklahoma »» Gentlemen: The fact that the first serious criticism of my quarter-of-a-century of school administration in Oklahoma should have1 occurred in connection with the embezzlement of funds by a financial secretary in one of the sixty-seven schools of Oklahoma City has caused me considerable embarrassment, worry , sleepless nights, and deep concern. I have always believed ardently that the most important objectives in the administration of any school system should be honesty, fairness, the observance of high professional ethics, and carefulness in the supervision and expenditure of public funds. It has also been my earnest desire and ambition that these qualities should characterize the administration of the Oklahoma City Schools, in order that the school system of our Capitol City might regain the confidence of the public and again assume a place of educational leadership in the state. In the opinion of many thinking people, much progress has been made in this direction. Therefore, it will be most unfortunate for public education in general ,'»4f the Roosevelt Incident is used to cloud the good record of the rest of the school system.

Since I have been made to suffer the brunt of the critical publicity in this case, I should like to express my point of view in the following statements: 1. The school principals in Oklahoma City are responsible for the collection, accounting, and supervision of all activity and cafeteria funds. According to the State Attorney G-eneral, the Board of‘Education has no legal jurisdiction over activity funds and the Board has not assumed any resnonsiblllty for the operation of school cafeterias. The Members of the Board of Education, therefore, have not been careless in this case or in any other practice of handling public school funds.

2. The system of accounting for funds used in the Roosevelt School is similar in form and is as effective in operation as the system followed in ninety-five per cent of the public schools. Any system is vulnerable in the hands of a crook. 3. The system of, auditing activity and cafeteria accounts has not been entirely satisfactory, and I have been trying to secure improvement in the plan for over a year. The “activities auditor" was responsible to the principal of the school and was paid by the principal from the funds of that school". The regular school auditor was not held responsible for supervising the work of the “activities auditor". Obviously, under this system, the activities auditor would be inclined to cooperate fully with the source of his income in the case of any Irregularities. This system permitted the flimsy excuses of the financial secretary at Roosevelt, with the approval of the principal, to prevail in postponing the usual audits of last April, May, and June.

4. The regular school auditor is not under the supervision of the Superintendent of Schools, but is responsible directly to the Board of Education. The relationship of the "activities auditor" to the superintendent has never been clearly defined. Consequently, I did not give the auditing difficulties at Roosevelt much thought and consideration. ( I have wished a thousand times recently that I had not exercised any jurisdiction in the case.)

5. The financial secretary at Roosevelt worked on a ten-month basis, and was, therefore, off duty from June 15 to August 15. Upon her return to duty August 17, the principal reported by phone that she had admitted a shortage and confessed full responsibility for it. The principal prepared a letter to this effect, dated August 1S>, and directed to me, which was signed by Mrs. Ruth Boswell. Conferences were held jointly and Individually with Mr. Evans, principal; Mrs. Boswell, financial secretary; and Mr. Gayle, activity auditor. Both the principal and the activity auditor requested, and Mrs. Boswell tearfully pleaded, that no report be made of the matter until the audit could be completed. The activity auditor and principal also suggested that Mrs. Boswell be relieved of her duties as financial secretary, but be permitted for a while to work in the principal's office as a general clerk because of

Statement her apparent sincerity and willingness to help find the missing records so essential in completing the audit. The representations made to me In the case of Supt. at that time appeared so'logical and forceful that I approved the plan with Wrinkle the further thought that a thorough audit might reveal that others were implicated in the shortage. Accordingly, the activity auditor was urged to complete the audit as quickly as possible, watching carefully for any evidence that others might have been involved, in order that a complete and accurate report could be made to the Board of Education. 6. I did not recommend Mrs. Boswell for employment after she admitted the embezzlement of funds. She was elected along with some 1,500 other employees April 23, 19^2, and confirmed by the Board with the other employees July 6, 19^2. ..

7. Why the audit dragged along and was not completed more quickly can best be explained by the principal and activity auditor. S. I became so deeply engrossed in the numerous problems and duties incident to the opening of schools in September, and in the mad scramble for satisfactory teachers to fill the vacancies created by daily resignations, and with the feeling that the Roosevelt audit would be completed as soon as possible. I did not make frequently, aggressive attempts to follow up in this matter. 9. If an error has been made in not reporting the shortage to you promptly; if a mistake has been made in approving the plan to postpone the publicity and in permitting a self-confessed, repentant, pregnant mother of three or four children to continue in the principal's office until a full and complete report could be made, may I assure you that it was an error of administrative judgment and not an attempt to condone crookedness.

