Minutes of the Regular Meeting

East Sac County Community School District
Board of Education
December 15, 2014
The regular meeting was called to order by Rodman at 6:00 p.m. at the East Sac County
Elementary School Sac City. Present were Rodman, Wilhelm, Drost, Lynch, and Stoltenberg.
Also in attendance were Supt. Kruthoff, Principal Fischer, 16 visitors, and 1 media
representative.
Stoltenberg moved to approve the agenda as published, Drost seconded; motion carried 5-0.
The consent items were reviewed and discussed. Lynch moved to approve the bill to Albrecht
Oil for $785.80, Wilhelm seconded; motion carried 4-0, Drost abstained. Wilhelm moved to
approve the consent items including Minutes of the November 18 Regular Meeting, financial
statements, and bills on account of $135,743.76, Drost seconded; motion carried 5-0.
Supt. Kruthoff discussed information received from the Dept. of Education regarding school start
date. The Dept. of Education will not be approving waivers for early start dates without
evidence of academic or financial hardship. Therefore, we will likely start school sometime
during the week that includes September 1. Mrs. Kruthoff also shared with the Board
information regarding curriculum work continuing to be done at all grade levels.
The Board reviewed the application to the Dept. of Education/SBRC for Drop Out Prevention
Modified Allowable Growth. After discussion, Wilhelm moved to approve the application with
a total budget of $389,785 and modified allowable growth of $283,096, Drost seconded; motion
carried 5-0.
The Board had requested last month that Supt. Kruthoff let them know if she is interested in
continuing as Supt. after her current contract expires in June. Supt. Kruthoff informed the Board
she would be interested in continuing as Superintendent. Wilhelm moved to enter into contract
negotiations with Supt. Kruthoff for a 2 year contract extension with terms similar to this year,
Drost seconded; motion carried 5-0.
The Board agreed last month to meet with the Odebolt-Arthur CSD Board of Education to
discuss possible sharing and the future plans of each district. Further communications from
Odebolt-Arthur CSD inquired if East Sac County CSD would entertain discussions regarding
two way sharing (O-A CSD would send students to ESC CSD and in return ESC CSD would
send students to O-A CSD). The consensus of the Board was that although they are interested in
sharing discussions they are not interested in sending students to O-A CSD at this time.

District. The two candidates are Al Hazelton of Harlan and Joseph Lally of Denison. Wilhelm

only change was to add CPR as a requirement. Stoltenberg moved to approve the updated policy
as presented, Drost seconded; motion carried 5-0.
Representatives of the girls basketball team were present to request the Board consider allowing
Principal Fischer to volunteer as a coach for their program. There was discussion between the
Board and visitors. Mr. Fischer addressed the Board. Supt. Kruthoff addressed the Board. After
much discussion, Wilhelm moved to reverse the administrative decision and to allow Mr. Fischer
to volunteer with the girls basketball program, Lynch seconded; motion carried 4-1 with Rodman
voting nay.

Dear Barb Kruthoff,

The lowa Department of Education has accepted the recommendation from the
Commission on Educator Leadership and Compensation to approve your Teacher
Leadership and Compensation plan for the 2016-17 school year.
While you may be disappointed your plan was not approved for the coming year, we
hope that you will take advantage of the extended planning time. ln addition, you and
your team should feel a huge sense of accomplishment in reaching this important
milestone. You will not need to revise and resubmit your application. We will provide
additional details in the coming months with a process for submitting requests to modify
your plan (should you choose to do so).

We appreciate the time and effort you expended in applying and we look fonvard to your
district joining the third TLC cohort. This is an exciting time for public education in lowa.
As was true during the planning grant and application process, you are welcome to
contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,

fi-ff

BRAD A. BUCK, DIRECTOR

December 19,2014

Dear Superintendents,

This moming, the Iowa Department of Education announced the nexl round of school districts
selected to participate in the Teacher Leadership and Compensation System. I would like to share
with you the process the Department used to select these districts. As you may remember, the
Iowa General Assembly established the Commission on Educator Leadership and Compensation.
This Commission includes 19 voting members from across Iolva. Among other roles, the
Commission evaluates local Teacher Leadership and Compensation plans and makes approval
recommendations to the Department. The Commission completed this process last week. The
Departrnent has accepted the Commission's recommendations.
The Commission recommended the Department approve school districts' TLC plans in the rank
order in which they were scored (provided the district met a minimum score of 73 on a 100-point
scoring rubric). The Commission believed there is sufflrcient geographic and size diversity in the
highest-scoring plans to simply approve them in orderuntil funds are no longer available. As a
result, the Commission recommended 74 district plans for approval for the 2015-16 school year
and 5l additional plans forthe 2016-17 school year. This approach ensuresthe approval ofthe
highest-quality plans while also maintaining TLC as a statewide initiative representing each
geographic region of Iowa and all sizes of school districts.
The Deparfinent accepted the Commission's consensus-based recommendations in full because
we believe the approved plans meet the intent of the teacher leadership legislation and adequately
reflect the diversity in size and location of Iowa's schools. The Commission emphasized a highquality bar, and ultimately the districts that met that bar represented a diverse range of districts.
In the case in which more than one district had the same score and there were not enough
remaining resources to fund each of these plans, the Commission recommended the following
process:

1)

2)
3)

Eliminate from consideration districts scoring five or lower on any part of the application.
If the tied districts scored above five on all parts of the application, select the district with
the higher percentage of students qualifiiing for free or reduced-priced lunch.
If the districts have the same percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-priced
lunch, select the district from the AEA or size tier that was underrepresented among
selected applicants.

