The Stanton Community School District is the heartbeat of our community. It provides a healthy focus and is one of the most important assets we have. The privilege of providing an education for our young people is one we must never take for granted.

On Monday, April 14, 2008, the Stanton School District Board of Directors met in the High School Board Room at 7:30 p.m. for a budget hearing on the proposed 2008-2009 fiscal budget. President Bruning called the meeting to order with Directors Lindgren, Maher, Vanderholm and Magneson present. Superintendent Ashley and Secretary Olson presented the proposed budget estimate for 2008-2009, which is on a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis. The proposed fiscal budget includes a 10% Instructional Support Levy, a 50% Budget Guarantee of $58,733, maximum allowed Cash Reserve Levy of $6,586, and total tax levy per thousand of $12.51306, compared to $12.60894 the prior year. The budget is based on a district valuation of $48,725,105. The total budget for all funds is $3,313,449. Board approval was given to the proposed 2008-2009 budget and the budget hearing adjourned at 7:45 p.m. and the regular monthly meeting was immediately called to order.

Principal McClain reported the next meeting of the committee working on the grant application for the state wide voluntary preschool program for four year olds will be April 21, with the Letter of Intent due tomorrow, the application due May 9, and the districts to be notified by June 9 if they will receive funding. He also noted: there is no school April 18 to allow for a teacher inservice; the Stanton Friends feasibility study has begun to determine the potential for construction of a day care/preschool/library/wellness center in Stanton, with the Stanton City Council being asked to serve as agent in applying for funding on that project; kindergarten roundup will be April 14; track is in full swing; the Junior Viking/Viqueen Relays will not be rescheduled due to a lack of available dates; the elementary musical last Friday was a great show; excellent ratings were received at the state solo/ensemble contest held Saturday; on April 25 a program entitled “Think Fast,” emphasizing the consequences of decisions, will be presented to junior/senior high students, and on May 1 the elementary students are looking forward to a “Math Magic” presentation.

Superintendent Ashley reported negotiations have not yet been settled and mediation will potentially be scheduled, so ratification of the 2008-2009 Teacher Master Contract was tabled until the May board meeting.

Following review and discussion, an amendment to the current 2007-2008 budget was approved. The amendments increased the Instruction function from $1,718,747 to $1,725,000 due to additional Teacher Quality funds; the Support Services function from $861,670 to $870,000 due to increased costs; the Noninstructional Programs function from $115,910 to $118,000 due to increased costs; and Other Expenditures function from $147,831 to $193,000 to allow for installation of air conditioning in the elementary classrooms. This change in estimates of expenditures will be financed from receipts and balances not budgeted or considered in the current budget and there will be no increase in taxes to be paid in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.

Superintendent Ashley reported Board Treasurer LaDonna Rossander has submitted a resignation from that position effective at the end of her contract for this fiscal year, and her resignation was approved with thanks for a job well done. Board Secretary Olson will assume the treasurer duties.

Other resignations receiving approval were: Terry Miller from his position as elementary custodian effective at the end of May; Tom Johnson from his position as assistant high school custodian effective April 18, 2008; Bruce Subbert from his position as Head Softball Coach effective in 2009, and also from his position as Assistant Varsity Volleyball Coach effective in 2009.

Upon recommendation by Superintendent Ashley, Stephanie Parsons was hired as Assistant High School Custodian at $8.25 per hour for the remainder of the 2008 school year.

The Board reviewed and approved the proposed 2008-2009 school calendar, which has classes starting on August 20 and ending May 28, includes a winter break from December 22 through January 2, and spring break March 20

Upon recommendation by Superintendent Ashley, the salary of K-12 Principal McClain will be increased from $50,000 per year to $53,000 for 2008-2009.

Due to some population changes and some areas where bus routes overlap, Superintendent Ashley recommended elimination of the morning-only bus route, with those students absorbed into the other three remaining routes. This would save driving approximately 25 miles per day and one-half of a driver’s salary, which totals approximately $8,795 annually. Elimination of the morning-only bus route was approved.

Approval was given to a proposal from Henningson Construction for repair of the parking lot, which includes hot pour crackfill and backer rod where needed to repair larger cracks. The bid was $2.25 per linear foot for a total estimated cost of $1,012.50.

