Warren School Board receives update on elementary school

Posted

The Warren School Board received updates on the progress of the new elementary school being constructed at the monthly meeting on Monday, March 13. Painting has begun inside the elementary school. The lighting is 90 percent complete. Exterior work on the elementary school was put on hold due to the weather.

Warren Superintendent Bryan Cornish told the school board Warren Mayor Gregg Reep sent a letter about the Warren Cultural Center repairs and to explore where the school district is on the cultural center. School board member Joey Cathey said he would want to see the original agreement the school district made with the city regarding the cultural center. Superintendent Cornish said it would be an “exploratory phase”.

The school board approved to extend the superintendent’s contract for another year.

The school board approved the 2023-2024 school calendar. The first day of school will be August 21. Superintendent Cornish said the date was moved a week later to give more time to move to the high school.

An approval was made to the updates to the Warren High School and Warren Middle School cheer constitution. The update increases the number of cheerleaders on from 13 to 16 on the team.

The school board accepted resignations from Amanda Ozment, Eastside Music Instructor; Savannah Patterson, Warren High School history instructor; Michael Brown, Warren High School math instructor; Madison Zalinski, Warren High School science instructor; and Gia Morse, Warren High School math instructor.

The next school board meeting will be at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 10 at the Warren School Administration Building.
