For its regular monthly meet-
ing, the USD 300 Board of Edu-
cation will gather at 7 p.m. next
Monday, June 6 in the South
Central High School conference
room.
Much of the meeting agenda
is made up of routine matters
such as approval of minutes,
paying of bills, and hearing re-
ports from staff, administrators,
and committee representatives.
Under the heading of new
business, the board will consider
the supplemental contract resig-
nation of South Central High
School Cross Country Coach
Brian Harris. They will also ap-
prove three South Central El-
ementary/Middle School classi-
fied staff contracts, filling two
custodial positions and the
health/library aide position. In
addition, a number of supple-
mental contracts will be ap-
proved.
Those will include all the
supplemental contracts to be re-
newed from this year, but will still
leave some "holes" in the
supplemental list of contracts
offered by the district.
They will also set the time and
date for an end-of-the-year meet-
ing toward the end of June, as
the board's new fiscal year will
begin July 1.
Prior to adjourning, the board
will probably meet in executive
session to discuss personnel
and contract negotiations mat-
ters.
