APPROVAL OF AGENDA / MINUTES OF MEETINGS: Motion by Dunham, second by Cogdill, to approve the agenda as published and minutes from previous meeting. Motion carried 7-0. PRINCIPALS’ REPORT: Mr. Weber reported on the following: Full day professional development consisted of Schoology training, PBIS updates/meetings, MTSS/STAT meetings and Personalize PD; Heartland Humane Bat Removal has been successful in getting rid of the bats; Parent/Teacher conferences will be remotely this fall and Elementary will not be hosting the annual Veterans’ Day celebration or in-person winter concert this year. Buena Vista has contacted the school about student teachers. SUPERINTENDENTS’ REPORT: Angie Radloff, Athletic Director, talked about the baseball/softball evaluations, junior high coaching positions and no information has been received from the Athletic Association regarding basketball. She stated that approximately 20-22 boys signed up for junior high basketball. Discussion followed. Mr. Brosamle reported on the following: Teachers really appreciate the early out days on Wednesday; Professional Development Day was approximately the same as the Elementary; Teachers will be contacting parents about Parent/Teacher Conferences; Fall and Winter concerts have been canceled, Mr. Schauer will check into recording legalities; approximately thirty nine students took the ACT’s at our school; Cross Country meet along with the Rolling Valley Conference Meet was held at Dunlap; Volleyball Tournament game and the last Junior High Football game is being played tonight. Thanks to the Dunlap Lumber and Supply for donating a large box of disinfecting wipes. DISCUSSION ITEMS: Enrollment: Mr. Brosamle presented the Certified Enrollment form that was sent to the state. Certified enrollment decreased by 15 students and decreased by 27 for educated students. Some of the change is due to COVID that some parents decided to home school. Early Retirement: Mr. Brosamle informed the board that last year the district offered Early Retirement with the qualifications of age 55, 15 years of continuous service and one lump payment of $50,000 on July 20, 2020. A letter has to be submitted to the Superintendent stating the intent that they are retiring at the end of their contract by March 1. No letters were received. According to our School Attorney it is not a good practice to offer early retirement every year. Approximately four teachers would qualify if the policy was offered.
