Due's report:
- Remodeling
at HS commons is in progress with old fabric and walls removed. New
sheetrock is up and will be taped and mudded soon. Tile will go well
up the new wall in addition to the floor. The ceiling will be raised
3 inches. Work appears on schedule for completion by the start of
school, but penalties would start if they are not done by August 11th.
- Prep
for turf installation at the football field is ahead of schedule.
The turf should be delivered about June 15th. The drainage system
is in place with a few rain delays. A recent change order will save
a bit of money with concrete in a few outter edge locations that were
turf in the original plan.
- Two
pre-fab buildings will soon be ordered for Herald Elementary. The
decision on units with or without restrooms was still pending. These
units will in use for a year while new classrooms are under construction.
- Security
systems for the elementary campuses: A low bid of $31K by Peak Uptime
was selected over two significantly higher bids by the contractors
that support the HS & MS systems.
- About
3 buses per week are being taken to OKC for upgrades this summer.
19) Superintendent's Report.
-- Pat Herald's report:
- The
price of summer school was raised from $100 to $125 (driver's ed and
English)
- The
Collinsville Economic Development Authority will meet Wednesday at
noon with a school topic to be addressed. Due to a recent ruling the
school must go through a local (or adjoining) trust authority for
its bonds.
- Wendell
Johnson will be a candidate for a District 4Board open slot.
- School
cutbacks will occur to deal with the lack of state funding for school's

sports trips were cited as just 1 example.
