NORTH SCOTT COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT
Eldridge, Iowa
Board Minutes – May 9, 2016
NOTE: These minutes are unofficial until approved by the board at the next regular meeting.
A special meeting of the North Scott Board of Directors was held on Monday, May 9, 2016, at 5:00
p.m. at the Administration Office (prior to the regular meeting). Members present were: Molly
Bergfeld, Joni Dittmer, Glen Keppy, John Maxwell, and Donn Wilmott. Reid Blanche and Nick
Hansel were absent.
President Maxwell called the meeting to order at 5:04 p.m.
Superintendent’s Recommendation for Expulsion of a Student
The superintendent is recommending the expulsion of a student for violating Board policy. The
superintendent is requesting a closed session to present the rationale for this recommendation.
Closed Session
Keppy moved to hold a closed session to conduct a hearing to suspend, expel or exclude a student,
unless an open session is requested by the student, or a parent or guardian of the student if the student is
a minor, in compliance with Chapter 21.5(1)(e), Code of Iowa. Seconded by Dittmer. ROLL CALL:
Ayes – Bergfeld, Dittmer, Keppy, Wilmott, Maxwell; nays - none. The board went into closed session
at 5:04 p.m.; then returned to open session at 6:18 p.m.
Open Session - Board Action Regarding the Superintendent’s Recommendation for Expulsion of
Student B
Bergfeld moved for the board’s attorney, Mikkie Schiltz, to read the motion. Schiltz read the motion,
as follows:
Based upon the evidence presented in closed session, the Board makes the following findings
of fact and conclusions of law:
 The student appeared. Her parents and stepparents also appeared.
 The Board accepted into evidence all exhibits in the disciplinary hearing packet
without objection, a copy of which was provided to the student’s parents prior to the
hearing.
 The student did not offer any exhibits.
 Witnesses for administration were Joe Stutting, Superintendent, Principal Shane
Knoche, and Dean of Students Aaron Schwartz who testified consistent with
information and documents contained in disciplinary hearing packet.
 The student and her parents presented testimony and answered questions from the
AGENDA
NORTH SCOTT COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT
Board Minutes – May 9, 2016
Page 2
Board.
 Having heard the witnesses and examined the exhibits presented by the parties, the
Board makes the following findings: the student participated and instigated a drug
deal at school in violation of school board policies and the student handbook.
 The Board finds the continued presence of the student would be detrimental to the best
interests of the school.
 There are no special circumstances to warrant an exercise of discretion to impose a
lesser penalty.
 The student is expelled until the end of the first semester of the 2016-17 school year.
By agreement with the family, the expulsion is deferred during the period, and the
student will be suspended during the same time period subject to meeting the following
conditions: the student will submit to a negative drug test monthly from August through
December at the family’s expense, the student makes adequate academic progress, the
student engages in counseling relating to her behavior, the student completes a drug
rehabilitation program. In the event the student successfully completes the items, her
suspension will end at the end of the 1st semester of the 2016-17 school year. If she is
unsuccessful meeting these conditions, including if she tests positive for drugs, the
student will be deemed expelled and the period of expulsion will continue through the
entire 2016-17 school year.
 During the period of the suspension, the school district will provide academic
assistance as deemed appropriate by the administration, and the student may confer
with the administration regarding these opportunities.
 During the period of the suspension/expulsion, the student is not allowed on any North Scott
Community School District property or at any school event where a North Scott team is
participating.
 The student is further directed not to have any inappropriate contact with any witness
providing statements or evidence in this case.
The motion was seconded by Wilmott. ROLL CALL: Ayes – Wilmott, Bergfeld, Keppy, Dittmer,
Maxwell; nays - none. Motion carried.
There being no further business, Dittmer moved to adjourn, seconded by Keppy. The meeting
adjourned at 6:23 p.m.

similar stations in approximately eight other districts. The recommendation is to purchase the
dispenser station, and then be able to apply for a tax credit of 30%. The purchase will allow us to bid
out the purchase of propane fuel, rather than being committed to one vendor. In addition to the propane
station, Baetke obtained a quote for a FuelMaster Fueling System in the amount of $13,500, which is
the same system the county uses. Blanche moved to approve the bid from Ag Advantage for the

approved.
2016 Graduation List

May 18, 2016
9:00 – 11:00 a.m.
At Central Office
1. Teacher Leadership – Year One
The district will be submitting an end-of-year state report by June 30, 2016 to report
on Teacher Leadership goals aligned with attracting and retaining teachers,
collaboration time, rewarding professional growth and student achievement.
Administrators shared some anecdotal evidence of strong support for the teacher
leadership positions throughout the seven buildings.
Further discussion centered on the unfilled 1.0 FTE elementary instructional
coaching position. It was decided to look next fall at the budget for teacher
leadership to potentially hire additional teacher leaders (formally called model
classroom teachers) at the elementary level.
2. VAST Kits in 2016-17
Kelly Rohlf shared an update on the Science kits for next year. With the state’s
implementation of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the VAST kits are
being revamped to meet the standards in one of three categories: Physical Science,
Earth Science, and Life Science. Kelly recommends we use 2 kits per elementary
grade level and build units to use to complete the requirements of NGSS. The
choice of kits addresses each of the three areas almost evenly throughout the
elementary years. Teachers will be involved in training for using the kits in the fall
as needed. Kelly is coordinating these efforts.
Grant Wood AEA is studying the kits and the standards to see if the use of three kits
per grade level would meet all of the standards. Until that is released, we will
continue with two kits. Summer work is scheduled for June 14th-15th on Science.
3. Assessments 2016-17
The determination of what assessments will be required by the state is still
undetermined. The cabinet decided that if we continue with Iowa Assessments next
year we would also continue with MAP tests in grades 3-10. If we move to Smarter
Balance, we would look at Chapter 12 to reduce the number of grades taking MAP
to meet the code for the second assessment requirements. The committee did not
decide on any changes in assessments at this time because nothing is firm from the
state at this time.
A discussion was held about FAST, the screener used for all PK-3 students and the
Early Literacy Implementation code. Buildings may have all classroom teachers
trained and certified to give the assessments, or use a SWAT team approach where
fewer staff gives the assessment three times a year. No one knew of a study which
indicates the best approach for obtaining the most accurate, consistent results.
4. Report Cards Update
Kelly has been meeting with a teacher group to study and revise the elementary
report card to improve this reporting tool. Feedback is being solicited from teachers
and, in the near future, a group of parents. The goal is to provide a succinct,
meaningful, and consistent grade level report card. The committee agreed that a
report card does not drive curriculum, but must share student progress towards
grade level standards.
