6.1. Superintendent
Discussion:
Policies that need to be addressed in the June meeting will be the Student Fees Policy and the Parental Involvement Policy. We are in our 2nd year of our math transition, Mr. Hoesing expressed his gratitude to the teachers involved. School lunch prices to be approved in June meeting. End of year reporting completed with exception of ILCD. Mrs. Smith is updating all records in the office. Mr. Hoesing provided updates on summer staff and student activities. Drivers Education will be hosted by Wausa this summer with Mrs. Plumbtree as the instructor. Board of Education retreat needs to be scheduled to take place this summer before the new school year. Mr. Hoesing asked the Board to be thinking about what needs to be discussed and addressed at this retreat. Otto Woockman stated he feels that the Board needs to address the issue of parents combating school staff, teachers, coaches, etc. rather than them supporting the staff. He doesn't feel all parents do this but wants the staff to be respected and supported. Today Wausa Public School had their first active shooter training and Mr. Hoesing wants to thank the Knox County Sherrif's Office, the Wausa Fire and Rescue and the Safety Committee at school for their involvement in making this a success.
