Board hears maintenance report; waterline break and nonpotable supply at Mist school prompt grant pursuit
Summary
Board discussed a broken waterline affecting the football field and a non‑potable water supply at the Mist site; staff said repairs will start Monday and the district will explore a grant opportunity for full system replacement in the August cycle.
During the maintenance report, district staff told the board that a broken waterline is causing brown spots on the football field and that a separate potable‑water problem at the Mist site means water there is not safe to drink. Maintenance staff said work to repair the line would begin Monday and described options for testing and replacement planning.
A board member noted the district could pursue a grant that would fund total replacement of a small school water system; the superintendent said the next application cycle is in August and agreed to share the grant information with staff. Maintenance staff confirmed they had not yet scheduled the full testing and that Darla and Debbie would meet to develop a plan. The board requested updates at the August meeting.
Staff also reviewed enrollment at Mist (total enrollment reported as 42 students, 19 in K–2 and 23 in grades 3–5), which factors into decisions about operating and capital priorities at smaller sites.
