HURON — The Huron School Board of Education held its regular bi-weekly meeting, Monday evening in the Instructional Planning Center.
In reports to the board, an audit report for the 2016-17 school year was given by a representative from ELO CPA LLC, Rebecca Odegaar, who was the head auditor in charge of the project.
“The Huron School District complied in all material respects with the types of compliance requirements,” said Odegaar. “We had no material weaknesses noted. Everything was presented as it should have been.”
Superintendent Terry Nebelsick talked about a program that is being implemented with the Department of Education, designed to work toward drop-out prevention, plus give students more skills and opportunities for college experience, internships and success.
“I serve on a committee that’s working with the Department of Education. We are talking about possible different badges that people could earn and that has morphed now into a program that’s going to the Governor’s desk for review,” explained Nebelsick. “It will be modeled after the teacher certification, where teachers get their certificate and then a list of endorsements. There will be a High School Diploma, that everyone has to earn, which will be approved by the ESSA nationally, then in addition to that there will be general post preparatory endorsements.”
