Principal’s Report:
Starting to look at data from winter assessments now that we are back in school.
Old Business
- Family Fun Night
a. Games, craft, BINGO and face painting (short on volunteers - Incentive for those that show up and those are then eligible for $25 card to Target/Walmart)

- Spring carnival planning
- Discuss additional folding chair purchase
a. At school events, there are consistently 50-100 people standing. Some elderly and disabled. With a school of nearly 600 kids, we need more seating -
i. Using the catalog the schools/district uses -$2400 if we purchased another 100 chairs and that’s without the rack/dolly.
ii. If we did one of the two tiered racks that holds 84 chairs ($545) and ordered 84 chairs ($2016) that’s $2561. Not sure on tax/shipping etc but assume if we order it’s tax exempt
Jen Selensky made a motion & Stacey Simle seconded to purchase the chairs with extra funds - passed Yes - 7 No- 1
