All school districts receiving ESSER funds are required to a safe school learning plan through the expenditure period which will take us through FY23.

The district's three-year strategic plan has been created with input from the community, staff, administration, and board members. This plan reflects the desired priorities of the districts as well as specific goals in each priority. This plan will drive district work for the next three years.

3.5. Approve School Perceptions Agreement

School Perceptions presented to the school board at the annual work retreat on July 18.

3.6. Set Substitute Teacher Pay
Discussion:
MASPA completed a state review of substitute teacher pay for this upcoming school year that shows pay rate by state, region, and school levels. In looking at Southwest Minnesota the range of substitute pay is $120-$239 with the median pay being $135.
Montevideo Public Schools is currently at $120 per day. This rate makes it difficult to compete regionally for subs as our neighbors are predominately in the $135-$160 range. It is being recommended by the Superintendent to increase the substitute teaching rate for the 2022-2023 school year from $120 to $135. |
|
3.7. Approval of Montevideo Educational Assistant's Work Agreement
Discussion:
Attached is the tentative agreement form outlining the changes in the master agreement. This agreement has been approved by the bargaining group and is being recommended for approval to the full school board by the negotiations committee.

3.8. Set Adult Meal Prices
Discussion:
Since the June meeting the required minimum cost for adult meals has come out and the previously set amount was below this requirement, therefore board action must be taken to reset the price.
Minimum prices for adult breakfast is $2.25 and lunch $4.95. This change is recommended. |
|
3.9. Approve Transportation Agreement
Discussion:
The transportation committee has reached a tentative agreement with Clark Transportation. The details of the agreement are in the attached file.
