CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL
The meeting was called to order by Ms. Wilson at 4:00 p.m. She noted for the record the presence of all five Board
members present, constituting a quorum.
OPENING EXERCISES
Mr. Quintana noted administration would like to pull the Assistant Superintendent’s contracts from item 5.A. to allow time
to gather information in response to Board members’ questions related to the document.
Ms. Smith moved to adopt the agenda as presented and Ms. Bartels seconded the motion. Upon call to a vote, the
motion carried.
GOVERNING BOARD WORKSHOP
Mr. Quintana explained in general the work the Executive Team has engaged in since the last workshop to streamline the
District’s various goal plans into a cohesive, singular document, the District’s Master Plan.
Dr. Wright had the Board review the results from the Board self-evaluation session completed in a previous workshop.
The Board was asked to review the ratings and consider if they are still comfortable with the ratings assigned previously.
Some questions were raised about the Board doing this at this point, as they had already completed this process at the
last workshop. Dr. Wright explained the purpose was to ensure the direction of the Master Plan aligns with what the
Board wishes to see. Mr. Quintana suggested providing the Board with the goals developed by the Executive Team in
response to the direction provided by the Board in previous workshops.
Ms. Wilson pointed out at the last workshop, the Board decided it would be working on its own goals for itself at this
session.
The first suggestion was for a goal related to Board member attendance at Board meetings, to come to meetings familiar
with the agenda and prepared to vote, i.e., The Governing Board will have a 97% attendance rate. This goal correlates to
A.3. Board members come to meetings thoroughly familiar with the agenda and relevant materials. Mr. Samaniego
commented that the goal should be for a 100% attendance rate, so the Board is always striving for 100%, but changing it
to 100% attendance at all regular meetings.
Suggested Board Goal: The Governing Board will have a 100% attendance rate at all regular meetings.
Mr. Samaniego noted the policy related to agenda distribution is for the Board to receive agendas five or six days in
advance of a meeting. Mr. Quintana clarified the policy by reading it. The current policy is for regular meeting agendas to
be distributed not less than 24 hours prior to the meeting, but whenever possible, six days prior to the meeting. Mr.
Quintana commented that there needs to be cross training among staff to ensure agendas are prepared within the given
timeline.
Suggested Board Goal: The Governing Board will receive agendas and backup documents six (6) days in advance
of every meeting.
The Executive Team was given the opportunity to provide feedback regarding the feasibility of them being able to provide
information for agendas within these timelines.
Minutes of the Special Meeting
of the Governing Board

March 5, 2015
Mr. Aldama suggested Mr. Quintana meet with individual Board members on a bi-weekly basis to address any questions
they may have regarding agenda items or any other matters. Ms. Bartels suggested adding to the policy that the
Superintendent contact each Board member the Monday prior to the meeting to see if there are any questions.
Mr. Aldama included the possibility of meeting with staff as well as the Superintendent. Dr. Wright commented that
communication with Board members should be done through the Superintendent. Mr. Aldama felt staff should be able to
reach out to Board members directly. Ms. Smith shared it had been her experience that when there is free
communication between staff members and Board members, it’s created more issues than when communication is
funneled through the Superintendent. Dr. Wright agreed this is the best course of action, as the communication should be
made through the individual who the Board can hold accountable.
Ms. Smith suggested the Board revisit its operating protocols. Ms. Wilson said this could possibly be made a goal, to
review operating protocols annually.
Suggested Board Goal: The Governing Board will review its Operating Protocols annually.
Suggested Board Goal: Orientation for new Governing Board members will be improved.
Suggested Board Goal: Improve the structure for Board-Superintendent communication.
Mr. Aldama reiterated his request for the Superintendent to have standing bi-weekly meetings scheduled with individual
Board members.
The Board was asked for direction moving forward.
The expectations for the next workshop:
- Continue conversation regarding Governing Board’s Goals
- Dr. Wright’s suggestions for goals
- Review Superintendent/Executive Team goals draft (Superintendent’s Goals section of Master Plan)
Ms. Wilson suggested having the next workshop session prior to a regular Board meeting. Mr. Samaniego commented in
his experience having a full-day retreat workshop might be more productive and effective than broken up into multiple
shorter meetings. Mr. Quintana offered the possibility of meeting once or twice annually for a day-long retreat.
The Board will have a shorter workshop session to finish discussion of goals and look at administrations plan. Once
completed, then a 4-6 hour full day retreat can be held.
Mr. Quintana will work with Ms. Wilson to determine the feasibility of conducting a two hour workshop on April 9th starting
at 5:00 p.m. prior to the regular meeting scheduled that evening.
Mr. Quintana provided the Board with a written progress report for his performance goals. Board members were asked to
contact Mr. Quintana with any questions. The Executive Team is preparing a progress report on the strategic goals. The
Board was asked if it preferred the report in an update or during the meeting. The Board preferred the report to be made
through the Board Update.
Ms. Smith asked that the progress report be included with the meeting’s minutes. The report is attached to the minutes.

