Dear Ennis Mustang Families & Community,
I hope this finds you all well.

Please know that this is only a summary and not official minutes. If you are ever interested in viewing previous agendas and meeting minutes, you can find all of that on the school website www.ennisschools.org.
Please contact me with questions, comments, or concerns.

Special Board Meeting Summary for July 31, 2023
Summary
Several policies were reviewed and adopted by the board. These policies required changes to existing policies due to the changes in the law. The Covid policies were deleted from the manual. The Ennis School District is a member of Montana School Board Association, which includes policy services. MTSBA attorneys provide the district with the policies and keep our policies current. All policies are linked on the school website.
Joseph Mullener was approved for Head Cross Country Coach. He will be assisted by Mrs. Graden. Joseph will be our new HS Science teacher.
Logan Beckman (7-12 PE) was approved for JH Volleyball. Christy Nelson (7-12 SPED) was hired for an additional assistant if the participation of students warrants it.
Jessica Allen was approved as a route driver and will be driving the Varney route.
Casey Klasna was approved as a sub route/activity driver.
Brian Hilton was approved as a sub route/activity driver.
Dianne Burhart was approved as a paraprofessional to assist the elementary instructional staff.
There was a discussion on the various handbooks that will be considered for adoption at the August 14th meeting. The discussion primarily included attendance, dress code, cell phones.
Superintendent Klasna and Business Manager Martello presented a school budget training for the Trustees. All school budgets will be considered at the noticed School Budget Meeting on August 14.
Also, wanted to keep you all updated on the school housing initiative #2. The duplex that is being constructed by the HS parking lot is on schedule and hoping to be completed by the middle of September. Currently, it is all dried in and electrical, plumbing, and HVAC is completed. This duplex is being paid by Covid relief money and the flexibility fund.
All of the instructional staff have been hired and we are sitting very well. We are still short bus drivers! We will pay for all training, willing to look at a split shift, and we start drivers at $25/hr. Guaranteed 22.5 hours per week. Prorated benefits. This requires a CDL with an air brake, bus, and passenger endorsement as well as a mandatory drug test. This is a VERY rewarding job. We are also looking for a custodian for this school year. The shift, once school starts, is from 3-11pm. Starting wage is $19.30/hr with excellent benefits. We are ALWAYS looking for substitutes for teaching, office, as well as custodial and kitchen. All subs are paid $13/hr. If interested in any positions, please call me at 406-682-4258.
The next meeting will be on Monday, August 14th @ 5:30pm in RM #3 of the High School.
