Apparently, that type of help is not covered by the school district's MSBA dues. The Board is scheduled to approve the payment of $475 for "MSBA Self-Evaluation Surveys" when it meets Tuesday night.
The MSBA met with the board during a special session and the board left that meeting feeling it needed to communicate better with the public.
Many members of the public could have offered the board members that advice and saved the taxpayers $475.
Some other fun expenditures the board is scheduled to approve:
-$32.22 for Food for the Coaches (Teaching/Learning Coaches) Retreat
-$40 for kaleidoscopes for the Coaches Retreat.
-$910 for Kiwanis International dues
-$245 to Burrito Concepts for food for the Bright Futures Leadership Academy
-$137.95 to the Red Onion Cafe for meal for Board of Education meeting
-$388.45 for a baked potato salad bar for a Board of Education work session
-$1,000 to Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce for Leadership Joplin
--$5,418.92 to Target for "various Christmas needs" for Bright Futures
-$2,528.52 to Wal-Mart for "various Christmas needs" for Bright Futures

That's almost 8,000 for "various Christmas needs". Who "needs" that much Christmas stuff? Especially when you're already running in the red? Kind of ridiculous if you ask me!
Almost $400 for baked potatoes?????Take a sack lunch.
Potatoes are usually a cheaper item. What type of toppings cost almost $400?
