DELEGATIONS/PETITIONS/COMMUNICATIONS V. ACTION/DISCUSSION ITEMS A. District 1. Annual Activities Report HS Activities Director presented the annual activities report. The new format was discussed. Girls’ bowling has been recently sanctioned at the state level. Indianola will need to decide whether to sanction the sport locally. The annual estimated expense to add bowling would be $5,000. Girls’ bowling is a winter sport. A concern was noted that students are under the impression they must participate in the summer bigger-faster-stronger program (BFS) in order to be considered for team sport participation. Coaches do encourage studentathletics to participate in BFS. Attendance expectations are clearly communicated prior to registration. The physical education teacher work with students individually based on conflicts. The BFS class is designed to promote student strength and agility. B. Human Resources/Student Services/Technology C.

Preliminary enrollment is up from the 2005-06 school year. The possibility of closing open enrollment to some grade levels may need to be considered until another elementary school is constructed. Rob Miller encouraged the school board to review written district personnel practices to make sure that backgrounds of employees recommended for hire are thoroughly checked prior to hire. The related board policies will be added to a future board agenda for review. Several opportunities for Board development through IASB are scheduled. Board members should let the central office know if they would like to be registered.
