School Board Workshops
On Thursday, August 24, Wednesday August 2, and Thursday August 3rd Bill Howard and I attended the Area School
Board Workshop, and the Labor Relations Workshop. Both workshops presented valuable information in regard to
school board governance and school board negotiations. Appreciation is extended to Bill for taking the time from his
busy schedule to attend these important school board events. He will share information with the board in regard to
teacher negotiations about new software that has been developed by the NASB to assist Nebraska School Boards in
the negotiation process. Information about the software is located at the NASB website at
www.nebraska.bargaining.com. Users who want to see all of the negotiation functions are asked to highlight the “user
manual” at the bottom of the page and work through all of the functions available to school districts.

Assignment of New Board Member
Included in the packet are two letters, one from Mitch Feldman, and one from Will Johnson. Both are excellent
candidates to fill the board vacancy. The board will need to make a motion to ask and assign one of these gentlemen to
the board of education to fill the board vacancy, effective immediately.
Motion: I recommend that Mitch Feldman be asked and assigned to fill the board of education vacancy that
will run until January 2017.
