August 26, 2024 at 5:00 PM - DOUGLAS SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION

Rationale:  FOURTH: It is agreed that the Administrator shall be employed for 236 contract days each contract year of which 16 shall be paid holidays. The Administrator's contract may be extended following the time in which the contract days have been completed, subject to express Board approval. If the Board requires additional workdays beyond the contracted 236 days during any annual contract period, the Administrator shall be paid such additional days at his/her regular daily rate of pay.
 

Rationale:  Review the 2024-2025 beginning-of-year professional development, highlighting key successes and outlining next steps.

Rationale:  All bids are funded by CTE Grant received:
Robot Welder:  Funded at $87,550; Bid - $71,600
Simulator:  Funded at $74,689; Bid - $75,184
Stoves:  Funded at $63,612; Bid - $55,295
Recommend Vulcan stoves (rather than Imperial).
Vulcan has extended warranty, onsite-training, local customer service, and the stove is a part of their regular stock.  Imperial does not carry this stove, but remanufactures it from a different model.  
 

Rationale:  Attached is an 8 year historical view of our first day of school student enrollment.  Of note, growth at all buildings, specifically Patriot Elementary (56 Students) and Douglas Middle School (50 students)

Rationale:  The purpose of this informational reading is to present and familiarize stakeholders with updated Title IX policies in alignment with current best practices as outlined by the KSB. These updates are essential to ensure that our district remains compliant with federal regulations, promotes a safe and equitable educational environment, and upholds the rights of all students and staff.
These updated policies will replace our current policies ACAA, ACAA-R, ACAA-E(1), ACAA-E(2), and ACAA-E(3). This transition will streamline our approach, and ensure that we are operating with the most current and legally sound protocols. These updates will enhance transparency, support the well-being of all individuals within our district, and reinforce our commitment to a culture of respect and inclusion.

Rationale:  The summer project update will outline any impacts on school operations at the start of the academic year. Our goal is to complete all projects efficiently and effectively, with minimal disruption to the learning experience. We will highlight the district’s dedication to maintaining a high standard of educational facilities.

Rationale:  A unified MOU ensures that all SROs, regardless of their affiliation with either the Pennington County Sheriff's Office or the Box Elder Police Department, follow consistent guidelines, protocols, and expectations. This minimizes confusion and ensures that all officers are operating under the same framework.
