Discussion:  Nothing to report.

Discussion:  Tecia Spray thanked everyone that made it possible for the bond to pass,
and encouraged continued transparency as planning continues.
 Mr. Thompson passed out several unofficial working documents. 
All worksheets reflected community input and assistance from the district's
construction manager and architect. Two representatives from Tecta America
Oklahoma discussed, in depth, the options for the roofs on the gyms at
Mutual and Sharon, guttering, and ways to help with runoff and drainage.
Mr. Thompson emphasized that no project can be allocated until funding
is available which brought up more discussion regarding the Lease-Purchase
option.  Jeremy Baggett and Dakota Lambreth, board members, stated they
think nothing should be started until we have the bond money in May. They
are concerned about the taxpayers having to pay interest costs. Mutual
Principal, Brad Shryock, spoke up and said the timeline matters. Lets have
a concession stand and new restrooms by football season and be able to
play volleyball games at Mutual. Mr. Thompson stated that we are here to
do what is in the best interest of the kids, the parents, the staff, the
community, and the taxpayers. My goal is to always find a balance.
Jeremy Baggett, Board Member, also ask why the school couldn't hire a 
maintenance man.  Mr. Thompson addressed that issue.
The board made a motion to give Mr. Thompson permission to contact
the architect and have him present at the January Board meeting, and to check
with the school's auditor and see if the bond money we will be receiving in May could be
used now for collateral so that bids can be taken.
Motion was made by Eddie White and seconded by Daniel Lee. Passed.

Discussion:  The next Board Meeting will be held Wednesday January 14th at 6:45 p.m.
