The President declared the Resolution adopted as follows:

RESOLUTION ORDERING A SPECIAL ELECTION ON THE ISSUANCE OF $12,050,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION SCHOOL BONDS

WHEREAS, there has been filed with the President of this Board a Petition of eligible electors of this School District asking that an election be called to submit the question of contracting indebtedness and issuing bonds of the School District in an amount not to exceed $12,050,000 to provide funds to remodel, repair, improve, and equip the Elementary School facility, including HVAC improvements; to build, furnish, and equip additions to the Junior / Senior High School facility, including a new competition gym and new space for career and technical education, with related remodeling and improvements, safety and security upgrades, and site improvements, including relocation of the main entrance and drop-off and pick-up areas; and

WHEREAS, this Board has examined the Petition and finds that it is signed by eligible electors of the School District numbering at least 25% of those voting at the last election of school officials and that the purposes set forth in the petition cannot be accomplished within the limit of one and one-quarter percent of the assessed value of the taxable property in the School District; and

WHEREAS, the proposal for the issuance of Bonds or any other proposal incorporating any portion of it has not or will not have been submitted to the qualified electors of the School District for a period of at least six months prior to the date of election being called in these Proceedings;

WHEREAS, this Board has also determined it is necessary to submit at the special school election the proposition of authorizing the Board of Directors to levy annually a tax exceeding Two Dollars and Seventy Cents ($2.70) per Thousand Dollars ($1,000), but not exceeding Four Dollars and Five Cents ($4.05) per Thousand Dollars ($1,000) of the assessed value of the taxable property to pay the principal of and interest on bonded indebtedness; the Board acknowledges that approval of this proposition does not limit the source of payment of the Bonds and interest but only restricts the amount of Bonds which may be issued:

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED BY THE EDGEWOOD-COLESBURG COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT, IN THE COUNTIES OF CLAYTON AND DELAWARE, STATE OF IOWA:

Section 1. That an election is called of the qualified electors of the Edgewood-Colesburg Community School District in the Counties of Clayton and Delaware, State of Iowa, on Tuesday, November 2, 2021.

Section 2. Because it is necessary to approve a tax levy for the payment of principal and interest on the above Proposition, the following question also will be submitted to the qualified electors at the special election held on Tuesday, November 2, 2021:

PROPOSITION 2

Shall the Board of Directors of the Edgewood-Colesburg Community School District in the Counties of Clayton and Delaware, State of Iowa, be authorized to levy annually a tax exceeding Two Dollars and Seventy Cents ($2.70) per Thousand Dollars ($1,000), but not exceeding Four Dollars and Five Cents ($4.05) per Thousand Dollars ($1,000) of the assessed value of the taxable property within said school corporation to pay the principal of and interest on bonded indebtedness of said school corporation, it being understood that the approval of this proposition shall not limit the source of payment of the bonds and interest, but shall only operate to restrict the amount of bonds which may be issued?

The Board came back into open session at 8:42p.m.

Director Venteicher stated that after reviewing and listening to the comments tonight, the board has reached a decision but they are deeply concerned regarding the pattern of truancy they have seen. It hasn’t been present just this year, but has been a repeated offense. As a board who is entrusted to ensure our students are receiving an education, they are deeply concerned about the number of days that the student has missed. There is a dangerous precedent being set that will affect the student in their future academic career and their employment beyond that.

That being said, the inconsistencies in the stories, notes, and reasons, make the board feel that we would be enabling more truant behavior by letting the student receive credit for last semester. BUT as a board, they feel that they are not in a position to undermine the authority of a physician's note excusing these absences. They feel the doctor's note leaves their hands tied and puts the student in a position where their absences listed in the note from the physician are excused.

Director Kirby moved to approve the student’s credits for the first semester for the classes the student passed. This approval is based on the following stipulations. Per our board policy, moving forward all absent or tardy days must be reported to the school the day of the absence or tardiness. This communication will be via email and will be sent to THREE individuals: Dawn, Rob, and Dan. One or all will acknowledge the receipt of the email.

Stipulation TWO. Per board policy, any absences over 3 days must be accompanied by a Doctors' note for those specific absences. We will not accept posted-dated doctor notes for absences that are over two weeks old.

Stipulation THREE. Any deviance from these two stipulations will result in our original motion being rescinded.

Therefore, our original motion, based on the stipulations listed above, will read Director Kirby moved to approve the students’ credits for first semester for the classes the student passed assuming the aforementioned stipulations are followed. The motion was seconded by Elliot. Motion carried 4-0.

With no further business to come before the board for consideration at this time, Director Elliot moved to adjourn the meeting at 8:47p.m. Director Kirby seconded the movement. Motion carried 4-0.

Held Exempt Session for Preparation for Collective Bargaining per Iowa Code 20.17(3)
