SUPERINTENDENTÕS REPORT

Bruce Porubek reviewed all summer athletic activities that have been taking place.  He also announced coaches for the fall sports season and when practices will begin.  Mr. Porubek also presented the changes that had been made to the athletic handbook.  There are no major changes, just cleaning up some of the language to make it more clear.  The fall coaches/parents meeting is scheduled for Sunday, August 23, 2009.  Canfield and Associates will be here to discuss coach/player/parent conduct, liability and rules (athletic code) and concussions. 

 

Andrea Miller asked for an update regarding the athletic field lighting.  Mr. Winters stated that he is still working with Inland Power and Light to move the power line on the west side of the field.  The plan is to trench down the fence line and bury the power line.  Mr. Winters has met with Summit Excavating and is hoping to receive a quote in the next couple of days. 

 

Mr. Winters discussed the ParaEducator shift at Endicott.  He is attempting to assemble a committee that will meet on Thursday to discuss and make proposals that he will then take to the board chair.  Mr. Winters hopes to receive a couple of proposals from the committee that will work with the schedule for next school year.

 

Dana Crider provided fiscal reports and cash flows for both schools.  Once again, it was mentioned that St John will not meet their fund balance for this fiscal year.  A spending freeze has been in place at St John because of the low fund balance.
