SPECIAL RECOGNITION - STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES: Student Representatives Dan Dormady and Jamie Wachter were recognized and thanked for their contribution to the board this year. Mr. Dormady will be graduating this year and Miss Wachter will be continuing as a student representative next year.

STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES’ REPORT: The Student Representatives reported on the status of Spring sports at LHS. All teams were progressing through various district, regional, and state competitions. This year there was an 85% turnout for spring sports.

SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT: Mr. Green updated the board on the bond results. The count as of election night (the day prior to the board meeting) was 59.556% yes votes for Spokane County and 60.161% yes votes for Stevens County. The count would be updated on Friday (May 19, 2007), at which time, Mr. Green felt he should have a pretty clear picture on where the vote stands. Because of this, Mr. Green recommended delaying the vote on reboundary (Item XI.) until the first of the following week and to schedule a Special Meeting at that time to discuss either the reboundary or listen to presentations from bonding companies.

A special meeting was set for Monday, May 21, 2007, at 7:00 PM in the Library at Lakeside High School.
