RE: Notes for August 13, 2018 Board Meeting

Agenda

We still need to have an NF and Valley meeting to approve the paying of bills.  If all the NFV board members are present (I know Stacy will not be this month) we would have a Quorum of the old board.  I will create an agenda and invite all board members to come or call in for this task at 6:00 and we will go directly to NFV around 6:15.

• Communications

• Curriculum Director Report

• Superintendent Report

• Construction Update

• New Website

• Solar array annual savings

• Board Member reports

• Old Business

• Approve 2nd read revised policy 605.6 (AUP)  This is a new AUP with different sign off  second read

• Approve 2nd read new job description 420.28 (Trip Coordinator/Chaperone)  For German and spanish trips, with a pay scale; 2nd read.

• New Business

• Approve AEA Purchasing Consortium agreement  This is an annual renewal.  AEA purchasing gets us good prices for paper and some other supplies.  I recommend approval.

• Consider purchase of school vehicle – We decided to wait until we see the special education transportation needs.  We do need another vehicle as we have run across days when all are out.

• Consider sale of outdated furnishings and equipment – I am proposing another garage sale for obsolete equipment, mostly it is older furniture and some equipment

• Approve Board Regulation 201.1R1 and 201.1E1 Director Districts  These are districts we have previously approved, but now putting them in the policy book with the election plans for the first 2 election of the new district (2019 and 2021)

• Consider revision of Board Policies 501.5, 711.1R2  This is a policy for assigning students to elementary attendance centers.  This will help us manage our bus miles and yet still allow for some limited flexibility with parent requests.  Of note is that all open enrolled students between the former districts will be allowed to stay in their building of choice.  And if parents move between districts we do have an opportunity for parents to keep their kids in the same building if they want.  No jumping back and forth though, and parent transports to their school of choice. First Read for both.

• Approve request for change of Attendance Center  And here is our first request,  I expect a couple more. This family has moved from the Valley center to the West Union Center, they will provide transportation to take their child to Valley, so I recommend approval.

• Open enrollment request  This is a parent that has never attended in our district, they wish to continue homeschooling through the Virtual academy.  Because the request is late it is the board’s decision whether to allow it or not.

• Consider Flexibility Fund Resolution  If I can figure out how the resolution should read I will be asking to move some Core Curriculum professional development money to the flexibility account.  This money will be used to reimburse the activity fund for student protective equipment, football, baseball and softball helmets and reconditioning.

• Approve Activities Handbook changes  Mr. Wolverton has updated the activities handbook and will share significant changes with you.

• Discuss Baseball Field Proposal  I’ve had people asking about where the baseball field renovation plan is going.  I think what I would like to do is propose the whole plan; sidewalk, concessions, restrooms, press box, and lights and request public fundraising to some of the extra features we build beyond what is necessary.  I’d like to put a dollar amount on the table of what the board would cover as part of that project, and ask for private funds with the extras (press box, lights, etc) from a fundraising campaign. The proposed details are enclosed,  This is primarily a discussion item, but wanted to share it with you before we go out raising money.

 

1. 1. 1. Approve Leasing of Public Library ICN Room for Alternative Classroom.

 

• Board Discussion for possible agenda items

• Adjourn
