Discussion:  The Osmond Board of Education addressed our Americanism Committee about interlocal agreements including JH football, FFA and wrestling. Mr. Conn said he spoke with the Bloomfield Athletic Director and their future numbers in JH football will be low also. Discussion was held on how we need to extend a hand and help out other schools when they need it as we may need help in the future as well. Mark Dawson and Otto Woockman feel we should include the Bloomfield school in the discussion of Osmond's future needs as we have an existing cooperation with Bloomfield at this time in JH Football. The Board feels the 3 schools should sit down together and address the future needs of each school and how each school can help one another with cooperatives. The Board feels we should maintain existing relationships and extend future relationships out for situational needs.

Discussion:  Regarding Rule 10, Mr. Hoesing explained to the Board he can write for an exemption since the High School will not meet their required hours because of the 2 snow days last week. Mr. Hoesing explained that because the students need to be out of the building by May 10th, there are no available Saturdays to have school to make up the time because of Easter and Conference Track. The Board agreed it would in our best interest to apply for the exemption with the NDE.
There will be a special Board meeting for Building and Grounds on Thursday, April 25th at 6:30pm.
