5. REVISED MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE BOARD OF

EDUCATION, WAKE TECH, AND WAKE MED FOR THE OPERATION OF WECHS

The MOU between the Board, Wake Tech, and Wake Med for the operation of WECHS remains largely unchanged from its form in 2008, when the school system first entered into it. The term of the agreement is one year, with automatic renewals for one year terms thereafter unless any party gives notice to the other parties in writing by March 15 of the then current term of its intent to terminate the agreement at the end of the then current term. The changes to the agreement from the original version in 2008 reflect an attempt to address practical issues that have arisen in the three years that the MOU has been in place, including clarification in the agreement of how Wake Tech will treat WECHS students who fail to pay summer school tuition or other fees outlined in the agreement, the timeline under which the Board will submit requests for funding for WECHS to WakeMed (i.e., prior to February 1st of the upcoming school year), parking/carpool arrangements and procedures, and the procedures for use of classroom and office facilities at Wake Tech by WCPSS employees during the week and "after hours." Fiscal Implications: Refer to agreement. Savings: N/A. Recommendation for Action: Board approval is requested.

BOARD

6. WCPSS STUDENT ASSIGNMENT PLAN PROPOSAL

Staff will present the Student Assignment Plan Proposal. Fiscal Implications: Many components
and needs of the WCPSS Student Assignment Plan can be absorbed by existing personnel and
resources. However, there will be some transition costs that the district will have to absorb. These
include:
Outreach and marketing costs - materials printing and development, staff time, advertising, etc.
Software maintenance and licensing costs
Transportation costs (5-25 new buses, possible mobile registration vehicle, etc.)
Many of the larger costs - such as additional buses - are one time expenditures which will only be
required in the first year of the plan. Other costs - particularly staff time and software licensing - are
likely to be ongoing beyond the first year of the plan. Savings: N/A. Recommendation for Action:
Board approval is requested.

FINANCE

7. REDUCTION IN FORCE, TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT

The Transportation Department has begun the process of outsourcing its parts inventory
management in an effort to maximize the use of our limited funding while maintaining levels of
service. The resulting reorganization leads to a request for authority to conduct a reduction in force
within the Transportation Department. Board Policy 4430 has been closely followed.
Fiscal Implications: A reduction in salary and benefits will be offset by the contract to outsource
Transportation Department Parts Inventory management. Savings: Not Applicable.
Recommendation for Action: Board approval is requested.

8. REDUCTION IN FORCE, FACILITIES DEPARTMENT

A reorganization designed to maximize the use of our limited CIP 2006 Bond Funding is being
made. The reorganization leads to a request for authority to conduct a reduction in force within the
Facilities Department of Bond Funded Staff. Board Policy 4430 has been closely followed. Fiscal
Implications: A reduction in salary and benefits to the remaining CIP 2006 funding will be made.
Savings: Not Applicable. Recommendation for Action: Board approval is requested.
