June 14, 2021 at 6:00 PM - Board Meeting Agenda

Rationale:  It is 6:00 PM and I now call to order the Crete Public Schools Board of Education Meeting.  This is the June 10, 2021 regular 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.

We want those in attendance to know that copies of the Open Meetings Act are available at the entrance to the Board Room.  If anyone in attendance is interested in addressing our Board, you are welcome to do so.  We simply request that you complete the appropriate form and turn it into us now so that you may be recognized during the Public Forum part of our meeting.  These forms are also located by the entry doors of this room.

Ms. Banos will you please call the roll.

Rationale:  Seeing there is a Quorum present, we will move on to the reading of the Mission statement.

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:  This brings us to the Public Forum part of our meeting. During the Public Forum:

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.

Is there anyone here that would like to address the Board during the Public Forum? (pause)

Rationale:  Most people have a hard time visualizing rows and
columns of data and identifying trends. The CIC
Analysis Portal Content tools allow non-technical
end users to quickly and easily create and share
pictures from underlying databases.
Data (expressed in pictures) can then easily be

explored interactively to analyze the data on-
screen; visualizations are quickly and easily posted

to the web for sharing with others.
Users view an image, formulate the next logical
question(s), and then answer question(s) by
clicking on the screen. The system provides
unlimited levels of "undo" to back up step by step
as well. Users also may bookmark a particular
visualization to use as a later starting point or
display in a presentation.
