The Board voted to table discussion on amending the calendar until the July Board meeting.
Conversation was held regarding the roles of the School Board and Superintendent in making decisions about changing various aspects of normal school operations, at times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Board dis approved the purchase of 275 new Chromebooks, with a three-year damage repair warranty, Chrome Management Console and GoGuardian for grades 2 – 12 at a cost of $122,521.
An interlocal agreement with the Nemaha Natural Resources District for the purpose of providing cost-share assistance through the Urban Special Project Cost-share Program was approved with the school district spending up to $3,300 in matching funds toward the program. The funds will be used to plant trees and natural grasses.
