Board adds dances, compatibility survey and art show to approved fundraisers; superintendent reports grants and schedule updates
Summary
The board approved new fundraiser activities (student dances, a compatibility survey, and an Art Show with dinner and music), heard that playground installation is paused for cold weather, learned a REAP grant decision is pending, and was told IT-related grant work may bring about $280,000 in equipment/software funding from A+ Solutions' efforts.
Joanne Langworthy moved and Witney Allen seconded a motion to add school student dances (with admission fee), a compatibility survey, and an Art Show with dinner and music to the district’s approved fundraiser list; the motion passed 5-0.
Superintendent Brenda Taylor gave district updates: year-to-date expenditures have increased by $69,650.34 while district revenue is roughly $800,000 lower than at the same time last year, which Taylor attributed in part to later tax collections. She said installation of elementary playground equipment has begun but is paused due to cold weather; she also noted Jan. 15 will be an early-release day, Jan. 17 Homecoming and Jan. 18 the Hall of Fame. Taylor said the district is waiting to hear about a REAP grant and that Max from A+ Solutions has worked to secure roughly $280,000 in grants or discounts for FortiGate equipment and malware/antivirus protections for the district.
The minutes also record employee recognitions for Katie Mckinnon, Tonya Lopp, Eric George and Max. No further actions were recorded on the REAP grant or the playground during this meeting.
