Discussion by the board with Mrs. Pritchett on the difference between Items V and VI. Costs of this agreement discussed. This agreement does not include the Child Nutrition funds for student meals. This agreement includes fees for insurance for chromebooks, student activity fees, physicals for participants in sports, musical events, and all extra-curricular events throughout the district. This system avoids fees charged by the bank for check and cash deposits. The funds go to the general fund. Item VI is for use of a credit cards at the event. Parents could pay for the student s physical and activity fee at the time the student is receiving the physical. The Square would be used to make payment at point of sale.

We currently use a substitute caller and building secretaries to secure substitutes, but this would cover much more than just securing a substitute to including tracking of days off and connecting this system to the payroll and employee leave software. Reviewed costs of employees needing a substitute and employees who do not need a substitute. Principals would be able to log on to see who is out in their building and if any classrooms are without a substitute. Aesop would allow a fluid transition of receiving information and recording it appropriately.
