April 6, 2020 at 6:00 PM - Board Meeting Agenda

Rationale:  It is 6:____PM and I now call to order the Crete Public Schools Board of Education Meeting.  This is the April 13, 2020 regular board meeting.  Notice of this meeting has been advertised in the Crete Newspaper, which is the District's designated method of giving notice of these meetings. Notice of this videoconference meeting has also been posted publicly. 

As this board meeting will be held by videoconference, and no quorum of the Board of Education will be physically present together, there will be no in-person attendance available to the public or the media. Public and media access to the videoconference is available by https://zoom.us/j/493282769.

There will still be an opportunity to address the Board during the public forum portion of this meeting. We ask those individuals to send his/her request via chat on the zoom call to Dr. McDowell.

Ms. Banos will you please call the roll.

Rationale:  The mission of Crete Public Schools, a diverse community of engaged individuals committed to the success of all, is to ensure learners have the character, knowledge, and skills to be respectful and productive members of a global society.  Crete Public Schools will cultivate a culture where all are challenged, empowered, and supported to reach their maximum potential.

Rationale: 

1. Each individual addressing the Board will be allowed 5 minutes. The Board of Education has the prerogative to limit speaking to 3 minutes when there are three or more patrons to allow all speakers an opportunity to address the Board in a timely manner.
2. We will not engage in dialogue with patrons presenting to the Board.
3. The Board president and superintendent will identify staff to follow-up on the information requested from patrons.
4. The Board president may share a statement on behalf of the Board when addressing a major issue in the district.

Rationale:  The first item on the agenda tonight is the Consent Agenda.  The Consent Agenda to be approved is as follows:  (read Consent Agenda sub-items)

Rationale:  The next BOE regular meeting will be on Monday, May 11, 2020.