Timeline/Progression
July 10, 2014 – Executive Session held to complete Summative Evaluation for 2013-14 school year. Following the Executive Session, Mr. Quintana was
given the Board’s first three Performance Goals for the new school year.
July 23, 2014 – Reconvened Executive Session to continue work on Summative Evaluation and 2014-15 Performance Goals. Decision made to forgo
the evaluation and focus on goals, with discussion to continue in Executive Session prior to the August 14th meeting.
August 14, 2014 – Goals four and five developed during Executive Session and communicated to Mr. Quintana. It was determined the Board would
work out some of the confusion/issues related to the Superintendent’s performance evaluation process, the Superintendent’s performance pay criteria,
and performance/strategic goal setting in a workshop to be scheduled in the near future.
In public session, Mr. Quintana presented a draft of proposed strategic goals for the Board to provide feedback prior to finalization.
September 24, 2014, October 21, 2014, and November 20, 2014 – Workshops facilitated by Dr. Bill Wright conducted. Discussion focused on the

Executive Session convened to begin deliberating formative evaluation, and 2013-14 performance pay. Work was carried over to December 18, 2014
and completed January 29, 2015
Performance Goal Progress Report
Reports on progress towards strategic and performance goals will be made quarterly, beginning at the end of September. The
progress reports will be made via the Board Update; the following meeting’s agenda will have the goals as a discussion item to allow
Board members to ask questions or provide feedback. Performance goals’ discussion will be in executive session, strategic goals’
discussion will take place in public session.
Goal Area One: Strategic Goals
The Superintendent will set SMART District strategic goals:
- The Board will have the opportunity to provide input on the goals, either through workshops, one on one, or via the
Board Memo.
The strategic goals were presented to the Board on August 14th for discussion and feedback. Prior to that meeting, I
spoke to Board members individually to collect input and suggestions. Following the meeting, I also met with Ms.
Smith and Ms. Bartels regarding their suggestions for refining the goals. Following the collection of the Board’s
feedback, strategic goals were rolled out to administrators for use in the 2014-15 school year.
Currently, multiple goal plans are in existence within the District, including:
-
Superintendent’s Performance Goals
District Strategic Goals
Board Priorities/Goals
Strategic Planning BHAGS
Individual Site Continuous Improvement Plans
There are significant overlaps among and between each of these goals. The Executive Team has collated the goals
from all of these various sources into one document aligned with the Board’s priorities. We have an outside
consultant working with the Board and Superintendent to develop one final, comprehensive Master Plan as the
singular document to guide the District’s next three to five years.
-
High academic achievement expectations must be established and communicated throughout the District, to all
stakeholders and the community.
I have ensured in all of my messages (Weekly Memo, Leadership Team Meetings, Welcome Back Celebration, Staff
Update, etc.) that high academic expectations are emphasized.
The Executive Team has engaged in discussions with principals regarding clear academic alignment, expectations
and standards. As a result of these discussions, we are developing the GESD Learning Structure to articulate the
common language we will all use to ensure uniform practices across the District.
I have communicated the expectation that Principals and Assistant Principals must spend a minimum of two hours
every day in classrooms monitoring instruction and providing teachers with timely feedback.
I am regularly involved in discussions and decision-making in the area of Curriculum and Instruction to personally
assure the high academic expectations the Board wishes to see. As a result of my involvement, the framework for the
Minutes of the Special Meeting
of the Governing Board
Page 6
March 5, 2015
GESD Learning Structure has been created, the explicit support to schools has been provided, targeted interventions
have been implemented for students, and the Master Schedule expectations have been clarified.
Classroom audits were conducted at our four D schools. The audit findings were shared in detail with each site’s
administrative team, followed by the instructional staff, and plans developed to address any deficiencies the audits
identified. In addition, we instituted a direct coaching model to intensify support for these schools. We are monitoring
the progress that’s been made since the initial audit was completed. On a regular basis, the Executive Team reviews
the progress and resources needed at all D schools, to include staff changes. We are using the principal and teacher
performance evaluation systems aggressively to raise accountability.
The Governing Board will be provided with copies of each school’s strategic goals and plans and will receive regular
updates on progress towards goals.
The plans have been gathered and will be posted on the Board’s secure site for access.
-
Performance and Strategic Goals will be placed on Board meeting agendas for discussion on a quarterly basis.
A timeline has been developed and dates calendared for quarterly Board discussions/reviews of goals. A progress
report on the Superintendent’s Performance Goals was presented to the Board at the December 8th meeting. A
second update is provided in March. The Board will be provided with a progress report on the District’s Strategic
Goals in March as well.
The Board Update was restructure to ensure the Board regularly receives information and updates related to each of
the goal areas. When the District’s various different plans and goals have been culminated into a singular Master
Plan, this will also result in a more streamlined and effective system for reporting progress.
-
Prior to the August 14th Regular Meeting, the Superintendent will seek input from each Board member on the
Strategic Goals he will propose. The proposed Strategic Goals will be presented to the Board at the August 14, 2014,
Regular Meeting for discussion and approval.
These requests were all met in the process completed to develop this year’s strategic goals.
-
In future years, this process will be completed prior to April 30th of the end of the school year to be available for
summer planning activities.
A timeline has been established and dates calendared for the goal-setting process to be completed annually. A draft
of goals for 2015-16 will be provided to the Board in early April, to be placed on the April 23rd Special Meeting agenda
for the Board to approve. The goals that will be recommended will be in alignment with the Master Plan being
developed with Dr. Wright.
Goal Area Two: Business/Community Partnerships
The Superintendent will develop and implement strategic short-term and long-term SMART goals to move the District
forward in its outreach to the community, and business (public and private) partnerships. As part of this, the Board will
receive details on a regular basis regarding progress towards these goals.
Within the strategic goals developed at the start of the year is a goal and action steps specific to building the District’s
business and community partnerships.
Goal: By November 2014, the District will enhance and increase efforts to maintain two-way communication with
business partners and to increase business partnerships.
Action Steps:

Identify District needs that may be supported by current and potential business partners.

