Van Hulzen and Richardson complimented the Vocal Department for the superior performances at the Madrigal. Drost said he was encouraged by the free discussions at the recent Board Worksession and hoped that the Administration and Board would continue to pursue those changes and discussions. Parlett asked that the survey and discussion results be displayed on the school website. Other Board members commented positively about the worksession discussions. Board members inquired about reading testing, fluency scores, Middle School tutoring, and the reduction of behavioral incidents at the Middle School. Drost and Parlett commented on the interaction among District groups that has been promoted by Dr. Prothero and her intentions of publishing a newsletter. Mr. Reiter took the floor to inform the Board on events and activities in the District. He began by stating that the Home School Assistance Program investigation is almost complete and he intends on making a recommendation in January. He also commented on possible timber thinning east of the campus, the softball diamond project, a recent Farm Bureau meeting, and his investigations into a solar energy project. An ad-hoc committee of Van Hulzen and Drost was formed to investigate possibilities for the timber project. The Board thanked Superintendent Reiter for his report. After Board questions regarding positive teacher training opportunities, Parlett moved to approve the Minutes, Financials, and Abstract of Claims as presented. Herr seconded and all voted in favor. Stacy Bandy, High School Principal, was in attendance to provide data to the Board, including statistics on the success of the MTSS period. He displayed a slide show that included data on post-secondary remedial classes for Osky graduates, ACT results over the last several years, National Student Clearinghouse data on college participation, and MTSS data on students receiving failing grades. The Board thanked Bandy for the update. Tyler Riley, Partner with FEH Architects, provided the Board with initial information on considerations for updating and fixing the High School gymnasium, including siding, insulation, and air conditioning. Drost noted that the next step would be to set goals, and then come to the Board with a preliminary design. An ad-hoc committee of Richardson and Drost were formed to help with the goals and design. The Board thanked Riley for the information. The High School Vertical Team came forward to convey the results of a recent survey as well as their discussions over the last several months regarding changes to the periods and terms used for scheduling at the High School. Board members asked about the proper length of class periods, inter-district sharing, and the effect on vocational courses. The Board thanked the group for their presentation. Vink provided information regarding the budget for the dropout prevention and at-risk programs and the associated request for a Modified Supplemental Amount. Mr. Reiter discussed the budget associated with the program and noted that the Board could decide later on taxing for the entire amount. Edgren expressed that he wanted to ensure that it was effective. Drost conveyed his desire for the Board to specifically act on taxing for this portion. Van Hulzen moved to approve the At-Risk/Dropout Prevention budget in the amount of $530,555 and request the School Budget Review Committee for Modified Supplemental Amount for Dropout Prevention in the amount of $336,220. Parlett seconded and all voted in favor. Kim Gile, Student Council sponsor, requested permission to take several Student Council members to the National Conference out of state.
