Mr. Adams, has a proposal to go on a trip to Shreveport to the Bodies Revealed exhibit.  This is an out of state trip so board action is needed.  He will be here to answer questions as well.  It sounds really exciting but at the same time, I belive parents need to be informed exactly what will be on display.

Staff are voting on the new proposed calendar.  If they still choose the OFYP calendar no action is needed.  If they choose the new extended day calendar an amendment will be needed to the previous calendar.

Over 236 school have already passed this resolution.  As you read the resolution, you will see it is asking the sate to begin considering the "New Vision of Texas Public School".  Passing this resolution means our school is on track to look at accountability as a year long issue instead of 1 test 1 day determining how our school is performing.

We are still waiting on bids for the baseball and softball field.  I have asked for those by Tuesday afternoon so I would have them for the meeting.  Also, I have bids for scoreboards for the softball, baseball and JH gym.  I have a bid for adding 1 more camera to each school bus.

We have taken the Wildcat sign off Wildcat and 80.  In doing so we have asked some more questions and even have been provided a picture of the sign in black and white but have been instructed of the original colors.  One plan, is to repaint the sign to its original state on one side then add all the championship information on the other side.  We are definately open to ideas.

It is time to make our final decision on SFE contract for the 2012-2013 school year.  While I have some concerns, I still really believe our food quality has increased.  I will be prepared to answer questions and or concerns (for which I am qualified to answer) for the board to make the best decison for the district.

These lists will be available at the meeting.

As of this time Sandra Cooksey will be moved to the JH/HS campus.