Effective July 1, 2007, the superintendent is to evaluate the principal based on six specific standards and the board is to evaluate the superintendent by those same standards. Each board member received a form outlining the standards, with instructions to complete and submit the evaluations to President Bruning or Secretary Olson by May 2 for compilation. A copy of the composite results will be given to each board member and also kept on file at school.

Iowa Schools Cash Anticipation Program is a nonprofit corporation that administers a joint exercise of powers agreement by Iowa school corporations and the Iowa Association of School Boards under the authority of Iowa Code Chapter 28E to provide an efficient and economical way to fund General Fund deficits and temporary cash flow shortages by issuing anticipatory warrants for qualifying school corporations. It was noted approximately 180 school districts currently participate in ISCAP to help meet deficit cash flow needs, and board approval was given for participation in this program.

David and Stephanie Parsons recently moved to Red Oak and approval was given to open enrollment applications for their three children from the Red Oak School District to Stanton starting in 2008-2009: Eighth grader David Andrew Parsons; 6^th grader Becca Parsons; and 1^st grader Madison Parsons.

An application to participate in the state-wide voluntary preschool program for four year olds received board approval. Funding for 20 students has been requested.

Superintendent Ashley reported: 67.71% of budgeted Operating Fund monies were expended to date compared to 63.76% last year at this time; Camblin has poured the concrete pad north of the elementary for the air conditioning unit and will be returning this week to continue the project; all support staff contracts are signed and returned; for 2008-2009 the Corner Conference has set admission prices at $5 adults/$3 students for varsity games and $3 adults/$2 students for JV and junior high games; on April 18 there will be no school and a teacher inservice will be held; the state wide one cent sales tax legislation has passed the Iowa House and now needs to be approved by the senate, and jeff.angelo@legis.state.ia.us can be emailed to encourage passage of this legislation; the new trophy case was built at an approximate cost of $2,400 and is now filled with trophies, with thanks to Rick Boyer and Don Hicks for their part in the project. End of the school year dates include: May 7, high school awards program at 1:00 p.m.; May 11, Baccalaureate program at 7:30 p.m.; May 12-13, senior trip; May 17, high school graduation at 7:30 p.m.; May 23, 8^th grade graduation at 7:30 p.m.; May 26, no school (Memorial Day); May 29, last day for students; May 30, staff development and checkout day.

Thanks to the hard work of teachers, support staff, students and parents we continue to have another outstanding school year.

On Monday, March 10, 2008, the Stanton School District Board of Directors met in the High School Board Room at 7:30 p.m. for a regular session. President Bruning called the meeting to order with Directors Lindgren, Magneson, Vanderholm and Maher present. Also present were Superintendent Ashley, Principal McClain, Secretary Olson, Celia Bruning, Lisa Tackett and Vicki Engstrand.

Principal McClain gave a summary of the school law conference he had attended, and also reported on: Completion of ITBS tests; meetings for the 4 Year Old Preschool Grant committee; the Spanish Club held two fund-raisers the past week, earning funds toward a trip to Spain in spring 2009; swing choir placed first at the Lewis Central competition; participating in state speech contest were John Mainquist, Chris Rogers, Christine Mainquist, Christine Lundgren and Chris Palmquist; track practice has begun, with the first junior high meet on Thursday, March 27, and first high school meet Friday, April 4; the Junior Viking/Viqueen Relays will be held March 31 and High School Viking/Viqueen Relays on April 14; a SEEDS inservice was held last Wednesday; Corner Conference Instrumental Festival will be March 13, elementary band concert March 14, pops concert March 17 and junior high/elementary Honor Choir on March 25; the state FCCLA Conference will be March 24-26.

Superintendent Ashley reported the initial Board proposal to the Stanton Education Association for the 2008-2009 Teacher Master Contract included: An increase of 4.5%, or approximately $48,976; addition of $570 to the base; career increment as per SEA proposal; a 2.5% increase for 2009-2010, or approximately $28,421; capping the current TSA at $418 per month, with TSA no longer offered to new teachers; monthly insurance amount paid by board increased by $39.07 for single plan, which would pay the full premium of $457.07, and an $81.30 increase for family plan, which would bring the total board monthly board amount to $894.30; and a 4% increase in supplemental salaries. Addition of a third medical insurance plan with a higher deductible and lower premium has also been presented.

