Discussion:
Dr. Fields attended a Property Tax State Chamber Debrief. Some superintendents will meet with Senator Hughes and Millard Public Schools to discuss the TEOSSA Formula and what could look different with it. The NASB State Conference is November 20-22, 2024. We have submitted a couple of students for some of the student panels from SHS and both students were selected for the panel. Negotiations will start in the next couple of weeks so we need to schedule a meeting soon. Matt worked with Sodexo to hopefully help with the last people going through the line to ensure there is enough choices. Dr. Fields updated the board on the turf collaboration with the City, CUNE, and SPS. Dr. Fields had his first Superintendent's Parent Advisory and had a great turnout with great feedback. The Wellness Center has a Corporate Member discussion we are looking into. We had a Seward County Roads meeting before the winter weather hit. NASB Monthly Update
