Description:  The meeting will now be opened to receive public comment. We value the time and initiative members of the public take to share their thoughts with the Board. The Board’s role during public comment is not to immediately respond, but to listen. If there is follow-up necessary, we will direct our Superintendent to do so. Remember that we all model the way for our students, and we ask that everyone share their thoughts in a respectful way. Should any public comment include complaints regarding a personally identifiable District staff member, the Board chair may direct the speaker to the proper administrative process found in Board policy KL which can be found on the District's website. Anyone who has registered previously to submit a public comment will now be acknowledged and asked to speak. Please note that speakers will have three minutes to express their thoughts. If any written public comment has been submitted prior to August 20,2020 at 4:30 it will be read at this time. 

Description:  Assoc Supt Dave Bolin will update the Board on the status of the District's submission of the 2020-21 School Year Operational Blueprints to the OR Dept of Education. 

Description:  The Community Engagement Committee is a sub-committee of the NSSD Board of Directors made up of NSSD staff and two board members. Tass Morrison is the committee chair and Alisha Oliver is a member of the committee. The committee meets monthly and this item is for a monthly report of meeting minutes.

Description:  In order to make more efficient use of meeting time, items that are routine in nature are placed on the Consent Agenda when no debate is anticipated.  Any item placed on the Consent Agenda may be removed at the request of any Board member prior to the time a vote is taken. All remaining items of the Consent Agenda are then disposed of in a single motion.

Description:  The minutes from the previous month's meeting will be submitted for Board review and approval. 

Description:  School boards must approve the hiring and annual renewal and non-renewal of the Licensed staff contracts. Any chances in Licensed staff since the last board meeting are listed below.

Description:  Supt Gardner will discuss the District's consideration of providing a daycare option to staff for whom a lack of childcare is a barrier for them being able to return to work. 

POSSIBLE MOTION
Given the unique time the District is operating in and looking to respond appropriately in striking the balance of serving our students, parents, and community while also meeting the needs of our staff, we authorize Superintendent Gardner to develop and implement, as needed, onsite daycare to staff in need.  This would be an appropriate benefit for staff without creating an undue hardship for the District.
