Mr. Meyer expressed his appreciation of working with the Board of Education during his career at Central. He thanked them for the support they always gave him.

We are again utilizing a cooperative for the paper purchase this year. Central, Breese Elementary District #12, Mater Dei High School, and Carlyle Unit District #1 have joined together to buy 840 cases of paper in a bulk shipment. (Central will receive 200 cases of the order.) Paper usage has so dramatically declined that lower supplies are needed for all schools. We also received a price of $27.58 per case which is a dramatic increase from the $23.97 per case paid last year. We are making the purchase through Contract Paper Group this year. The shipment is scheduled to arrive in a few weeks. Thank you to Mrs. Jill Varel for doing all of the comparative "shopping" for this purchase and coordinating delivery. We also would like to thank Foppe Ace Hardware who agreed to let us use their skid loader again this year for the movement of the pallets of paper to vehicles and into our storage areas.

We have several individuals at Central either retiring or in the "pipeline" for upcoming retirement. The list is enclosed. The certified employee who qualifies has submitted their letter and will receive a salary enhancement payment by June 30th as per the negotiated agreement. If you recall, the agreement requires us to make these payments until their actual retirement and then to follow with the balance of their package (if any remains) in severance. This program enables employees to receive a retirement incentive and the district to avoid penalty amounts.

The Health Insurance Committee will be meeting to discuss coverage for our employees for next year. The first step is to wait for our renewal figures from Blue Cross/Blue Shield. (It is possible the renewal is very good and the committee simply decides to renew for another year.) If not, as our broker, the Imming Insurance Agency will retrieve proposals from carriers and present to the committee in early or mid-July. The goal is to determine a benefits package and bring it to the July or August meeting for your review and approval.

The final HVAC work in Rooms 8W, 8AW, and 8BW in the west wing of the building was completed this past week. The ductwork heating unit was installed and all electrical is being finalized on the unit in the Art Room. Trane will still need to program that into the system and we hope to see a better balance created in that area when temperatures drop. Todd Jones of FGM Architects will complete the amendment for HLS purposes for that unit so funds from that source can be utilized to pay for it. This should be the last matter on this overall project.

Weather has finally somewhat cleared to allow for excavation and seeding on the Outdoor Renovations. Litteken Construction has seeded areas and are finalizing the drainage ditches and other parts of the facility. The two main focal points are now on the long jump/pole vault area behind the football grandstands and the JV Baseball Field. We do have an issue to discuss on the infield soil. We have not received an Application for Payment this month from Litteken. (The balance to finish and retainage is still $90,616.45 on the project.) However, after substantial completion of some punchlist items, we have received Application for Payment #3 and Final from DantClayton Corporation on the Football Grandstand structure for $33,848.10. A motion to approve payment #3 for $33,848.10 to Dant Clayton was made by Richter, second by Kennedy. Roll call vote: Aye -Mike Nettemeier, Sean Kennedy, Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Jeff Kampwerth, Tanya Kampwerth, Tim Richter. Nay - None

Millenium Construction has completed demolition work in the former library and band area with early phases of construction (wall and door framing) taking place this week. We do have some issues to discuss in this area as well. We are finalizing work with furnishings and equipment and we continue to flesh out the additions with new items. Purchases of other equipment (student chairs/desks, teacher materials, and other necessary items are being processed at this time so these things can be in place by the start of school. Millenium Construction has submitted Application for Payment #12 for the amount of $37,838.50 for our approval. (This leaves a balance to finish including retainage of $187,417.49.) A motion to approve payment #12 for $37,838.50 to Millenium Construction was made by J. Kampwerth, second by Kruse. Roll call vote: Aye -Mike Nettemeier, Sean Kennedy, Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Jeff Kampwerth, Tanya Kampwerth, Tim Richter. Nay - None

Dr. Foutch and Mr. Meyer have been working to complete some of the summer projects discussed at earlier Board meetings. Some of the projects include fencing and the metal roofing and siding of outside buildings.

