Regular Meeting
A business agenda followed the reorganization meeting, touching on personnel items, the Athletic Facilities Project, and policy review on the Chemical Code of Conduct.
Numerous items were confirmed in a consent agenda, and are shown in the adjacent box. Consistent with the time of year, most of these items were personnel related. Two new teachers-Sarah Bintz (BHHS biology) and Mandy Gallaway (HCC Language Arts) were present to be congratulated upon their appointments. Also approved in the consent agenda was a renewal of the coaches' salary agreement.

The Athletic Facilities Project approved by the voters in 2003 is well under way. Consultant Scott Hughes of The Thomas Group was present, along with Assistant Superintendent Greg Carlson and Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds Steve Thompson, to provide an update. Highlights included the major activity currently remaking the high school fields; Mr. Hughes was optimistic about the schedule for the work, which calls for the fields to be playable by September. Board questions explored other aspects of the project, including the expected re-bidding of other components of the bond in the fall. Those
