Superintendent's Report
Mrs. Shaver is looking into getting a new marquee sign in front of the MS/HS building. She has spoken with Springfield Pepsi.
We received a FOIA from SmartProcure.
Both towns are having an electronic pick-up day. So we are getting rid of all our old electronics.
The city is working with us because we have that pool of water in front of the school. Town workers are going to break up part of the sidewalk to create a drainage area.
The issue we had in the weight area, when they cleared the water out the dirt collapsed which is very concerning because there is no projection of what could possibly cost.
Some of our grant money is on hold because of an issue with sam.gov. Mrs. Shaver has been contacting people to get it handled.
Next month Kevin Handy will be coming to the April meeting to talk to us about the HVAC upgrades. He has had people come out and look at the HVAC system a couple different times. He should give the board an updated quote. Cost are up a little bit so expect the cost to be more.