Identify ways the District can support business partners.

Plan and host quarterly breakfasts to meet with community/business partners, beginning in November, 2014.
In response to this goal, we have completed the assessment of school needs that can be supported through partnerships.
The list that was generated was shared at our inaugural business partners’ breakfast in November (see below).
Minutes of the Special Meeting

March 5, 2015
The next business breakfast is scheduled to be held April 7th.
As part of the master planning work being done, we are developing goals to build the District’s partnerships and
community engagement that are more long-term in nature.
Minutes of the Special Meeting

Through our recent involvement in Glendale Rotary, a community member has expressed interest in initiating the legal
work to establish an educational foundation for the District.
We are regularly a visible presence at Glendale Chamber of Commerce events and sit on the Board of Directors. More
recently, we have engaged the Chamber’s Executive Director in discussions to further develop the relationship between
the District and the Chamber in order to further both organizations’ missions for the benefit of the entire Glendale
community.
Goal Area Three: Communication
The Superintendent will develop and implement a system for tracking and responding to Board Member inquiries and
requests in a timely manner. Part of the tracking will include designating the venue for the response, i.e. Board meeting,
Board update, email, individual meeting, etc.
We have developed and implemented a system for tracking and sharing Board member inquiries. We are still in the
process of looking for ways to refine protocols to ensure the log captures all communications not coming through the
Superintendent’s Office.
Goal Area Four: Parental Involvement
The Superintendent will establish uniform standards for parental involvement District-Wide.
Uniform Standards for Parental Involvement were established and rolled out to administrators at the start of the school
year. We have performed periodic surveys throughout the year to check how comprehensively the standards are being
adhered to at each site. We are tracking the information and following up with schools that still have work to do to meet
these expectations.
At the end of the year, we will be revisiting these standards to identify adjustments that can be made before the start of
the 15-16 school year that will raise the bar in this respect.
As mentioned below, information regarding parental involvement are also a part of the monthly principal reports to the
Board.
Goal Area Five: Monthly Reports
The Superintendent will require all principals to submit a monthly report for their site to include information regarding business and
community partnerships; parental involvement; communications; academic achievement; and professional development. These reports
will be provided to the Board each month, opposite from a week when there is a Board update.
We have developed and implemented a system for principals to submit monthly reports to the Board according the goal’s
direction. We will continue to make adjustments in our procedures to refine this process for optimum reporting.

Arizona Department of Education’s Leading Change Conference
1. Relevance of conference/workshop to employee(s) work responsibilities:
As a leadership team, we are always looking for ways to improve our leadership skills. This workshop is
designed to help me learn from other professionals in education. At this conference, I will have the opportunity
to learn from others who are building innovative educational environments to significantly enhance student
learning.
2. How will employee(s) share information with colleagues?
This workshop will provide us with some innovative ideas to bring back to Desert Spirit and GESD and share
with our colleagues. We also know that we would be able to start the 2015-2016 school year off with some new
and fresh ideas that would benefit our school team immediately.
3. How is the conference/workshop related to district, school or department goals and or objectives?
Ultimately, any changes that are made in our leadership skills, affect students. Through this conference, we
will be able to increase our knowledge and skills in accountability measures, new standards, the response to
intervention framework, and the teacher evaluation system. All of these breakout sessions have a direct impact
on students and student learning. We also feel that this conference will provide us with some time as a
leadership team to be off campus and begin planning professional development as well as laying some
groundwork for our strategic plan for the 2015-2016 school year.
The 2015 Leading Change Conference is sponsored by the Arizona Department of Education. Our theme this year is "Lead the Change, Unleash Greatness," reflecting the essential leadership priorities facing all Arizona educators. This conference will provide school leaders with meaningful professional development and timely information in areas such as:  AZCCRS (Arizona's College and Career Ready Standards)  AzMERIT (the new statewide assessments)  Accountability (federal and state accountability)  Recruitment and Retention  Technology  School Climate and School Improvement  Leadership Revised July 1998

District staff will be presenting and participating in a roundtable that focuses on the preparation and delivery of
the AzMERIT Computer Based Test. GESD is one of 3 or 4 districts sharing the experience of the AzMERIT.
As district leaders from around the state learn of our experiences, we will also learn from the experience of
other districts that may provide us with ideas to improve upon GESD’s delivery of the AzMERIT with reduced
impact upon class schedules and to become more efficient in the preparation for the AzMERIT computer based
tests.
2. How will employee(s) share information with colleagues?
A summary will be provided for directors and cabinet of new ideas to facilitate discussion and defining plans in
preparation for the 2016 AzMERIT.

The AzMERIT is the new state assessment that is developed for the purpose of communicating where students
are from year to year in the progress to be college or career ready upon graduation from high school. The state’s
purpose for delivering the AzMERIT as a computer based assessment is to facilitate the students’ development
of 21st century skills in an assessment to measure students’ abilities in English Language Arts and mathematics.
District goals point toward improving the technical skills of students and improving student achievement. The
participation in the conference is expected to further clarify how GESD can expand the integration of technical
skills while working with students to meet rigorous content standards.

