2. Superintendent Dwayne Lemoine addressed the Board by stating that he is determined to work with the Board as a new school year commences in order to achieve the goals that are set forth by the Board. He stated that he has found what occupies a majority of the Board’s time are the struggles for control over management, hiring practices, and day-to-day operation of the district. Mr. Lemoine stated that student achievement and student success are not at the forefront of these struggles. He reflected on the accomplishments that have been made and stated that the successes or failures are the result of the work that all Board members and school personnel perform together. Mr. Lemoine stated that this past school year, the district has successfully consolidated seventh and eighth graders and as a result the students are afforded educational opportunities that they were deprived of and now the students have access to all of these resources. Statics which were presented to the Federal Judge also have proven that the discipline problems have been reduced at each of the school facilities and they have adequate room to house the additional students. Therefore, Mr. Lemoine stated with that at no costs to the tax payers, we have been able to secure $5,000,000.000 designed to renovate and improve the district’s aging facilities. This will be the largest construction upgrade effort since the last school was constructed in 1979, excluding LaSAS. He further stated that this will be a district- wide improvement effort designed to improve all facilities, primarily focusing on the facilities that are in most critical need. Further, Mr. Lemoine stated that as school personnel embark on a new school year, he urged the Board, central office employees and himself to put any differences they may exist and begin with a clean slate and collectively work together to improve this system.
3. Mr. Luke Welch, Coordinator for Bunkie High New Tech, along with teachers, Jill Bain, Frank Palermo, Melissa White and Courtney Daenan presented an evaluation report on accountability data for Bunkie High New Tech.

President Jim Guillory addressed the Board regarding an update/review of the status for study groups as well as composition of the groups, plans for timeline(s) for meetings and policy issues.
Dr. Guillory stated that he and Vice-President Ricky Juneau have corresponded with the Board to move this important matter forward. Dr. Guillory further stated that it is only until recently that several Board members requested a continued discussion of this most important topic to achieve unitary status.
Dr. Guillory, therefore, requested that each member finalize their list of individuals for presentation to Mr. Foster. Mr. Foster will then compile this data and formulate a final list for the Board to review. He further stated that several criteria have been presented to the Board members to use when appointing members to the respective groups. Recently, the Board has generally agreed that central office staff and decision makers, principals and assistant principals, at school sites will be used as resource personnel. Mr. Foster will be asked to review each Study Group for general representation as previously indicated. Any questions may be directed to Mr. Foster.
Dr. Guillory stated that it is hope that a final vote on this mater will be considered at tonight’s Board meeting. Suggestions for making this process transparent, fair and representative of stakeholders in the district are appreciated.

Χ
Detailed records must be kept for all Green Factors submitted for review by the Federal Judge and Justice Department. Avoyelles Parish must adopt policies (first topic for Study Groups) that everyone must live by
in order to show “good faith” to achieve this goal.
Χ
She stated “their decree dealt with disproportionate concerns about discipline matters. Each principal having their disparity had to formulate a plan to diminish this inequity.
Χ
Rapides used a desegregation attorney and highly encouraged this Board to consider this as an option to move the process forward.
Χ
Ms. Chenevert also stated that the process included showing that the Board had to include minority students in Avoyelles Parish, gifted ad honors classes. Also, enrollments in schools by race, by school, and by class. Findings indicate an improvement in their test scores due to remedial courses being offered.
