Re: November School Board Meeting Information
During their monthly meeting, November 11, 2019, the Covington Community School Corporation Board – of – Trustees approved the 2019 – 2020 Collective Bargaining Agreement, providing salary increases to returning, as well as new classroom instructors. The agreement will provide a $2,000 increase for returning teachers and $1,000 for individuals in their first year as a corporation teacher. Further, the school corporation has agreed to cover the 5% health insurance increase during the 2019 – 2020 school year, removing this burden from the employee.
“The board recognizes how fortunate the Covington school – community is to have an outstanding team of educators providing a rigorous instruction on behalf of our children,” CCSC superintendent Kevin Smith stated. “Our teachers work very hard every day to ensure a successful educational growth opportunity for their students. The board appreciates the committed focus the staff brings to ensure educational excellence. Every staff member of the corporation is appreciated for all they do.”
Covington High School Principal, Alison Karrfalt, and Covington Elementary Principal, Michelle Beck, provided the board with information related to student – centered instruction. Members of the board were presented with diverse opportunities to participate in student – centered lesson activities that corporation students are involved with in the classroom. They were also able to view video of actual lesson instruction, with the student – led focus.
The board was presented with two documents under the first reading provision for future consideration. Included was a proposal for the adoption of school calendars for the 2020 – 2021 and the 2021 – 2022 school years. The calendars, which follow the construct of the current year calendar, were identified by a committee of instructors within the corporation. The second document up for consideration is a new policy (401B), focused on further clarifying the process for consideration of individuals interested in serving as volunteers within the school corporation.
The board also heard information and / or conducted business on the following items during the meeting:
The next regularly scheduled meeting of the board of trustees is Monday, December 9, 2019. The meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m.
Thank you for your support of our children and of the Covington School – Community.

Superintendent
