The Crookston School Board will meet Monday, April 27 at 5:00 p.m. The meeting will be held in the choir and orchestra room at the Crookston High School (CHS). The meeting is open to the public, but the board members will join the meeting virtually to not overcrowd the space.
The consent agenda includes the following personnel items, approving the bus driver agreement for 2019-2022, approving an agreement with Kevin Weber as district technology director, approving the employments of Whitney Rupprecht as an industrial technology teacher, and Daniel Rooney as a special education instructor. Also included is accepting the resignation letters of Jill Dalzell as a music instructor at Highland Elementary School (HES), and Cindy Fahser as the family and consumer science instructor at CHS. The remaining items on the consent agenda are approving the March 23 meeting minutes, approving current bills, and accepting donations, the first are donations made to the kid’s meal program fund including $250 from VFW Auxiliary Post 1902 and $300 from the Nels T Would Unit 20 Auxiliary. There is a donation to the PATCH program of $1,000 from the United Way.
The main agenda includes the first reading of the 300 and 400 series policies, including updates recommended by the Minnesota School Boards Association to policies 303, 307, 413, 414, 419, and 421. The board will also vote whether to remove policy 424, requesting the superintendent to review teacher’s licenses annually, from the policy manual as the district has a licensing committee that performs that operation.
The board will also discuss reducing second grade by one section for the 2020-2021 school year as the current projection has a class size of just 69 students. The board will vote on a resolution for the termination and nonrenewal of the teaching contract of Danielle Johnson a probationary teacher and discuss the future of the alternative learning center. Superintendent Jeremy Olson will also provide the board with the superintendent’s report.
