After several months of parental pressure, the Clark County R-1 School Board finally settled the request to open the Running Fox school building earlier.
They said “No.”
At their August 8 board meeting, a motion was made to allow students into the building at 7:45am. The motion failed with a 1-5 vote, ending months of back and forth.
The board also approved updates to the student handbook at all school specifying that parents are responsible for their students outside of the buildings.
In other business, the board:
•Heard a report that all lighting at the High School has been converted to LED, except in the gym.
•Approved minor language changes to MSBA board policies.
•Approved the district literacy plan.
•Declared Bus #6, Bus #21, a 2010 Chrysler van and and 2003 GMC van as surplus property.
•Purchased two used school buses. Both are 2020 Internationals. One bus has 29,000 miles, and the other has 40,000 miles. The cost was $79,979 each.
New hires included:
•Kelsey Clifford-half-time social studies at Middle School

•Rob Schutte and Eric Rogers will split Transportation Director duties
•Jade Burke is the Junior Class sponsor.
