The board discussed putting asphalt on more area in the Common’s parking area to help with the sand that comes into the building, especially the gym, when we have activities. With oil prices at an all-time, low the board felt now is the time to begin the process of paving more of the area. Commercial Asphalt provided a quote for the area the board is looking at finishing. This will make a parking lot in the area east of the Commons/new addition and south of the high school wing of the school. It is in future plans to continue to pave areas as money is available to help with the sand problem.
Brenda Schmit gave the board an update on her recent SD Department of Education Parent Advisory Council meeting.
