Superintendent’s Comments:

This is the month to begin developing the budget, process all the purchase orders for receiving supplies and instructional materials, write all the grants, complete all the end-of-the-year forms, and approve the Employee Guide and Risk Management Plan. It is also a time to approve summer repair/maintenance projects, as well as hire new staff. Every July and January the school board must approve the Superintendent to destroy Closed Session recordings that are over 18 months old. You will also see that many agreements that are renewed are approved by the school board. Agreements with the school district should always have school board support. Again, we have a new set of policies to review and we chose to offer flu shots to staff next school year to keep them healthy.

While it is a busy time for paperwork and finances, we end a fiscal year and begin a new one, and start preparing for the 2019-20 school year. Until then, enjoy the rest of the summer. Looking forward to seeing the students and staff in August!
