September 5, 2018 at 6:30 PM - Regular Board of Education Meeting

Rationale: 

Please note the personnel report as you will find updated employee information reflected in it.  

Please take note of the enrollment report as we have had some changes in enrollment since June. In-house enrollment is now 1252.

I will report on the opening of school including our Convocation and professional development days.

As a reminder, if you have not done so already, please contact Jeanne to sign up for the annual CABE-CAPSS convention on November 16-17, 2018.

Teacher negotiations begin in October.  We have tentative dates for meetings scheduled.  The HR committee will meet to review proposals once they are complete.  I will notify committee members of that meeting.

The installation of the oil tank at Mile Creek has begun.  I will update the Board on that project.

As the first few days of school occurred during a heat wave, I wanted the Board to be aware of an email I received from a veteran middle school teacher.  She wrote, "Teaching / learning without our air conditioners in the middle school would have been impossible today (and tomorrow).   Thanks again for investing in them. Super cool ?? (see what I did there ;)"  I want to thank you for supporting this project two years ago.  It has made a tremendous difference in our school environments.

  

Rationale:  Mrs. McCalla will provide a year to date budget status report as well as a contingency fund report.

Rationale:  Melissa will provide information on standard costs of outplacements and the process by which students are outplaced.

Rationale:  As discussed at our last meeting, the administrative team has developed the annual district goals based on feedback from the Board at our previous meeting.  I will review these goals and recommend their approval.

Rationale: 

This is the last purchase to complete the Middle School cafeteria improvement project. The wall between the cafeteria and kitchen servery has been expanded to improve student access to food services. It is expected that this will reduce waiting time.

Originally the purchase and installation of these doors was part of the contract to create the larger opening. However, buying directly from Overhead Door reduces purchase cost by eliminating contractor mark up.

Overhead Door products are supplied through their franchises so there is no advantage to bidding.

Rationale: 

Background:  The existing baseball infield is scheduled for renovation as part of this year’s facility project budget. Renovation will include reestablishing all of the infield elevation grades, replacing the infield mix, reseeding the infield and updating the warning track.

This project was publicly bid. Sports Turf Specialties was the lowest bidder. They have successfully performed work for the school district in the past.
