November 12, 2024 at 7:30 PM - Regular Meeting

Description:  All speakers participating in the listening session are asked to complete the listening session Sign-in Card including as much detail as possible and including a printed / written copy of your presentation if one is available. The Sign-in Cards are at the table by the entrance door, and anyone who has not called in or emailed the Superintendent, in advance, may complete them now. Please include all requested information on the Sign-in Card so administration can provide follow-up as needed.

This is an opportunity for the School Board to listen; the School Board will not engage in dialogue. As a general rule, the School Board will not comment on or respond to any comments made by speakers. Please do not include names of Badger Community School employees or representatives, their title, or location in your remarks for your own legal protection and the legal rights of staff.

Each speaker will have five (5) minutes to speak; speakers may not roll their time to another speaker. Speakers will be timed and are asked to complete their comments in this time frame. School Board members may ask questions if needed.  Please begin your presentation by stating your name and topic only.

In the spirit of fairness to all participants, we request that you respect the format above. Thank you for taking the time tonight to attend this meeting and share your concerns and suggestions.

Description:  All school districts must complete an Assurance of Compliance with state and federal law and verify Mandated Reporting training by November 15 each year.

By completing all sections of the Assurance of Compliance, school districts provide written assurance that they do not discriminate in their use of funds provided by the Minnesota Department of Education and that they have informed all mandated reporters of their reporting duties. 

Mandated reporting training to Badger staff was assigned to be completed during the August Back to School workshop via Safe Schools online training module.

This assurance is given by each district in consideration of and for the purpose of obtaining any and all federal grants, loans, contracts, property, discounts, or other federal and state financial assistance extended to the district by the U.S. Department of Education and the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE).