LEAVES OF ABSENCE WITHOUT PAY
The District recognizes that on occasion extenuating circumstances arise that may necessitate
absence from duty that is not covered by other specific leave provisions of the District. To
address such situations, a leave of absence, without pay, may be granted a member of the
certificated or support staff for not longer than one (1) year.
Leave of absence may be requested for, but not limited to, the following purposes:
For additional education that relates to the employee's primary assignment. A plan of
contemplated course work must be presented.
To provide for an unpaid leave in a situation where the employee will be absent from work
because of (1) a reason that conforms to a policy currently in effect but the maximum
number of days provided for in that policy will be exceeded, or (2) failure to report to work
without prior notification to the Superintendent.
For a leave of absence that benefits or is in the best interest of the District, as determined
by the Board upon review of the application.
For leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
A leave of absence requested pursuant to this policy may be:
Approved by the Superintendent if the leave period does not exceed twelve (12) weeks; or
Recommended by the Superintendent and approved by the Governing Board if the leave
period exceeds twelve (12) weeks.
A request for leave of absence shall not be denied by the District if the employee is entitled to the
leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. All other applications for leave of absence may
be granted or denied by the District, in its sole discretion.
Each request for such a leave of absence shall be in a written application stating the purpose,
starting date, and duration of the leave of absence, the reasons for its necessity or desirability,
and any other information the applicant deems relevant to the request.
The leave of absence shall be only for the purpose and duration approved and may not be
extended without written approval by the District. Leave of absence shall not exceed one
(1) year.
Employees on an approved one-year leave of absence must notify the Human
Resources Department in writing of their intent to return the following school year no
later than March 15th.
All rights of continuing status (certificated teachers only), retirement, salary increments, and
other benefits shall be restored at the level earned when the leave was granted. All accrued
sick, vacation, personal, and other paid leave shall be applied to the leave period unless
otherwise agreed to by the District or prohibited by the Family and Medical Leave Act.
Family and Medical
Leave Act (FMLA)
The District shall fully comply with the Family and Medical Leave Act and all interim and final
regulations interpreting the FMLA issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. Accordingly, all
portions of this policy that pertain to the FMLA shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with
the FMLA and its regulations. Subject to the conditions set forth herein, any eligible employee
of the District may take up to twelve (12) weeks of leave (FMLA leave) measured backward for
each employee from the first time such employee uses leave under FMLA without pay, for any
one (1) or more of the following reasons:
Because of the birth of a child of the employee and in order to care for such child.
Because of the placement of a child with the employee for adoption or foster care.
In order to care for the spouse or a son, daughter, or parent of the employee, if such person
has a serious health condition.
Because of a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the
functions of the position of such employee.
Because of any qualifying exigency (as the Secretary shall, by regulation, determine)
arising out of the fact that the spouse, or a son, daughter, or parent of the employee is on
active duty (or has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty) in the Armed
Forces in support of a contingency operation.
An eligible employee is one who has been employed by the District at least twelve (12) months
and who has completed at least one thousand two hundred fifty (1,250) hours of service
immediately prior to the time the FMLA leave is to commence.
Serious health condition means an illness, injury, impairment, or physical condition that
involves inpatient care in a hospital, hospice, or residential medical facility, or outpatient care
with continuing medical treatment by a licensed physician. Any employee who has been
employed by the District at least twelve (12) months and who has completed at least one
thousand two hundred fifty (1,250) hours of service immediately prior to the time the leave is to
commence shall be eligible for FMLA leave.
Special conditions applicable to FMLA. Entitlement to leave for the birth of a child or the
placement of a child for adoption or foster care ends at the expiration of a twelve (12)-month
period, beginning on the date of the event. An eligible employee who is the spouse, son,
daughter, parent, or next of kin of a covered servicemember shall be entitled to a total of
twenty-six (26) workweeks of leave during a twelve (12)-month period to care for the
servicemember. The leave described to care for a covered servicemember shall only be available
during one (1) single twelve (12)-month period.
A husband and wife working for the District may be limited to a total of twelve (12) weeks of
leave during each applicable twelve (12)-month period for leave for the birth of a child or the
placement of a child for adoption or foster care and to care for an employee's parent with a
serious health condition. The aggregate number of workweeks of leave to which both the
husband and wife may be entitled under covered servicemember family leave combined with
leave as described in the previous sentence shall be limited to twenty-six (26) workweeks during
one (1) single twelve (12)-month period.
An employee shall substitute accrued vacation or other applicable leave for FMLA leave, to the
extent available by policy, unless otherwise agreed to by the District.
Notice. An employee must provide at least thirty (30) days notice before the FMLA leave is to
begin if the need for the leave is foreseeable based on an expected birth, placement for adoption,
or foster care, planned medical treatment for a serious health condition, or military service leave
of the employee or family member. If thirty (30) days notice is not practicable, notice must be
given as soon as practicable. The notice shall be in the form of a request for leave of absence as
specified in this policy. The District may deny FMLA leave to any eligible employee until such
time as the employee has provided the required notice.
Certification. All FMLA leave shall be supported by medical certificate provided by the
employee's health provider in the form of the exhibit accompanying this policy. In any instance
where the FMLA leave must be preceded by thirty (30) days notice, the medical certificate should
accompany the request for leave of absence. In any other instance, the medical certificate
should be provided within fifteen (15) days after the FMLA leave commences.
Certification of active military duty or call to active duty in support of a contingency operation
for purpose of receiving family leave shall be required under the same conditions as FMLA
certification for leave indicated above.
The employee may be requested (at the District's expense) to provide recertification of medical
conditions in support of leave if the District feels that the circumstances so warrant and notice is
given. Recertification shall not be required for intervals shorter than thirty (30) days.
Whenever a medical certification or recertification is required of an employee, notice describing
such requirement and providing the form of such certification shall be provided to the employee.
An employee shall not be denied FMLA leave or other rights under the FMLA unless a notice
required by FMLA in such situation has first been provided to the employee.
In the case of continuation, recurrence, or onset of a serious health condition to the employee,
covered family of the employee (including a servicemember being cared for by an employee) and
the employee is unable to return to work, certification issued by the health care provider of the
entity with the serious health condition shall be required to support the inability of the employee
to return to work.
Intermittent or reduced time (IRT) leave. FMLA leave may be taken intermittently or on a
reduced leave schedule under the following circumstances:
If medically necessary to care for a family member or for the employee's own serious
health condition;
Because of any qualifying exigency the spouse, or a son, daughter, or parent, of the
employee is on active duty, or notified of an impending call or order to active duty in
support of a contingency operation; or
If approved by the District.
The District may, for the term of the leave, transfer the employee to an alternative position with
equivalent pay and benefits.
If the IRT leave is for an instructional employee (one whose principal function is to instruct
students in a class, small group, or as individuals), the District can require the employee either
to take leave for a period or periods of a particular duration not greater than the duration of the
planned treatment or to transfer temporarily to an available alternative position with equivalent
pay and benefits that provides better accommodation of recurring periods of leave, provided the
leave is:
Requested to care for a qualifying family member or as a result of the employee's serious
health condition preventing job performance;
Foreseeable, based upon planned medical treatment; and
For more than twenty percent (20%) of the working days in the leave period.
The employee may be granted leave under these circumstances, subject to reasonable efforts to
schedule treatment so as not to unduly disrupt the educational program.
Special end-of-semester circumstances for instructional employees. Under each of the
following conditions, leave for an instructional employee may be required to continue to the end
of the academic semester:
Leave begins more than five (5) weeks before the end of the semester, leave is for at least
three (3) weeks, and return to employment would occur during the last three (3) weeks of
the semester.
Leave other than for the employee's serious health condition begins within the last five (5)
weeks of the semester, leave is for greater than two (2) weeks duration, and return to
employment would occur during the last two (2) weeks of the semester.
Leave other than for the employee's serious health condition begins within the last three
(3) weeks of the semester and leave exceeds five (5) working days.
Employee notification. With each request for FMLA leave, the employee shall be notified:
About FMLA by provision of the FMLA fact sheet (Exhibit EE).
As appropriate concerning the expectations, obligations, and consequences of taking FMLA
leave per 29 C.F.R. 825.301 of FMLA.
That FMLA leave may be withheld until a requested notice is provided or the time frame is
met.
That if leave is granted to an employee who is unable to perform the work required,
restoration may be denied until the employee has complied with the request to provide
medical certification of ability to return to work.
The District will post notices in conspicuous places on the District premises that provide a
summary of FMLA and information on how to file a charge for an FMLA violation.
Health care continuation. An employee taking FMLA leave shall be entitled to have the
health care plan in which the employee is participating continue under the same terms and
conditions applicable to actively working employees. The District shall require the repayment
of any health care premiums paid by the District for continuing coverage during the period of the
FMLA leave if the employee fails to return to work after the FMLA leave expires and the failure
to return is not due to circumstances beyond the employee's control.
Position restoration. Upon return from FMLA leave, an employee shall be restored to the
same position held before the FMLA leave commenced or to an equivalent position with
equivalent pay, benefits, and working conditions. The District requires an employee to provide
a medical certificate from a health care provider that the employee is able to resume work before
returning from FMLA leave for a serious personal health condition. The District may delay the
return of an instructional employee from FMLA leave at the end of a semester, in accordance
with Section 825.602 of FMLA rules. The District may deny restoration of position to any key
employee (i.e., one who is among the highest-paid ten percent [10%] of all employees of the
District), in accordance with Section 825.218 of FMLA rules.

YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE FAMILY AND
MEDICAL LEAVE ACT OF 1993
The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) requires covered employers to provide up to
twelve (12) weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave to "eligible" employees for certain family and
medical reasons. Employees are eligible if they have worked for their employer for at least one
(1) year, and for one thousand two hundred fifty (1,250) hours over the previous twelve (12)
months, and if there are at least fifty (50) employees within seventy-five (75) miles. The FMLA
permits employees to take leave on an intermittent basis or to work a reduced schedule under
certain circumstances.
Reasons for Taking Leave
Unpaid leave must be granted for any of the following reasons:
To care for the employee's child after birth, or placement for adoption or foster care;
To care for the employee's spouse, son or daughter, or parent who has a serious health
condition; or
For a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the employee's
job.
At the employee's or employer's option, certain kinds of paid leave maywill be substituted for
unpaid leave.
Advance Notice and Medical Certification
The employee may be required to provide advance leave notice and medical certification.
Taking of leave may be denied if requirements are not met.
The employee ordinarily must provide thirty (30) days advance notice when the leave is
"foreseeable."
An employer may require medical certification to support a request for leave because of a
serious health condition, and may require second or third opinions (at the employer's
expense) and a fitness for duty report to return to work.
Job Benefits and Protection:
For the duration of FMLA leave, the employer must maintain the employee's health
coverage under any "group health plan."
Upon return from FMLA leave, most employees must be restored to their original or
equivalent positions with equivalent pay, benefits, and other employment terms.
The use of FMLA leave cannot result in the loss of any employment benefit that accrued
prior to the start of an employee's leave.
Unlawful Acts by Employers
FMLA makes it unlawful for any employer to:
interfere with, restrain, or deny the exercise of any right provided under FMLA.
discharge or discriminate against any person for opposing any practice made unlawful by
FMLA or for involvement in any proceeding under or relating to FMLA.
Enforcement:
The U.S. Department of Labor is authorized to investigate and resolve complaints of
violations.
An eligible employee may bring a civil action against an employer for violations.
FMLA does not affect any federal or state law prohibiting discrimination, or supersede any state
or local law or collective bargaining agreement which provides greater family or medical leave
rights.

