IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE IN FIGURING OUT HOW TO FILL OUT THE PAPERWORK AND WHAT NECESSARY STEPS TO TAKE, LET ME KNOW AND I WILL BE GLAD TO ASSIST YOU!** THE FILING DEADLINE IS COMING UP IN JULY!!

The regular June board meeting for the ESC was held on June 23rd at 5 PM, with all board members in attendance.
The following were meeting highlights:

The board voted to approve the contract with Nordmann Roofing to re-roof the Shuer Center (where Challenger Learning is held). The bid came in at just under $400,000 - the best bid for what we had decided was the optimal system for us at this place and time. This is to start shortly - so watch for a new and improved Shuer Center by the time the leaves change color in the fall.

We reviewed the performance of the Superintendent, Sandra Frisch, and Treasurer, Richard Cox. Both were found to be meeting or exceeding expectations in every category. It was noted that Mary Taylor, State Auditor, had paid a visit to Mr. Cox with very high praise for his work at the ESC.

The board elected President Joe Rutherford to be the delegate at the annual OSBA business meeting in Columbus in November (Nov. 8-11). I was elected as alternate.

It was noted that The Highlighter, our quarterly newsletter, is now an online publication; this saves considerable cost for our organization. Due to its infrequent publication schedule, sometimes the information in the highlighter is somewhat dated, and this difficulty was discussed.

The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 14 at 5 PM at the Collingwood Center (2275 Collingwood - come and visit!).
