She was told that decision couldn t be made until there is a business administrator in place. Mrs. Green asked why this contract hasn t been awarded yet. Dr. Ford stated he is not qualified to award this contract. Mrs. McArdle also stated that she tried to call the high school and the phone system is not working properly. She understands the phones are new but she needs his schedule to make sure the air conditioning units are in place because of the issues faced last school year. And when I call or email you (Dr. Ford), I need you to call me back, not Mr. Barnes because he is not in charge of mechanical stuff and he can t do the nursing contract. You are the acting BA. Christina Cheesman stated that she does not meet with the Early Intervention group or the school. She stated that she had to bring in documentation regarding her child and review it. She stated that her child was diagnosed with ADHD and wanted it added into his IEP for next year and was told that couldn t happen and that she would have to wait until they meet. She stated that it is not right. Mrs. Gray stated that maybe our district needs a meeting about procedures because it seems like there is a lack of consistency with procedures. Discussion followed. 11

Ginny Alcott stated that she wanted to piggyback off of Mrs. Cheesman that she agrees with her and that her son has a 504 and for the past 2 years she has had to call and schedule meetings, which is odd. And there seems to be no follow-up with paperwork and that she has had to call to remind them. Scott Peatman stated that he contacted Mr. Petito in guidance about a wrestling scholarship and has yet to receive any paperwork on it. Dr. Ford will follow up.

Motion by Mrs. Gray, seconded by Mrs. Green, after a Donaldson hearing, Laurie Hummel be reappointed for the 2017-2018 school year. Mrs. Jackson stated that her vote does not negate her feeling for the education that you have provided. She further stated that we don t have that state funding yet and so she has to stay with her original decision. Mr. Getsinger stated that is why he voted no. Mrs. Newcomb stated that her vote is no as well and it s because we don t have that funding in our hands as of yet and we don t know if we are going to get this every year or just one time. She said she would hate to say yes we can bring you back and then next year we re in the same position as we are today. To hear how you love coming to work and to hear your co-workers speak, it s very touching, but it s very sad as well. My answer is no. Motion does not carry.
