Todd Jokisch wanted to bring up on the local news that some fentanyl was found in some marijuana just south of here. Do we need to have an assembly or some information put out warning the kids that it is not just something that your parents hear on the news? You can try it one time an die from this. This is just very scary.
Administrators Reports
Elementary Report – Pre-K screenings are set for March 2nd & 3rd. IAR testing is scheduled for April 3rd – 6th. Students and staff enjoyed celebrating the 100th day of school.
Building & Grounds Report - HVAC units should be arriving in March. Lamar- Hager provided a bid for applying a skim coat & installing vinyl flooring. Chandlerville Office flooring and hallway flooring is on hold until summer.
Technology Report - The Elementary intercom system is needing replaced. We will begin the process of filling out paperwork to submit to the E-rate program. With this round of E-rate we are continuing the process of acquiring back up power supply units for the district.
Superintendent's Report
Grant monitoring went well. FY24 Board Members will have to do Trauma Training. We had our McKinney Vento Homeless Education Monitoring visit. HLS visit was also fine. Minor fixes that we had to adjust but one main thing is to replace the Ag Shop door. We have now made Sangamon County CEO Program a Regional Program. So that will give our kids career and technical education pathway and endorsement we have to do that on their diplomas anyway. We have gotten some state teacher shortage reports that are still not good. We will be doing a full compliance audit with the ROE very soon.
