Please find the proposed calendar for next school year. It is basically the same calendar that was used in 2009-10. There is one change from 2009-10 to 2010-11 and that is the built in snow day was moved to April 1st instead of May 7th to avoid GHS testing windows.  If the board passes the preceeding MOU’s then I will be recommending the first calendar which has two days of professional development before school. The third day will be used for parent teacher conferences instead of professional development. If the MOU dealing with this is not approved then I will be recommending the calendar with three days professional development before school.

The Refunding Bond Issue of 2008, which was used to pay for the energy conservation projects at GHS and GMS will have approximately $50,000 remaining after the construction contractor is fully paid.  Previously some of these remaining funds were used to purchase used maintenance vehicles to replace maintenance vehicles that were much older and with potential significant repairs needing to be done.  The School Board could use some of these remaining funds to build a band storage garage on the property south of the band practice field.  Our Building Trades class could build this facility and begin on it within the month.  It is recommended that the School Corporation designate up to $20,000 of these funds to build this storage facility and use these funds for construction.  Since the present band storage building could then be used as an athletic storage area, the athletic department is willing to contribute $10,000 for this project.  If the project exceeds $30,000 then this item would be brought back to the Board as a “change order” for any additional designation of these funds.
