K-8 Principal Report
Discussion:
My apologies for not being in attendance for tonight’s meeting. Below is my principals report. The school year is off and running. At the Junior High we have 12 volleyball players and 10 football players participating. We had our first home game this past Thursday which included a Book Fair & Open House. Special thanks to the Legion for hosting a watermelon feed as well that night. At the elementary school we have begun to get in a routine. We have had some sad times to get through as a staff, but everyone is staying positive and I just want to thank all those that have taken on and helped out in filling voids. |

Reports of Board Members
Discussion:
Mr. Whitney asked about the status of Bus #17. The report from the individual that was contacted to work on it, said it was in need of a new ECU. The reported delivery date of that was said to be anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months. Mr. Tharman had asked that they pursue looking for a good, used one, rather than waiting for the new one as it was a needed vehicle. Mr. Tharman said he plans to follow up with the individual tomorrow.
