Recommendation of Duncan DuVall, Southwest General, Agent of Record. -- Approved, bid of OSRMT $111K (had been %107K last year) ... see correction below:

Good Morning Ted,

I was just catching up on cville and read through the article on the board
meeting and noticed one important mistake. On agenda #13, the review of property liability insurance, the bid that the board accepted was for $86,022.00 from OSRMT. "Oklahoma Schools Risk Management Trust." This is a newer company specializing in schools that has been sponsored by the OSSBA.

The bid of $111,780.00 was what our last insurer (Chandler Insurance Managers Inc.) had brought to the table. I want to mention that as always when comparing insurance quotes that you must have a solid "apples to apples" comparison, I must add that not only was the bid a considerable savings for our district, we also came out with a lower deductible.

Lance West's past history in the insurance field certainly paid off on this
project. Lance did a great job with investigating and doing a thorough
investigation in this matter.

I apologize for not being more clear in our meetings, and in making sure that we provide the documentation for you to write on your website. You do a great job for our school and our community in providing coverage of so many different topics. I honestly don't know how you do it all. A Hearty Thank you.

Sincerely, Steve Stout --
(Jan. 18, 2011)

14) Employee Request to Use Sick Leave Sharing Policy 1 – Carolyn Harrington – Support Personnel - Custodian – HS. -- Approved, long-time employee suffered 3 heart attacks since Dec. 2 and has used all sick and personal days.
15) Recognition of School Board Members During National School Board Member Month.
16) Assistant Superintendent’s Report. -- Lance West reported on these topics:
* Title I budget approved
* Title II committee formed ... to bolster teaching ... meeting monthly
* Automotive insurance ...recommendation by Herb Weaver at State Farm to increase deductibles on school cars will likely be acted on. With only 4 $100 deductibles taken in the past 4 years will likely shift to a $500 deductible and save overall on premiums. WIll need bids for board to approve later.
* "EDIT" still going well -- Title II paying -- benchmark testing more frequently -- good prep for 2014 national testing requirements.


17) Superintendent’s Report. -- Terry Due reported on these topics:
* New Governor (Mary Fallin) & New State School Superintendent (Janet Barresi)
* Young wrestling program encouraging results including 2nd team finish at Cushing
* Basketball teams competing
* MS Honor Band (see Lewis comments above)
* Winter weather has been good so far -- no snow days (yet) ... will check bus routes at 4am (Tuesday) to decide 2nd day of current snow/re-freeze.
* Check for State Aid received ... still expect 201-12 to be toughest when federal stimulus dollars go-away.


18) Announcements. -- none
19) New Business: (if any, of an emergency nature or that was not known at the time the agenda was posted). -- none
20) Adjournment.

This notice being given and displayed by the authority of the School Board of Independent District, I-6, acting by and through the undersigned.
