A draft 2024-25 school calendar was shared. We are working with Friend to have a similar if not the same calendar. The calendar will be an action item for the January meeting. The board reviewed the consolidation petition and timeline that has been discussed. The area committees met last week with the teacher committee which is comprised of teachers from both schools. Questions and concerns from the teacher group were discussed. The elementary/gym HVAC project is still scheduled for the summer of 2024. The building and grounds committee recommended replacing the roof instead of patching the areas. Superintendent Sheffield will have Facility Advocates add this to the project as a change order. A decision about the future of the Milligan site was discussed. A couple of possibilities include the village of Milligan taking possession of the building. Through FCDC and SENDD, Eric Johnson is assisting in determining some options' feasibility. The administration from both schools is investigating different options for conference affiliation. The lack of JV/reserve games and travel times are the main reasons. More information will be available in February.
