Under discussion items, the board was told that the instructional assistants in the corporation were sent a memo to inform them of Prime Time Funding being reduced by 54%, equaling $46,000. This will result in the reduction of three to five instructional assistants in the corporation. The memo asked that any staff member considering retiring or resigning to notify the administration office by June 23. All responders indicated a desire to keep their jobs. Therefore, the administration will present to the board what is felt to be the best avenue to proceed.

An update was given on Mrs. Beasey’s recovery after surgery.

There was discussion on adding a section of bleachers to the current seating area at the football stadium. A patron had expressed a concern on the location of the new section of bleachers, feeling that the visitors should be seated on the other side of the field. The action was tabled until an update can be provided on the expense of placing the bleachers on the east side to the field. The cost will involve fencing in the entire track, developing a walkway from the west side to the east side, and excavation work to level the ground.
