Mike Tuschen, technology coordinator,

projector for the elementary school.

this technology is Tolsma made a motion and Nicole Bamberg seconded to approve
the purchase of all items Tuschen proposed.

Superintendent Muckey presented
the proposed class schedule to board.
The principals will continue working on it but they are feeling very
confident of where it is at for the moment.
The students have been filling out class selection forms to help with
how many students are expected for each class.
Dan Bosma addressed the board
about the possibility of a drop off point where the shuttle drivers exchange
buses. It would help out some families
that have kids that go to both schools.
The board will have to look into any legal matters that could arise from
this. They will contact the attorney and
make a decision before the next school year.
Unfinished Business
Zoning of house site in
Stickney/Bus Barn
An update was given on the house
site in Stickney. The house has been moved off of the property and the hole has
been filled in. The re-zoning process
has been started and will be checked on to see what kind of time frame the
school is looking at to have that all approved.

Principal Kemp presented a list
of items the elementary teachers had come up with for playground ideas. Rather than 1 large play system they would
rather have a smaller play system and then multiple stations of other items to
spread the kids out. The board also

having to play in mud. Motion by Tolsma
seconded by Clites to have Kemp move forward with getting play system and other
