Mrs. Harrelson presented the Superintendent’s Report; Miss Richardson was awarded IRTA grant. She has used the money towards STEM activities. A donation check submitted by Kiddie College and signed by Jill Andrews denoted for Band has been refused and sent back. Jill Andrews has responded that the funds used for donations are separate from the grant funds received by the State of Illinois and this is the first donation that has been refused. ISBE General Council agrees that the donation is ethically questionable. Fiscal year 2019 quarter 1 expenditures are at 24% and revenue at 16%. The lower revenue is because we have not received any Wayne County property tax money. Educator preview of the Illinois report card designation, included in the board packets, shows New Hope as a “Commendable” school. PARCC scores are a factor in determining the “Commendable” rating and a discussion ensued about students not meeting on PARCC and how to improve their performance. Max Weaver has started driving his bus route for the school. Jennifer Harvey has started the process of getting her bus driving permit. She will be a substitute driver for the school. Tim King of King’s Financial will be at next month’s board meeting to discuss selling and buying our own bonds. Staff Christmas party will be attending a Gerry Brooks event in St. Louis. The school’s Christmas program is scheduled for Wednesday, December 12 th . PTO donation fundraiser raised $5,400 and Halloween Masquerade raised $2,500. A discussion of window decals for the front door and being a possible idea for the PTO.
