Nau noted the activities and events going on at the Elementary since the last Board Meeting. Nau remarked that Ms. Lankford shared her IEFA information with every class at the Elementary. The annual Easter Egg Hunt provided lots of fun to the young children of the community thanks to Mrs. Dunk’s class for preparing the eggs, and Mrs. Fauque and the Student Council for hiding the eggs, providing the Easter Bunny and helping to run the event. Nau thanked her for doing a great job. Prin Nau gave results of the JHBB Tourney that was held in Sunburst Apr 6-8. Thanks to all the coaches, staff and parents for helping to make this activity a success and to the students and athletes for representing our school so well. Special thanks to Mrs. Ryan for organizing and running the tourney. Thanks also went out to Mrs. Kerfoot and Mrs. Fauque for the trips that they organized for several groups of students. Pre-School Screening was held and at this time we have 9 students signed up for Kindergarten next year. Thanks to Mrs. Nau, Mrs. Griffin, Mrs. Kerfoot, Mrs. Jaeger and Mrs. McAlpine for their efforts. The track program started with 11 athletes out for this sport. Missoula Children’s’ Theatre began this week with 58 K-8 Students and 4 HS Students participating. Midterm ended on the 18th and the grades went out today. There is a party planned for LeeAnn Walls, who is moving to Saco, and Robin Johannsen, Star Fritz, and Jeanne Fairhurst, who are all three retiring from their positions. Unfortunately with May being a busy month, the party is going to be held on May 21st, which is the same night as the May Board Meeting.



Superintendent Report:

  1. Athletics/Activities Update: High School golf and track season is underway. The track team is doing really well, the four girls on the Girls Golf Team have all qualified for the State Tournament and some of the boys on the Boys Golf Team are getting close to qualifying. Amanda Becker gave an account of how the HS students rated at the Regional and State Science Fairs with all students receiving a blue or purple ribbon at Regionals, silver or gold awards at State, and numerous special awards received at both fairs. Tami Hauschulz reported that all the students who participated in the District Music Festival did a great job. There are 20 students who qualified to compete at the State Music Festival with solos and groups. Russ Biniek noted that the HS Track team are young but doing a good job. Each meet ends with several personal bests. The Girl’s Relay Team took a 2nd place at the most recent meet. Biniek also asked the Board if they would consider allowing a Cross-County Track Team to be formed in the fall. In the absence of Anjeanette Haas, Nancy Linnell noted that there were 16 FCCLA members who qualified to compete at the State FCCLA Conference and all placed in each of their events; however none of them qualified for the National Conference. There is one student who will be traveling to the National Conference because he is a State Officer. Natalie Kerfoot remarked that earlier this evening two students were inducted into the National Honor Society. Nancy Linnell also announced that the Junior Class was allowed to take the ACT Test here at the high school at no cost to the students due to a grant to cover the costs. Linnell also thanked the students of Mrs. Smith and Ms. Haas for providing snacks and lunch to the junior class during their breaks.

Discussion held. Jim Nagy made a motion to approve of the Corrective Action reports. Jason Hanson seconded the motion. All voted in favor and the motion was carried.

  2. Stricter Academic Expectations: Supt Tharp discussed with the Board the need for stricter disciplinary actions for the students seem to attend school only for social reasons and are not passing many classes. The Board agreed to the need for stricter punishments and asked Tharp to present to the Board language to support this need to add to the handbooks. Tharp stated that he would present this information at future Board Meetings. Tharp also mentioned that the MHSA rules only require that a student must be passing only four classes in the previous semester. Even going by these rules, we still have students ineligible.
