September 2, 2015 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.  I will also report on the possible need to update policy 5300 as it relates to a personnel need we had prior to the start of school.

Please take note of the enrollment report as we have had some changes in enrollment since June. In-house enrollment is now 1,333.

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 20-21.

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

Rationale:  Dr. Borden will review the results of the first annual SBAC test.

Rationale:  Ms. McCalla will present our recommendation to appropriate a portion of the remaining funds from the 2014-2015 budget to a reserve fund for capital and nonrecurring expenditures. This requires Board action.

Rationale: 

The RESC Alliance has completed bidding the Microsoft annual licensing agreement for the 2015/2016 school year. SHI International is the RESC Alliance recommended lowest bidder. Below is a summary of the licenses we will be purchasing. The offered pricing is within our budgeted value for licensing.

260    Desktop School All Languages Licenses @ $62.80

Subtotal $16,328.00

Network Server Licenses

Subtotal $13,756.60

Total:  $30,084.60

Rationale:  We maintain extended warranty service contracts on all of our district wide major network equipment provided by Cisco, HP and VMware. These service contracts are direct from these vendors and provided through our technology service contractor, Connecticut Computer Services. 

Rationale:  As discussed at the last meeting, there have been a few minor changes to the Bus Barn Agreement.  I will review those changes and recommend approval of the updated MOA.  As this agenda item was not on the posted agenda, we need a 2/3 majority approval to add it as an agenda item.
