April 10, 2017 at 4:45 PM - Board of Education Committee of the Whole Meeting

Craig Caples presented to the Board.  They went through the Board components of emeetings.

Postpone to next COW.

Kristy Mackeprang and Vern Fisher explained the projects and the target for each year. The goal is to set funds aside and allocate money to specific projects for continual update and upkeep of facilities.  Dr. Fisher also added that he wants the Board to have regular input and communication about all facilities projects.

Kristy Mackeprang explained the difference between the Rule 10 safety audit completed earlier.  The report was included in the March packet.  Some of the projects in the three year plan are a result of the findings from the audit.

In addition NDE is now required to have a safety officer employed.  Each school is required to complete a self assessment and report to the officer.  Then every buidling will be inspected and recommendations will be made. We are beginning to form the team and complete the sef assessment.  The assessments are due to the state in August.

Technology is an area that needs routine maintenance as well.  Also, included in the three year plan is a budget item for rotation of technology.  Eventually cycles, upgrading and assessment will become part of the technology plan. Placing a budget figure allows the district to plan year after year.

We recommend that this is an advisory avenue and all action would take place in the regular board meeting.

Classfied leave will be discussed in the regular board meeting if time allows.

Building usage will be discussed in the regular board meeting if time allows.
