Mrs. Coleman asked about the lighting at Central School. She did not see it on the list of items to be addressed next year. Mr. Wyrosdick told her that we will be taking a good solid look and review of Central School campus before any changes are made.
Mr. Wyrosdick asked Mr. Harrell to update the board on the damages our buildings suffered as a result of the flooding that occurred the evening of April 29, 2014.
Mr. Harrell first wanted to acknowledge and express his appreciation to Charlie Parker, Richard Laing, Rufus Phillips and Tim Tolbert for all their hard work immediately after the flooding. He also thanked the Maintenance and Administrative Services Office Staff, Cathy Ward, Teresa McCranie, Pam Brewton, Jennifer Northrop and Stephanie Collins, as well as the 28 maintenance workers that were able to make it to work to help with assessment of damage. He called attention to how much Southern Management Crews did for us all around the district. Since we have had trial runs several times when preparing for tropical storms we were prepared to act. Beginning Wednesday morning with a staff briefing and assignment of schools that each employee was responsible for, assessments began at 8:00 a.m. and were largely completely by 1:00 p.m.
Mr. Harrell reviewed schools with major damage including: Milton High School, Holley Navarre Intermediate, Holley Navarre Primary, Woodlawn Beach, Gulf Breeze High School, Pace High School. He explained that Southern Catastrophe and Southern Management were at work immediately at these sites resulting in carpet being removed or in some cases they were able to save the flooring. At this point, the total square footage of carpet being replaced is 70,221. Current cost estimates range between 750 and 850 thousand dollars. The insurance adjuster is currently reviewing our policy for covered items and it appears that the district will have a 100 thousand dollar deductable. After attending a FEMA applicant meeting at the EOC on Tuesday afternoon, it appears that FEMA will be paying 75% of approved expenses that are not covered by insurance. The State will pay 12.5% of the remaining 25% and the district will be responsible for 12.5%.
Finally, Mr. Harrell shared with the board that while cost of these damages is by no means small, he knows that if we were not budgeting monies to reroof old roofs and repair damaged roofs, maintain our retention ponds around the district, and perform numerous drainage improvement projects around the district, things would have been much worse. He thanked the board because each year they approve the budget that allows him to make the necessary improvements to our facilities on a yearly basis.

| | | | | | | | | | | Motion to was moved by , Seconded by . Motion by a Vote of 0 - 0.
Karen Retherford, Human Resources Services/Risk Manager began by reviewing the district's Wellness Initiative that was started approximately five years ago. We began this initiative to improve the well being and health of our employees and to decrease our medical costs. In 2009 the biometric screening program was started and resulted in 132 employees being identified with critical values. In October 2009 Virgin Health Miles started. 57% of employees participated in the program until budget restrains forced us to discontinue the program. In September of 2010 the board approved a stipend for wellness coordinators. This year the coordinators have held 74 physical activities, and 64 wellness education workshops involving 2,000 employees.
In January 2011, our medical insurance plans were changed to cover preventive procedures such as annual exams, immunization, colonoscopies, and mammograms. In Sept. 2011, we began offering $20 premium credit to employees who participated in the Biometric Screening and completed an online assessment. This year Blue Rewards will be offering a number of ways, such as assessments, on-line tools and education and exercise tracking for employees to earn a total of 300 points to receive the $20 premium credit. Mrs. Retherford said she felt confident in saying we are seeing an upward trend in medical savings from our wellness efforts.
Ms. Patti Powell, Regional Manager Florida Blue came forward to review the Health Screening Executive Summary Report for Santa Rosa County Schools. She explained the information is stored securely so that personal identity is protected. Florida Blue provides the screenings and Personal Health Assessments to employer groups as a value-added service. The total value of these services provided is approximately $70 per participant, or $126,000.
She reviewed the Summary Sheet which included information on participation and critical values that were found during the screens and the top risk areas for our organization. They included diabetes, BMI, blood pressure and nutrition. The overall wellness score for participants in Santa Rosa County Schools' Health Screening was 77. A score below 80 indicates an elevated likelihood that individuals will develop certain medical conditions. The demographics page indicated the majority of our employees ethnicity is white and are over 40 years of age. She explained that knowing our employee's ages and ethnic backgrounds can help us understand risk stratification and make informed decisions about worksite wellness programming that may be relevant to our population. Health screening participants are categorized into one of three risk classifications based on their biometric results and responses to the Personal Health Assessments. The eight factors included in the risk profile are: BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, physical activity, stress, tobacco and depression. Santa Rosa fared pretty well in the risk profile comparison.
