Summary
Dr. Block reported on upcoming events and training, and described House Bill 1262, which requests $2,000,000 in one-time startup funds for a children's home society day program in Aberdeen; the board received the update.
Dr. Block delivered the superintendent's report, updating the board on athletics, in-service training and recent legislative activity affecting the district.
Dr. Block said the boys' team is "qualified for the so x 16, which is tomorrow night," and noted there are fan buses available for the game. He recounted a referee's complimentary voicemail about Webster players and fans that was played at a recent pep rally and thanked the community for strong turnout and student support.
On professional development, Dr. Block said the district has an in-service scheduled for March 20 that will include crisis prevention and de-escalation training for select staff and that CPR/AED training coordination is being explored with community partners.
On legislative matters, Dr. Block said he attended Perkins training required for the consortium and reported there may be a possible 1.4% funding increase (advocates are seeking 1.5%). He also described House Bill 1262, introduced by Lana Greenfield, which requests $2,000,000 in one-time startup funds for a children's home society day program to be housed in Aberdeen. Dr. Block said the bill passed a committee by recorded margins and had favorable action in appropriations in committee.
The board received the superintendent's updates; no formal board action on the legislative items was recorded in the transcript.
