Reports were heard from Sarah Chambers (acting Southside principal, director of administration and curriculum), Nothside principal Georgie Gourneau, junior high principal Greg Gourneau, high school principal Kim Hanks and acting superintendent Jim Baldwin.

Chambers told the board that Southside attendance is at 93.4 percent overall, with a total of 245 students. Georgie Gourneau said Northside has an overall attendance of 90.42 percent. Greg Gourneau reported an attendance rate of 84.51 percent for the eighth grade. Hanks said the high school student population is currently 220 students. She said attendance is down due to “senioritis.”

A resolution of intent to increase a non-vote levy was approved. The move is made annually and does not indicate a planned levy increase.

An out of district student attendance agreement was approved for a student from the Nordwick family, as was the 20-21-2022 district calendar.

The next regular board meeting will be April 12.