10. I am sure that neither you nor the Oklahoma Publishing Company desire to persecute unduly any one in this case, except the guilty parties. To me, and to a great many other people, it seems most unfair that my entire administrative career here should be criticized and evaluated in light of the Roosevelt case alone. I came here as your Executive Officer with the understanding that! was to make decisions and recommendations on the basis of sound educational philosophy rather than political expediency. This war emergency has doubled the problems and duties in the Superintendent's Office and, no doubt, errors in judgment have been made, but I have done my best, my conscience is clear.

It is my studied opinion that any unbiased evaluation of the local public school program will reveal the truth of the statement made yesterday by a prominent citizen, "Oklahoma City now has the best schools it has ever had." Apparently the fate of my professional career is to be decided by you in February. May your decision be based upon the facts and the best interests of the public schools. Very sincerely yours,

Herbert E. Wrinkle

Mr. Richardson moved that the Board adjourn until Monday, January 19^3> at seven-thirty o'clock P. M. Mr. Turner seconded the motion which was declared to have carried. THEREUPON THE BOARD ADJOURNED.

SECRETARIES SALARIES; The Superintendent requested that the Board give serious consideration to the possibility of increasing the salaries of school secretaries at this time for the reason that the school secretaries' salaries are so low that and the demand for secretaries so great at much more attractive salaries it seemed Imperative that some adjustment be made in order to secure and retain adequate secretarial help.

"A.

There are thirty-five school secretaries now receiving less than than the maximum of $125.00 a month. If all of these were increased $5.00 a month for the remainder of.this fiscal year, the total cost would be approximately $1,050.

SL.A.

MEETING OF JANAURY 20, 1943 (Continued)

"B. There are twenty-two secretaries receiving less than $100 a month, and if only these were given an Increment of $5.00 a month for the remainder of the fiscal year, the total cost would be approximately $660.00. "The approval of either one of the above plans would automatically raise the entrance salary to $70.00 a month, If the minimum entrance salary were increased to $75.00 a month and the seven-who are now receiving only $65.00 a month were raised to $75.00 a month, there would be an additional expense of $210.00."

Mr. Hisel moved.that the recommendation of the Superintendent and Director of business be concurred in and salaries of employees in the service and maintenance departments be approved as indicated on the foregoing list. The motion was seconded by Mr. Edwards and upon roll call carried unanimously. The following letter was presented and ordered filed and recorded in the minutes for future consideration:

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma January 7, 1943

Mr. J. Wiley Richardson, President Oklahoma City Board of Education Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Dear Mr. Richardson:

Because I feel a considerable measure of criticism and censure would fall upon me by virtue of my presumed knowledge of the insurance business in the event the school system should suffer a heavy fire loss, I feel disposed to dictate into the records this statement. In September, 1941 the Insurance Committee of the Oklahoma City Insurance Exchange called attention to the Board of Education that their properties had not been appraised in many years and that probably the insurance valuations placed on the several properties was not scientifically established. The committee also called attention to the obligation under the 30%> co-insurance clause of our policies and raised the question as to whether or not we carried adequate insurance to satisfy the requirements of that clause.

During the past year we have sustained lossed at Carey School and at Heronvllle. I am told by the adjusting company that in both cases the question of adequacy of coverage arose and became a very close one. Fortunately the nature of the loss in each case was such that the adjusting company was not forced to penalize us under that clause. Now we have another loss at Rockwood. In this case, there is a total loss and the co-insurance clause will not be operative irrespective of any deficiency in the coverage. I seriously doubt, however, if the amount of insurance carried will equal 30%> of the loss.

SALARIES ADJUSTMENTS

The real threat under this clause lies in the fact that the cost of materials and the cost of labor in re-building or replacing equipment has substantially advanced. A statistical report by the National Board of Fire Underwriters shows that equipment values have increased by more than &% since September, 1941 and replacement costs of buildings have increased by more than 11%.

