Order #8 - Motion Passed:  Approval of the Agenda as presented passed with a motion by Mr. Stephen Chapman and a second by Ms. Cindy Powell.

• Financial G - Monthly Report

Mr. Borchers and Mrs. Wofford reviewed the monthly reports.

Regarding the HS SBDM minutes, Mr. Chapman asked about the note regarding Mr. Frevola's question about the minority policy. Mrs. Caudill responded that Mr. Frevola was just curious about the regulations behind the policy. Currently our very low number of minority students would not force the policy to take effect.

Ms. Powell asked for an explanation of the posting requirements and procedures that are in place. She asked specifically about the elementary aide position. Mr. Steffen reviewed that process he followed, which met the state requirements, and that the most qualified candidate was hired.

• Activities in September

• Coffee with the Community to Start Up Again
• Superintendent Letter Highlighting a Few Changes for 2014-2015

Mr. Borchers mentioned that he had discussed with the principals about adding an evening version of this program too, in order to reach parents or community members who could not attend in the mornings.

Mr. Borchers discussed the regulations behind this policy. Mrs. Wofford stated that due to the new policy, a financial report will be made public each month, embedded within the online version of the monthly board meetings.

Order #9 - Motion Passed:  Approval of the Consent Agenda passed with a motion by Ms. Cindy Powell and a second by Mr. Stephen Chapman.

• Minutes of the July Board of Education Meeting

Ms. Powell asked if our insurance provider recommends specific companies based on their published safety record. Currently, there is no such recommendation or comprehensive report. Mr. Borchers explained that we typically use only one or two of the companies on a regular basis. Mr. Wofford added that their main recommendation was to get rid of vans due to safety reasons. We no longer have the van because of this recommendation.
