Weekly Update 9/13/2013



Just a reminder - the Board will meet on Monday.  This is an important meeting as we will have our first readings of the 500 and 600 series policies, which are next up in the 3 year review rotation. This will be the first reading so Board members have the opportunity to review the policies before we vote on any changes during next month’s meeting.  We will also vote on the amended budget that was approved by the Finance Committee on Friday.  We will spend time reviewing the changes, but things look fiscally solid for the current year. 

Another item we will discuss during Monday’s budget presentation is the implementation of a target analytics strategy for our development software.  This program will help us obtain better information from the 12,000+ records we have our systems. 

The Scott County Catholic Schools Advisory Board met on Monday.  Discussion items included the plans for Diocesan education strategic planning, the impacts of the current teacher leadership compensation proposal by the DE, marketing strategies, tuition models, and upcoming Board training for the Scott County schools.

The Scott County K12 Marketing Committee met this week.  Agenda items included: e-newsletter, bulletin inserts, Catholic Schools Week, and marketing funds balance. We also spent time discussing the Teddy Bear program for newly baptized children, as well as ways for relators to help market our schools.

On the facilities side of things we had some of our floors refinished this week and spent time discussing the stair system that will need to be installed in order to finish off the top floor of the daycare for student use.  We also looked into Dewitt Community School’s newly installed heating and cooling. It is an interesting system which we may consider for future heating and cooling needs.
I filled in as director of transportation this week due to our current director’s vacation.  Of course the heat wreaked some havoc with cancelations and changes in scheduling.  It also didn’t help that we had a bus blow an oil line on Monday, that couldn’t be fixed until Thursday.  Luckily, everything worked out well and we everyone got where they needed to be.  Special thanks to all the drivers who put up with the “rookie” director! Have a great weekend, and I’ll see everyone Monday.
