January 13, 2020 at 5:30 PM - Board of Education Regular Meeting

Rationale:  I would like to recommend to the board the following adjustments to the board subcommittees.  

Combine the following committees 

• Building & Grounds with Transportation
• Teaching and Learning with Americanism
• Budget with Negotiations

Rational

• Combining Buildings and Grounds with Transportation puts together two of the major external sources together.  In both cases we would be looking at major expenses, and it make sense to me to have the same people looking at those numbers, especially when it comes time to making long term goal setting plans.
  • As an example, if we were to consider building of a bus barn and add vehicles to our transportation fleet.
• Combining Teaching and Learning with the Americanism committee seems to make sense to me because the primary function of both groups are currently curriculum.
• Combining Budget with Negotiations again this make sense to me to have the negotiators having the best understanding of the current budget. 

In general, I feel that with the boards interest in having more committee work, I think this would help to organize the process, make the subcommittees or efficient and provide the groups with all relevant information they need to make recommendations to the board.
