Please note the personnel report as you will find updated employee information reflected in it.
Please take note of the January enrollment report. We have a total of 1,281 students (in-house) enrolled. As a part of our budget development process and in terms of long range planning, we have updated our staffing proposals based on the current and projected enrollments. As a reminder, please clear your schedule for the next three Wednesday evenings. We have our annual budget workshops beginning next week when the principals will present their school budgets. I have attached the budget calendar as a reminder of the schedule for the next couple of months.

VII.A. Board of Education Meeting Schedule for 2018-2019
Speaker(s):
Ian Neviaser
Rationale:
The Board of Education meeting schedule for the 2018-2019 school year is enclosed. The schedule remains the same as it has been with meetings scheduled for the first Wednesday of each month. This schedule must be posted in the town halls this month and, therefore, requires Board action for approval to post.

VII.B. Solar Power Purchase Agreement
Speaker(s):
Rick Goulding
Rationale:
We have been having discussions with Greenskies for a number of years regarding the installation of solar panels on all of our buildings. This has the potential to save the district about 100,000 dollars per year over the next 20-30 years. As such, we are recommending the Board waive the public bidding process and authorize the Superintendent to negotiate a contract with Greenskies for the installation of solar panels on all campuses with the idea that this project will take place this summer.

VII.D. HVAC Controls Service Contract
Speaker(s):
John Rhodes
Rationale:
Our school district HVAC controls are based on a common platform which is centrally controlled. This was part of an HVAC controls upgrade started during the High School building project and then extending to our other four schools. The design, installation and programming was completed by CT Controls. The school district has contracted all of the HVAC controls firms in Connecticut who were qualified to work on our systems. Due to poor performance, all were terminated. In fact, CT Controls completed the High School controls after the first contractor failed to complete the project. It is recommended that CT Controls be contracted to continue servicing our school district HVAC controls based on their performance and our past experience with qualified HVAC contractors.
