• CARES ACT $126,943:  we will discuss appropriate expenditures

• OLD BUSINESS

• NEW BUSINESS

• Consider Negotiated agreement for FY21 Certified and exempt staff

• Public Hearing to Amend FY21 Calendar

• Approve calendar change – Due to the tentative negotiated settlement, removing a day from the contracts, we need to move a couple of the PD days around.  We will have 176 student days with the teacher on a 192 contract calendar (176, plus 2 PT comps, plus 7 PD and Work days and 6 paid holidays).  I recommend approval.

• Approve Technology purchases for FY21  Bruce is proposing we buy two grade levels of Apple Air laptops 16 Dells for the Ind. Tech Department and some updated network gear.  Some other tech needs are being addressed with the CARES money.  I recommend approval

• $13,507 E-Rate funded infrastructure updates (our 30%)

• $10,994      16 Dell laptops for PLTW (assuming we have normal teaching in the fall)

• $109,060    140 Macbook Airs @ $779 each

• $158,250    Total

• CARES ACT purchases – these purchases will replace older iPads  and Chromebooks that are not working well for distance learning.  As they are a necessary tool for future distance learning, they qualify for Federal funding.  I recommend approval.

• $13,158      40 iPads for KG (other half of what we got last winter)

• $11,532      Chromebooks and cart for WUELEM new classroom

• Approve List of Seniors Eligible for Graduation

• Approve Contracts for FY21 –

• Certified Staff –  Emily, LaCreasha and Eileen helped us to complete negotiations on Tuesday night.  The TA is in your packet, it is just over $54,000 each of the next two years.  These are good settlements considering the future reductions we need to get through.  The loss of a day on the contract would not be a problem as we still have 40 extra hours to make up hours in the spring.  I recommend approval.

• Classified Staff –  Classified staff is in the third year of their 3 year agreement, cost of this package is a bit over $53,000.

• Exempt Employees –  Administrators, directors, activity coordinators, and interventionists are on this schedule as they are the salaried workforce.  With the Certified staff getting roughly .5%  we have applied the same to the exempt staff members for their annual raise.  Due to changes in some positions the total raise in this group is going down.

• Approve reimbursement of fees – When school was called off in mid March, we have some fees that need to be returned to parents, semester milk break is prorated to $14.70 and the parents of the day care students in TigerHawk preschool will receive 50% of the tuition back.  I recommend approval.

• Semester Milk @ $14.70

• TigerHawk Preschool 50% fees for March

• Determine Fees for FY21  We went out for bids on the following and we will have the results to share with you on Monday night.

• Milk bids

• Bread bids

• Fuels

• Board Discussion for Possible agenda items

•  Adjourn
