Quality School Construction Bonds

Bancroft-Rosalie School received an allocation of $330,000 in Qualified School Construction Bonds (QSCB). The plan is to use the money to build a two classroom addition to the north end of the existing secondary school building. Using modular construction will reduce the cost of the project by roughly 50%. The new addition will be for a K-12 music room and a social studies classroom. The exsting music room would be renovated into two elementary classrooms.

QSCB's (also known as Q-Scabs) are authorized by the federal government through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. The bonds provide federal tax credits for bond holders in lieu of interest in order to significantly reduce an issuer’s cost of borrowing for public school construction projects. The bond's will be provided at nearly 0% interest.

What are the uses and restrictions?

* Use of Proceeds. 100% of available project proceeds must be used for the construction, rehabilitation, or repair of a public school facility, or for the acquisition of land on which such a facility is to be constructed with part of the proceeds of such issue.
* Tax Credit. Credit to investor of 100% of Tax Credit Rate.
* Maturity Limit. Maximum maturity and Tax Credit Rate are set by the IRS as of the date that there is a binding, written contract for the sale of the bonds (as of May 2009, the maximum maturity was set at 15 years).
* Arbitrage Rules. The entity issuing the bonds must enter into contract to spend at least 10% of the proceed within six months of issuance, and must spend 100% of proceeds within 3 years or redeem the bonds.
* Projects funded with the bonds must comply with all ARRA provisions including the Davis-Bacon Fair Labor Act governing federal prevailing wage requirements, whistle-blower protection.

School lunch prices going up

Changes in the National School Lunch Program will result in price increases for lunches this Fall. The Federal government reimburses schools for breakfasts, lunches and after school snacks served to students. This year the reimbursement will be:
Free lunch $2.77
Reduced Lunch $2.37
Paid Lunch $0.26
Free Breakfast $1.51
Reduced Breakfast $1.21
Paid Breakfast $0.27
No reimbursement is received for adult meals.
We do not participate in the after-school snack program.
Schools are expected to charge paid lunches and breakfasts at least as much as the federal government is reimbursing for free meals minus what they reimburse for paid meals. If not, then the reimbursements for free and reduced meals from the federal government is considered to be subsidizing the students that are paid meals. In this case the feds want lunches at $2.51 and breakfasts at $1.24.

This year Bancroft-Rosalie will be raising lunch prices 25 cents, charging:
Lunch Grades 7-12 $2.25
Lunch Grades Pre-6 $2.00
Breakfast Pre-12 $1.25
Lunch Adults $3.00
Breakfast Adults $2.00
The adult minimum price is set by the federal government and that is what we charge.

The federal government is giving schools time to gradually raise their prices to the expected amount. As you can see, lunch prices will have to go up again next year to get to this price.

The price increase comes at a good time for B-R because our School Lunch account has been losing money due to the decreasing number of students, the decrease in the number of free meal qualifiers, and the increased price of food.

THE SCHOOL STRONGLY ENCOURAGES THOSE THAT QUALIFY FOR FREE OR REDUCED MEALS TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION. The school is required to verify 3% of the applications we receive each year.

Some other changes made this year:
1. Schools are required to offer two choices of milk- skim or 1%. Whole milk and 2% cannot be served.
2. Drinking water must be made available to students in the area where lunch meals are served.

High School students in summer school courses

The elementary students are not the only ones involved in summer school this year. Currently 16 high school students are taking on-line courses through a software program called Odysseyware. Courses taken include English, Algebra and Computer Applications.

The are three reasons why high school students are taking summer classes. Either they are re-taking a class they failed once, taking a class that won't fit into their schedule this fall, or taking a class that is required to get into a class they want to take this coming year.

Completing a semester class over the summer is a lot of work. Some of the students taking the computer applications course are trying to do an entire year over the summer. Of course the students taking a summer course are allowed to keep their Mac computer over the summer.

This is the first year we have had so many high school students involved in summer school. In the past it has been one or two students, generally for "credit recovery" of classes that were failed. At the end of the summer we will evaluate whether it accomplishes the goals we expect.

