UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Amendment to Budget
As required by law, the Amended 2018-2019 School District Budget must be filed with the Illinois State Board of Education by June 30, 2019. The Debt Services fund was adjusted to reflect the $300,000 bond abatement. Due to the additional purchase of school buses the Transportation Fund was increased from $550,000 to $776,000. The repair and maintenance of buses went from $50,000 to $100,000. This overview was also presented at the Board of Education Meeting May 21, 2019.
A motion was made by Mrs. Maxey and seconded by Mr. Rudy to approve the Amendment to the Budget as presented.
The motion was carried by unanimous roll call.
B. Certified Nurse
We currently have an opening at the UE/MS for a nurse. The school code requires our district to post for a certified nurse if the district does not currently staff one, which is the case for North Boone School District. Currently we are in compliance with the state requirements for school nursing, but a law change now mandates that a certified nurse be employed by each school district if there is an opening and there is not one on staff. Dr. Greenlee recommended posting a full time certified nurse position to fulfill those legal requirements. This nurse would assume similar duties of our non-certified nurses, and in addition, the certified nurse would coordinate nurses and be asked to oversee the health portions of IEP’s and 504’s for students. This position would also be able to assist with classroom health education, and this person would be under the supervision of the Special Education Director. This position would be part of the NBEA and would be placed on the NBEA contractual salary schedule. Dr. Greenlee provided a job description for the Certified Nurse position to be posted for the 2019-20 school year. The estimated cost is $50,000 - $55,000.
A motion was made by Mrs. Maxey and seconded by Mr. Haselhorst to approve the Certified Nurse job description and posting of the position as presented.
The motion was carried by unanimous roll call.
C. Board Goals
Dr. Greenlee had met with Mr. Haverly to discuss Board goals. Mr. Haverly proposed allowing Dr. Greenlee to set his own goals. Mr. Haverly suggested a few large projects that the Board would consider supporting either financially or theoretically. The goals he proposed for the Superintended include: AP scores, ELA review cycle, pathways and careers for HS students, making electives flow from MS to HS, finding new ways to address social/emotional learning, and how technology supports our learning. Mr. Haverly recommended the Board test out Dr. Greenlee adding goals to his own evaluation. The Board would then have an entire month to review and investigate the potential projects. The Board was in agreement with the process.
