Discussion:  This is a time set aside for the board and public to receive information and ask questions about the pending FLY application.  This application is to allow the MRVED districts to continue their current practices of starting prior to Labor Day and providing common professional development opportunities.

Discussion:  Formerly known as the World's Best Workforce Plan, the CACR is a state requirement that outlines a school district's strategic plans in specific areas.  In ISD 129 we also include the district's achievement and integration plan as well as literacy plan to fully communicate, in as transparent manner as possible, what district initiatives, measures, and results are.

The CACR advisory committee, made up of staff, students, and community members, meet on November 19th to review the plan and provide input.  The plan then, in its final format, is brought to the board for acceptance in December.

This is informational only at this time.

Discussion:  Mr. McKittrick will provide an update on the progress of positions.

Discussion:  In October, the tentative seniority list was provided for School Board review.  After the October meeting, the seniority list was posted at each site for teachers to review.  We had no questions or concerns brought forward, therefore approval of the seniority list is being recommended by the Superintendent.

Discussion:  The revisions to policies 207, 408, 413, 419, and 425 were presented at the October regular school board meeting and are now being recommended for approval. MSBA model policies are utilized when available.

Discussion:  Election information will be added when received from the County Election Office.
 

Discussion:  This is an annual action required of the school board and pertains to special elections.  This action allows for a single polling place to serve the entire district in order to be more cost-effective when running special elections.
