BOURBON - Triton School Board members learned Monday that funds they set aside to fix up an old brick wall fell a little short.
Superintendent Rex Roth said the corporation set aside $3,000 to fix up a brick wall on Harris Street this summer. The wall is in front of the area where the old elementary school was previously located. Roth said the plot is now a playground.
Roth informed board members Monday a "ballpark figure" to fix up the brick wall is approximately $25,000.
No decisions were made Monday, only discussion among school board members.
In other business, the board:
• Approved the following: a maternity leave request from Eileen Mariani, junior high science teacher; sick leave for Kay Keiser; a resignation from Jan Woudema as the junior high track coach; Sisteen Christian to replace Woudema and Tamra Dominique as a junior high track volunteer.
• Granted permission to Roth to apply for state and federal grants.
"We do this every year," Roth said.
• Roth informed board members the school corporation received $2,267 in federal snow removal assistance from December.
• All board members plan to attend an upcoming regional Indiana School Boards Association meeting in Plymouth.
• Roth said the new school bus garage is "pretty well" completed. The school corporation is waiting on a roof warranty - the last item of business with the project.
Roth said the school corporation was given $150 credit for electrical boxes in the garage.
• The biannual lunchroom review report was given. Roth said it was a "pretty good report."
• The board also accepted several donations for the school's athletic department and approved an art club field trip to Cedar Point June 6.
Triton School Board members are: president Steve Blackford, vice president Steve Feldman, secretary Larry Lemler, Dave Shively and Kevin Boyer. Superintendent is Rex Roth. Corporation treasurer is Janet Barker.
