MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This memorandum of understanding is made between the Sioux Falls School District 49-5, hereinafter referred to as “SFSD,” and the West Central School District 49-7, hereinafter referred to as “WCSD.”
WITNESSETH:
Whereas, both districts received a Petition of Owners for Minor Boundary Change of School Districts on April 22, 2014 describing property requested to be moved from WCSD to SFSD, hereinafter referred to as the “Subject Property;”
Whereas, both districts seek to resolve the issue in a manner that meets the needs of the property owners in addition to each school district;
Whereas, WCSD seeks to retain the property involved in the petition that is zoned commercial;
Whereas, WCSD seeks to temporarily retain a portion of the capital outlay revenues received from the residential property;
Whereas, the Subject Property did not have commercial property properly identified via a plat versus certain residential property;
Whereas, SDCL §13-6-86 requires resolutions for minor boundary changes to include a correct description of the area proposed for detachment and annexation;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

vii. The final payment is for 10% of the taxes and will be in 2035.

B. Within five (5) days of passing the Resolution SFSD will forward the resolution to WCSD.

Action 37047
Molly Satter, Supervisor of Health Services, presented a report on the Avera e-Care Nurse Pilot Program (see MRF #16598), as follows:
A new pilot program in partnership with Avera Health will provide students with access to an additional health expert when the school nurse is not scheduled to be in the building. The Avera eCare School Nurse Pilot seeks to connect students to a school nurse virtually through technology and specialized equipment. The project will allow an Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP) to connect with a school nurse via computer. During this interaction, the nurse will advise the UAP on steps to take that will assist the nurse in the assessment of the student, as well as advise on interventions to help.
The current average nurse to student ratio in the Sioux Falls School District is 1:1190, though the national recommendation is 1:750. Many nurses serve more than one building, and this partnership would assist the UAP in each school to better serve students with injuries or medical issues as they arise.
Following general discussion, a motion was made by Todd Thoelke and seconded by Kate Parker, five (5) votes “yes” on roll call, authorizing the President and Business Manager to enter into and execute a memorandum of understanding, for and on behalf of the District, with Avera Health for the eCare School Nurse Pilot project (see Contract 14-133;MS.)
