July 8, 2013 at 8:00 PM - Regular July Meeting

Rationale: 

Public Participation at Board of Education Meetings:

BOE Policy/Regulation 8346 outlines the parameters of public participation at Board meetings concerning items on the agenda as well as those not on the agenda.  A copy of this policy is available in the Superintendent’s office and at each monthly Board meeting.

Rationale:  This is payment to Siel Construction for the drainage work they did to accommodate the roof watershed created by the new section of roof that is too be added to the south central portion of the building by Magnum Roofing during the month of July.

Rationale:  Mr. Les Sidlo was present to discuss the 1 to 1 student laptop initiative.  Mrs. Kelley Simmons was present to discuss weighted grades for secondary students.

Rationale:  These are surplus items taking up space in the bus barn.  I'd ask that the board please declare them surplus for immediate disposal.

Rationale:  Both of the banks need such an approved resolution to be on file with each of their institutions in order to allow Monica access to the various accounts the school holds with each of them.  This is a standard resolution.

Rationale:  This policy has been revised at the recommendation of Greg Perry.  It provides for greater flexibility in advertising board meetings than the current version of this policy.

Rationale:  Mr. Sidlo will be in to discuss the appropriate grade level to stop providing students with laptops on a 1 to 1 basis.

Rationale:  Mrs. Simmons will be in to lead the discussion regarding weighted grades.

Rationale:  Attached is the information regarding the fleet vehicles provided by Mr. Stacey James each year that comprise the 2013 Transportation Report.
