Board Chairman Dave Ruen congratulated the Lanesboro School Board members on their re-election at the regular school board meeting on November 17.
The minutes from the October 20 meeting were reviewed and approved along with the agenda for the current meeting.
The 2016 certified and non-certified contracts and the co-curricular contracts were all approved by the board.
Superintendent Matt Schultz updated the school board on the strategic planning committee. The second committee meeting was recently held with a good turnout from the community and school staff to discuss the school’s plans to continue to give its students a quality education and grow as a school district. One more meeting will be held before the strategic planning committee will be dissolved.
The audit report was reviewed. As this is Smith and Schafer Associates’ first year as the Lanesboro district’s auditor, the process is taking longer than usual. They are consulting with Pam Ristau, the district’s former auditor to ensure that all the information is gathered for the audit. The complete audit report will be available at the December school board meeting for the board to review.
The school board policies 417, 418, 418-Form, and 419 were adopted after their second reading. The board also conducted the first reading of policies 420, 421, and 427.
The next Lanesboro School Board meeting will be held on December 15 at 7 p.m.
