Board Members. Cheryl mentioned she has extra forms for her evaluation
if anyone needs one. There will be a full board meeting at TES at 7:30 on
Wednesday, February 15th. It will take place in the Multi-Purpose Room.
Old Business: GC septic agreement: A signed maintenance agreement was
received from the hospital attorney for a shared sewer line. Kathy would
like to make a correction: on page 2 #2 the agreement states that GC will
have access to the outflow meter. We don’t have an outflow meter. Kathy
spoke to our attorney and she advised to crossing out the out part of
flow so it would read flow meter not outflow meter. Kathy made a motion
to approve the agreement with the above correction and the motion was
passed. Kathy will send this agreement back to the attorney. This is an
agreement between TES and GC dba Otis Healthcare. Food Service-meal
provider question: Deborah reported that she talked with Carolyn re:
providing food service to a small school. This arrangement is not very
cost effective. Loree brought up the issue of a bigger stove for Carolyn.
Loree knows of someone that is willing to give the school a bigger stove.
. Kathy said we could check to see what the cost would be for setting it
up. and Deborah should call the Fire Marshall..
New Business: Fund balance questions: Kathy reported on the meeting with
the selectmen. Selectmen want to know why the money left in the fund is
not being returned? If the voters chose not to give us $55,000 it would
be used as a revenue.. L&G Assessment-town meeting information: The
Townshend Assessment is going up by $73,000 not $3,000.
Policies: We have 2 policies to warn on the next agenda.
Tech. Update: There has been no date set to visit Smart Boards per
Deborah. The teachers are looking at available dates.
Correspondence: Drug Testing: We have an issue in the way confidential
information is being handled. Deborah is going to contact the Vt. Cities
& Leagues and see if our bus driver’s drug testing can be sent to the
school and not the town hall.
Upcoming Meetings: March 29th is Super Board Mtg. at BES,
March 22nd ( School Board Retreat at Riverbend); April 5th might change
but Cheryl will keep the board posted; May 3rd, 2006.
Executive Session: Loree made a motion to go into executive session at
8:12 p.m. about a student issue. The board regrets that this student
request is denied. The principal will inform the employee of the
decision. The employee will be encouraged to inform the board of any
changes in residency. The board remained in executive session to do the
Superintendent’s evaluation and to discuss a legal/personnel issue. The
motion passed unanimously. A motion was made by Loree to leave executive
