Regular Meeting

7:00 P.M.

VISITORS / COMMUNICATIONS / RECOGNITIONS

Kaitlyn Swartzmiller presented her report.

Mr. Whitney shared with the Board that he had a request from Bud Ford and Janice Ford pertaining to the property that the district purchased from them several years ago. Specifically they are requesting an easement on the property, the potential option to purchase or lease the outbuildings and they expressed an interest in purchasing the fixtures in the farm house. The Board will discuss this and make a decision at a future meeting.

Mr. Whitney referenced an article in the OSBA Journal about public school district policies pertaining to situations where representatives from Law Enforcement are on the school premises to question students. In particular the question arose as to what our district policy is, or should be, for a situation where a student would be questioned or interviewed by Law Enforcement, and if it should be necessary for parents to be notified or be present. The Board asked the Treasurer to check with Pepple & Waggoner, who supply updates to our Board Policy, to see what our current policy is and to determine if we need to make changes to the policy at this time.