Superintendent Ashley recommended to the Board that only the high school band travel and that the shared teacher travel to teach elementary and junior high band at each respective district. He cited transportation being cost prohibitive and taking too much time from core classes as two major concerns for having grades 5-8 band students travel. He also said that much work needs to be done yet aligning both the 7-12 daily schedules and school calendars. The consensus of the Board was to proceed accordingly for 2008-2009 school year, if the Villisca Board was willing to do so. Details of coordinating school calendars and daily schedules will be worked out by administrators and the teacher.

Two candidates had been interviewed for the 7-12 math instructor position, with the Board hiring Lee Haidsiak, for that position at an annual salary of 30,000 for 2008-2009. Haidsiak has a Masters degree, 35 years of experience as a teacher, coach and principal, and is currently retired from public schools.

Roxanne Lamb was hired to teach the summer 2008 driver education classes, with salary to be $180 per student. Fees for the 2008 drivers education course were set at $205 per student attending Stanton School, and out of district students would be charged $280 each.

A resignation by Jeff Grebin from his position as varsity boys’ co-head track coach was approved with thanks, and Shane Stephens was hired as varsity boys assistant track coach for 2009.

Recommended 2008-2009 wage increases of 2.5% for support staff, 3% for the board secretary/business manager, and $180 per student for the drivers’ education instructor were approved. A 2.5% increase for the 2008-2009 Athletic Director position was also approved.

Approval was given for the two following open enrollment applications for 2008-2009: Cole Ryan Kier, 7^th grade son of Lori Kier, from Red Oak School District to Stanton; and kindergartner Kegan Sundberg, son of Don and Stacey Sundberg, from Villisca School District to Stanton. Junior student Ashley Kier has moved from the Stanton District to Red Oak, however an open enrollment application is not required based on the Junior/Senior Rule allowing her to continue attending her former district until graduation.

Following review and discussion, an amendment to the current 2007-2008 budget was approved for publication. The amendments increased the Instruction function from $1,718,747 to $1,725,000 due to additional Teacher Quality funds; the Support Services function from $861,670 to $870,000 due to increased costs; the Noninstructional Programs function from $115,910 to $118,000 due to increased costs; and Other Expenditures function from $147,831 to $193,000 to allow for installation of air conditioning in the elementary classrooms. This change in estimates of expenditures will be financed from increased receipts and balances not budgeted or considered in the current budget and there will be no increase in taxes to be paid in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. A hearing on the proposed 2007-2008 budget amendment will be held during the regular Board meeting on April 14, 2008.

Superintendent Ashley and Secretary Olson presented the proposed budget estimate for 2008-2009, which is on a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis, meaning the July and August income and expenses for all funds are included in the June 30 ending fund balances. The proposed fiscal budget totals $3,313,449 for all funds and includes a 10% Instructional Support Levy, a 50% Budget Guarantee of $58,733, maximum allowed Cash Reserve Levy of $6,586, and total tax levy per thousand of $12.51306, compared to $12.60894 the prior year. Publication of the proposed 2008-2009 budget was approved. The hearing for the proposed 2008-2009 budget as set for 7:15 p.m. on Monday, April 14^th prior to the regular Board meeting.

The Board recommended the following people to serve on the 2008 Falk Scholarship Committee: Board member David Bruning, faculty member Linda Williams, and community member John Schultz.

Jeff Magneson and Mark Lindgren volunteered to serve as representatives from the school board on the Stanton Friends Committee. This group is preparing to do a feasibility study for a potential combination wellness center/preschool/daycare/library facility, and Principal McClain currently serves as a school representative on this board.

Superintendent Ashley reported: 59.81% of budgeted Operating Fund monies were expended to date compared to 56.73% last year at this time; congratulations to the swing choir on their first place win at the Lewis Central competition; March 20 and 24 will be snow make-up days as per the school master calendar; there will be no school on March 21 for spring vacation; a teacher inservice was held on March 12 and a state-funded teacher professional development day will be held April 18, so there will be no classes that day; a beautiful new trophy case to display state level trophies has been completed west of the concession window in the concourse, with thanks to the Booster Club for a $1,000 donation toward that project and thanks to Rick Boyer for building it and donating part of his labor; several large cracks have developed in the school parking lot and the company who installed it has been contacted to seal the cracks; congratulations to the boys and girls basketball teams and coaches on a very successful season; and the school year is going quickly, with lots of good things happening.

