Ms. Milliken reported the One- act Play will be performing for the community on January 24, 2011, at 6:30 P.M., in the Stanley County High School Gym. Wednesday, January 26, 2011, will be the Region Competition at Riggs Theatre in Pierre. Duffy moved, seconded by Nutter, to adopt the following resolution: RESOLUTION #3-2011 BE IT RESOLVED, The School Board of the Stanley County School District #57-1, in accordance with SDCL 13-7-10, hereby approves the next school board election date as June 21, 2011. Voter registration, absentee voting, and procedures used in counting ballots shall be in accordance with Title 12 except as specifically provided in SDCL 13-7. The Stanley County School Board in accordance with SDCL 13-7-11, hereby approves the following voting precincts and polling places for the 2011 school board election:
Precinct #1 Orton School All voted aye. Dr. Hotalling presented a school calendar for 2011-2012 school year. The calendar is to accommodate the standard schedule and offers opportunity for professional teacher in-service training within the 161- day contract previously held by the teachers. Dr. Hotalling asked the Board to review the calendar and make recommendations to the Administrative teams it approved at the February Board Meeting. Titze asked the Administrative Team to calculate the cost to add more Enrichment Fridays.
Dr. Hotalling presented a proposal to consider moving from a block schedule to a standard schedule. The standard schedule increases instructional time with highly-qualified teachers by nearly 30% over the block schedule, and allows students to meet with highly qualified teachers for each class every day rather then every other day. The standard schedule provides strong learning structure whereby students are able to learn and digest smaller chunks of the information on a daily basis. Dr. Hotalling asked if a decision on the standard verses block schedule, could be made at the February Board meeting.
Duffy moved, seconded by Titze to approve open enrollment 957, 958, 959, and 960. All voted aye.
Titze moved, seconded by Nutter to approve Public school exemption 11-01. All voted aye.
Mr. Jensen reported the boys basketball team is playing in the Jones County Invitational Tournament this week. The girls basketball team is in Gettysburg, and the wrestling team is in Mobridge and having a tournament in Philip this weekend. The gymnastic team is doing very well this year, winning the Stanley County Central meet, the Winter Wonderland in Vermillion, and the Stanley County Invitational. The gymnastic team has also had three individuals qualify for the State Gymnastic meet already. The volleyball and basketball officials are almost all contracted for the 2011-2012 school year.
If the Stanley County football team changes to 9-man next year,
it has been invited to the Yellow Stone Trail Conference.
Mr. Jensen presented a report that shows the student
participation in each sport and each grade level for the
2007-2008 school year to the 2010-2011 school year. He thanked
Shae Carter and Brian Menning for putting the excel spreadsheet
together. John Duffy asked Mr. Jensen how it was going on scheduling activities the latter part on the week and not on Monday and Tuesday night for the next year. Mr. Jensen responded that most all sport events are on a two year contract and 2011-2012 is the last year; so when he is making the schedules for the 2012-2013 school year, he is working on getting those moved.
Mr. Hartwig reported they are working on their second revision
on the School Wide Title I application. Mr. Hartwig and his
staff have been reviewing different Math and Science
curriculum. The elementary student count is up 10 students from
last year. Mr. Hartwig reported their will be a professional
development day on January 28, 2011. A representative from the
reading series will be putting on the training to the elementary
staff. On December 17, 2010, Enrichment Friday there were about 33 students from the K-5 who attended. The Board asked Mr. Hartwig to promote Enrichment Fridays, and let the parents and students know it is for all students.
Mr. Hollar reported Ms. Simons and Mrs. Cronin have worked with
the staff and students in the Middle School/ High School and
have created a Teacher/Student mentor program. This new program
has decreased the number of failing students. Mr. Hollar thanked
his staff for taking on this responsibility and helping the
students. Mr. Hollar has sent out grant applications to his staff, and encouraged the staff to look into the grants.
Mrs. Fromm reminded Mr. Hollar and his staff that before
applying for any grants they must be approved by the Business
Manager and the School Board. Mr. Hollar, Mr. Hartwig, Mr. Stotts, and Mrs. Overweg have been working on the student handbooks. Changes will be presented to the Board in February with Board adoption in March.
Mr. Hollar expressed the change from block to standard
scheduling and the change in the school calendar are very
important. As soon the Board approves the calendar and the
schedule, he can start working on the schedules for the
2011-2012 school year. Ms. Simons and Mr. Rogers have been working together on trophy cases for the High School and Parkview Gym.
Mrs. Doherty and Mrs. Harms have been reviewing the math
curriculum, while Mrs. Cronin, Mrs. Scott, and Mrs. Crawford
have been reviewing the science curriculum. The Board asked Mr. Hollar to make sure all the Student Council shirts are recalled and turned in. Mr. Hollar reported the students have been told to turn them in, and the misspelling on them was done by the printing company. The company will be reprinting new ones at no charge.
Superintendent Don Hotalling thanked the Board for all they do. Dr. Hotalling presented cards and posters made for the Board, by the students thanking them for their service. Dr. Hotalling gave each of the Board members the Governors executive proclamation for the School Board recognition week.
Stanley County School District now has a Facebook page. Dr.
Hotalling has been posting items on the Facebook page.
The City of Fort Pierre will help with snow removal. Dr.
Hotalling thanked the City of Fort Pierre once again for all the
help and services they provide to Stanley County School
District. Dr. Hotalling presented a list of the contacts made with the Capital Journal. The Board stressed to keep sending stories about the school and to keep detailed logs showing what has been sent.

President Sonny Harrowa declared the Board out of Executive Session at 8:30 P.M.
Duffy moved, seconded by Titze, to adjourn at 8:30 P.M. All voted aye.
