Fort Scott Community College’s John Deere Technical program has received a prestigious award. During the fiscal year of 2018-2019, FSCC’s John Deere Tech. program was evaluated on several levels to achieve top rankings of the “College of Tomorrow” award. This award is judged on everything from instructor development, internships, and facility image to even scholarships and safety.
The point system added up to a total of 254 points and three different levels; bronze, gold, and platinum. Out of the 254 points, FSCC John Deere Tech. scored 249 points, which obtains the platinum award. Along with a fancy crystal trophy and jacket, platinum winners are awarded scholarship money and funds to help with continued instructor development.
“Many hours of work and attention to detail have went into achieving this award. We strive to provide a great student learning environment. My main goal as an instructor is to help my students improve into better technicians so they will succeed in their career”, says Dale Griffiths, FSCC John Deere instructor.
Stakes are higher for the 2019-2020 fiscal year with some changes made to the criteria and raising the point system to 299. FSCC John Deere Tech. program is one of 16 other programs across the nation, but they plan to continue to win platinum and provide the best for the program.
“It was very exciting earning this award. This is the first time FSCC has earned this award, and I am determined this won’t be the last. Dale and I are always making improvements to classes, our training, and the facility. This award didn’t come easy, nor will future awards”, says Kent Aikin, FSCC John Deere instructor.

Workers are needed across the state to fill workforce needs.
The Kansas State Board of Education, working with Kansas legislators, are providing the opportunity for juniors in high school, including Fort Scott, to take assessments to help fill those workforce needs.
The title of the program is ACT Work Ready Community and is paid for by Kansas legislators in collaboration with the state board of education.
Students are offered two assessments for the program and can either take the ACT, or ACT WorkKeys, or both.
The program facilitators are hoping to fill job vacancies in Bourbon County.
“An opportunity was seen to provide a connection for local Bourbon County employers to gain understanding of the ACT and the ACT WorkKeys assessment to help fill and build their workforce,” USD 234 Superintendent Ted Hessong said. “The opportunity for juniors to take the ACT assessments will continue this school year and for years to come.”
A career readiness certificate can be earned, after taking an assessment, which will help to evaluate future employees for the workforce skills needed.
The program allows employers to use it as a tool to see if the skills set will work for their need.
“ACT Work Ready Community is a program to provide Bourbon County the distinction of a county where the employers recognize the ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate earned upon completion of taking the ACT WorkKeys assessment, as a tool to evaluate future employees,” Hessong said.
The basis of the certification: current and future workers earn the certificate and the employers recognize the credential.
“Employers can be the fuel to drive successful state and county Work Ready Communities initiatives simply by recognizing the ACT® WorkKeys® National Career Readiness Certificate®. And in doing so, they will have a more qualified workforce ready to fill their jobs,” according to the ACT Work Ready Communities website.
Fort Scott Community College classes started Aug. 19, but a few of the renovations and additions are not quite finished.
FSCC instructor Sarah Sutton said, “The goal is to have everything completed by the end of September for the (FSCC) Centennial Celebration.” Sutton teaches in Burris Hall.
Burris Hall has an additional building space, while the existing building was remodeled.
Sample drilling for the project site began last June 2018, and the contract was let out for bid in February 2019, according to info from Darlene Wood, assistant to the president.
Actual construction began in late May 2019, Crossland Construction Foreman Cory Spear, said.
“We are down to the punch list,” Spear said. “We are awaiting the architects, Hight Jackson, with a list of corrective actions, things that need to be fixed.”
Burris Hall is the agriculture department of the campus. Three to four classrooms are housed here, as well as offices for the instructors.
There is also a large room in the addition with a kitchenette off to one side.
“This room can be used for a classroom if needed,” Wood said. “It can also be scheduled for meetings on campus or for community events.”
“The money was all donated by the estates of Chester Boileau and Lonnie Cleavers,” FSCC President Alysia Johnston said. “We chose to add on and remodel the agriculture building to honor their legacies, as agriculture was their livelihood.” The amount was $930,000.
Fort Scott Community College Greyhounds continue with academic awesomeness! Over 200 students made it on either the Honor Roll list (GPA 3.5-3.74), Vice President’s list (GPA 3.75-3.99), or President’s list (GPA 4.0+) for the spring 2019 semester!
“The Fort Scott Community College Administration and Faculty
are extremely proud of our students. Congratulations on your outstanding academic achievement during the spring 2019 semester”, says VP of Student Services, Janet Fancher.
FSCC students, keep up the hard work and dedication. We cannot wait to see what our centennial class has to offer in the fall of 2019!!
Congrats Greyhounds!!!

BACKGROUND: CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASE OF SCORER’S TABLE
BACKGROUND: Fort Scott Community College is seeking permission to purchase a new scorer’s table for the gym. The table will be featured at all basketball and volleyball games and will be a great addition to Arnold Arena. The old tables were in very rough shape and were no longer usable. Another great feature of the new tables is that they have the ability to present sponsors during the game and halftime through the video screen. This will give the athletic department the ability to market local companies during the future seasons.
Included are three quotes:
Daktronics $19,950.00
Nevco $18,820.43
Athco $16,300.00
The scorer’s table will be purchased from gate receipts funds.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommendation of administration that the quote from Daktronics be accepted due to the capabilities of the Daktronics table.