On Monday, February 11, 2008, the Stanton School District Board of Directors met in the High School Library at 7:30 p.m. for a regular session. President Bruning called the meeting to order with Directors Lindgren, Magneson, Vanderholm and Maher present. Also present were Superintendent Ashley, Principal McClain, Secretary Olson, and an audience of 21 people.

Principal McClain reported: The Webinar on the Neo 2 showed it would serve a similar purpose to a laptop for students to improve keyboard skills and be useful for completing Accelerated Reader tests, with a mobile lab of 30 units costing about $8,000 or $10,000 with training included; the elementary attendance awards program was held January 25; swing choir received a I rating at state contest and will perform next at Lewis Central February 29^th; there were two entries in district speech contest, with the group improvisation students receiving a I to advance to state, where they received a II; the winter band concert held last Friday highlighted movie theme music; the DIBELS scores for grades K-3 shows those students are doing well in early literacy skills; Iowa Tests of Basic Skills will be given the week of February 18-25; the next meeting of the grant committee for a four year old preschoolers program will be February 25 at 7:00 p.m. in the high school library; last week Principal McClain received training from Curtis Christensen on the software for a palm pilot; Stanton will host boys district basketball Thursday, February 14, with Stanton playing South Page that night, and the girls playing in district tournament finals February 12 at Bedford; track practice has begun and individual speech is coming; there will be a wellness blood screening for staff and spouses on March 6; the next SEEDS inservice will be March 12; and a committee is working on correlating school calendars with the Villisca School District.

Due to a significant drop in Stanton student enrollment and also student participation in the grades 5-12 band program over the preceding years, Superintendent Ashley recommended approval of a 28E agreement with the Villisca School District to share one teacher for both programs. Principals are developing a schedule to facilitate implementation, which would potentially involve both high school and junior high bands practicing together for one semester at Stanton and one semester at Villisca (transportation provided by school bus) and the teacher traveling to the respective schools for 5^th and 6^th grade band practices. The potential savings realized by Stanton School for sharing half the cost of one band instructor would be approximately $15,808, plus the additional .48 per band student weighting received by Stanton School for sharing, would provide an additional $9,184 in funding per year minus transportation costs. Superintendent Ashley noted the need for keeping the school cost effective and viable for coming years, however, first and foremost providing a better band experience for our students long term than what they have now because of low numbers of students in band. High school band has dropped from a high of 53 in 2000 to a low of 16 now. Junior high band has dropped from a high of 35 in 1999 to a low of 23 now. He also reported the overall K-12 enrollment has dropped from a high of 331 students in 1999 to a current low of 268, and based on current per pupil funding this translates into a loss of $335,979 annually. Following discussion by the Board and input from the audience. On a 3-2 vote, the Board approved a 28E agreement with Villisca Community School to share grades 5-12 band program/position for 2008-2009, providing a satisfactory schedule can be worked out.

The Budget Guarantee (ability to levy property taxes to make up for declining enrollment) continues to decline at 10% per year, which means for the 2009 fiscal year the school can only levy back 50% to generate $58,733 in funding. Superintendent Ashley noted an ongoing decrease in resident student enrollment (13 students last year and another 19 students this year) makes approval of the Budget Guarantee an important aspect of the funding process. The following motion received Board approval: RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of Stanton Community School District, will levy property tax for fiscal year 2008-2009 for the regular program budget adjustment as allowed under Iowa Code section 257.14

The independent auditor’s report by Nolte, Cornman and Johnson for fiscal year 2007 was reviewed and approved.

The following open enrollment applications into Stanton Schools beginning in 2008-2009 were approved: from the Red Oak School District - Shandel Homes, 11^th grade daughter of Jeremy and Michele Bartlett, and Starr Sunquist, 4^th grade daughter of Holly Sunquist; from the Clarinda School District - 1^st grader Anthony Blackman, and 5^th grader Kenny Blackman, children of Tonya Reed; 4^th grader Nicolas Bolton and 1^st grader Dacota Bolton, children of Stacy Bolton.

