ITEM 4.2
Manhattan-Ogden Unified School District 383
Special Recognition Form
Name of individual/group to be recommended: Cooper Lohman
Date: March 2, 2016
Description of this individual’s/group’s achievement or accomplishment:
Congratulations to AMS 7th grader Cooper Lohman! She was recently named one of the
top two youth volunteers in Kansas for 2016 by The Prudential Spirit of Community
Awards, a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of
volunteerism.
Cooper spearheaded a drive to fund and build a multi-purpose outdoor stage at her
elementary school – Amanda Arnold - to thank its staff and students for a truly amazing
experience. “I wanted to do something great for the students and teachers to use after I had
left,” she said. After much thought, she settled on the idea of building an outdoor stage that
could be used for plays, assemblies, recess activities and outdoor classroom sessions.
Once she gained the support of the school’s principal, teachers, PTO and students, Cooper
enlisted an architect to draw up plans, and put together a committee of students to help.
She then set up an account on a crowd-funding website and made fliers seeking donations.
When it was time to begin construction, Cooper recruited volunteers to help build the
stage. After almost a year of work, the stage was finally completed. Cooper said it makes
her happy to know that future generations of students will reap the benefits of her efforts.
“My younger sister still attends the school, and it fills my heart when she comes home and
tells stories of how students enjoy playing and learning on the stage,” she said.
As a state honoree, Cooper will receive $1,000, an engraved silver medallion and an allexpense-paid trip in early May to Washington, D.C., where they will join the top two
honorees from each of the other states and the District of Columbia for four days of
national recognition events. During the trip, 10 students will be named America’s top youth
volunteers of 2016.
Congratulations again to Cooper Lohman – we are proud of you!
We also want to give a shout out to a 2016 Distinguished Finalist – Ethan McPherson, an
8th grader from Eisenhower Middle School. He spent a year developing his school’s first
agriculture club, which started at the beginning of this school year. Ethan, who started the
club to increase awareness of the importance of agriculture, has already created a
schoolwide recycling system, and is working on an automated watering system for the
school’s gardens.

MHS Track Hurdles
Prepared by:
Greg Hoyt, Principal, Manhattan High School
Mike Marsh, Athletic Director, Manhattan High School
Background Information:
Sometime prior to the calendar year 2000, a set of hurdles were purchased by the Manhattan
High school track program. The current set of hurdles that the high school program uses are
greater than sixteen years old. These hurdles are used by not only the high school program, but
also the middle school track program when hosting track meets at Bishop Stadium and a few in
the summer months by the Manhattan Track Club.
Current Considerations:
The purchase of a new set of hurdles will take place March 3, 2016 so that when student/athletes
from all grades 7-12th can then participate in hurdle events knowing that the hurdles are safe to
race with on the track at Bishop Stadium. Purchasing a set of new hurdles will not only enhance
the safety of the events but bring a pride factor to having new equipment and in the expectations
of a quality learning environment in which students want to participate.
District Goal:
11. The district and the schools will provide a safe and orderly environment.
Board of Education Policy:
DJFA Purchasing Authority
Financial Implications:
Proposed funding for the hurdles from Aluminum Athletic Equipment Company is from the
Manhattan High School Booster Club, Manhattan High Track 12.83400.610.40.407.00 and the
Athletic Contingency 12.83400.999.40.000.00 of Manhattan High.

