BOARD MINUTES of January 27,1997
On a poll vote the ayes were: Mrs. Blake, Mrs. McDowell, Mr. Penna, Mrs.
Robertson, Mr. Shimek, Mr. Starr, Mrs. Niebauer, and Mrs. Gathers. Motion passed
unanimously.
Mr. Starr inquired about the report of Building Construction in Millcreek Township
for 1996. Mr. Starr believes with increases in construction more tax dollars will
come to the school district. Mr. Mudger responded this is true if all properties are
taxable and all are completed, which they are not. The Millcreek Township School
District would receive only the portion the properties are assesesed at this time
through the end of December 1996. Many are under construction. Mr. Starr
inquired if we have a figure of the change in assessed value that occurred in 1996
and if so requested the Board be furnished with the information. Mr. Mudger will
provide this information.

OLD BUSINESS
ENROLLMENT
Mrs. Shimek spoke regarding Tracy enrollment. He commented that everyone is
always talking about Tracy enrollment being upward of 400 students and he cannot see
their enrollment ever being so high. He questioned if we build a four round school
where will we get the students to fill it. His question remains, "Do we really need a
four round school?"
Millcreek School District
BOARD MINUTES of January 27,1997
Dr. Lindquist responded that Tracy enrollment has been discussed numerous times. It
is important we look at several elementary schools closest to Tracy (Vernondale,
Ridgefield, and Asbury). There are overcrowded conditions in some buildings and
those student will be coming to the new Tracy school through redistricting.
Dr. Lindquist will provide detailed attendance figures to Board members wishing this
information.
NEW BUSINESS
GRADUATION REOUIREMENTS
Mrs. Gathers commented it was brought to her attention the Millcreek Township
School District graduation requirements fall short of other districts. She requested this
be placed on the next Instructional Committee agenda for discussion.
MILLCREEK SCHOOL FOUNDATION
Mr. Shimek inquired if a Board member is on the board of the Millcreek School
Foundation. Additionally, he questioned interest shown on the 1995/96 report.
Mrs. Niebauer responded that one Millcreek School Board member is on the
committee.
Mr. Mudger responded regarding interest. Wherever the contributions come from the
interest goes back to that particular account. Money coming in is lumped together in
certificate of deposits, bonds, etc., wherever we can get the best return. The interest is
then returned to each account and that is where scholarship money comes from. Eight
or nine scholarships are given to graduating seniors yearly and the money for the
scholarships come from interest gained on accounts. Additionally, money in the
foundation can be used for other things. The originator of the account has the right to
determine its use.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Mrs. McDowell and seconded by Mrs. Blake for adjournment.
By voice vote the Board voted unanimously to adjourn the meeting. The meeting
adjourned at 9:35 p.m.
