10.3. Review current Exeter-Milligan coop and activities
Discussion:
Mr. Segner reviewed the current activities and programs we share with Exeter-Milligan P.S. He suggested we look at them, and discuss how they align with our board goals. Mr. Segner was very disappointed in the outcome of the co-op discussions. He still believes it's the best thing for the future of both the schools. Our football teams are co-oping at the start of a new two-year term, so we are committed for 20-21 and 21-22 school years. Junior high teams can be dissolved at any time. Friend holds the teaching contract for the Ag teaching position, while Exeter-Milligan holds the contract for the shared Science teacher. Board members agreed they still want to do what's best for our students and community, and encourage the patrons to continue to share their thoughts. They want to continue to build on all the positives we have created with E-M.
