SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT: On behalf of the Boyer Valley FFA Chapter, Cole Miller (President) and Taryn Clemon (Secretary) held a presentation regarding their recent trip to the National FFA Convention. They visited a horse farm, a couple distilleries and a tobacco farm prior to attending the general session and career fair/expo of the convention. It was a great learning and team building experience for all who attended. Supt. Christiansen reported that the 6th graders finished the D.A.R.E program; the music dept. had three successful programs in December; musical auditions begin tonight, they will be performing Cinderella on March 31 – April 2; high school tech students introduced the 5th graders to finch robots and will meet with them every Friday for 30 minutes; the elementary lead team made an MTSS manual for staff which is a teacher resource for processes and procedures; the elementary had 12 student with perfect attendance in the first semester and 20 students that have missed less than one day. The facility project start date for the Dow City location has been pushed back until summer; this will save on mobilization costs and lessen the disruption of classrooms; start date at the Dunlap location is scheduled for April/May. The board needs to consider changing plans at the Dow City building in order to help keep the flow of the building consistent with daily operations; this could lead to potential cost savings of the project. The campus care in Dow City is closed for the time being due to staffing issues and will continue to remain closed until a resolution can be found; might need to consider just having a before/after school program until the workforce can stabilize. We were approved to use ESSER funding to purchase 10 touchscreens for the BVS building classrooms. He will be meeting with Mr. Wagner from Woodbine regarding our Ag program and to gain clarification on the understanding Woodbine students were to be allowed to come here for our Ag program since we were sending students to them for Ignite. Re-districting plans and the proposed map has not changed since the last meeting, it will be on the February agenda for approval. PRINCIPAL’S REPORT: There is a request to paint the elementary gym a bright white, bids will be requested to see about costs.
