DISCUSSION AND ACTION REGARDING LB272 SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR AND CONTRACT FOR SERVICES: Stelk stated that the committee met with Larry Harnish concerning the changes that LB282 will make and Deputy County Attorney Jerry Janulewicz met with the committee and advised them of the statutory responsibilities that will be transferred to the County Clerk, County Assessor and the County Treasurer. The county board will need to address two issues: . Does the county want to continue to contract for the school administrator duties for the affected school districts #12, #16 and #28 . Does the county want to continue the educational activities such as the county spelling bee and the county fair art program. The County board received a petition requesting to continue the spelling bee and the art program so this will need to be addressed. Mr. Harnish, as the County Superintendent, has served as the school administrator for districts #12, #16 and #28, but under the new state statute, Northwest High School and Wood River High School could serve as the school administrator for the respective grade schools in their districts. Stelk stated that after the committee meeting Mr. Harnish contacted districts #12, #16 and #28 by letter informing them that the services of county superintendent would be terminated but he did not receive any replies from the schools. Mr. Harnish stated that the Nebraska Department of Education wants the Class VI K - 12 Districts to operate like the Class III Districts no matter how many schools are involved. Mr. Harnish stated that District #83 and District #82 meet regularly with Districts #12, #16 and #28 to maintain a good relationship and make sure the students are ready for high school.
