December’s School Board Meeting

Here is the agenda and important Items for this month’s meeting at 5pm, on Monday the 12th.

This month’s board meeting is scheduled one hour earlier, at 5pm, to accommodate the High School Band and Vocal Concert at 7pm. Because we are discussing a pending real estate transaction, and this requires a 30 day notice, the second part of the meeting is starting precisely at 6pm.

Monday’s Tentative Agenda

Notable Items and Discussion

• We will hear a report from students on the Vetran’s day celebration. This is a fantastic school and community event which honors those who have served our country. It is a great example of Project Based Learning (PBL) and a treat to hear from students!
• I will be presenting a proposal to record the school board meetings. The board may take action, voting yes or no on this plan.
• We will have a public hearing on the proposed cell phone tower to be built at the Intermediate School. This is a proposed 30-year lease on a 20x35' space west of the track. The district would receive $600 per month, with a 10% rent increase every 5 years (totalling around $324,000 over 30 years, for scale our annual budget is around $16M). It would be a simple pole, rising 120 feet with a small series of antennas positioned at the top. Please come to the meeting if you thoughts on this proposal, as the board may take action on this item.