Farewell roast of Vicar Dom Guido

For those members of Grace Lutheran Church that missed Sunday's roast and toast farewell to Vicar Dom Guido, here are the stories that I shared, none of which are actually based on fact.

Coffee Hour Roast and Toast for Vicar Dom

We are here this morning to say farewell to vicar Dom and thank him for his service to Grace this past year. This morning’s program will include some singing, some presentations, some short skits and some good-hearted roasting. There will also be an opportunity for sharing some Dom stories.

As chairman of the Intern Committee I am responsible for completing a final evaluation of Dom for the Seminary. The intern committee and I have listened and observed throughout Dom’s time here to gather information to include in the report. The report has been completed and sent to the seminary office and of course the evaluation was very positive. This morning I would like to share a few stories that did not make the evaluation, some of which I cannot guarantee actually took place.

Dom came to Nebraska last August full of confidence and enthusiasm. Upon his arrival he met with Pastor Chris and the Bishop and they decided to take him fishing. The rowed into the lake a short distance when the Bishop realized that he had forgotten the water. So he proceeded to get out of the boat and walk across the water to the shore to get it. Once he had gotten back into the boat the Pastor Chris remembered that he had forgotten the bait." So he exited the boat and walked across the water to get the bait. When Pastor climbed back into the boat Vicar Dom said," Well if you guys can do it so can I!!! He climbed out of the boat, and fell into the water. At this point Pastor says," Do you think we should have told him where the rocks are?"

The Intern committee felt that Dom had a real gift for writing and delivering sermons. In fact one day as I was leaving church I overheard a member of the congregation tell Dom, “Vicar, today your sermon reminded me of the peace and love of God!" Dom was thrilled. "No-one has ever said anything like that about my preaching before. Tell me why." "Well - it reminded me of the Peace of God because it passed all understanding and the Love of God because it endured forever!"

Dom brought some new ideas with him to Grace. The training program he put together for ushers and worship assistants was very successful. But there were a couple of ideas that didn’t catch on. Ike serving prune juice at Holy Communion, if the Holy Spirit didn’t move you, the prune juice would. Or the week that he put the sanitary hot air hand dryer in the men’s restroom, and took it out after his sermon. When asked why he confessed that they worked fine but when he went in there he saw a sign that read, "For a sample of this week's sermon, push the button."

Dom was very creative during his time here. In fact he solved a very big problem we had at the church. It seems that we had bats living up in the bell tower. At a council meeting it was suggested to shoot them, but although some would be killed by the shot, it could leave holes in the roof and then we would have leaks as well as bats. Then it was suggested to try netting them, driving them out into the country and releasing them. But the bats would just find their way back. Vicar Dom came up with a solution. He baptized and confirmed them and we haven't seen them since.

Vicar was very active in area cluster meetings where pastors meet to discuss common issues. One night Pastor and Dom were driving down the road when they missed a turn and went into the ditch. A somewhat intoxicated man pulled up and asked if they were all right.
Dom said "Oh, yes, Jesus is with us,"
The man thought that over for a minute. "Well, you'd better tell him get in with me, you're going to kill him!"

Dom had the opportunity to fill in at a few churches around the area when their Pastors went on vacation. One morning he was at a church outside of Pender and only three people showed up to hear him preach. He asked the secretary "Did you give notice that I would be here today?".
"No" she said, "but word seems to have got round anyway".

Dom has had a lot of experience working with youth, and he is good at it. At Day Camp he set out a table of oranges and cookies. On the one side of the table, by the oranges, he placed a sign, "Take only one, God is watching!"
He saw one of the boys walk up to the cookies and started taking a handful. Dom asked him "Son, what are you doing?"
"It's Okay," the boy said, "God's watching the cookies!"


I know you are probably very anxious to be on your way. So In conclusion we want to thank you once again for your time here at Grace. We hope that we have been able to provide a very rewarding educational experience for you. Have a safe trip home. A year from now some congregation will be very lucky to have you.

