001[Music] Hello Falcons. Mr. Fleshner here bringing you an update from a special school board meeting uh that we held last night uh in in here in early May. Now, we typically also held a special meeting in early May primarily to approve contracts, but I want to hit a couple of updates from that session. So the first thing had a lot of fun and opened up. Mrs. Thomas, we met over at Parkerburg Elementary. She shared what some of the students had done with some coding and some and some small Bbots and uh Orbots and a city that the kids have built. You could check that out on social media, but we had students come in and present what they've learned to the board. It was a great fun way to start that meeting. The next piece
002um we met with site logic. They're helping us through our master facility planning and you probably have seen either a mailer or a survey out from them and we thank all of you for participating that we had almost 350 surveys returned. Lots of good information. I do thank everybody that took some time to to complete that. But they shared their findings from that survey with the school board um last night. you know, for those that voted yes, for those that voted no, things that they liked that were in the last bond referendum, things that maybe they didn't like as much in the bond referendum, maybe what their level of support for any future bond referendums. The board had an opportunity to kind of see all that information and do a little bit of processing on
003what that looks like. Um, overall, again, thankful for the participation rate uh with with our patrons in that survey. Please be on the lookout in the next week or so as we'll be offering opportunities for community members to come in and and be part of kind of a task force to kind of work through some future facility planning ideas um that you know you may have or concerns you may have be a great opportunity that's going to be open to everyone. Um so be on the lookout for things in social media and emails uh for possibilities to join that group. Okay, now on to some action items. Uh really it was approving contracts. We're at that time of the year. Teachers contracts were finished up a little bit ago. Now we're finishing up contracts for
004all of our support services and those kind of things. So our secretaries, our nurses, um food service, Paris, and I'm sure missing a few groups here, but all those people that kind of work to support our students and staff in the school district at whole. So, we're really just approving a lot of those contracts. Um, so we can get those turned and moved out to people. A couple other real quick notes. Uh, did approve a contract to do some work on our baseball and softball diamond. Um, really just some freshening up on those facilities. We haven't really done a lot of lot of work out there past several years. So, we're going to get those addressed. and also entering into an agreement with the city of Parkerburg um to use a field at all play
005parks. Primarily our junior high baseball team plays out there. So, we're just really kind of finalizing kind of an official agreement, if you will, to uh utilize that field in that space. So, that was really a quick overview of that meeting, but lots and lots of good dialogue uh happening there. again finishing up some contracts for our our school near next year and we'll have our regular schedule meeting on May 19th. Um but again, want to get these things taken care of in advance. As always, if you got questions, don't hesitate to reach out with me and go Falcons. [Music]
