Superintendent’s Report
Mr. Jensen reported on the following:
  • The school year end went very well.  Mr. Jensen commended Mr. Tappe, the Staff, and Students for the productive last week of school and the Ashby Day of Caring.
  • There are four summer projects outside of regular maintenance that will be completed:  re-caulk the joints on the south face of the old building;  construct a secure storage on the stage for equipment and materials;  replacement the Ag shop sink;  and upgrade the sound system in the upper Gym.
  • The Ag Classroom will be relocated to room 151 to accommodate the larger Junior High Classes.  The former Ag Classroom will serve as an extra classroom.
  • The install of the upgraded WiFi system is on the summer schedule.  However, we have not heard if the e-rate reimbursement has been approved.

  • Starting this summer and continuing into the school year we are anticipating significant replacement of obsolete software and hardware in the server room.
