December 9, 2019 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 ______(DATE)______ 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:  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:

Rationale:  Policy 4112 - Intent to Return

Rationale:  Dr. McDowell will present the proposed 2020-2021 Staffing Plan.

Rationale:  We are asking permission to take students out of state for the University of Kansas State Concert Band Clinic, held on the KState campus, January 24-26.

Rationale:  This proposed scope of work would involve FourPoint associate partner and director of teaching and learning Dr. Connie Wehmeyer and one other FourPoint senior consultant working on-site with Pre-K- 12 teachers to "unpack" the Nebraska Standards. The work product, once completed by Crete teachers, would hold decisions that, going forward, will guide all general and special education teachers as well as principals toward system-wide focus on grade-level standards instruction. This work is foundational to curriculum development and instructional resource selection aimed to provide a guaranteed and viable curriculum to each Crete student.
