Description:  Due to the shortage of people willing to substitute due to the pandemic, as well as the increased need for substitutes caused by additional employee absences,  we need to consider an increase to our substitute compensation effective September 1st.  The amounts in consideration to be competitive with our neighboring districts are:

Non-certified $75 (from $65)
Certified $100 (from $70)
Long term Non -certified $85 (from $75)
Long term Certified $180--no increase

Description:  We received two bids for Property Casualty insurance; one from PEAT and one from our existing provider-TPS.  TPS was the lower amount but also provided a more complete package since PEAT opted not to offer coverage for Cybersecurity.

Description:  This item was discussed at the last meeting.  Mrs. Unchurch was going to meet with Coach Droddy to clarify whether he or his staff wanted to assume any part of field maintenance.  She had this meeting and should be available to give an update.  Benson and Son  Lawn Maintenance was the only one to provide a quote for the lawn maintenance of the district.  

Description:  TASB attorneys recommend that posting board consideration of and action on policies be specific enough to advise staff and members of the public of the changes.
The (LOCAL) policy changes—each addition, deletion, or replacement—should be listed in alphabetical order by policy code, title, and subtitle. The following document is our compilation of that list, which may be copied and pasted into your meeting notice, staff communications of board action, and board meeting minutes.TASB attorneys recommend that posting board consideration of and action on policies be specific enough to advise staff and members of the public of the changes.

Description:  Amendments will need to be made to the 2020-2021 budget in preparation for closing out the current fiscal year. As always, the final budget will have enough expense in the appropriations to cover any unexpected/delayed invoices.  Ms. Hawkins also request the board grant permission to the Business Office to amend the budget in revenue and expenditure categories as necessary by year-end without changing the  total approved budget.  This will be for emergency use only.  Ms. Hawkins will be available to answer any questions the Board may have with regard to the amendments.
 

Description:  This item has been place on the agenda to highlight changes to the budget since the last discussion and   to answer any questions prior to budget adoption.  Ms. Hawkins should be present to help answer questions, if needed.
 

Description:  Before the Board adopts the proposed tax rate, the 2021-2022 budgets must be adopted.  With several data resources not being available at this time, 
some amendments will likely be necessary as information becomes available.   The Budgets proposed are  balanced budgets.
 

Description:  After adopting the budget, the Board must adopt a tax rate to support the budget. This year's proposed tax rate exceeds the no-new-revenue tax rate.
The Resolution is attached.
