December 9, 2024 at 7:00 PM - Regular Meeting

Rationale: 

Public Participation at Board of Education Meetings:

BOE Policy/Regulation #2009 outlines the parameters of public participation at Board meetings concerning items on the agenda as well as those not on the agenda.  A copy of this policy is available in the Superintendent’s office and at each monthly Board meeting.

Rationale:  Mrs. Kelsey Sindt graduates December 13, 2024.  She will transition from being employed as a para / student teacher to a certified full time teacher.

Rationale:  Critical Response Group (CRG) is a vendor who has done a lot of work around the country in some pretty interesting applications for mapping buildings and areas.  I listened to a presentation that they gave at a recent ESU 11 meeting and was very impressed by their process and the maps that they had created for other schools and organizations.  The maps would have many purposes to better communicate details about our buildings and grounds, but the primary focus of their work is to enable better communications between first responders and school officials in the case of an emergency.  Their entrance into the Nebraska market comes as a result of grant funding that the legislature provided this last session to the tenue of $500,000.  The problem is......over $2,000,000 has already come in through the application process.  They will probably allocate more money for things like this in the future, but I did ask for a quote regarding what it would take to do the work now.  That quote came back at $3,797.  I placed this on the agenda as an action item in case you want to take action.

Rationale:  We have received a mid-year update on required policies from KSB.  I have attached the red-line version as well as the clean version of what we will need to adopt on first reading.  I have also attached a memo from KSB providing some details.

Rationale:  Harley, Lori and I had 3 great days in Omaha at the NASB Conference.  I think we all found information that was helpful to each of us, as well as enjoying some great motivational speakers on Thursday.  I will have a report to deliver orally and will invite Harley and Lori to add their thoughts as well.

Rationale:  I have attached an updated agreement notice from KSB for any other services they provide.  No need for any action here, just wanted you to be aware of what the updates are....especially in pricing.

Rationale:  I have attached the email flyer I received about the conference for your review.  If we want to attend, we probably need to decide soon so that we can get lodging arrangements.

Rationale:  We created an additional calendar for Marci, Jan, Christie and Shelley for me that indicates which days I am scheduled to be on campus, work from home, or on vacation.  By the end of December, I will have worked a total of 110 contract days.  If you have any questions, please let me know.
