Grieve, Director of Education/ Secretary of the Board Michael E. Clarke, Superintendent of Financial Services Janice E. Sargent, Management, Policy and Planning Advisor PURPOSE: To finalize a plan of action for the Budget 2001 -02 process, and a Board/ Committee schedule for September to December 2000 to accommodate this process. BACKGROUND: 1. Report 00-159 outlining a proposed process and Board /Committee schedule was submitted to the Board on 4 July 2000. At this meeting, the Board decided to defer consideration of the Chairs' Committee recommendations contained in this report to the 28 August Board meeting. STATUS: 2. Attached as Annex 1- Option 1 is the proposed plan of action and schedule of meetings for the Budget 2001 -02 process and for Board /Committee meetings as recommended to the Board on 4 July. The proposed calendar has been amended in accordance with the Board decision of that date to establish a calendar for September following the historical pattern of Board and Committee meetings. Two (W proposed Special Purpose (Budget) Committee meetings have been added to the September calendar. 0 3. A suggestion was subsequently received from the Chair of the Business Services Committee that an alternate plan be developed to add two Committee of the Whole (COW) (Budget) meetings per month to the regular schedule of monthly Board and Standing Committee meetings. A calendar illustrating this proposed schedule is attached as Annex 2 - Option 2. 4. An additional possibility (attached as Annex 3 - Option 3) would be to combine the Human Resources and Business Services Committee meetings (the most frequently cancelled last year for lack of business) on the first Monday of the month, leaving the second Wednesday (which is normally reserved for Business Services) free, either for one of two COW (Budget) meetings per month (see Option 3a below) or for one of two Special Purpose (Budget) Committee meetings per month (see Option 3 b) below). 5. The following table provides a brief summary of anticipated advantages and disadvantages of each of these options: Option Advantages Disadvantages Option 1: • Special Purpose (Budget) • would enhance 2001 -02 budget process Committee twice /month for all stakeholders: fuller information/ understanding earlier in the year, broader -based input at budget - building stage • requires quorum of 4 or 5 trustees only • COW (Public) meeting • offers efficient use of meeting times: for recommendations to be made by twice /month replaces while adding two Special Purpose COW (Public) to Board, would present four Standing (Budget) + two COW (Public) meetings, require quorum of 7 trustees at two Committee suspends on interim basis four Standing additional meetings per month meetings /month for an Cttee meetings = same as present total of interim period 6 Board/Cttee meetings per month (continued on next page) lb Option 2: • COW(Budget) meetings twice per month • retain four Standing Committee meetings per month Option 3 a: • COW (Budget) meetings twice per month • combine HR and Business Services on first Monday, for a total of four Standing Committees on three evenings/ month Option 3b: • Special Purpose (Budget) Committee twice per month • combine HR and Business Services on first Monday, for a total of four Standing Committees on three evenings/ month would improve flow of Board business through COW (Public), with prompt attention to issues and a more global perspective would improve use of Committee time due to full quorum at COW (Public) meetings should expedite decision - making at following week's Board meeting, with less debate /re- debate of matters presently dealt with in four Standing Committee meetings, each of which may be attended by few trustees • would enhance 2001 -02 budget process for all stakeholders: fuller information / understanding earlier in the year, broader -based input at budget - building stage would enhance 2001 -02 budget process for all stakeholders: fuller information /understanding earlier in the year, broader -based input at budget - building stage would enhance 2001 -02 budget process for all stakeholders: fuller information/ understanding earlier in the year, broader -based input at budget - building stage because quorum of 4 or 5 trustees, would not increase total number of meetings per month requiring full Board quorum • would require quorum of 7 trustees at Budget meetings during a period when budget recommendations are not under consideration • would add two meeting nights per month to the schedule, for a total of four per month requiring quorum of 7, plus four Standing Committee meetings as at present = total of 8 Board/Committee meeting nights per month, 4 with quorum of 7 • would not improve flow of Board business or use of Standing Committee time • would require quorum of 7 trustees at Budget meetings during a period when budget recommendations are not under consideration • would add one meeting night per month to the schedule, for a total of four per month requiring quorum of 7, plus three Standing Committee nights, one with 2 meetings = total of 7 Board/Committee meeting nights per month, 4 with quorum of 7 • would not improve flow of Board business or use of Standing Committee time would add one meeting night per month to the schedule, for a total of two requiring quorum of 7, plus two Special Purpose (Budget) meetings requiring 4 or 5 trustees, and three Standing Committee nights, one with two meetings = total 7 Board/ Committee meeting nights per month would not improve flow of Board business or use of Standine Committee time /7. 