ACTION ITEMS: The Orleans Parish Board is asked to act upon the following action items: Action Item No 1. Approval of Transfer or Sale of Fleur de Lis Park

Rationale: In December 2010, OPSB authorized approval for the exchange of Fleur De Lis Park to NORA (New Orleans Redevelopment Authority) for property of equal value. Initial discussions on this transaction failed due to difficulty in arranging the transaction in a manner that would comply with State Laws regarding the disposition of surplus school board property.

OPSB has been successful in getting State Laws revised to allow for the sale or exchange of properties to another governmental entity for appraised value.

Recommendation: That the Orleans Parish School Board approves the agreement allowing for the transfer or sale of Fleur De Lis Park to NORA or the City for property or consideration of equivalent value.

November 5, 2013 EDUCATOR EFFECTIVENESS OBSERVATION SYSTEM REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL NO. 14-0016 Requestor: Nicolette London, Executive Director of Federal Programs Advertisement Dates: The Times - Picayune October 2 and 9, 2013 OPSB website – ongoing from October 2 to October 17, 2013 Publicly Opened:

October 17, 2013

Vendors Responding: 1 Principal of the Company: SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT NETWORK (MIDVALE, UT) President: Chet Linton BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Louisiana Department of Education has embarked on a new evaluation system for teachers and administrators as described in Act 54 and Bulletin 130.

Under the new system, every teacher and school leader in each public school is evaluated annually based on student growth and observations using the state’s Compass rubric. Local Education Agencies are required to conduct a minimum of 2 observations annually; provide feedback to teachers and administrators on the areas of strengths and needs for development; and collect additional performance data to inform evaluation. Additionally, teachers must receive assistance and opportunities to enhance their competencies, as well as, receive targeted professional development to address deficiencies identified in the evaluation process.

The School Improvement Network- Educator Effectiveness Observation System is a digital professional development tool that offers school and district leaders the ability to: (1) use any observation template to follow and complete the evaluation process without the burden of hard copies; (2) gather additional data on teachers; (3) provide immediate feedback to teachers based on an observation; (4) individualize and personalize professional development for teachers based on data gathered from observations. This system also provides teachers with: (1) access to an ondemand professional development video library to personalize learning through various types of technology; and (2) the ability to communicate and collaborate with other teachers.

This program will be used to supplement the overall district plan to implement the new teacher evaluation initiative in all OPSB direct-run and charter schools.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Orleans Parish School Board approve the proposal meeting the specifications for Educator Effectiveness Observation System for Curriculum, Instruction and Programs from School Improvement Network for one (1) year with the option to renew for two (2) additional one (1) year periods and authorize the Office of the General Counsel to prepare the contract for signatures of the Board President and the Consultant’s representative. The total amount of this award is $132,900.00 annually. Funds are available in the Title I No Child Left Behind and Title II Accounts.

October 2, 2013 CAPITAL PROJECTS BUDGET AMENDMENT #1 Requestor: Paul Lucius, Facilities / Wayne DeLarge, Finance BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Harrahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Bond Fundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s projects were approved for various maintenance and minor construction projects several years ago. Since then many of the approved projects have been completed through the FEMA fund under various Stabilization and New Construction projects such as, McMain Windows and Hynes Elementary School. We are proposing to allocate this funding to new maintenance and life safety issues projects for security measures that are needed in our schools and were not included in the Master Plan. Many of these projects will include interior door and hardware repairs, termite repairs, air handler or chiller replacement, clocks, etc. The net effect of this reallocation will result in no additional funding. See Attached.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Orleans Parish School Board adopt Resolution 29-13 authorizing the first (1st) amendment to the Capital Projects Budget.

All students (878) use this lab as 3 years of a foreign language is a graduation requirement for Franklin and it has become an important part of our school program.

We will have additional security during this event and will monitor the selling of beer as well as the use of our facility carefully.

I so enjoyed meeting you in person. We talked so many times, I felt like I was meeting a dear new friend! I was happy to hear that our supplies were shared by all at the school and I passed that information on to our entire Executive Board. When we update our website, it will be included there as well. I'd like to find a way to get a picture of the thank you card on there too! That was a nice touch by your group.
