Superintendent Weber advised that he and Boardmembers Jodi Doering and Lisa Snedeker will be attending a legislative meeting on Thursday, December 11th, in Madison. The wrestling co-op was discussed. At the present time, the Woonsocket district has only two wrestlers participating. The Gover-nor’s address with a prediction of zero percent increase in education was also a topic of discussion. State statute dictates that education fund-ing must be increased by three per-cent or the rate of inflation, whichev-er is less. There may be a donation of services from DG&R Engineering in regards to the practice football field improvement/track project. More information will be forthcom-ing. The district is looking at a new el-ementary math curriculum (grades four through seven) and the faculty is reviewing samples at this time. Board Chair Jason White advised that he attended a football co-op meeting with a discussion held re-garding the appointment of a head coach as Mr. Kolousek has resigned the position. Corey Flatten will be approved as head coach with his open assistant coach position to be filled at a later date when the three districts may be hiring new staff. The football co-op will develop a written agreement to be followed by the dis-tricts. Homecoming football game dates were also discussed at the meeting with the consensus that the game would be combined only when the scheduled open dates would pre-clude separate games due to run-ning into late October. Currently, Wessington Springs holds their own homecoming football game and San-born Central and Woonsocket hold a joint game. Each district would con-tinue with their other Homecoming customs in either scenario. Lead Elementary Teacher Sarah Jensen updated the Board on ele-mentary issues. The staff has had a refresher AED and EpiPen train-ing. She is working with the clinic and Mylan to get four free EpiPens for the district. About 300 people attended the “Breakfast Buddies” event and enjoyed donuts with the students. The elementary staff and students are collecting items to do-nate to the food pantry. Mr. Bruce stated that there are no busing issues at this time. Motion was made by Todd Olinger, with a second by Jodi Doering, to approve the hire of Koch-Hazard Architects for services related to the freezer improvement project for the kitchen – the cost of the ser-vices will be between $5,000.00 and $8,000.00, not to exceed $8,500.00. Motion carried. It was moved by Neal Hiemstra, with a second by Jodi Doering, to surplus/salvage various kitchen utensils and pots and pans valued at less than $200.00 each. The surplus property will be disposed of as the district sees fit. Motion carried.

Motion

The pur-pose of the executive session as per SDCL 1-25-2.4 was to conduct the annual Superintendent evaluation. The Board reconvened into regu-lar session at 9:32 p.m. Motion was made by Jodi Doering, with a sec-ond by Todd Olinger, to approve a new three-year contract for Superin-tendent Rod Weber, effective July 1, 2020. Motion carried. There being no further business to come before the Board, the Decem-ber 9th, 2019, regular board meeting of the Woonsocket Board of Educa-tion was adjourned at 9:33 p.m. on a motion by Neal Hiemstra, with a second by Lisa Snedeker.
