board. Superintendents approved
contracting with, Rick Smith, Effective Instruction, as the keynote
speaker. Mr. Smith will provide a three
hour presentation for under $5000.
Access to
District Databases
Dr.
Barnhart explained that the coop and the districts use different databases and
sometimes there are discrepancies between the two regarding student information
that is entered. In order to avoid
losing points at the federal level, this information must merge and match. To help alleviate the problem,
superintendents agreed to share accessibility to district databases with the
coop.
Copier Lease
The
current five year copier lease will expire in January. Superintendents have agreed to provide their
current copier contract information to assist in obtaining bids.
