Business Manager, Thomas Harper will present the un-audited version of the 2005-06 year-end financial report. It was suggested that there be a report on the analysis of the “Outcome Based Budgeting” process and it was decided to put that on the schedule for the retreat on August 12, 2006.

It is requested that the Elementary School Bond Committee report on their progress.

 

Dan noted that the coaches need to be hired for the 2006-07 school year and that the teacher hiring is on-going as some specialized positions are difficult to fill.

 

Vice-Chair, Kathy Kelker reported that Judy Johnson has resigned as Trustee and the process to fill her position should be started.

 

Leo Hudetz, District Clerk asked to be placed on the agenda for consideration of an increase of his salary.

 

Kathy Kelker reported that she and Malcom Goodrich are looking into the possibility of a land lease for land by the Lewis & Clark school. They will report on it later on.

 

In the process of trying to put together a campaign for a successful mill levy request, the “Celebrate Billings” organization is willing to contribute funds to the promotion. Kathy also has a list of about 12 people with interest in helping with a plan and has talked with service groups, some of which are willing to help. There will be a breakfast on August 4th at The Billings Clinic for those interested in helping with the campaign. The trustees are invited to attend.

 

There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 12:40 p.m.
