December 10, 2012 at 7:00 PM - December Regular Board meeting

Rationale: 

Public Participation at Board of Education Meetings:

BOE Policy/Regulation 8346 outlines the parameters of public participation at Board meetings concerning items on the agenda as well as those not on the agenda.  A copy of this policy is available in the Superintendent’s office and at each monthly Board meeting.

Rationale:  Approve R & R repair bill in the amount of $???????

Rationale:  The attached school climate survey summary will be discussed.

Rationale:  I've been approached about 3 items I'd like the board's input on.  They are all expenditures that would be taken out of the activities fund.  Those three items include championship banners for the gym, an updated record board, and coats for the football players.  I just need some guidance on these items to see how aggressively you want to pursue them.

Rationale:  Discussion regarding the potential vacancy in the activities director position for the 2013-14 school year will be held.

Rationale:  The group that I'm working with suggested that we review our current school wellness policy as a step towards improving the level of health in our schools.  The current school wellness policy is attached.

You can also visit the website and view the audit that Jan, Mary, and I conducted as part of the Healthy Schools Program Training we went to.  I'd like to hear feedback regarding the survey responses and which ones you think you'd like to tackle first.

Rationale:  Attached, you will find the letter of request from the FTA to be the exclusive bargaining agent for non-supervisory certificated employees for the 2014-15 negotiations process.

Rationale:  I have forwarded the email from Greg Perry regarding the questions on the 4000 series of policies to the members of the policy committee.  I have adjusted the policies as the board requested at the November meeting in order to prepare them for 1st reading.  Please remember, you can take as much time as you want to look at, revise, and adjust these policies until they are exactly as you wish them to read.  Please take your time and let me know of any additional questions you have or changes you would like to make.  I have posted the policies in two sections.  One section is the policies that were adjusted or altered in any way other than they were originally presented to us by the attorney.  The second section are policies within the 4000 series that appear exactly as they were presented by the attorney.

Rationale:  RoseAnn Wengler from the Dorn Insurance Agency will be in to go over claims paid out during the last year and to answer any questions you may have about current coverage or coverage options.  If you have any question you are aware of in advance of her presentation, you can email those to her at <roseann.wengler@gmail.com> to ensure she has time to adequately prepare to answer them.

Rationale:  The superintendent has generally been evaluated twice a year.  The last evaluation was in July.  The board may want to take some time to discuss the evaluation instrument and discuss the process for the next evaluation.

Rationale:  According to the existing superintendent's contract, superintendent contract renewal is to be a business item at the January Board Meeting.  In advance of that meeting, I'd like to know of any information or considerations pertaining to the contract you'd like for me to provide the board with with so that I can prepare the contract for the January Board Meeting.
