Call to Order

 

The Special Meeting of the Business Committee of School District No. 2, Yellowstone County and High School District No. 2, Yellowstone County, Montana met at Lincoln Center, 415 North 30th Street, Billings, Montana, on Monday, March 27, 2006. Chair Dale Getz called the meeting to order at 5:09 p.m. and led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance. Committee members present were K. Dale Getz, Kari Altenburg, Joan Sleeth, Shanna Henry, Jerry Hansen, Peter Grass, and Tim Cranston. Absent were Curt Prchal, Katharin Kelker, and Randy Durr. Also present was Business Manager Thomas Harper and Executive Director of Activies/Facilities Dave Williams.

 

Approval of Stipend Positions FY2006-07

 

Dave Williams said because of the hiring freeze imposed by the Board he is requesting the Business Committee approve filling the following stipend positions FY2006-07 from the High School General Fund as follows:

 

West High

Majorette Sponsor, Cheerleader Sponsor, and Head Boys Soccer Coach

 

Skyview

Cheerleader Sponsor, Head Trainer, and Head Girls Basketball Coach

 

The current year’s stipends for these positions totaled $30,455. The majorettes and cheerleader sponsors start in the spring and work until fall. They need to start early to select their groups and start their practice. The Head Trainer at Skyview needs to be replaced to meet AA standards. The Head Boys Soccer Coach and the Head Girls Basketball Coach go to camps and start their fundraisers now so they are ready for next year. Dave said if these positions are not filled at one school, he will not fill them for any schools. They have hundreds of parent volunteers; but, volunteers are not responsible for their actions and they can quit mid-season.

 

Jerry Hansen moved to accept the positions contingent on budget authority to pay them and with the stipulation that all applicants are informed they are contingent on budget qualification. Peter Grass seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.

 

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:23 p.m.
