September 9, 2024 at 7:00 PM - Sutherland Public School District 55

Rationale:  Both students have completed all the required courses to graduate midterm, and both desire to begin higher education right after graduation from High School.  

Destaney Mills
Taylor Drueke

Rationale:  Coverage for the atrium windows. You have examples of what the two coverings would look like. I am wondering what the people that graduated from Sutherland will think if the board decides to change what some perceive as an icon of this school. I will put this in the form of a motion, but I don't think it should be done. It shines directly into the commons for an hour in the sunny mornings, but after that it just lets a lot of light into the commons area.

Rationale:  Brett Schmidt will be our SRO. His start date is unknown as yet. I am waiting to hear back from Sergeant Hanna as to when their attorney has reviewed Bobby Truhe's tentative agreement and then send me the agreement. Perhaps Brett will know more when we see him. I called him, and he was happy to come and introduce himself and tell a little about himself. 

Rationale:  Budget Workshop 
Sept 10 @ 6:00 p.m.
Budget Hearing
Sept 10 @ 6:30 p.m.
Budget Tax Request Hearing
Sept 10 @ 6:40 p.m.

Rationale:  The district needed a part-time custodian for three years. The transportation department has been somewhat neglected for about the same time. Hiring Tyrel Fear will solve both of those problems. I offered him $23 per hour to fill both positions. This wage will be for all hours he works, both custodial and bus driving. I recommend you approve his employment with the district.