The Body Mass Index (BMI) overview indicated Santa Rosa employees had a BMI score of 67.
37% of employees were in the ideal category, 31% borderline and 32% were in the high risk.
Blood Pressure overview indicated our employees score 72. 39% were in the Ideal category, 53% were borderline and 8% fall in the high risk category. Mr. Winkles asked about the new Blood Pressure Guidelines and whether these figures followed the new guidelines or the old guidelines. He reported there has been a change in when someone is considered for treatment.
Ms. Powell continued through the report briefly calling attention to the percentages and the score of our employees in the following areas: HDL cholesterol, diabetes, hemoglobin, nutrition, physical activity, stress, depression, tobacco use, alcohol, vehicle safety, and preventive health.
There was a brief mention of the possibility of scheduling employees flu shots at the same time as the PHA if the vaccine is available at that time. Ms. Powell finished up the presentation by reviewing the critical value report, the comparison report and the overview of risk factors.
The entire report can be found in the supplemental minutes.
The board thanked Ms. Powell for her presentation.

Mr. Emerson explained the task force met a total of 5 times beginning in January 2014 along with additional email communication among the members. They reviewed the process used to identify Gifted and Talented students and various delivery models. During their review, they examined Santa Rosa County's practices as well as those from surrounding districts. They gathered input from elementary teachers, middle school teachers, school psychologists and also gained insight to the many opportunities at the district's high schools. In addition the task force members were given an explanation of the funding process and how Exceptional Student Education funding is generated in particular. As the task force reviewed each area, recommendations were developed for consideration and then a final list of recommendations for the school board were identified.
The following recommendations were made to the School Board:
- Brand our district ESE Services. (ie. FACES, SMILE, GEO, ACE)
- Develop a comprehensive district Gifted Education Plan.
- Develop consistency in the identification process at all schools. (ie. training teachers, evaluate the current screening tool, use of assessment scores, timeline)
- Allow use of the Standard Error of Measure identification model for use when School Psychologists deem appropriate.
- Investigate a feasible tool to allow for screening of all 2nd grade students.
- Investigate the development of a Plan B identification model.
- Fund Summer Workshops allowing district Gifted teachers to collaborate in writing Unit Curriculum. (up to $8,000.00).
- Improve availability and viability of middle school gifted programs.
- Develop and implement a quarterly district wide high school gifted student community of innovative learning and problem solving.
- Assemble a committee to investigate the establishment of an International Baccalaureate program at one of our district's high schools.
Mrs. Coleman suggested that we consider including an elementary and high school principal on the task force to help gain their insight. Mr. Wyrosdick recommended adoption of all the task force recommendations and to organize a task force to implement them. | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | Motion to was moved by , Seconded by . Motion by a Vote of 0 - 0.
Debbie Price, School Health Coordinator presented the updates and information regarding the health status and Body Mass Index of 1st, 3rd and 6th grade students. Ms. Price explained as a courtesy to the board, this information has not been shared with the media or public yet. The board will receive the information first and then it will distributed to the public.
Ms. Price shared that we collect this data in compliance with Florida Administrative Code, Chapter 64F-6.003. It mandates growth and development screenings be provided at a minimum for grades 1, 3 and 6. Students with a high BMI may have an increased risk of developing certain diseases including: High Blood Pressure; Cardiovascular Disease; Diabetes; Osteoarthritis; and Cancer.
Ms. Price explained that Body Mass Index is a number calculated from a person's weight and height. The BMI provides a reliable indicator of body fat for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health concerns.
Ms. Price reviewed the data in the report. (for further information the report can be found in the supplemental minutes). She was disappointed to report that even with the nutrional information and education students are receiving, their BMI data shows an overall increase. The number of overweight and obese students increased. Ms. Price reviewed the BMI data we received from childcare centers and it looks as though our future school age students will be arriving with high BMI figures.
Ms. Price reviewed some of the educational opportunities and programs that are available for our schools and community to use. Some of the programs available are the 5-2-1-0 Campaign, GeoMotion TV, The Walking Classroom, Fuel up to play 60 Grant Program, and Healthier US School Challenge. She also called attention to the many community partnerships we have including FL DOH Santa Rosa, University of Florida - Santa Rosa Extension Services, Sodexo, 4-H, Early Learning Coalition, Live Well North West Florida, University of West Florida, Americorps and the YMCA.
The board thanked Ms. Price for her presentation. | | |
