CONTRACTScience classes for the first semester. Mrs. Jensen
served in this capacity during a time we were unable to employ a full-time teacher. Paige Bolton student taught with Mrs. Jensen this fall and has completed licensure requirements.
Because Mrs. Jensen was contracted for the first semester, it is necessary to terminate the contract, effective January 11, 2013. A copy of the Termination Notice will be available at the meeting.

WEATHER CANCELLATIONSadopted last year, the schedule for making up
cancellations due to inclement weather is:
Make-up for December 20 - Classes will be held Friday, January 11, with a three-hour early dismissal to provide end-of-semester work time for teachers.
Make-up for December 21 - Classes will be held Monday, February 18 (originally scheduled as a full-day for professional development), with a three-hour early dismissal and professional development scheduled until 6:30.

RECOMMENDATION:Approve the purchase of a Fair-Play, 28’ softball
scoreboard from Iowa Direct Equipment Appraisal; $10,500, plus $5,900 for installation. Jeff Sinnard felt that the quoted installation cost would be less than if we have to purchase the steel, pay for concrete, and rent equipment to lift the scoreboard and put it in place. As of January 10, $25,000 has been deposited in the softball account.
