Superintendent's Report

•Curriculum Report - Superintendent Collins introduced Director of Curriculum and Instruction to report to give and overview of the Curriculum and Instruction Report that she will be submitting to the State of Minnesota. Rebarchik invited board members to visit the school district website to view the report in it's entirely at: www.hastings.k12.mn.us

•Kindergarten Data - Superintendent Collins gave board members a brief overview of Kindergarten Data over the past 7 years in the district comparing students in the Rotation Day (A/B) Program versus students enrolled in the All Day Every Day (ADED), Fee Based Program. Collins outlined that it is difficult to compare the data because over the seven year span the programs have changed so it would be difficult for him to recommend to the board that the school district move towards the ADED Program being the only option available to parents.

•Van Program - Mr. Collins detailed that over the past few years the school district has initiated the purchase of two vans that are used to transport Special Ed students as well as other students for various activities in and around the district for a variety of group activities. The use of the vans has been quite successful and has lessened the need for busing of small groups of students for both curricular and extracurricular activities. Collins said that over the next several years, the school district may look to expand the use of these types of vehicles.

•2012-13 Enrollment - Superintendent Collins touched briefly on the enrollment numbers for the current school year. The enrollment is down across the district approximately 68-70 students. Collins reminded the board that these numbers are still quite fluid and usually we have a better idea of final enrollment by November 1st.

•Hastings Public Schools Foundation (HPSF) Raffle - Board Chair Cater addressed the board about the upcoming HPSF Gala Event on October 6th and also that the Foundation is sponsoring a raffle which will allow members of the community, who may not be able to attend the Gala Event, to still be involved in helping to raise funds for the HPSF.
