8.1 Consider Approving Request for Modified Allowable Growth and Supplemental Aid for the 2020-2021 School Year Special Education Deficit
      ACTION
      As a standard practice, administration asks the board to consider approving the application for additional allowable growth and supplemental aid. In addition to the overall
      general 
operating fund budget, school districts monitor revenues and expenditures of the special education program and report annually to the Department of Education.
      Districts can spend 
more than they take in for special education, but the excess expense must be covered with general fund dollars. When the district reports a negative fund
      balance in special education, 
that state allows districts to recover the spending authority for those expenditures. For the 2020-2021 fiscal year, the district spent
     approximately $241,325.13 ($365,235.41 for 2019-20 
and $339,270.92 for 2018-19) more than receivable revenue and is approximately $123,910.28 less than the previous
     year. The School Budget Review Committee (SBRC) will 
consider allowing recovery of the budget authority in October. Administration recommends approving the Request
     for Modified Allowable Growth and Supplemental Aid for FY21 Special Education deficit.
     
RECOMMENDATION
 
    Approve request for Modified Allowable Growth and Supplemental Aid for the 2020-2021 school special education deficit of $241,325.13.

8.2 Consider Approving the School Fundraisers
      ACTION
      The attached list indicates the proposed district fundraisers for the 2021-22 school year. The School Board approves district fundraisers annually per the request of the
      district auditor 
(policy 504.5). In addition to approving the identified fundraisers, administration is granted the decision-making authority to approve additional fundraisers
      that are determined to meet 
the needs of students, school, or community.
      Fundraiser

      RECOMMENDATION
      Approve the 2021-2022 district fundraisers.

8.3 Consider Approving Donations
      ACTION
      The First United Methodist Church Together Class would like to donate $150 for the school nurse to use. An anonymous donor would like to donate Farm to Table ground
      beef to the 
Nutrition Department.
      RECOMMENDATION
     
Approve a $150 donation for the school nurse fund from the Together Class and ground beef 
to the Nutrition Department from an anonymous donor.

8.4 Consider Approving the Second and Final Reading of the IASB Policy Primers
      ACTION
      IASB has reviewed policies for quarterly updates with 2021 Legislative updates and have made recommendations for edits for current policy and addition of new policy. The
      policy 
committee has reviewed and recommend the changes to, rescinding of or adding policies: 200.3; 206.1; 206.2; 213; 213.1; 302.5; 303.6; 401.14 (new); 412.3; 501.14;

    RECOMMENDATION

8.5 Consider Approving the Second and Final Reading and Rescind of Policies
      ACTION
       Policy 804.5 – Stock Epinephrine Auto-Injector Supply is included in IASB policies. After review by the CCSD Board policy committee, it is being recommended to add to
      the district 
policies. Policy 502.11 – Use of Video Cameras on School Property was initially approved on March 12, 2012 and was revised on December 12, 2018. IASB
      (Iowa Association of 
School Boards) implemented policy 804.6 (Use of Recording Devices on School Property) and its Regulation. The policy committee is recommending
      to rescind its policy of 502.11

      RECOMMENDATION

8.6 Consider Approving the First Reading of Policy 705.1 Purchasing-Bidding
      ACTION
      Because of the higher food cost, growing free meals, and year-round summer lunch 
operations, the food service costs are getting close to the $50,000 mark. It is being
 
     recommended to increase the bid limit from $50,000 to $60,000. Anything exceeding $60,000 will need to go through the request for proposal (RFP) or competitive bid
      process.    705.1

who were not able to go last year in addition to those who would normally go this year.

      manage 
stressors and refuel energy for work, family, and leisure pursuits. Catchlife 30 features daily health check-ins that can be completed in five minutes or less and
      doesn’t require a fitness 
tracker. The five areas of focus include hydration, physical activity, nutrition, social-emotional health, and sleep. The cost is $10 per person. This
      program was done last year and 
well received by employees.
      RECOMMENDATION

      RECOMMENDATION
     
Approve the $50 incentive substitute pay for those who work five consecutive days.

8.9 Consider Approving the Home School Assistance Teacher Contracts for 2021-2022
      ACTION
      There are 21 enrolled in Competent Private Instruction (CPI) and 6 enrolled in the Independent Private Instruction (IPI). Students who are enrolled under CPI provide us
      with 
the curriculum they are taught and are eligible for dual enrollment. Students who completed the IPI forms do not have to report any academic progress and are not
      eligible for any 
services in the school. Of the 21 CPI students, 11 are eligible for dual enrollment. Dual enrollment allows them to attend classes, participate in field trips, use
      the library, and 
participate in school activities. These students generate revenue depending on their grade and the extent they participate in CCSD classes and activities.
      Eleven of the 21 students are 
interested in participating in the Home School Assistance (HSA) program. The HSA program provides a teacher who oversees their academic
      work (15 hours per quarter per 
student). In exchange for that oversight, the district receives some funding to pay a certified teacher to provide the services. When the
      enrollment count is complete, you will see partial 
numbers, which indicates the weighting CCSD gets for students who are not full-time. Mrs. Davies is a certified teacher
      who at one time worked as a special education teacher in 
our district. As in the past, we have had an agreement with Mrs. Davies to serve as our HSA teacher for those
      students who would like her assistance. By having her serve as the HSA 
teacher, she receives $15 per hour per student for up to 60 hours per student each year. Parents of the
      students in the program are asked to sign a time sheet that verifies Mrs. Davies 
has actually provided services for those students at the end of each quarter. Mrs. Davies will
      meet with Mrs. McKinnon and Mrs. Bergman quarterly to verify student progress and accurate invoicing.
      RECOMMENDATION
      Approve contracts with Lexy Davies to serve as the Home School Assistance teacher for the 2021-2022 school year.

8.10 Consider Not Offering Early Retirement for the 2021-2022 School Year
 
       ACTION
 
        Early retirement is intended to benefit the district’s fiscal position and quality student services. Due to Auditor recommendations, state and national teacher shortages, and
        CCSD 
district budget guarantee status, it is being recommended not to offer early retirement for the 2021-2022 school year. With declined enrollment and COVID, the
        district was identified 
with Budget Guarantee (Iowa Code 257.14) status which is passed on to the taxpayers through property tax.
        RECOMMENDATION
  
       Approve not offering early retirement for the 2021-2022 school year.

8.11 Consider Approving Early Notification Incentives for Certified Staff
 
       ACTION
 
       Administration is recommending early incentives for certified staff who will not be returning to teach for the 2022-2023 school year. This supports early hiring to fill those

        p.m. In order to 
qualify for $1000, written notification must be sent to Mrs. McKinnon by January 7th at 4:00 p.m. In order to qualify for $500, written notification must be

       Approve certified staff early notification incentive of $1500 with electronic notification by November 5th, $1000 with electronic notification by January 7th, and $500 with
        electronic 
notification by February 4th to Mrs. McKinnon by 4:00 p.m.

       Approve the first reading of policy 508.2 Open Night.

8.13 Consider Approving the Second and Final Reading of Policy 705.1 Purchasing-Bidding
