October BOE Meeting

The board was reminded of the KASB Regional meeting in Lenexa and if any members wish to attend to get the registration from Connie or Mr. Gorman. The KASB annual convention is in Overland Park this year, the first weekend of December, members are encouraged to attend, once again, registration can be obtained from Connie or Mr. Gorman.

The BOE discussed paperless meetings but the consensus was to keep the meetings the way they are. We don't use that much paper and both sides could be utilized when copying to save paper, plus the cost of buying laptops for the board would pay for a lot of paper.

The annual USD 344 Employee Appreciation Night is set for October 16. The cooks will be preparing chili and cinnamon rolls. Serving will begin at 5:30 and conclude at 6:30 followed by the final home football game of the regular season.

The board accepted resignations of Mr. Charley Brock, JH/HS Counselor and Ms. Debbie Nall, cook. Mr. Brock will finish our the school year and Ms. Nall will work until October 14, 2009, we wish both of them the best. Jamie Rogers was appointed as JH assistant Girls basketball coach, Carolyn Epps was employed to replace Ms. Nall.

The next meeting of the USD 344 Board of Education is on November 9, 2009, the public is welcome to attend.
