Annual Insurance Program Report
Ms. Cheryle Mangels, from the Colorado School Districts Self Insurance Pool, provided an update on insurance issues to the Board. Premium costs are down about 3%, due to reduced liability rates and property rates.
2007-08 Revised Transportation Routes
Ms. Diedrich explained proposed changes to transportation routes due to the consolidation of middle schools. Ms. Brandon and Mr. Anderson from OMT were also present at the meeting and answered questions from the Board. Ms. Diedrich noted that the District does not typically transport secondary students residing less than 2 miles from a school and that the new plan needed to make use of existing buses and drivers. The proposed plan provides transportation for middle school students living North of Hwy 285. There was some concern from Board members regarding those middle school students living between Oxford and Hwy 285. If possible, they would like to see a stop at Flood or EHS. Ms. Brandon, OMT, noted that buses would already be at maximum capacity with the proposed plan. OMT will do some additional research and bring back further information at an upcoming Board meeting. Once plans have been finalized, information will be sent to students' families.

The Board approved renewal and non-renewal of contracts as presented. Purchase of Replacement Bus
