The board meeting lasted just a little bit less than an hour today. It would have been even shorter if it weren't for a ten-minute punch and cookies break. The agenda had far fewer items than usual and so there's not a lot to report. The meeting was held in the high school auditorium and it was a little difficult to understand what was being said due to poor acoustics.
1. Closed Session - The board approved a contract with the Unrepresented Employees which includes a 5% raise (off-schedule, if I heard right) and a one-year increase in the benefits caps.
2. Mr. Olney gave out LOTS of volunteer certificates of recognition. He read off a few dozen names and those present received their certificate and a handshake from each member of the board and Mr. Olney. (Punch and cookies were served following this presentation.)
3. Superintendent's Report - Besides information on maintenance being done over the summer, the superintendent explained that Verizon is in the process of installing equipment that will deliver high speed internet to the district, which should be operational by July 1.
4. Public Comments - Ruthie Lancaster talked briefly about the Library/Swim program in which free swimming pool admission tickets are awarded to students for reading books.
5. Summer School - Summer session teaching assignments were approved. David Ok will teach at the elementary and Joseph Wolfe will teach at the high school. Jamie Gossett will work at the high school site as a paraprofessional.
6. 2013/2014 Budget - The board approved the budget for the 2013/2014 school year after Dawn McMillan presented a summary of projected expenditures and revenue covering the next three years.
