May 3, 2017 at 6:30 PM - Regular Board of Education Meeting

Rationale: 

 

Rationale:  We are going to begin our meeting with an executive session where you will have the opportunity to interview our finalist for the LOLMS Principal position.  After the session you will be asked to vote on approval of this candidate.

Rationale:  I will report to the Board on the outcome of the budget referendum.

Please note the personnel report as you will find updated employee information reflected in it. 

Please take note of the May enrollment report. We have a total of 1,309 students enrolled.  Our marketing campaign has attracted many visitors, and we are now touring possible new students 3-4 times per week! 

Please remember our upcoming recognition dinner scheduled for May 25 at Great Neck Country Club in Waterford.  I hope everyone can attend.

Rationale:  Mrs. McCalla will provide a year to date budget status report as well as a contingency fund report.

Rationale:  In what will be her LAST presentation to the Board, Beth will review the process and outcomes of our homework committees that were formed due to parent concerns in the fall.

Rationale:  In what will be her LAST presentation to the Board, Beth will review the process and outcomes of our homework committees that were formed due to parent concerns in the fall.

Rationale:  Assuming (and hoping) the communities have approved our proposed budget, we will be able to rescind the non-renewals of staff members.  This will allow us to make appointments for next year and finalize our scheduling and placements.  This requires Board action.

Rationale:  After what seems like years in the making, we have finally come to an agreement with the town of Old Lyme regarding our use of the new boathouse.  I will review the contents of the agreement and will ask for approval of said agreement.  Assuming this is approved, we will begin finalizing our agreement with the OLRA.  This requires Board action.

Rationale: 

Background:  As part of our long term network infrastructure upgrade program, we have budgeted the replacement of the network firewall and one of the central servers.  These components have reached their end of life.

Both the network firewall replacement central server were bid as part of the Cisco and HP State of Connecticut contracts.

Rationale:  We will be seeking Board approval on the new math program (Bridges) that was presented to the Board at the April meeting. The total amount for this purchase is $29,338.84. Since this is a single source item, the Board will have to vote to forgo the bidding practices outlined in Policy 6330.
