MENTONE - Every July, the Tippecanoe Valley School Board reorganizes.
Monday, the board did just that, but kept the officers the same.
Mark Wise unanimously was reapproved as board president; Hal D. Hoffman as vice president; and Rod Eaton as secretary. Debra Baumgartner was reappointed as treasurer and Linda Murphy as deputy treasurer for the school corporation. Dr. Francisco Negreros, Akron, was appointed as the corporation's physician.
Meetings will be at 7:30 p.m. on the second Monday of every month in the board meeting room at Mentone Elementary School. Each school in the school corporation will host at least one of the monthly meetings, except Burket, which will host one meeting in the fall and one in the spring.
The board approved several administrative and head coaches contract extensions to June 30, 2006, including Brett Boggs, Akron principal; Tippecanoe Valley Middle School assistant principal Jeff France; superintendent Daniel Kramer; Tippecanoe Valley High School assistant principal Rod McKee; director of special services Cheryl Meyers; curriculum coordinator/teacher Angie Miller; Mentone principal Catherine Miller; TVHS principals Mike Overmyer and Earl Richter; athletic director Duane Burkhart; head football coach Scott Bibler; assistant athletic director Doug Heinold; head boys basketball coach Bill Patrick; and head girls basketball coach Gary Teel.
David A. Mankowski, senior project manager for The Skillman Corp., recommended the TVSC board accept the voluntary alternative bid by Morris & Sons for Geoflex roofing for the TVHS improvement project. Cost savings are estimated at $135,000 and the roof comes with a 20-year manufacturer's warranty. After some discussion, the board approved the recommendation.
Upcoming board meetings are Aug. 2, budget work session, Mentone Elementary School, 7:30 p.m.; Aug. 9, regular meeting, Mentone Elementary School, 7:30 p.m.; Aug. 26, budget hearing, 7:30 p.m.
