Principal Soehren reported that
there will be a Teacher In-service in

the use of data for tracking student

State Longitudinal Data System (SLDS)
committee work which includes creating
an assessment calendar for the District
and creating a School District brochure
which will include information on demo-
graphics, academics, school activities,
student achievement, and the hot lunch
program. A preschool open house will
be held in February. February 14 will
be a snow day make up day. Soehren
and Stacey Kessel reported on RESP
issues and Soehren reported that she
email the new RESP newsletter to staff
and board members.
The board discussed the method to
use in conducting the principal evalua-
tion. An Educational Leadership Profile
survey was sent out to all staff. The re-
sults will be compiled by the ND LEAD
Center and sent to the board president.
It was the consensus of the board that
the school board members will com-
plete either the ELP or the evaluation
form provided at the meeting (or both)
and return their evaluation documents
to the board president. The board pres-
ident will compile the results from all
surveys and evaluation forms to use as
a resource in completing an evaluation
of the Principal.
Various staffing options were also
discussed. It was determined that this
topic will be further explored at the Jan-
uary work session.
It was determined that Business
Manager Simnioniw, Arthaud, Baranko,
Burian, Kessel, and Reis will attend the
negotiations seminar on February 7.
Simnioniw, Arthaud, Kessel, and Reis
will also attend preconference sessions
on February 6 which cover teacher non-
renewal and Superintendent selection.
The business manager reported on
the Pledges of Assets from First State
Bank, which are more than adequate
for current deposits. Burian moved,
Kessel seconded, to approve the
pledges. Roll call vote was taken with
all in favor.
A work session was scheduled at
the DeMores School on January 23.
Board members will eat lunch with the
students at 11:30 a.m., tour the facility
after lunch, and hold a work session
after the tour. No decisions will be
made at the work,sesSion. .............
The Busidess Manager reported on
the taxation in the county. Even though
the school levy was increased, the
county commission decreased the mills
they levied. Simnioniw noted that the
communication and cooperation be-
tween the county commission and
school board was a great benefit to the
county in mitigating the negative im-
pacts realized by the school from the
legislative action taken last session.
The meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
