NS Seeking Asphalt Bids

  The North Shelby School Board met on Wednesday, January 15. Board President Scot Shively brought the meeting to order.

  Public Comment – 

  The board received several thank you notes from staff members for the Christmas appreciation gifts they received.

  Superintendent Report – 

  North Shelby Superintendent Kim Gaines told the board they had two more candidates for the BOE seats for the April election.  Those running to fill the three seats are Shawn McEwen, Keith Killen, Joshlin Yoder, Michael Orr and Jason Pollard.

    New Business – 

  Gaines informed the board about the need for an overlay on everything that is asphalt.  The board will be taking bids for this work to be completed in the summer. 

  The board discussed getting a new football scoreboard. Gaines told the board she will contact providers and bring options to the next board meeting.

  The board approved three policy updates and one regulation.  Policy 1210 mandates that no school district may start school more than 14 days prior to the first Monday in September.  In the past, districts were allowed to do this with board approval.  Now, there is no leeway. Policy 2640—Student Use of Tobacco, Alcohol, and Drugs—the addition to this policy now bans Cannabidiol (CBD) products from district premises and at school related activities.  Policy and Regulation 4871—Driver Drug Testing-Districts must now register with the Commercial Driver’s License Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse.
