SUPERINTENDENT AND ADMINISTRATORS’ REPORTS
Mr. Muir discussed his written report. There will be a training in December for the strategic plan in Pocatello and the date is to be determined. Mr. Muir will continue to follow up with Braintree for online learning opportunities. With a bus driver resigning, some bus routes have been combined.

The ISBA conference registration has been completed and the rooms have been booked for those attending.
Mr. Pincock provided a written report. CSI and Trio visit the high school to help prepare students to enroll in post-secondary opportunities. They also help students who are interested in obtaining their associates degree while in high school. The state department of education has postponed the implementation of the new civics test for a year. Currently our students take the citizenship test, and we will continue to use that test until the state implements the new test. The high school has been given the opportunity by Bingham County to be in charge of one of the parking lots during the fair. This will be an excellent opportunity for some of our organizations to earn some money. Mr. Pincock added that Aaron Spence received a $5,000 Program Quality Initiative grant from the Idaho Division of Career Technical Education.

A Child Find Day was held on 8/28 for students to be screened for testing for the Early Childhood Special Education program.
