The Lincolnview Board of Education moved quickly through a light agenda during Wednesday night\u2019s regular monthly meeting.<\/p>\n

In less than one hour, the board wrapped up year-end business and looked ahead to 2017.<\/p>\n

Board members honored members and coaches of the Lincolnview High School cross country team for placing 20th at last month\u2019s state tournament, and also praised students in grades 3-12 for outstanding winter concert presentations.<\/p>\n

Treasurer Troy Bowersock said expenditures have been steady, but also\u00a0noted that, with colder weather here, costs will increase for gas, electric, and snow removal.<\/p>\n

Superintendent Jeff Snyder noted that, so far this year, 16 hours of school have been missed due to delays or closures. Once that number hits 57, students and staff will need to start making up time missed, he explained.<\/p>\n

Snyder said the decision to delay or close school is based on several different factors, and added that the decision isn\u2019t always an easy one.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do communicate with other districts and have conversations to see what they might be doing and thinking,\u201d Snyder said. \u201cThat goes for fog, ice, and snow, and everything in between.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy no means are we going to put any of our kids in jeopardy,\u201d Snyder added.<\/p>\n

Snyder also thanked people who attended two recent meetings to learn more about a proposed new 33,000-square-foot multipurpose community center planned at the school, and he said a third meeting may be scheduled sometime after the holidays.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still gathering emails and things like that before we decide where we go next, in terms of that potential project,\u201d Snyder said. \u201cThere is no time period to make a decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf anybody in the community feels they want to come in and have a discussion with myself or Mr. Bowersock, we welcome that,\u201d Snyder added.<\/p>\n

The board was also reminded of several upcoming important dates, including the elementary Spelling Bee in the elementary cafeteria at 1 p.m. Friday, the elementary talent show at 1:30 p.m. December 20, and Christmas vacation, which begins December 21 and runs through January 2.<\/p>\n