Superintendent Ashley reported notice has been received from Iowa Schools Employee Benefits Association (ISEBA) that Stanton School’s medical insurance coverage, which is administered through Wellmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield, will have a zero percent increase for the 2008-2009 year. Benefit Professionals had contacted three other insurance carriers for bids, however Stanton School will continue with the current medical insurance coverage through ISEBA.

Upon recommendation by Superintendent Ashley, Kevin Cabbage was hired as Assistant Baseball Coach for summer 2008 at a salary of $1,200, pending obtaining coaching license/certificate prior to beginning of the season.

Superintendent Ashley reported: 52.42% of budgeted Operating Fund monies were expended to date compared to 49.99% last year at this time; three snow make-up days will be February 18, March 20 and March 24^th, as per the approved school calendar; new laws were put in place as of July 1, 2007 regarding Administrator Evaluation, with six standards in place for the superintendent to evaluate the principal and also the Board to evaluate the superintendent, and an IASB workshop on those standards will be presented at Corning on February 26^th. The initial Teacher Master Contract proposal from the Stanton Education Association (SEA) included moving the base from $25,175 to $25,865, with that additional $690 added throughout the pay scale, increasing supplemental pay by 4%, increasing tax sheltered annuity payments by 10% to $460 per month, increasing the school’s cost of family medical insurance by 5% to $853.50 per month and single medical insurance by 10% to $460 per month, for a total package of 4.5% or $48,679, and requested language items included the addition of a fourth paid personal day per year, dismissing two hours early or starting two hours late twice per quarter to allow teachers more time to plan, do curriculum work, work on grades and select textbooks. Superintendent Ashley noted the Board Finance Committee (Lindgren, Magneson and Ashley) will meet with the SEA on February 20 at 7:00 p.m., and are looking at a two year contract, discussing tax sheltered annuities and higher medical insurance deductibles, some language items, and ensuring raises for all teachers are as equal as possible. He also noted there has been no more information on our school break-in, however many places in Southwest Iowa had also experienced break-ins around that time, and our insurance coverage will reimburse the cost for repairing damaged doors and loss of cash except for the $1,000 deductible; Iowa Tests of Basic Skills will be the given the week of February 18^th; the students did a really fine job at the winter band concert, swing choir competitions, speech contests and in athletics; the school year is very busy but going well overall with staff and students working hard.

Mickey Anderson gave an update from the Stanton Vision Committee, noting a potential trip to Anita and Dunlap to tour facilities that include a preschool, daycare, library and wellness center. The goal is to work with the Iowa Economic Development group in doing a feasibility study for providing such a facility in Stanton. He noted that this would be a community project with needed support from the Stanton City Council.

A motion by Lindgren for adjournment received a second by Maher and carried 5-0. The meeting adjourned at 10:30 p.m.

On Monday, January 14, 2008, the Stanton School District Board of Directors met in the High School Board Room at 7:30 p.m. for a regular session. President Bruning called the meeting to order with Directors Lindgren, Magneson and Vanderholm present. Also present were Superintendent Ashley, Principal McClain, Secretary Olson, and the audience included Sheryl Porter, Lisa Tackett, Sherry Vogel, Morgan Porter, Celia Bruning, Greta McCarthy, Matt Osher, Tom Osher, Carolyn Johnson and Laurie Peterson.

Principal McClain reported the results of a staff survey on technology integration; more research will be done on the potential for using a NEO system in the elementary for writing assignments and AR testing; having student grades available for parents to access online would cost an additional 55¢ per student on the JMC system; coaching evaluations are done for summer and fall sports; the Aaron Davis presentations for students, staff and community on January 7 were well received; AEA Math Consultant Donna McClain will be modeling math lessons for some elementary classes; the Accelerated Reader party will be held Thursday, January 17 at 2:30; DIBELS testing on elementary reading comprehension will begin Monday; the awards program for first and second quarter and first semester attendance will be held January 25 at 9:00 a.m.; there will be no school on January 28 when the teachers attend a SEEDS inservice session; and he will attend a summit on Wednesday for training in writing a Pre-Kindergarten grant.

