New convection ovens for high school and elementary are in at Sunflower Restaurant Supply in Salina and will be installed as soon as school is out. The new convection steamer is working well at the high school.

Updates have been made at the elementary on boiler controls and they now can also be controlled by the Jace for HVAC.

Rock Hills will be the host site for a Jackie Stiles Basketball Camp on June 11.

1. Building relationships (both peers and teachers)

2. Literacy

There have been issues with the radio communication in the buses. It is an antilog system with an antenna on the tower just east of the junior-senior high school. The administration has checked to see what it would take to fix the communication issues - a new antenna and wire and to hire someone to climb the tower to install them. The estimated cost is $8,200. The district is required to have communication in the buses and it can’t be a cellphone. What repair needs to be done to fix the current issues and can still be used when the district is required to move to digital radio system. Once the FCC gives notice, the district will have 10 years to switch over. If the conversion was made today, it would cost more than $26,000.

Repair are being made on the stadium seating boards.The welcome rain slowed the process.
