SCHOOL BOARD MEETING SYOPSIS:
Mrs. Whitney has provided the following synopsis of last
night’s School Board meeting.
Toured the new Upland Colony school building. What a beautiful building!!!! A huge thank you to Upland Colony and Mrs.
Knigge for the tour and to the Colony for the coffee and cookies!
Meeting began at 7:10.
Approved the agenda with change to #55 (no oath of office) #57 (delete
Carrie Grosz and replace with Jenni Greenway, delete $8.85 and replace with
$8.25 and delete “at Upland Colony”) and August 13 board minutes with the
deletion of Austerman as being present .
Rachelle Moore and Candace Page-Marten, representing the
senior class, asked the board to grant senior privileges with the usual
requests and consequences for not abiding by the rules. Board thanked them for coming and approved
senior privileges. They also gave
Rachelle and Candace the first parking spot for seniors for coming to the
meeting and representing their class.
Approved the bills and financial report. Discussion was held and approval was given to
the 2013 tax request. This request stays
at the 2012 tax request.
Superintendent Whitney reported that Parent-Teacher
Conferences are scheduled for October 8 from 1:00 – 6:00 p.m., bonus points
will once again be given to MS and HS students if parents contact the teachers
(This can be done also via phone call or e-mail if a parent cannot attend in
person or another time can be arranged that is more convenient.); September 25
the juniors and seniors will be going to Fall Planning Days at DWU with
representatives from post-secondary schools and military present; fall
enrollment of 190 down 9 students from last year; new mobile app up and
running; cameras in busses seem to be working well; and Upland Colony has
decided to not be a part of the school lunch program due to the massive amount
of paperwork and requirements. Further
discussion was held on the new school lunch program requirements and the fact
that the older students are hungry and the younger ones are throwing food
away. The paperwork for Joyce is
overwhelming even though she’s taken some of it from another source. Students, parents, and concerned patrons are
encouraged to write or contact our Congressmen (John Thune, Tim Johnson, and
Kristi Noem) to voice your concerns. If
you need contact information, please call or e-mail Mrs. Whitney.

Standards update; 5/6 BB practice starting with coaches Robin Moody (GBB) and
