that the principals had submitted recommendations for textbook rental. It was noted that this was a nonprofit part of the school funding and that such fees were needed. A motion was made by Dave Hostetler and seconded by Dan Patrick to approve the textbook rental charges as recommended by the superintendent and respective building principals. The motion passed five to one with Jean Ann Beem voting against the motion. Dr. Murray noted during discussion that the board may want to consider exploring class fees to cover costs such as materials for laboratory classes and that many schools utilize this type of system for charges. Dr. Murray said that while this does not add an extreme amount of burden to the students, it does provide some relief in terms of buying materials for classes such as workshop classes, art classes and other laboratory type classes. Dr. Murray also noted that while this process involves some additional bookkeeping at the corporation level and building level, that in the long run it was something that the board needed in the back of their minds for future evaluation. 5. Chapter One, Marilyn Lightfoot Walkerton Elementary principal Marilyn Lightfoot reported to the board that the Chapter One report had been completed and the John Glenn School Corp, would be receiving 5126,521.26 for the upcoming school year. Mrs. Lightfoot noted that this would involve adding some faculty and staff as per the outlined program. Mrs. Lightfoot indicated that she needed board approval to submit the forms to the state. Dr. Murray recommended to the board that they take action to approve the Chapter One report as submitted by Mrs. Lightfoot. The motion was made by Dan Patrick to accept the Chapter One report as recommended by the superintendent. The motion was seconded by Dave Hostetler. The motion passed five to one. 6.

by Shirley Ross needed their approval to be submitted to the state. This report includes funding for equipment relating to audiovisual and media student services. A motion was made by Dan Patrick and seconded by Gene Knowlton to accept the Chapter Two report as submitted by Shirley ross and recommended by the superintendent. The motion passed six to zero. The superintendent noted that that report would include $10,803.00 for various equipment relating to media, computer and audiovisual student services. 7. Superintendent’s Report a. Joint effort Dr. Murray indicated that she had met with John Peddycord, Dave Holmes, Gene Reese, Greg Williams and Gene Knowlton in regard to the joint effort. Dr. Murray noted to the board that Mr. Peddycord is drawing up a tentative agreement to be further evaluated to determine items such as the term of the lease, maintenance, ownership of various equipment, etc. In addition. Dr. Murray indicated that she had notified Rick Glassman of the Soil and Water Conservation Dept, and that he would be working with her to develop the trail area for utilization by students and science classes. Dr. Murray said that she was waiting for a response from Greg Williams because he was working on obtaining assistance from the St. Joseph Park Dept, for similar services. b. Performance based award money, JGHS Dr. Murray noted that as per the reports submitted to Mike Shuler, John Glenn High School would be spending performance based award money as listed. Dr. Murray indicated to the board that if no concerns existed, that the plan would go as submitted. c. Athletic insurance Dr. Murray noted that the board packet contained a summary of area schools and insurance coverages for athletes. Dr. Murray indicated that during the last school year she had received concerns from parents that main-

tained their own insurance because the school insurance was not effective. Dr. Murray said that she was waiting on information as to the cost of adding the athletic insurance to the 24 hour coverage for a more cost effective policy. Dr. Murray indicated that she had some concerns about mandating that parents maintain insurance that they did not need. She asked the board to give that strong consideration. Dr. Murray noted that she would talk to Mr. Peddycord about a legal document that would be binding to prevent action against the school board other than negligence that would hold the school corporation responsible for insurance costs for uninsured students. d. Department of the Army letter Dr. Murray read a letter to the board that included an invitation from the Department of the United States Army inviting the John Glenn High School Band to place a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetary. Dr. Murray indicated that this was a privilege for the John Glenn students to be involved in this ceremony and that the community should be proud of this opportunity. Dr. Murray congratulated Mr. Fortlander on this invitation.
