XI. Superintendent's Report
A.
Informational
Superintendent Dale Bonfield updated the board on the following items:
- WIAA Fines - Mr. Bonfield provided information on how WIAA will handle coaches and school staff who are ejected from athletic events. Pending union negotiations, he proposed that the district should pay for the first offense only. He also proposed that our WIAA Board Representative draft a letter that would hold officials accountable for their behavior as well.
- Facilities Projects - After the doors and windows have been replaced, the district will remove the steeple from the church building. This building will be used for choir and robotics. The renovations will cost approximately $70,000-$100,000 from the Capital Projects Fund.
- Athletic Policy - Mr. Bonfield provided a draft policy for the athletic handbooks. The policy addresses the eligibility of 6th- and 8th-grade athletes. He would like the board to get input from our coaches and have it approved by July, so the policy can be included in the handbooks and keep parents informed.
- Paint on Football Field - The paint used on the football field is killing the grass. We need to hydroseed the dead spots to bring them back.
Board member Richard Witters inquired if student Eain Doyle followed up with Mr. Bonfield regarding painting the "A" on the hillside. Mr. Bonfield advised that Eain did not speak with him. Mr. Witters asked Mr. Bonfield to follow up with Eain.
Mr. Witters also asked about the memorial site. Mr. Bonfield advised that there is a designated memorial site in the commons area and that a sign made by a student in Mr. Landrus' class has been placed on the wall above the site.
