CUTEA Teacher Spotlight - Mr. Tucker was here to talk about the Lincoln Singers a brand new, volunteer-based program. There are 80 students 4th and 5th grade students that meet once a week on Thursday mornings before school. They have two concerts lined up in December (one being televised they are very excited about!) and will be performing the national anthem at several different sporting events throughout the year.
Public comments: Tanner Keeler and Hilary Maxwell would like to request another coach stipend for wrestling. To give each set of students (Boys Varsity, Girls Varsity, and JV) the attention they all need to succeed in wrestling, they need another coach to go with all the different groups. - New Business
