Superintendent Weber advised that the football schedules for next fall will be completed shortly and we will remain class 9AA.
Capital projects that will be discussed for next year’s budget include foam roof replacement for the classroom section of the gym that was not completed when the gymnasium roof was done and possible replacement of gymnasium  scoreboards.
A food service report was presented to the Board with revenues and expenses to date and discussion was held on the possible purchase of a fruit/vegetable sectioning machine.  Food costs are up with the new federal requirements, but we have been able to maintain our number of students served and additional revenue for second helpings as required by law has helped offset these cost increases.
Principal Paula Lynch reported on elementary issues.
Motion was made by Jason White, with a second by Gary Steichen, to approve April 9, 2013 as the date set for the school board election. One three-year term on the Board will be open.  Motion carried.
