REPORTS TO THE BOARD

Asha Riley discussed the National Board Cohort with the Board.

Paul Huddleston was not present to answer Jim Bay's question regarding the Hall of Fame and the Ring of Honor. Michael Green said that the Hall of Fame was at the High School; but he did not know about the Ring of Honor.

SUPERINTENDENT REPORT

Michael Green reported that preliminary enrollment numbers showed that the District is about 65 students over budget; 14 are from Kindergarten. The FTE is about 2069.

School started well. Sadly one teacher broke his neck on Labor Day weekend, but was  surprisingly back at school today. Michael was able to observe new teachers in the classrooms and said he was very impressed with what he observed. This morning was the annual staff breakfast. Janice Watts and Jim Bays attended.

CAPITAL FACILITIES UPDATE

Michael gave an update of the planning occurring for the HS Project. He showed the Board site illustrations of the work being discussed. One illustration was from the Civil Engineers for the site layout and usage and showed the design features that allow water to flow from the property. He said a lot of work must be done for that. Phase one of the project will hopefully go to bid this winter. This will be for pre-loading the site and having seismic treatments installed. He showed the Board design illustrations that are still a work in progress.
