July 12, 2013 at 11:00 AM - Board of Education Regular Meeting

Rationale: 

“Is there anyone present tonight that would like to address the board?”

Rationale:  Building and Grounds Committee should review submissions and make recommendation to the school board at the August Meeting.

Rationale:  1) Wireless Infrastructure:  HS was updated in 2011 and is capable of handling additional machines and bandwith.  MS would need additional and updated access points.
2) Purchase a new Mac Mini Web Server (Save District approximately $3900 year)
3) Quotes on new server rack with cooling system (Can be moved if we relocate equipment)
4) New Website when school starts
5) Online Forms, Handbooks, Application Process, and eMeetings

Rationale:  NASB Area Membership Meeting
Bookkeeper Training
Administrator Days
NDE / NCSA / NASB New Supt.

Rationale:  Our Board Policy does not set mileage reimbursement rates or what is an allowable mileage reimbursement.  This can fall under district operations and I am suggesting that the mileage rate read "equal to that set by the State of Nebraska".  For allowable mileage reimbursement I am suggesting that it read "with permission of the Superintendent of Schools for School District business".  The unwritten rule would be that school transportation should be used if available and if the staff member opts to take their own vehicle reimbursement is not an option.  Under District Policy Students can not be transported in personal vehicles.

Rationale:  Goal is to purchase a system with all tools combined including Scheduling, NSSRS Reporting, Gradebook, Lunch Management, and Web Access for Patrons.  Hoping to cut our current costs by hosting on our own sever and paying multiple vendors for these services.

Rationale:  Football, Volleyball, Girls Golf, Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, Boys and Girls Track, Boys Golf, Play Production, Speech, Instrumental/Vocal Music at the High School.  Football, Volleyball, Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, Wrestling (COOP with Osceola), and Boys and Girls Track at the Middle School.

Rationale:  20 Hours a week.  Job Description to include Route Design, Schedule the use of school vehicles, Assigning Drivers for Route/Field Trips/Activities, Finding Substitute Drivers, Create and Maintain Vehicle Records, Schedule Vehicle Maintenance, and other Transportation related duties as assigned.  Reports to the Superintendent.  Hourly Rate to be determined. Applicant must hold valid Nebraska bus drivers license.

Rationale:  This allows the District to change Board Policy to reflect what is being used.

Rationale: 

Rationale:  Based on the formula provided through the NDE our prices are where they need to be.  We do need to raise the 6-12 meal price by .05 to cover lunch expenditures.

Rationale:  Allows us to grow our budget authority if needed.

Rationale: 

The Board may enter into closed session at any time to discuss any matter for which a closed session is lawful and appropriate.

We have legal matters that need to be handled in closed session.

Before the Board can enter closed session, a motion must be made in agreement with Statute 84-1410 by the Board to discuss topics such as personnel, negotiations, and legal matters.
