Call to Order Chairman Amy Landers called the meeting to order at 11:47 a.m. II. Roll Call Chad Dance present Greg Calder present Paul Jenkins present via Zoom Scott Lynch present Amy Landers present III. Welcome Visitors and Delegations Others in attendance were Superintendent Dr. Scott Woolstenhulme, Chief Financial/Operations Officer Guy Wangsgard, Executive Director of Instruction & Learning Jason Lords, Executive Director of Planning & Personnel Heath Jackson, Director of Maintenance & Operations John Pymm, Director of Safe Schools & Technology Gordon Howard, and Board Clerk Mary Hansen. IV. Action Items: Approve/Amend the Agenda MOTION: Greg Calder moved to approve the Agenda. Scott Lynch seconded. Motion carried V. Discussion Item: Supplemental Levy & Plant Facility Levy Renewal Discussion John Pymm reviewed the Plant/Facility levy projects since 2016 and discussed the matching fund projects. He stated costs for big ticket maintenance items, i.e., roofs and asphault have risen over the last ten years. Most of the district building roofs have been replaced with steel roofing. Due to increased square footage, the cost of maintenance has dropped from $2/sq ft to $1.50/sq ft. Extra funds will help replace lighting with LED lighting, remove carpeting in the school hallways, and used to renovate older theaters. Matching funds from PTOs, community and Bonneville Education Foundation help fund projects at many schools. Mr. Pymm explained if any extra funds exist, they could be saved for future projects or a wish list. Having the necessary funding available for maintenance is important to keeping all buildings in good shape as they become older. Ground maintenance is often lagging behind due to other major items which need immediate attention. Discussion included the future of the emergency levy. The emergency levy is available when the district has an increase in enrollment due to growth in the community. When available to the distrct, it would be approved by the board. Future budgets will be written without the assumption of emergency funding. Reviewing the plant/facility and supplemental levies every two years is good practice. VI. Discussion Item: Chrome Books Fee Agreement/Use Agreement Gordon Howard presented information on Chromebooks. Mr. Howard explained the process of loaning out Chromebooks to every student and staff member in the district. The Chromebook will allow students access to educational applications, web- based tools and many other useful sites. All users will be expected to follow the Bonneville School District’s Computer/Network Acceptable Use Agreement (5330, 3270F, 3275P) as well as all other state and federal laws, board policies and administrative procedures. Documents reviewed were One to One Chromebook Student/Parent Responsible 2 Use Agreement and Voluntary Chromebook Protection Agreement. Chromebooks will be checked out to grades 3-6 on an as needed basis and checked out to all students in grades 7-12 for the school year. The voluntary protection plan will incur a $20 fee per device; this fee will cover repair costs or replacement if accidently broken. VII. Administrative Report: COVID-19 Update Dr. Scott Woolstenhulme presented information relating to COVID-19. The district posts updates on the webpage daily and continues to follow the health orders from the state and the EIPH. In the Governor’s order dated November 14, 2020, states specifically that gatherings are not to exceed 10 people, including attendance at extracurricular activities. This has brought many parents to their feet who have emailed their concerns and frustrations with this part of the order. However, since this is an order from the governor’s office, the district is mandated by law to uphold it. Options for parents to attend their students sporting events could be by participating as a scorekeeper, judge, announcer, etc. The administration and board advised parents to contact the governor’s office with their concerns since the order has been given by them. Board meetings going forward will be streamed for the public and physcial meetings will be held at the PLC Building that allows for social distancing. VIII.
