Moving forward, employees will also have OMNI as a resource for 457b. The changes will not have a major impact to the district’s budget, as Faulk noted that utilizing OMNI Financial Group cost the district less than $400 last year. “The cost is minimal to the district,” Falk said. “Last year the cost was a little over $350 to OMNI. This year I anticipate a slight increase; nothing significant that I think the board would need to worry about.” Moving forward, the board plans to revisit the two tax-sheltering programs on an annual basis, at minimum. Board experiences district’s developing science program In an effort to enhance the science curriculum, science teachers Kristin Cioffi Goss and Kery Obradovich are integrating the inquirybased Next Generation Science Standards program into classrooms. While the district’s kindergarten classes have fully adopted the program, the remaining grade levels are slowly adapting their syllabus to incorporate NGSS modules. Goss and Obradovich presented the developments at the meeting, and prompted board members to finish two projects that first- and second-graders completed in their science classes this year. Obradovich explained that NGSS activities teach students through stories and subsequent problem-solving projects, such as exploring light and sound with instruments, flash lights and mirrors. “Since we are incorporating more of the design process, the kids have a problem to solve,” Obradovich said. “Historically we’ve done hands-on science and we have a really strong science background. But, what we didn’t have maybe was a launching phenomena or an inquiry that kind of surrounds all of the learning for a unit, and that’s really what is new with NGSS. It kind of grounds the work in a problem, and the students are learning the science in order to be able to engage in the problem, and that’s really what the big shift is with their next generation science standards.” Superintendent Dr. Brian Wegley said he has seen a positive difference in students’ enthusiasm for science since the project began.
