President Stohs provided information from the Department of Revenue showing the breakdown of the district's valuation by Centrally Assessed and Ag Valuation, as well as revenue from the windfarm. Understanding that no one likes paying taxes, he noted how fortunate we currently are in the Diller-Odell District, and why the past five years has been a crucial time to get many projects completed as we could. The Board will take time in the July meeting to discuss future projects such as window replacement, HVAC updates and TBD. The Board directed Superintendent Meyerle to gather information on a 8 period school day. The District has operated on a 7 period day for a number of years. The Board will consider this change for the 2018-19 school year. The rationale being: The Board would like to see more time and choices for students in music, ag, art and other elective courses. |
