Sam Cogdill, on behalf of the Dunlap Community Development Corporation, spoke to the board to consider a proposal on sharing an employee with DCDC, the city and the school. The individual would work on high-level tasks, grant writing, website maintenance and promotional work. He requested the school board put together a committee to discuss whether it would be a good fit for the school and gather insight on what the school’s expectations would be. Chaise Mefferd, Campus Care Director, addressed the board regarding research she had done for campus care. We have the lowest rates around and is considering an increase. Many parents agree they are paying for convenience and there is a waiting list at both locations. By increasing rates, we can also increase wages that will help attract and retain more employees to eliminate the waiting list issue.
