Rugby Public School District #5,
Board of Education, held a regular
board meeting Tuesday, September
8, 2020 at 7:00 AM in the Library at
Rugby High School.
Board members present were Dustin
Hager, Kris Blessum, Shane
Livedalen, Carlie Johnson, and
Brenda Heilman.
Also present were Mike McNeff,
Jared Blikre, Jason Gullickson, and
Dawn Hauck. In addition, the follow-
ing were in attendance: Karleen
Blessum.
Chairman Hager called the meeting
to order at 7 AM.
Motion by Heilman to approve the
agenda. Second by Johnson. All
voting yes, motion carried.
The FY21 Budget Hearing was held.
Dr. McNeff gave a review of the FY
2021 Budget. Enrollment is up
roughly 13 students from last year.
There was a 2% increase to the
state aid per pupil payment putting it
at $10,036/student. The school dis-
trict is now off the state funding for-
mula and is relying on the transition
minimum for state funding purposes.
This is due to the increase in past
student counts from Wolford School
District. The district will remain on
this transition minimum until the dis-
trict enrollment increases or the per
pupil payment increases. Taxable
value has been affected due to the
addition of the land from Wolford
School District. The anticipated mill
levies are 82 mills in the General
Fund which includes the required 60
mills, plus 12 mills Miscellaneous,
plus 10 mills Discretionary. There is
a 3 mill Special Reserve Levy, a 5
mill Building Fund Levy plus 0.25
mills for Special Assessments, and
21 mills for the Sinking and Interest
Levy.
Mr. Gullickson gave the elementary
report. Included in the report were
the following items: Enrollment is
currently about 319 students with 14
being enrolled in the virtual
academy. The staff and students are
having lunch in their rooms so
reduce transition and contact times.
Phy-Ed is also being held outside.
Social distancing, hand washing,
and sanitizing measures are in
place. Gates have been installed
and are ready to use to close the
street once the alley re-routing work
has been completed. MAP testing is
the benchmark for Reading and
Math for grades 1-6. This bench-
mark assessment will be completed
this week. There are 30 girls in the
5th and 6th grade basketball pro-
gram. Picture day is the 15th. Last
Friday was the first Friday of off-site
learning for the year. Teachers are
using their Friday time for learning
the new Phonics and Reading
Mastery curriculums.
Mr. Blikre gave the high school re-
port. Included in the report were the
following items: Blikre noted how it
is good to have students back in the
buildings. MAP testing is underway
for students in grades 7-12. Picture
day is the 24th. Homecoming will be
held next week. There will be coro-
nation and a parade, but there will
be no bonfire, dance, or powder puff
football. Currently there are 281 stu-
dents enrolled with 11 enrolled in the
virtual academy.
Dr. McNeff gave the District report.
Included in the report: The virtual
academy currently has 29 students
enrolled. Their classes start this
week. Ashley Seykora will oversee
the curriculum and content for the
students through Arizona State
University. The district will pay the
tuition costs. There are five stu-
dents that may need a different cur-
riculum due to their needs. There
were two food service employees
and one custodian hired for support
staff. The Health and Safety Plan
has been followed as there have
been 5 staff members and 15 stu-
dents that either tested positive for
COVID-19 or were close contacts.
All staff and students should be back
this week. Contract tracing is being
done by McNeff in conjunction with
the County Health Nurse, Sam
Wentz. Spectators at
extra-curricular events is limited to
immediately family only. There have
been many technology issues as the
year starts. The district was given
1,000 more IP’s to help with the
volume of streaming and internet
use. In addition, about $70,000
worth of switches will need to be re-
placed very soon to help with other
issues as the old ones are going
bad. The Bank of North Dakota has
$30 million from the CARES Act that
may be dispersed to ND schools.
McNeff is on the committee to deter-
mine how the money will be given to
the schools.
Mrs. Hauck reviewed the financial
report. Each fund was reviewed.
State aid revenue has increased be-
cause the district is now reliant on
the transition minimum due to the in-
crease in past Wolford students.
The district was notified last week
that the USDA has extended the
free breakfast and lunch program
with the Summer Food Service Pro-
gram through December 31, 2020 or
until funds run out. This means all
students in preschool through grade
12 will receive free breakfast and
lunch. The district is still requesting
that families fill out the free/reduced
meal form since their status would
then take effect beginning in January
2021. Also, the student count for
free/reduced meals affects many
funding amounts for the district in-
cluding Title money from the Federal
Government.
Items in the consent agenda were
considered. Motion by Johnson to
approve the Consent Agenda with a
word change to the minutes with
Wednesday changing to Thursday.
Second by Heilman. Included in the
consent agenda were the August 11,
2020 Board Meeting Minutes, the
August Board Bills, the August
Board bills detail, and the August
Financial Reports. All voting yes,
motion carried.
The first reading for the new super-
intendent evaluation procedure was
held. The survey portion will contin-
ue. There will be a formative as-
sessment completed by the board in
November using supporting docu-
mentation from the survey. There
will be a summative assessment in
March. The school board president
will handle the communication for
the evaluation. Motion by Blessum
to approve the first reading. Second
by Livedalen. All voting yes, motion
carried.
The NDSBA conducted a policy re-
view for the school district. Of the
124 policies, about 117 need
changes or actions to correct them.
McNeff would like a small committee
to review the recommended
changes and the final changes
would be brought to the board for
approval. Blessum and Heilman
agreed to be on the committee.
The board reviewed the Annual
Compliance Report stating the dis-
trict is in compliance with statutory
requirements. Motion by Heilman to
approve the Annual Compliance Re-
port. Second by Johnson. All voting
yes, motion carried.
The NDSBA Convention will be held
virtually this year. They are only
offering the New Member Seminar
and School Law Seminar this year.
The School Law Seminar will be
held in 1-1.5 hour sessions over the
course of five days, October 26-30.
Each staff registration is $100 with
the board members being free with a
staff registration. Hauck will register
all board members and they can at-
tend sessions as they are able.
The next regular board meeting will
be Tuesday, October 13, 2020 at

