Unfinished Business:
Item a. Mr. Deal mailed a request for a waiver from Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction for the four snow days beginning January 28 through February 1, 2008. On January 31, 2008, Governor Gregoire declared a State of Emergency Proclamation for the county we reside in which is Whitman County. The only requirement is the 1,000-hour minimum for instructional hours has not been waived. We are 65 hours over that for the high school and more for the grade school. Discussion held. Item b. Mr. Lindgren said that there is still a possibility we could be 1B because of Tekoa's SOARS students. If we have to go to 2B, we will be looking at a combined 1B-2B league involving all District #9 schools with a north-south division split. Discussion held.
Cap Perry moved to have the T-O-R Coop stay with District #9 because of the kids. If we go south for games in Dist. #9, there is much better weather for games and games would be able to be held earlier in the spring season. There is not much difference between going north or south as far as miles go. Discussion held. Motion passed unanimously by the Board.
Item c. Ken Lindgren gave his February Athletic Director report: JH Volleyball was snowed out for quite a few matches. Makeup matches are being held this and next week. High School Cheer has been absolutely wonderful this year. There has been no problems like previous years. The girl's basketball team had a good season. It was too bad they did not make it out of District. Whitman County girl's teams took 1st, 2ns, 3rd, and 4th place at State B. Our girls had a 3.88 grade point average for the highest gpa in the state. The boy's basketball had a super finish to their season by playing in the State B championship game in Yakima, WA. They lost by 1 point. Our boy's basketball team was involved in the Teaming Up program with elementary students. Our boy's spent time talking to them about good grades, sportsmanship, diabetes and other items. They even played a little basketball with the kids. Mr. Lindgren also said Baseball started
Item c. today; softball will start Wednesday; track on Thursday and Golf next week. Discussion held.
Item d.