MILITARY FAMILY LEAVE
On January 28, 2008, President Bush signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act for
FY 2008 (NDAA), Public Law 110-181. Section 585(a) of the NDAA amended the Family and
Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) to provide eligible employees working for covered employers
two (2) important new leave rights related to military service:
(1) New Qualifying Reason for Leave. Eligible employees are entitled to up to twelve
(12) weeks of leave because of "any qualifying exigency" arising out of the fact that the
spouse, son, daughter, or parent of the employee is on active duty, or has been notified of
an impending call to active duty status, in support of a contingency operation. By the
terms of the statute, this provision requires the Secretary of Labor to issue regulations
defining "any qualifying exigency." In the interim, employers are encouraged to provide
this type of leave to qualifying employees.
(2) New Leave Entitlement. An eligible employee who is the spouse, son, daughter,
parent, or next of kin of a covered servicemember who is recovering from a serious illness
or injury sustained in the line of duty on active duty is entitled to up to twenty-six (26)
weeks of leave in a single twelve (12)-month period to care for the servicemember. This
provision became effective immediately upon enactment. This military caregiver leave
is available during "a single twelve (12)-month period" during which an eligible employee
is entitled to a combined total of twenty-six (26) weeks of all types of FMLA leave.
Additional information on the amendments and a version of Title I of the FMLA with the new
statutory language incorporated are available on the FMLA amendments Web site at
http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/fmla/NDAA_fmla.htm.

