2.B. Truth in Taxation - L4029 (Debt Levy Update)
Description:
During 2021-2022 the District will levy 3.86 mills on all property for purposes of debt retirement. This is a reduction in the number of mills levied in previous years. The District, through sound financial practices, has been able to maintain this levy without an increase for several years. The District will also levy 17.1219 mills operating level for local businesses due to the current year Headlee Amendment millage there is a reduction fraction of .09791. If there is an additional Headlee Rollback next year, we may have to levy less than the full operating millage for the 2022/2023 school year unless we have a successful operating millage election during the August 2021 election. |

2.F. Approval of Food Service Proposal - Wilkinson Middle School
Description:
Wilkinson Middle School Kitchen’s Food Service Line is more than 25-30 years old and is no longer repairable. The temperature control is no longer working properly to ensure temperatures for the hot meals stay at a consistent temperature of 165 degrees. The cold well for salads, subs, fruits and sandwiches does not work at all, so there is no way to keep the cold foods cold. Failure to address these issues in a timely manner may significantly impact our ability to stay in compliance with the Michigan Health Department Guidelines.
For the Bid Process, we approached the CoPro Plus Food Service Equipment bid program. Attached is a letter from Mr. Wolford, Wayne RESA, Food Service Consultant and Michigan Association of Counties, Executive Consultant which will explain their process why Stafford-Smith won the final bid. Per our Finance Department, there are funds for a complete replacement of the Food Service Line from Stafford-Smith at a cost of $32,609.00. |
2.G. Approval of Transportation Proposal
Description:
The lease for Bus number 11 is set to expire at the end of June 2021. The lease for buses 1 through 10 and bus 12 have one more year and will expire at the end of June 2022. We would like to extend the current lease for bus 11 through the end of the 2021-2022 school year.
With board approval, this will allow our entire bus fleet to be on the same leasing schedule. This will not change the per lease pricing. |
2.H. Approval of SET SEG Policy Renewal 07/01/2021 - 07/01/2022
Description:
Policy dates are 07/01/2021 - 07/01/2022
To best serve Madison District Public Schools with insurance options, SET SEG did go to the market to receive quotes for the district. Upon soliciting bids from the commercial market, 15 declinations were received. The coverage renewal options are based on the district's failure to appropriately maintain their buildings over the last ten-plus years, leading to exclusions to the policy (see attached endorsements). Furthermore, in order to remain an eligible Pool member at subsequent renewals, considerable progress must be made to address the loss control recommendations (see attached recommendations). |
2.I. Approval of NWEA License Renewal
Description:
We currently use NWEA, which is a research-based not-for-profit organization that creates academic assessments for students pre-K-12. The license renewal is for 07/01/2021–06/30/2022 (2021-2022 school year) at the cost of $10,968.00. The per pupil pricing has not changed from the 2020-2021 school year.
