Drost noted that, if the District were looking to develop the land by Garfield for houses, it would cost about $31,000 per lot to develop that area for 14 houses. Mr. Reiter took the floor to inform the Board on events and activities in the District.

Richardson introduced the agenda item regarding behavioral concerns and the Elementary School Handbook, noting that, previous to the meeting, several Board members toured the school to view the facility modifications made to accommodate discipline procedure changes. Drost cited that previously the High School had behavior issues that had been corrected and that the building of the Middle School tried to be defeated but wasnÕt. He noted how a number of students are attending other schools, and that one student doesnÕt have the right to disrupt the instruction of others, adding information from a parent e-mail he had recently received. He said that he wanted to see changes made, and moved that the Oskaloosa School Board direct the Superintendent to implement a discipline program at the Elementary and Middle School that requires any student that causes a classroom evacuation to leave the school for that day in the 2016-2017 school year, starting August 23, 2016, and that any classroom evacuation incident have the police called immediately for the safety of students and staff. Richardson stated that he had to follow the law on how agenda items were considered and that the motion was out of order.

Van Hulzen said that he didnÕt want to vote on it without having previous knowledge of the nature of the motion. Herr stated that she wants to have changes, and would also consider it at a future meeting. Parlett conveyed that, with the changes that have already been made, she wanted to think about the affects of the issue before considering a motion. Edgren commented that he is concerned, and wants assault handled by the authorities, but wished to be aware of the issue ahead of time. Reiter noted the improvements being made, including hosting parents, teachers, and the AEA in crafting the Handbook changes, adding special rooms in the buildings, and training teachers for behavioral situations. Herr added that she would like to see an agenda item at the next meeting regarding behavior issues. Drost reiterated that he wanted action on the current agenda and was led to believe that they would be able to act on his motion. Edgren and Parlett both said they want to process the implications and consequences of any changes to discipline procedures.
