Discussion items: Sharing of resources with adjacent district. Hutchinson felt this should not be a political issue and does not want to set a precedent. Young agreed. Means commented that he would like to help everyone but the Board can't always do that. Patchett noted that in the real world it usually works better leaving borders in place. Brown commented that he likes helping people but we have six different districts bordering us. With this family living inside the district and not on a border make this a completely different issue. The Board decided not to take a vote on this issue. Tuition-free attendance at an adjacent district. Chrisman had eight students visit Mr. Smith's classes at Shiloh. Opening the IA program will be good for Chrisman, allowing their students new opportunities and good for Shiloh by increasing classroom size plus tuition income. Patchett questioned if the Chrisman students would be under our Policies when here. Superintendent Acklin will confirm this. He also told the Board that they are still hopeful of sharing a librarian. Only two applications were received, one of which was not certified for the position. Chrisman will also advertise and it is hoped a pool of applicants will result. Meet the Candidates Night. Superintendent Acklin has contacted the Farm Bureau. They ran the program with a moderator, solicited and screened questions before the last school board election. He will contact them about possible dates in March.
