202 - SCHOOL BOARD OFFICERS

[Note: The provisions of this policy substantially reflect statutory

requirements.]

I. PURPOSE

School board officers are charged with the duty of carrying out the responsibilities

entrusted to them for the care, management, and control of the public schools of

the school district. The purpose of this policy is to delineate those

responsibilities.

II. GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY

A. The school board shall meet annually and organize by selecting a chair, a

clerk, a treasurer and such other officers as determined by the school

board. At its option, the school board may appoint a vice-chair to serve in

the temporary absence of the chair.

B. The school board shall appoint a superintendent who shall be an ex

officio, nonvoting member of the school board.

III. ORGANIZATION

The school board shall meet annually on the first Monday in January, or as soon

thereafter as practicable, and organize by selecting a chair, a clerk, a treasurer,

and such other officers as determined by the school board. These officers shall

hold office for one year and until their successors are elected and qualify.

A. The persons who perform the duties of clerk and treasurer need not be

members of the school board.

B. The school board by resolution may combine the duties of the offices of

clerk and treasurer in a single person in the office of business affairs.

[Note: The organizational meeting is a good time for the school board to plan

for how to cancel and reschedule a board meeting. For example, the school

board could decide and include in the regular meeting schedule a provision that

if the school district closes early due to bad weather and calls off evening

activities, any school board meeting scheduled for that evening will also be

postponed and held at the same time and place the following evening.

The organizational meeting is also a good time for the school board to select the

school district’s legal counsel and the individuals authorized to contact legal

counsel. Usually, the authorized contacts are the board chair, the

superintendent, and the chief business official of the school district. In

addition, many school districts authorize their human resources director, or a

BOARD REPORT March, 2014

CURRICULUM

Our goal this year is to complete learning targets for all Essential Learning Outcomes (ELO’s) in all

subjects at all grade levels. With one more inservice day remaining we should be able to meet our goal.

Our administrators and instructional coaches have established curriculum and professional development

goals for the 2014-2015 school year. A copy of the goals is attached to this report and is presented to the

school board for approval. The focus for 2014-2015 will be assessment. During the 2014-2015 school

year an assessment task force will be organized with the task of reviewing our assessment program and

making a recommendation by the end of the year to the school board for a comprehensive pre-K through

grade twelve assessment program.

TESTING

March begins the spring testing season. During the month of March ELL (English Language Learners)

will be taking their state tests. MTAS for some special ed students will also be done in March. The

majority of spring testing is done in April and May with state MCA testing as well as local MAP

testing.

GED TESTING

Our application to become a Pearson VUE GED testing site has been completed and approved. I have

been certified as a GED Administrator. We are now a live site. GED testing will resume twice a month

beginning March 13.
