There are several areas that will be discussed during this agenda item - the school district response to Director Vandermark's questions regarding district actions as per Policy 801 and the current MSHSL discussions regarding a transgender participation policy.  I will have a copy of the attorney letter for your review at the meeting on Monday.  
I have attached copies of a magazine article regarding the development of transgender policies along with the 2nd and 3rd drafts of the MSHSL Transgender Participation Policies for your review prior to our discussion.  I will be asking for direction on recommendations to MSHSL regarding their adoption of a Transgender Participation Policy.

3. Board Review of MSHSL Grant Request & MDE Assurance of Compliance Document:
Presenter:
Dr. Smith/Ms. Sparby
Description:
On an annual basis, the board has reviewed these two items.  The first is a grant application to the MSHSL Foundation seeking grant funds to assist our district in the payment of activity fees for students who may qualify for free meals and seek assistance with payment of their activity fees. 
The second item is the Assurance of Compliance document required by the MN Dept of Education.  This document asks us to review the list of mandated policies to ensure that we are compliance in all areas.  In addition to the attached document that details the various Federal & State Laws that we must be in compliance with, I have completed an online questionnaire regarding local policies and personnel assigned to such areas as 504 Compliance.  
Copies of each of these documents are attached for your review.

Description:
We began discussions regarding superintendent goals at our last work session.  I hope that we are able to reach consensus on the goals that should be in place for this year as quickly as possible. 
The goals that I would like to present to the board for my evaluation purposes are:
School District Goal 1 - The Belle Plaine Schools will achieve an overall proficiency rating of 70% on the MCAIII reading assessment in 2014-15.
School District Goal 2 - The Belle Plaine Schools will achieve an overall proficiency rating of 75% on the MCAIII math assessment in 2014-15.
Professional Development Goal 1 -  As superintendent, I will learn to build and present assessment data visuals as requested by staff using Tableau.

.  If you have additional ideas for goals, please submit them to me or to Chair Bigaouette as soon as possible.
