Discussion:  Mrs. Sachariason and the elementary team who completed the site visit to Owatonna Public Schools have indicated to Mr. McKittrick the desire to move forward with the implementation of Life Space Crisis Intervention training and implementation.  

This pilot program will be implemented on a voluntary basis at Ramsey Elementary School.  We anticipate approximately 20 staff members attending this training on August 1-5 and will begin the implementation of Teach to Heal and LSCI in the 2022-2023 school year.  As part of this program, we will move one support staff member to the role of behavior interventionist and utilize ESSER III funds to support the position.  To maintain budget neutrality, the position reassigned will not be filled.

This exciting process is a paradigm shift in working with trauma impacted students, and the team is excited about getting this process up and running.

This is informational only and no action is being asked for at this time.

Discussion:  Mr. McKittrick will provide an update on the current staffing of these departments and offer future considerations.

Discussion:  At the April regular board meeting, the school board took action to accept the proposal of Sparta Inc. dba MAAC and directed the superintendent to execute a purchase agreement.  Kennedy and Graven, school attorneys, have reviewed the attached purchase agreement and it has been agreed to by Sparta Inc.  Upon board approval of the purchase agreement, a firm closing date will be established.

Sparta Inc has agreed to allow the district time, even after closing, to get any wanted materials, equipment, etc... out of the building.  They will begin the first step of deconstruction, which is the removal of all debris shortly after closing, and the deconstruction will be completed prior to December 31, 2022.

This action is recommended by Mr. Mckittrick and the Facilities Committee

Discussion:  Vera Weber will lead the discussion on Chapter 25: Character.
