Freeman must average a 12 cent increase this school year to meet Federal Guidelines for reimbursement.  This is a aggregate increase between K-6 and 7-12 lunches sold.  With this suggested change Freeman will look at providing a fruit and salad bar to all K-12 student lunches.  Thus the narrowing of the gap between K-6 and 7-12 lunches from 40 cents to 25 cents.

Rationale:  I am recommending a $7 increase to $132 per day for certified subs.  After 10 consecutive days in a long-term substitute position pay moves to 1/185 of base salary.  Classified substitute pay will be at level I of the Classified Tiers for the position worked.

Rationale: 

In the 2016-17 school year fees were set at $35 for Jr. High and $50 for High School students.  Insurance was offered seperately for Chrome Books.  In 2017-18 the district purposes a fee of $50 for Jr. High and $70 dollars for High School students.  The additional fee includes a technology fee that covers all Chrome Books and provides each graduating senior with their Chrome Book after graduation.

Rationale: 

Freeman needs to look at both our admission prices for Varsity event as well as Jr. Varsity events, and Jr. High events.  At this time Freeman will also look at the cost of all passes for Freeman events.  Freeman is currently at $4 and $5 for Varsity events.  Passes are $55 for the year and $35 for the year for those over the age of 65.

Rationale: 

Cost is $850 dollars.  There is information attached detailing the benefits to Freeman Public Schools of our NRCSA membership.

Rationale: 

The Board will be looking at all the suggested positions that are catorgarized as Extra Duty positions and sponsorships.  This list does not include any extended contracts entered into with staff.  At this time the only position Freeman is looking to fill is Jr. High Girls BB asst.