6. On balance, Director's Council continues to recommend, as the most effective alternative, Option 1 as outlined in Annex 1 attached. Minor changes have been made to these recommendations as reproduced below, in order to a) take into consideration the Board motion to maintain the usual calendar for September (with proposed additions as shown), and b) allow (W time following approval of the fall calendar for development of a proposed calendar for the January — April 2001 period, to be brought to the Board for approval on 11 September 2000. RECOMMENDATIONS: THAT: A. the Plan of Action for the 2001 -02 Budget Process attached as Annex 1— Appendix A be approved; B. a Special Purpose (Budget) Committee be established for 2000-01, with terms of reference and reporting relationship as outlined in this report, with a trustee of the Board as Chair, and with membership to include the Chair, Vice - Chair, and Chair of each Standing Committee (five) plus up to three additional trustees elected to serve on this Committee; C. the quorum for the Committee be four (if seven trustee members) or five (if eight members), and, in accordance with the Board By -laws, all trustees in attendance at the meeting be entitled to make motions and to vote; D. the following groups and organizations, which have non - voting representative status at Standing Committees and COW (Budget) meetings as per Board Policy P.010.GOV, be invited to name a representative to the Special Purpose (Budget) Committee in September 2000: Ottawa - Carleton Assembly of School Councils (OCASC) Ottawa - Carleton Student Presidents' Council (OCSPC) Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF) Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ottawa - Carleton (OCETF) Ottawa - Carleton Secondary School Administrators' Network (OCSSAN) Ottawa- Carleton Elementary Principals' Association (OCEPA) Ottawa - Carleton Elementary Vice - Principals' Association (OCEVPA) Administrative and Support Groups (one representative collectively on the most appropriate Committee as determined by the groups); and the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAL) and OCDSB student trustees also be invited to each name a non - voting representative to this Committee; E. the schedule of dates for Special Purpose (Budget) Committee meetings from September to December 2000 (Annex 1- Appendix B) be approved; F. a Standing Committee of the Whole (Public) structure be approved for October 2000 to the end of March 2001. G. the amended Board Calendar, including Board, Standing Committee of the Whole (Public) and Special Purpose (Budget) Committee meetings to December 2000, attached as Annex 1- Appendix C, be approved; and H. a proposed calendar for January — April 2001, in accordance with the Plan of Action for the 2001 -02 Budget Process, be brought for approval to the Board on 11 September 2000. James P. Grieve Director of Education/ Secretary of the Board Michael E. Clarke Superintendent of Financial Services An hex i - OPKM 1 IF OTTAWA-CARLETON DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD 4 July 2000 Report No. 00 -159 to the Board (as recommended by Chairs' Committee on 28 June 2000) Re. Proposed Budget 2001 -02 Process and Board/Committee Schedule for 2000 -01 ORIGINATORS: James P. Grieve, Director of Education/ Secretary of the Board Michael E. Clarke, Superintendent of Financial Services Janice E. Sargent, Management, Policy and Planning Advisor PURPOSE: To establish a plan of action and timelines for a revised Budget 2001 -02 process, and to propose an amended schedule for Board and Committee meetings for 2000 -01. BACKGROUND: 1. While our Board was successful in approving the 2000 -01 Budget on 28 March 2000, there remain acknowledged areas for future improvement. 2. Director's Council has examined the past two years of experience with a view to improving the process of building the OCDSB budget for 2001 -02. As trustees are aware, this budget will be particularly challenging as it marks the end of provincial mitigation funding to the OCDSB. 3. It would be desirable for the very intensive series of meetings which occurred in February-March 2000 to take place over a more extended period, beginning in September 2000. Fuller information and opportunities for input could be provided to trustees and groups with non - voting representation to the Board during a series of meetings to be held over this extended period. 