When choosing a home healthcare agency, there are numerous factors to take into consideration. Finding an agency that has home healthcare aides who live within a reasonable distance to the client is important to ensure that visits will be timely. Testimonials from others who use the services of the agency are valuable information. Ask when care-giving services are available. Would the agency be equipped to handle 24-hour care services if necessary? Are services available on weekends and holidays? Find out how about any accreditations and certifi cations the agency has, and inquire about the bontinuing education and evaluations regarding their healthcare aides. Also, ask how aides are qualifi ed prior to their employment with the agency. Ask a home healthcare agency if they offer transportation services.

By Forrest Hershberger News Editor Monday night, the Re-1 Valley Board of Education approved a list of four fi nalists in the search for a new district superintendent. The four fi nalists are Jan Delay of Longmont, Matthew Neal of Edgewater, Ron Pfl ug of Fort Morgan and Matthew Snyder of Lamar. They were selected from a fi eld of 17 applicants. All four candidates will participate in an interview process April 26-27. A meet and greet is scheduled for Fri., April 26, with the time to be announced. The board also approved a list of 18 local people to participate in the interview committee. Interview

committee members are required to attend a training session lead by Randy Zila of the Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) and then take part in an all-day interview process with the fi nalists. District Superintendent of Schools Dr. Betty Summers is retiring after 10 years of service to the district. She started with the Re-1 Valley District in 2003. Her resignation is effective at the end of the school year. In other business, Deb County, a Frances Gillespie Excellence Award Committee member, said the committee nominated Rece Herboldsheimer as the 2013 recipient of the Frances Gillespie Excellence Award. Later in the meeting, the board approved the Herboldsheimer as the award recipient. The board also received a budget report that implies more good news. The revised budget presented by County and Summers, with additional information from the School fi nance Unit of the Colorado Department of Education, shows a potential increase in per pupil funding for 2013-2014, and a slight reduction in reserve requirements to balance the revised budget. The updated information will be shared with the District Accountability Advisory Committee next week. David Monheiser, Evaluation/Performance Council Member, presented the recommendation of the district’s Evaluation/Performance Council to move to the Colorado Department of Education evaluation tool for all teaching and administrative staff for the 2013-2014 school year. Monheiser explained that the

District tool would require adding “phase 2” to the process next year, and Council decided staff would benefi t from applying the entire CDE tool with training and support instead of adding the next part of the Re-1 Valley evaluation tool. The proposal was approved by the school board. Cost of the Sterling High School Food and Fitness labs will be reduced by $10 for the 2013-2014 school year. The board also approved a $10 late registration fee at SHS, and a $25 supply fee for the Learning Center. The board also approved the

purchase of 65 Hewlett-Packard desktop computers at a cost of $42,315. The funds will come from the mill levy override. The board also approved Rob Busmente as the new Sterling High School head football coach, accepted the early retirement of Sharon Wright, Campbell fourth grade teacher, and the resignation of Kim Tappy, SHS special education teacher. The board also approved overnight trips for J.P. Lambrecht and two adults to chaperone 32 Caliche High School FBLA

students to Vail April 21-23 for the state leadership conference, Debra Meece and four adults to chaperone 40 SHS FBLA students to Vail for the same conference; Todd Thomas and one adult to chaperone 13 CHS FFA students and Jonathan Spreng and one adult to chaperone 23 SHS FFA students to Fort Collins May 5-6 for the FFA Career Development Event Contest; and Joleen Rinaldo to chaperone four HOSA students to Nashville, Tenn., June 25-30 for the HOSA National Leadership Conference.
