NASB State Conference is next week and Jill will be attending the pre-conference. Construction on highway 15 is scheduled to be completed by the end of the month with a few landscaping things to be finished this spring. We are still short bus drivers and have a post on social media trying to attract new drivers. Our audit was delayed at no fault to us and we did receive the draft today. Dr. Fields will remind staff about resignation letters to the board by December to receive the $1000. We are looking at our student and staff records and starting to go paperless when possible. We still have paper time cards and are exploring going electronically. Veterans Day programs were held at all three buildings today. The Wellness Center Visit is next Monday, November 18th at 4:00 or 4:30. Congratulations to Ryne, Shawn, and Paul for winning the school board election. Dr. Fields thanked the board for all of their service. It does not go unnoticed.