Disposal of Soccer Goals at Lee School
Prepared by: Nancy Kole, Lee School Principal
Background Information:
In 2013 Lee School purchased large soccer goals for the school field. The landscape committee
would like to now sell these goals to Manhattan Parks and Recreation Department for the
following reasons: (1) the goals are hard to move, despite the wheels that were installed, and the
grass wears out very quickly in front of them (2) the nets are expensive to replace and wear out
within a year (3) students create a variety of their own games using the goals that can result in
injuries. The cost for the goals in 2013 was $1,459.99 plus shipping of $321.00. Parks and
Recreation has offered $700.00 and we would like to sell them for that price. The money would
be returned to Lee and it would cover the cost of purchasing smaller, portable goals.
Current Considerations:
The Lee field has just been reseeded and will soon be ready for students to use. We would like
to replace the large goals with smaller ones as we begin using the field this spring. If we do not
get this accomplished, then the grass in front of the current goals will become worn again and
bare dirt/mud will be the result in those two sections of the field. Portable goals will be rotated to
different parts of the field to solve this problem. The new goals can also be removed from the field
and stored easily.
District Goal:
5. The district will provide support of programs through existing and new resources.
Board of Education Policy:
DFM Equipment and Supplies Sales
Financial Implications:
Proceeds from the sale will be deposited in the Lee School Capital Outlay Fund.
Recommendation:
The administration respectfully recommends that the Board of Education give final approval (A2)
to sell the Lee Elementary soccer goals to Manhattan Parks and Recreation.
Recommended Motion:
“I move to give final approval to sell the Lee Elementary soccer goals to Manhattan Parks and
Recreation.”

MHS-E Central Plant Upgrade Project
Prepared by:
Matt Davis, Director of Maintenance and Facilities
Eric Reid, Assistant Superintendent
Background Information:
The aging chiller at Manhattan High School East Campus has been a concern for a number of years,
costing the district a significant amount of money to operate and maintain. During the last chiller rebuild
in 2012, the technicians performing the work noted that the chiller had less than five years of useful life
remaining, baring no other failure by main components. In 2013, the district commissioned a facility study
by Gould Evans, and Olsson Associates Inc. was the subcontractor that evaluated the HVAC portion of
the facility. This study recommended options for the district to consider by urgency and cost priorities.
The completion of the chiller replacement project would be a step towards the recommendations noted in
the study and would help to provide continuous cooling to the building during the cooling season. Based
on the recent work of Olsson Associates Inc. at MHS-E, they were requested to submit a proposal for
services to complete the chiller replacement project. On October 21, 2015, the Board of Education gave
final approval for Olsson Associates Inc. to prepare a proposal and provide the professional services
needed to facilitate the replacement of the chiller. On December 16, 2015, the Board of Education
approved the pre-purchase of the chiller equipment from Associated Equipment Sales and on February 2,
2016, the Board approved PCI Mechanical to perform the upgrades to the Central Plant.
Current Considerations:
When the chiller equipment bids were submitted in December, the base bid of $143,351, included a 5year compressor warranty. A bid alternate to add an additional 3-year compressor warranty for $15,158,
was submitted but was not recommended at that time due to the unknown installation bid costs. With the
installation bid costs coming in at $139,193 less than the engineers estimate, we would like to purchase
the additional 3-year compressor warranty for $15,158. This would provide the district with an 8-year
compressor warranty on the new chiller.
District Goal:
11. The district and the schools will provide a safe and orderly environment.

