June 10, 2024 at 6:00 PM - Regular Board Meeting

Rationale:  It is 6:00 PM and I now call to order the Crete Public Schools Board of Education Meeting.  This is the June 2024 regular meeting. Notice of this meeting has been advertised in the Crete Newspaper, which is the District's designated method of giving notice of these meetings.

We want those in attendance to know that copies of the Open Meetings Act are available at the entrance to the Board Room. If anyone in attendance is interested in addressing our Board, you are welcome to do so. We simply request that you complete the appropriate form and turn it in to us now so that you may be recognized during the Public Forum part of our meeting. These forms are also located by the entry doors of this room.

Ms. Banos will you please call the roll.

Rationale:  The mission of Crete Public Schools, a diverse community of engaged individuals committed to the success of all, is to ensure learners have the character, knowledge, and skills to be respectful and productive members of a global society.  Crete Public Schools will cultivate a culture where all are challenged, empowered, and supported to reach their maximum potential.

Rationale:  This brings us to the Public Forum part of our meeting. During the Public Forum:

1. Each individual addressing the Board will be allowed 5 minutes. The Board of Education has the prerogative to limit speaking to 3 minutes when there are three or more patrons to allow all speakers an opportunity to address the Board in a timely manner.
2. We will not engage in dialogue with patrons presenting to the Board.
3. The Board president and superintendent will identify staff to follow-up on the information requested from patrons.
4. The Board president may share a statement on behalf of the Board when addressing a major issue in the district.

Is there anyone here that would like to address the Board during the Public Forum?

Rationale:  This is the Agenda as published.  Would anyone like to remove any items or add any items to the Agenda?

Rationale:  The first item on the agenda tonight is the Consent Agenda.  The Consent Agenda to be approved is as follows: Minutes from the Previous Month's Meeting, Claims as Submitted, Staff Adjustments as Submitted, Treasurer's Report as Submitted, and Policy First Read.

Rationale:  Dr. McDowell will give his report.

Rationale:  The high school boys basketball team will be taking 3 teams (varsity, jv, freshman) to Denver to compete in the Gold Crown Team Camp; leave June 12, return 15.  Each team will play 7 or 8 games over 3 days.  This will give our teams an opportunity to compete against teams they normally would not play.  It will also be an opportunity for the team to spend time together and bond. 

We will be taking 26 players and 5 coaches.  Tony Siske, Mark Sand, Max Hayes, Ty Martinsen and Austin Luger.  

The sponsors will pay for their own meals and any activities that we do.  We are hoping to go to a Rockies game. 

Students were asked to pay $225 for the trip to cover entry fee ($700 per team), transportation, and hotel.  Students will pay for their own meals and activities.  If students can not afford to pay, the cost will come out of our fundraising account and they can sign up for fundraising opportunities (help with youth camp, slamma jamma, concessions, ets). 

Rationale:  The out-of-state request is attached.

Rationale:  For the purchase of two activity buses.

Rationale:  To approve EnVisions Math as the new middle school math resource.

Rationale:  Is there a need for Executive Session?

Rationale:  Is there any Old Business to be discussed?

Rationale:  The next BOE working session will be on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, in the Zoom Room at the Cardinal Welcome Center.

The next BOE regular meeting will be on Monday, July, 8, 2024, in the Board Room at the Cardinal Welcome Center.
