We have recieved and accepted 3 resignations as of today. Owen Carr from the Coop and Michelle Horn, HS Secretary, and Justin Eaton in the Technology Department. At this time I have not hired any replacements for these positions. I would like to discuss the technology position with the board.

This is the position Rhonda Turner had the previous school year. We distributed duties to myself and all other administrators for the 08-09 year. We have survived but it has been extemely stressful on a number of us. I am proposing to regain this position, but restructure job duties and description. I will be prepared to discuss this in more detail at the meeting.

In January we discussed revisiting my contract in June if the Bond passed. We also decided in February on my recommendation to determine salaries for administrators. I placed this on the agenda for us to discuss. I am working on a recommendation of salaries for administrators.

Superintendents report for board information.

From my understanding this is the conference the board generally likes to attend. We need to know who may be attending to begin room reservations in June.

My vacation is planned for July 13 - 17 in Biloxi MS. This is the normal board meeting week. I know, I was not thinking when I booked the condo. Sorry. I would either like to move it forward or back a week. I will do either one.
