SCHOOL BOARD MEETING SYNOPSIS:
 
Mrs. Whitney has provided the following synopsis from last night’s school board meeting:
 
Approved the agenda, November regular meeting minutes, and the bills/financial report.  A spreadsheet was shared with the board on general fund revenues and expenditures in light of receiving opt-out funds this year.  It was noted that as of November 30 that we are still using $80,931.92 of the reserves this year even with the opt out.
 
John Bechen asked the school board to request having football practices in Woonsocket so that it would be more centrally located for all.
 
Mrs. Whitney presented a written report that included information on the end of the 2nd quarter/1st semester on December 21; semester test schedule; Christmas vacation schedule with staff returning on January 2 for in-service and regular classes resuming on January 3;  update on student at Children’s Home Society; information about the marching band equipment;  received a message from Ken Schlimgen of Central Electric that there is a rebate of $150 per unit for their mini-split air conditioning quote; and Terry Campbell from Tessier’s going to provide a quote for air conditioning options by the January board meeting.
 
Mrs. Vermeulen’s written report included information on the upcoming Extra Help Day; the future state testing information including having 7th and 8th math selected as part of a scientific pilot for the new Smarter Balance Assessment to be done this year; and that the 2014 DakotaSTEP testing will be online.
 
Discussion was held on whether or not our coaches had a rule in their pre-season information packets that are signed by players and parents that a parent cannot contact a coach within 24 hours after a game.  It was noted that some area schools have this rule to allow a cooling off period, but we do not.
 
Approved with regrets the resignation of Masey Pechholt and Dayna Tschakert as Co-Head Volleyball coaches; a vote for Neil Putnam as the Southeastern Region representative to ASBSD executive board; and paying for the remainder of our half of the marching band equipment from Capital Outlay after contributions from fund raisers, etc.
 
Adjourned at 7:38 p.m.
 
Next scheduled regular board meeting will be Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. in the school’s conference room.

REMINDERS:
 
From Mr. Kroeger: Due to more estimated events than expected causing students to miss lessons (weather, assemblies, myself not being present for extra music rehearsals and events), I have reduced the number of required lessons for this quarter from seven to five. Please check the Parent Portal to make sure your students are up-to-date on this. All missing lessons become a zero at the end of this week and can be made up by the end of next week. I will be updating the grade book at the end of the day.