Rugby Public School District #5,
Board of Education – Policy Com-
mittee, held a meeting Thursday,
September 24, 2020 at 7:00 AM in
Dr. McNeff’s office at Rugby High
School.
Committee members present were
Kris Blessum, Brenda Heilman, Mike
McNeff, and Dawn Hauck.
The Committee reviewed the poli-
cies that NDSBA recommended to
rescind. Dr. McNeff discussed that
he would rather not rescind the
Reduction in Force policy as that fits
our district better than the recom-
mended policy. NDSBA recom-
mended that the handbooks be tak-
en out of policy and maintained in a
separate area.
The Committee reviewed NDSBA’s
recommendations for required board
policies. Some policies were
changed slightly, but most policies
were not changed. A policy regard-
ing Extra-Curricular Participation Re-
quirements was tabled until more
discussion is held with principals
and the athletic director.
The adjusted policies will be brought
to the October 13, 2020 board meet-
ing.
The next policy committee meeting
will be held on October 1, 2020, at
7:00 AM.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:45

work should be greatly improved
with this upgrade. Motion by
Livedalen to accept the bid. Second
by Johnson. All voting yes, motion

viewed the FY21 Final Budget. A

that NDSBA recommended to adopt.
Dr. McNeff discussed that he would
rather not adopt the Reduction in
Force policy as our current policy fits
our district better than the recom-
mended one. The curriculum policy
will also not be recommended for
adoption.
The Committee reviewed NDSBA’s
recommendations for policy pro-
cedures. Some policies were
changed slightly, but most policies
were not changed. The committee
recommended a handout be created
for audience members regarding au-
dience participation during the
school board meetings.
The adjusted policies will be brought
to the October 13, 2020 board meet-
ing.
There will be another policy com-
mittee meeting after the board meet-
ing.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:35
AM.

NOTICE
Rugby Public School District #5,
Board of Education, held a special
board meeting Wednesday, October
7, 2020, at 7:00 AM in the Library at
Rugby High School.
The purpose of the special meeting
was to provide an update on close
contacts and Face Coverings and to
update fan expectations for activi-
ties.
Board members present were Kris
Blessum, Dustin Hager, Carlie John-
son, Brenda Heilman, and Shane
Livedalen.
Also present were Michael McNeff,
Jason Gullickson, Jared Blikre, and
Dawn Hauck.
Chairman Hager called the meeting
to order at 7:00 AM.
Motion by Johnson to approve the
agenda. Second by Livedalen. All
voting yes, motion carried.
On October 1, 2020, Governor Bur-
gum announced that if two people
are within six feet of one another in
the K-12 setting, both are wearing
face coverings, and one comes
down with COVID-19, the other par-
ty is not required to quarantine due
to the face coverings. Administration
is wondering if a continual mask
mandate would be something the
board would like to adopt with this
new state policy. The students and
staff have been doing very well at
wearing their masks in the hallways,
but the classrooms are harder to
monitor and to keep six feet apart.
Many of the board members felt that
a mask mandate would be difficult
with enforcement and also hard for
the students. At the lower elementa-
ry level, students need to see mouth
movement and expressions to learn.
The board recommended that the
current policy be re-affirmed and
possibly re-educated and enforced.
Hager recommended information be
sent home to parents as well.
Dr. McNeff reviewed recommended
changes to the fan expectations at
indoor activities. After discussion, it
is recommended that a voucher sys-
tem be used for admittance into ac-
tivities. There will be 250 vouchers
available for home teams, with each
athlete given 4 vouchers. Students
in grades K-12 would be able to re-
ceive vouchers, however students in
grades K-6 must be accompanied by
an adult. Staff will be allowed
vouchers after students. If any
vouchers remain, the public will be
allowed to purchase them. The
away team will be given 100 vouch-
ers.
Masks will be required whenever a
fan leaves their seat and whenever
they are not socially distanced. This
will be enforced with reminders over
the PA system. Those that refuse to
be in compliance will no longer be
allowed to obtain a voucher. Motion
by Livedalen to approve the recom-
mended fan expectation changes.
Second by Johnson. All voting yes,
motion carried.
It was recommended to put mes-
sages on the vouchers regarding
mask requirements.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:54
AM.
