board member is asked to bring to next meeting one person that would be able to help
with this promotion. Heather suggested we have each board member take a turn
adding a paragraph one time a month to the school news letter.School Operating Budget: Dustin provided recap. Budget is still on track from report last
month.
New milk cooler has been delivered.
Continuing Ed program - Dustin still needs to write out policy detailing how tuition aide
will be fairly distributed to teachers wishing to use funds.
Delinquent tuitions – We still have five families behind. Dustin is working with them to
work something out (last family contacted him this week to discuss). Current policy is
that tuition has to be caught up prior to start of first semester for enrollment or family
has to be working with Dustin in good faith to get back on track.
All needed teachers are in placed/been hired.Church and Sunday School Attendance for Lutheran members: Lack of Sunday School
attendance from Lutheran members was briefly discussed. Dustin is to start conversation with
Pastor Constien on subject to look for help with problem. School handbook clearly states
regular church and Sunday School attendance are expected. Parents should also be
encouraged that supporting regular church and Sunday School attendance sets a pattern for
later in life. Sara will also see how teachers can encourage this more.
