salary and benefits, which Lar-son says make up 60 percent or more of the budget. The school district will pick up the 17 per-cent rate increase for health insurance.

The district will levy the same number of mills as it did for 2018-19: 70 general fund mills, seven building fund mills and three mills for special reserve. The district has set 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18 for the required public hearing on the mills. Larson said the district will draw revenue from a six percent increase in the school’s taxable valuation.

Ancillary expenses ap-proved by the board included the base salary of principal Frank Justin and a one-time payment to Larson when she completes her business manag-er certification.

Larson said the board will add the creation of a finance committee to its September agenda. The new committee will address long-range plan-ning.

The district expects an opening-day enrollment of 186 students K through 12, down two from last year, Larson

said.The board discussed drain-

age issues with Randy Vigen Field that could affect junior varsity and junior high football dates. After months of discus-sion, the district has resolved the matter of making upgrades to the crow’s nest at Randy Vigen Field.

The board had moved earli-er this summer to spend up to $25,000. However, structural engineers determined that two additional concrete pillars would be needed, bringing the cost estimate to $32,000. The board rescinded its earlier motion in July.

Knudsvig has volunteered working hours to install a new landing, door and windows. The district will cover the cost of materials. Larson said that total cost has yet to be deter-mined.

Randy Vigen Field hosts one varsity football game each fall for the Hillsboro-Central Valley Burros. This year’s game against Devils Lake is set for the evening of Oct. 4.

The district is still looking for a C-squad volleyball coach.

discussion with Dakota Nat-ural Gas, which is seeking a minimum use agreement. The board took no action, request-ing more information on area businesses that may sign up for service plus tax breaks.

Officials from RJ Broad-casting and Halstad Telephone submitted a proposal for exclu-sive online video broadcasts of Hillsboro-Central Valley sport-ing events, home and away, to be carried on the YouTube channel. The proposal includes the possibility of broadcasting band and choir concerts as well. The board moved unani-mously for the go-ahead.

The board moved to spend $15,000 toward five eSports slots, joining club-forming schools at Grand Forks, Rugby

and Central Cass, to name a few. The computerized gaming has three-to-five students on a team and a participation fee charged per student. It’s not recognized as yet by the North Dakota High School Activities Association.

The most common video game genres associated with eSports are multi-player online battle arena (MOBA), first-per-son shooter (FPS), fighting, digital collectible card games, and battle royales.

The board moved to hire Cael Matthys as Homecom-ing adviser, and Trace Bakke and Andrew Grothmann will be co-head coaches for Hills-boro-Central Valley wrestling. Rob Owens will remain an assistant.

of being in the shop and using the tools,” Blotsky stated. Elementary Principal Jeff Houdek informed the board that enrollment is at 240 students, up 16 from last year. The kindergarten class now sits at 46 youngsters. Because of the numbers, the teachers have met with Houdek and developed a new schedule which will divide the class into two groups and at other times three groups, depending on the subject being taught.

The building committee’s main topic was the greenhouse and its equipment. They had looked at the control systems and put a decision on them on hold for now. Board member Jeff Hovde had also looked at greenhouse systems at Uni-versity of ND and ND State University. The board opted to go with the basic system from MicroGrow. It was requested that teachers Keiffer and Gapp be asked to research the flood tables and irrigation. The school’s greenhouse project has received word that the $25,000 grant had been awarded. In addition, the project received a grant from the Galesburg Foundation for $2,000. The committee is waiting for draw-ings which would answer some of the questions about what is needed for electricity, plumb-ing, propane, etc. Because there is a 60-ft. setback from the bike path, the greenhouse would not fit as originally proposed and may have to be turned. The committee will be working with the City of May-ville regarding the easement and getting it set aside.

It was noted that the work in the bus barn was coming along nicely and that the concrete was to be poured this week; also that work in the parking lot had begun.

Adam Sola, the new head activities director, presented the 2019-2020 list of coaches and advisers, noting that there were still some opens spots which he was hoping to fill soon. Sola and assistant Taylor Kunkel are the activities directors.

The board did not act on a propane contract for the 2019-2020 season because it had not received any numbers from the supplier. The contract and quantity will be discussed more at the September budget meeting before the final budget reading.

The budget and finance committee has reviewed the budget and some adjustments were made based on the fed-eral dollar amounts received, staffing, etc. The final budget hearing will be in September. The revenue in federal dollars may be better than what is

now projected, noted Bradner.The budget may be a little tight, but the committee is rec-ommending a 5-mill increase. A public tax information meet-ing will be Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. in the high school gym and Bradner asked that the board meeting be changed from the scheduled morning meeting time to the same evening fol-lowing the public tax meeting.

The board approved the GST lease agreement of $20,000 for the coming year, the same as last year. The ex-penses for the leased portion of the school building in Portland will be deducted from the lease payment. Any funds remaining at the end of the year will then be paid to the MPCG School District.

Supt. Bradner presented the bullying policy with the required updates on cyber bullying as developed by the ND School Boards Associa-tion. The board accepted the first reading of the policy and were asked to review the policy carefully before the final reading in September. The board approved the 2019-2020 consolidated application for Title I-Part A and Title II-Part A, with a grand total of federal title programs of $157,384 for salaries of Teresa Agnes (100 percent), Jacki Beck (50 percent), Brad Nelson (28 per-cent) and Ashley Peterson (65 percent). Benefits of varying amounts are also included in the final figures. The motion to accept the Title Contact and Signature Authority as presented was approved. Contact person for Title I-Part A is Teresa Agnes; for Title II-Part A, class size reduction, is Jeff Houdek; Title III-Part A, language, is Bradner; Title IV-Part A, Safe and Drug Free School, is Bradner. He is also the signature authority on all title programs. A motion to name Heather Torgeson as Homeless Children and Youth Local Liaison was approved by the board.

The annual compliance re-port due in October was tabled until a future meeting. Among other things, this report deals with the teachers’ qualifica-tions for the subject matter they are teaching.

The board approved a tuition agreement for a third grader to attend school in Hat-ton. Because the deadline for open enrollment has passed, the state funding payment will not follow the student. Under a tuition agreement, the receiv-ing school, Hatton, will forego any payment.

Just a reminder: Check the district’s website for informa-tion on schedules and events of the schools.

WELCOME BACK | FRONT What plants needfertilizing and when

to do itThe days

are getting shorter and our land-scapes are in a period of transition as winter approaches. Some plants are hungry for fertilizer and some are not. Do not fertil-ize trees, shrubs, roses or perennial flowers now.

We do not want to stimulate

new growth now—this growth would be very sensitive to winter kill. Instead, allow these plants to harden off as they prepare for winter. Some plants grow aggressively in fall. This includes lawn grass-es. The key to a great lawn is a strong root system and lawn grasses grow their roots in fall. Once the cool weather of fall arrives, fertilize your lawn. If you fertilize only once a year, September is the month to do it.
