More Information: 

This is the public’s opportunity to speak to items on the agenda. This is also the public’s opportunity to speak to other non-agenda topics concerning the school district - since it is not an agenda item the board cannot discuss or take action on the matter at this time. To be recognized, all participants must complete the Request to Address the Milford Board of Education Form.  The District has established separate complaint procedures for any complaints, including complaints and concerns against individual employees.  As such, the Board requests that this complaint process be followed before discussion with the Board takes place.  Thank you for your participation.

More Information: 

Open discussion as needed.

More Information:  We will be providing an instructional report during the summer each year.  There are several annual reporting requirements required by statute, and we have moved the required information into one report in order to make the process more efficient.  I will briefly review the attached information at the board meeting and can address any questions.

More Information:  The attached documents show the current mileage on the school-owned vehicles as well as the miles for each purpose (activity, route, etc.).  This is a report only so no action is required.

More Information:  Attached is an updated document for each of the funds.  The document shows the anticipated expenditures and revenue for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 school years.  Also included are anticipated levies and tax requests for the 2026-27 school year.

More Information:  3061 - We send electronic payments through our bank, such as payroll direct deposits and vendor payments, so we are an ACH Originator under NACHA Operating Rules. We are now required to have this new policy.

4019 — School districts are statutorily required to have safety committees. The law used to require those committee members to be selected through collective bargaining. That requirement has been removed, though it is a permissible method. KSB recommends not bargaining the committee membership and instead appointing members. Additionally, the statute requires employees serving on safety committees be paid their "regular hourly wage" for safety committee work. Since we have our safety committee meet during the regular workday, this doesn't apply.

4065 - New AI Policy for Staff

5054 - Annual review (required)

6038 - New AI Policy for Students
 

More Information:  This is an annual hearing as outlined in Nebraska statute 79-2,134.  This hearing is an opportunity to gather input on the district student fees. 

After the public has had an opportunity to gather input, the board can take action on the updated policy to reflect updated meal prices and other proposed changes to the student fees.

More Information:  These handbooks are updated by KSB to match the policy updates.

More Information:  I recommend keeping gate prices the same for next school year.

More Information:  As part of the superintendent pay transparency act, the employment contract for the superintendent is on the agenda for board approval.  The contract has also been posted on the district website.
