Board reviews several noncontroversial items: supplements, daycare leases, summer programming and nutrition bids
Summary
The board discussed adding an elementary student‑council supplement to its list of paid supplements, considered a local independent daycare's interest in leasing school space under new state law, reviewed summer program enrollment and asked for a nutrition bid renewal vote next week.
Several smaller agenda items were covered at the work session, ranging from supplemental pay for sponsors to a proposed independent after‑school program seeking to lease school space under new state law.
Supplements: Board members discussed a teacher proposal to add an elementary student‑council supplement to the district’s approved supplement list. Miss Bray said the district maintains an approved supplements schedule and that some activities (for example, ballgame duty) already receive compensation; she said the supplements scale was developed previously and that coaches and staff historically updated it. The board asked staff to provide the list of currently approved supplements and the method for awarding them so members can consider whether to add student council and other activities.
Daycare/lease (Crossroads Academy): The board heard from staff that a privately operated program, Crossroads Academy, served families this year at a local church and now seeks to lease “unutilized” school space under new state law that allows independent daycares to lease unused school property. Staff said the group is licensed and has worked with district buses for drop‑off and pick‑up in the prior year; the board asked for clarification of what qualifies as “unutilized space” given the district’s limited unused facilities.
Summer programming and nutrition procurement: Staff reported summer school enrollment totals at Brown and Stone (about 182 and 197 students as of the start of the program) and said state funding covers supplies, curriculum resources, transportation and staffing. The board was told that the annual school nutrition non‑food supply and service bid renewal will be brought for approval at the next regular meeting and that staff requested the board approve the district’s bid packet next Thursday.
Ending: Staff will provide the board with the supplements schedule and documentation on the Crossroads Academy request and will seek board approval of the nutrition bid packet at the next meeting. Board members asked staff for written policies and lists before taking final votes.
