custodial staff should be commended for all their hard work.

Hutson, Blue Valley High School Science Instructor, and Annie Haefke,

in the district.
Principal Reports were noted. Jim McCormick, Tim Winter, and Brady
Burton informed the Board that they had attended a KIDS workshop in
Salina. Tim Winter also
explained that the district had lined up several junior varsity football
games. This is in part to there being a higher
number of boys out for football. It
will give some of the boys a chance to get more experience. Tim Winter also mentioned that the online
classes at the high school were going fairly well.
During his Superintendent’s
Report Brady Burton informed the Board about the KASB fall meeting
coming up on Thursday, October 22 at St. George Elementary School. If
any board members are interested in attending please contact the
district office to get registered. Brady Burton also wanted to let
the Board know that the flu has been circulating at the preschool. Two preschool staff members have presented flu-like symptoms
and are being treated for these symptoms. They
were not tested for H1N1. These
staff members are following district policy on returning to work. The
main thing is that preventative measures are being taken to alleviate
the spread. There is information on the district
website and the newsletter for patrons. Flu
is going to be prevalent this year therefore district policy needs
to be followed.
