Oath of Office/New Board Member: Dr. Mitchell Stone administered the oath of office to John Cope, newly appointed board member.
Reports: Board Report: Osmotherly and Stone informed the board about the restructure of the septic system and the changes that were recently made to the system. The restructure was the most affordable and follows state regulations. The company also developed a schematic of the system for future accessibility.
Administrators Report: Dr. Stone informed the board about the training for Impact Aid and the changes in the application process. Dates for NAFIS are September 22 – 25 and arrangements will be made for travel for Osmotherly, Stone, Sword, and tentatively Tlustos.
To move forward on the development of the new building, a Special Board Meeting will be set for the end of August, tentatively August 26 at 5 p.m., to meet with the architecture and the banker. Dr. Stone will have the students from the art class design and paint ‘In God We Trust’ in the entrance of the school to be in compliance with state law. Dr. Stone informed the board of some of the staffing changes to include the resignation of the newly hired English teacher and the music teacher, Myers, will be deployed with the National Guard the entire school year. Dr. Stone reported that the annual report was submitted and accepted by the state on July 23. The IDEA grant has been approved for this fiscal year. He also shared the results of the summer program and the need to reorganize the program for next year. As school starts, there is a need to increase the security on the buses. Having an additional person to monitor the trip would be ideal, but cameras need to be installed if a person is not available.
Financials: Sword presented claims and monthly financial reports. Her Many Horses moved and Cope seconded to accept the financial reports and claims as presented.
