Revised Policy #3311, Firearms and Weapons, 3rd Reading
Dr. Marilyn King, Deputy Superintendent Instruction, and Steve Johnson, Deputy Superintendent Operations

were a result of recommendations by MTSBA to update wording based on SB 348 and include additional changes to
wording recommended by the Board. An exception for the Montana Hunter and Bow Hunter Safety Program was
also proposed. Deputy Superintendent Johnson stated a letter from Jim Johnson, Chief Instructor, Gallatin County,
FWP Montana Hunter Education Program was submitted and attached to the agenda item. Steve Johnson explained
we have a long history with FWP Montana Hunter Education Program. Deputy Superintendents Johnson and King
reminded the Board that this policy will be reviewed every year by the Board in December or January.

changes to Policy #3311. Jim Johnson provided the Board with information on the Montana Hunter Education
Program and answered Trustees’ questions.

Discussion and Reports
Superintendent Rob Watson led the Board Retreat portion of the meeting. The Retreat began with a presentation
from Mr. Jeff Krogstad and a group activity involving the development of belief statements.
The Board then discussed individual LRSP Goal Areas. Under Goal Area 1 (Academic Performance), the group
reviewed district wide reading and math assessment data and discussed actions planned to address the trends that
are becoming evident from that data.
Following the assessment discussion, the group transitioned into Goal Area 2: Operations and Capacity Building. As
a part of this goal area, the group received an update on the teacher and principal evaluation process from Director of
Human Resources Pat Strauss and BEA President Tami Phillipi. The group then briefly touched on various
administrative issues including the Principal and Superintendent Evaluation Process, the Smarter Balanced
Assessment, and Dr. Watson’s AASA Capstone Project.
The meeting concluded with a tour of the new Meadowlark Elementary. The meeting adjourned at 3:00pm.

Gary Lusin – Honorary Alum Award- 2013
Gary Lusin is this year’s Honorary Alum. Gary graduated from
Montana State University in 1972 with a B.S. in Physical
Education. He completed his certificate in Athletic Training at the
University of Montana in 1977 and earned a M.S. degree in
Physical Education with emphasis in exercise physiology in 1978.
Gary went on to earn a second B.S. degree in Physical Therapy
in 1981. He became a licensed physical therapist that same year
and returned to Bozeman to establish a physical therapy practice,
the Physical Therapy Center of Bozeman and Physical Therapy of
Belgrade. He and his wife, Mary Jo, currently own Advanced
Performance and Rehabilitation Services, Inc. Gary has
numerous professional certifications and licenses that speak to his intelligence and
capability in his field. Back in Bozeman, Gary quickly established himself in the
community as a volunteer. He put his volunteer spirit, intelligence and leadership skills
to work with many local and statewide organizations and boards. He has been involved
with the Exchange Club for over 25 years and held numerous roles within that group.
Gary reached out to assist injured student athletes at MSU, Bozeman High School and
Chief Joseph Middle School. As his children, Jeffrey and Jessica, entered high school
Gary became increasingly involved with the Bozeman School District and was elected
to the School Board in 2005. Gary played an integral role in the construction of 2 new
elementary schools, Chief Joseph Middle School and the renovation of BHS. Gary is
known for taking his role as Trustee seriously, continuously advocating for the students
and seeking the best opportunities for their education. He assumes leadership
responsibilities as a member of the board, making even the toughest decisions with
integrity and intelligence. His commitment to the school district and children was clearly
demonstrated when he agreed to come back to the role of Chairman of the Board only 2
years after serving in the role. The district needed his outstanding leadership qualities to
guide the school district during a time of transition to a new superintendent and two new
trustees and he willingly stepped up. He was unanimously sought after by his colleague
Trustees and endorsed by the Bozeman community. At the state level, Gary was able
to assist in crafting a bill that was approved by the 2011 legislature. The bill provided $2
million in funding and led to the formation of the Regional Education Service Agency in
Southwest Montana (RESA4U). RESA4U members in approximately 55 school districts
work cooperatively, using the funding generated through Gary’s excellent work and
leadership to find solutions to their problems and needs. His purposeful, calm and
effective leadership made it happen. Gary is currently serving as chair of the Board of
Trustees and is a District liaison to the Bozeman Schools Foundation Board. Gary’s
personal interests include hiking, snowshoeing, home projects, and visiting family.

High School District ACTION
ISSUE:
Shall the Board of Trustees modify the adopted High School Debt Service Budget?
FACTS:
1. On August 12, 2013 the Board of Trustees adopted the 2013-14 High School budget. That budget included a
Debt Service Fund budget of $3,017,447.
2. Bozeman has historically included small contingency amounts in our Debt Service budgets. Variances between
budgeted and actual bond payments are not uncommon, and contingencies allow us to effectively manage these
variances.
3. All unspent contingency amounts are reappropriated into the ensuing year budgets, so unspent budgets provide
dollar-for-dollar tax relief in the following year.
4. The adopted High School Debt Service budget included a $2,400 contingency amount (0.08% of the adopted
budget).
5. Recent correspondence from the Office of Public Instruction indicates we may no longer include contingencies in
our Debt Service budgets.
6. The Debt Service budget is partially funded by a $2,977,978.09, 16.64 mill local tax levy.
7. The Debt Service spending authority and corresponding tax must be reduced as a result of this change. The
change will reduce the High School tax levy by 0.01 mills, and save taxpayers almost $0.02 per $100,000 of
assessed market value.
8. Payment variances that our contingencies have managed in the past may now require a formal Budget
Amendment.
It is recommended the Board modify the High School Debt Service budget to $3,015,047.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES:
None.

