Mrs. Harrelson presented the Superintendent’s Report. Review of the quarter one expenditure and revenue reports show we are where we should be at this time of year. There are two FOIA requests included in the board packets. One was for an employee listing that is requested annually and the other from the labor union requesting certified payroll from the roofing project. The annual summative designations this year show New Hope as a commendable school. This is down from our previous exemplary status even though our students performed well and maintained. There was a change in how they figure the outcomes. Mrs. Harrelson has a meeting scheduled with them next week. There is no progress to report on the roof project. We are still waiting on the metal fascia but it will not be available until January. The gym blocks have been replaced and the project is finished. The canopy is on track to be completed by October 31st. The chili supper and masquerade is scheduled for next Friday, October 28th. The chili supper and trunk or treat will be 5:00-6:30 P.M. The masquerade will start at 6:30 P.M. After a brief discussion, the board decided to not have a board Christmas dinner this year.
