011no comments moving on to consent agenda items approval of the minutes from our last meeting motion a second to approve the minutes from our last meeting all in favor say aye claims payroll only main difference in perils would just start and i filter in those um robotics coaching stipends and winter sports so those will be filtering in these next couple days all right second question second to approve payroll all in favor say hi financial summary just uh gave you the end of the month balance reports for february so you kind of see where we started out the year and that first column with the beginning balance then the february column shows what our beginning balance was in february and then that end column shows where it ended at the end of february not much change
012in what we normally see this time of the year so nothing of concern if you have any questions okay we'll move on excuse me uh uh personnel rick um yeah personal health recommendations i'd read all those words at once under employment we have dick lemming assistant track coach at northfield high school hillary moore junior high track coach at northfield and katie singleton temporary teacher at southwood high school under resignation we have kevin kling teacher at northfield and under leave we have employee number 120 and you see that that's been extended looks like the rest of this school year i moved to the hl report motion and second to approve the hr report has read all in favor say hi all right moving on oh you know what that's uh i started a new business but
013i wrote this heartland career center report man superintendent's report yeah i just want to two things though um and mr driscoll would not have known this but uh heartland kerr center today mr hobbs officer mr dupont and then mrs cordes actually presented at kiwanis today so i just want to recognize them obviously they did a great job and told them about a lot of the different programs are doing fantastic things there obviously and creating new programs and obviously with the building and a lot of things going on so that was good to hear an update i hear different updates but um of course our community service or our service pro service club was it's great to hear that i don't know if the other service club does anything like that but ours was great and
014it's always good so anyway congratulations to heartland and we appreciate all the work they do for our students and then also just want to mention again of course kobe 19 report our numbers continue to be really really low that's great and you saw that the map we are now blue yet to be blue or any color consistently or two weeks in a row and we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if anything changes there but now that pretty much all of our events for the most part will be outside um that will change things too we will still have concerts and different things like that i know they are limiting the number of tickets uh for honors band and choir which is kind of unfortunate via last year that was the very first thing
015that was canceled uh that friday night so we're very uh thankful that we can do tonight when we get done here with the academic recognition banquet that was also canceled last year so it's great that we can do that and all the other things so uh just a quick update there so we can move on so we can go to our next event mr drake you have a curriculum report uh i hope everybody that's able to come tonight takes a minute to say something melissa ball she put a lot of time and effort into doing the banquet organized it and it looks really cool and so um and it's her first one ever so you know how you are you nervous that you're gonna overlook something so uh but it looks bad it's gonna be
016excellent and of course we're gonna hear from dr lisa streeter which would be lisa duncan from southwood um from what class i'm not really sure so she's she's more she's gonna share and so um i do want to let the board know that we've had one student return virtually um out of the 25 or so that we have and so um parents felt like that was better for the kid and so we worked it out we're going to transition them back and we actually have another family that's looking to do the same so excited to have him coming back rather than heading out so hopefully by next fall that's not even an option that would be very very good for everybody all right moving on to new business just one item there a recommendation to
017approve a calendar change for march 19 2021 was was to be an e-learning day but because of the number of day e-learning days we've already had uh we're going to look to make that an in-person morning day let's hope the snow is over by march 19. making march 19th an in-person learning day rather than being an e-learning day all in favor say aye uh we have no unfinished business no board policy anybody join us okay no comments for everybody we'll give them just a second to have the stream catch up it looks like we've passed the stream okay all right so we passed the public comment any items from board members i'm just extremely hopeful that we can have full attended graduation this year tickets reservations no but the calculations that i did quickly even
018with the still being in yellow everyone could have like 12 tickets approximately so if we get to the blue then it will open it up enough there we won't have to worry about that at all so and really 12 for each graduate um it's quite a bit i mean some are going to have more than 12 but you know you can pass tickets around too so but that hasn't nothing has been determined but i just looked at those numbers and you know taking 50 percent of you know the the gym would be a thousand of course then taking the number of graduates those are all rough numbers but i thought that's still really really good better than last year of having two but if we stay blue um then we'll we can be 100 so
019we'll be fine but that could change obviously between now and june when we have graduation but we're very confident it's not going to change but it could so i mean we're we're going to move forward with our proms also and those could change too but right now we're looking at doing those awesome any other items okay returned
