SUPERINTENDENT REPORT

There were quite a few interested bidders who attended. They will open bids a week from Wednesday. Bill Woodard asked Michael if he had received the geo-thermal report for the new high school site. Michael said that he has not received it yet, but he knew it was coming soon. He said he was told that the heat transfer was not as good as the engineer had initially hoped, but it is an easy site to drill, leading to a potentially cost-effective solution.

DISCUSSION ITEMS
LRA Multi-District Provider StatusAsha Riley told the Board that LRA had been approved by the state as Multi-District Provider. We are now one of 5 programs in the State that can serve more than 10% of students from outside of our boundary in grades K-12, and the only one in Southwest Washington. She is working on developing inter-district agreements. LRA will next seek full accreditation status.
Yale Project Status and Schedule UpdateMichael told the Board he had been very busy working on the Yale Gym project, since the last Board meeting. Eric Lanciault, Architect, gave the Board an update on the project. He showed the Board the updated design, which included decorative half cylinders, reflective of the forest. Due to seismic requirements, they will not be able to use existing trusses. They are working aggressively to keep on schedule. He said, if the project is not complete by October 15th, he is confident that it will be partially completed so that students may use the gym. Construction is scheduled to begin right after July 4th. The Board discussed the update.