As was true last year, the scoring and selection processes were rigorous and fair. Commission
members scored only one part of each application. This process ensured scores were consistent
across applications. In addition, Commission members did not score the application of the school
district with which they were personally affiliated. Once the scores were finalized, the
Commission considered multiple options for selecting which school districts they would

recommend to the Department. At this point, a list of district scores was created; Commission
members did not see the names of the school districts or the names of the afhliated AEAs.
The Commission acknowledged that there was no perfect recommendation. The Commission
operated under the assumption that $50 million will be appropriated forthe Teacher Leadership
and Compensation System in the coming year. The Commission made its recommendations
accordingly, but also recognized there will be high-quality applications that will not be funded
this year. While districts that were not accepted this year will be disappointed, this is a short-term
challenge. All districts that submit a high-quality plan will be able to participate in the 2016-17
school year.

I am incredibly grateful for the effort Commission members put into this process. On average,
Commission members each spent more than 40 hours in a brief time period reviewing and scoring
applications. The Department could not have done this process at this level of quality without
their dedication. In addition, I feel more fortunate than ever to be working and living in Iowa.
There is great teaching and leaming happening in each school, which will only continue to
improve in the years ahead as we collaboratively develop Iowa's Teacher Leadership and
Compensation System.
Sincerely,
{Jfr

inside or outside ofthe school system without prior approval ofthe superintendent and/or board.
Approval of any other paid employment shall be made on a case-by-case basis with no future precedent
being set by any individual decisions made. The superintendent's and/or board's decision will be based
on various factors, including whether the in the superintendent's and/or board's exclusive and sole

Members of the Board of Education:

As we approaclrthe endof 2014 md look cn'*'ar*tcthe year 20L5, the rnernbers sf the
Board of Trustees of The Sac Community School District Educational Foundation pause
to review the activities of the past year, and also to review the personnel of the Board. As
you may recall, the names of three trustees are due for reappointment at the end of each
year.

The names of the trustees whose terms are ending this year are: Rita Samuelson, Asger
Sorensen, and Reggie Voyles. Mr. Voyles has agreed to serve another term. Mr.
Sorensen and Mrs. Samuelson wishes to retire from the Board.
The bylaws of the Educational Foundation require the approval of new trustees by the
Board of Education of the Sac Community Schools. Therefore, as president of the Sac
Community School District Educational Foundation, I respectfully submit the name of
Paul Huser and Jeani Green for new appointment to the Board of Trustees for a term of
three years; as well as Mr. Voyles for reappointment to the same, for a like term. These
terms will begin January 1,2015, and end December 3T,2017.
Thank you sincerely for your time and attention.

Cordially yours,

Hosting wrestling meets at the Wall Lake Facility

1) Mat storage available at Wall Lake no moving mats.
2) Does not affect PE schedule at Wall Lake.
3) Will not lose two nights of use of the Lake View or Sac gyms.
4) Concession concerns.
5) Less scheduling conflicts.
6) Made the following improvements to accommodate wrestling at Wall Lake.
-Move scoreboards from Sac gym.
-Updated PA system.
-Made shower improvements in main two locker rooms.
-Internet accessibility met

Concerns for not hosting wrestling meets at Wall Lake.

The Issues I have remain the same:

Locker Rooms We need 4 locker rooms Presently we use 3 locker rooms

and the music room. The largest locker room is under the stage and it does not have
a sink or a toilet, and I am not certain that the urinal works. One of the other locker
rooms is probably about 100 square feet. The 4th room is used as storage and is
emptied out that day to be used for a locker room

Internet Access This year the Association is mandating that we Live Score all
duals. Last year in the Wall Lake gym, this was attempted and it did not work. Has
the connection been strengthened?

Safety The Association did tell us that the mat rule is to be enforced. I think
that I have presented to you an option that will work for this. The Association also
brought to everyones attention that for dual meets the importance of a ten foot free
zone from the edge of the mats. This is impossible in Wall Lake.

To the Community of East Sac County:

It is by faith and not by sight that I have learned to walk the journey of my life. Four
years ago, I uprooted my daughters to a new adventure awaiting in Sac County, Iowa.
Looking back on that spontaneous decision, I often smile thinking of how that random
decision led me to the very place where I was able to find the words to our story.
I write this letter of resignation with nothing but gratitude and an unexplainable
attachment to a community that has somehow become part of the foundation of our roots.
Thank you for that. Thank you for cultivating a community able to freely find the value
in our version of "different".
Because of your openness in accepting me as I am allowed me to find the "better" in

myself I did not know existed. I learned from you that teaching isn't about rules, or
curriculum, or making sure we follow the protocol. I learned that educating adolescent
teenagers is simply about believing in them when they often don't believe in themselves.
I learned that teachers have an innate ability to discover the better in each child, and help
them learn how to freely give themselves to others who cross their path and spread their
incredible.
The past 4 years spent at East Sac High School have allowed me to find my value in this
profession. It has been within the walls of the high school in which I found my ability to
lead my students to uncover their ability to think, reason, and communicate with validity.
Sometimes it's not about the grade. It's about the people we meet on our life' s j ourney
who somehow possess a key to unlocking what we didn't even know needed to be
unlocked.

I have absolutely no idea what story my daughters and I will be written into as the
coming months unfold. Please know that I write this letter of resignation with hope,
peace, and a smile on my face as I get ready to meet my new and final group of East Sac
sophomores ready to experience English II. I wanted to give the district an opportunity to
find a quality replacement because your kids matter to me. Thank you for investing in our
lives these past 4 years.
As a final word, there simply is no perfect decision in life. It's a combination of finding
your identity and purpose, and discovering your tribe in order to spread your own
incredible.
