Ok, I haven't been sleeping on the job, just too busy with the family, the holiday and work to pull together the focus it requires to keep up with this blog. A new year's resolution is to keep this up-to-date.
Just a few items of note:
Ad Hoc Facilities Committee documents can be found here. The December meeting was cancelled due to snow so there isn't an update on any progress. The next meeting is Tuesday, Jan 6th (weather permitting!)
The 28 students on the Monona Grove Varsity Math Team won FIRST PLACE in the Madison math competition earlier this month. When will academic teams be greeted with the publicity and accolades of athletic teams?
At the last board meeting we received the report from the auditor for the 2007-8 fiscal year. The district received an "unqualified opinion": that is accountant speak for a positive review of the accuracy of district's accounting system. Mary Ellen VanValin deserves credit for managing a very well run financial system in the district.
McKinstry report a list of potential energy saving infrastructure investments totalling $2.7 million with an estimated payback period of 12 years. McKinstry would guarantee that the energy savings would exceed the costs of the repayment over a period of 15 years.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
