SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT: Supt. Christiansen reported the elementary Christmas concert is being held tomorrow, the 6-12 concert will be tomorrow night. Quiz bowl hosted a tournament last weekend the A-Team were the champions, the B-team and Junior High both did very well also. He addressed the four areas of alternate bids for the bond project: additional VoAg renovations, auditorium lighting replacement, high school electrical panel replacement and elementary casework refacing. Tentatively, it looks as if the project will start on January 16th in the campus care room at BVN. Campus care will more than likely need to all be in Dunlap during this time; luckily, there hasn’t been much backlash from parents regarding the topic. Mobilization in Dunlap is estimated to start March 13th, with site demo to begin April 4th. He will be attending the ISFLC conference next Wednesday and Thursday. Our re-districting plans need adjustments due to changes in the census, but it looks as if there is a feasible solution so that directors do not need to change. Lastly, he is working on getting bids for school picture companies; currently we utilize Jostens, but he is reaching out to Lifetouch and a couple others for information regarding their packages. Director Puck arrived at 5:20 p.m. PRINCIPAL’S REPORT: Becky Gross spoke regarding the cancer and cocoa event that took place today hosted by the 5th-8th TAG students.
