  3. Superintendent's Report

Minutes

  1. Mrs. Reed, Mrs. Fennewald and Mrs. McPherran gave a report on 6th Grade Outdoor Education.  There have been some concerns with Camp Nuhop not being able to provide staff during the overnight stays for the last four years.  High school students have been used as volunteers to chaperone cabins.  It should be noted that our teaching staff are present and do stay overnight as well.  Concerns were having high school students as chaperones and if they are properly trained.  Mrs. Tucker suggested that possibly the high school student volunteer chaperones obtain some training like 4-H chaperones are required to obtain, (i.e.:  child abuse and CPR training).  The Board and administration thought this could be an achievable goal.  The 6th grade team will create a new process to insure that we obtain our best qualified student volunteers.
  2. Mrs. Barker gave an update on Federal Programs.  Board members were presented a spreadsheet with a budget narrative outlining how the funds were dispensed.
  3. Mr. Grubbs gave a report on summer projects:  boilers are in and we are waiting on controls to finish project, elementary flooring - all old flooring has been removed 30-40% of install complete with expectations of completion week of July 22, LED lighting is all complete, press box is under construction and is about 50% complete, building cleaning a little behind due to current projects, new radios are in and in place for use, 2-buses were sold on Gov.Deals receiving a better return over trade-in, sidewalk joints at elementary school have been caulked and resealed, middle school windows and doors have been caulked, asphalt project is complete, new copiers are installed, two fax lines will be eliminated-faxing will now be done as e-Fax, working with NEONet, middle school office carpet is complete.  Mr. Grubbs mentioned that overall the campus and property appearance is coming along fabulously.  Mr. Grubbs mentioned and invited the board to attend opening day on August 15th where speaker, Mark Perna will be presenting to staff and invited other local leaders on what employers need and how we can prepare our students for the future, as Mark is the author of the number one best seller "Answering Why".
