I am seeking approval of the Five Year Plan and Summer Projects as presented in the link above.
B. Approval of Vehicle Assessment Plan Motion
I am seeking approval of the Vehicle Assessment Plan as presented in the link above and also to seek proposals for a new Type II 4Passenger car, to include the tradein of the 2012 Ford Fusion.
I am seeking approval to have Dr. Kathleen Danielson present two 3hour sessions regarding writing instruction, at a total cost of $900. The presentations would take place on March 29, 2016 for the district’s Teacher Quality Professional Development day.
I am seeking approval for the amount indicated in the budget sheet not to exceed $425,000. Boards must approve preliminary funding the fiscal year prior to the programs being implemented. We will certify the budget less than that amount, but due to timelines, are requesting this amount be approved, until we get final approval from the DE for the programs we are submitting.
E. Approval of Contract with Drive Tek Motion
I am seeking approval to renew the contract for Driver Education Services with Drive Tek, to cover the time period of August 1, 2016 July 31, 2018.
