This policy is the updated version suggested by Tracy Copenhaver s office, WSBA Attorney. It contains additional detail on criminal background checks. Other than that it is the same as what we currently have in place. The two changes suggested have been made to the policy attached. Approve the proposed policy GCBE Personnel Records and Files on its third and final reading.

6 Meeting February 25, 2014 Item Number: B Contract Chairperson Bob Ramsey, information by Doris Woodbury We have a 406 contract with Sweetwater CSD #1 for Evaluation of a student at Roosevelt Learning Center. Approve the 406 contract with Sweetwater CSD #1 for the amount of $22,

8 Region V BOCES Executive Board Meeting February 25, 2014 Item Number: B.5 Credit Line with the Bank of Jackson Hole Chairperson/Information by Doris Woodbury Annually, we are able to renew a credit line for $400, with the Bank of Jackson Hole. It costs us about $1, to keep this credit line open. With what we have in reserves we do not currently need to have this credit line. The downside to allowing this credit line to lapse is the remote possibility that they would deny a line of credit to us sometime in the future. Approve payment for the $400, line of credit with the Bank of Jackson Hole.

12 Region V BOCES Board Meeting February 25, 2014 Item Number: C.2 Planning for Approval of Funding Formula Chairperson/Doris Woodbury Doris is scheduling appointments to meet with each member district Board of Trustees to seek approval of the new funding formula. March is quite a busy month for meetings with Fremont 14, Fremont 21, Teton CSD and Sublette 9. April is set for Uinta 6 and Uinta 1. Uinta 4, Sweetwater 1 and Sweetwater 2 are set for May. Many of the Boards meet on the same dates so it takes this long to present at all the meetings. NONE.

13 Region V BOCES Board Meeting February 25, 2014 Item Number: C.3 Schedule for paying of Bills at Region V BOCES Chairperson/Colleen Meiners We wanted the Board to be informed that Region V BOCES pays bills twice a month while most school districts pay bills only monthly. NONE.

14 Region V BOCES Board Meeting February 25, 2014 Item Number: C.4 Paperless Board Meetings Chairperson/Doris Woodbury Jennifer Hayward put into words something I have been thinking about. She shared that she would be interested in discussing the possibility of us going to Board Docs for our Board Packets/meetings. I calculated the costs to mail our Board packets and it is nearly the same as the cost to become a Board Docs member. With the WSBA discount it is $2,400 a year, while providing paper packets is somewhat more. It would require that all of us have an internet connection and a laptop type of device. If needed, Region V could look at providing a laptop or tablet. Or we could mail a hard copy with most of us being on Board Docs. It takes a little training but several of you are already using this product. NONE.
