Such opportunities will ordinarily be limited to the, “Communications from the Public” section of the meeting.

3. Matters Requiring Board Action
|
3.1. Consideration and possible action to adjust the 2017-2018 School Calendar.
Rationale:
At this point Freeman has used two of the three days built into the calendar for weather or school events. This means the district is one day over our contract with the staff. I see two viable options for use of this day:
May 1st is the Freeman Track Invitational and could be made a non-staff and non-student day. May 17th is scheduled as the last student day of the school year, this day could be moved to May 16th with May 17th becoming the final staff day of the year.

3.2. Consideration and possible action to approve the sale of a 15 passenger van.
Rationale:
I missed this action item in March. The 15 passenger blue van was sold for $800. Freeman does have the latitude to sell an item for a set price per policy, but this sale does require Board Action.
|
3.3. Consideration and possible action to accept a Letter of Resignation from Erik Sokol.
Rationale:
Mr. Sokol will have a letter prepared for Board review and can speak to his intentions.
|
3.4. Consideration and possible action to approve Classified Negotiations for the 2018-2019 school year.
Rationale:
