Note: The board discussed a potential JROTC program but did not launch it after administration reported three student signups (below the board’s previously established threshold of 10). Administration will coordinate with county commissioners about the $150,000 in start-up funds set aside by the county.
Ending: Several votes were unanimous. The board asked administration to return with additional vendor documentation and alternative bond/sinking-fund scenarios before making major capital-financing decisions.
