6.      OLD BUSINESS
 
A. Approval of Purchase of Suburbans
Motion 6.A.
This was an item that to my knowledge was tabled at a previous meeting. Now that the facility, grounds, transportation, technology plan has been discussed and agreed upon by Dave, Kyle, Shirley and myself, we feel confident that this is a wise purchase. I am seeking approval.
7.      NEW BUSINESS
 
A. Approval to Hire Engineering Firm to Design, Spec., and Bid Football Lights/Baseball Lights.
According to my conversations with Dave and Scott, the lights at our baseball and football field are in a very bad condition and could even be a safety issue. I am seeking approval to this firm to develop specs and bid information to seek new lighting at these two complexes.
B. Approval to Hire Engineering Firm to Design, Spec., Bid Renovation of Northeast Elementary Office
I am seeking approval to hire this firm to spec and develop bid information for the office renovation at Northeast Elementary.
C. Approval for Review of all Board Policies                                             Motion 7.C.
Enclosed you have two quotes from two organizations that do policy review and suggested revisions to board policies. We are in need of updating our board policies in totality and then annually we need to review policies that will get us through the entire policy book within a five year time frame. I am seeking approval to move forward with hiring one of these firms. Both are reputable.
D. Approval of Five Year Plan
Motion 7.D.
Dave, Kyle, Shirley and myself sat down and discussed the funding available for the projects we need to accomplish as well as planned out what we feel will need to be accomplished for each of the next five years. Due to things that come up each year, we will sit down and modify the plan annually, but will always be adding a fifth year to it.  Shirley and myself feel comfortable with reserving an amount that can be used should a catastrophic situation occur in our district that would need dollars available immediately. We feel this amount should be no less than $500,000.
E. Legislative Action Priorities
Discussion
I would like the board to engage in conversations as to which legislative priorities will be the ones that we will agree on send in to IASB.
F. Approval of Legislative Action Priorities

  2. Demonstrate confidentiality; work toward building trust both within the Board and with constituents.
  3. Adhere to Board Policies; if policy changes are needed, use established policy to make changes. Follow chain of command.
  4. Work harder to be informed – focus on Board development.

RAGBRAI SUPPORT LETTER
Motion 3.A.
Linda Washburn has requested that the School support efforts to bring RAGBRAI to Glenwood for 2011.  She is in need of a letter of support from the school district indicating that we support these efforts as well as pledge our facilities for use during RAGBRAI.  I do not know the history of this in our community.  I have been associated with the planning of an overnight stay for RAGBRAI as well as a pass through town.

FIBER OPTIC WIDE AREA NETWORK
Motion 4.A.
Technically the board has already approved this project, but we are sort of out of step with how we need to proceed with the project.  After hearing from our community on this project in the Public Hearing portion, the board may consider to move forward with the project or not. In the future we will ensure that the proper steps have been taken in the proper order. I am recommending approving the project based on the attached scope and specifications from the architect.  I would like to advertise for competitive bids to be opened prior to our August 9th Board meeting.

I am seeking approval to award the project to Communication Innovators Incoroporated in the amount of $85,239.56 to complete the fiber back bone project of our district.

J. Approval of Iowa School Employee Benefits Association Governmental Cooperation Agreement
I am seeking approval to enter into the new Agreement with ISEBA. After several months of study and on the advice of legal cousel, the Iowa Schools Employee Benefits Association Board of Directors has decided to reorganize ISEBA. It will now be an Iowa non-profit organization. ISEBA was originally organized as an association and the Iowa law does not recognize an association as a business entity. ISEBA will now be legally recognized as the Iowa School Employee Benefits Association, Inc. They are asking that all of their participants sign the new 28E Agreement in order to update their roster and to properly effectuate incorporation as a non-profit. 
 
K. Revenue Purpose Statement Discussion
I am seeking the board's discussion on the future of the Revenue Purpose Statement that is set to expire in 2013. Without a valid revenue purpose statement we will be forced to use 100% of all SILO funding to pay down debt. Once the debt has been paid the money received will be returned to Des Moines to be redistributed to other districts that have valid revenue purpose statments. This is not a taxing issue, rather a permission issue. It must be voted on by our constituents and have at least 50% plu one to be in place. The revenue purpose statements sunset in 2029. ​

I am requesting the board discuss the input that has been solicited from the parent survey that was sent last week as well as any other input that they have received regarding this project as well as information from the presentation given at our prior meeting concerning the possible addition of a gymnasium/locker rooms and expanded weight room.
 
B.
Auxiliary Gym
Should the board vote to approve moving forward, architects will need to be interviewed and hired and the revenue bonding process started.
Motion
C.
I am requesting approval of the Modified Allowable Growth Application for Dropout Prevention for the 2014­2015 school year.  This is not the final amount rather the funding amount that we can’t go over when we set our budget in the spring for FY 2015.
Motion
D.
Approval to use Electronic Signature
I am seeking approval for the High School Activities Director to add the Board President’s electronic signature to the scheduling software.  Doing so will allow for all contracts (games and officials) to have the signature of the Board President as well as the signature of the Activities Director when they are sent electronically to the other schools and officials.  Currently, in order to be compliant,  the AD prints the contracts and sends them to the Central Office to be stamped with the Board President’s signature.  Having the signature electronically will save time as well as paper.
Motion
 
I am seeking approval of the 2014­2015 Project Lead the Way Agreement for our PLTW classrooms.

