The Dover-Eyota School Board awarded Greenway Co-op the gas and diesel fuel contract for the 2012-2013 school year. Greenway’s bid was the lowest bid. The school board put the decision off for one month because of problems they had with Greenway fuel in the past. District Transportation and Grounds Director, Dustin Pagel, had discussions with Greenway and feels confident those issues have been resolved.
Pagel also reported on the condition of the district’s school buses. “The fleet looks in very good shape,” said Bruce Klaehn, Dover-Eyota School District Superintendent. “We had said we weren’t going to replace buses until the 2013-2014 school year and it looks like we can stay on that schedule.” According to Pagel, one bus will need to be retired at the end of this school year. The district purchased four new buses in 2010. Pagel also recommended looking at software to help with designing bus routes for efficiency and cost savings.
The school board also approved the wording on three policies for the coming school year. They approved the Bullying Prohibition Policy, Open Meetings and Closed Meetings Policy and the Enrollment of Non-Resident Students Policy. A resolution was passed relating to the election of school board members. There are three school board positions that will be elected for a term of four years.
The district has avoided borrowing money but there has been some talk of short-term borrowing to meet financial obligations. “We are getting close but it is a little down the road,” Klaehn said. “Most school districts have to do it because of the state holding back money.”
The school board approved the Technology Plan presented by Bryan Berg, District Technology Coordinator. “It gives us a vehicle to look at where we are and what we are trying to do,” Berg said. School districts that want to remain eligible for federal technology funding need to have a plan to cover July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2015. The plan will be monitored and evaluated during the life of the plan. Goals will likely change over this period.
With the new school year getting closer, the new teacher workshop schedule is set and will begin Monday, August 20. The all-staff workshop schedule begins Monday, August 27.
