8.4. Discussion of SEM External School Improvement Visitation.
Rationale:
Executive Summary.
The NDE requires schools to be accredited and to be in compliance with Rule 10. External visitations of Nebraska Schools happen once every five years. You may recall the zoom meeting we had in 2021 with NDE explaining the system. It was explained that this visitation time frame was changing, and that school would require the next visitations to happen between 4 and 7 years. This was dependent on the findings of the external team. Our visitation will be on March 29th and 30th. Mr. Schmidt will be providing everyone with a detailed agenda. The board will be involved on the evening of the 29th, as we meet the external team and have some informal conversations with the team. Then, on the 30th, there will be a board group comprised of three members that will meet with the team during the day, and at 3:30 a report out on their evaluation.

8.6. Discussion on adding Girls Wrestling to our extra-curricular program offerings.
Rationale:
Executive Summary:
The NSAA will sanction Girls Wrestling. The girl's program is gaining interest, as demonstrated by the turnout at the State Championships. I know that in our youth program we currently have some girls wrestling, and may wish to continue. There will be some issues that will have to be faced, the biggest being the coaching and supervision, but I think that is something we can handle. |