ISSUE:
The Montana Department of Transportation Safe Routes to School Infrastructure Grant and Montana Department of
Commerce Quality Schools Planning Grants were submitted pending Board approval.
FACTS:
For the Safe Routes to School program, the grant application process is now part of the Montana Department of
Transportation - Transportation Alternatives Program (TA). A grant was submitted on September 5, 2013 in the
amount of $240,000. Full funding of the grant will have a 13.42% match requirement ($32,208) which is available
from Elementary Building Reserve funds. The schools included in the grant were:
• $118,000 Chief Joseph Middle School – Sidewalk construction and infill along Ferguson Ave., south
parking lot restriping, paving a dirt trail west of Lasso Ave. to provide connectivity to the school.
• $ 15,000 Hyalite Elementary – Paving of dirt trail from Ravalli to the school for ADA accessibility.
• $ 65,000 Morning Star Elementary – Ramp/sidewalk to connect cul-de-sac with upper bike rack area and
expansion of bike rack area plus purchase of additional bike racks
• $ 18,000 Whittier Elementary - ADA Crosswalk improvements to parking lot and selective sidewalk

For the Department of Commerce Quality Schools Planning Grant program, two applications were submitted as
follows:
• High School District – $25,000 Grant with a $6,250 match requirement to be funded with High School District
Building Reserve funds. Related to the Willson School Building, the planning grant will allow consultants to
evaluate the present and future functional needs of the District related to the available building space.
-68-
•
Renovations and repairs will be evaluated based upon this analysis, including incorporation of historical
facility condition inspections to determine potential upgrades, costs and alternatives.
Elementary District – $25,000 Grant with a $6,250 match requirement to be funded with Elementary District
Bond funds. Related to continued growth in the District, this grant will allow the District to hire professional
assistance to provide an in-depth analysis of future elementary and middle school locations in relation to the
projected community growth, existing infrastructure, assessment of existing District locations for future
elementary and middle schools and including evaluation of existing school district owned vacant school sites.
The Planning Grants will provide information to the Facilities Department and Long Range Facilities Planning
Committee to include as potential recommendations in the District’s Facilities Master Plan update.
It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the submittal of the $240,000 Safe Routes to School
Infrastructure Montana Department of Transportation and two $25,000 Montana Department of Commerce Quality
Schools grant applications.

ISSUE:
Shall the Board approve a new bus route #39?
FACTS:
1. State law requires the Board to approve all bus routes.
2. 216 students are currently registered for bus transportation in the Elk Grove subdivision. The District has
historically served Elk Grove with three bus routes:
• Route #13 transports students to Sacajawea Middle School. This school year, this route has averaged 48
riders per day.
• Route #24 transported students to Emily Dickinson and Meadowlark Elementaries. This school year, this
routes has averaged 76 riders per day.
• Route #28 transports K-12 students to CJMS and BHS. This school year, this route has averaged 52 riders
per day.
3. The new Route #39 will transport Elk Grove students to Emily Dickinson. 40 riders are currently registered to the
new route. Prior to this route addition, these students rode bus #24.
4. In conjunction with this change, Route #24 will only go to Meadowlark Elementary. It will no longer serve Emily
Dickinson.
It is recommended the board approve an additional 60 miles per day (30 miles per trip) for route #39 effective
September 23, 2013 to accommodate overcrowding.
DISCUSSION:
The estimated annual contract cost for this change is $41,722, which can be accomodated by the Elementary
Transportation Fund budgeted contingency. Of this amount, $15,449 will be financed by the State/County
Transportation Reimbursement. The remaining $26,273 will be paid from the local Transportation levy.

DISCUSSION:
Four K-12 committees studied best practices and collected curriculum documents from around the country. The Art
committee was comprised of six K-12 art or general classroom teachers. The Dance committee was comprised of
one 6-12 dance/German instructor and one K-5 classroom teacher. The Drama committee was comprised of one
principal, one K-5 teacher, one 6-8 drama instructor and one 9-12 drama instructor. The Music committee was
comprised of one K-5 general music, one 6-8 orchestra teacher, one 9-12 band instructor and one 6-12 choir
instructor.
Using the current BPS curriculum documents and the national standards, both former and new, the four committees
are examining, updating and re-formatting the curriculum documents. The working groups have conducted careful
examination of Bozeman’s Art, Dance, Drama and Music draft standards to ensure K - 12 vertical articulation.
Music and Arts standards are formatted and sequential. Dance and Drama Standards are sequential, and now need
to be formatted. The National Coalition for Core Arts Standards released a new draft of standards in July, 2013. The
committees plan to cross-reference the district documents to date with the new national standards.
Committee work is anticipated to be complete no later than March, 2014.
