REVIEW OF BOARD REPORTS Curriculum Report A Special Education Contract with the CAIU for the 2013-2014 school year will be brought forward at the May 16, 2013 Legislative Meeting.

Personnel Report Approval of football and volleyball coaches and their salaries will be brought forward at the May 16, 2013 Legislative Meeting along with the furlough of professional teaching staff. A discussion was held regarding the salary step movement of football coaches. Mrs. Grubb said that she has a problem with the football coaches getting a raise when professional teaching staff are being furloughed and the changes in the kindergarten programs. Ms. Carricato said that she thought that coaches salaries were being frozen and that she doesnt agree with the step movement when administrators and secretaries arent getting a raise. Ms. Slade said that she thinks the coaches should receive the raise because of the

May 6, 2013 Page 4 low amount that coaches already get paid and the budget is balanced with the raises. Mr. Baumgardner also agreed with the raises because he feels that our sports programs would not be as successful as they are if the coaches leave due to money.
