The board meeting this evening may have set a record for being the shortest regular monthly board meeting ever. It started at 6:03 pm and was over at 6:21 pm. That's eighteen minutes! There was not a lot on the agenda and there wasn't much discussion. Sitting in the audience were three school employees and nobody else. There weren't many highlights, but I'll provide a quick summary of a few items of interest.
1) Weight Room - The weight room has been fixed up. One of the board members remarked that she was impressed.
2) Trona Alumni Dance - An alumni event is coming up. One of the board members provided some information about expected attendance and other details.
3) The Interim Superintendent announced that the school is fully staffed. There were a number of teacher positions that had to be filled over the summer and all vacancies were filled with qualified teachers.
4) Several new employees were approved including a substitute teacher, a classified substitute, a certificated employee, and an AVID tutor.
5) Some weight lifting equipment and a 1975 International Dump Truck were declared surplus. The weight lifting equipment will be sold as scrap metal for $500 and the dump truck (estimated value $200) will be put out to bid.
6) Closed special board meeting September 1st.
7) Next regular board meeting Thursday, September 10th, 2015.
