Gene Bumgardner addressed the Board on behalf of junior high baseball and softball teams. Because junior high baseball and softball aren’t recognized as school sports, these teams have paid for a janitor when using the gym for practice during inclement weather. Mr. Bumgardner also wants to have a procedure in place to schedule a janitor for those days when they need to practice inside so that the OAPSE contract is followed. Mrs. Jenkins asked why junior high baseball and softball aren’t school sponsored. Dr. Burkitt responded that they are not league recognized sports and are treated like club or pee wee sports. The district has managed pee wee sports in the past and elected to stop when faced with budget cuts. If the district sanctions the sports, there would be liability exposure as well as significant costs for transportation to the games. Mr. Bumgardner also discussed the possibility of purchasing inflatable hitting cages for the junior high programs to use. The board requested that he obtain quotes for those and report back. It was decided that Mr. Bumgardner will let Lewie Pritchett know by 2:00pm if he will need a janitor that evening.
16-048 CUSTODIAN EXPENSE Mr. Smith motioned that the district pay the cost of the custodian for inside practices held by junior high softball and baseball. Seconded by Mrs. Jenkins, and upon a roll call vote: Mr. Cutler YEA, Mrs. Jenkins YEA, Mr. Smith YEA, Mr. Stockham YEA, and Mr. Wooldridge YEA.
Vicki Spriggs addressed the Board regarding the transfer of a bus from one route to another when a driver bids. Amy Young wants to take bus 19 to her new route and that request has been denied. In the past this issue has been decided on a case by case basis. Earlier this year, Dr. Burkitt required a bus to stay on a route because it was a larger capacity bus specifically assigned to a crowded route. Mrs. Jenkins said that there should be a discussion if a new, larger capacity bus is involved; otherwise there is no objection to letting the driver take their bus to a new route.
Mrs. Spriggs also asked about the bid for secondary custodian at Jasper that came down at 2:00pm that day. Dr. Burkitt was made aware of the bidders and the Board will discuss in the early executive session.

One to One Computer Program – Mr. Amato showed an example of the Chromebook devices that would be purchased for this program. Mrs. Jenkins asked what grade levels would be served and how curriculum would be accessed. The plan is to start with grades 9-12 and curriculum would be accessed through Google Apps with unlimited cloud storage. Students can access their documents anywhere with or without internet access. Our current computers are aging and will need to be replaced. Chromebooks can be purchased for $180-$240. Desktops at Jasper and Zahns would be replaced as usual. Mrs. Jenkins asked what the timeline is for implementation. Mr. Amato and Dr. Burkitt responded that the plan is to purchase Chromebooks soon, train staff and outline expectations and start students in January, 2017. The Board would like more information at the next meeting.
Tobacco Policy – Dr. Burkitt completed a survey and interview with the Ohio Department of Mental Health regarding the district’s tobacco policy.

The current policy is legal as it is and Dr. Burkitt has concerns about enforcing a 100% tobacco free campus policy. Mrs. Jenkins asked about “No Smoking” signs. The Board wishes to order “No Smoking Beyond This Point” signs and have announcers read our tobacco policy at sporting events.
