III.A. Superintendent's Report
Discussion:
Mr. Chapman gave the superintendent's report. He shared with board members that he will be attending training for the Acellus program, which is new software that will be used for the high school and alternative education this next school year. The software is accredited through the state and gives students expanded learning opportunities. Professional development days are scheduled for August 5, 6, and 7 to give teachers an opportunity to receive training on new technology that will be used this year. Those attending will be compensated for their time (these days are outside of their contract days). An app is in the process of being set up for the school district. It can be downloaded at this time, but all the information has not been added yet. Mr. Chapman told board members the proceeds from the bonds were received today. An electrical engineer had been on site and will provide a plan to take down the electric lines on the west side of the high school and go underground into the high school building with the lines. Also, the lines that go overhead across Creek Street for internet, etc., will be placed underground. Mr. Chapman also hopes to mount transformers on the ground to replace the transformers currently on a raised platform at the west end of the high school building. He shared with the board that a lot of maintenance work has been taking place over the summer. He talked with the board about the middle school roof and the general consensus of the members was to replace that roof. Mr. Chapman will begin steps to get that project started. The transportation report for June and summary for the year were reviewed, as well as the utilities report.
