September 11, 2017 at 7:10 PM - Board of Education Regular Meeting

This agenda contains a list of subjects known at the time of its distribution.  A copy of the agenda reflecting any changes will be available for public inspection during normal business hours in the District Office.  Except for items of an emergency nature, the agenda shall not be altered later than twenty-four hours before the meeting.  The Board reserves the right to alter the order of items, as it deems necessary.

Information concerning the Open Meeting Law, Chapter 84, Article 14 of Nebraska State Statutes, is posted on the bulletin board in the back of the meeting room.

This is the public’s opportunity to speak to items on the agenda. This is also the public’s opportunity to speak to any topic concerning the school district – since it is not an agenda item the board cannot discuss or take action on the matter at this time. Future discussion can be requested as an agenda item. To be recognized, all participants must complete the Request to Address the Milford Board of Education Form. No complaints regarding specific staff members will be heard during a public meeting. The District has established separate procedures for complaints against individual employees. Thank you for your participation.

We will be approving minutes for the August 21st regular meeting and the August 28th special meeting.

We currently have 84 optioning into the district and 40 out for a net gain of 44 students.

This is our first update of the year.

Dave, Brandon and I walked the track with Sam Fisher from Fisher Track and we are waiting for a new bid.  Unfortunately, Lane 1 is causing us issues and safety concerns.  Sounds like our best option will involve grinding the current base up and re-compacting it to form a new base so we can install the new surface over the old compacted materials.  I will have Dave share what was discussed.

Open discussion as needed.

 I will fill in the Tax Request Resolution at the end of the meeting and have Larry sign it.  This is sent into the State.

Executive Session is not requested at this time.

The Board of Education reserves the right to enter into Closed/Executive Session for 1) the protection of the public interest, or 2) the prevention of needless injury to the reputation of an individual, and/or the individual has not requested a public meeting. When making a motion to enter into Closed/Executive Session, the member making the motion should be as specific as possible as to the reason(s) for executive session.

The Board President will restate the reason for Closed/Executive Session after the motion has been acted on.

We will need to act on the start time of the October regular meeting if we decide to change it due to the JV Football game that begins at 6:00 p.m.
