If a Board representative does not inform the Superintendent in writing on or before the seventh day after the regular December 2024 board meeting (and each December thereafter) of the Board’s intention to consider the nonrenewal or amendment of this contract, the contract will automatically renew for a period of one year from and after the expiration date provided in Section 1 of this contract. The Superintendent shall remind the Board in writing of this provision no later than its regular November meeting of each applicable year in which this contract may renew, starting in November 2024, and shall make the renewal of the Superintendent’s employment contract an agenda item for the regular December board meeting during each applicable contract year. At the time of each contract renewal and/or amendment, the Superintendent shall be responsible for taking all necessary steps to insure that the School District has complied with the Superintendent Pay Transparency Act.

15. Superintendent's Report
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Rationale:
1. Grass Next to Track (Budget Pricing Attached) - The track installer encouraged us to cut down the sod to allow for proper drainage around the entire interior "ring" of the track. The price for having this done is attached. The superintendent is looking for guidance on how to move forward on the issue.
2. Trees West and North of the Elementary Playground 3. Kitchen Equipment Bids - There is a competitive grant for kitchen equipment that the superintendent is looking at applying for. So, you may see an RFP for kitchen equipment (hot service line, flash freezer) in the newspaper as part of that application process. In order to submit the grant, the district has to have bids before submitting the application. 4. Mapping Grant - The superintendent is pursuing a mapping grant with NDE. This would create a digital map of our property for use by law enforcement and emergency responders. The estimated cost of such a service is $5,000, which would be funded through the grant. 5. ESSERs III - All the money for ESSERs III money has been reimbursed to the district. The grant is completed. 6. JAG - Jobs for America's Graduates (See Attached) - This is an opportunity that some of the smaller schools around us (Centura, Pleasanton) are taking advantage of. It is something we might want to consider moving forward. The superintendent will follow up with the area schools involved and see how it is going and circle back with the board at the correct time. 7. Fence for Elementary Playground - Budget Pricing 8. Board Meeting Time for December through February - Do you want to move the start time to 7:00 or leave it at 8:00?

A copy of two different proposed policies and a current copy of RPS Board Policy 5022 are attached for review and consideration by the board of education.
