Mr. Rush presented a proposal for renovations/addition to the Ag shop during the regular meeting of the North Daviess R-3 Board of Education held July 18. The board approved spending $15,000 for Ag shop repairs and window replacement at the elementary and high school building. The $15,000 is to be spent from the $25,000 capital improvements money that was set aside by the school board on June 18, 2002. The window replacement will begin immediately, but the Ag project will need to be presented to the board at the August board meeting with bids to be approved.
Mr. Willhite reported on summer projects which have been completed in both buildings. Replacement of the Ag Shop roof will begin next week.
A contract was offered to Angie Baker for school nursing services; to Mary Anno Martin for first and second grade; and to Kate Block for vision consulting.
Extra assignments were offered as presented. Coaching contracts are contingent upon having teams.

The board accepted the following bids: MFA Oil for bus fuel; Anderson Erickson Dairy for milk products; A 1 Economy Fire Protection for fire extinguisher service; Chuck’s Pest Control for pest control service; Onyx for waste removal service; and Missouri Gas Utility for natural gas with all propane service to be switched over to natural.
