Cody Erickson from School Im-
provement Networks gave a presenta-
tion on a software package that could
be used by teachers and administrative
staff in tracking professional develop-
ment, provides web-based training
videos for teachers, modules allowing
for easy online collaboration with teach-
ers in other schools, and also includes
tools for evaluation of teachers. A mod-
ule for evaluating principals will be
available at a later date. Burian moved,
Arthaud seconded, to approve licen-
sure with School Improvement Net-
works for all certified staff for a three
year contract at $200 per year per cer-
tified staff. Roll call vote was taken with
all in favor. Reis discussed various op-
tions for principal and business man-
ager evaluations.
The playground project will not be
completed this fall. The estimate sub-
mitted was only good until December 1.
New estimates will be solicited for next
spring.
Estimates were obtained from three
different companies (PCS, SMART
Computers, and Midwest Investigation
& Security, Inc.) for installation of key-
less entries and security cameras at
both Prairie and DeMores schools. No
decision was made at this time.
Principal Soehren reported on the
sports co-op meeting she attended with
South Heart and Belfield. Burian vol-
unteered to serve on this committee to
represent Billings County School Dis-
trict. Certification status for both
schools was approved by DPI. Testing
of students is currently being imple-
mented. Soehren also reported on the
realignment of staff at both schools-due
to enrollment changes and the individu-
alized needs of students. Lynn Jorda
resigned as teacher's aide in Medora.
Amanda Costas was reassigned as the
pre-school aide. Another half day of
aide time is needed at Prairie. Arthaud
moved, Burian seconded, to approve
adding another half day for the part-
time teacher's aide at Prairie. Roll call
vote was taken with all in favor.
Business Manager Simnioniw re-
ported that the propane tanks and fuel
tanks at DeMores and Prairie were in-
spected. She is waiting for the inspec-
tion report from O-Day, the company
that provided inspection services. Ini-
tial indications are that anode bags may
need to be installed to protect the tanks
from corrosion.
The business manager requested
additional office help for the Medora of-
fice. Both Simnioniw and Peterson are
working well over 40 hours in a week.
An Office Assistant would do general of-
rice duties and would also be trained to
do payroll and accounts payable, al-
lowing for backup for these two vital
work efforts. Burian moved, Reis sec-
onded, to approve hiring part-time office
help up to 29 hours per week. Roll call
vote was taken with all in favor.
Reis, Arthaud, and Simnioniw re-
ported on information received at the
N DSBA conference.
NDSBA dues will be increasing by
approximately $236 for next year.
Discussion was held on the need for
BCSD board attendance at Belfield
School District meetings. It was the
general consensus that it may not be of
vital importance but BCSD board repre-
sentation will continue when possible.
Reis discussed concern with the li-
brary services schedule. With bookmo-
bile services scheduled two Mondays
per month at each school and with sev-
eral holidays falling on a Monday, there
are large gaps in service. This will need
to be considered when negotiating next
year's service agreement with the Dick-
inson Public Library.
The board expressed appreciation
for the service Kasey Malkowski pro-
vided in orientation for the new mainte-
nance person, assistance with air
conditioning problems at Prairie before
the maintenance position was filled,
and assistance with a security issue.
Simnioniw reported that the eaves at
Prairie are in need of repair. The board
agreed that Heritage, Inc. should be
contacted to provide an estimate for
that and several other small repair proj-
ects at Prairie.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:45
p.m.
