The Lincolnview Board of Education heard several presentations and approved a number of routine items during Monday night\u2019s monthly meeting.<\/p>\n

During his report to the board, superintendent Jeffrey Snyder touched on recent school delays and closings caused by dense fog.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no easy method of how to cancel or delay school,\u201d Snyder said. \u201cThere\u2019s no exact science.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snyder thanked the board for the purchase of new digital bus radios, which have a 120 square mile coverage radius, and he said the district remains in need of substitute bus drivers.<\/p>\n

Two Lincolnview High School students made brief presentations to board members. One of those was senior Alana Looser, who had high praise an ACT prep course offered by the school.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really beneficial for me because it helped me gain confidence to answer the questions on the test,\u201d Looser said. \u201cI would recommend it to other students, because it did increase my scores.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lincolnview High School Brad Mendenhall said the school offers the course for $50, which is much less than outside sources.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really proud that we\u2019ve taken this initiative to help kids and bump their ACT scores,\u201d Mendenhall said. \u201cOver the past couple years, we really have seen some incredible results.”<\/p>\n

Junior Gabby Perkins told the board about a recent Hugh O\u2019Brien Youth Leadership conference she attended in Ada, with the focus being drugs and bullying.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a program set up, including the steps to take, and I\u2019m looking forward to starting it at the school sometime,\u201d Perkins said.<\/p>\n

Over a dozen Lincolnview F.F.A. students will be attending the National F.F.A. Convention in Indianapolis October 24-27, after the board approved the trip.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be traveling with Crestview, Parkway and Wayne Trace,\u201d F.F.A. Advisor Jordan Dues explained. \u201cWe have some tours scheduled a little further than Indianapolis, with the big ticket item being the John Deere factory in Moline, Illinois.”<\/p>\n

The board hired Kaitlyn Brant as girls\u2019 seventh grade basketball coach, Matt Evans as boys\u2019 eighth grade basketball coach, Benji Byrne as boys\u2019 freshmen basketball coach, and Stacie Korte as Drama Club advisor.<\/p>\n

Treasurer Troy Bowersock informed the board that state foundation funding is up about $24,000, due to casino revenue, and he said gave an update on free and reduced lunches.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe free count is down slightly and reduced is up a little, so I anticipate that some free lunches went to reduced status,\u201d Bowersock said.<\/p>\n

The next meeting of the Lincolnview Board of Education is scheduled for 6 p.m. October 25 in the Neubrecht Lecture Hall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
