   Superintendent's Report:
   Enjoyed being able to spend time in the Comp 2 classes for presentations from students on ways to improve the high school.
   Thankful for the staff and community on their creativity for providing enrichment for students after school such as Futsal, Enrichment STEM program, Math Club at LGS, and Cake Decorating at LGS.
   Shared a magazine mailer that goes out to all Jasper County families. This is possibly a good idea we could follow.
   The soccer field needs its own scoreboard but it could also be used for multiple events.
   IHSA has let us know that shot clocks will be required on scoreboards for basketball soon and we currently do not have them. Looking into companies to replace those.
   Considering splitting the cheerleading season into a fall team and a winter team as it is the longest season for our students. Also, possibly looking into a competitive cheer team.
   The female wrestlers would like to separate from their male team mates and have their own wrestling team.
