Discussion:
We need to consider adjusting our Substitute Teacher rate. Dr. Wiseman recommended $150-160 and stated that the budget would allow for these increases. There have been problems getting substitute teachers to show up as they may be taking other substitute jobs at area schools that are paying more. The Board also discussed changing activity admission prices. The price changes will line up with the rest of the conference.

Discussion:
Dr. Wiseman stated that currently we are under our spending for the year, and we will have a healthy balance at the end of the budget year. The money that is left at the end of the year will be put into depreciation for new vehicles that are needed very soon. It would be in the school's best interest to get on a rotation for replacing vehicles. Some money will also be put into the QCPUF Fund for fixing areas of safety concern.
