Smith (the school's financial advisor) presented a few options for potential

bond debt to be paid down and perhaps a more favorable set of economic
factors before taking on future projects. The consultant also noted
that if the board wished to pursure something sooner, that his firm
would do their best to find a way to to make that feasible. A future

* Gradual CHS room-by-room rennovations continue with several completed

improvements and reported a "renewed pride in the classrooms"
by the teachers and students. Improvements include paint, ceiling tile
replacements, air handler room rennovations, carpet and new windows.
It is hoped all the planned room updates can be made by summer.
* French drains were installed and shaded grassy areas were cemented
over in the canopy area connecting the main CHS building with the 9th
grade center.
* Janice K. Pollard signs now in place at ECC.
* A
double door foyer will be added at CHS to help with security and heat/cool
air loss.
* Plans in place to upgrade/eliminate window air conditioners at Wilson
Elementaryas funds available.
* Drainage issue near Wilson canopy also addressed.
* EDIT Group here for Jan. 4th professional development day discussing
Common Core (new tougher
testing standards set for mid-2014).
* NWEA training soon for increased student assessment to help them be
more comfortable with future testing requirements.
19) Superintendent’s Report. -- Terry Due
reported he expects test scores to continue to rise and we are on track
for Common Core in 2014.
20) Announcements.
* CHS Wrestlers won the Cushing tournament this
weekend.
* Home Depot has recently "adopted" Wilson Elementary and
will provide expertise and volunteer some material & labor for a
"dream list" including improvements to the upper playground.
* Terry Due offerred congratulations to Chance
Riley (son of board member Steve Stout) for being a part of the Pitt
State football division II national championship.
21) New Business: (if any, of an emergency nature or that was not known
at the time the agenda was posted).
* Jan Sheiver (4th grade teacher at Herald) turned
in her resignation this week (effective Jan. 20th) after the agenda
was set. Her husband has an OKC job and she now has a job offer closer
to OKC. New Herald Principal Arlin Stacy will begin interviewing for
a replacement teacher.
* A 2% raise for support staff had been approved earlier in the school
year but the same 2% raise for administrators had been on hold. Terry
Due recommended the numbers looked good enough (after mid-year adjustments
by the state) that the raise for the administrators was now within the
available budget and it was approved by the board and made retro-active
to the beginning of the school year. This was the first raise in 3 years
for principals and the assistant superintendent.
22) Adjournment.
This notice being
given and displayed by the authority of the School Board of Independent
District, I-6, acting by and through the undersigned.
