The school district’s safety and security environment was discussed. Superintendent Dr. Embray led off the discussion outlining components of the district’s three major safety and security pillars. The pillars are
1. Exterior &Interior Facility Hardening; 2. Staff and Student Training; and 3. Preemptive Mental Health Supports. Representatives from the Glenwood Police Department and Mills County Sheriff Department attended and participated in the discussion.
The upcoming vote to extend the Revenue Purpose Statement (RPS) to 2051 was discussed. The BOE reviewed the RPS communication roadmap and additional information that will be communicated.
The district has developed a webpage on the district’s website specifically for the RPS. The RPS provides a vital revenue source to support school infrastructure, improving school safety &security, providing technology that directly benefits students and providing property tax relief. The district’s programming supported by the RPS also provides Glenwood and Mills County with a vital community infrastructure component that benefits continued economic development, growth, and success.
An additional item discussed was providing a background story summarizing the district’s evolving master facility plan that has been impacted by numerous external environmental issues since establishment including but not limited to the Covid 19 pandemic, the upcoming closure of the GRC and ongoing evaluation of long-term district facility requirements to deliver high quality education to all GCSD students.
As there was no further business to come before the Board at this time, a motion was made by J Zak and seconded by K Stewart to adjourn the meeting at 9:09 p.m. All voted “aye”. Motion carried.
