The Agenda Setting Meeting of the Board of Trustees of School District No. 2, Yellowstone County, Montana, and the High School District, Yellowstone County, Montana was duly held at the Lincoln Center, 415 North 30th Street, Billings, Montana on Monday, May 7, 2012.

 

The meeting was called to order at 1:10 p.m. by Chair Teresa Stroebe.

 

Roll Call

 

Those attending were: Trustees Connie Wardell, Pam Ellis, Kathy Aragon, Teresa Stroebe; Clerk Leo Hudetz, Superintendent Jack Copps, and District Administrator Gail Surwill.

 

Regular Board Meeting, May 21, 2012

 

Chair Stroebe stated that Trustee Moen had emailed her two items for the agenda: report from the Planning and Development Committee expected to last 30 minutes and projected classroom estimates for 2012-13.

 

For the Planning and Development the RFP on strategic planning should be included.

 

The Sodexo contract will be on the agenda as well as meal prices. The meal prices have to be approved by the board.

 

For the warehouse recommendation item, more information was requested ahead of time by Trustees Aragon and Ellis. They questioned the amount for paper and asked that Trustee Halter look at the proposal as an expert. Superintendent Copps stated that more information will be provided. He stated that the Avior Group are experts in this field and this is their recommendation. He stated that they are recommending a better grade of paper and that is the reason the paper is more expensive. We could purchase our own paper.

 

The union contracts will be discussed, BEA for ratification and MPEA and BCEA for possible ratification, depending upon negotiations currently underway. It was requested that the total package cost be available. The items pertaining to budget on the agenda will be moved up before this item.

 

Mr. Hudetz explained that the policies for second reading are the results of the advertising policy being passed and these policies need to be deleted. The policy on charitable pledges was requested by the auditors and is time sensitive. The item on new hires may be a procedure in which case it would go on consent. This item was also requested by the auditors and involves the board approving new hires within so many days.

 

The Fielding Nair report will be referred to the Planning and Development Committee meeting on May 14th for verification of numbers before going to the board for acceptance.

 

The item on classroom estimates will be for information only. Mrs. Surwill stated that this needs to be shown with the additional eight classroom teachers. Trustee Wardell stated that the additional eight teachers were not funded during the negotiation process. This will be discussed before the negotiation item.

 

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 1:45 p.m.
