XV. Superintendent's Report

A.

Informational

Superintendent Dale Bonfield updated the board on the following items:

 

  • WWCC has provided cords for students who earned their AA degree to wear at graduation. The board is okay with students wearing the cords since they were earned in conjunction with the high school studies required for graduation.
  • Doors, Windows, and HVAC upgrades - The upgrades will not be completed by the 2026-27 school year since the windows and doors won't arrive until July.  The district paid an additional $23,000 to get the doors here sooner.  Storage containers will be placed next to the district office to store the materials.  Installation will take place in the evenings and on weekends.  The HVAC upgrades will be finished by December 2027.
  • Community Garden - In conjunction with a staff member, the Food Service Department, and the special education life skills class, the district would like to put in a community garden.  However, this will not occur until the storage containers are removed.
  • June Board Meeting - Facilities supervisor Chris Segroves will present on the progress of all the projects.
  • The morning of graduation - everyone will meet in the high school faculty room at 10:30 a.m.
