Superintendent’s Report

Summer Projects: Superintendent Murphy updated the Board on the progress of the summer construction projects.

Fall IASB Events: Superintendent Murphy advised the Board CCHS would be hosting the Shawnee Region IASB Dinner Meeting on October 10, 2018, at 6:00 p.m.  The Joint Annual Conference is scheduled for November 16-18, 2018.

Track and Fields: Superintendent Murphy updated the Board on the track and fields projects.  He said preliminary budget estimates from Byrne & Jones had been received and that he would be meeting with Athletics and Dr. Woodard to discuss potentially soliciting bid proposals in late summer/early fall. He also advised that an external audit of the facility would be done be in July to plan for upcoming facility needs in the building.

Following discussion by the Board it was determined that a long-range strategic planning committee would be considered to assist in the planning of future maintenance and facility projects on the school campus

Pension Budget Legislation: Superintendent Murphy updated the Board on the pension budget legislation.  He said school districts are currently penalized if members of the Teachers Retirement System receive raises in excess of 6% in their final four years before retirement.  The most recent budget legislation changed this amount to 3%. Our current contract with the CCHSEA expires in 2021, and includes language allowing raises up to 6%. However, current contracts appear to be “grandfathered,” so we will not see immediate issues with the change. However, we will likely need to amend our contract language in accordance with the new law during the next negotiations cycle.  It will also be more difficult for districts to avoid penalties in the coming years.
