-- all approved. The Pepsi Contract (with 3 years
remaining) had been modified by Pepsi in light of recent legislative
changes for on-campus vending restrictions. There will be less incentives
for Pepsi products sold but it is still expected to cover much of the
lease/purchase on the Pepsi building at the High School (near the baseball
field) which has 3+ years remaining on the payment plan. Pepsi is adjusting
for an anticipated 40% drop in their products being sold to all campuses.
Athletic Director Bill Rule expects the drop to be less than that here
as sales were already somewhat restricted here.

15) Discussion Regarding Honors and Distinction Awards. --
In response to a parent's concern, a survey was done of several local
high schools which showed similar policies for cutoff of selection for
the senior students' awards. The CHS cutoff is the end of 2nd tri-mester.
None of the schools "round-up" for students any fraction below
the set levels: Honors (3.50-3.74) and Distinction (3.75-4.0) on a 4.0
grading system: A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0 and D=1.0.
15) Assistant Superintendent's Report. -- Terry
Due's report:
- CHS
track is "unacceptable" in it's current condition
- The
track has many "flaws" and has already been "patched"
to try to correct some of them. The 8 inch base was done correctly
but the final asphalt and 2 top cushioning layers have ridges and
flaws. The track looks "OK" from a distance but has been
examined by track experts for the school and they agree with the school's
and architect's assessment that the top surfaces will need to be redone.
- Another
meeting is set for tomorrow (June 27th) with Helterbrand, The Stacy
Group, Track-Pro and the school to discuss options to fix the track.
-
Excerpts
from a 6-22-2007 letter from Michael Stacy (of the Stacy Group
Architects)
Terry,
... We are currently discussing options with the track manufacturer
to repair or replace the track that has been installed. The
current installation does not meet specifications and is not
acceptable. ...
The original specifications called for a latex system from
Plexi-pave. After several weeks of excuses and delays, both
the general contractor (Heltebrand) and our office were finally
able to determine that the installer was no longer an approved
installer for Plexi-pave. At this point Helterbrand Builders
offerred to pay the difference to go to the more expensive
Urethane track surface. ... The system was installed, but
not to our satisfaction. We have instructed Heltebrand to
develop and present a plan of action that will correct the
installation mistakes and provide a full warranty or to remove
the system completely and re-install the track. ...

- In
contrast to the track, Terry was "very happy" with progress
at the new Early Childhood Center (ECC) and says it will be "breath
taking" to the parents and students entering for the first time
soon. The carpet is now laid in a portion of the building and exterior
brick work is completed. Move in is expected in time for August classes.
16) Superintendent's Report.
-- Pat Herald's report:
- Comp Time Payments
for FY2007
(2 employees have used up hours and will receive comp time: Judy Herald:
$86.50 for the year and Brenda Flanary $387 for the year)
- A
$15/hour janitorial fee will be charged for non-school use of indoor
facilities starting July 1st. After hours school facilities use has
caused overtime payments to be necessary for janitorial support. No
fees have been charged in recent years. There is also a $100 deposit
that has been waived in the past. Joe Hampton recommended all the
new policies be printed on a form to be signed by those requesting
to use facilities before the actual use so all would be in agreement
on the terms up front.
- Rev.
Tommy Seals from the Meadowcreek United Church had visited with Mr.
Hearld to announce plans for a community outreach mission to provide
school supplies to all students (5th grade & below) that have
a need.
