  presence in the school…..walking halls, stopping in classes from time to time.

  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.
