The board of education will listen to any concerns about this project from our community.  This is not a time for two way communication, but rather a time for the community to address the board on this subject.

RAGBRAI SUPPORT LETTER
Motion 3.A.
Linda Washburn has requested that the School support efforts to bring RAGBRAI to Glenwood for 2011.  She is in need of a letter of support from the school district indicating that we support these efforts as well as pledge our facilities for use during RAGBRAI.  I do not know the history of this in our community.  I have been associated with the planning of an overnight stay for RAGBRAI as well as a pass through town.

FIBER OPTIC WIDE AREA NETWORK
Motion 4.A.
Technically the board has already approved this project, but we are sort of out of step with how we need to proceed with the project.  After hearing from our community on this project in the Public Hearing portion, the board may consider to move forward with the project or not. In the future we will ensure that the proper steps have been taken in the proper order. I am recommending approving the project based on the attached scope and specifications from the architect.  I would like to advertise for competitive bids to be opened prior to our August 9th Board meeting.
