Consideration to approve administrative guidelines and board policies on the second reading.
In June of 2021, NEOLA pushed out a series of updates to administrative guidelines and board policy due to new legislation enacted by the Indiana General Assemble in the 2021 session. An overview of the policy changes are included in your packet. It is recommended the board trustees approve all policy updates on the second reading.

Consideration to advertise the 2022 Budget, CPF Plan, and Bus Replacement Plan
The 2022 Budget, CPF Plan, and Bus Replacement Plan were shared with the Board during the work session held prior to this meeting. This request would allow us to advertise these items. A Public Hearing is scheduled for September 28, 2021. The Board would then consider approval of the Budget at the October 12th School Board meeting.
It is recommended to grant permission to advertise 2022 Budget, CPF Plan and Bus Replacement Plan.
6.2
Consideration to create a Preschool and Before/After School Care Fund
In the 2021-2022 school year, we doubled the number students in our full day preschool program. Since we have completed our Paths to Quality certification TCSC some of students are eligible for On My Way Pre-K funding and well as other federal funding sources. In combination with On My Way Pre-K, federal funds, and student tuition our preschool program is totally self funded. Since the Preschool and Before/After Care is self funded we need to create a new fund. It is recommended the board of trustees approve the attached resolution creating a Preschool and Before/After Care Fund.
