The Pleasant View R-6 Board of Education met on Tuesday night to set its 2020-21 levy.
According to information provided by R-6 Superintendent Rebecca Steinhoff, the board approved a levy of 4.9508 on the $100 assessed valuation. The rate represents an increase of 14.14 cents over the rate from a year ago.
The board adopted the state special education compliance plan and approved the 2019-2020 Annual Secretary of the Board Report, the 2020-2021 school bus routes and the free and reduced lunch guidelines. The board also had a first reading of MSBA policies.
Mrs. Steinhoff reported the new addition is nearly complete. The addition will house the sixth through eighth grade classes and will be ready by the first day of school, which is Aug. 26. She reviewed the new after-school program, which will run from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on regular school days and 1:20 to 5:30 p.m. on early-out days. The cost of the program is $25 per week, per child and will include a snack, homework help and organized activities.
The board reviewed the district reopening plan. It was noted that a virtual open house will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. on Aug. 24. Parents will drive through the circle lot in front of the school and exchange supplies for their enrollment packet. Teachers will be posting videos introducing themselves and showing the classroom on “Class Dojo” or “Facebook.”
In an executive session, the board hired Kadi Gamble as the after school program coordinator as well as finalized enrollment for the 2020-2021 school year.
The next regular board meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 8.
