Board Highlights

The board met in regular session last evening. The members of the Webster 4th grade Math Bowl Team were honored for their 1st place finish in the district competition. The elementary handbook for 2005-2006 was reviewed.

John Shultz gave his yearly report from the technology department. He shared the status of the goals of the previous year and the goals that the department set for the next year. Jon reported Plymouth schools had 600 computers in service in January of 1998. Today we have 1,347.

Dan Tyree gave a five year ISTEP report. He reviewed progress that has been made in English/Language Arts, Mathematics and Science ISTEP scores.

The board accepted bids for Phase II in the amount of $12,535,386.00. A change order for -$78,598.00 will be written to one contract which brings the total project construction cost to $12,502,045.00. This amount is $33,341.00 below the construction document estimate.

The two year delay has cost the district approximately $1.5 million dollars for Phase II alone.

The next board meeting will be on April 21, 2005 at Jefferson Elementary at 7:00 p.m.
