Action 38576

Dr. James Nold, Assistant Superintendent, presented updates on the current 2019/2020 calendar due to changes required because of coronavirus, slight modifications to the 2020/2021 calendar previously approved, and the recommendation for the 2021/2022 calendar (see MRF #18339), as follows: This executive summary contains information from three reports on the same topic: school calendars for 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22. A committee of 29 people representing all employee groups, the school board, parents and community members meets regularly to review and establish school calendars. In April each year, the current calendar is revisited for modifications if necessary due to inclement weather. The District incurred one day of inclement weather during the 2019-20 school year. However, more impactful was the recommendation by Governor Kristi Noem on March 12, 2020 that all schools be temporarily closed due to the coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. Governor Noem eventually extended that order for schools to be closed for the remainder of the academic year. Remote learning began almost immediately. Given the continued engagement of students and teachers, the District is recommending that the last day of the 2019-20 school year for students remain, as scheduled, May 20, 2020. Teachers will finalize grades and end the year on May 21, 2020. The committee further reviewed the previously approved 2020-21 calendar and made a change that reduces the strain on substitute teachers and positively impacts the budget at the same time. This change is to schedule a compensatory day during the State Basketball Tournament. That concept is also recommended for the 2021-22 calendar. In addition to the committee, the District regularly surveys stakeholders and, to the extent possible, implements feedback in the calendar to best serve students and families. Dr. Nold requested that the Board take a separate action for each calendar. Following general discussion, a motion was made by Carly R. Reiter and seconded by Kate Parker, five (5) votes “yes” on roll call approving the 2021/2022 School Year Calendar based on the recommendation of the Calendar Committee.

Action 38577

Following discussion about the 2020/2021 Calendar revisions (see MRF #18339 and Action 38318, adopted 5-28-2019), a motion was made by Kate Parker and seconded by Nan Baker, five (5) votes “yes” on roll call, adopting the revisions to the 2020/2021 School Year Calendar based on the recommendation of the Calendar Committee.

Action 38577

Following discussion about the 2019/2020 Calendar revisions (see MRF #18339; Action 38218, adopted 1-28-2019, a motion was made by Nan Baker and seconded by Kate Parker, five (5) votes “yes” on roll call, adopting the revisions to the 2019/2020 School Year Calendar based on the recommendation of the Superintendent to use the remote learning days as instructional minutes per Senate Bill 188, passed March 30, 2020 by the South Dakota Legislature, and to maintain May 20th as the final student instructional day and May 21st as the final Teacher workday for the 2019/2020 School Year.

Action 38578 Todd Vik, Business Manager, presented the third quarter finance report (see MRF #18340 and Action 38293, adopted 4-22-2019), as follows: Mr. Vik reported that General Fund revenues are on track and expenditures are coming in at 66 percent spent with 75 percent of the year gone.

Reiter, five (5) votes “yes” on roll call, acknowledging the FY20 Third Quarter Financial report.

Action 38579

Jeff Kreiter, Director of Operational Services, presented an update on the current and future project status for the District’s Capital Improvement Projects, as follows: The Sioux Falls School District (SFSD) takes pride in its facilities and maintains them with safety/security and with adequate life-expectancy in mind. Projects are budgeted and bid to ensure the best use of capital outlay and approved bond fund dollars. The District is completing basic renovations and security updates to entrances at Robert Frost and Horace Mann Elementary Schools. The project at Laura Wilder Elementary makes improvements to add an elevator for better second floor access. Construction at Thomas Jefferson High School continues with some minor changes. As part of the bond projects, a construction contingency fund and an owner contingency fund were established and are being accessed. Mr. Kreiter explained that there are two Change Orders needed for the project, as follows: Change Order # CC-001 for 17 items in the amount of $53,915.00 Change Order # OC-001 to modify floor coverings $ 28,034.00

Action 38580

Todd Vik, Business Manager, presented a report to set a new Election Date due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, as follows:

The South Dakota Legislature met March 30, 2020 and passed legislation postponing all elections that were to be held in April and May until a Tuesday in June. The combined Municipal/School Board election was to be held April 14, 2020 and was postponed by the South Dakota Legislature. The City is proposing to hold the combined Municipal/School Board Election in conjunction with the State Primary Election to be held June 2, 2020. Although the City and School District races are non-partisan, the City and School District understand that it is best to conduct their postponed election with the June Primary. Voters will have an opportunity to vote their primary ballot and can receive the City/School ballot at the same time. There will be two ballot boxes; one for the primary and one for the city/school ballots. Because the City and School District had to abide by the legal deadlines set for the April 14th Election, absentee balloting began March 30, 2020. Ballots were mailed to those voters who had requested them. In-person absentee voting also began March 30, 2020 at Election Central on Sixth Street. Cities and schools do not have to reprint their ballots. All deadlines will be changed to meet the deadlines of the new election date. The new deadline to register to vote in the June 2nd election is May 18, 2020. Absentee balloting will continue. Absentee ballots must be requested by June 1, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. Absentee ballots must be returned to Election Central before the polls close at 7:00 p.m., June 2, 2020.


- 23 -

Deadline for campaign finance reports will be extended as well. The pre-election report is due May 18th to report expenditures and receipts through May 13th. The post-election report will be due in the Finance Office July 17, 2020. The post-election report may be a termination report if all funds have been expended.

Polling places may be changed due to the new election date and poll workers will have to be contacted with the new date and possibly a new location. All required legal notices will have to be published to meet the requirements of the new election date.

A new map will be created and the District’s website will be updated as information becomes available.

Following general discussion, a motion was made by and seconded by , five (5) votes “yes” on roll call, approving June 2, 2020 as the revised date for the 2020 School District Election in accordance with the law passed by the South Dakota Legislature March 30, 2020 (see MRF #18343 and Action 38465, adopted 11-25-2019.).

Action 38582

On motion by and seconded by, five (5) votes “yes” on roll call, the School Board adjourned at 6:27 p.m.
