D. Kenai Peninsula Borough-KPBSD Joint Assembly Meeting Preparation

The Board and Assembly meet again today at 2:15 p.m. for a joint budget work session. Mr. Dusek shared and discussed his PowerPoint for the meeting. He clarified that the wages and salary figures are based on the current contract with employee step increases only.
Mr. Anderson suggested presenting features and benefits for the district (i.e. graduation rates vs funding increases). Knowing the funding amount early allows for planning and better success.
Mr. Navarre asked for the difference in funding between current amount and the cap. He suggested the effects of the two be explained clearly to the Borough.
Mr. Dusek said the district will ask for maximum funding.

E. 2018 Legislative Update

Mr. Dusek discussed new legislation for the upcoming session. The administration will develop position statements for the board to share with legislators.
Mrs. Vadla is waiting for a revised copy of the AASB Legislative Priorities. She will send them to Mrs. Tressler to share with the board and upload to BoardDocs.

G. Information Sheet for Public

The committee discussed developing a one-page information sheet that can be shared with parents during parent-teacher conferences and other meetings (as suggested by Mr. Illg). The sheet would be similar to those that Ms. Erkeneff produces for legislators but, designed more for the local residents.
Next possible meeting date is Feb. 6, 2018.
