Technology Director Kim Myers about the complicated but beneficial
E-Rate (federal) 70% funding process
(and additional state funding) that allows schools to have internet
capabilities that would not be affordable otherwise. Cox is the current
provider and has made a significant investment in the Collinsville
school equipment. AT&T and Bixby Broadband & Telecom are also
bidding on the phone system. E-Rate funding for phone is 40% this
year but drops to 10% next year.

Fiscal Year 2016-2017. -- Approved (very low
estimate given uncertain state funding).

Education Policy Book. -- "First Reading"
only for potential changes: 1) increases in facility use fees 2) required
wording changes for facility use "prohibited" users 3) New
policy on "crowd funding" (GoFundMe for example) internet
fundraisers ... and need to get school board approval first.

Calendar. -- Approved, with four unused "snow"
days and continued cuts to state school funding, the final day of
classes for the current school year was changed from May 19th to May
13th. CHS graduation night remains May 16th and testing through May
12/13 made further cut off not feasible. The state minimum of 1080
hous will still be met. (revised
calendar 2015-16).
12) Discussion and Vote to Approve Changes to the 2016-2017 School
Calendar. -- Approved, the start date for the
next school year was moved a week later from August 11 to August 18,
2016. May 24, 2017 will be the last day of classes. Non-attendace

cuts to janitorial services, teachers cleaning their own rooms now,
cuts in lawn service, Lost our school social worker due to DHS cuts.
