6.1. 1000 Series Board Policies ---- Policy Overview & Mission Statement
Rationale:
Executive Summary
The 1000 Series policies were presented at the September BOE meeting, and there was brief discussion. These are general policies statements, that with the exception of our 1003 policy on Mission Statement are broadly applied to all school boards. It would be my recommendation to approve the 1000 Series Policies as presented.
Recommended Motion(s):
I move to approve and adopt the 1000 series KSB policies as part of the SEM board of education policies. Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.

6.2. Consideration of 2000 Series KSB policies for SEM BOE policies
Rationale:
Executive Summary:
On September 18, 2020, I sent an email with the 2000 Series: The Board: Organization, Development, and Procedures to each member of the board. The email included 16 policies and an index and general summary of the 2000 series policies. On Monday, October 5, I sent an email about being available for further information on the policies. All the responses that I received did not indicate the need for another meeting. I will have a marked-up copy of the individual policies, with my recommendations for the board meeting.

6.3. Superintendent's Evaluation -- Consideration of purchase of evaluation tool and services.
Rationale:
Executive Summary:
Last year, the BOE elected to use the Nebraska Association of School Boards (NASB) services to complete this process. From my understanding, it seemed that the board was pleased with the procedure, and for the most part, has a consensus of using this evaluation tool again for the 2020-2021 school year. This is a purchased service ($300), but I feel it is worth the expense. In addition to them providing the evaluation and compiling the results, they also provide guidance and advice for the board with any concerns or recommendations that you may have. I would also recommend using NASB because it would meet the board's professional responsibilities for superintendent evaluations. If you would like to use this process again, then the board would need to make a motion to purchase the service. NASB has also provided the following timeline:
Recommended Motion(s):
I move to purchase NASB's Superintendent's evaluation services for 2020-2021. Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.

6.4. Selection of Representative for State Education Conference