Thus, assuming that our values in September, 1941 were accurate and the insurance provided was sufficient under the 90$ co-insurance clause, we are at least 11% underinsured today on our- buildings and &% underl figure bn our equipment. 'Moreover, replacement costs continue to rise with the prospect that both equipment and buildings will be underinsured to the extent of 15$ in the very near future. Accordingly, as a member of your Board, having insurance experience, I recommend the purchase of additional insurance on a one year 'basis in an amount of not less than &% on equipment and 11$ on buildings. It would be better to increase it to 12$ and 15$ respectively.

Salary Adjustment! Approved

Superintendent Wrinkle reported that in conference with Mr. Singleton, Regional Director of the P. W. A. of Fort Worth, he had been advised.that the Board of Education had been recommended to receive $121,000.00 Lanlfam Act Funds under the application for assistance in the operation and maintenance of the schools, the cost of which had been increased on account of increased attendance due to the war effort. The Board would be allowed to carry over a General Fund surplus of only $137,000.00 which is an average for the last three years and any supplemental appropriation of surplus would be deducted from the Lanham Act allocation of $121,000.00, and any surplus at June 30, 1943, over and above $137,000.00 would likewise be deducted from the Lanham Act allocation.

Report on Lanham Act Funds

The Board then took un for consideration the report of the Superintendent on TEACHERS SALARIES. On account of the increased cost of living and the opportunities for securing more remunerative employment in other activities, it is recommended that some encouragement be given to the teachers of Oklahoma City to remain in the system by granting salary increases at this time. Last fall salaries were adjusted according to an approved "formula" for all teachers who were receiving less than $2,000 with a bachelor's degree and $2,100 with a master's degree. A differential of $50 for the increased cost of living was also granted to those whose salaries, last year were less than $*4,500. The maximum increment was set at $150. If this same plan without the differential for Increased cost of living were applied to the other teachers with the maxima established at $2,200 for a bachelor's degree and $2,400 for a master's degree, the approximate cost will be as follows: Approximate number of teachers who are entitled to an adjustment 1. according to the "formula" schedule ($1,000- plus $100 for master’s degree plus $50 for each year's tenure in Oklahoma City system) with maxima of $2,200—$2,400, and maximum increment of $100. 42 teachers © $100 - $4,200 60 = . 3,120 52 teachers © IS teachers @ 50 = 900 4o = 200 5 teachers @ 30 = 270 9 teachers @ 20 teachers © 10 » 200 $8,8^6 $8,890 Suggested salary adjustments .for remainder of year (three warrants), 2.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE CITY OF OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, MET IN SPECIAL SESSION IN THE BOARD ROOM, ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, APRIL 7,

AT ONE-THIRTY O'CLOCK P. M.

PRESENT:

J. Wiley Richardson, President N. L. George, Clerk

Edd L. Hisel Dave R. McKown Roy J. Turner ABSENT:

WArren H. Edwards

Other officials present: Superintendent H. E. Wrinkle, W. A. Lybrand, Attorney, and Flora W. Penney, Secretary. Absent: Millard Prigmore, Auditor, and C. C. Roberts, Treasurer. The reading of the minutes was postponed.

The following resolution, prepared by the Attorney as requested at the previous meeting concerning salary increments for teachers in the Majority Schools, was read in full: *■#* RESOLUTION

Resolution Fixing The Board of Education has striven toward an equitable and proper salary "War Differ schedule for the teachers in the school system. Circumstances over which the ential" Board has no control have prevented a complete accomplishment of this desired Salary end. The Board has striven to fix salaries according to what is called the Adjustment "Formula" which provides a base annual pay of One Thousand Dollars minimum and and Twenty-four Hundred Dollars maximum for teachers with a master's degree, Majority plus Fifty Dollars for each year's tenure in the Oklahoma City Schools. Schools It is the desire and hope of the Board to increase the minimum base pay as soon as possible. In making contracts with teachers for the present year adjustments toward the Formula were made and it was and is the intention of the Board to make further adjustments in this direction as soon as possible.

