REPORTS
Superintendent Report
1. Orientation for Austin Koons, new student representative, will occur on September 8th so he
will be prepared for the September 14th Board Meeting. He is an outstanding student and
will bring a lot to the Board. He also was one of the students who went to South Korea to
visit Duvall’s sister city.
2. A handout was shared on new staff and building moves for the upcoming school year.
3. He thanked Dan Pflugrath for agreeing to provide the board welcome at the All Staff
Welcome Back on August 26th.
4. To date our enrollment numbers are approximately 10 less than budgeted. Hopefully, we
will have more students enroll this week since the construction may have delayed families
from enrolling at Cherry Valley and Carnation Elementary Schools. I will send the School
Board a tentative enrollment count on the first day of school. The enrollment for the fourth
day of school is the actually date that counts for our September enrollment.
