 VII.  Other Reports

 

       a.  Paul Lunsford – Window Leaks

Mr. Lunsford stated that there are two primary window issues at the Jr.-Sr. High School.            

            The first is the gaps around the window air conditioning units and no seals around the

            glass in the gym windows.  The second issue is that there is very little wood blockage. 

            The tracks are designed to drain, but a piece of plastic is missing on the end.  Mr.

            Lunsford recommends repairing the windows.  He stated that the best thing to do would

            be to repair one or two of the windows and examine the windows after the next rain.

 

         b.  High School Principal

              Mr. Maddox stated he was told by Mr. Kretzer that the school would be a part of the Oil

              Belt conference beginning with the 2010-2011 school year.  Mr. Maddox also stated that

              he is addressing two new public acts.  The first act is that the District is required to provide

              AED machine at all games and practices.  The District will need to purchase two portable

              AED machines in order in comply with this act.  The second act is on internet safety.  Steps

              are being taken to comply with both of the laws.

 

         c.  Elementary Principal

              Mr. Schulte stated that the flashing lights at the crosswalk have been repaired.  Howell

              Paving is responsible for the bill.  There is a section of the school where the hallways are

              very cold.  Mr. Schulte believes that this is due to no insulation in the ceiling.

       a.  Mike Chontofalsky – Information Now

Mr. Chontofalsky addressed the Board regarding the STIInformation Now software that is to be installed.  Mrs. Gimbel and Mr. Chontofalsky are recommending to the Board that the

software installation be delayed.  The reason is that the software has several problems and would be better to wait until STI gets the problems worked out.  The problems range from

lunch count not included to problems with student grades.  Also, the internet that we currently have is not fast enough and not reliable enough.  Mr. Morris asked if the discounts

that we received would still be valid.  Mr. Chontofalsky stated that he would let the Board

know the answer.

 

b.  J.J. Schomaker – Representative from J&R Mechanical & Electric

              Mr. Schomaker addressed the Board regarding the air conditioning units at the elementary

              building in the 1987 addition which are about 22 years old.  Mr. Schomaker recommends

a ductless split system which is also a heat pump.  Mr. Schomaker gave literature to the  

Board which included pictures and explained the system.  Mr. Schomaker recommends that

two 3 ton units be installed for the five classrooms on the east side and two units for the computer room.  He also recommended putting the ductless split system without heat pumps  in the cafeteria.  The cafeteria would need two units. The kitchen would only need one unit and then one unit for each classroom downstairs.  Another breaker box would have to be installed.  It would take about one month to install all units.

 

c.  High School Principal – Mr. Maddox

Mr. Maddox went over the student and staff recognitions with the Board.  Mr. Maddox addressed the Board on the disciplinary report.  The Junior High had 250 detentions, 36 isolations, 9 suspensions and 0 bus suspensions.  The High School had 270 detentions, 46 isolations, 19 suspensions and 0 isolations.  Mr. Maddox stated that before he became principal there 100 suspensions.  His first year as principal there were 67 and last year there

were 26. 

 

d.  Elementary Principal – Mr. Schulte

Mr. Schulte addressed the Board regarding discipline for the year.  At the elementary building, there were six in school suspensions, seven out of school suspensions, eight bus suspensions and 99 detentions that were given during recess.  There were a total of 121 dispositions for the elementary building.  Dispositions included such things as bullying, disruption of class, fighting and noncompliance to a reasonable request.
