Board members reported on the meetings they had attended since the last meeting.
During Dr. Graves Superintendent report, he mentioned that the State of SD as a part of their
fiscal budget were allotting 5 million dollars to MTC for the building of the Agricultural building
on campus. Also, MTC was applying for the prestigious ASPEN award. Four years ago, MTC was
in the top 5 in the country. During the Governor Noem’s budget address, she indicated that she
would be providing a 6% increase in education funding. There was no school on Friday May
10th and this day will not be made up. Dr. Graves explained that he does not call school on/off
for Mitchell Christian as they have told him that they want to make that decision on their own.
Dr. Graves does for Mitchell Schools, Mitchell Tech and John Paul Catholic schools as they have
indicated that they will do whatever the public schools do.
During public commentary, Debra Emme asked the school board to look at the school protocols
that limit access to schools only to school employees and students. Barbara Stadler told the
school board that she is supportive of Governor Noem drafting legislation that if passed would
require schools to set aside a minute of prayer to start the school day.

 MITCHELL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 17-2
January 10, 2022
School Board Meeting
Agenda Item

Subject: Board Consideration to Approve Bid for MTC Used Digger Derrick Truck

From: Joseph Graves, Superintendent of Schools

Nature of action requested:

Board Action X
Board Information
Scheduled report

Description of the item (including nature of the problem, program covered, impact, board
action desired, etc.)

Mitchell Technical College, last fall, determined that its powerline program was in need of
digger derrick truck and a bucket truck and so issued RFPs for both. At the time, the Board
approved a successful bidder but that bidder was unable to fulfill the contract because of a
lack of inventory, an unfortunately common malady these days.

As a result, MTC issued a new RFP for both vehicles and opened bids on January 5, 2022.

One bid was received for the digger derrick truck, from Custom Truck One Source of Canton,
OH. The bid is $111,985 for a 2013 International 4300 with a Terex Commander 4047
digger derrick. As this bid met specifications and was within the budgetary expectations, I
hereby recommend that we accept this bid. (Funding will come from one-time state
equipment dollars and Perkins funds.)

No bids were received for the used bucket truck. Therefore, we will be pursuing competitive
quotes for a used bucket truck and, once those are received, we will bring a recommendation
to the Board for that purchase at a later board meeting.

Individual(s) who will attend the board meeting and may speak to the item:

Jared Hofer, Dean of Financial Operations, Mitchell Technical College

Mark Wilson, President, Mitchell Technical College
Joseph Graves, Superintendent of Schools

I will be able to review the item further at the school board meeting, if requested:

School Board Meeting
Agenda Item

Subject: Board Consideration to Set Date for Joint County/School Election for June 7, 2022

From: Joseph Graves, Superintendent of Schools

Nature of action requested:

Board Action X
Board Information
Scheduled report

Description of the item (including nature of the problem, program covered, impact, board
action desired, etc.)

Each year, the Board is responsible for setting the election for those school board seats
which have either exhausted the three-year term or are, for some other reason, vacant. For
about the last 15 years, we have operated our elections with the City of Mitchell or Davison
Country or both, in order to share, and thereby reduce, costs and to enhance voter turnout.

Thus, we would hold the election with Davison County and with their officials in charge of the
balloting process, on Tuesday, June 7, 2022. Seats currently held by incumbents Kevin
Kenkel and Deb Olson will be up for election for school board.

I recommend approval of holding the election jointly with Davison County on June 7, 2022.
(The City has no election this year.)

Individual(s) who will attend the board meeting and speak to the item:

Steve Culhane, Business Manager

Subject: Board Consideration to Offer New Three-Year Contract to Joseph Graves as

Superintendent of Schools

From: Joseph Graves

Nature of action requested:

Board Action X
Board Information
Scheduled report

Description of the item (including nature of the problem, program covered, impact, board
action desired, etc.)

It has been the board’s traditional stance to make a decision on the superintendent’s contract
‘extension’ following the evaluation conference. Typically, this has been done without
consideration of compensation, a decision made later when administration compensation is
determined by the board later in the spring.

If the Board wishes to continue this practice, it may do so at this time through board motion
and vote.

Individual(s) who will attend the board meeting and may speak to the item:

Deb Olson, Board President

Joseph Graves, Superintendent of Schools
Steve Culhane, Business Manager
