The Board immediately entered into a Work Session where they discussed the timeline for quarterly deck reports and high school course enrollment data. The board also discussed the need and options available for an activities complex that will be discussed at a future date.
 
As there was no further business to come before the Board at this time, a Motion was made by Michelle Bahr to adjourn the Special Meeting/Work Session at 8:15 p.m.  Ann Staiert seconded the Motion. All voted “aye”.
Motion carried.
