Funding Issues:
Michele Schutta stated we have an additional $ 3,500.00 available as the full amount approved to the P.E department in the amount of. $ 10,000.00 was not fully utilized. The treadmills were not needed. Steve Diversey reported the treadmills were not approved based on electrical restrictions and the possibility of a new weight room being looked into with the addition.
Several issues on our wish lists were not being recommended by Steve Diversey per his meetings with coaches and what the school actually needs at this time. The new scoreboard for the football field was not approved by the school district. Thus purchasing via Side Effects is not an option right now. So we are looking at Nevco and what scoreboard options they have. Steve is trying to determine what funds his department has left to apply to the purchase of the scoreboard. He has $ 8,200.00 left in his budget from 2015 and will then add what he has left from his 2016 budget. The grounds crew will donate what they can. Would the Boosters be willing to donate as much as they can? If we contribute $ 20,000.00 to the scoreboard and with a few other minor expenditures, we will have approximately $ 5,149.00 left in our checking account not including funds designated for other already approved expenses. There is a message board optional addition that costs $ 14,900.00 plus to install would be another $ 2,600.00. This optional addition can be added at a later date as long as we include the panel options at the bottom of the score board.
Kathy Drescher motions to approve $ 20,000.00 to donate towards the new score board, Tracy Kries seconded; approved unanimously.
Michele Schutta summarized our funding grants to all the sports for the 2015/2016 school year. It details the amounts spent on camps/tournaments vs. equipment.
Athletic Director Report : Steve Diversey reports
We are moving forward with the first phase of the construction project. The muddy grassy area outside the gym doors by the football field parking lot will be tackled first. It is out for quote now for the CAD room, weight room, music room expansion and Driver’s Ed area are all possibilities. This project does not require the referendum to be passed. Phase I would possibly be done the 2017-2018 school year. The larger section of the field house will need to be funded by passing a referendum.
Steve is still looking for a cheer and a soccer coach. We don’t have certain positions open until after the June school board meeting. We are not getting strong applications submitted for the open positions.
