We are proposing to make changes to the copier contract to save money.  We will discontinue the maintenance contract of individual printers and upkeep.  We will save $18,982.81 per year on average.  Printing to desk copiers is the most expensive means of making copies.  We will add 2 new copiers while moving others to new locations.  The 2 new copiers and papercut software will cost $30,733.00.   Teachers will have access to their copies at any copier in any building via their identification badge.  Printing to the local copiers are more economical.  

The 3rd grade teacher at FBCS will take their students to Audubon State Park on May 15, 2025. The trip across state lines requires board approval.  

With our discussion for future phases, we determined we would continue following the current pattern of alternating between Haubstadt and Owensville.  With Owensville Phase 2 taking place this summer, Haubstadt Phase 3 is ready for design.  The team discussed and determined it makes the most sense to proceed with renovating the HVAC systems in the remaining classroom wings and the central office.  This will also allow for the project to be split up into three approximately equal sizes via alternates.  

The goal is to begin design in April, go out to bid at the end of July, award in September, and order all major equipment before the end of the year. 

Attached is Hafer's proposal for engineering services for this Phase 3 work. 

If the board desires, we could manage late season weather related make up games on Wednesday.  We try to avoid the use of Wednesday's but there are times we cannot avoid the day.  We would also check on the date instruction ends for students in the evenings, which frees up usage.