During the present fiscal year there has been a marked change in circumstances and conditions largely due to the war emergency, including, among other things, additional duties on teachers and an increase in the pupil load. Moreover, there is a serious condition due to the great number, of teachers who are leaving the staff to take up more highly remunerative positions in lines other than teaching. This continuing depletion of theteaching force is so critical that the Board feels that something must be done at once to continue the proper functioning of the schools. Furthermore, the Board finds that there are now funds available to make adjustments herein provided. Funds available make it possible to fix the salaries of the teachers in the Majority Schools for the remainder of the school year after April J, 19^3, according to the following plan: PLAN

A. There shall be added to the salary of each teacher who has taught in the Oklahoma City School System for one or more years immediately preceding this school year a sufficient amount to bring the salary of the teacher up to but not beyond the formula above mentioned; provided that not more than One Hundred Dollars shall be added to the salary of any teacher under this paragraph (A).

B. In addition there shall be added to the salary of each teacher who has •* taught in this system one or more years immediately preceding this school year a "war differential" of Fifty Dollars, provided that the increase under this paragraph together with the increase under paragraph (A) hereof shall, not raise any teacher's salary more than Fifty Dollars above the "Formula Salary* unless said teacher’s salary was less than Fifteen Hundred Dollars last school year, in which case said increase may not exceed the "formula salary" more than One Hundred Dollars. C. There shall be added to the salary of new teachers employed for the second semester of this school year Fifteen Dollars, and to the salary of the

474 MEETING OF APRIL 7, Resolution Fixing War Differential SalaryAdjustments Majority Schools

new teachers employed during the first semester of this year Thirty Dollars (The term "new teachers â– included former teachers and reinstated teachers); provided that the addition to any teacherâ€™s salary under this paragraph shall not raise any teacher's salary above "The Formula" above set out.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board offer to all teachers In the Majority schools who fall within the terms of The Plan to cancel the present written contract of such teacher as of April S, 19^3 > and offer to enter into a new contract with such teacher covering the period from April S, 19^3, to the end of the school term, in which the teacher agrees to continue as a teacher during the remainder of this school year, which new contract shall embody all of the terms of the cancelled contract, except the salary under the new contract shall be that provided for in the cancelled contract, plus the additional amount provided for such teacher under The Plan hereinbefore set out.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that each teacher affected be advised of this offer and that the signed acceptance by any teacher affected of this offer of the Board, which shall embody a cancellation of such teacher's old contract and an acceptance of the new contract, shall constitute the new contract, a written contract between the Board and such teacher covering the period from April S, 19^3, to the end of the present school year. Resolution Adopted

Mr. Turner moved the adoption of the foregoing resolution. Mr. McKown seconded the motion and upon roll call all members present voted "Aye," and the motion was declared to have carried and the resolution adopted. Mr. Turner moved the adoption of the following resolution, prepared by the Attorney, pertaining to the Separate Schools:

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE CITY OF OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, MET IN

SPECIAL SESSION IN THE BOARD ROOM, ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, MONDAY,

SPRIL 26, 19^3, AT ONE-THIRTY O'CLOCK P. M.

PRESENT:

J. Wiley Richardson, President N. L. George, Clerk Warren H. Edwards Dave R. McKown Edd L. Hisel Roy J. Turner

Other officials present: Superintendent H. E. Wrinkle, Millard Prigmore, Auditor, and Flora W. Penney, Secretary. Absent: W. A. Lybrand, Attorney, and C. C. Roberts, Treasurer. The reading of the minutes was postponed.

The Superintendent submitted the following report on the use of swimming pools: "As requested at your recent meeting, a survey has been made of the present use of the swimming pools by secondary school students and the feasibility of making them available for the use of the military forces. A complete report is on file for each swimming pool. In general, however, the reports indicate that the pools are in continuous use by students throughout the school day and that it would be unwise to permit the use of the pools by both students and soldiers. If it is deemed advisable to make some pools available for the use of soldiers before the end of the present termâ€™, it appears from the reports that the ones which could be most conveniently be made available are Classen with an enrollment of 198 boys and 2S> girls, and Capitol Hill Senior High School with an enrollment of 250 boys and 176 girls/ These pools were not used last summer in the recreational program."

