B. FOOD SERVICES REPORT & APPROVE FOOD SERVICE GUIDELINES
Background: Dawn has completed her annual report and evaluation on the Food Services Department. The Board will review Eligibility Guidelines, Meal Price History, Price Comparison, and the Profit and Loss Statement. Free and reduced breakfast and lunch guidelines should be approved annually. The Board will be asked to consider keeping our breakfast and lunch prices the same as last year.
C. NEW PERFORMANCE BASED TEACHER EVALUATION
Background: Dr. Rich will present a new PBTE. After a year's worth of study, review, revision, considerable discussion, deliberation, and hard work, the PBTE committee would like to recommend new teacher evaluation documents (formative and summative) to be used for the pilot year of 2011-2012. A few select teachers will be asked to consider volunteering for the pilot program and would then utilize these evaluation documents.
D. ADOPT ANNUAL/PERPETUAL CALENDAR
Background: The Board will be presented a proposed Annual/Perpetual Calendar for their consideration. This schedule will help the Board plan for District needs and also help the Board monitor District programs. The calendar would also assist the District in meeting the expectations of AdvancED.
E. REVIEW POLICY JGA, CORPORAL PUNISHMENT
Background: Due to the Districtโs non-use of corporal punishment (at the May Board meeting) MSBA would like the District to adopt a new policy JGA which states that the District will not utilize corporal punishment. MSBA believes this will better keep the District in line with state statute.
F. TUITION RATE
Background: The Superintendent has completed DESEโs tuition worksheet. Based on this calculation the basic tuition rate for Elementary/Intermediate schools is $8,322.53. The Middle School/High School rate is $9,256.11. Based on Board action last year, administration recommends an elementary (K-6) tuition for students in the amount of $8,300 and a secondary (7-12) tuition for students in the amount of $9,200, and continue the โgrandfatheredโ status of students who were previously grandfathered but at an adjusted rate of an additional $500 for the 2011-2012 school year. This is for information purposes only this month. Currently only two students in the District would be paying tuition on the grandfathered status. Other tuition-paying students have either graduated or have moved into the District. Last year grandfathered students paid an additional $500.
G. SCHEDULE BOARD RETREAT
Background: Last year the Board participated in a Board retreat facilitated by MSBA. Administration would like to gauge the Boardโs interest in having another retreat to help establish priority areas for the foreseeable future. This sort of visioning activity can help District efforts with a number of items discussed over the previous year. It has been suggested to possibly utilize October 25th as a worksession for the Board. This would be the regularly scheduled second Board meeting date of the month.
VIII. BOARD PRESIDENTโS WRAP-UP
Background: This is an opportunity for the Board to report on upcoming meetings, meetings attended, registrations, and deadlines.