Parents as Teachers Program Annual Report
Prepared by: Brandy Kirk, Director of Parents as Teachers
Deb Howser, Executive Director of Special Services
Background Information:
The USD 383 Parents as Teachers program began in the fall of 1990. It is a voluntary educational
program for all pregnant mothers and parents with children up to the age of three years. Additional
grants provide funding for families with children up to kindergarten entry. The program vision is for
all children to learn, grow and develop to realize their full potential, enhancing school success
through cognitive abilities in general knowledge, language, literacy, mathematics, social-emotional
development and academic achievement. Parents as Teachers provides the information, support
and encouragement that parents need to help their children develop optimally during the crucial
early years of life.
The Born to Learn Curriculum, developed in partnership with Washington University School of
Medicine, incorporated neuroscience information. Born to Learn underwent an overhaul in 2011,
resulting in the Foundational Curriculum. It expanded upon the research of the Born to Learn
Curriculum to encompass the whole child and family. The Foundational Curriculum incorporates
the Strengthening Families Approach, which strives to build a strong foundation for each family to
enable them to have the knowledge and access to resources to support healthy growth and child
development. As a research based program, Parents as Teachers emphasizes the importance of
preparing children to be successful in school. Educators provide information, support and
encouragement to parents in the critical early years of the child’s development, setting a pattern of
parent involvement that carries on through the school years. The Parents as Teachers curriculum
covers the four domains of development (cognitive, motor, social-emotional and language),
emphasizing increased parent knowledge of child development, and focuses on parent-child
activities that foster child development. Early literacy and language development provide a
foundation for school achievement. In addition to child development information provided during
each monthly visit, Parents as Teachers provides annual developmental, vision, hearing and
health screenings for each child. While child development is key in school readiness, research has
shown that family well-being plays an equally important roll. To encourage self-directed familywellbeing, educators coach each family through the process of setting and progressing towards
goals they’ve identified. Parents as Teachers recognizes the importance of empowering families
to access needed resources. We have a system in place to identify and track referrals for each
family to the resources the parent has identified as needed.
Program goals include:
1. Increase children’s school readiness and school success.
2. Provide early detection of developmental delays and health issues.
3. Increase parent knowledge of early childhood development and parenting practices.
4. Prevent child abuse and neglect.
Current Considerations:
In 1992, the school began funding the program at $80,000 a year. In fiscal years 2005 through
2008 the Board authorized an additional $25,000 from local sales tax to enlarge the program to
include the many families moving into the community. In fiscal year 2009, Parents as Teachers
lost the local sales tax funds. The Board of Education replaced those lost funds with $20,000 of
district money. With the additional money and the Kansas Children’s Initiative Fund match money,
the program has been able to serve an additional 50 children. In 2015-16 Parents as Teachers
received a $6,500 cut in district funds. As a result of the cut this year, Parents as Teachers has
removed one morning playgroup and gone to a digital newsletter. Parents as Teachers continues
to provide playgroup four mornings each week, one evening and one Saturday each month. An
additional playgroup is offered in Ogden on Tuesday mornings.
32
The number of families and children served by Parents as Teachers has remained relatively
constant in the past few years as indicated in the table below.

To date the FY16 Parents as Teachers program has served 288 families with 353 children.
Twenty-one families are on the waiting list for home visits. Seventy-eight are low-income families,
11 are families where Spanish is the primary language, 51 are English as a Second Language
families, and 20 are single parents. Two hundred sixty-one children have been screened with 14
referrals for additional testing or special education services. Forty-five percent of the families
served meet at least 1 high needs indicator as defined by the Kansas State Board of Education.
Several factors have contributed to the slight decline in numbers. Most significantly, the state has
increased the required assessment and data reporting, which has increased the number of hours
assigned to support staff. Locally, our program has increased group connections in order to meet
the state expectations of a higher percentage of family participation in these events. Future
impacts to the number of families served can be expected as Parents as Teachers increases visit
frequency to better meet the needs of high risk families.
Parents as Teachers is working in partnership with College Hill Preschool to provide home visits
for children enrolled in their preschool program. Parents as Teachers is currently serving 42
families with 58 children through this effort. The College Hill families and children are reflected in
the total numbers served by Parents as Teachers this year, but their services are funded through
College Hill Preschool.
Effective with fiscal year 2010, the Parents as Teachers program is funded through the Kansas
Children’s Initiative Fund (tobacco settlement money) instead of the State Department of
Education. However, the program continues to be managed by the State Department of
Education.
District Goals:
5. The district will provide support of programs through existing and new resources.
7. Lifelong Learning experiences will be offered for prekindergarten through adult
regardless of age, gender, ability, race, religion, or economic status.
14. Partnerships will be maintained and expanded with the broader communities.

Benchmarking:
Similarly sized districts in Kansas have the Parents as Teachers Birth to Three program. Most
programs are smaller than the Manhattan-Ogden USD 383 program because they lack the
additional grants, some of which can be added to local funds, and matched by the Kansas State
Board of Education. In addition, outside grants allow us to serve families with children who are 3
years old to school entry. We work closely with the district’s 4-year-old preschool programs and
Head Start program to encourage qualified families to take advantage of the services they offer.
We also provide families with information and support other preschools in the community.

