Board approves consent items, summer IREAD programs and a Policy Analytics contract
Summary
The Culver Community Schools board approved the consent agenda, summer school IREAD proposals for second- and third-grade remediation, and a forecast contract with Policy Analytics (initial $10,000) to aid referendum planning; all recorded votes were unanimous (5-0).
At its special meeting, the Culver Community Schools board approved routine consent items and two action items: summer IREAD programs for second and third graders and a contract for forecasting analytics to support referendum planning.
Consent agenda: The board approved the agenda, March 2 minutes, payroll vouchers and financials for February, field trips, professional leaves, the retirement of a language facilitator (Ruth Stoyan), spring coach and interpreter assignments, a resignation (Cara Head) and contract updates for spring teachers. The board also accepted two donations: US Metals ($1,000) and Fluance ($500). The consent motion passed 5-0.
Summer IREAD programs: Administrators proposed summer reading interventions required by improvement plans for second- and third-grade IREAD; a motion to approve the summer school proposals carried 5-0.
Policy Analytics contract: The administration proposed contracting with Policy Analytics for forecasting (an initial $10,000 fee with estimated additional hourly charges of $10,000–$15,000) to model 10-year impacts of Senate Bill 1, changes in property assessments and tax-rate effects ahead of a November referendum. Staff indicated referendum funds could pay the cost. The board approved the contract 5-0.
