The mill levy would increase by 0.79 mills for 2013-14 to 50.67 mills, up from the 49.88 mills from last year’s budget. The formal budget hearing for the 2013-14 budget will be at the August 12th meeting in the Educational Support Center Boardroom, 1205 Fleming Street. A policy that would prohibit district employees with concealed-carry permits from bringing handguns on school property or to school-sponsored activities was approved. The policy is a result of the recent law that was enacted by the state of Kansas. The board approved a five-year strategic plan for the district. There are three main initiatives that are the foundation of the plan. The first initiative of the plan is student achievement. The second initiative is to enhance communication and collaboration. The third initiative is efficiency, safety and infrastructure. Goals were developed under each initiative with sub-goals developed under each goal. The sub-goals will be used to determine annual performance objectives for administrators and staff. The board discussed committee assignments and board training opportunities for the school year. Board members are assigned to serve on a number of committees at the school district each school year. You can watch the board meeting at: youtube/watch?v=JzHQ3IAS1Ic