KSU Professional Development School Partnership
Prepared by:
Carol Adams, Executive Director of Teaching and Learning;
Lew Faust, Director of Business Services;
Clinical Instructors
Background Information:
Since 1990, the College of Education at Kansas State University has been engaged in creating, nurturing,
and sustaining a Professional Development School partnership with Manhattan-Ogden USD 383 and other
Kansas school districts. In 2015, these partnerships celebrated 25 years of this unique collaboration.
On May 16, 2012, Manhattan-Ogden USD 383 and the College of Education at Kansas State University
renewed their long-standing, mutually supportive Professional Development School Partnership.
The educational benefits provided by the Manhattan-Ogden USD 383/College of Education KSU
Partnership include:
 Support and enhancement of student learning
 Support of student learning through the addition of people, resources, ideas and programs
 Continued professional development for teachers and administrators
 Support and enhancement of preparation for pre-service teachers
 Facilitate after school activities, clubs, and science fair projects
 Support for school improvement plans.
As part of the partnership, teachers and administrators participate in the Council for Public School
Improvement (CPSI) professional development opportunities. The University Professional and Continuing
Education Association’s Central Region presented CPSI with the association’s 2015 Central Region Mature
Noncredit Program Award at its fall 2015 meeting. The council, housed in the College of Education, was
selected on criteria that considered the program’s cost effectiveness, longevity, innovation, diversity,
quality, and contribution to adult/continuing education.
Current Considerations:
During the 2015-2016 school year ten schools served as Professional Development Schools for pre-service
College of Education KSU students. These pre-service students provide support and instruction in district
classrooms. Students who serve as teacher aides are still being assigned. Appendix A provides a current
summary of the number of pre-service students served in elementary and secondary schools. Please note
that placements continue to be made at this time.

35
Re-structuring clinical instructor school responsibilities is an ongoing process. For the 2015-2016 school
year a .5 clinical instructor position was eliminated. As a result Theodore Roosevelt and Marlatt
Elementary Schools were not assigned pre-service students. As the district and university continue to work
with reduced budgets, the current clinical instructor model will change for the 2016-2017 school year. The
five elementary clinical instructors will serve all nine elementary schools. One secondary clinical instructor
will serve all four secondary school locations. A proposed schedule for clinical instructors is being
developed.
Board of Education Goals:
5. The district will provide support of programs through existing and new resources.
9. The district and the schools will provide staff with adequate time and resources to engage in productive
professional planning and development.
14. Partnerships will be maintained and expanded with the broader communities.

