VII.D. Approval of FY18 - FY 20 Student Transportation Bid Award (ACTION)
Description:
The bid process resulted in only one bidder which was First Student, our current transportation provider. The original bid was over 40% in the first year and 3% in the subsequent two years. Our final negotiated rate resulted in a cost increase of 26% in year one and 2.50% in the last two years. The large increase in year one is directly related to our inability to partner with District 214, as they are moving to an earlier start time. We continue to partner with District 21.
Motion: I move to accept the transportation bid from First Student as presented. |

VII.E. District 214 Partnerships (INFORMATION)
Description:
District 214 extended an offer to partner on a STEM project. D214 will pay for the costs to renovate our current Industrial Tech area. In return their students who participate in the Wildstang Robotics program will use the facility in the evenings from 5:30 - 8:30 and on Saturday's during their competition season. Eventually D214 will develop a class for 7th and 8th grades to gain high school credit in the area of robotics. The intention of the class is that it will become part of a career pathway.
Our second opportunity to partner with District 214 is in the area of their education pathway. They are offering a state of the art kindergarten classroom at Wheeling. We would supply the teacher and the students. They would use the kindergarten classroom and their early childhood classroom for their students who are planning on attending college to become teachers. This is an opportunity that will benefit our instructional programming and provide relief in terms of space at Eisenhower. |

X.A. Policy First Reading
Description:
There are only 4 policies that require Board input for decision making.
Policy 2:125 Requires the Board make the decision to determine the time the Board will annually state the reimbursement rates for food, lodging and travel. The Board will need to subsequently adopt a resolution stating these decisions. Policy 2:220 Requires the Board to agree to mirror statutory language of school board meeting procedures. Policy 5:60 Requires the Board to set the reimbursement level for food, travel, and lodging for employees. Policy 5:260 Allows the option for students to conduct observations and classroom experiences without background checks. Student teachers would still be required to undergo finger printing and complete a background check. The rest of the policy changes are all legal changes, language changes, citations, footnotes, etc. that are a result of the change from NCLB to ESSA at the federal level.
