WORK SESSION'
a. Board In-service— Board Policy, Sections 600 and 800
Dave Lent, Board Chair, led a discussion regarding policy updates that may be necessary due to proposed
legislation and what path to take when evaluating the changes that may be needed. Mr. Lent asked
Superintendent Boland to prepare an overview and report back to the board in the near future.
b. "Students Come First" Legislation Discussion
Superintendent Boland led a discussion regarding the pending legislation, now identified as 1108 the
labor bill, 1110 which is the pay for performance piece and 1113 the modernization bill. He went on to
say the implications that would flow from this legislation, with respect to board policy, such as in section
600 the graduation requirements would need to be changed due to the online requirement changes in
the bill. In section 800 there are several policies regarding the Negotiated Master Agreement that would
need to be revised depending on the outcome of the legislation. Superintendent Boland asked Guy
Wangsgard, Director of Business, to review a handout prepared regarding formula funding changes that
would also be affected by the proposed legislation. The Superintendent stated he would keep the board
informed as new information is received.

c. Discussion regarding potential janitorial contracting pilot at Gale
Superintendent Boland wanted to bring the board up to speed on where we are at looking at a partial
contracting of janitorial services as a pilot at Clair E Gale. After a number of retirements and resignations
the district is in a position to pilot contracting of janitorial services. After separating janitorial and
custodial duties Dana Wood, Director of Operations, reviewed the potential savings and contract issues
with the board. The contract to pilot this service in one building allows the district to try this, without the
RFP process, and explore the most efficient way to move forward with this. A contract would have to be
drawn up and presented for board approval before the pilot program could begin.
