Board Hires EMS Principal
The personnel report approved by the board included the hiring of
Steven Bazan
as principal for Emporia Middle School effective July 1. Since 2014, Mr. Bazan has been the assistant principal at Comstock Elementary School in Frisco, TX. He earlier was an elementary assistant principal and he was a principal of a K-10 charter school.
Kindergarten Readiness
Vicki Schweinler, executive director of elementary education, updated the board of progress the district is making on the goal of having all students ready for kindergarten.
Emporia's response to the state's Kindergarten Readiness goal was already in place at Maynard Early Childhood Center. This school year, MECC has added a screener for all students entering the program to determine academic and social-emotional skill levels. Through the Mobilizing Literacy Grant, the district added a preschool teacher and is now serving 30 additional students. A part-time family liaison position also was added to work with families and private preschools. The position will be full-time next year.
A week-long kindergarten jump start also will be added before the start of 2017-18. Students who have had no preschool experiences will be invited to participate.
RecXtra Fee Schedule
The board approved a request to change the fee structure for RecXtra in 2017-18. Fees will be collected at a rate of $40 per trimester ($20 for reduced & $10 for free). The board also asked administrators to seek other funding options for the after-school childcare program.
Adult Education Levy Resolution
The board adopted a resolution to renew the half-mill levy for adult education.
Consent Agenda Approvals
- request to let bids for 17-18 Food Service supplies and food
- 17-18 KASB membership dues and NASB National Connection fees
- donation of $23,683 from the Hopkins Foundation for staff appreciation
- donation of $2,000 from the Hopkins Foundation to EMS for wrestling mats