FACT SHEET NO. 28:
THE FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT OF 1993
The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment Standards Administration, Wage and Hour
Division, administers and enforces the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) for all private,
state and local government employees, and some federal employees. Most federal and certain
congressional employees are also covered by the law and are subject to the jurisdiction of the
U.S. Office of Personnel Management or the Congress.
The FMLA became effective on August 5, 1993 for most employers and entitles eligible
employees to take up to twelve (12) weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave in a twelve (12)-month
period for specified family and medical reasons. Amendments to the FMLA by the National
Defense Authorization Act for FY 2008 (NDAA). Public Law 110-181, expanded the FMLA to
allow eligible employees to take up to twelve (12) weeks of job-protected leave in the applicable
twelve (12)-month period for any "qualifying exigency" arising out of the fact that a covered
military member is on active duty, or has been notified of an impending call or order to active
duty, in support of a contingency operation. The NDAA also amended the FMLA to allow
eligible employees to take up to twenty-six (26) weeks of job-protected leave in a "single twelve
(12)-month period" to care for a covered servicemember with a serious injury or illness.
Employer
Coverage
FMLA applies to all public agencies, including state, local and federal employers, local education
agencies (schools), and private-sector employers who employed fifty (50) or more employees in
twenty (20) or more workweeks in the current or preceding calendar year, including joint
employers and successors of covered employers.
Employee
Eligibility
To be eligible for FMLA benefits, an employee must:
work for a covered employer;
have worked for the employer for a total of twelve (12) months;
have worked at least one thousand two hundred fifty (1,250) hours over the previous twelve
(12) months; and
work at a location in the United States or in any territory or possession of the United
States where at least fifty (50) employees are employed by the employer within seventy-five
(75) miles.
While the twelve (12) months of employment need not be consecutive, employment periods prior
to a break in service of seven (7) years or more need not be counted unless the break is
occasioned by the employee's fulfillment of his or her National Guard or Reserve military
obligation (as protected under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights
Act (USERRA)), or a written agreement, including a collective bargaining agreement, exists
concerning the employer's intention to rehire the employee after the break in service. See,
special rules for returning reservists under USERRA.
Leave
Entitlement
A covered employer must grant an eligible employee up to a total of twelve (12) workweeks of
unpaid leave during any twelve (12)-month period for one (1) or more of the following reasons:
For the birth and care of a newborn child of the employee;
For placement with the employee of a son or daughter for adoption or foster care;
To care for a spouse, son, daughter, or parent with a serious health condition;
To take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health
condition; or
For qualifying exigencies arising out of the fact that the employee's spouse, son, daughter,
or parent is on active duty or call to active duty status as a member of the National Guard
or Reserves in support of a contingency operation.
A covered employer also must grant an eligible employee who is a spouse, son, daughter, parent,
or next of kin of a current member of the Armed Forces, including a member of the National
Guard or Reserves, with a serious injury or illness up to a total of twenty-six (26) workweeks of
unpaid leave during a "single twelve (12)-month period" to care for the servicemember.
Spouses employed by the same employer are limited in the amount of family leave they may take
for the birth and care of a newborn child, placement of a child for adoption or foster care, or to
care for a parent who has a serious health condition to a combined total of twelve (12) weeks (or
twenty-six [26] weeks if leave to care for a covered servicemember with a serious injury or illness
is also used). Leave for birth and care, or placement for adoption or foster care, must conclude
within twelve (12) months of the birth or placement.
Under some circumstances, employees may take FMLA leave intermittently - taking leave in
separate blocks of time for a single qualifying reason - or on a reduced leave schedule - reducing
the employee's usual weekly or daily work schedule. When leave is needed for planned medical
treatment, the employee must make a reasonable effort to schedule treatment so as not to
unduly disrupt the employer's operation. If FMLA leave is for birth and care, or placement for
adoption or foster care, use of intermittent leave is subject to the employer's approval.
Under certain conditions, employees or employers may choose to "substitute" (run concurrently)
accrued paid leave (such as sick or vacation leave) to cover some or all of the FMLA leave. An
employee's ability to substitute accrued paid leave is determined by the terms and conditions of
the employer's normal leave policy.
"Serious health condition" means an illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition
that involves either:
Inpatient care (i.e., an overnight stay) in a hospital, hospice, or residential medical-care
facility, including any period of incapacity (i.e., inability to work, attend school, or perform
other regular daily activities) or subsequent treatment in connection with such inpatient
care; or
Continuing treatment by a health care provider, which includes:
A period of incapacity lasting more than three (3) consecutive, full calendar days, and
any subsequent treatment or period of incapacity relating to the same condition, that
also includes:
treatment two (2) or more times by or under the supervision of a health care
provider (i.e., in-person visits, the first within seven (7) days and both within
thirty (30) days of the first day of incapacity); or
one (1) treatment by a health care provider (i.e., an in-person visit within seven
(7) days of the first day of incapacity) with a continuing regimen of treatment
(e.g., prescription medication, physical therapy); or
Any period of incapacity related to pregnancy or for prenatal care. A visit to the
health care provider is not necessary for each absence; or
Any period of incapacity or treatment for a chronic serious health condition which
continues over an extended period of time, requires periodic visits (at least twice a
year) to a health care provider, and may involve occasional episodes of incapacity. A
visit to a health care provider is not necessary for each absence; or
A period of incapacity that is permanent or long-term due to a condition for which
treatment may not be effective. Only supervision by a health care provider is
required, rather than active treatment; or
Any absences to receive multiple treatments for restorative surgery or for a condition
that would likely result in a period of incapacity of more than three (3) days if not
treated.
Maintenance
of
Health
Benefits
A covered employer is required to maintain group health insurance coverage for an employee on
FMLA leave whenever such insurance was provided before the leave was taken and on the same
terms as if the employee had continued to work. If applicable, arrangements will need to be
made for employees to pay their share of health insurance premiums while on leave. In some
instances, the employer may recover premiums it paid to maintain health coverage for an
employee who fails to return to work from FMLA leave.
Job
Restoration
Upon return from FMLA leave, an employee must be restored to the employee's original job, or to
an equivalent job with equivalent pay, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment.
An employee's use of FMLA leave cannot result in the loss of any employment benefit that the
employee earned or was entitled to before using FMLA leave, nor be counted against the
employee under a "no fault" attendance policy. If a bonus or other payment, however, is based
on the achievement of a specified goal such as hours worked, products sold, or perfect
attendance, and the employee has not met the goal due to FMLA leave, payment may be denied
unless it is paid to an employee on equivalent leave status for a reason that does not qualify as
FMLA leave.
An employee has no greater right to restoration or to other benefits and conditions of
employment than if the employee had been continuously employed.
Notice
and
Certification
Employee Notice
Employees seeking to use FMLA leave are required to provide thirty (30)-day advance notice of
the need to take FMLA leave when the need is foreseeable and such notice is practicable. If
leave is foreseeable less than thirty (30) days in advance, the employee must provide notice as
soon as practicable - generally, either the same or next business day. When the need for leave is
not foreseeable, the employee must provide notice to the employer as soon as practicable under
the facts and circumstances of the particular case. Absent unusual circumstances, employees
must comply with the employer's usual and customary notice and procedural requirements for
requesting leave.
Employees must provide sufficient information for an employer reasonably to determine whether
the FMLA may apply to the leave request. Depending on the situation, such information may
include that the employee is incapacitated due to pregnancy, has been hospitalized overnight, is
unable to perform the functions of the job, and/or that the employee or employee's qualifying
family member is under the continuing care of a health care provider.
When an employee seeks leave for a FMLA-qualifying reason for the first time, the employee
need not expressly assert FMLA rights or even mention the FMLA. When an employee seeks
leave, however, due to a FMLA-qualifying reason for which the employer has previously provided
the employee FMLA-protected leave, the employee must specifically reference either the
qualifying reason for leave or the need for FMLA leave.
Employer Notice
Covered employers must post a notice approved by the Secretary of Labor explaining rights and
responsibilities under FMLA. An employer that willfully violates this posting requirement may
be subject to a fine of up to one hundred ten dollars ($110) for each separate offense.
Additionally, employers must either include this general notice in employee handbooks or other
written guidance to employees concerning benefits, or must distribute a copy of the notice to each
new employee upon hiring.
When an employee requests FMLA leave or the employer acquires knowledge that leave may be
for a FMLA purpose, the employer must notify the employee of his or her eligibility to take leave,
and inform the employee of his/her rights and responsibilities under FMLA. When the employer
has enough information to determine that leave is being taken for a FMLA-qualifying reason, the
employer must notify the employee that the leave is designated and will be counted as FMLA
leave.
Certification
Employers may require that an employee's request for leave due to a serious health condition
affecting the employee or a covered family member be supported by a certification from a health
care provider. An employer may require second or third medical opinions (at the employer's
expense) and periodic recertification of a serious health condition. An employer may use a
health care provider, a human resource professional, a leave administrator, or a management
official - but not the employee's direct supervisor - to authenticate or clarify a medical
certification of a serious health condition. An employer may have a uniformly-applied policy
requiring employees returning from leave for their own serious health condition to submit a
certification that they are able to resume work. If reasonable safety concerns exist, an employer
may, under certain circumstances, require such a certification for employees returning from
intermittent FMLA leave.
Unlawful
Acts
It is unlawful for any employer to interfere with, restrain, or deny the exercise of any right
provided by FMLA. It is also unlawful for an employer to discharge or discriminate against any
individual for opposing any practice, or because of involvement in any proceeding, related to
FMLA.
Enforcement
The Wage and Hour Division investigates complaints. If violations cannot be satisfactorily
resolved, the U.S. Department of Labor may bring action in court to compel compliance.
Individuals may also be able to bring a private civil action against an employer for violations.
Other
Provisions
Special rules apply to employees of local education agencies. Generally, these rules apply to
intermittent leave or when leave is required near the end of a school term.
Salaried executive, administrative, and professional employees of covered employers who meet
the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) criteria for exemption from minimum wage and overtime
under Regulations, 29 C.F.R. Part 541, do not lose their FLSA-exempt status by using any
unpaid FMLA leave. This special exception to the "salary basis" requirements for FLSA's
exemption extends only to an "eligible" employee's use of leave required by FMLA.

