Superintendent Report: The regulations on sports have continued to change. Kevin Greathouse deserves all the credit for quickly rescheduling games and keeping things going. Fairfield high school has generously allowed us to host most of our games in their gym. Superintendent Fulkerson says she is not expecting payment because our player’s families are tax payers of their district as well. The board agreed that a donation should be made for use of their gym. Distance rule has decreased to 12 feet from 30 feet from the court boundary. The guidance still allows up to 50 people and we will continue to offer 2 guests per player, home and visiting, to attend. Mr. Webb received a $1,000 PPG grant to be used in his classroom. Fairfield high school has not yet responded with numbers for providing transportation. Melanie Hill will begin processing payroll for WOVSED. This is a position she will do on her own time.
