Lunch prices increased, Teacher of the Quarter honored at May 24th school board meeting by Bobbie Overshon Lunch prices increased, Teacher of the Quarter recognized, pest control con- tract awarded, and many more items dis- cussed, including personnel, during the regular monthly meeting of the Dixon R-1 School Board on May 24th. The first item on the agenda was the monthly Missouri State Board Associa- tion Report. There have been 47 tax credit projects which have taken $600M per year from school funding. This is a significant impact on the funding of es- sential services within the state, such as education. There are also approximately 60% of districts that have students tak- ing online courses. Sign for High School Dixon High School student council officers for 2012-2013 spoke to the Dixon School Board concerning new electronic signs for the high school. The total cost of the signs will be $25K. The Maries County Bank has contributed $2K toward the cost of these signs and the student council currently has $6K to- ward the purchase of the signs. The goal is to obtain the signs by the beginning of the next school year. Gascosage Electric Cooperative has agreed to supply the labor to install the signs, but the district will have to pay for any supplies. This is a part of the council’s project to im- prove the campus grounds at DHS. The board will take this into consideration and give a decision as to the amount they can contribute to the signs. The Student Council members were in- structed to call Cindy Zepp and get on the agenda for the next meeting of the Board on June 28th. FCCLA Report Dixon FCCLA representatives Jerica Durham and Bri Pohar presented a tote bag made of recycled plastics to each board member. Ms. Trish McCray, club sponsor, reported that FCCLA used stencils and painted the Arrive Alive and Buckle Up logos on drives at DES and DMS. The board asked Ms. McCray how many members are in FCCLA and was told that there are currently 72 members. Since the recycling grant was received, over three tons of recycled ma- terials have been collected. The next goal is to add batteries and tin cans to the list of items that are recycled. The FCCLA also has a compost project that is working really well. The compost is used in the FCCLA’s garden at DHS. At the recent Legislative Days, Nick Pay- ton spent the day with Representative David Day. During the week of Dr. Seuss’ birth- day, the FCCLA began collecting books; expecting to collect perhaps 100. There was a total of 600 books collected. Ap- propriate books were first distributed to each school library and the remainder was donated to the Dixon Public Library. This group has also made pillows for the Genesis House in Waynesville. The Gen- esis House is a shelter for battered women and their children. Often these children and their mother arrive in the middle of the night with nothing but the clothes on their backs. These little pil- lows are given to the children so that they will have something they can call their own. Ms. McCray then presented a slide show to indicate all the many activities that the FCCLA has been involved in this year, to include blood drives, reading to Head Start and Elementary students, etc. Ms. McCray was then presented a certifi- cate by board president Craig Rivera for working for and receiving a grant from the Fort Leonard Wood Thrift Shop. Science Fair DHS science teacher Misty Alexander, DMS science instructor Dave Sirett, and DHS student Jerica Durham were present to show the Science Fair project that Jer- ica had presented at the recent Science Fair for which she received an Honorable Mention. Mr. Sirett reported that 95% of the work on this project had been out of school on Jerica’s own time. Jerica is al- ready planning her next year’s project. Teacher of the Quarter Joanna Boulware, of Sellers-Sexton, presented a plaque and check to Ursula Bell, a teacher at DES, for being selected as Teacher of the Quarter. Football Discussed Members of the Dixon Football League discussed the possibility of start- ing a football program at the Dixon schools with the Board. Superintendent Dawna Burrow stated that Dixon is a member of the Frisco League and none of the Frisco League schools have foot- ball teams. It would require contacting schools outside the Frisco League to find out if other schools would be interested in playing Dixon teams. Burrow stated that she will check on MSHSAA rules that govern this area; i.e., how far teams would be permitted to travel, etc. The next step will be to have Dixon Athletic Directors contact Rolla to find out if there would be any interest. It is a very expensive undertaking to establish a football team. Funds would have to be raised for uniforms and other equipment and the district is working with limited funds. Consent Agenda and Bills The minutes of the April 17th meeting were unanimously approved by the board. Financial and Attendance reports for the month were also reviewed and ap- proved by the board. Next, a listing of bills for payment for the month of April was approved in the amount of $148K. Prior to approval, however, a reward trip to The Zone in Rolla for the DMS students was dis- cussed. The funding for this trip was made possible by funds from the Bull- dog checking account. The Maries County Bank has the Bulldog Checking Account and funds from this account are used for extracurricular activities. These funds also paid for a field trip for DES students. Everyone is thankful to the board for reinstating DES field trips this year. Bulldog Logo Clothing Sales At last month’s board meeting, a com- pany had requested authority to sell clothing with the Dixon Bulldog logo in Wal-Mart stores. The matter was tabled until this month. After discussion, it was decided that the clothing could be sold at Wal-Mart. The Dixon R-1 School Dis- trict will receive some of the proceeds from these sales. Last month, there was concern about taking funds away from the Booster Club that also sells Dixon Bulldog clothing. The boosters are 100% for this new way of selling Dixon Bull- dog clothing. It will not hurt their sales. The decision was to approve the sale of Dixon Bulldog clothing at Wal-Mart and a decision will be made at a later date as to where the proceeds to the district will be used. Benefit Plan Also on the agenda was revisions to Section 125, Flexible Benefit Plan (pre- tax benefits). This concerns pre-tax dol- lars deducted from faculty/staff salaries. American Fidelity manages the district’s 125 Plan to ensure that they stay within State and Federal laws for these pre-tax deductions. This service is performed by American Fidelity at no cost to the dis- trict. Another Policy and Regulation 2170 was moved to closed session for discussion. FFA Classes The possibility of FFA (Future Farm- ers of America) classes at DHS was dis- cussed. Only one student in the past three years has expressed an interest in such classes. Jason Shelton reported that there are donors willing to pay for the new building which would be required for these classes. Discussion followed concerning the Vocational Agriculture classes given at WCC (Waynesville Ca- reer Center) and how that would impact FFA classes at DHS. This will be dis- cussed further at a future meeting pend- ing a survey of interest among students. The next item on the agenda was City Code and parking barriers at the high school. Supt. Burrow reported that she and other school board members will be attending the June 4th City Council meeting to discuss this topic; therefore, this item was also tabled until the next board meeting. Pest Control Bids Pest Control bids had been received from Terminex, Sho-Me Pest Control, Orkin, Ozark Pest Solutions and Ad- vance Pest Control. After brief discus- sion and review of the bids, the board voted to accept the bid from Terminex. Changes to Policy and Regulation 3430 were discussed. This concerns sig- nature stamps. All tax signature stamps must be registered with the Secretary of State’s Office. This change was ap- proved by the board. Lunch Prices for 2012-2013 A Federal mandate was received that requires lunch prices to be the same as the amount the Government pays for lunches provided to students on the free lunch program. Schools are authorized to raise prices in increments until the mandate is reached. Therefore, lunch prices for the 2012-2013 school year will be raised by 10 cents: From $1.60 to $1.70 at the Elementary School; from $1.70 to $1.80 at Dixon Middle School; and from $1.80 to $1.90 at Dixon High School. This 10-cent increase was unan- imously approved by the board. Summer School Summer School in the R-1 District was to begin on May 29th. Mr. Mark Parker, new DMS Principal, will be tak- ing over the administration of summer school from Ms. Melissa Wright.
