Superintendent’s Report “Lighting in the auditorium started this week on the stage and house lights,” Sternberger told the board.

The day care center is up and running after repairs, he said, and said they appreciated the Baptist church allowing them to use their facilities.

He also reminded board members they’d have a special meeting at noon Tuesday, March 12, for the bid opening on $1.25 million in taxable building bonds.

The April 8 regular meeting will also be held at noon instead of the usual 7 p.m., he said.

At the Meeting

The board table was full this month with the addition of Dakota Semrad.

He was appointed at last month’s meeting, but was not present. Semrad replaces David Tillman who resigned from the board in January.

All other board members were also present: President Luke Lough, Vice President Patrick Griffin, Clerk Dr. James M. Matousek and Amy Charmasson.

Also at the board table were Sternberger and Office Manager and Minutes Clerk Timberly Jech. The only other staffer at the meeting was HHS Principal Josh Faulkner.

Visitors at the meeting were Amber Koehn, Ashley Zielny and Doyle Miller, who is running against Charmasson for her open board seat.

This month’s meeting lasted 49 minutes.
