Principal
Eide informed the board that it is free college application week for SD Universities
and many high school seniors have taken advantage of this opportunity.
Due
to COVID, the administration team proposed some ideas for upcoming events. Due
to large turnouts and no space to properly social distance, the Elementary and

be allotted 4 tickets and for doubleheaders each player will be allotted 2
tickets. Student body will be limited to 50 students. The opposing team will be
given the same limitations.
The

year. The Juniors and Seniors will both attend the Legislative session in

discuss various options in regard to a building project(s). Puetz and Architecture
Incorporated will be working together to create designs and cost estimates for possible
building options. Information will be presented to the public when it becomes
available.

by Clites to make a one-time payment of $1,082.84 to certified staff, full-time
