Miss Boggs, the high-school broadcasting instructor, and students Brecken and Connor described starting the program \"from ground zero,\" learning Daktronics software with vendor support and producing hype videos and player features used on the gym\u000board. The students helped set up equipment, trained on back-end software and, during basketball season, worked a rotation of games so each student gained hands-on experience operating graphics and cues during live events.

Nut graf: Staff said the project is an applied-learning opportunity that teaches technical production skills while increasing in-game engagement for the school community. Students reported that producing green-screen player features and running game-day graphics has deepened their interest and sharpened practical skills.

What students and staff told the board
- Implementation: Miss Boggs said district staff and a Daktronics technician provided initial training; students then learned by practice and iteration.
- Workflow: Students produced green-screen player features and team hype videos, coordinated with coaches for player availability, and staffed games with assignment rotations so most students operated board graphics at least once.
- Plans: The program plans a formal \"media day\" next year (during school hours) to capture multiple backdrops and standardized shots to reduce off-hours work and increase content quality.

The board praised the students and encouraged the program\fontinuation; administrators said the class experience supports career-readiness and local community engagement.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","USD 345 April 2025 Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Seaman High School broadcasting students described how they learned Daktronics software, produced player\u000feature and \"hype\" videos for basketball, and operated the gym video board at games; the program will run a dedicated media day next year to capture content for more sports.","taxTitle","Seaman USD 345, School Boards, Kansas","taxId",66946,"location","Kansas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6604528,"District—arly-childhood evaluation: preschool services cost about $600K net; high measurable outcomes reported for MELC attendees",160,6540000,6700000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2987727-a842ddcfb53b98146fe84d932c978c07&start=6540&end=6700","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2987727-a842ddcfb53b98146fe84d932c978c07/thumbnail_6540000.jpg","/articles/6604528/Kansas/Districtarly-childhood-evaluation-preschool-services-cost-about-600K-net-high-measurable-outcomes-reported-for-MELC-attendees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6604528-6cb6d83bb7c3953d622c827bd661504a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771122017&Signature=SFpaJbnqDbehOhf~YIg3H9Fd4TvtDrGGcQbZjInqCP-QAh7rKB0OBEAantxVsAVCGm0yrw0McpOwUu0SJddmggBM-4h1xz7x4slI5M6Mij8xKuX~xT1zXbe2PxWEmXFGXY94bRBZNqdqJ22sIEQEdMhCgdHYpqlPWJ0kYJGEVrFtSfM0SNNleUGwNG5UGDj6CCy08i6ROOPslKI1t-lHtpjUSMeH4tLkVmZPFMez0GrSfUSItYwmdmYCX2TCnpLCObUz~ElGbOJmvzBru5D8VuZpU~oYpQ2i7tTe-5UkcpZlK8kqWs~KTA-zLCdFqm37Xb-mC5SBMpGUHbeXqLBz8w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District staff presented an evaluation of Seaman USD 345\u000early-childhood programming at the April 14 board meeting, reviewing program structure, cost and outcome measures for the Preschool/MELC (multi-entry early childhood) program.

The review showed the preschool program receives about $1.2 million in direct revenues while spending about $1.77 million on operations (figures presented by program staff), yielding a net district-subsidized cost of roughly $600,000 in the year examined. Staff described the program as serving three groups: children with disabilities (Part C to Part B transitions and IEP services), at-risk students funded by public grants, and community-based slots. The evaluation included attendance, screening and outcome measures.

Nut graf: Program staff emphasized measurable benefits — for example, strong end-of-year literacy and numeracy rates in the four-year-old classes, high satisfaction measures and a 94% satisfaction rate reported from graduate follow-up data for concentrators. Staff also highlighted that the district accepts Part C (TARP) referrals and evaluates children as they turn three; the transition process to Part B services was described as functioning smoothly in the district.

Key program findings and next steps
- Budget: Annual preschool revenues ~$1.2M vs. expenditures ~$1.77M; net district subsidy roughly $600K (transportation, facilities and central costs may be out of scope for the presented figure). Staff said that funding patterns reflect program priorities and the cost of specialized services.
- Outcomes: Staff reported high rates of readiness and proficiency measures among preschool attendees; example figures presented included a strong percentage of children meeting literacy/numeracy metrics at year-end for the classes sampled.
- TARP/Part C transition: Program staff said evaluations and transitions for children moving from Part C to Part B services are functioning well and that the district tracks referrals and eligibility evaluations.
- Action steps: Staff recommended continued investment, targeted professional development, consideration of program structural adjustments (including potential specialty classrooms if enrollment of higher-need children continues to grow), and sustained recruitment/retention efforts for early-childhood paraprofessionals and teachers.

