Superintendent's Report

Triple I Convention - With the budget and COVID, the recommendation is to not send anyone this year.

State of the School - The list seems shorter and different because of the nature of the end of this past school year. Again A-C Central had an amazing year.

COVID Update - Mr. Page attended 2 very large meetings with other area Superintendents. The general attitude from the Sangamon area is we are going to open up school. Take all precautions as possible but we are going to get it done and make it happen. The West Central region of Superintendents are a lot more reluctant and hesitant to open up school due to liability and health concerns.

Administrators Reports Elementary Report- Final report cards went out June 5th along with the student's class lists. The Elementary staff has been in and signed-off on their classrooms. Custodians have started waxing floors. Much of the building areas designated for summer painting projects have already been completed. All Elementary staff is secured for the 2020-2021 school year except P.E. Current class sizes: K-25, 1st - 28, 2nd -- 21, 3rd - 28, 41h - 25.

MS/HS Report - Mrs. Shaver has listed new hires and staff adjustments for the 20 21SY, Summer school is scheduled to run from June 15th to July 15th. It is still a question as to whether the Senior/8th Grade Graduation, Athletic Banquet, and Prom will be able to take place. Donations are still needed for Fall Kick off assembly for PBIS.

Technology Report. The student laptop inventory is now underway. Evaluating Senior and 9th grade laptops are what will be addressed first. This is the first year that the laptops we buy back from Seniors will be able to be repaired before their warranty expires. We are still waiting on 1/3 of Seniors to what they'd like to do concerning keeping or selling back their laptops. All student laptops will be running on Windows
