After lengthy discussion, Principal Todd Poelker said there had to
be something specific or it would be confusing and too difficult to
enforce. Times of arrival for students vary due to early bird
classes, breakfast and other activities. A decision was tabled for
further consideration by the committee.
When the issue was reintroduced at the meeting Monday, the board
voted to clarify the policy by stating that use of a cellphone must
cease when a student enters the building.
The board also approved employment of Shanan McLaughlin as
assistant girls basketball coach, Jennifer Keith and Laura Schonauer
as co-sponsors for Thespians, and Aimee Ellis as Scholastic Bowl
coach. The board received Andy McDonald's resignation from his
position as assistant baseball coach.
Comparisons were made between this year's freshmen class
enrollment and the tentative incoming enrollment of next year's
freshmen class, in order to evaluate the district's needs in
personnel and budget. The Logan County Economic Development Master
Plan was reviewed. No further action was taken on agenda items.
There will be a public hearing Nov. 21 at 6:45 p.m. on the
board's proposal to charge $150 for driver's education. The regular
monthly board meeting will follow at 7 p.m.
