The Spring Hill School Board met in the Elementary School conference room on Monday (9-23). After a prayer the minutes from the previous meeting were approved as was the financial report

For the Elementary School there wis an enrollment of 335. A new testing screener should be available on October 15th. There will be parent teacher conferences on October 17th and there will be no school that day.

The high school has an enrollment total of 273. A lot of the students will be involved in the District Fair this week. There will be an assembly on October 14th.

For the fixed assets list it will be possible to put iMac computers up for sale. A motion to do so passed.

A choice of two buses was discussed. The newer bus which had six more seats and has air conditioning already installed was chosen. A motion passed to purchase a 2020 Thomas bus which will replace bus #19. The question was raised about the purchase of a warranty for the bus. It comes with a thirty-day warranty which the board deemed was enough.

There was an $8,000 expenditure passed. This was for Southwest Arkansas Educational Cooperative for 24-25 Educational Examiner and the district will be reimbursed later.

A Contract Disclosure Form for KW Electric was passed. Jutt Curtis’s wife is employed with the District.

An authorization for an electronic payment document was approved by the Board to be put on file.

A well pump and the stadium sound system were both damaged in a lightning strike on August 29th. The pump cost $13,000 to repair and will be covered by insurance. The new pump was promptly received and is installed and operational. As both items were hit at the same time the district will only have to pay one $5,000 deductible. The district is waiting for reimbursement from the insurance company.

The district is looking to set up trap shooting. As it won’t be in school property a lawyer will need to be consulted. If land needs to be purchased it will need to be at least two acres.

The Board went into executive session and after reconvening the meeting adjourned.
