Board members briefed the board on a volunteer-led roof repair planned for the seed vault building at McDonald Valley High School and described donated materials and volunteer labor.

An administrator explained they had sought donations for roofing materials and obtained quotes. One quote for materials was "about $4,800," while another estimate including extra materials was reported as "just over $5,100" to avoid running short during volunteer work. The board thanked Hammond Lumber for discounting material costs (a $750 contribution cited), Broadcoak Builders for donating labor, and Restoration Resources for contributing nearly $1,000 of materials support if needed.

Speakers emphasized the seed vault as a point of pride and noted the risks of moving seeds (concerns about temperature and storage) if the building were not protected. Volunteers are scheduled to begin work early the next morning; board members explained there was no formal board action required for the repairs and that volunteers will sign waivers.

Administrators asked that the volunteer group be invited to a future meeting (December 4) for formal thanks. The board discussed logistics including trim replacement and weatherproofing; no budget reallocation was recorded during the meeting.
