LOCAL CONTRACTORS HELP KEEP OUR PROJECTS ON TRACK 

Herk Excavating and Sattelight Electric are two of our local contractors working on the various construction projects.  Both of these companies are doing an outstanding job. Their crews have put in extra time, they treat the project like it was their own home, and take pride in everything they do.  These businesses have gone above and beyond, staying late and working weekends, if necessary, to make sure the job is done well.  We are very happy and proud to have them as part of this project.  Please visit our facility Facebook page for updates on the project.  This will allow you to see update pictures of the project as it moves forward. 

TREASURER SEARCH

The Board of Education has been working extremely hard looking for a suitable replacement for our outgoing Treasurer.  There have been a number of outstanding candidates, and the Board has met on several nights to insure that they are listening and doing their best to find a candidate that will fit in well with our community. 

SALE OF ADMINISTRATION OFFICE

You may already know that the Administration office was sold to Open Door Church.  This was part of the Reinvention Plan that was conceived in 2009.  It has been our intention to consolidate facilities and reduce operational costs.   We feel very fortunate that we have been able to sell our buildings to organizations that will repurpose them for the benefit of the community.  I encourage you to call me if you have any thoughts or concerns regarding the sale of these properties. 

INVENTORY REDUCTION

As a result of our continuous consolidation efforts, we will be offering miscellaneous furniture and equipment to our community on a date in the very near future.  Keep watching our website and Facebook page for announcements.  These items have reached their useful life in our school district and will no longer fit into our classrooms or offices.  Many of the items may be of value for home or small business use and we would like to see them returned to the community.
