USD 383 Board of Education

Sept. 2, 2009

Kathy Dzewaltowski, Observer

The board approved 6-1 the Extended Learning Day Program that will provide extra instruction for elementary students before and after school during the regular school year, and the program will also take the place of Summer School. Curt Herrman voted "no" because he wasn't comfortable with completely eliminating Summer School.

The board was presented with drawings and color charts for the construction projects planned for Amanda Arnold and Ogden Elementary Schools. Board members expressed concerns about security and maintenance for courtyards planned for Amanda Arnold and for exterior classroom doors planned for Ogden. The plans were approved 7-0.

The school district has received 11 responses to its "request for qualifications" for the Construction Manager At-Risk (CMR) for the high school construction project. The board discussed the revisions to the "request for proposals" (RFP) for the CMR that board members had suggested at a previous meeting, and the board also discussed the pros and cons of the scoring system that will be used to evaluate the firms that will be interviewed for the CMR. The board approved 7-0 the RFP for the CMR.