Summer school starts this Monday

Jump-start summer school will begin Monday July 22. It will be held Monday through Thursday for the next three weeks from 8:30 am to 11:30 am. A bus will take students to/from Rosalie each day, leaving Rosalie at 8:10 a.m. and leaving Bancroft at 11:35 a.m.

Teachers will be Mrs. Slaughter, Mrs. Vogt, Mrs. Zwygart and Mrs. James. Para-parofessionals will be Shonna Briggs, Steph Larsen and Kayla Johnson- a junior at Wayne State College majoring in Early Childhood education.

Summer school provides students the opportunity to review skills that were mastered at the end of the last school year so they are ready when the school year officially begins. Students were selected based on the reading and math groups they were in last year. These groups are being selected in order to accelerate their lesson progress to catch them up with their peers.

The last day of summer school, August 11, will be a pizza party to celebrate their accomplishments.

Neihardt Day August 7 in Bancroft

"There once was a poet who loved beer,
All lagers and ales he held dear.
So some folks held a fest,
to pick the beer he'd like best,
and everyone had good cheer!"
-- anonymous

BANCROFT, Neb. -- Famed poet and author John Neihardt used to delight in
reading limericks he said were penned by "a fella I know."

That love of limericks -- really written by Neihardt himself -- will
be revived at the 3rd annual Neihardt Beer Festival, Saturday, Aug. 6.

The event will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the Country Pub in
Bancroft, the home of the John Neihardt State Historic Site.

The Fest is a prelude to the 47th annual Neihardt Day program held at
1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 7, at the Historic Site in Bancroft.

Richard E. Jensen, formerly a research anthropologist with the Nebraska State Historical Society, will discuss his works "Happy as a Big Sunflower: the diary of Rolf Johnson" and "Eyewitness to Wounded Knee." There will also be readings from Neihardt’s autobiography by board member Randy Lukasiewicz. Moderator will be Ron Hull of NET.
At the Beer Fest on Saturday, prizes will be awarded to the best beer-related limerick, and the best overall beer. A panel
of celebrities will chose the top Nebraska-brewed craft brew.

A dozen craft breweries and distributors are participating,
with nearly 30 styles of unique lagers, porters and ales being offered
to sample. Appetizers are also available.

The Beer Fest is a fund-raiser for the John Neihardt State Historic Site
in Bancroft. It pays homage to the great love of beer of Neihardt, the
poet laureate in perpetuity for Nebraska and the author of "Black Elk
Speaks."

Tickets for that event cost $20. For $25, advance purchased tickets will include a free Neihardt glass mug. Additional mugs may be purchased for $8. They can be ordered by calling the Neihardt Center, 1-888-777-4667, on-line at neihardt@gpcom.net or from any foundation board member. You must be 21 to participate in the tastings; ID required.

Designated drivers are admitted free, and rides home will be
available. Overnight lodging can be arranged in nearby West Point and
Pender.

Anyone who buys a Beer Fest ticket can submit a limerick or two for the top prize.

School Building Addition

The Bancroft-Rosalie School Board has been discussing building addition options. The Nebraska Department of Education has re-allocated Bancroft-Rosalie School $330,000 in 0% interest Quality School Construction Bonds (QSCB). This is in addition to $220,000 in 0% interest Quality Zone Academy Bonds (QZAB). The money can be used for remodeling and/or new construction.

Since the May bond election failed, the original plan to add a four classroom masonry addition to the north end of the school for $1.7 million is not possible. Any new project must stay within the $550,000 bond allocation of QSCB's and QZAB's.

Here are some options that have been looked at:

1. Remodel the existing music room into two elementary classrooms and add a modular music room/classroom addition to the north end of the secondary school. Estimated cost- $400,000.

