Construction is underway. We have prioritized to completing backstops, softball dugouts, and new chain link fencing in areas of need.  At this time we are not going to erect new outfield walls.  The new baseball coach decided he would like to skin the baselines. So that project was done in house.  Wayne will provide other facility updates.

Scott and I have discussed we need to set a date to have a special meeting in August to review the expenditures/revenues.  This will be a budget workshop meeting.  Please bring your calendars and dates available or definitely not available to the meeting so we can set a firm date and time.

At this time I would like for the Board to review current code and possible revisions requested.  This is not an action item.  I wanted the board to review and provide input.  Principals have changed a few items in the code but very slightly.  Secondary campuses are exactly the same with minor differences in Elementary.  These changes and revisions are recommendations by the campus Principals and Assistant Principal.

Attached is policy language, we must adopt this policy by August 1.  I have downloaded regulation recommendations from TASB and we will review these as an administrative team to ensure proper identification and implementation of the policy.

Jana Rushing has decided to resign from the board.  I did not contact everyone individually because I was unable to visit with her personally by phone.  I will present the letter to the board and a discussion needs to take place to appoint or wait until the next election.  If we appoint this will be a 1 year term until the next election in May.

As of today, we have offered contracts to Jeffery Settle as new Band Director.  (John Marsh resigned because of another offer closer to his home.)  Charlie Bates and HS ELA.  We are currently looking for a SPED life skill teacher for the HS campus.  I will explain this possible additional position.

Mr. John Marsh, Band Director has resigned.  We interviewed again and have hired Jeffery Settle as of Thursday June 28. We had interviewed him previously and he was our #2 candidate.  We have also hired Charlie Bates for the HS ELA position.  We are interviewing for a HS SPED (lifeskills) teacher.  As of this date we have not hired.

It is time for a team building session again.  Please note, if we seat an new member by appointment we need to set a date into September or October.
