North Putnam

Thursday evening, after being administered the oath of office by board President Clones. A second policy was approved by members Thursday evening dealing with nondiscrimination in the hiring practices of the corporation. Later, the board also voted to rescind an earlier board policy, which called for appointing a board member to fill a vacancy via secret ballot. Supt. Rohr informed board members that a “secret ballot” vote cannot be conducted. The appointment must be made at a public meeting via a public vote. The board unanimously approved the correction to policy made in previous years. Attempting to keep “open the communication lines” with teachers, Rohr said he will institute a program to meet with any interested teachers to discuss the school board’s meetings. “I THINK THIS WILL help us keep an open line of communications between the administration and the teachers,” Rohr explained. “I think that way we will have a better understanding what the teachers want, and the teachers will have a better understanding about where the board’s coming from in making its decisions.” Rohr has scheduled the first such teachers-superintendent meeting for 4 p.m. Jan. 15 at the Bainbridge Elementary School. To also generate awareness, and to help address concerns of board members, Rohr said he will also be contacting each individual board member to meet with him. “I want to sit down with each of the board members to get a feeling and share ideas about your priorities for the school corporation,” Rohr explained. IN OTHER BUSINESS, the board: -Named Guy Clones as president and Joe Crosby as secretary of the Board of Finance. -Approved a resolution for a $300,000 temporary loan for the corporation. This is a yearly practice of the corporation to protect itself financially in case an “emergency situation” arises during the school year. The money is not used by the corporation, unless absolutely necessary. Board members also gave Supt. Rohr permission to legally advertise for the amount. -Approved the board’s errors and omission policy, which will be purchased from the Forest T. Jones Co., who had the lowest policy price. Rohr said the company offers a three-year pre-paid policy premium of $3,668. The board earlier authorized the Tri County Agency be contacted about providing the same coverage, but that premium was greater than the Jones Company’s price. The policy provides insurance to protect board members monetarily regarding any decisions
