Board of Education

This week I went to the Talawanda School District Board of Education meeting as the League of Women Voters representative. 

Various procedural Items were addressed. The recently elected members were sworn in and Mr. Butterfield and Dr. Crowder were elected President and Vice President of the board.  Board members were appointed as liaisons for the year. Dr. Roberts and Dr. Crowder were appointed academic liaisons and will submit quarterly reports.  Mr. Butterfield and Mr. Otto were appointed athletic liaison and will submit quarterly reports. Ms. Vollmer will continue as the Butler Tech liaison and Dr. Roberts will continue as the legislation liaison both submitting monthly reports.  Members also selected buildings for which they will represent the board at various functions.

The issue that interested me the most was the building of a new Kramer.  I wondered how they could build and pour concrete with the freezing cold and the snow. Evidently they raise tents and have heaters there to keep the ground an even temperature and things moving on a schedule. Of course the next day I had to go by Kramer to see what he was talking about.  But I only saw plastic flapping in the breeze no big tents.