Superintendent Ashley reported bids for air conditioning the elementary classroom area of the school had been received from Camblin Plumbing and Heating for $82,500.00, and from Jones Mechanical for $112,103.60. Following discussion, the board accepted the $82,500 bid from Camblin’s, with the project to be funded from Local Option Sales and Service Tax monies.

The Board approved a 28E agreement with Villisca Community School for 2008-2009 that would allow students to take classes in the other district if their home district does not offer that class. Superintendent Ashley noted an additional .1 weighting in state funding is allowed for each student that is shared in this manner, and the school currently has 28E agreements in place with Southwestern Community College and Iowa Western Community College which provides the opportunity for Junior and Senior students to take classes through those institutions

Stanton band students currently number: high school 16, junior high 23, 6^th grade 9 and 5^th grade 11. Villisca’s band student numbers are: high school 25, junior high 14, 6^th grade 9, and 5^th grade 13. Stanton high school band members numbered 53 in 1999-2000 and the junior high band members numbered 35 in 1998-1999. The Board discussed the viability of one instructor being shared by the Stanton and Villisca School Districts who would teach band at both schools and also the scheduling and transportation needs that would entail. Superintendent Ashley noted this decision is being considered due to budget constraints. Because state funding for schools is based on the number of students served, the continuing decline in enrollment for most Iowa schools has resulted in a substantial loss of funding. Stanton’s enrollment numbers have declined by 32 students over the past two years, which translates into a loss of approximately $171,000 annually. Following Board discussion, the audience shared thoughts and questions on this proposal. To allow time for public input on sharing the band program and instructor position, this option will be on the February 11 agenda to be considered for action by both school boards.

Superintendent Ashley reported that he, Principal McClain, Sheila Mainquist, Katie Hart (Director of the Stanton Child Resource Center), and an AEA person are working together to complete a grant for funding of four year old preschoolers for 2008-2009. Approval of the preschool grant would translate into a .6 weighting, or approximately $3,200 per student, to fund instruction for four year old preschoolers and also require meeting state requirements that include 10 hours of instruction per week by a certificated person and one home visit per child per year. Superintendent Ashley noted the Stanton Child Resource Center has a current enrollment of 136 children, which includes part time, before school and after school children. It has been a great addition to the community, and the school and SCRC working together will create definite advantages for the children.

The Board accepted with thanks and best wishes the resignation of Erin Bailey, math instructor for grades 7-12 math and school play director, due to her marriage and move from the state at the end of this school year.

Superintendent Ashley proposed rental of the big blue 1997 school van to the Stanton Child Resource Center for their use in transporting students from SCRC to Good Shepherd Preschool at Mamrelund Lutheran Church. This would help meet the transportation needs of our area preschoolers from SCRC to Mamrelund Lutheran Church three days per week. The SCRC currently pays Southwest Iowa Transit approximately $300 per month for this service. Board approval was given allowing the Stanton Child Resource Center use of the 1997 van for transporting children to Good Shepherd Preschool three days per week, with the SCRC to reimburse the school $50 per month for gas and maintenance of the vehicle.

Superintendent Ashley reported: 44.56% of budgeted Operating Fund monies were expended to date compared to 42.87% last year at this time; Jim Parker, who is running for the Iowa Senate seat to replace Jeff Angelo, has shared his thoughts on school issues and supports small schools; the first negotiations meeting for the Teacher Master Contract will be held January 30 at 3:45 p.m.; the school plans to build a trophy case that will hold state championship trophies, and would be constructed next to the concession window in the concourse; On January 7 Aaron Davis spoke to staff, students and parents on leadership, decision making, life skills, and what it takes to be successful and effective in every area of life; advertisements have been placed in local newspapers seeking a 7-12 math teacher and also an assistant baseball coach for summer 2008; January 11 was the end of the first semester; there will be no school on January 28th due to a teacher inservice; snow make-up days will be February 18 and March 20 as per the school calendar; there will be an After Christmas party at The Bank in Villisca on Saturday, January 26, at 6:30 p.m. for all Stanton School staff, board members and spouses; and the school year continues to be very busy but going well.