The board received the evaluation and asked for follow-up data to be included in future planning, including updated December 1 counts and any proposed changes to program structure for the coming school year.","A program evaluation of the district\u000early-childhood offerings showed total preschool revenues of roughly $1.2 million against expenditures of about $1.77 million, producing an approximate $600,000 net program cost; program staff highlighted strong outcomes for attendees and recommended continuing and refining services.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6604533,"Auditor—inds district generally compliant under Kansas regulatory basis but flags activity/agency fund controls",1228,2432000,3660000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2987727-a842ddcfb53b98146fe84d932c978c07&start=2432&end=3660","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2987727-a842ddcfb53b98146fe84d932c978c07/thumbnail_2432000.jpg","/articles/6604533/Kansas/Auditorinds-district-generally-compliant-under-Kansas-regulatory-basis-but-flags-activityagency-fund-controls","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6604533-23ac05c22290bd081b7034d8de5b8c88/orig.mp4?Expires=1771122017&Signature=ZuTip~jjWumq2iy08WD~cgC-ch~kvixvIduL8zlGRBidau~rBtVldH1SsEsm48Bzyv4oQfsogEWLTO4B77Vj7gp7PRS6CAMJNA0J4JmjfWP31HczvvUjnhciiD7BA5bnrdZngxXZkAmfT~fFEJkBW9~nAVkQjZthBTHrXucj49nOXjvSxp7H9Py~38fdHNFxfb8e7qZek-u-rRxdKahxNaF3Xvq~HVF8RzyDd0VwAZc6i1qrt2UjKFahaKvALRDlqggJ9ihbtUJoC8k--TYak9Q48VyUgW7-rEmQUotjqNN0vLmQPgF8asCAKxGNftAE8qxZ5QNeO7mnP3kUSeZAYA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","External auditors presented the 2023–24 fiscal-year audit to the Seaman USD 345 board on April 14, telling trustees the district received an unmodified opinion under the Kansas regulatory (cash) basis of accounting while the audit report also noted a significant internal-control deficiency tied to activity and agency fund receipts.

The audit team explained that the district does not prepare GAAP-based financial statements; instead, Kansas school districts follow the state\fash-basis/regulatory accounting rules. Under that regulatory basis, the auditors said the district\u000financial statements were materially accurate — commonly described as an unmodified or \"clean\" opinion for the regulatory basis. The auditors also reviewed federal programs and reported no findings for the major federal programs tested (Title I and special education).

Nut graf: The single notable internal-control finding involved incomplete documentation for activity and agency cash receipts held at school buildings and in student groups. Auditors said building staff did not consistently issue pre-numbered receipts and reconcile receipts to deposits; that shortcoming was flagged as a repeat finding but management presented an action plan and said training and mandatory receipt books have been issued.

What auditors told the board
- Opinion: Adverse opinion relative to GAAP (because the district does not prepare GAAP statements) but an unmodified opinion on the Kansas regulatory basis of accounting.
- Internal controls: No material weaknesses were reported, but 1 significant deficiency was identified related to activity/agency fund receipts and documentation.
- Federal programs: Major programs tested (Title I; special education) yielded unmodified reports and no federal findings.
- KPERS disclosure: The audit included a standard disclosure of the district
llocation of the state pension system (KPERS) net pension liability; auditors noted the statewide shortfall amount disclosed to districts for informational purposes.

District response and next steps: The business office reported it has issued pre-numbered receipt books to buildings, provided training to building staff and drafted a corrective-action plan that the auditors included in the audit package. Auditors said the issue had improved compared with the prior year but still requires consistent practice across all buildings; the district pledged to continue working toward full compliance.

Provenance (excerpted evidence in the transcript): auditors identified the regulatory-basis opinion and then reviewed the schedule of funds and the significant deficiency related to agency funds and receipts.

