At the regular June 23rd meeting of the Mountain View school board, the public attendance was fairly low.  None of these spoke during the first hearing of visitors. 

The 2013-2014 General Fund Budget was approved, in the amount of $20,192,242.68 based on 36.8290 mills for real estate tax, $5.00 per capita tax under act 511, $5.00 per capita tax under Section 679 of the Public School Code, Occupational Assessment Tax at 100 mils, 1% Earned Income Tax under Act 511, and 1% real estate transfer tax.  The motion was then made to set the millage rate for 2014-2015 at 36.829 mills. 

The Elk Lake school board meeting was held first on June 26, an evening when both of the district’s board meetings were scheduled.

During the correspondence portion of the meeting, a number of letters of resignation were read, including that of Mrs. Heed. Mrs. Heed included in her resignation her role of substitute caller. Dr. Cuomo motioned that all of the resignations be accepted with regret, stating that he wanted to publicly thank them all for their work for the district. Mrs. Teel added that she personally wanted to thank Mrs. Heed for what she had done, speaking very highly of her. Dr. Davis spoke up, saying that she had the privilege to speak of Laurie Ellis, a paraprofessional in food services. They were happy, she related, to be able to say that she was the recipient of the first outstanding Instructional Support Paraprofessional Educator of the Year award. Ms. Ellis didn’t wish to speak that night, but had agreed to come and bring her trophy. Dr. Davis indicated her in the crowd, congratulating her publicly and asking that others do the same.
