Several patrons were in attendance and asked questions about the need for cooping sports and wanting details on how the coop would be implemented. Many of the details have not been finalized, but the agreement would probably operate similar to the junior high sports coop. The sports coop would be the beginning step in bringing the two districts together to increase both the academic and activity opportunities for students. In new business, the board reviewed curriculum and personnel needs for 2015-16. Head custodian Matt Kai prepared a list of buildings and grounds needs. In other new business the board adopted the school calendar for 2015-16 with the first student day of school set for August 17.
