Work session:
The board was presented with the pre-schematic design plans for Roosevelt Elementary. The plans included a new kitchen, gym, and stage addition on the southeast side of the building, and relocating the main office to the existing gym in order to create a secure entrance.
Regular meeting:
The board was presented with a proposal to add a math enrichment program for grades 4-6 which would replace elementary Spanish. A math enrichment program is already in place for grades K-3. In addition to providing extra math instruction, the program also provides classroom teachers with a larger block of planning time. The board approved 7-0 to add math enrichment in the place of Spanish for grades 4-6.
Elizabeth Matthews, Food Service Director, presented board members with a recommendation to increase student lunch prices $0.05 for the 2010-11 school year, which would generate approximately $15,000 in revenue. Pete Paukstelis said the increase was reasonable and reflected the increase in the Consumer Price Index. Susan Marshall was concerned that the district's lunch prices were already higher than similar school districts. The board approved 4-3 the recommended price increase.
The board discussed raising student fees, textbook fees, driver's education fees, and a parking permit fee for MHS. Administration recommended increasing student and textbook fees by 3% (which would be $1 each), increasing driver's ed. fees by 19% (which would be $32), and keeping the parking permit fee flat ($40). Mr. Paukstelis suggested increasing the parking permit fee to $50. The board approved 7-0 to increase the student, textbook, and driver's ed. fees as recommended and to increase the parking permit fee for MHS to $50.
