CCSD Board Of Education Will Hear Recommendation For New Conference Invite, Review Policies And More During Monday Night’s Meeting

The Carroll Community School District (CCSD) Board of Education meets Monday morning with routine agreements, purchase requests for science kits and a recommendation for the Hawkeye Ten Conference invite all on the agenda. The biggest discussion held over the last week or so was the invite to the Hawkeye Ten Conference, with the district holding a community meeting last Wednesday with stakeholders, giving more input and answering questions. Superintendent Dr. Casey Berlau believes that the meeting was very productive in guiding the district’s decision.

The board will appoint student board members, which is in its second year of implementation, followed by administrative reports. The members will then review request for out of state field trips, annual review of policies before reviewing donations of $412 from the First United Methodist Church Women for the Tiger Cupboard and for labor from Carroll Controls Systems, Inc.

Annual agreements with the City of Carroll, Kuemper, Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) and Iowa Lakes will be reviewed and renewed. Action items at the meeting will be to consider purchasing third grade science kits, furniture for transportation facility and the Hawkeye Ten Conference invite. Berlau says the board will discuss further the potential plans for the soccer field parking lot and a policy for facility use.

The meeting will end with a policy discussion on the use of social media, additional state funding for support personnel and the business office reports. The meeting is open to the public and all are welcome to attend at 6:30 p.m. at Adams Elementary School.
