5.a. Superintendent's Report
Description:
1. Building Construction update: The plan is to have weekly meetings to finalize what the final blueprint will look like. We had lots of great ideas brought forth regarding the best utilization of the funds. I met with Brittany and Veronica and asked for input about the potential layout of the FACS room. I also reached out to Bolton and Mink and asked them to mark our property line around the construction area of the Morgan Building.
2. Policies: I recommend that we review our entire policy handbook starting with series 100 to make sure we are up-to-date on our policies. Hope to complete it by the end of the school year. 3. Office Staff Workflow analysis: In order to best utilize our current office staff, I plan to conduct an office workflow analysis. School Management Services offers this program. I have a meeting lined up with them and plan to bring a proposal to the board's attention. 4. Title funding delay: USDOE has not released certain federal funds. Seth has been proactive on Title II part A, and he did not include it in our budget as revenue. The potential loss for us will be $10,000 if we do not receive Title IV part A funds (see MSBA letter attachment). 5. Negotiations Update: We have had two meetings so far with the CMEM group. The main discussion focused on the extracurricular matrix and extra-and co-curricular job descriptions at our last meeting. 6. Dashir Update: Doug Domeier, Interim Building and Grounds Manager, and his crew have done a superb job of getting the Franklin building ready to go, and they are working in the Morgan building now.
