A. Auxiliary Gym Discussion
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.
