III. Board Business
A.
Student Board Member Recruiting
Mr. Martin reported that the Board had received one student video submission for membership consideration. He suggested that the Board wait for further submissions for discussion at the next Board meeting.
B.
Solar Project Update
Mr. Michelot reported that there had been a delay in the completion of the solar project and that plans are being made to continue the work within the school year. Because the total square footage of the design to the high school roof could not be determined, approval of the project from bond counsel is being awaited.
A positive that has developed due to the delay is that the federal government has issued more incentives, increasing the savings to FRCS.
Some frustration was expressed in the delay of the project. Documents are in order to go forward as soon as possible.

Mr. Martin reported that the Board is awaiting individual evaluations from some members. The evaluation will be tabled to the next meeting.
