LEARNING TREE CHILDCARE CENTER UPDATE: Jenny Cole from Learning Tree Childcare Center informed the board that they are ready to move ahead with plans to be located at the 696 Main Street location. They have secured around $200,000.00 in grants and will fundraise for the remaining $300,000.00. A USDA low interest loan is also an option. The Community Block Grant is available, but all projects would need to be bid out. Plumbing and heating will be the largest expense to complete the project. Local Option Sales Tax can help with community expenses. This is a board decision.

School Safety Grant Procedures need to be reviewed and posted. The bids for the safety grant are currently being procured.
Principal Thomas let the board know that our custodial staff is doing an awesome job with summer cleaning. The new roof will be installed soon at the Fitness Center. Mowing in New Albin needs some attention, and she is working on that. Thomas met with law enforcement, department of transportation, and Veterans Memorial Hospital about active shooter protocol. The day was invaluable and very well put together. Thomas chaperoned a trip to Noah’s Arc today for middle school and high school band & vocal. The trip went great.
ADJOURNMENT: Wagner made a motion to adjourn and Mauss made the second and the meeting adjourned at 8:16 p.m. The vote was all ayes. Absent and not voting Becker and Manning. Motion carried.
