Be Cautious
With Campaign Communication
Think before you click!
With the political season upon us, it's always a good idea to review the laws that govern campaign ethics.
If you are sending an email from your school computer, or simply forwarding an email, that deals with advocating for the election or defeat of a political candidate, you are violating state campaign ethics law and could be subject to a fine of up to $5,000.
Carol Williams, executive director of the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission, said she recently received a couple of complaints from legislators that school officials may be using their district computers to send out political emails.

Board Goals Report:
Student Performance
Ryan Karjala, associate executive director, Assessments & Accountability, reviewed student MAPS data for reading and math. Using a correlation study that compares MAPS scores with State Assessment results, his report shows the percentage of students performing on grade level in math and reading. The report also indicates the percentage of students who would be considered "college and career ready" upon graduation.
The reports shows improvement over the past three years. However, board members requested more information to show how we are addressing a drop in performance as students move from elementary to middle and high school.
Other Board Business
The board approved:
- The Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program grant for five elementary schools; the district will fund the program at the sixth school
- A low bid from F & A Food Sales for milk and juice products

- Annual Teaching & Learning software agreements
- Request to dispose of surplus technology equipment
- Site council annual reports
