VII. Old Business:   

1. Financial Data From Quinton Shepherd:  Quinton Shepherd put together
some spread sheets to show how our teacher's salary schedule looks compared to about 40 schools in the area.  He discussed how the salary schedule is set up to pay for years not working toward a masters.  I will have some handouts for those who missed the meeting.

2.   RFP - Performance Contracting:  We have had several companies come
through the building to look at all aspects of the facility and what they feel can or should
be done to improve the working environment. Tomorrow Doug will open the proposals &
then we will sit down as a committee and look at all of them.  The committee will then 
decide to pick a company and we will work with them on the improvements you want to
do. We need to decide on a date to meet. 

3.  Transportation For Special Ed Student:  There are two people who are willing to
drive their vehicle to pick up the student.  However, they have to have a bus license
to be able to do that.  So Doug is helping them to get their license.

     
VIII. New Business:

1. Ideal Fence:  We needed to fix the backstop on the playground and Doug got
two bids to fix it.  You can see from the two sheets that Ideal Fence was the
lowest and so we had it fixed.  I forgot to inform you of it at the special meeting we
had when Quinton was here. 

2. Technology Plan Approved for 3 Years:  The plan has been approved so we are
good for another three years. 

3. NIA Amended Articles of Agreement:  The Board has to approve the articles of
agreement.  This organization provides services that our coops cannot get employees for.  The specific help is hired on an hourly basis. 

It was moved by Ms. Hardt and seconded by Ms. Probasco to accept the NIA Articles of
agreement.
