Carried unanimously. Mrs. Perdue was not present to report. Mr. Heier reported we continue to monitor the progress of the on-line students and send out progress reports every two weeks. Some students are still falling behind and Mr. Heier may possibly look into offering online this summer. The sec-ond round of FastBridge screening is nearly complete with only 4 students left to test. Reading interventions for the 2021-2022 school such as Read180 and System44 will be used for tier 2 and tier 3 students. The MTSS committee is looking into how to build intervention times/periods into the grades 7 – 12 class schedule. We now have teacher openings in Math, English, Science and Business. We have received our student engage-ment results and are looking at how to improve emotional engagement specifically. We have also discussed

strategies to build relationships with students. The NDSA testing will occur in core subject classrooms during the regular school day for grades 7, 8 and 10. The teachers have identified specific standards to focus on for the remainder of the school year. Still looking for baseball and softball umpires. We will be hosting the NWC Volleyball tourney, District Volleyball tourney and District Girls Basketball tourney in 2021-2022. Mr. Schafer reported the COVID-19 group met today to discuss how long to continue with the COVID-19 rules we have in place. It was decided to open up some school access through the use of fobs. Budgeting is more difficult than ever this year due to many fluctuations and teacher un-certainties. We have looked into various health insurance options and are preparing to begin negotiations with the teachers. We have run into a few issues with the construction of handrail on the north side of the building for snow and ice removal. Mr. Schafer will continue to work with the engineers on this issue. Dave Madison, Transportation Di-rector, gave the bus report. The third safety meeting will be scheduled in the next couple of weeks. The fourth safety meeting will include driver training. The random drug testing

will be completed next week. Bus #10 is getting a new motor and will be placed on one of the Epping routes when returned. The suburban has a safety recall and is temporarily certi-fied to use until parts come in. The transportation shop needs a 10-ton floor jack. Madison has found one for approximately $1,300. Now is the time to look into getting a couple of new “used” buses, the trade in buses are up for sale. We will be providing two buses and drivers for the after prom party on Friday evening. Petition from the Ray Education Association was presented to be recognized as the negotiation unit. Pursuant to NDCC Section 15.1-16-10, the Board of Nesson Public School District #2 recognizes as the appropriate negotiating unit all employees licensed to teach by the ESPB or approved to teach by the ESPB and employed primarily as classroom teachers. Discussion was held to set meet-ing date to approve negotiating unit and set first negotiations meeting. A special board meeting will be held on April 7, 2021 at 6 pm to accept the negotiating unit, set ground rules and begin a budget work session. An additional meeting will be scheduled upon consulting with the negotiating unit.
