REPORTS TO THE BOARD
There were no questions about the Financial/Enrollment report from the Board.
SUPERINTENDENT REPORT
Michael Green said school got out on Friday and staff began the movement throughout the buildings. He hired 9 summer custodian assistants. Demolition work to the buildings will begin soon, and the move will continue through August. The State budget has still not been approved. If the budget isn’t approved there could be shutdowns of State agencies. Stacy Brown said that if this occurs our June apportionment will be impacted; but, they would make it up in July. We don’t have to shut down. Matt Donald asked if the boil order at Yale School had been lifted. Michael said that the Health Department cleared Yale’s water the last Thursday before school was out. He said the fix wasn’t an outrageous expense.
