Loading...
Summary
The Tomorrow River School District Board elected officers in its annual reorganization, approved multiple operational contracts including a gym-floor refinish and copier-lease with PaperCut secure printing, authorized assessment and contracted special-education services, and approved adding one kindergarten section for next school year.
Kelly Wilkin was selected as school board president during the board's annual reorganization, which also filled vice president, clerk and treasurer posts in roll-call and voice votes at the April meeting. The board took several operational votes and approved staffing changes affecting next school year.
In routine finance and operational actions, the board confirmed district depositories (International Bank of Amherst, Associated Bank, Local Government Investment Pool and EMA Financial) and designated the Stevens Plain Journal as the newspaper of record. The board approved a $20,007.09 quote to strip, sand and refinish the middle school gym floor and discussed a two-week downtime window for the work.
The board approved a new five-year copier lease and adoption of PaperCut secure-printing software to reduce waste and improve print security. District technology and service contracts with regional education service providers were approved: the CESA/CISA special-education services contract (CISA 5) and the CISA 10 technology consortium contract; staff noted a one-time rebate this year tied to consortium membership growth and said they will monitor grant outcomes before deciding on longer-term consortium participation.
Instructional and assessment items approved include a FastBridge universal screener purchase (math, reading and diagnostic modules) for $6,743.75, paid from building budgets, and authorization to add one kindergarten teacher/section to address projected enrollment and class-size guidelines.
Superintendent/administrative staff briefed the board that the district's five-year technology replacement draft projects significant Chromebook and infrastructure needs; staff will return a final plan for board action. The board also adopted technical policy changes (volume 35, number 1) and noted new timelines for digital-content accessibility compliance.
The board closed the meeting by listing future agenda items including a follow-up on proposed school-safety visitor/ emergency-management systems and the previously tabled cooperative sports agreements.
