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.

Items to Point Out:

1. Cornhusker International - these bills are high this month.  We had the 96 bus with transmission issues and had to be towed.  Also had an exhaust leak.  The 04 had several issues related to the diagnostics, some lighting issues, brake issues, struts, etc.  The 01 had some electrical issues, heater issues, transmission repairs and the stop arms was not working correctly.
2. A lot of the other repairs were related to inspections and some that were just normal wear and tear. 
3. We also had various bills for the quarterly vehicle inspections.

At past board meetings, Dr. Kubicek discussed NWEA MAP testing.  We have attached a presentation illustrating how teachers use this information to plan instruction.  This is our first year to use MAP assessment and teachers have already begun to implement changes to instruction based upon the data we gather from these assessments.  The ability to have immediate feedback from these assessments is helpful.

Open discussion as needed.
