Discussion:
Congratulations to Blake Andrews and Ally DeJong for being selected as Montevideo High School's 2024-2025 Triple A representatives.
The Academics, Arts, and Athletics Award, commonly known as the Triple 'A' Award, honors high school seniors throughout the state who have a 3.0 or higher-grade point average and who participate in League-sponsored athletic and fine arts activities. The criteria for being nominated for Triple A are as follows:
Two award finalists from each region (one boy and one girl) are invited to a recognition banquet in March and League officials will announce the four statewide Triple ‘A’ Award winners at that time. This year the region 3 representatives were Trevor Smith from Tracy-Milroy-Balaton and Natalie Wahl of Westbrook-Walnut Grove. All 32 finalists participate in an on-court ceremony during the Class AAA championship game of the Boys Basketball State Tournament. The statewide award winners—a girl and a boy from Class A and Class AA schools— receive a four-year $1,000 scholarship. Congratulations Blake and Ally for representing our school district well! |

3. ACTION ITEMS
|
|
| : |
3.1. American Indian Parent Advisory Committee Vote of Concurrence
|
|
|
Discussion:
Before March 1 of each year, the AIPAC must meet to discuss whether they concur with the educational offerings that the district has extended to American Indian students. If the AIPAC finds that the district and school board have been meeting the needs of American Indian students, they issue a vote and resolution of concurrence. If they find that the district and school board have not been meeting the needs of American Indian students, they issue a vote and resolution of Nonconcurrence.
Mr. Morgan Ironheart will be presenting the vote of concurrence on behalf of the district Indian Education Parent Advisory Committee, and Ms. Elizabeth Brown will be completing and filing the resolution with MDE. |
||
| : |
3.2. Approve Achievement and Integration Budget
|
|
|
Discussion:
As part of the annual budgetary and programmatic process, the district's Achievement and Integration budget is revised and approved by the MDE. Prior to submission it is the district's practice to present the budget to the school board for approval. This is also completed alongside the AIPAC vote of concurrence. Mr. McKittrick will highlight the budget for the board.
|
||
| : |
3.3. Approve FY26 SWWC Service Agreements
|
|
|
Discussion:
ISD 129 contracts with SWWC Service Cooperative for a number of services that would be inefficient to employ or provide "in house." Attached is a copy of the contract summary document as well a description of each service SWWC offers. Note, only the services in the summary that have a dollar amount beside them are ones that our district utilizes. For summary, service costs will increase from $352,711.75 in FY25 to $409,154.95 in FY26. The increase is primarily in special education services, $54,908. Of the special education increases we will see an increase of $21,000 in deaf and hard of hearing services and $29,000 in physical therapy services. These increases are driven by increased service minute needs.
Approval of these agreements are recommended by the Superintendent McKittrick and Director of Special Education Larry Syverson. |
