Agenda Item XXII. – DD Calendar
The Developmental Disabilities school calendar closely follows the calendar of Meade School
District.
It was moved by Humiston (ED), seconded by Hansen (RC), and carried to approve the calendar
for the Developmental Disabilities Division as presented.
Agenda Item XXIII. – Transportation Report
The 4th Quarter and Year End Summary Transportation Report was reviewed. The 4th quarter
miles driven and fuel costs were down from the 4th quarter last year. Maintenance costs were up.
The cost per mile was up just over one cent per mile, presumably because the fleet is aging.
Agenda Item XXIV. – Executive Director’s Report.
Joe reviewed the Activity Report for each division. The Foster Grandparent program was
reviewed by CNS staff last week. The AmeriCorps grant is ending but key programs will
continue. In July the autism team, along with USD, provided training for teachers and other
school personnel. Parents of the students also assisted with the training. The transition to
BHSSC Minutes – July 27, 2016
Page 18
Conflict Free Case Management (CFCM) is in progress. About 25 percent of the people
supported have transitioned to CFCM. Project SEARCH will begin its first year in Rapid City
with Regional Health as the host business. The fourth annual Chronic Disease Partners meeting
was held in Mitchell this week. The Tobacco Control Program staff, along with SDSU,
evaluated tobacco policies for almost 350 healthcare clinics and hospitals across the state. The
National Customized Learning Summit was very successful. Nearly 75 educators and
administrators from across the state attended a curriculum redesign event in Harrisburg. TIE
staff will attend and present at the ASBSC/SASD Joint Convention in Sioux Falls in August.
