Rationale: 

Notice to visitors: If you wish to speak, please obtain a “Request to be Heard” form from the entry table and return the completed form to the table attendant or the Board of Education Director.

The agenda will be kept current and available for public inspection in the office of the Secretary of the Board of Education at the Administrative Building during regular working hours. 

Pursuant to Section 84-1412 of the Nebraska Statutes, the public is hereby informed that a current copy of the Nebraska Open Meetings Act is posted in the Board meeting room on the north wall.

Rationale:  Cross & Joftus / UPD Consulting is conducting individual interviews and focus groups of district staff, school administrators, teachers, and students during the week of October 7-10 to assess district strengths and weaknesses in order to identify areas of focus for a 5 year strategic plan.  The Board's feedback is important in this process, so C&J/UPD will conduct a Strategic Priorities Interview with the entire Board as a group on October 7 from 4:30 to 6:00pm. The purpose of this meeting is to gain a clearer understanding of the board's vision and strategic priorities for the school district. This information, along with all of the other information collected during this week, will be used by C&J / UPD to write a needs assessment report for the district followed by a strategic plan.