2. Purchase of a used four classroom modular unit. Estimated cost- $100,000 (purchase price only)

3. Remodel the existing shop into two elementary classrooms and add a new shop building to the north of the secondary building. Estimated cost- unknown

I prefer option 1. Remodeling the shop and building a new one would be more expensive than remodeling the music room due to the large amount of electrical work in the shop. All the music room would need is a dividing wall and some doors. The false ceiling and heating and cooling are already in place. The used modular unit is suspect and the price for transporting and foundation work is not figured in. The music room/classroom addition would be attached to the existing structure so students would not have to go outside. The music addition would include two practice rooms and better storage for uniforms and instruments. There would be an additional secondary classroom with
option 1 for Mr. Peters social studies and english classes.

A modular building is not as durable as a masonry building, but we have to get what we can afford. And right now a music room/ classroom addition looks like a good choice. The 0% interest bonds would be paid back at a rate of 4 cents on the tax levy. The repayment will begin once the existing bond of 19 cents ends in December 2015. Which means in 2016 the tax levy will drop 15 cents.

Betterment community meeting minutes.

Bancroft Betterment met July 5 at 5:15 pm at the Country Pub. The minutes of the June meeting were read and approved.

Dr. Jon Cerny reported on the school addition efforts. The school received an additional 0% interest loan allocation to bring the total to $550,000.

Jon Bailey reported that Neihardt Trail is still being pursued by the Bancroft Village Board.

Garry Clark reported on a County Internship Program July 25. The Cuming County Economic Development Board annual meeting will be Sunday Sept. 25 with county awards to recognize community projects. The Façade Improvement Grant program will be ready to receive applications soon.

Dr. Cerny reported that Neihardt Beerfest will be August 6 from 6:30-8:30 pm at the Country Pub.

Only 121 community income surveys were returned out of 207. The remaining surveys need to be returned in order to continue with housing efforts for Bancroft. It was suggested to hold a cash drawing for anyone who returned a survey. Three prizes- one $50 and two $25- will be awarded.

Dr. Cerny reported that the recycling committee is looking into a grant to purchase a green fiber trailer. The community theater production of “Murder at the Orient Express” will be July 29,30,31.

A decision on the food pantry will need to be approved by the Betterment Board of Directors. The Presbyterian Church agreed to participate.

The next meeting will be Wednesday August 3 at 5:15 pm at the Country Pub.

3rd Annual Neihardt Beer Festival Aug. 6 in Bancroft

Neihardt Beerfest will be at the Country Pub in Bancroft Saturday August 6 from 6:30-8:30 pm. Ticket cost is $20. For an extra $5 and an advance ticket purchase you can get a Neihardt beer mug.

The best beers at the fest will be chosen. New this year is a limerick contest. Nehardt enjoyed limericks.

Plan now to attend a great evening and support the John G. Neihardt Historic Site in Bancroft.

Murder At The Orient Express July 29-31 in bancroft

Old Crows Nest demolished

The blue Crow's Nest that oversaw many football games in the park has been removed. Rumor is that it will live out its retirement years as a deer-stand. Construction on the new crow's nest (aka sports booth) will begin shortly. At the request of many patrons two small restrooms will be placed in the lower level for use at football and softball games.

School lunch prices to increase

Families will be paying more for school lunches this year because of a new federal rule- part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. The rule is intended to make the price for school lunches better reflect costs of preparing that meal and to reduce the amount of federal money for free and reduced price lunches that supplements the cost of full price meals. This rule gives schools five years to get their lunch prices up to the level that the federal government reimburses schools for students that receive free school lunches.

Bancroft-Rosalie raised the price of school lunches 25 cents across the board for 2011-12. The increased cost of food has caused the school food program to lose money each of the last two years.
Lunch prices-
Adults $3.00
Grades 7-12 - $2.25
Grades P-6 - $2.00
Ala Carte Lunch - $1.00
extra milk and juice $.50

Breakfast prices did not change and are the following:
Adults - $2.00
Grades Pre-12 - $1.25
Ala Carte Breakfast $.50

The 25 cent increase will cost a student an addition $45 per year to eat school lunches.

