Superintendent Milt informed the Board that the stage curtains in the junior/senior high school gym would be black instead of orange. The orange the curtain company has clashes with the orange in the gym. He stated that if the Board felt strongly about orange stage curtains, he would not change the curtain color to black. The Board agreed they wanted the color that will look best in the high school gym and they did not object to black.
Principal Moxley and Principal Uphoff gave administrative reports. (Exhibit B & C)
Superintendent Milt reported that the original grade school plans did not call for clocks in the grade school office or teacher’s lounge. He plans to have them installed for $600 per clock. There was a color problem with the laminate on cupboards and counters for the new grade school. It will cost over $1,400 for restocking to correct the problem which will be paid by Farnsworth Group. Our custodians will wax the tile, which will be a saving even with the new waxing machine that will be purchased. We will have our custodians wipe down the walls before moving in which will be a saving of $7,000. Superintendent Milt and the construction manager have been discussing the curling on the saw joints to determine if this is normal. Hedrick Fabrication is cutting posts for a fence at the softball field and 2 loads of lime will spread. The hail damage done to the schools, athletic fields, and vehicles has been turned in to the insurance company. The company that was doing the ironwork filed bankruptcy last week although another company has been hired to finish the project. The kitchen appliances are being manufactured and the range will be delivered this week.
