SUPERINTENDENT REPORT
Superintendent Ward went over her written report. The football field is looking better. Mrs. Ward asked if any Trustee would like to attend the annual ISBA meeting and to let her know so she could book the rooms. The basketball floor project has been started and should be completed towards the end of July. The custodians are doing their yearly cleaning, so it is advised not to go through the building if it can be avoided. The first day with teachers will be August 11th and our meetings will start at 1:00 pm. The ceiling project has been started in the elementary gym. This project may take a while to complete since it’s a large job. Mrs. Ward added that we are still looking for one custodian and one para-pro to hire.
