Background: Repairs to the ORI chiller have not been successful. The unit is in need of replacement. The bid from Tin Men Mechanical, L.L.C. for $85,000 is recommended.
D. Reject Bid for Camdenton Middle School Locker Replacement
Background: We received a bid for locker replacement at Camdenton Middle School. Unfortunately, this bid was substantially over what has been budgeted. We had budgeted $35,000. We believe we may be able to find a better option through further research. We are suggesting a rejection of this bid.
E. Stipend for Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCCs)
Background: District Speech/Language Pathologists have asked for their National Certification to receive a stipend similar to National Board Certification for teachers. After researching this issue, CCCs are viewed in the same manner as National Boards in other districts. Administration recommends a similar $1,200 annual stipend for full-time Speech/Language Pathologists who possess an active CCC certification. This stipend would be paid annually in July as is the case with National Board Certification.
F. Set Facilities Rental Fees
Background: Pursuant to Board policy, the District’s rental fee schedule must be reviewed on a yearly basis. At this time administration recommends no changes in the fee schedule.

Background: Information regarding Journeys spelling for K-2 and Journeys materials for 4th grade will be viewed. District K-2 staff believes, after using Journeys this year, its spelling resources help to support their curriculum better than Spelling Connections. Administration is recommending the Board approve the utilization of Journeys K-2 for spelling. Also, since Journeys was approved K-3 last year, some 4th grade teachers piloted the materials. The 4th grade team has expressed the desire to purchase these materials to support their efforts.
