The school
board meeting has moved back to Monday, May 8th but will start at
4:00pm in the HS Computer Lab.
FFA
Officer Applications are due!
The Agenda
for Monday, May 8th can be found on our Google Drive
Be sure to
read the public notice that was blogged earlier this week!
At this meeting, there will be a
number of items discussed. However, the board would like to highlight 2 main items.
First, the preschool program at the school is entertaining some scheduling changes with regard to attendance. Also being discussed is the options of charging for preschool attendance. The goal is to make a firm decision on the future of the preschool program.
The second item of interest is a resolution to seek an opt out in the amount of $600,000 to begin at the end of the current opt out. The board wants to make sure all patrons are aware that seeking this opt out will NOT increase their taxes. To accomplish this goal, the board will use capital outlay funds to offset the increase, thus not affecting taxes.
The board would like all interested patrons to attend this meeting and express thoughts, ideas, and concerns during the meeting on these issues. In addition to the regularly scheduled meeting, the school board has set a special, informative meeting to provide further understanding to interested patrons, scheduled for Thursday, May 18th at 7:00 pm at the school.
