4th ORDER OF BUSINESS: Hiring of a reading/language arts teacher

After consulting with council about the applicants, Mr. Reed recommended Holly Tapscott to fill the position.

5th ORDER OF BUSINESS: Ticket taker and concession worker issue.

Mr. Reed presented information about the paying of ticket takers and the issue that the school is being required to pay the cost of ticket takers and concession workers from school funds where previously it had been a cost taken care of by the district. Mr. Reed discussed a meeting that he had with the principals of SLHS, NLHS, and NLMS. The principals are in agreement that the schools can not absorb these costs and continue run quality sports programs. The only alternative is to assign ticket taking to teachers as a duty as was done in the past. As to concession workers, the principals at the other schools have been allowing clubs and booster organizations to run the concession stands and the profits have been split between the organization and the athletic fund.

After discussion, the council has asked for some additional information. Mr. Reed is going to find out if it is acceptable for a teacher and a parent volunteer to take tickets or if it has to be certified staff. Mr. Reed is going to return to the next meeting with the information. During the next SBDM, a decision will be made as to how we are going to take tickets and how we are going to handle the concession stands during after school events.

6th ORDER OF BUSINESS: Meeting adjourned.
