Director’s Report
Darren passed out various prototypes of schedules we could use but also advised us that the charter states will use an AB schedule. We asked that he modify his preliminary schedule to start school at 7:45 and end closer to 2:30 so students who were participating in sports at other schools would have time to travel. Darren also encouraged us to adopt a pay scale and benefit program so he could start interviews.
Dress Code
Virginia presented us with a revised version of the dress code. We made several changes and voted on it.
Curriculum
Mary let us know that we have been approved for concurrent enrollment by UVU and MATC. We can start MATC classes in Fall and UVU courses in Winter
Consent agenda- Tabled until next meeting.
Darren discussed his experience with Risk Management and encourage us to use them for our liability policy. He also encouraged us to use Educators Mutual and has said that both companies have had great customer service. Angie Rasmussen also added her comments in the affirmative. We had a handout from Risk Management and we need to add a separate DNO policy for the board.
At our next meeting: Expressions, a DJ, and 401(k) companies will present their product.
Please email me if you would like to add anything to the next meeting agenda. Thanks. –Julie McNair
