This agenda contains a list of subjects known at the time of its distribution.  A copy of the agenda reflecting any changes will be available for public inspection during normal business hours in the District Office.  Except for items of an emergency nature, the agenda shall not be altered later than twenty-four hours before the meeting.  The Board reserves the right to alter the order of items, as it deems necessary.

Information concerning the Open Meeting Law, Chapter 84, Article 14 of Nebraska State Statutes, is posted on the bulletin board in the back of the meeting room.

This is the public’s opportunity to speak to items on the agenda. This is also the public’s opportunity to speak to any topic concerning the school district – since it is not an agenda item the board cannot discuss or take action on the matter at this time. Future discussion can be requested as an agenda item. To be recognized, all participants must complete the Request to Address the Milford Board of Education Form. No complaints regarding specific staff members will be heard during a public meeting. The District has established separate procedures for complaints against individual employees.

Behind once again.  I hope to hear by Monday's meeting what the new plan is for repair work.

This is our opportunity to share items from the NASB State Conference - if interested.

ALICAP

1. I have attached the ALICAP Annual Report. This report lists all the programs associated with ALICAP.
2. I also attached our latest insurance visit from ALICAP.  Every year an ALICAP representative visits our campus and reviews insurance information with Tammy and myself and then does a more detailed walkthrough of one of our buildings.  The report attached is from our visit to the HS. 
3. ALICAP is a great program.

I have this on here to start conversations regarding our space issues.  Jon Carlson has very rough plans drawn for remodeling the current rooms and I will start reviewing that with him. 

Just looking for ideas on how we want to proceed. 

I have talked to Jon about having someone do a review and assessment of our heating and cooling units.  I will have that hopefully at the next meeting for your review.

The steering committee for Nebraskans United met with a group of Senators on Thursday, December 7th.  They will share an update at some point with all of us.

One of the technology tools that is being used by the majority of educational groups and individuals is Twitter.  Some of you are using and others are not.  We will do a short presentation on this and share some groups that we think you should be following.

I do not want to discuss this item until we discuss Item 7.3 - 2018-19 Calendar Options.

I will have a hard copy of this list for you at the meeting.  I stress that this is a working document and it will be changing.

President Welsch will lead this process.  I recommend we move it to the end of the agenda.

This is a yearly item and is required.  Approval recognizes the MEA as the negotiated body for the certified staff.

I believe we approved this a year or so ago but I can't find our copy and Nebraskans United does not have it either.  I believe we should approve this resolution.  It does not commit us to any specific actions just supports the goals of Nebraskans United.

I just want to have an initial discussion on the 1st draft of the 2018-19 calendar.  We will also be looking at Item 4.8 during this discussion.

The Board of Education reserves the right to enter into Closed/Executive Session for 1) the protection of the public interest, or 2) the prevention of needless injury to the reputation of an individual, and/or the individual has not requested a public meeting. When making a motion to enter into Closed/Executive Session, the member making the motion should be as specific as possible as to the reason(s) for executive session.

The Board President will restate the reason for Closed/Executive Session after the motion has been acted on.

Meeting adjourned at 9:40.
