Interim Superintendent Dave Fairchild reported at the regular School Board meeting that the school will be $150,000 in the black for this year. Fairchild reported that he is working with incoming Superintendent Matt Martz on the transition that will take effect next month.
Assistant Principal Chuck Borey reported that D’s and F’s continued to be significantly lower this year than in years past. He said that the remedial summer school went well this year.
Fairchild reported that the waxing of floors was ahead of schedule for this years. Work on the new partitions for the upper elementary classes has started. Fairchild reported that the transition to remote wireless will complete by next month.
The school has plans in place for various emergency situations that could come up. They will be distributed to teachers.
In what amounts to a backdoor tax increase by the Federal Government, the school is required to raise lunch prices by five cents this year even though the school lunch account nearly broke even for the previous school year. Fairchild said that the staff had been doing a good job of keeping costs for the school lunch program down.
The school board voted to transfer $40,000 to the capital expenses fund to pay for the technology upgrade.
Board Member Richard Mullock reported that a bill pushed by Representative Casey Guernsey to lower prevailing wage requirements for 3rd and 4th class counties has passed. If signed by the governor, it will mean that schools will not have to pay as much under state prevailing wage laws since it would be compared to other rural counties rather than by big cities.
