2. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
Discussion:
Superintendent Watson gave a construction update on Charity Headrick Hitch Elementary. She stated that we ran into a small hiccup last week when an entire wing of cabinets arrived but were the wrong color. We are unsure how long this will take to get corrected and if it will affect the timeline. She also noted that they will be meeting with the playground team and the contractors to better utilize the space and go over some drainage concerns.
Next, Superintendent Watson informed the board members that we have already seen significant improvements in reading and math. This has been a big initiative this year and the teachers and principals have been working really hard to get this implemented. Lastly, Superintendent Watson talked to the board members about State Question 847 which will be on the November ballot. |
