Summary
Superintendent Drew Billeter told the Southwest Public Schools board the district will move to a digital newsletter, the elementary school will participate in the Fresh Fruits and Vegetables program, the district applied for a grant for a serving top, and received a Twin Valley Public Power grant for LED lighting.
Superintendent Drew Billeter reported several operational updates to the Southwest Public Schools Board of Education on Aug. 12.
Billeter said the district is transitioning to a digital newsletter and will reduce the number of mailed paper copies. He announced the elementary school will participate in the Fresh Fruits and Vegetables program to expand students' access to produce. The superintendent also said the district is applying for a grant to obtain a new serving top for the elementary kitchen and that the district received a grant from Twin Valley Public Power to replace existing light bulbs with energy-efficient LED lighting; the transcript does not state grant amounts or implementation timelines.
Billeter noted two productive staff workdays and said administrators are preparing for students' return to the building.
The board discussed these informational items but no votes or formal actions tied to the announced grants or program participation are recorded in the meeting transcript.
