Superintendent Broskie advised the board there will be an additional item added relative to substitutes that would provide a daily supplement of $20 as a way to increase the pay of substitutes and attract individuals to this position.  He also outlined a new marketing initiative that would enable a parent to substitute at their child's school.

Superintendent Comments
2. Superintendent's Comments
Minutes:

Superintendent Broskie advised his attendance at the February meeting will be virtual due to his participation in the Chief Executive Officer Leadership Development Program (CEOLDP) training, which conflicts with the board meeting date and is not offered at an alternate time.  

The official launch of SaferWatch is February 1st and there will be a news conference with Clay County Sheriff's Office and related agencies.

A list of district events was also distributed to board members.

School Board Comments
3. School Board Member Comments
Minutes:

Mrs. Gilhousen requested consideration for an alternate time to hold Board Workshop/Agenda Review due to a conflict with a teaching position she will begin soon.  Superintendent Broskie inquired into the possibility of her flexing time or attending virtually to minimize the impact on district staff's regular working hours and further indicated he would accommodate the board's decision.  Mr. Bickner confirmed these changes would not require formal board approval and can be revised with board consensus.

Mrs. Clark advised she is happy about the proposed substitute solution and is still concerned about the pay.  Mr. Broskie indicated that the proposed addition of $20 per day is strategized to deal with the current situation, but a long-term solution to substitute pay must still be addressed in general.  Mrs. Clark also encouraged reading the bills currently in the legislation as she has concerns with some of the proposed legislation.

Mrs. Bullock will be adding an item to the agenda to appoint a prior applicant to the Citizen Advisory Committee, in order to fill a position vacated by an alternate in her district.