CONSIDERATION OF ATHLETIC INSURANCE AND CATASTROPHIC INJURY INSURANCE
BACKGROUND: NJCAA requires affiliated programs to provide athletic insurance and catastrophic injury/accident coverage. During the last 4 months Tom Havron, Marci Meyers and Julie Eichenberger have worked with three different agents to receive the best quotes possible for the athletic department. The challenge has been that our athletic injury claims the past two years have increased.
We have asked for information regarding injury claims, visited the possibility of requiring all athletes to purchase insurance if they cannot provide proof of primary insurance, and how each agent can help us manage our claims expense going forward.
Each agent was given the same information regarding deductibles, claim experience, benefit period, and maximum claim payout, as well as checked references if the agent was unknown to us.
Attached is summarized information regarding quoted prices from each agent and their policy and experience.
RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of administration to accept the athletic insurance quote of $183,183 and catastrophic injury / accident coverage quote of $16,500 from Borden/Perlman

CONSIDERATION OF BIDS FOR ARNOLD ARENA SOUTH PEN COVER
BACKGROUND: In March FSCC received a grant from Timken Foundation for upgrades to Arnold Arena rodeo area. This grant covered several different items that needed to be addressed including ADA parking/unloading, ADA seating, ADA accessibility to bathroom facilities and a concession stand. Also included were monies for a cover over the south pens, additional lighting and updates to man doors and garage doors as monies allowed. Timken’s first concern was for ADA accessibility.
Taking Timken’s lead on ADA accessibility we have included on the north side a pad for ADA unloading on the exterior and then poured concrete in the interior at the North end of the seating that allows for ADA access to seating, bathroom facilities close by and currently we are working on a small concession stand area on the north end. The lighting has also been updated to LED. All of this was completed before the spring 2019 rodeo.
With the remaining grant monies we are ready to start work on the cover for the south pens. This will provide our contestants cover during bad weather. A request for proposal was published in the Fort Scott Tribune with a deadline of June 18th. Receiving no proposals from our notice we have asked for input and references from Coach Cross and others of someone who might be interested.
The following two quotes included in the following pages were received upon contacting them:
H & M Construction $39,800
Koehn Building Systems, LLC $49,672
Both individuals come highly recommended.
RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of administration to accept the quote from H&M Construction for $39,800

CONSIDERATION OF SECURITY/SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM BIDS
BACKGROUND: FSCC currently has a security/surveillance system with approximately 48 cameras in operation in Greyhound and Boileau Halls to monitor the property and safety of the students. This surveillance system was installed sometime before 2010. Due to hardware and software limitations, changes in technology and the difficulties obtaining support its original contracted installer; it no longer meets the growing needs for maintaining a level of surveillance that is adequate for effective campus security.
As part of the ongoing push to upgrade technology around campus, IT worked with Tom Havron to work on updating the cameras on campus to improve overall campus safety and security. While the main focus of the project was the cameras, it was also intended to be part of a campus-wide security upgrade. Parts of this upgrade would include new cameras and updated access control for buildings. It also included new areas of campus that were previously not covered by cameras.
A Request for Proposal was created that listed out the areas that we wanted to be covered by cameras as well as requesting information from the vendors about related systems for access-control. We requested solutions for on-premise and cloud-hosted recording. Areas requested were Greyhound Lodge (Bids 1A and 1B), Greyhound and Boileau Hall (Bids 2A and 2B), and other parts of campus including Ellis Fine Arts and Bailey Hall (Bids 3A and 3B).
We published the notification of the request and sent it out by email for proposals to provide multiple solutions for this project on June 13, 2019, to ten vendors and closed the bidding after extending the deadline to June 24, 2019, at 3:00 PM (CST). We had a total of seven solution providers participate, as indicated in Table 1.

APPROVAL OF REVISED NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT WITH FSCAPE
BACKGROUND: When the 2018-2020 Negotiated Agreement was approved, the 2019-2020 salary increase was to be one step and column movement. The agreement stated that contract negotiations would be re-opened if the state operating grant was increased $35,000 or more for the 2019-2020 academic year. FSCC is receiving just over $35,000 additional in state operating funds, so the negotiating team re-convened for the sole purpose of increasing base salary for the upcoming academic year. The negotiating team agreed to a $300 increase to the base, and FSCAPE has ratified the agreement.
RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation that the Board approve the revised Negotiated Agreement with FSCAPE.

Fort Scott Community College was established on the second floor of the Fort Scott High School in 1919. In 1967, FSCC rehoused onto 150-acres of land in what was called the Academic Building with 581 students enrolled. FSCC continued to expand, adding buildings throughout the years as enrollment numbers grew. In 2011, the Academic Building was renamed to Bailey Hall after Robert and Sylvia Bailey, both former Greyhounds.
Bailey Hall, being the original and oldest building on campus, is due for some renovations and FSCC plans to start putting a plan in action after a generous contribution from Robert and Sylvia Bailey who also encourage other to contribute to the cause:
“We feel strongly that those of us who are financially able should contribute to FSCC, a ‘jewel’ that is making a critical impact on the Fort Scott and Bourbon County economy. FSCC permits large numbers of young people to build the skills required to get good paying jobs immediately. And for those who want a four-year degree, FSCC enables students to fulfill the first two years of college study at a fraction of the cost of four-year institutions. Students simply do not need to run up huge debts to get a good education. FSCC is the biggest bargain in higher education. I found in my own career that my first two years at FSCC were never a handicap and may well have served as an advantage to this poor Garland farm boy”, says Robert Bailey.
Funds will be placed in reserves until enough funds are accumulated for the full renovation project of Bailey Hall.
“The generous gift from our faithful supporters, Robert and Sylvia Bailey, has a huge impact on our students by providing the funds for a quality educational environment. We are very humbled to have Bob and Sylvia as FSCC alumni, and we will work hard to honor their donation by strategically using the funds to improve our teaching and learning environment”, says President of FSCC, Alysia Johnston.
