17) Discuss Interest and Consider/Take Action for Superintendent Authorization to Negotiate for the Purchase of Real Property on College Street 
Description:
Jim Baird has contacted the Superintendent about the potential sale of his home on College Street.  He wanted the school district to have first chance on the property.  The property is located just West of the current daycare, and includes a home.  This same area has future plans of possibly becoming parking for the Big Sandy ISD.
Subject:
18) Discuss/Take Action on additional Fund Balance Authorization for New Elementary Playground 
Description:
The bid for the Elementary Playground came in at $70,975.  This is just over the $70,000 that was previously authorized for the project.  I recommend that we use Child's Play for the project.  Also, we are responsible for the demolition of the existing playground and prep work for the area for the new playground.  I feel that an additional $10,000 would be well above the cost of these additional items, however, I'd like to have enough in the fund balance authorization to complete the project without having to come back to the Board for additional funds.  This, in turn, would cause a timeline challenge, where we could possibly not be able to complete the new playground before the start of the 2018-2019 school year.
