School Board Report: Larry Rhode said the school is implementing a lockdown policy where parents will be notified by text and email should an emergency occur at AC School.
The first basketball game will be in Moffit on Thursday, December the 8th @ 6:15 PM.
The shingle damage on the school building will not be covered by insurance. The adjuster said the damage was not due to hail but the shingles did not have enough asphalt so the ends were curling. As of now there is no damage to the roof. Frank Anderson will give the school an estimate on replacing the roof but the shingles are ok for now. The gutters are dented but do not leak so they will not be replaced now.
Zoning Board: C&K Auto update, Terry Mauch said approximately 250 have been hauled out.
