Rationale:  State statute requires that the board hold a public hearing on this policy to discuss, consider, and receive input, and then either alter and adopt the revised policy or reaffirm the policy as written.  

Rationale:  Statutes require that there be a public hearing each year concerning the revenues under student fees and any policy revisions.  The President will call for a motion to open the hearing on Student Fees.  We will present any appropriate information and obtain any public comment after which the President will close the hearing and move on to the next item, approval of revised policy.  

Rationale: 

It is requested that the Board waive the two-reading requirement a provided in Board Policy 85E and approve the policy and administrative regulations after one reading.  This is requested in order to publish the policy as a part of the handbooks rather than as an addendum.  

Rationale: 

Over the past several months, Fremont Public Schools has been working with D.A. Davidson to review and evaluate potential savings that would be realized by refinancing our current Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, Series 2010 in an effort to take advantage of the current low interest rates and to realize savings over the life of the bonds.  

Full text of Bond Resolution, as prepared by bond counsel, is attached.

We are recommending:

• RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF NOT TO EXCEED $13,300,000 OF LIMITED TAX GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS, SERIES 2019, FOR THE PURPOSE OF REFINANCING THE DISTRICT’S SERIES 2010 LIMITED TAX BUILD AMERICA BONDS IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE INTEREST COST SAVINGS 

Rationale:  Each year the Board of Education needs to authorize a representative of the District to sign State and Federal Grant Assurances.  Approval of the Superintendent as the authorized representative to sign State and Federal Grant Assurances is requested for the 2019-2020 school year.  

Rationale:  It is the recommendation of the Administration to approve the irrigation of the nine acre parcel in Johnson Park Subdivision North of the Middle School.  Attached are pricing proposals received from Webster Well, Fremont Electric and Hurst Lawn and Irrigation to complete this phase of the project.  There is also attached a master plan for further development of the site.  The master is necessary for locating the needed utilities in order to provide the irrigation.
