Assistant Editor Jerry Lindsey wrote the report.
The MCUSD #6 Board of Education was in full attendance, as it convened in the District Office on Monday, April 25, 2022.
The approved Consent Agenda included the hiring of Colin Wolf (1:1 Aide at Northside School) and Roger Barry (Custodian at Morrison High School.) Resignations were approved for Jason Banks (Varsity Basketball Coach), Sally Lindsey (Guidance Secretary), and Kolleen Pannier (Office Manager at Morrison Junior High School.)
The Agenda carried topics requiring the Board’s discussion without final approval being requested. Discussion item included: A) Southside grading policy; B) District Improvement Plan; C) Morrison Sports Complex. The Spots Complex usage for Morrison athletic events remains an issue without clarification and total understanding by all parties. Board member comments and questions exposed the need for the City of Morrison and The MCUSD #6 Board to consolidate their needs and intentions. They need to form a go-forward plan, that allows Morrison athletes the luxury of participating at a quality facility.
