Principal
Kemp reported on the various contests that have been going on in the elementary
and junior high. The school district had students that were very successful in
both spelling bees and hoop shoot contests.
Principal
Fergen is working on the athletic schedule for the 2019-2020 seasons. He is looking for some guidance on facility scheduling
of games. The majority of basketball
games are going to a doubleheader format which has them being played in the
high school for locker room space. He is
currently arranging for teams that are coming from the south to play in the
high school gym in Corsica and the teams coming from the north to play in the elementary
gym in Stickney to reduce travel time for those teams. With this arrangement there would be 3
volleyball games in Stickney and 8 in Corsica. For stand-alone girls’
basketball games there would be 1 game in Stickney and 5 in Corsica and for
stand-alone boys’ basketball games there would be 1 game in Stickney and 0
games for Corsica. The 2019-2020 season
will have 3 doubleheader basketball games in Corsica. Several topics of concern
were discussed: One of the concerns
would be that with just the 1 game for each in Stickney, would the athletes
still have the same home court advantage feel. Another concern would be
stocking the concession stand for just those 2 games and having to either haul
everything back and forth between the schools or have to order duplicates of
everything and then deal with the leftovers at the end of those games. Discussion also incorporated the grade school
sports. At this time all home 5th
and 6th grade girls’ and boys’ basketball games are played in the
Elementary Gym in Stickney. This comes
out to about 4-5 games per year and the consensus was to keep all those games in
Stickney as that is the home building for the elementary students and it is
logical to keep them in Stickney when the games usually start right after
school. It was also indicated that when
there are volleyball matches in Stickney during the 5th and 6th
basketball season that they usually have to skip practice due to the gym set up
for volleyball games. Several 7/8 and
High School competitions have evolved starting at 4:00 PM. It is easier for the junior high and high school
students to play the games at the high school gym in Corsica as that is the
facility they are in so they don’t have to leave school early to get to the
elementary gym in Stickney. After a long discussion it was decided to give
final direction at the March board meeting of where to schedule the activities.
Motion
by Lagge seconded by Tolsma to approve the signed contracts of Scott Muckey,
Andrew Fergen, Ferra Kemp, & Angela Feenstra. Motion carried.
Other
items discussed were the updated SPED Review timeline, the new defibrillator
for the school, and the installation of some hand dryers in the main bathrooms
at the high school.
