February 24, 2025 at 5:00 PM - Work Session

Rationale:  Discussion related to recent and future hires and how those decisions affect the current structure in the district.  The Principals will be present to share an update with input they have received from middle school staff regarding having 5th grade self contained and the MS grades 6-8.

We hope to conducted interviews soon and move forward with this next step and phase of staffing.

Rationale:  We will have a report regarding the girls' wrestling coop and what the possible next steps may be.  In addition, we will discuss the possible need to consider a co-op arrangement for other situations in the future.

Rationale:  The NVC is meeting on Monday, February 24th.  There is a possibility the conference may vote to extend an invitation to Ainsworth at that time.  We will have an update on that situation and can discuss as needed depending on the outcome of the NVC meeting on the 24th prior to our work session.

Rationale:  LB 140 has the potential to create requirements related to cell phones and electronic devices.  We'll discuss the bill and potential changes or effects to our existing policies should it pass.

Rationale:  There are schools who are currently in discussion regarding the 4 day week.  Although we are not currently considering a 4-day week, we will have a discussion so that all board members can be caught up on the discussion from negotiations regarding a 4-day week, including the pros and cons of such a schedule.

Rationale:  We thought we had a more significant issue regarding the plumbing in the district office.  The situation was able to be "fixed" and we hope we do not have problems surface again soon.

It will still be prudent to have a discussion about the options moving forward should we decide it is time to abandon the district office.
