Building and Grounds – Mr. Waas stated that some final work needs to be done to complete our
project from last summer. A light will be installed on the west side of the west building for added
security, another camera will be added to the north side of the overpass, and shades need to be
installed in the Science Lab.
This summer, we are looking to do only essential minor maintenance and repair items. Those items
were listed in the Long Range plan and will be approved in the coming months.
Education – Mr. Sarro reported that each year, Komarek School participates in the School Citizen
of the Year or SCOTY awards through the West 40 Intermediate Service Center. The teachers vote
for a student who best exemplifies school spirit, maturity, and citizenship.
This year’s winner is eighth grader, Amy Zyck, from Mr. Bedalow’s homeroom. Amy will receive
her award at a ceremony on Wedenesday, March 17 th , at Manneheim School.
Finance – Mr. Waas stated that work has begun on the FY11 budget. Much of the budgetary period
will reflect revenue based on a CPI of one tenth of one percent. Currently, we have received about
58% of our expected revenue from state and local sources. Normally, we should be near 70% at this
point in the year. We are hoping that payments to the district in the next few months will help make
up this difference.
Mr. Waas stated that next month, a preliminary budget will be presented to the board so that it can
begin its review. Formal adoption of the budget takes place in September.
Long Range – Mr. Dropka stated that in the next few months, you will begin to see items from the
long range list brought to the Board as action items for approval. Please contact Mr. Pellicci or Mr.
Dropka if you have any questions.
Policy – Mrs. Zyck stated that the Board may want to consider an internal Policy Review during the
summer months to insure that all policies are current with State Laws and the School Code. A small
committee of Board members could review the Policy manual and make recommendations for
revisions in the fall.
Public Relations – Mr. Mascitti stated that the third Parent University will be held on Thursday,
April 8 th . The full program has not been determined, but it will feature a representative from the
Bright Start College Savings program to discuss the program’s advantages with parents. More
information will be coming in the following weeks.
Mr. Mascitti stated that the Community newsletter will focus on registration information for the
2010-2011 school year. We are hoping to send that out after Spring Break.
