This is the public’s opportunity to speak to items on the agenda. This is also the public’s opportunity to speak to any topic concerning the school district – since it is not an agenda item the board cannot discuss or take action on the matter at this time. Future discussion can be requested as an agenda item. To be recognized, all participants must complete the Request to Address the Milford Board of Education Form. No complaints regarding specific staff members will be heard during a public meeting. The District has established separate procedures for complaints against individual employees.

More Information:  President Welsch will lead this discussion.  He has requested Executive Session be used.  We will also discuss a student discipline situation in Executive Session.

Here is the motion that is located in the Executive Session Section:  Motion to move into Executive Session for purposes of discussing Item VII - A and a Student Discipline Situation.  Executive Session is necessary for the prevention of needless injury to the reputation of the individual or individuals because they have not requested a public hearing and for the protection of the public interest.

More Information:  Just need to clarify the process and timeline the Board wants to use this year.  Our policy is attached.  It states that I am to be evaluated at the December meeting so I can be notified by January 15th if you are not renewing my contract.

Dave attended a session at the NASB Conference and has some recommendations.

I am fine with postponing these deadlines so Dave and I have a chance to look at this policy in more detail.  I am making this statement based on my opinion that you are going to renew my contact.

More Information: 

The Board of Education reserves the right to enter into Closed/Executive Session for 1) the protection of the public interest, or 2) the prevention of needless injury to the reputation of an individual, and/or the individual has not requested a public meeting. When making a motion to enter into Closed/Executive Session, the member making the motion should be as specific as possible as to the reason(s) for executive session.

The Board President will restate the reason for Closed/Executive Session after the motion has been acted on.
