Jill Fulkerson stated that she had attended a Legislative Meeting and voiced concern over some proposed legislation concerning school finances and a possible mandate that school buses be electric by 2028. She also updated the board on the large amount of students involved in extra curricular activities this Spring. The gym lobby remodel project is being reconsidered after the bid came in at $1.62 million. She said that some work will still be completed on the project. Assistant Principal Robert Wells updated the board on Summer School for FCHS students. He said that at this time 47 students are eligible for Summer School and several teachers had expressed interest in leading the classes.
