11) Accept Bids for School Property,
1001 West Oak. St., Collinsville, OK. -- The high bid ($180,999) by the Collinsville Church of Christ (in the same block) was accepted. The church indicated plans to expand to the former ECC building which was originally a church. A youth center is one possibility for future use of the building according Don Witten.


12) Discussion to Set Priorities for Spring 2008 Bond Issue. -- no vote was taken and more options will be discussed at the next board meet when priorities will most likely be set. Preliminary candidate projects discussed for the ~$6 million potential spendable dollars from a likely bond election in March 2008:

Estimated Cost Potential Projects Discussed 11-5-2007
$1.467 million 8 new classrooms (w/ restrooms) at Herald Elementary
$1.8 million 6 new classrooms (w/ restrooms) at the high school + canopy to main bldg + brick exterior of the then 12 room remote bldg. + Commons refurb in main CHS bldg
$300,000 3 new 77 passenger school buses + security cameras for all buses. (Option for 1 van also if buses not air conditioned.)
$350,000 Textbooks & Technology
$690,840 Artificial turf for Sallee (football) Field (which would also be the band practice field, soccer field, youth football field, ...)

The estimated projects above totaled ~$4.5 million and additional topics (e.g. next phase of track development with stands and rest rooms, etc) will be presented at the next meet. I have lots of additional notes from the presentation of each topic above but will keep it simple now pending actual approval by the board. A few photos of potential designs are at right. -- Ted


13) Declare Surplus and No Longer Needed by the School District, One (1) Wrestling Mat.
-- approved. The mat is about 20 years old and has been repaired many times.

14) Assistant Superintendent's Report. -- Terry Due's report:

  • Had meeting with Trane about energy assessment but not proper time to pursue
  • City will put up lights at track soon
  • Atlus Construction still working on a drainage issue at new ECC
  • Some of ECC playground equipment installed but not the biggest item


15) Superintendent's Report.
-- Pat Herald's report:

  • Presentation of a plaque for Wendell Johnson for continuing his school board certification to level 4 which is reached by very few board members statewide. The presentation was made by State Representative Earl Sears (a former educator). (Previous Coverage)
  • Thanks to Trey Keith for the Cardinals on the new ECC message board posts. Also thanks to Reasors for help with funding the ECC playground equipment.
  • MRSA staph infections continue to be reported at many local schools (and there have been cases in Collinsville in the past). Precautions and disenfecting actions were already in place here. Bill Rule has been tasked to meet with the school nurses to look for other agressive actions to take and information to provide to students & parents
