Superintendent’s, Principal’s and Board Chairperson’s reports:
1. Chairperson’s report
a. MSMA Conference—Danielle reported that there were a lot of new information—particularly good financial info; Becky did not find a lot of new information except for a risk management workshop and the free pens!; Clarence enjoyed a session on distance learning but much is what we do here also and the pension workshop was very informative explaining concern over funding available due to lending from the pool that has not been replaced and needs to be replenished—other workshops centered on negotiations and consolidation—the governor’s debate was 90% education based on topics such as merit pay, funding, educational goals—Jackman was mentioned specifically by Libby Mitchell as a good reference. Moody seemed to be the most practical and centered ownership with teacher, parent and student.

c. Future administration partnerships – Dr. Davis has met with the new superintendent of Greenville and will seek to have a shared board meeting starting with both superintendents and board chairs—he has also contacted Bingham and had discussions.
d. Update-Revolving Fund—did get awarded for ADA compliant entry doors—specifications need to go to state before it goes to bond bank for funding.
e. Fire Marshall’s Citation – Gymnasium We need to at least do the fireproofing for the part of the wall that abuts the fifth grade classroom and this is to stay in compliance with our annual school approval