  1. NEW BUSINESS
I am seeking discussion around the presentation that was given earlier.  Before we can proceed with this project it will need to have board approval.  I would suggest setting a fiscal limit for the project as well as consider a capital fund­raising drive to assist if possible.  While the funds we have in the SAVE fund could support a project of this size, we are going to be spread thin with other obligations on the monies.  I will be able to help answer questions about our ability financially to support the project
 
I am seeking approval of the SBRC Application for Open Enrollment Out in the amount of $138,023.
 
  1. Approval of Growth Plan Stipends
I am requesting approval of the Annual Growth Plan stipends for all administrators. All administrators have made growth on their plans and are on track to reach goal completion by the end of the year.
 
I am seeking Board discussion on the Retirement Incentive Policies for the 2013­2014 school year and the 2014­2015 school year for any possible changes. The incentive was set to zero for the 2015­2016 and subsequent years.  A plan incentive determined two years ago to be 80% of the current salary minus the base for certified staff and 38% of the salary for classified staff for this year and next year.
 
I am seeking approval of the Amendment to the Contract with Spiral Communications.  We are seeking approval to increase hours by 40/week 12 months a year for an additional $76,000.
 
I am seeking approval of the content of the 2012­2013 GCSD Annual Report.  I wish to thank all involved for putting together yet another wonderful report.  We continue to strive to improve our programs, with the mandate of No Child Left Behind coming to closure.  It is our hope that the Education Reform Act will be reauthorized and will include growth models.
 
I am seeking approval of the contract with Westside Community Schools for special education services.
 
I am seeking approval of the contract with Drive Tek for services related to driver education. Our current contract expires on July 31, 2014. The new contract calls for a fee of $350 per student (what is charged currently) for the first year (August 1, 2014­July 31, 2015) and then beginning August 1, 2015 the per student fee will increase $10 to $360 per student  The new contract would run from August 1, 2014 through July 31, 2016.
 
  1. Approval of Curriculum Coordinating Council Member
I am seeking approval of a new Curriculum Coordinating Council member, Elizabeth Mulkerrin (parent/community representative), to take the place of a parent/community representative who no longer wishes to serve.

  1. NEW BUSINESS
I am seeking discussion around the presentation that was given earlier.  Before we can proceed with this project it will need to have board approval.  I would suggest setting a fiscal limit for the project as well as consider a capital fund­raising drive to assist if possible.  While the funds we have in the SAVE fund could support a project of this size, we are going to be spread thin with other obligations on the monies.  I will be able to help answer questions about our ability financially to support the project
 
I am seeking approval of the SBRC Application for Open Enrollment Out in the amount of $138,023.
 
  1. Approval of Growth Plan Stipends
I am requesting approval of the Annual Growth Plan stipends for all administrators. All administrators have made growth on their plans and are on track to reach goal completion by the end of the year.
 
I am seeking Board discussion on the Retirement Incentive Policies for the 2013­2014 school year and the 2014­2015 school year for any possible changes. The incentive was set to zero for the 2015­2016 and subsequent years.  A plan incentive determined two years ago to be 80% of the current salary minus the base for certified staff and 38% of the salary for classified staff for this year and next year.
 
I am seeking approval of the Amendment to the Contract with Spiral Communications.  We are seeking approval to increase hours by 40/week 12 months a year for an additional $76,000.
 
I am seeking approval of the content of the 2012­2013 GCSD Annual Report.  I wish to thank all involved for putting together yet another wonderful report.  We continue to strive to improve our programs, with the mandate of No Child Left Behind coming to closure.  It is our hope that the Education Reform Act will be reauthorized and will include growth models.
 
I am seeking approval of the contract with Westside Community Schools for special education services.
 
I am seeking approval of the contract with Drive Tek for services related to driver education. Our current contract expires on July 31, 2014. The new contract calls for a fee of $350 per student (what is charged currently) for the first year (August 1, 2014­July 31, 2015) and then beginning August 1, 2015 the per student fee will increase $10 to $360 per student  The new contract would run from August 1, 2014 through July 31, 2016.
 
  1. Approval of Curriculum Coordinating Council Member
I am seeking approval of a new Curriculum Coordinating Council member, Elizabeth Mulkerrin (parent/community representative), to take the place of a parent/community representative who no longer wishes to serve.

            I am seeking approval of the Agreement with Medical Enterprises, Inc. for the district’s drug & alcohol testing services.

 

       B. Approval of New Special Education Deficit Amount                                                                                            Motion

             At this September 17, 2018 board meeting, the board approved the Special Education Deficit in the amount of $644,734.82. This week we received               word from the Department of Education that not all of our information had flowed through the reporting process correctly,  and after an                                 adjustment was made, I am seeking approval of an additional $123,422.77, or a total of $768,157.59. This will be the amount of allowable growth                  and  supplemental  aid that we are seeking for a negative special education balance.

         C.  Approval of Agreement with Environmental Energy Consultants, Inc.                                                               Motion

               I am seeking approval of the Agreement with Environmental Energy Consultants, Inc. to complete the district’s three-year AHERA asbestos re-                   inspection, at a cost of $1,050.00.

         D.  Approval of Glenwood Community School Foundation Grant Applications                                                        Motion

                Linked are the grant applications for the GCSF grants. The Foundation will award the grants after the Board has approved them and will contact                  those who have been awarded a grant.

        E.  Approval of SBRC Application for LEP Allowable Costs                                                                                      Motion
