History Bowl Students
Mr. Harris and students who participated in the History Bowl reported on their training and trip to Atlanta for Nationals. Several students were within 5 points of qualifying for finals. In addition to participating in Nationals, the group was able to tour several businesses and meet other students from across the United States. The students worked hard on preparing and fundraising.

Superintendent
Mr. Stender thanked the History Bowl teachers, students and parents for their hard work and results. Softball and baseball season is over; Mr. Stender thanked the coaches, athletes and parents for their commitment. High school (10, 11, and 12th grades) and fifth grade students and parents will meet August 21st at the high school to discuss and receive student Ipads. Lifetouch is sponsoring the food and the board is needed to help serve. The program will be similar to last year. Collaboration continues with Grandma’s Daycare and Noah’s Ark concerning programs. The third meeting will be the end of July. Clarinda Community Pre-School will be at the next meeting. Due to timing it may be next school year before any options are viable. After evaluating bus routes and shuttles, the number of routes and shuttles will remain the same for the 2018-2019 school year. Security devices should be in place by the end of July in the school buildings and training can begin. Mr. Stender will attend an emergency operations
training session at NWMSU on July 13th. Training for staff will be ongoing throughout the year. A digital pass system will be used to help staff monitor student activity. A digital registration system will be used for parents and visitors which will print ID badges and notify staff. Administration and TLC leaders had a retreat June 27 to establish roles and responsibilities for upcoming school year. Another meeting is set for July 17th. District is looking to fill an elementary teaching position and middle school guidance counselor along with paraprofessional and coaching positions. No bids were received for the property by the high school which eliminates a direct sale. The second option is to engage in a direct sale with the interested party; a hearing will be required. The interested party will be put on the August agenda for further discussion. Mr. Stender is researching a service company for managing substitute teachers and paraprofessionals. The company would send notifications to our sub pool for the available days and positions. If the day and position aren’t filled, the agency would then call substitutes directly; the district would maintain the authority to determine eligible substitutes.
