NDE School Safety and Security Grant
Rationale:
Back in March, we applied for the available NDE safety and security grant. Ainsworth was awarded $68,325 of the $97,607 requested based on the proposal submitted. The school worked with Safe-N-Secure (our security camera service provider) to develop a quote and project proposal to update the school's cameras and door access. That quote with maps and descriptions is attached.
We will need direction to work within the amount of grant dollars received or to move forward with the entire quote, using district funds to make up the rest of the costs (29-30K).

HVAC Controls Update Proposal
Rationale:
We have worked with Dan Morrell and Engineered Controls to determine the next steps needed to update the control system that will best compliment our newer chiller and new boiler systems.
The proposal attached represents an update that sets us up to update other controls within the system as they begin to need replacing. We have some controls that are over 20 years old and the technology is obsolete. This update is for the Jace controller and N4 web-based controller. These "central" components of the system are necessary as we continue to replace older controls that continue to have issues with software and compatibility with current technology.

Update/Revision of Graduation Requirements Policy 0611.07
Rationale:
LB 1112 (passed in 2022) created the Computer Science and Technology Act. Among requirements from this bill is a new graduation requirement for all students to have received instruction for approved standards in computer science and technology.
Mr. Dike will be present to discuss the pros and cons of options in satisfying this requirement. We are recommending a semester long course that all high school students will be required to take, starting with the class of 2028. Policy 611.07 needs to be revised to include this new requirement and is attached.

ACS Board Policy Review
Rationale:
The Board is committed to the ongoing review and maintenance of Board Policy. Policies will be provided to the Policy Committee in advance and then to the entire Board for review/approval on a regular basis.
*All Board Policies are available to the public through the Sparq Public Meetings Access site: https://meeting.sparqdata.com/Public/Organization/415 *The link to all policies is provided through the school district website. The policies in this month's review are the first 19 policies in the 400s (Personnel) section. The policies presented are sufficient and remain effectively up to date. Policy 402.17 has some updates as recommended by NASB for the recording of conversations in the workplace and will required 2 readings. A simple review is sufficient for the rest unless the Board proposes changes to the policies presented. As per Board Policy, a review of policy may be conducted by one reading of the Board. If changes are made, the current Board Policy requires 2 readings of the Board prior to the adoption of changes.
