BOE Meeting Summary - September 12, 2005

September Memo to Staff

 

TO:                  All Staff of USD #333

FROM:            Bev Mortimer

DATE:            September 13, 2005

RE:                  Board Meeting Synopsis

 

  • Air Conditioning/Facilities-Eric Johnson

Eric Johnson reviewed with the board the phases that the district would need to take to consider air conditioning the high school.  It was the consensus of the board to allow Campbell and Johnson to work with Karl Stricker to draw up a request for proposal for mechanical engineer services to determine the capacity of the electrical supply at the high school and to layout a plan to accomplish the air conditioning over several phases. 

 

Eric is also working on cost estimates for the district and city to add "Niagara Street" by CES.  When the drawings were completed for CES there was to be a street just west of the playground on the west side of the school (before the drainage ditch) that would allow for the loading of buses.  This would then allow parents to pick students up both in front and behind the school. 

  • Transportation Costs

Supt. Mortimer and Dannie Kearn reviewed the current bus fleet and bus routes with the board.  Discussion also included field/activity trips, students riding the buses which are not funded (under 2.5 miles, or do not have an IEP, or are not grant funded), and activity buses that are run after athletic practices.  At this time, the administration will continue to watch transportation costs but no drastic cuts will be made.

  • KASB Regional Meeting/Community Meetings/Convention

Jolene Kindel and Pat Murk will attend the KASB fall regional meeting in Osborne on October 6th.  Jolene Kindel, Wanda Backstrom and Supt.