Board of Education
Superintendent Robert Shannon
Parent Appeal of Swimming Program Participation Decision
Prepared by:
Dr. Robert Shannon, Superintendent;
Mr. Greg Hoyt, Principal, MHS;
Mr. Mike Marsh, Athletic Director, MHS
Background Information:
Mr. and Mrs. Wichmann presented their request to the Manhattan High School administration in
December. At that meeting, Mr. Marsh stated that he would not support their request that their daughter
practice with the Manhattan Marlins swimming team and compete with the Manhattan High School
swimming team. Mr. and Mrs. Wichmann appealed Mr. Marsh’s decision to the Superintendent. The
parents and Dr. Shannon met on December 17. On January 4, the Superintendent denied the request.
On February 3, the parents appealed the Superintendent’s decision to the Board of Education. On
February 17, the Board heard from parents, students, community and administration about the request.
Following the hearing, the Board tabled the request.
Current Considerations:
The MHS administration recognizes and adheres to KSHSAA Rule 26, Article 4 which took effect on July
1, 2011. Recognizing what the rule permits, we also adhere to the essence outlined in the Exception
clause, part (a) (2) which states “the student athlete meets the reasonable and ordinary school
established requirements for participation in the student athlete’s high school swimming program …”
It is our contention that a “reasonable and ordinary” requirement of any school athletic program
for any student athlete is the attendance and participation in team practices. This would be true of
any athletic program at Manhattan High School and therefore is “reasonable and ordinary.” Manhattan
High does not and will not prohibit any student athlete from participating in club activities, but will require
student athletes wishing to be a member of any high school team to practice with the team, under the
direction of the coach, at the scheduled practice times.
The expectations and requirements are not in any way exclusionary, but are inclusionary in nature. In
order to participate as a member of a team, the student athlete should be a member of the team and
practice with the team.
Furthermore, while the MHS Administration recognizes the desire of the complainants to practice with the
club at the same time as the high school team practice is occurring, we believe there may be an issue
with KSHSAA Rule 10: Qualifications of Coaches (Athletic, Spirit, Scholars Bowl and Speech) and Music
Directors. Section 1, Article 1 states “Anyone who is certified in compliance with standards established by
the Kansas State Board of Education is eligible to coach in any activity under the jurisdiction of the
Kansas State High School Activities Association.” Article 2 states “A local board of education/governing
board of a member school must employ all coaches or coaches’ aides by supplemental contracts.
Volunteers shall not coach, with an exception provided for individuals who are certified staff employed
by the member school’s district. All compensation to coaches and sponsors/directors, shall be provided
by the employing school/district.
Board of Education Policy:
MHS Handbook Policy
MHS is a member of the Centennial League and the Kansas State High School Activities
Association. The league is composed of Emporia, Junction City, Manhattan, Shawnee Heights,
Topeka Hayden, Topeka High, Topeka Highland Park, Topeka Seaman, Topeka West, and Topeka
Washburn Rural High Schools. Participating students involved in athletics/activities are subject to
rules of Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) and participants must follow the
rules and procedures of the sport or activity.
38
JGFB Supervision of Students Policy
Students shall be supervised by school personnel when they are under the jurisdiction of the school.
Each building principal shall coordinate and assign teachers, aides or paraprofessionals to supervise
students engaged in school sponsored activities. All school-sponsored activities shall be supervised
by an adult approved by the administration. Each building principal shall make a school day duty roster
of teachers, aides, paraprofessionals and administrators for supervising students at specific times and
in designated areas.
Recommendation:
It is the recommendation of the Superintendent and MHS Administration that the request presented by
Mr. and Mrs. Wichmann for their daughter to practice with the Manhattan Marlins rather than Manhattan
High School and to compete for Manhattan High School, be denied.
Possible Motion:
“I move to deny the request of Mr. and Mrs. Wichmann to allow their daughter to practice with the
Manhattan Marlins rather than Manhattan High School and then to compete for Manhattan High School.”

Calendar Adoption for 2016-17
Prepared by:
Eric Reid, Assistant Superintendent
Background Information:
The Calendar Committee began its effort to develop the 2016-17 calendar on February 18, 2016.
The committee began with the proposed calendar option worked by the SSRC during their committee
work which adapted based on the 2015-16 calendar. The committee reviewed calendar requirements
in the negotiated agreement, state requirements, and district scheduling past practice.
Current Considerations:
The attached calendar incorporates the requirements of the current negotiated agreement including
changes made during the SSRC process and is based on the current 2015-16 calendar. One major
difference is the elimination of early release days at the elementary level, and an extended fall break
for students over Thanksgiving week. This concept was surveyed during the SSRC process and
polled very favorably by parents and school personnel. Student attendance days are more aligned
between elementary, middle, and high school levels than previous calendar options.
The Calendar Committee also explored the possibility of a non-attendance day for Veteran’s Day.
Discussion that took place dealt with the contribution that our students play in celebrating Veteran’s
Day through the parade and programs in downtown Manhattan on that day. A half day of attendance
was discussed as well, but would be logistically impossible for transportation options. The committee
was also concerned with weeks in October and February that are broken up due to parent/teacher
conferences and the holidays of Columbus Day and President’s Day. While this option does break up
those weeks, overall there are more five day attendance weeks under this calendar option. The
consensus was to see how this format goes and possibly solicit feedback next year concerning these
two options. The winter break was also challenging to break up with two national holidays occurring
on the weekends. Multiple options were discussed, but the consensus was the proposed
configuration.
Four calendars are presented to assist in clarifying the schedules of each level, elementary school,
middle school, and high school. A composite calendar then follows which includes the schedule for
all three levels and a summary of calendar dates for 2016-17. All teachers will have a float work day
prior to the date they are to report for the first day of their contract.
High School Calendar
August 10-12 is scheduled for high school professional development/collaboration and district
convocation/building meetings. August 15 is a preparation day, and the first half day with students
will be August 16 with a half work day following.
High School conferences are scheduled to be held on September 21 and 22 with a comp day on
September 23. February conference days are February 8 and 9 with a comp day on February 10.
October 14 and March 17 are grade preparation days. October 17, January 4, April 5, and May 5 are
scheduled for professional development/collaboration. December 21 is designated as the float work
day for preparing quarter and semester grades. November 21 and February 13 are professional
development day, and November 22 and February 17 are collaboration days. Spring break is March
20-24 which is later than last year, but it does align with Kansas State University. May 20 and 26 are
potential weather makeup days and the last day of school is May 25.
40
Middle School Calendar
August 10-12 is scheduled for middle school professional development/collaboration and district
convocation/building meetings. August 15 is a preparation day, and the first half day with students will
be August 16 with a half work day following.

