Other: Hutchinson
has been contacted by Josh Drake, director of the nursing home
at Newman. He would like to list Newman Grade School in their
contingency plan as an emergency location to move residents
for temporary refuge. Board consensus was that this is agreeable.
Hutchinson
has received notice that the IASB is accepting resolutions for
consideration.
Hutchinson
was at the Oakland Chamber of Commerce attending a Legislative
Update. Highlights she noted were that it is looking more hopeful
as money is not being sent out as late as anticipated; if schools
were awarded a PK grant last year they will probably get it
this year also; look for nothing to happen on the consolidation
issue during this legislative session.
Board went
into Executive Session at 8:13 PM.
Board returned
to Open Session at 9:55 PM.
Employment
of PreK-6 Principal was tabled.
