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.

General Fund for $74,514.37

Items to Point Out:

1. We have our usual yearly items such as supplies for the current school year and summer bills that we are just being invoiced for.  I think Tammy's descriptions explain most of these expenses.
2. $200 to KSB Law was for handbook review/revisions.
3. $720 to Matheson Tri-Gas is for welding supplies.
4. $1,300 to Music Theatre International is for junior high musical rights.
5. Any monthly bills you see to the NE Safety Center at UNK is for bus driver training/assessment fees. 
6. One Source bills - just a reminder that this is the company we use for background checks for employees and volunteers.  You will see bills to them periodically.
7. R & A Transportation - this is for our student that attends school at BEST Alternative School in Lincoln.  You will see this throughout the year.  It is a SPED expense so we will get some reimbursement in a year.

 Please let me know if there are other bills you have questions/comments on.
