Board Update
February 8, 2019
Nearly a Full Week
We almost got a full week of school in this week! To say the weather has been a bit bizarre this week would be an understatement. Overall, we have had a pretty good week and things seemed to settle into what normal looks like in the school world. I personally spent a lot of my time in a number of meetings and continue to learn a lot and feel very comfortable in my new role. We have a lot of work to do but I can confidently say the state of our school corporation is very healthy.
Please take time to read the important information below. As always, if you have any questions do not hesitate to pick up the phone or shoot me an email.

Board Meeting
Financial Update
After that meeting, I felt comfortable meeting with Brad and Blake and we were able to discuss the projects we hope to get done this summer. I will be compiling a list and plan to share that with you soon.
Boys Basketball Update
Earlier in the week I shared with you some information concerning our boys basketball program. I need to inform you that due to his actions we decided to dismiss the varsity assistant, Nate Cline. Coach Davison also suspended a player for tonight's game. I am comfortable with and support the decisions made by Mr.Thornburg and Coach Davison.
You need to be aware that the parents of the boy that was suspended met with Coach Davison, Mr. Thornburg and myself and expressed their displeasure with consequences handed out to their son.
Press Box Update
All we have is a drawing from Ansonia Lumber and a materials list to go by. We do not have drawings to go out to bid and after some research I have found that we are not going to cross the $50,000 threshold and obtaining 3 bids is not necessary. In my opinion, this has went on long enough and we need to award the job to Mangas construction and move forward. I believe we learned a lot about how to do business in the future and I can assure you that Brad and I agree that we will do things differently the next time.