High Ability students identified

The high ability students are identified based on scores on achievement tests and state assessments.

Superintendent Cerny presented the June transportation report, the annual library report, the vocational education report, school improvements at the school and plans for Rosalie gym repairs. A budget amendment will need to be made to the bond fund at the August board meeting because of the refunding of the 1997 bonds.
The board decided to accept out of district preschool students as long as there was room available.

Principal Sjuts presented information on the Positive Behavior Intervention Supports program, handbook changes for 2011-12 and 2011-12 athletic schedules.

In old business the board discussed proposals for a two classroom addition from Beckenhauer Construction and Heritage Schools. The board passed a resolution authorizing the issuance of limited tax obligation bonds in the amount of $554,033. Dr. Cerny will work with the Bancroft Village Board to draw up an agreement for the year-round mowing of the athletic field complex.

Disrupting Class

I just finished the book "Disrupting Class- How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns" by Clayton Christensen. The book is recommended by the Nebraska Department of Education for schools that are implementing one-to-one computer initiatives.

The author points out the "glancing" impact that technology has had on school classrooms, explains why schools have not embraced technology for instruction, and describes how disruptive technologies can revolutionize education.

Disruptive Innovation Theory explains why some organizations struggle with innovation and how organizations can predictably succeed in innovation. Most organizations focus on "sustaining innovations", those that provide new and improved products and services. Disruptive innovations are those that bring to market a product or service that actually is not as good as what companies historically had been selling. Established companies do not invest in the disruptive innovation, it is developed and marketed by small companies who find a market for the less expensive "disruptive innovation."

An example the author uses is computers. Originally computers cost over $200,000 and required an engineer to operate them. Apple developed the model IIE computer as a toy for children. Leading computer manufacturers did not get into the personal computer market because its existing customers could not use them- they could not solve the problems they needed solving. Apple customers were those that had been nonconsumers of computers and therefore would settle for a less effective computer and a cheaper price. Eventually the disruptive innovation- the personal PC- improved to the point that it put the original computer manufacturers out of business. Other examples include transistor televisions vs. cathode ray tube televisions (if you remember these you are as old as me), the Kodak camera, Bell telephone, Sony transistor radio, Ford Model T, the Toyota Prius!!!, Xerox photocopier, Southwest airlines affordable flight, Fidelity mutual funds, and Google advertising.

So how does the author apply this to schools? He claims that disruptive innovation can circumvent roadblocks that have prevented other attempts at school reform. The disruptive innovation will be in the form of student-centric technology- software that meets the educational needs of each student, based on that students interests, intelligence and favored learning style. This software is not currently available because the research and development costs are too high for existing textbook and software companies.

The author believes that the disruption will start with students taking online courses not available at their school. It will continue as parents and students find tutorials or content online to help those that are struggling with a concept.He claims that by 2014, 20% of students will be taking some classes online.

What schools should do now.
Each school should have one person whose job it is to implement online courses. That person should be free to take whatever steps are necessary to bring in online courses to help the children in the school have access to and find the classes they need.

Summer building improvements

A couple building improvements are being addressed this summer. The new gym floor is being completely sanded down, repainted, and finished. This process will put the gym out of use from July 5 to July 25. It will take eight days just to sand the floor. The work is being done by Jeltema from Orange City Iowa.

The junior high locker rooms had the shower-heads replaced by Bonsall Construction. Money for this project was raised through the Cuming County Feeders steak fund-raiser at the Football semi-final game with West Point CC last fall. The new stainless steel shower-heads are more durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Combination class for K-1

This Fall we are expecting 23 first graders and 21 kindergarten. In order to arrange for class sizes of 20 or below in the grades K-3, I am planning on having a kindergarten class (Mrs. Slaughter), a K-1 class (Ms. Uherka), and a first grade class (Mrs. Schuttler. Each teacher will have no more than 15 students in their room.

Talking with the teachers, it makes the most sense to split the students by age. I will send out a letter to the parents later this month explaining which class their child will be in.
