A member of the Board may request any item to be removed from the consent resolution and defer it for a specific action and more discussion. No vote of the Board will be required to remove an item from the consent agenda. A single member's request shall cause it to be relocated as an action item eligible for discussion. Any item on the consent agenda may be removed and discussed as a nonaction item or be deferred for further study and discussion at a subsequent Board meeting if the Superintendent or any Board member thinks the item requires further discussion. (ByLaw 0166.1)
It is recommended that the following Consent Agenda Items be approved:
Approval of the Agenda
Board Policy 2430 is the language the corporation uses to determine eligibility for corporation sponsored clubs and activities. The update deletes the sentence, "First quarter participation will be determined by meeting the 8th grade qualification criteria." Added language regarding provision for academic watch. All other language is unchanged.
It is recommended that the Board approve the recognition that Mr. Plumer, Mrs. Rodibaugh, Mrs. Humrichous and Dr. Schultz comprise a quorum of the CMC Evaluation Committee and, as a quorum of the CMC Evaluation Committee, they are submitting the recommendation of the CMC Evaluation Committee that the Board approve W.R. Dunkin & Son, Inc. to serve as the Construction Manager as Constructor for the Greenhouse Project.
Tipton Community School Corporation is seeking to hire Construction Manager as Constructor as allowed under Indiana Code 5-32, as amended, for a project. As part of this process TCSC initiated a Request for Proposals for Construction Manager as Constructor Services for Construction and Equipping of the TCSC Greenhouse. The RFP was advertised twice through public notice on June 9 & 16 with proposals due June 30, 2021. Pursuant to the provisions of Indiana Code 5-32-3, a meeting of the evaluation committee was held on July 1 in order to make a recommendation for Construction Manager as Constructor to the full board. The evaluation committee is recommending W.R. Dunkin & Son, Inc. for the TCSC greenhouse Construction Manager as Constructor.
The TCSC expects to pay certain costs of the 2021 Greenhouse Project prior to the issuance of bonds that will cover the costs of the project. Once bonds are issued, the corporation can be reimbursed for any expenditures previously incurred. This resolution authorizes that to happen.
The United State Department of Education requires all school corporations that accept ESSER III (American Rescue Plan) funds to adopt a Return to School plan. Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb’s Executive Order 21-15 (5/28/21) makes the governing body of all K-12 schools responsible for implementing “whatever measures and restrictions [are] deemed necessary and prudent to address the
impact and spread of COVID-19." The TCSC Return to School 2021-22 plan addresses those mandates. It is recommended the board of trustees approve the plan as written.
