Others

A request was made by Carly Lagge to hold a fundraiser at the Tripp-Delmont/Armour doubleheader for an overseas music trip that she will be going on.  Mr. Tuschen has been looking into E-rate funding that could possibly cover some of the costs of new access points throughout the schools. With the addition of Jags.live, the crows nest at the football field can become crowded on some nights.  The board would like to look into costs to add-on to the existing structure.  Mr. Muckey & Mrs. Kemp met with Title III representatives from SD DOE this past month. The custodians are in the process of making lists of surplus items.  Once the lists are finalized we can determine how to dispose of the items. The senior parents informed the school of their potential intentions with the after prom party this year. It was inquired about the possibility of moving the homecoming parade times up so there is more time between parade and game time for practices/game prep.  The parade times will be moved up ½ hour this next year. The feasibility studies are virtually complete with some possible building options and very rough cost estimates.
