Superintendent John Sayers said another class will be added to summer school. World History will be taught from May 31 to June 27, at $80 per student. The class will be taught by Glen Dillman. Huckstep said at least 21 students have signed up. Sayers added that taking the class in the summer will free up a period for those students during the school year, and it will allow Dillman to teach another section.

Sayers announced the resignation of Roger Mahrling as technology coordinator. He has accepted a position at Purdue University. His resignation is effective after the end of school, May 23.

The board approved a 25-year warranty on the new football lights that will be installed this summer. The cost of the warranty is $4,500. Sayers said this not only includes replacing burned out bulbs as they occur, but replacing all of the bulbs after seven years.

Miriam Robeson, school attorney, announced that the Advertising/Fund Raising Policy Committee has met over the past several months, and has come up with a draft that includes four policies: Sponsorship policy, Student and Student Organization Fund Raising, Advertising Program, and Raffles and other Fund Raising Games. The proposed policies will be posted on the corporation Website, and public comments are welcome.

Robeson chaired the committee. Other members were Kristen Arnett, Scott Ayres, Alice Benson, Mike Eikenberry, Charles Huckstep, Joe Moss, John Sayers, Carolyn O'Connell, Fred Schnarr, Desiray Simmons, and Jennifer Spesard. Board president Sam Zook also attended the meetings.

The superintendent announced two sports clinics. A softball clinic for third through eighth grades will be held May 20, with a cost of $20 per student. An elementary girls' basketball clinic will be held June 5-9, with a cost of $25 per student.

Huckstep said 118 students in grades four through eight came to the school for their sports physicals. Conducting the physicals were Dr. Mark Meyer, Dr. Alvan Eller, and Dr. Jordan Dutter.
