12-72 Several members from the Deep
Creek community approached the Board
of Education asking for the possibility of
looking at reopening the Deep Creek
Rural Attendance Center for school year
2012-2013. Connie Johnson presented
the board with a list of students who
would be attending if the center were to
open. The list shows 5 students for the
upcoming school year with a possible 9
students by school year 2017-2018. Discussion
took place regarding staffing,
building condition, mileage, teacherage
options and budget concerns. Members
of the community asked the board that
they consider making the decision now,
rather than later. Some members of the
board felt that waiting to see what the upcoming
legislative session provides in
state funding would be the best. Constituents
asked that the board take responsibility
for educating those students,
rather than relying on Stanley County’s
only rural school. Motion by Nelson, second
by Thorson to table this decision until
the budget committee can meet and the
state aid numbers are finalized, with a decision
to be made no later than the March
2012 board meeting. All members voted
aye with the exception of Blair, who was
opposed to the motion.
12-73 Motion by Radway, second by Nelson
to approve a one-year contract with
the Philip Geothermal Group.
12-74 Motion by Blair, second by Radway
to approve the following personnel contracts:
Holly Schaack, Assistant Girls Basketball
- $2,240.00.
12-75 Bids were received and opened for
the Ottumwa Mobile Unit. A bid for $500
was received from Trudy Flesner, and a
bid for $800 was received from Doug
Gimpel. After discussion on estimated
value and the condition of the building
and the possibility of needing the unit in
the event that the Deep Creek school
were to open, a motion was made by
Blair, seconded by Nelson to reject both
bids.
12-76 Supt. Morehart approached the
Board with the possibility of purchasing a
vehicle with Special Education funds. The
vehicle would be primarily used by the
Special Education department, but could
be used for other travel if it was not in use
by Special Ed. Travel other than Special
Ed travel would be billed to the appropriate
fund/club and would be paid to Special
Ed at a rate of $.37 per mile. Research
on cost of vehicles will be done
and presented to the Board at a future
meeting.
12-77 Anita Peterson gave the BHSSC
report.
12-78 Motion by Blair, second by Radway
to enter into executive session for personnel
matters at 7:14 p.m. Meeting resumed
at 7:29 p.m. Motion by Thorson, second
by Blair to approve a payment of $500 to
LaRae Carley for assuming additional duties
in the absence of a staff member.
12-79 Secondary Principal Jeff Rieckman
reported on the following items: (A) Semester
tests will be administered on December
21st and 22nd. (B) Last day of
the 1st Semester is January 5th. (C) Mrs.
DeJong will hold her financial aid meeting
for seniors and their parents on January
23rd at 5:30pm. (D) January 24th is the
date set for the 8th grade parent meeting
to discuss high school academic paths.
(E) Girls basketball will play in the Snowball
Classic in Winner on December 27th.
(F) Results of the BHSU Stock Market
Game are in. Out of 205 teams, PHS had
three teams in the top five. Congratulations
to Shelby Schofield and Megan
Williams for taking first place, Audra Antonsen
and Misty Johnson for fourth
place, and Tanner Radway and Jace
Schofield for sixth place. The BHSU
Stock Market game is used in Brigitte
Brucklacher’s Personal Finance class.
12-80 Superintendent Keven Morehart
reported on the following items: (A) Attended
the State Superintendent meeting
in Chamberlain. (B) Evaluations are in
progress. (C) Mrs. Bowen’s Christmas
concerts were great! (D) The Milesville
Christmas program will be held next
week. (E) The surplused 1983 blue Ford
pickup was sold to Warren (Chip) Walker
for $100. (F) Reviewed the boiler inspection
reports. There were no problems. (G)
The SD Retirement System Board of
Trustees is accepting petitions for the upcoming
election. Interested board members
can see Britni Ross for a petition. (H)
Handed out Superintendent evaluations
to the board. These need to be returned
to President Scott Brech a week prior to
the next meeting.
Motion by Nelson, second by Blair to adjourn
at 7:39 p.m. Will meet in regular
session on January 16, 2012, at 6:00
p.m.
