November Change Orders and Other MTLSD Business

The November 11, 2013 school board agenda has been published here.

Amy Lewis and Dave Duessel from Maher Duessel, CPAs will be at the November 18, 2013 school board meeting to review the results of their fiscal audit of the 2012-13 school year finances.

A new tax collector and delinquent tax collector will be appointed on November 18, 2013 due to the unfortunate passing of John Ferguson.

"WealthEngine, whom the District has contracted to provide wealth screening services for the capital campaign, will provide a National Change of Address service and initial wealth screening for about 18,000 alumni records which will be used to populate the campaign database. The total cost with an early signing discount is $6,840." I hope the school district will share alumni records with reunion committees. The Class of 1972 was able to located approximately 700 alumni. I am wondering if this purchase is truly necessary.

Proposed new rental rates covering current and anticipated costs will be presented to the Board for consideration.
