H. Bowen presented his job description. Approval will be considered at the next board meeting.

In order to start putting together next year's budget, M. Carignan requested some information from the board and school administration:
There are no changes to our enrollment plan. Executive Director Ball and M. Carignan will meet to discuss hiring needs. We will be hiring one more SPED aide this year. M. Carignan will present a salary schedule at next month's board meeting. It would be beneficial to set a fundraising goal; however, it will not be included in the budget. Selling bumper stickers was brought up as a fundraising idea. M. Carignan recommended keeping our current employee benefits. Executive Director Ball will present additional budget items at next month's board meeting. Some of the things she would like are transportation for field trips and IXL (8k/year). 

 

This will take place on February 28 and is standard procedure for the SDE. Accounting records, record keeping, and policies will be looked over.

C. Hatch and J. Watkins presented measurable goals. Test results will be reviewed at the next board meeting.

K. Davenport was not present to give a report.

Discussion took place regarding a "Did you know?" campaign to make parents aware of the possible Idaho Tax Credit they can receive when making a donation to the school. It was suggested that information be put on newsletters and/or correspondence to parents, especially around the months of November and December.

C. Hunter will present plans for the golf tournament at the next board meeting, including sponsor amounts, layout of the day, how to involve students, etc.
 

J. Allen will talk to Idaho Falls Power and Intermountain Gas about an audit to see what kind of cost savings there might be for the building.

C. Ogden reported that she is putting together a handbook for new board members. She asked board members to finish their job descriptions to be able to include them in the handbook. If there are any 1000 level board policies that need to be considered, she will coordinate with A. Lybbert on them. Board member attendance was reviewed. Each board member is required to maintain an 80% attendance rate in any 6-month rolling period to maintain a seat on the board.

C. Gilbert met with school administration and D. Adcock about plans for the high school. We will need to submit an amendment at the beginning of summer and ideally it will be approved by October or November. Some of the next steps are mapping out a 5-year enrollment plan, putting together a budget, and exploring facility options. 
 

It is not something the board or school administration feels is necessary considering our plans to be an authorized IB World School.
