This is action, the board has allowed since I have been the superintendent.  The idea behind this is to be able to employ staff members during the summer months so we do not lose potential employees to other districts.  I will always inform the board of resignations and new hires during the summer.  Board action is needed.  Possible motion, "I move the board approve the superintendent of the school to hire professional personnel from May 13 - September 11, 2015  A second is required.

16) Southwest Foods Excellence/TDA Contract Renewal
Description:
SFE has addressed the budget again and have developed a few marketing ideas to boost participation.  As well in the previously submitted budget they did not adjust the federal reimbursement increase, the new budget reflects a $0.03 increase.  Historically the increase has been about $0.05.  At this time, I believe this is an attainable budget and with a state CRE coming this year, I would like to recommend granting 1 more year of the contract for food service to SFE.  Possible motion, "I move the board approve the contract for the 2015-2016 school year with SFE for food service."  A second is required.
Subject:
17) Bank Contract
Subject:
18) Senate Bill 149
Description:
This bill is on the Governors desk waiting signature.  Sets up guidelines for us to graduate a Sr that has attempted EOC exams multiple times but has not passed them.  This would allow the board to designate a committee to review the studnets high school career and grant them a diploma.  This is VERY new and I am still reading and learning about the bill.  But if we need to take this type of action I want the board to be prepared.  I think it will come as a resolution to adopt.  Not positive as time of this writing.