Report on Use of Pools

No Approval Until After Close of School

After discussion Mr. McKown moved that the Board withhold any approval of these requests from Will Rogers Field for the use of swimming pools until after the schools are closed and thereupon grant permission to use three pools to be determined by the Director of Business. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hisel and carried unanimously. (Mr. Edwards entered the meeting). A committee of patrons of Carey School came before the Board with reference to conditions which they claimed existed at this school. The President of the Board advised the committee that consideration of the matters presented would be taken up later in the meeting.

Committee from Carey School

Applications for the position of director of the school-city recreational urogram were considered and Superintendent Wrinkle recommended either Alonzo Roop or Clarence Breithaupt as being best.qualified for the position, either one*of whom would be satisfactory to Mr. Murphy of the Park Department. Mr. Turner moved that Alonzo Roop be approved by the Board as director of summer playgrounds as recommended by the Superintendent, at a salary of $50.00 a week. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hisel and upon roll call carried unanimously.

Director of Summer Playgrounds Elected

In the matter of bids for the sale of an old refrigerator, and for lots in Park Place Addition, referred to the Business Office, Mr. George reported that no bids had been received for the refrigerator. For the lots in Park Place Addition, the bid of J. D. McCallum in the amount of $1,050.00 for the fourteen lots was the highest and best bid received and it was recommended that this bid be accepted. Motion was made by Mr. Hisel and seconded by Mr, Turner that the Board concur in this recommendation and that a warranty deed be given to J. D. McCallum in consideration of the payment of the sum of $1,050.00, for the following described property:

493 Report of Offer for Britton Acreage Refused

Report on Junior College

Mr. George also reported that Mrs. Ida Frances Hadley had offered $100.00 for warranty deed to the one and one-half acre of ground owned by the Board in the Britton School District, the Board to furnish a brief to the abstract of the property and a full abstract, which it was estimated would cost $160.00*and $240.00 respectively. Mr. George was instructed to advise Mrs. Hasley that the Board refused to consider her offer. Attention was called to the fact that the enrollment in Capitol Hill Junior College is now only 15 as compared with 51 for the corresponding period a year ago; and that some junior colleges in the state had been discontinued for the duration of the war on account of the enormous decrease in enrollment Action on this report was not considered necessary at this time.

Schedule of Meetings

Mr. Richardson requested that on the coming Thursday (April 29) Mr. Wrinkle bring back to the Board an analysis of the men teachers in the school system, showing their assignment and status with relation to the salary formula; that at the regular meeting next Monday (May J), recommendations on teachers for next year be submitted and on the following Thursday (May 6) after teachers are selected, attention be given to the additional teacher needs for next year, and that subsequent meetings be held on Mondays and Thursdays for the purpose of determining salaries for next year.

Re quests for Salary Increases by Vocational and Industrial Arts Teachers

Superintendent Wrinkle reported that a letter from H. F. Rusch, Director of Vocational and Industrial Education, emphasizes the fact that Oklahoma City will lose a large number of its shop teachers unless the Board approves a differential in salary which will enable them to receive more thari**is called for under the '‘formula plan." If the law of "supply and demand" is to operate in the scheduling of salaries, it is imperative that the present salary formula be modified by giving differentials in salary to those who are teaching in specialized fields. In order to be most effective in holding the present personnel for another year, the salary schedule should be revised now and announced before the end of the present school term. Mr. Wrinkle commented that it was among the teachers in these specialized fields that the greatest disappointment arose from the recent salary adjustment plan and it would cost approximately $5>25° grant the men in these fields a "cost-of-living differential" of $5° each with the limitations Imposed in the recently approved salaryadjustment plan. In this connection, Mr, Wrinkle stated, Mr. Herbert G. Jones, instructor of vocational agriculture, has requested that the Board give him a definite statement now concerning the amount of his salary for next year.

