Mrs. Harrelson presented the Superintendent’s Report; Jodi Poole has submitted her letter of resignation as cheer coach but not in time to be accepted at tonight’s board meeting. Fiscal year 2019 comparison of expenditure and revenue reports show the district received more revenue than expended and on budget. Registration is Thursday, August 1st. Midwest Transit has a website listing buses available for purchase. Fairfield District #112 has mentioned they would rent a bus to us on two bus route days. Another option is to change dismissal on two bus route days to 2:00 P.M. to make time for the regular route and the athletic transportation. Teacher meetings would be moved to those early out days. Mrs. Harrelson requested advice from the board as to which avenue they would like to go. The board advised to seek out renting from Fairfield Public School District #112 and secondly to change the early out days to accommodate travel. A residency affidavit established by ISBE will be used at registration for families whose residency is questionable. A thank you note from Fairfield Fall Fun Fest Committee was received and read aloud for the chairs donated by the school. Architect submitted drawings for the proposed concession stand and storage addition. The board would like to move forward with accepting bids for the project.
