Mr. Braaten updated the board on the energy savings project; thermal heaters installed in the west end of the building are ready, east end should be complete next week. Otter Tail Power Company has installed new service at both ends. Darrell Ringenberg should start on the lighting portion of the project soon.

The board discussed the direction that the football program will need to go due to numbers and revised NDHSAA football plan. A decision will have to be made in the immediate future whether to open a dialogue with Maddock. The Minnewaukan school board met last week to discuss its concerns with the program. A common policy/rules/discipline policy should be developed between the schools.

The result of the community survey from May 2007 was reviewed: 80% favored Maddock.

It was mentioned that several football players would like to meet with the board to express their concerns and if a community meeting should be held.

It was moved, and seconded to pursue discussion with the Maddock School District for forming a football co-op for the 2009/2010 season. After discussion of previous meetings on the subject, a roll call vote was taken: two members were in favor and one was opposed.

The motion carried.

Mr. Braaten updated the board on the purchase of the bus.

Mr. Manley presented the secondary principal’s report: seniors attended Career Fair in Devils Lake; homecoming was successful; volleyball is 7-1 and football is 4-1; district FFA leadership in Rugby on Oct 1; ASVAB for juniors on October 3; three students will be participating in the Young Men’s Choral Festival.

Congratulations to Katrina Lybeck for being named "Commended Student"

by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation for her PSAT score.

Mrs. Braaten presented the elementary principal’s report: a visit to Engstrom pumpkin patch, M.A.P. testing is complete; health screening; Sully’s Hill field trip; state assessment tests have been scheduled; elementary girls’ basketball season is underway; new staff members are doing a great job.

The school law seminar is October 25 and the annual School Board convention is Oct 26 and 27. The registration deadline is October 15. Board members available to attend must let Mrs. Benson know by October 12 for rooms and registration.

A motion was made, seconded and carried to approve hiring Susan Braun as elementary aide.

The Board reviewed the NDHSAA by-law amendment. The general consensus is to agree with the recommendation.

Mr. Braaten gave the superintendent’s report: sidewalk in front of shop door; elementary boys’ basketball; junior high girls’ and junior high boys’ basketball coaching positions, new computers; possible tuition agreement.

The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, October 15, 2007,at 8:30 p.m. following the volleyball games.

The meeting adjourned.
