The Board discussed our Student/Staff Memorial Policy and felt it was fine as written.
The Weight Room Update is moving forward faster than Wade expected. We are looking at
selling membership to the community for access to the building to use the equipment so in-
terested parties need to contact the school to be put on a list. Wade discussed the comple-
tion of the sidewalk in front of the brick building, thank you to Bill for leveling and spreading
crushed concrete over a lot of the grounds where it was needed, State Glass will be replac-
ing the two locker room exit doors and replacing the mechanism in the entrance to the blue
building, and the Board thought the quote was high from the Engineer from Olson & Associ-
ates so Wade will be checking other options for the road in front of the blue building. Wade
discussed the State Education Conference and when if interested you need to register.
