MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MEETING April 1, 2021
A meeting of the Board of Directors was held virtually and in person at Noble High School on April 1, 2021 at 7:30 pm, with all members present except Ms. Neubert, Ms. Corliss, Ms. Manly and Ms. Schaeffer.
Ms. Mallett shared the public input statement.
There was no public input at this time.
Mr. Doiron made a motion and it was seconded by Ms. Hopper to approve the minutes of March 18th, 2021. All members voted in favor and the motion passed.
Erin Kinsey, student representative shared with the board the feelings of the students regarding the addition of the extra in person day for the 9th graders. She felt that that was being welcomed. The upperclassmen felt a little like the extra 30 minutes per class on Thursday may be eaten up by routines, but did note that it might be beneficial. There is a lot of stress in the student body just in terms of looking at the amount of work still left to complete in the year and the compacting of the curriculum into one or two quarters. She felt that going into April break might allow for students to take a deep breath and see the end of the tunnel coming their way.
Ms Denise Van Campen, Business Manager, reviewed the financial statements for January, February and March. Revenue and expenses are in line with the budget at this time.
The board then held discussions regarding the budget and determining the last questions around finalizing. There was discussion of adding the 4th grade position that will allow ELKS to keep their numbers to a reasonable level. Ms Mallett noted that in a difficult year, everyone involved makes it smooth for the board to make decisions. Thank you for that.
Draft calendar was shared and discussed.
Ms Potter made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Hagenbuch to accept the 21-22 calendar. All members voted in favor and the motion passed.
Student attendance for the past week ran a low of 88% and a high 99%. Staff attendance seemed to be about the same between 93-97% attendance.
Update on hiring a bus monitor who will be in the future working towards his CDL. We are always looking for drivers and custodians and educational technicians.
April 5th is the start date for our middle school athletics. Currently we have the ability to have spectators for the spring sports with masking precautions in place. Students will also have to mask during competition at this time.
Other:
Ms. Mallett: What kind of communication to the 9th grade families and also out to the rest of the high school community. It is scheduled to go out tomorrow via messenger and then the teachers of the 9th grade teams will directly communicate with their students and families.
The Assistant Superintendent updated the board on the Noble Middle School Virtual Academy. We are in the process of getting information out to families of students who will be in 6th, 7th and 8th for next year. We have hired our three teachers who will be overseeing the program. We have developed a flyer and a video to promote the program.
Ms. Potter made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Hagenbuch to adjourn. All members voted in favor and the motion passed.