The following resolution adopted by the School Secretaries Association was presented: Resolution Presented by School Secretaries Requesting Salary Increases

"WHEREAS, The School Secretaries of Oklahoma City recognize that salaries have Increased materially in other fields because of wartime conditions and higher living expenses, and they feel the need of more adequate salaries at least for the duration, and "WHEREAS, it is difficult to interest a capable, ambitious girl in accepting a school secretary’s job, because of the low beginning salary and the small advancement of only $60 a year, regardless of the degree of increasing ability, therefore, be it "RESOLVED, That the School Secretaries submit the following suggestions to the Board of Education for their consideration: "1. That the beginning salary of full-time school office employees be increased to a minimum of $£>5 per month. "2. That there be no ceiling salary for school secretaries. "3. That a girl’s proven ability, her experience, training, and education be considered in determining her position and salary when she enters the school system. "4. That an adjustment be made so that secretaries in school buildings shall be paid for the work they do on the same basis as those in the Administration Building. "5. That salaries of secretaries in school buildings which were reduced three years ago be placed back on their original basis of years of service. "6. That due to the fact that a number of school secretaries are being offered other positions at much more attractive salaries, there shall be an Increase in salary for all present school secretaries in line with increases in salary in other fields.

Respectfully submitted,

OKLAHOMA CITY SCHOOL SECRETARIES ASS'N

PAULINE EISENHOOD (signed) President"

These requests were passed, for consideration with salaries for next year and it was the consensus that a salary schedule would be worked out on the basis of whatever money was available. Mr. Wrinkle said be believed that a plan could be worked out to revise the salary schedule upward.

Salary Requests Passed for Future Action

Parents and patrons of Sandtown School submitted a petition for the establishment of a kindergarten for the school year .1943-19^, ' indicating that there would be twenty-seven children of kindergarten age next year. If requirements are present at the opening of school for the fall term, it was understood that the kindergarten would be established at the Sandtown School.

Kindergarten for Sandtown

The following resignations were presented:

Resignations Accepted

Lewis Braden, physical education, Central High School; to accept employment with the Oklahoma City Air Depot; effective April 26, 1943. Charles Evans, Jr., principal, Roosevelt Junior High School, to enter military service; effective at" the close of school in May, 1943.

Upon motion of Mr. Hisel, seconded by Mr. Turner, the resignations presented were accepted. Following the recommendation of the Superintendent, motion was made by Mr. Edwards, seconded by Mr. McKown, that Mrs. June McCharen be reinstated as a secretary in the Superintendent's office, at a salary of $95.00 a month, effective April 26, 1943. Upon roll call the motion carried unanimously. It was reported by the' Superintendent that since the resignation of W. G. Lay, industrial arts teacher at ^ouglass High School., H. J. Hendricks had been placed on full time instead-of half time. It was recommended, therefore, . that his salary be adjusted to $1,700.00, plus an additional $25.00 Increment under the recent salary adjustment plan. Motion was made by Mr. Edwards, seconded by Mr. Turner, that the recommendation be concurred in and upon roll call the motion carried unanimously. Mr. McKown moved that the following substitute teachers,recommended by the Superintendent, be approved by the Board:

Ethel Davis Ruth Loomis

Substitutes Elected

The motion was seconded by Mr. Edwards and upon roll call carried unanimously.

Superintendent Wrinkle made the following report on Personnel Problems 19*319U; "Since the Board will be faced with some fundamental problems of policy, your attention is called to certain facts concerning the personnel for 19*+3~ There are now $6 teachers on military leaves of absence who will probably return to their positions in the schools at the end of the war. If the war were to end during the year 1943-44 (this now seems improbable) and those who are on military leaves should present themselves for re-instatement, it would be embarrassing if some provisions were not made to use them without increasing the number of positions. There are also J2 teachers on leaves of absence for maternity, professional study, and illness who may request reinstatement for next year. There are now 52 teachers who are serving on "war contracts" and 19 teachers who' are serving as regular substitutes. Your policy with reference to the re-employment of teachers who are now serving under "war contracts" should be determined and announced to the principals now before their recommendations are made concerning teachers for next year.

"According to the present rules and regulations of the Board of Education, the following teachers will have reached the retirement age (62) at the end of this school year:

"Mary F. Lawson, Classen High School —24 years. Davida Richardson, Classen High School—15 years. Winnie Daigh, Jefferson Elementary School —36 years. Bertha Bays, Putnam Heights School —26 years. "Miss Lawson of Classen has requested permission to continue another year. What policies does the Board wish to follow in these matters?" The policy of the Board regarding war contracts was discussed, also the retire ment of the teachers mentioned in the report of the Superintendent.

