Notes from the September School Board Meeting

Perhaps the shortest meeting ever, not that anyone's complaining!

First, the monthly What's Right Report:

Julie--There have been excellent turnouts at the open houses she's seen. It's neat to see so many parents involved.
Kelly--She recently attended a legislative assembly and had a good time.
Rod--He recently attended an away volleyball game and was impressed at how Medical Lake's athletic facilities compared to this league rival.
Peggy--She attended PIE (Parent Information Evening) at the Elementary School. An excellent event, and there was pie!
Ron--The football games have been going well; it's a testament to the good coaching the kids are getting. The new pressbox will also be a great thing for the school.

Pam--We have an excellent, supportive school board. She also praised the partnership we have with Fairchild and the access the district has been able to get.
Ralph--When Colville's team bus broke down, our transportation department stepped up to help them get home.
Don--The September payroll got done, which is always something of a minor miracle because of all the changes that have to be entered into the system and tracked.


The other highlight of the night was a report on fall athletics presented by Dr. Veltri. There are 236 kids turned out this season, broken down as follows:

Cheerleading--11
Dance Team--12
Volleyball--48 players on 3 different teams
Soccer--36 players
Cross County--49 runners
Football--80 players

The meeting adjourned shortly before 7:30.