We have normally made line-item transfers every June. However, due to some major revisions from our budget approved last fall, we do need to amend the FY19 budget at the meeting. All this does is clarify the corrected steps and consider the revenues/expenditures we have made on several matters. Becky reviewed those at the hearing. (Our audit for FY19 is scheduled for the week of July 22-26.) A motion to approve amended budget as presented was made by Voss, second by Richter. Roll call vote: Aye -Mike Nettemeier, Sean Kennedy, Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Jeff Kampwerth, Tanya Kampwerth, Tim Richter. Nay - None

A motion to adopt the 2019-2020 BOE calendar was made by Richter, second by J. Kampwerth. Roll call vote: Aye -Mike Nettemeier, Sean Kennedy, Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Jeff Kampwerth, Tanya Kampwerth, Tim Richter. Nay - None

We had a current sub rate of pay at $84.00 per day for the past year. Making sure that we have a strong competitive rate of pay with area districts ensures that we can consistently obtain substitutes. Mr. Meyer recommended to maintain this rate of pay.

Similarly, it is also necessary to review the payment of athletic officials and gate admission prices for the 2019-20 school year. A motion to approve revised athletic officials pay and gate admission prices as presented was made by J. Kampwerth, second by Richter. Roll call vote: Aye -Mike Nettemeier, Sean Kennedy, Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Jeff Kampwerth, Tanya Kampwerth, Tim Richter. Nay - None

A motion to approve lunch/breakfast prices as presented was made by Richter, second by Kruse. Roll call vote: Aye -Mike Nettemeier, Sean Kennedy, Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Jeff Kampwerth, Tanya Kampwerth, Tim Richter. Nay - None

A motion to approve 2019-20 Fee schedule as presented was made by T. Kampwerth, second by Voss. Roll call vote: Aye -Mike Nettemeier, Sean Kennedy, Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Jeff Kampwerth, TanyaKampwerth, Tim Richter. Nay - None

The per diem reimbursement rates for staff attending conferences, tournaments, and other activities do not require revision. We have set breakfast, lunch, and dinner reimbursement levels to $6.00/$9.00/$12.00. (We continue to pay the mileage rate at the IRS level as per negotiated agreement.)

PRINCIPAL'S REPORT:

The School Improvement Team voted to explore the potential of making a substantial change to our master schedule. The change would involve switching from a 7 period school day to an 8 period day. Essentially, all students would take 7 courses and a study hall. The study hall would take place during the "8th" Hour. This change would allow our students greater options for electives and also limit the disruptions to learning that take place due to students missing class for athletic competitions. We would still maintain our 8:03AM to 2:50PM clock our hour school day, but each class would be approximately 45 minutes instead of 50. We will explore this change during all of our in-service training in the fall and Dr. Foutch will keep the Board updated as to the progress of those discussions.

Starting in the 2019-2020 school year, each parent will be provided a "Central Community High School College and Career Ready Checklist." This checklist will include all items that need to be completed (at each grade level) to ensure that their child graduates high school with the requirements needed to be considered either college or career ready.

The board entered into closed session on a motion by Richter, second by J. Kampwerth to discuss contract negotiations and technology employment (aide help). Roll call vote: Aye -Mike Nettemeier, Sean Kennedy. Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Jeff Kampwerth, Tanya Kampwerth, Tim Richter. Nay - None Motion carried at 8:25PM.

The board entered back into open session on a motion by Ricther, second by Kruse. Roll call vote: Aye -Mike Nettemeier, Sean Kennedy. Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Jeff Kampwerth, Tanya Kampwerth, Tim Richter. Nay - None Motion carried at 8:58PM.

The board adjourned the meeting on a motion by Kennedy, second by T. Kampwerth at 8:59PM. Roll call vote: Aye -Mike Nettemeier, Sean Kennedy. Mary Lou Voss, Amy Kruse, Jeff Kampwerth, Tanya Kampwerth, Tim Richter. Nay - None
