REPORTS FROM ADMINISTRATORS AND COMMITTEES
Superintendent’s Report
Mr. Hanson asked if there were any questions on his report. Mr. Hunter requested an update on the energy savings report, with graphs. Mr. Hanson updated the Board on the settlement conference for the lawsuit, which was cancelled. BOCES expanded learning opportunities will be covered during the report on BOCES. There was a Strategic Plan Meeting where the topic was Curriculum maps and how to get them completed were discussed. Mr. Kloster asked if the Board could see one when they are completed.
K-12 Administrators’ Report
Mrs. Allen asked Mrs. Miller to talk about the Individual Career and Academic Plan. It is mandated by the state that we have an ICAP plan in place by the end of this year. The school is going to use College in Colorado’s as a resource for this plan. The Web site will help students decide what they want to do and how to go about it. Students from 6th grade up will begin using this resource before the end of this year. The goal is to create a portfolio which will help them achieve their goals and organize everything they do and collect it so it is all in one place. Chrissie is working on getting this to students this year, which is ahead of schedule. She also handed out a “Senior Checklist” which she is using with the seniors to help them organize and stay focused on what they need to get together for college or trade school.
Mrs. Allen reviewed the data she presented on Math. Next she will present writing data.
Business Manager Report
Mrs. Doudy had nothing new to report.
Accountability Committee
Mrs. Allen reported that the Accountability committee did meet for the first time this year. The Strategic Plan was discussed and another Meeting is scheduled for Dec 15 or 16.
BOCES Report
Mr. Hanson reported on the BOCES proposal for expanded educational opportunities for students online. It is still in the development/planning stage, but the BOCES board has given initial consent to proceed. Only students in the 9 districts will participate. The intent is to capture students who are not currently enrolled in a school. Mr. Hanson thinks it has some great potential for some students. Mr. Hunter asked how this is different from a Charter School and Mr. Boyer responded.

Mr. Hanson gave some background information to the Board. When Mrs. Hammons was hired she was given two directives: serve a nutritious meal and get the budget under control. Mr. Hunter attested that Mrs. Hammons has accomplished those tasks. The Board members asked some questions of Mrs. Hammons regarding portions, second helpings, and costs (food and labor).
