The Delphi Community School Corporation was unable to hold its scheduled monthly business meeting of the Board of School Trustees Monday night because of a lack of a quorum. Board president Robert Resler announced, at what should have been the beginning of the meeting, four of the seven board members were unable to attend.

Although there was no formal meeting, a report by teacher Tammy Lewellan about the high-ability secondgrade classroom was heard. She said her students enjoyed both discovering and discussing current events each day. Lewellen reported the students also enjoyed reading, spelling and exercise an expanded vocabulary.

The instructor said students write joint stories by sharing a lap top for each story with everyone making contributions. They also have Spanish lessons three days each week.

Lewellen stated recess time presents the largest challenge for the students. She said they prefer to interact with adults and not play during that time.

Superintendent Ralph Walker reported, in response to a previous question, the corporation received a 67 percent electronic rate of reimbursement from Verizon. He said the refund required a request to be processed. Walker said the corporation received a more than $38,000 discount in 2008.

Board members Bill Trueblood, Chris Nipple and Resler rescheduled the monthly meeting for Thursday at 8:30 p.m. An executive session will immediately follow the business meeting.
