September 8, 2025 Immediately Following the Budget Hearing - Regular Board Meeting

Rationale:  It is (TIME) and I now call to order the Crete Public Schools Board of Education Meeting.  This is the September 2025 regular meeting. Notice of this meeting has been advertised in the Crete Newspaper and the Lincoln Journal Star, which are the District's designated methods 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 in to 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:  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?

Rationale:  The first item on the agenda tonight is the Consent Agenda.  The Consent Agenda to be approved is as follows: Minutes from the Previous Month's Meetings, Claims as Submitted, Staff Adjustments as Submitted, and Treasurer's Report as Submitted.

Rationale:  The next BOE meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at 6:30 PM in the Cardinal Welcome Center.