MEETING- OF MAY 3, 1943 (Continued) The following letter was read in full by the Clerk:

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma April 23, 1943 Mr. N. L. George, Business Director 400 N. Walnut Street Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Letter from Carpenters Union

Dear Mr. George:

For the past year I have had considerable difficulty in persuading the carpenters employed by the Board in the Maintenance Department to continue their employment due to the fact that their wages during this time has been considerably out of line with the wages of similar departments, such as the City and County both have been paying $130 per month for Maintenance Carpenters. We are of the opinion that wages in these departments should both be the same, since they are all paid by the tax payers money.

Under present costs of living and increased taxes we feel that $130 per month is in line with the times and comes nearer to equalizing these increases . Carpenters Local Union #329 will appreciate very much if you will read this, letter of request to the Board for their consideration and approval.

Thanking you kindly, I am Signed:

WAM:WB

Yours very truly,

'•?

W. A. Meyer Business Manager

No action was taken on this request. Mr. George was requested to check the salaries of the carpenters working for the City and County.

Resolution Amending Rules and Regulation! RESOLUTION Barring Employment It is the firm and unanimous opinion and belief of the members of the Board j of Persons of Education of the City of Oklahoma City, after careful consideration, that membership in any of the organizations described in the following rule by mem- as teacher! who are bers of the teaching profession is incompatible with the ethics and high . ideals which have made, and the unsullied continuation of which is necessary 'â– Members of American to continue, teaching as one of the most honored professions, and, is inimiFederation cal to the proper functioning of such teachers and is prejudicial to the efof Teachen ficiency of the teaching forces and detrimental to the welfare of the public school system. I and Like OrganizaIt appears from reports that a few teachers in the Oklahoma City system have i tions joined such an organization to be known as the American Federation of Teach- j ers, Oklahoma Federation Local #7&7 and affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Although this resolution specifically is intended for those who allegedly have joined thlsorganization, and the few others who may contemplate joining, nevertheless unfortunately it becomes necessary 'trc direct it generally to all teachers - notwithstanding it is understood and deeply appreciated that a very large percentage of the teachers have expressed contempt for such an organization. After full discussion Mr. Turner moved the adoption of the following resolu- j tion: i

It is the firm and unanimous opinion and belief of the members of the Board of Education of the City of Oklahoma City, after careful consideration, that it is now necessary for the welfare and proper functioning of the public school system of Oklahoma City, that the following rule be adopted.

This will acknowledge your letter of May 5 requesting information on the monthly wage scale of carpenters employed by the City of Oklahoma City and whether or not they belong to the local union. Most of the Cityâ€™s carpenter work is done by the employees in the Skilled Labor Department and they are paid $1&0.00 per month and are affiliated with the local union.

are paid $1.25 Per hour on the basis of actual hours worked; no extra for The Bluff Creek Water Project is on the basis of seven days for overtime. week, eight hours each day. These employees can, if they choose, belong to the union, but it is certainly not required and is not necessary for them to belong to a union in order to work on this project or any other city work.

Minutes Approved

Mr. Warren Hitt, field supervisor from the regional office of the F. W. A., in Forth Worth, was present, having come to Oklahoma City at the request of the Board for a conference regarding the status of the Board’s application for a grant of $121,000.00 under the Lanham Act, for operation and'Maintenance of the Oklahoma City Schools. The Board was assured that every effort would be made by the Fort Worth regional office to secure approval by the Washington office so that funds would become available before June 20th for use during the present fiscal year. Mr. Hitt said that he believed the policy would be, in the case of Oklahoma City (and would apply to other school districts i in the State of Oklahoma), to deduct from the original grant only the supplemental appropriation of $50,000.00 already made, which would leave an actual allocation of $71,000.00 to the Oklahoma City School District, and there was no reason why all of this amount would not be forthcoming. The appropriation was for the purpose of of taking care of the influx due to the war and while it was the intention of the Act to leave the school district in as good financial condition as it was before the war, it could not allow the cash condition to improve. Therefore, ten percent would be retained until after the annual audit of June 3°, 1943, making approximately $63,000.00 immediately forthcoming; This, Mr. Hitt said, he believed to be the present policy, but the Board would receive a letter from Mr. Bradner, the regional director, officially setting out the policy.
