CCS athlete’s continue to be active with summer camps, in addition, SCORE camp occurred in June. Transportation: I have included a list of vehicles and mileage. Also attached is the mileage from the month of June. The mileage on the admin car and annual mileage tends to be a concern, as well as the accumulation of mileage on the van fleet. Mr. Hauxwell has concerns regarding storage, specifically for the High Jump and Pole Vault equipment. The Nebraska School Activities Association will hold the annual coaching clinic in Lincoln on July 21st, 22nd, and 23rd. We have 7 coaches registered to attend the clinic. The gym floors were refinished last week and we will continue to prohibit traffic on them for another week or two. Quotes for each gym were as follows:Longhorn Gym: $2,890.00 (2 coats of Showtime Urethane Oil Base Finish) Shorthorn Gym: $1,850.00 Wellington Gym: $2,250.00 (2 coats of Hydra Kote Waterborne Urethane Finish). Mr. Hauxwell noted he has ran an ad for a couple of weeks for several open coaching positions and has had interest and is looking to complete those open assignments shortly. Board briefly discussed limiting if not eliminating the need for travel related to PLCs during the 15-16 school year and both Supt. Lefdal and HS Principal Scheel agreed. In addition, they briefly discussed summer activity travel concerns and agreed to continue to monitor and address if needed.
