Title Funds DiscussionMaria referenced a sheet had included in board folders regarding Title One Money. She reportedthat we are currently weaning the CSD off Title I money due to the many strings attached to thesefunds and having the designation of a Focus or Monitor School. We are typically allotted $75,000- $80,000 per year. After much deliberation, 2 options regarding dropping Title I funding at thehigh school are being presented for board consideration.
Option 1: Do not accept any money, resulting in a loss of revenue of $75,000-$80,000.
Option 2: Consolidate our application with MSAD #28, since the Asistant Superintendent ifresponsible for both districts' funds and applications. This would mean that all Title money (I,II,VI) could be shared between the 2 districts. We would use the $75,000-$80,000 of CSD Title I

allocations at CRES for a Math Title One program, and we would be able to use somewherearound $15K of Title II and VI for the CSD for professional development.

BUDGET APPROVAL PROCESS – REVIEW OF MEMO FROM DRUMMOND WOODSUM Guy explained he requested the explanation of the budget process from Drummond Woodsum. Tori asked that the budget process method be evaluated by the board. One of her issues is that there is no way to change the amount in the CTE budget. Guy advised that this could be on a future agenda. Jerry asked if this question could be sent out to committee. Kim suggested the Finance Committee look into the details and report back to the board on the various costs for changing the method. John Lewis felt that there is an issue of representation. Guy will add the budget method discussion to the next agenda. Beth advised that the costs for doing a referendum in nineteen towns could be cost prohibitive. EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN REVIEW AND TRAINING Sherry reviewed the Emergency Management Plan with the board. The board is required to review this plan annually. Also, the board must be trained on the evacuation protocols per OSHA rules.

Guy asked that the committee meet after the board meeting to set a date for the first meeting and notify Sherry. The committee will choose a chair and create a timeline at their first meeting. AD HOC LEPG COMMITTEE Joanne advised the committee has created a draft document that needs to be approved by the board and she shall then forward to the state. The state will review and possibly tweak the document. Jerry advised the board can approve this draft document and ultimately this may become the model at the state level for CTE schools as no other school has submitted one as of yet. The deadline for submission to the state is end of May. This document is based on the Marzano model and the rubric saftisfies the law. The language in the document had to be altered to address CTE.
MOTION by Lewis, seconded by White, to approve the draft LEPG plan and forward to the state Motion passed unanimously Total weighted votes: 832.61

Motion approved unanimously Total weighted votes: 832.61
MANY FLAGS UPDATE Kim reported that the board met two times during February and March. She is reporting on the sustainability of the organization. In the past year, the participating districts have re-focused their attentions and funding for Many Flags has dwindled. Funding from the JT Gorman Foundation can cover expenses through August, 2015. No private donors have come forward with donations to Many Flags. The April board meeting will include a serious discussion on the future of Many Flags. A plan will be developed based on what the board decides. Erik asked if there are other reasons the momentum has been lost. Kim thought the turnover in Superintendents and leadership in the districts has changed the participation and commitment to Many Flags. Erik felt the board’s focus has shifted from the local schools to a more social aspect. Kim will take these thoughts back to the Many Flags board.
CHAIR UPDATE Guy has been trying to understand the budget process and to clarify the process for the board. He hopes the board now understands the process. The RSU 40 board has voted to not send a second cohort to the Bridge Program. Tori asked about RSU 13 sending a cohort for next year. Beth advised the planning year for RSU 13 will be next year with a cohort the following year. Tori advised the CSD will also send a cohort that same year. DIRECTOR UPDATE The Adult Ed CDL Instructor has resigned and the position is being advertised. The Vinalhaven instructor postion is also being advertised as the current instructor is retiring. The Culinary program is undergoing a three year review with the American Culinary Federation. The final report will be issued in coming days. An informal report by the reviewers lauded the number of dual enrollment opportunies for our students. One suggestion is that all the students get uniforms. Beth testified before the Education Committee on the STEM Council. She is also presenting to the Maine Assocation of Career and Technical Education (MACTE) on the STEM report. Beth advised that the Comprehensive School Review (similar to NEASC) for MCST, through the DOE, will be occurring next year. Two DOE staff will be coming to MCST on May 15th. She is inviting the chairs of the Personnel, Curriculum, and Facilities Committees to attend the meeting. Tentatively, next January the team will be conducting the school review. After this next review, MCST will be on a six year review cycle. Some of our teachers have participated in school reviews at other CTE schools in Maine. Bill Pearce asked about Oceanside holding school on Saturdays and if this affects MCST. Beth advised that RSU 13 is the only school attending on Saturdays and MCST is not holding school on those dates. Jerry advised that he felt the Chair should be given authority to approve family sick leave for a staff member if necessary.
MOTION by White, seconded by Lewis, that board authority be given to the Board Chair to approve additional sick time as necessary up to the April board meeting
Motion approved with one abstention (Bourrie) Total weighted votes: 754.72 Bobby reported that 10 students received medals at the state Skills USA competition in Bangor. Eight of our students will attend the national competition in June. One of the Skills USA advisors (Kristy Hastings) was named Advisor of the Year. Marine Tech students competed in the marine competition last Saturday in Portland. Jerry commended the students who participated in the various competitions and would like a letter of commendation be sent to the students and signed by all board members.

Review DRAFT Dropout Prevention Plan We discussed the low attendance at the meeting and we realize that due to the missed days from snowstorms, everyone is rescheduling missed meetings and we understand the difficulties associated with that. We also reviewed the DRAFT Plan. Helen had been using research from the University of Maine/ Students at Risk from 2016. However, Helen did a literature review and found a more recent study which exemplifies our “at risk” population”. Kristin suggested we do a survey of students regarding what is important to them. We briefly discussed it and we will have further discussion at our next meeting. She also suggested training with regards to social networking and cyber bullying. Helen sent the Dropout Prevention Plan (DRAFT). Please review the document and come to the next meeting with your feedback. 4.

The meeting was called to order at 6:00PM.
Administration presented a list of further reductions/changes to the requested budget. Actual health insurance premiums will increase 3.5% for 2015-2016. All three Union Contracts for wages/benefits are currently under negotiations and a 2-3% increase has been budgeted for payroll increases. The finance committee reviewed first level changes and approved all by “straw poll vote”. The finance committee agreed to send a budget to the School Board for approval which results in a 2.13% ($216,079) increase to the taxpayer, a 2.43% ($285,597) increase to the budget, a total assessment to taxpayers of $10,370,292 and a total expense budget of $12,060,715. The budget to actual was reviewed for March. The budget should have 23% remaining and currently there is 21.70% remaining. Administration reported that the variance was due to timing issues – we have paid the entire debt service for the year and are also one payment ahead for Mid Coast School of Technology.
