New Business: Bond Issue- based on the way the bond is worded we have to do something in the locker rooms but we may possibly be able to do other things if funding is available, some ideas were expand the Art room,ventilation in the Elementary (Mr. Thomas will take a floor plan and decide where the ventilation problems are) , and a common s area although not sure there is anywhere to put it, and a more secure entrance - hoping to get final decision soon in order to get a lot done this summer