convocation/building meetings. August 15 is a preparation day, and the first half day with students will
be August 16 with a half work day following.
Elementary teachers will have October 14 and February 10, to prepare grades, followed by
conferences on October 21 and 22 and February 10 and 11. Elementary students will not be in class
October 19 and 20 and February 15 and 16 for conference and comp days. Elementary teachers will
have professional development/collaboration days on October 17, January 4, April 14, and May 5.
Spring break is March 20-24. Professional development days are scheduled for November 21and
February 13. Collaboration days are scheduled for September 23, November 22, and March 17 with
November 22 being defined as a flex collaboration day in the negotiated agreement. May 20 and 26

Bishop Stadium Handrail Replacement Project
Prepared by:
Matt Davis, Director of Maintenance and Facilities
Background Information:
The railing surrounding the home side bleachers at Bishop Stadium is the original railing installed
when the facility was constructed in 1966. The railing has been repaired and reinforced through the
years and is overdue for replacement. The current railing does not meet current code requirements
and has become a safety concern due to the stresses imposed on the railing during large spectator
events. A proposal for architectural design, bid service, and construction services, was requested
from Ebert Mayo Design Group in April 2014. The project was advertised for bid in April 2015, and
the bids that were received at that time were significantly higher than the funding that had been
allocated for project, so it was decided to postpone the project until summer 2016.
Current Considerations:
Construction bidding services was outlined as a part of the scope of services provided by Ebert
Mayo Design Group in their proposal. A request for bid was advertised by Ebert Mayo Design Group
and a pre-bid meeting was held at Bishop Stadium on February 15, 2016. Bid responses were
received from six contractors, and were opened on February 24, 2016. The base bid for the project
consists of railing replacements for the north, east, south, and west sides of the stadium adjacent the
spectator areas, as well as replacement of the existing bleacher seating and cast in-place concrete
stair treads. Alternate #1 is to install traffic coating on the precast concrete bleacher structure and
stair treads. Alternate #2 is to install new galvanized steel accessible seating. On-site construction
will begin on May 25, 2016, with substantial completion to be no later than August 15, 2016. With
the bids coming in much lower than the Architect’s Estimate, it is recommended that the base bid
and both alternates are accepted.
District Goal:
11. The district and the schools will provide a safe and orderly environment.

