WORKSHOP

Mr. Dillon reported that Sen. Crapo would be on campus on Nov. 3 to deliver books for the elementary students. He invited the Board to join him and staff for a short program.

Mr. Dillon spoke to the Board about the facilities and improvements that need to be made. We have outgrown the cafeteria. Discussion was held about trying to make more room in Mercer Cafeteria. It was determined that it would not be cost effective, nor would it add enough room for the growth. They discussed the bond capacity for the District. Discussion was held about the priorities of the Board. It was agreed that the Board would like to look at building a new cafeteria, which would also house an Ag Building along with a district shop. The Board would only consider the Athletic Complex if it is possible to build it at the same time without raising patron’s taxes. Discussion was also held regarding finding sponsors and/or donations.

Mr. Dillon also discussed having a survey sent out to patrons to find out if the public would be in favor of the improvements.

Mr. Dillon held a discussion about the voter’s list from the August 30 levy election. The Board must work to make the “no” votes “yes” votes.

The Board directed Mr. Dillon to get specific information and costs for the project and bring the info back to them. This will be discussed further.

NEW BUSINESS

Mr. Dillon held a 1st Reading of the Leadership Premiums program. Discussion was held. Mr. Dillon will bring this back for a 2nd Reading.
