11.    Driver Education Program; Driver Education Fees; Class credit; Contract for Driver Ed Services - For some time DE has counted as .5 credit on high school students transcripts along with the grade that the student receives.  Years ago Dr. Ed was taught during the school day and then that made sense. Since then the format of the DE program has changed drastically with outside companies teaching DE and students now having to pay for it.  It no longer is logical to have this on their transcript. Mrs. McKenzie is proposing this ceases starting with the class of 2020 (this years’ juniors - to be seniors). The Building Assistance Team is in agreement with this proposal.

Consider increasing the Driver’s Education Fee to $375; The board will consider entering into a contract with Deluxe Driving Academy.

13.  MICA program - (Mid-Iowa Community Action) grant money to work with schools.  Tammie McKenzie and Larry Lesle are recommending this program for CMS and CHS students. An instructor would offer lessons in Self-Esteem, Learning Strategies & Time Management and Networking, Jobs, & Money Lessons. At CHS we are looking at ROAR and Advisory time.
