REPORTS & DISCUSSION
4.1
Race to the Top Update
Minutes
Dr. Jenney gave an update on the Race to the Top grant. Professional development on the new evaluation system is the next step.
Tonight is the first night to use BlueSky for meeting agenda and we excited to use so we can go to paperless board meetings. The agenda will be available to media and the public on Tuesday and will be taken down on Thursday afternoon to make any addendum changes.
4.2
High School Gymnastics Program
Minutes
Dr. Jenney discussed the options for a high school gymnastics program through OHSAA which can be run with a volunteer coach. The team would practice elsewhere and there would be no home meets. There are six students interested and also a volunteer coach interested.
The Board discussed that soccer could also be another option.
Additional updates:
Tomorrow there will be a posting for full time transportation secretary. There will be a recommendation in July for this position. We will also review transportation policy to possibly transport to one additional address if that address is eligible for transportation.
If the Board wants an issue on the November ballot two resolutions will need to be passed in July. Do we want to be on the ballot? The Board's consensus is that it is time so we can support students and staff. Resolutions for dual purpose and current expenses should both be presented for Board consideration.
Dr. Jenney distributed a summary of open enrollment queries of outgoing students' parents. It seems generally to be about convenience for parents.
4.3
One to One Technology Program Proposal
Minutes
Dr. Jenney reviewed her PowerPoint presentation which included purchasing iPads for students grades 3-5 and MacBook Air laptops for students grades 6-9.
After discussion, the Board believes that we need this project. It is a good opportunity for students and will be funded with construction funds.
Dr. Jenney will do a Connect Ed call to parents to tell that technology will be available next school year. Our objective is for Middle School to be ready at beginning of year and other schools will be brought on soon thereafter. There will be training for students and parents on how to use the equipment at home.
Communication with teachers and parents will be important for this program to succeed.
4.4
Stadium Facilities Discussion
Minutes
As a follow up to the walk through this spring, we may need a committee to review the facility as a whole. The visitor football bleachers are a concern and will get information on repair or replacement to present at the July 19 board meeting.
Brewer-Garrett Company looked at lighting in stadium to see if can get more efficient lighting.
We are requesting from Pioneer a quote for a ticket booth at stadium.
Brian Owens stated that an architect will review the press box and meet with Todd Eagle and himself. They may have donated labor for possible repairs.
Additional information:
Dr. Powell was asked for an update on the state report card. She stated there are gains in almost all areas and that they are waiting on graduation rate results, 11th grade results, comparables, and AYP scores. We are hopeful for good results and another excellent rating.
