The Kingsland School Board held their monthly meeting on April 15, 2013 in the Kingsland conference room. All members were present with the exception of Troy Asher. Also present was Superintendent McDonald.
In the first order of business consent agenda items were approved including April 2013 bills and policy adoption.
In public thank you and recognition, military veteran Norm Hecimovich was honored to present two Patriot Awards at the school board meeting. One Patriot Award was presented to Superintendent McDonald and the other was presented to the school board. Each board member and Superintendent McDonald also received a pin. Norm is the father of High School Principal Jim Hecimovich who has been active in the military and expressed the Kingsland schools support he has received when he has been called to duty. The Patriot Award comes from the Department of Defense and recognizes employers for the support they provide to the nominator.
Superintendent McDonald recognized the Robotics Team saying the entire school is “very proud of them” adding the group did “extremely well” and are looking forward to next year. Mr. McDonald congratulated the coaches, mentors, sponsors, and the kids.
Kingsland School has been given a School Finance Award. Kingsland has received this award several years in a row which is impressive. A thank you was given to the sponsors for the full page of Kingsland news in the Fillmore County Journal. These sponsors included Essig Agency, Greg Davids, First State Bank, and Sunshine Foods. An additional thank you was given to Cindy Gallea, a competitor in this year’s Iditarod, who gave a presentation to the Fifth graders.
The FFA report included news that 20 members will be attending the Region 8 banquet on May 5 and 33 people (10 teams) will be attending the State Convention on April 28. Finance/Facilities Committee met on April 3. One item of discussion was the sign fund. Curriculum/Personnel Committee met on April 8. Kindergarten round-up was held April 16. Teacher evaluations are finishing up. Policy/PR Committee met March 27. Policies for second reading were reviewed and the committee also viewed and discussed the Kingsland ad in the Fillmore County Journal.
The Business Manager report included an update on the budget and a review of the preliminary 2013-14 budget. 3.5 million of the 6 million dollar budget is .....
