November 13, 2023 at 6:00 PM - Board of Education Regular Meeting

• McCook Elem. Program in Am. 

• Central: Veterans breakfast: Kids invite family members or friends to eat, central starz sing, etc. 

• Jr. High - students spelling out “Thank you veterans” with a drone photo.

• Sr. High: 11/10/23 @ 10:50 in SH Auditorium.  Dan Stramel is coming to speak and the legion is bringing the colors; an invitation to all veterans in the community.

• Administrators continue to be busy traveling across the state and to neighboring states to ensure that we are casting a wide net looking for student teachers and potential future teachers to work at MPS. Since last month we have visited Wayne State College, Northern Colorado, and Hastings College. 

• State assessment data is still under embargo. The district did very well, but our scores cannot be shared at this time. However, it would not surprise me if they are released in the next week or two. There are always a lot of questions about the assessment results following the release of data to schools. Our own administrative team met with NDE administrators to discuss our results to clarify why we received the classifications that we received. 

• Probationary teacher evaluations for the first semester are to be completed by December 7. 

• Our insurance and Rule 10 safety inspection has been completed. Once we receive the report, the safety team will meet to discuss its findings and share the report with the Board. 

• The main water line coming into the school cracked and leaked out a considerable amount of water. Jeff will speak about this during his report.

• The state school boards conference is this week in Omaha. 

9.3. Discuss, consider and take all necessary action with regard to the Findings and Recommendations of the Selection Committee for the position of Construction Manager at Risk for the proposed new Junior High School addition and Senior High School renovation project.