Board context: Trustees discussed the corrective steps and asked for additional detail on the early-retirement payout schedule and how the district accounts for those future payment obligations in the regulatory-basis statements. The auditor explained those amounts are disclosed but not shown as a GAAP liability under Kansas law.","District auditor reported an unmodified opinion on the Kansas regulatory basis of accounting, noted one significant deficiency relating to activity/agency fund receipts and disclosed the district\fapacity to track KPERS pension exposure; management presented a corrective-action plan.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6604538,"Seaman USD 345 board issues nonrenewal notice, approves curriculum and multiple facility and purchase bids",6014,210000,6224000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2987727-a842ddcfb53b98146fe84d932c978c07&start=210&end=6224","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2987727-a842ddcfb53b98146fe84d932c978c07/thumbnail_210000.jpg","/articles/6604538/Kansas/Seaman-USD-345-board-issues-nonrenewal-notice-approves-curriculum-and-multiple-facility-and-purchase-bids","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6604538-b03ba9fbf0835f25494b28e4c0dba5e9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771122017&Signature=ITLOa4gw9VQpINuJ1qHgS2~TZI-B1hWsPMhLJWgqjb205ilpqmgJREXEqYqGeJoJ7S-bZkdsNN00AWLw9oWybj4tDcFa2yIdiDPJvD70LhtHbfphGocVgKtDBR5kDE~2bsYx3Z2KglCKA9Y1fDlCMPw4E2SqhM9yOqUj~CiNU0q-JoqaMFbgDGYQdbWNK2NpA4ArksSmVJBEW84jQu8cHMYH5U-uPp0g7tf6Bp-D7MT4vfMULnEPLO1CxY490QuywWo8XJmDUayh49M8Ogd~yG45mXMw-RIqrQYqmm4T1N96Egbg7AwlsYuyC0Lg9wjwt0ok4ISHxqnOkQCunYgcCw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Seaman USD 345 Board of Education on April 14 voted to issue written notice of intent to nonrenew a teacher contract and approved a package of operational and instructional items, including curriculum adoptions, building and maintenance contracts, and technology purchases.

The board read and approved a resolution declaring its intent to nonrenew the teaching contract of Lisa Spurlock and directed the clerk to deliver written notice on or before May 16, 2025. The resolution was adopted following a roll-call-style confirmation; three board members who were named on the record indicated approval during the roll call.

Why it matters: The nonrenewal notice formally begins a statutory process that provides an employee with notice and an opportunity to respond under state law. The other routine approvals move forward planned capital maintenance and instructional purchases described in the district’s budget and work plans.

Key votes and outcomes (summary)
- Resolution: Intent to nonrenew the contract of Lisa Spurlock (Resolution 04142025). Outcome: Approved. Clerk directed to give written notice on or before 2025-05-16. (Roll-call confirmations recorded on the transcript for named board members; final signature and delivery to occur.)
- Curriculum adoptions: Board approved four curriculum purchases presented by the teaching-and-learning director: elementary social studies, high-school U.S. history, AP-level history content, and two CTE agriculture textbook options. Outcome: Approved by voice vote.
- Assessment/benchmarks: The district presented a proposal to move to FastBridge as a single prescriptive benchmark system (pre-K–12) and estimated multi-year savings; that item was presented and discussed but no formal vote to adopt was recorded in the transcript.
- Facility and supply contracts: The board awarded multiple purchase orders and construction/maintenance contracts including: transportation overhead doors, district paper supply, flooring work, painting projects and smart classroom displays. Outcome: Each award was approved by voice vote; specific contract amounts were read into the record.
- Nonresident attendance capacity: The board accepted recommended nonresident attendance capacities for the 2025–26 school year and directed the administration to publish the capacities as required. Outcome: Approved by voice vote.
- Enrollment/demographic study: The board approved an initial enrollment analysis (demographic/budget study) to be supplied by a consultant; the board limited the scope to an initial enrollment analysis rather than a full facility-level study. Outcome: Approved.

Votes-at-glance — selected motions and disposition (transcript-sourced summaries)
- Adopt agenda as presented: voice vote; motion moved and seconded; motion carried (no numeric tally in transcript).
- Approve disposition of business by consent: voice vote; motion carried.
- Accept audit presentation (auditor’s report presented): informational; auditors presented findings and a corrective action plan; board accepted the report.
- Approve overhead doors (Transportation building): awarded to Heartland Door & Window (amount stated in packet). Outcome: Approved by voice vote.
- Approve paper products vendor (Clayton Paper & Inc.): approved by voice vote.
- Approve flooring contract (Hall Floor): approved by voice vote.
- Approve painting contract (AB Painting): approved by voice vote.
- Approve smart classroom displays (state contract purchase for middle school): approved by voice vote.
- Approve curriculum adoptions (four items): approved by voice vote.
- Approve nonresident attendance capacities: approved by voice vote.
- Approve demographic/enrollment analysis (limited scope): approved.

Details and process notes: Most operational and procurement votes taken during the meeting were decided by the customary voice vote; the transcript records board leadership asking for “all in favor” and hearing “aye” but does not include a numerical roll-call tally for those items. The nonrenewal resolution was explicitly read into the record and the board recorded approval during a roll-call confirmation sequence; the clerk will deliver written notice as required by the resolution timeline.

What’s next: The clerk and administration will execute the mechanics of the approved contracts and the nonrenewal letter. Several capital projects (roofing work, HVAC controls, playground shade structures and the softball complex finish work) were described in the meeting as moving into summer construction; the demographic enrollment analysis will be scheduled with the consultant for delivery in the timeline discussed.
