Discussion

Mr. Kinmon noted that attendance is still down this month but there has been some progress at DHS. Most of the absences are due to students out sick.

He discussed the energy utilization report and noted that we were able to save money even with the cost increases in the winter. Overall, we have saved $6,256. LES is the main concern due to the fact that we are unable to regulate the heating/air system at night like we can at DHS.

Lastly, he mentioned that the student based Health Center will now be operating two times a week instead of one.
