The superintendent’s Report included:  Enrollment for September was 93 students K-8^th grade and 10 students in preschool.  A discussion was held to whether we had room for more preschool students and how it would affect the budget.  At this time we do not currently have the class space for more preschool students.  The School Board would like to thank Mr. Roger Barlow for power washing the basketball court outside and the new paint and nets for the goals.  The court looks great.  MAP and Terra Nova scores were presented to the Board in a PowerPoint presentation.  The Annual Performance Report was also discussed with Skyline meeting all areas except middle school communication arts.  Everyone is invited to attend the annual PTO Fall Carnival scheduled for October 31, 2008 to be held in the Skyline gym.
