1. Opening Procedures

1.1. Call meeting to order
Rationale:
Executive/Closed Session may be necessary during this meeting for either: 1) Protection of the public interest; or, 2) The prevention of needless injury to the reputation of an individual, and if the individual has not requested a public meeting. A copy of the “Open Meetings Act,” is posted within the meeting room for the public. Recognition of Visitors: The Board of Education encourages citizens to take advantage of the opportunity to address the Board at its regular meetings. Such opportunities will ordinarily be limited to the, “Communications from the Public” section of the meeting. When there are several persons who wish to address the Board at a meeting, the Board President shall have the authority to limit the amount of time provided to each speaker. In compliance with Nebraska statute 84-1412 the Open Meetings Act is posted within the meeting room. |

The President shall be elected first. The President must be elected by a majority vote to serve a one-year term of office. The ballots for President may be cast in secret but the secretary shall record the total vote for each candidate. Once elected, the new President assumes leadership of the meeting. The Vice-President shall be elected next by a majority vote to serve a one-year term. Again, secret ballots are appropriate, but the secretary must record the vote. The Treasurer shall be elected next for a one-year term. The Treasure must provide a surety bond and the school district must pay for this bond. I have attached the applicable board policies for each of the officers that you will elect. A definition of the duties and responsibilities of each job is included within these policies.

5.3. Consideration and possible action to amend the 2016-2017 calendar.
Rationale:
Administration is proposing the current calendar be amended for March 29th, 2017. The proposal is for this to move from a regular staff and student day to a staff report only contract day. The MUDECUS Association and SCC Beatrice have run into a conflict on this day for hosting MUDECUS Quiz Bowl. Freeman has accepted the invitation to host this event but will require our facilities and staff for hosting. Staff will report and work to run the event and students would not be in attendance on this day in the Administrations proposal. This is unfortunate but also unplanned by the MUDECUS Associaiton. Administration feels there is adequate time, at this date, for families within the district to make alternate plans.
