December 10, 2012 at 5:00 PM - Board of Education Regular Meeting

Rationale:  Notice of the meeting was given in advance by publishing in the Dakota County Star. All proceedings hereafter shown took place while convened meeting was open to the attendance of the public.

Rationale:  The revised policy incorporates the recently approved Rule 10 requirements.

Rationale:  This new policy is based on the guidelines created by the Nebraska Secretary of State’s office on record management.

Rationale:  The Board approved a part-time math instructor at the High School during first semester to handle the high student numbers in Algebra 1.  The Board asked at this time if administration wanted this position for first semester or the full year.  Administration stated that they wanted the position for first semester, wanted to re-evaluate the situation and come back to the Board if the position needed to be extended into second semester.  The number of ninth grade Algebra 1 students at the High School still remains high and there is a need to continue with the additional sections that were added first semester.

Rationale:  The Board had approved the addition of a 0.5 FTE early childhood teacher during the November board meeting.  The appointment of a person for this approved position was inadvertently left off the December board agenda.  Policy 204.10 allows the board to add an agenda item of either an emergency or time sensitive nature.  Administration requested that the board add the appointment of a 0.5 FTE early childhood position as a time sensitive item so the position could be filled.

Rationale:  Formal completion of ESSCG Grant.

Rationale:  The board may go into executive session, to discuss personnel,  for the protection of public interest.