PoliticalAgenda
These overarching issues must be addressed for public schools to excel and provide an
opportunity for every child to succeed. Providing high quality public education is the best
investment to grow Arizona’s economy. The items below reflect those key issues on which
we will concentrate over the next 5-10 years.
1. Structurally change the school finance formula to equitably and adequately fund public schools to:
a. Assure a more stable and reliable source.
b. Maximize local school district flexibility in managing these funds.
5-10
c. Require the same accountability measures of all schools and individuals that
receive public funds.
years
d. Repeal any program that gives public monies to private schools.
2. Uphold preservation of local control to reinforce the connection between the community
and its elected governing board members.
3. Meet the unique educational needs of every student so that every student has the opportunity to reach
his/her full potential.
Building toward our long-term areas of success, the following items represent critical
needs to put us on that path, and will engage our energies over the next 3-5 years.
1. Fund voluntary, full-day kindergarten and include kindergarten students in the override
calculation.
2. Reinstate and fund capital funding formulas to comply with at least state school building
3-5
minimum standards.
years
3. Provide greater equity in funding and access for special education students within the
public school system.
4. Allow public school tax credits to be used as determined by local districts.
5. Establish appropriate financial and academic accountability for Empowerment Scholarship Accounts.
6. Maximize trust land income for teachers’ salaries and student classroom opportunities.
Building toward our long-term areas of success, the following items reflect issues that
will not only move us forward, but we believe can be accomplished next year given the
legislative atmosphere and current public trends.
1. Advocate to lessen unfunded mandates and administrative burdens.
2. Restore Building Renewal funding to ensure school facilities are adequately maintained.
3. Change “override/budget increase” language to “locally controlled funding” to better reflect what voters
are being asked to support.
4. Allow school districts greater flexibility in the divestiture of property to address
population and course needs.
2015
5. Allow districts the option to operate individual schools for 200-day school years and
increase accompanying funding to 8% from 5% to improve student achievement.
6. Restore 9th grade funding for CTE/JTEDs, and fully fund JTEDs at 100%, so that
students have the opportunity to be exposed to and pursue career fields and/or certification completion.
7. Reinstate the ability of districts to charter schools for innovation.
8. Fund the implementation costs of Arizona’s new standards, assessments, and technology and provide
for adequate assessment transition time.
9. Lead efforts to align Arizona’s accountability system with the criteria desired for student, school, and
district success.
10. Fund inflation fully in the manner prescribed by statute mandated by Arizona voters.
11. Establish appropriate financial and academic accountability for Arizona Online Instruction programs.

Revised Expenditure Budget #2
Ms. Sara DiPasquale, Director of Finance
RECOMMENDED BY: Mr. Mike Barragan, Assistant Superintendent for Financial & Auxiliary Services
DATE ASSIGNED FOR CONSIDERATION:
May 14, 2015
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Governing Board approve the FY 2014-2015 Expenditure Budget Revision #2
as presented.
RATIONALE:
Pursuant to ARS 15-905, school districts must revise their expenditure budgets by May 15.
The second and final revision to GESD’s 2014-15 Expenditure Budget includes two important
items of note:

An increase in the Unrestricted Capital Outlay budget (p. 4 of 8) of $51,198 due to
Arizona Department of Education recalculations of the District’s Revenue Control Limit
(RCL) in the amount of $44,539 and the District Additional Assistance (DAA) in the
amount of $6,659.

Adjustment to the General Budget Limit (GBL) (p. 7 of 8) of -$335,341 transferred to the
Energy and Water Savings fund to cover the current-year financing payments for the
performance contract. Although the contract work is nearing completion, it likely will
be fiscal year 2016-17 before energy savings are maximized. As of April 30, the District
has spent $111,886 less on electricity when compared to the same period last year. We
estimate the District will realize about $144,000 in total savings on electricity this fiscal
year over FY 2013-14. The M&O budget (p. 1 of 8) was decreased by $335,341 as a
result of the transfer to the Energy and Water Savings budget (p. 6 of 8, line 32).
As a result of the reduction to the GBL and M&O budget, the District’s Budget Balance Carry
Forward (BBCF) into FY 16 also will be reduced.
