Vehicle
Damage
Johanna
Pfiester discussed with the board the damage received by her vehicle from a
discus during track practice. The school
turned a claim into EMC and received notification that they would not cover
anything since the accident did not show any negligence. Pfiester’s have turned the accident into
their insurance as well as the student’s homeowner’s policy. At this time, they have not received any

part of the accident. The Pfiester’s were inquiring if the school would be
willing to pay their deductible of $500.
Motion by Tolsma seconded by Lagge to agree to the payment of $500 with
the stipulation that if they would get any reimbursement from the homeowner’s
policy that the $500 would be returned to the school. Motion carried.

The
past three years the Corsica-Stickney School District has been able to get
services through a Career Coach Program as part of a grant. The funding for this grant runs out at the
end of the 17-18 school year. The coordinator of it has set up a plan that we
could continue to receive the services for approximately $3000/year. They would want a three-year commitment. After talking with the school counselor and
extending her contract to full time, those services should all be able to be
provided within the system.
Motion
by Odens seconded by Van Gorp to vote for Patrick Frederick, Dr. Paul
Turman, and Dr. Jerry Rasmussen as SDHSAA representatives and “Yes” on
Amendment No. 1. Motion carried.

students to participate at the high school level in the different drama
programs if. The board agreed that would
be acceptable since it is already allowed for athletics.

$13,853.82 and ProSeal for $14,833.85 to fix both blacktops. Motion by Tolsma seconded by Van Gorp to