4. Recognizing that the addition of a series of meetings designed to reach consensus on a proposed budget impacts on the present meeting schedule, Director's Council has also examined the current Board and Committee calendar with a view to proposing a new interim structure and schedule that can be implemented without change to the current Board By -laws. STATUS: 5. Attached as Appendix A is a proposed plan of action for the Budget 2001 -02 process. This plan includes formation of a Special Purpose (Budget) Committee to be established by the Board, to be convened in September 2000, to be chaired by a trustee, and to include participation by trustees and non - voting representatives over the period from September 2000 to April 2001 as outlined in item 8. below. According to the Board By -laws: 18.0 - The Board may establish by resolution such Standing, Special Purpose and Ad Hoc Committees as it deems appropriate or as required under legislation or through contractual obligations, and subject to any relevant legislation or contract; 18.1 determine their composition and the manner of selecting Chairs and members; 18.2 fix their terms of reference and reporting relationships; 18.3 alter their composition, terms of reference and reporting relationships, as it may deem appropriate from time to time; 6. Attached as Appendix B is a proposed outline of Special Purpose (Budget) Committee meetings for the period from September through December 2000. The proposed terms of reference and reporting relationship for this committee are included in the chart under item 8 below. 7. It should be noted that the schedule takes into account the need to orient any new trustees who may be elected in November, as part of a series of training sessions to be held at that time. A comprehensive package of materials would be provided to new Board members shortly following their election, and such key areas for review as Facilities and Transportation, Program, Day School Regular and Special Education would, if agreed by the Special Purpose (Budget) Committee at its initial meeting of 19 September, be scheduled following the election. 8. Attached as Appendix C is a proposed amended Board and Committee meeting calendar for the period from September through December 2000. This calendar is designed to accommodate the series of Special Purpose (Budget) Committee meetings through the fall while replacing the present four Standing Committee meetings with two 'general-purpose' Standing Committee of the Whole meetings per month, and amending the current schedule for this period as follows: 1q. Current Meetings Change Meeting Pattern* BOARD 2 Monday if required 2nd and 4' Monday of the 4 I Monday every month month 7:00 pm. in camera 8:00 p.m. public Standing Committees Standing Committee of the Whole 1' and 3rd Monday of the (HR, Business, (Public) month Education, Chairs') (+ in camera sessions as required) 7:00 p.m. • to be chaired by Vice -Chair of the Board, with the suggestion that the V -C chair one meeting per month, and rotate chairing of the second among the three Standing Committee chairs • agenda preparation to be co- ordinated by Vice -Chair in consultation with Standing Committee Chairs • quorum: 7 trustee members • recommendations to the Board - Special Purpose (Budget) Committee Normally twice monthly on • to be established by Board resolution Tuesday or Wednesday in accordance with current By -laws 7:00 p.m. • to be chaired by a trustee of the Board • to include the Chair and Vice -chair of the Board plus three elected Standing Committee Chairs, with up to three trustees 'at large' to be elected by the Board • quorum: 4 (if 7 trustee members) or 5 (if 8 trustee members) • any trustee attending may vote • non - voting representatives to be invited to attend and participate • provides input to staff for consideration in developing staff - recommended budget for 2001 -02 to Committee of the Whole (Budget) in mid -March 2001 "This pattern is altered on occasion to accommodate statutory holidays and to respect identified holy days, as at present. 9. Rationale This proposal is offered with the purpose of: a) improving the flow of Board business, in particular when decisions are time- sensitive The amended schedule, which essentially incorporates the present four Standing Committee meetings per month into two 'general- purpose' Standing Committee of the Whole meetings, would offer the following advantages: • ensure prompt attention to issues (at present, some issues are not dealt with for three to four weeks following a Committee meeting); • give trustees a better opportunity to obtain feedback on the issues; • reduce the 'silo effect' inherent in the present committee system. The twice - monthly 'general - purpose' Standing COWs would facilitate a more global perspective on issues that could potentially affect more than one area (for example, implications of a transportation decision for program and enrolment in a particular school or schools); b) providing better opportunities for discussion and debate in Committee, with more trustee members present The present four standing committee meetings per month (some of which have been cancelled for lack of agenda items) are generally attended by few trustees. As a result, items are frequently re- debated at length at Board. c) improving the effectiveness and efficiency of Board decision - making Twice monthly Standing COW meetings with a majority of trustees present should result in more expeditious decision- making at Board meetings.

Final debate at COW (Budget) would be based on fuller understanding of the issues gained during the preceding months, and would be much abbreviated compared to the past two years. 10. Assuming this new process and amended calendar are approved, an equivalmt Board calendar will be developed for the period from January through April 2001, to conclude with approval of Budget 2001 -02 by early April 2001, in time for staffing of schools for September 2001. 11.
