Superintendent reports strong dual-credit participation; board approves $98,800 emergency boiler purchase
Summary
Superintendent and board highlighted students completing over 1,500 college credit hours in a semester and confirmed an emergency boiler replacement for the competition gym at a total installed cost of $98,800.
In the superintendent's report, administration said 3,066 students participated in at least one dual-credit course in the fall semester, accounting for 1,544 college course completions with a 94 percent pass rate. "So that's over 1,500 college hours, that our students were able to complete this past semester with a 94 percent, passing rate," the superintendent said, praising students, families and staff.
The superintendent also reported a facilities emergency: the competition gym boiler failed after attempts to 'limp it along,' and administration received four bids for replacement. "Install and everything was $98,800," the superintendent said, noting the cost exceeded an administrative limit but qualifies as an emergency exception under board policy for student safety; board members acknowledged the need and the item was processed consistent with policy.