Board of Education

Desktop and Laptop Purchases
Prepared by:
Mike Ribble, Director of Technology
Lew Faust, Director of Business Services
Tamara Dorst, Purchasing Accountant
Background Information—Desktop Computers
The District Technology Plan recommends that desktop computers be rotated out of service every five
years. The rotation timeline is necessary to provide students and staff with computer equipment that can
reliably operate the district software. With potential operating system and program updates, there has
been a need to increase the functionality of the hardware systems to accommodate these and future
software packages.
The PC systems specifications have been identified for new systems. This year there were some
significant changes in specifications from last year’s purchase. System specifications were minor from
last year. The number of years on extended warranty were cut from four years to three years and the
removal of the optical drive.
A request for bid was posted on the website and State contract vendors were notified for pricing of 150
mini tower desktop computers. All bids must be good for 90 days. Bids were received from eight
vendors. We are once again asking that outdated systems be recycled in an approved manner through a
state approved technology recycling organization.
Current Considerations—Desktop Computers (Bid Number-1516-C-5)
In the district, we have desktop systems that are exceeding six years in use. After upgrading the district
to our last operating system, it has become apparent that systems will be needed that are capable of
running this, and future, operating systems and its programs. Current systems do not have the memory
and processors that can adequately function with these new operating systems.
With this recommendation, there are a total of 150 desktops being requested to replace systems in
computer labs across the district at a cost of $568/each x 150 = $85,200

Background Information—Laptop Computers
The District Technology Plan identifies the providing of laptops to all teaching staff as well as providing
carts for student use. The laptops along with the upgraded wireless are providing more opportunities for
teachers and students to use technology in the classroom each day.
The laptop systems specifications have been identified for new systems. This year there were some drop
within our specifications. In this bid optical drives and the extended cell battery were removed. Screen
sizes were dropped to a size between 13-15”. We also cut back the Computrace and Extended
Warranty from four years to three years.
The PC staff has identified laptops in computer carts and with teachers that will not effectively run the
latest operating system with the programs needed for classroom use. The carts, as well as the teacher
laptops, are often being used on a daily basis and are in need of being updated. In similar fashion, we
updated teacher laptops last year for Frank Bergman, Northview and Ogden elementary.
A request for bid was posted on the website and State contract vendors were notified for pricing of 429
laptop computers. All bids must be good for 90 days. Bids were received from five vendors. We are
once again asking that outdated systems be recycled in an approved manner through a state approved
technology recycling organization
Current Considerations—Laptop Computers (Bid Number-1516-C-6)
With older laptops, the support and maintenance becomes more difficult each year. As these systems
age it becomes more difficult to find parts and updates for these systems. Often other systems must be
taken apart to keep other computers operating. As education is moving toward a future where
understanding the use of technology will be a requirement, not an option, there is a need to provide these
tools to our students and staff.
The plan for these units is to replace laptops for Marlatt, Theodore Roosevelt, and Lee Elementary staff.
In addition, older laptops in carts will be exchanged.
The recommended laptops would be imaged with district software and ready to be installed in the schools
and provided to staff. The total number of laptops for the IT Department is 360, 32 for CTE, 30 for MHSWest (At-Risk) and 10 for Special Education; these units will be replacing teacher systems as well as
those in carts. The total cost is $596/each x 432 = $257,472

School Board Member Ethics
(Board Policy BH)
As a member of my local Board, I will strive to improve public education, and to
that end I will:
Attend all regularly scheduled Board meetings insofar as possible and
become informed concerning the issues to be considered at those meetings;
Recognize that I should endeavor to make policy decisions only after
full discussion at publicly held Board meetings;
Render all decisions based on the available facts and my independent
judgment, and refuse to surrender that judgment to individuals or special interest groups;
Encourage the free expression of opinion by all Board members, and
seek systematic communications between the Board and students, district staff,
and all elements of the community;
W ork with other Board members to establish effective Board policies
and to delegate authority for the administration of the schools to the Superintendent;
Communicate to other Board members and the Superintendent expressions of public reaction to Board policies and school programs;
Support the employment of those persons best qualified to serve as
district staff;
Avoid being placed in a position of conflict of interest and refrain from
using my Board position for personal or partisan gain;
Respect the confidentiality of information that is privileged under applicable law; and
Remember that the first and greatest concern must be the educational
welfare of the students attending the public schools.
