Litchfield School Board Meeting

The Litchfield School board approved of the sale of the construction trades house which was sold during an online auction for $142,000. Proceeds from the house sale go back into the industrial technology program at Litchfield High School.

Business Manager Jesse Johnson told the School Board last night that this year’s house sale resulted in a profit of $26,222. He says this was the last house for instructor John Spanos who deserves a big thanks for his dedication to the program for so many years, as does Gary Hein who was passionate about it in its earlier years prior to his passing away.

The Litchfield School Board approved of a change of meeting dates in November due to Veterans Day. The Board will meet on November 12th instead of November 11th. The Board approved of a resolution calling for an election on November 5th when three School Board members will be elected to 4-year terms.

The Litchfield School Board approved of a resolution accepting donations including $7,000 from the VFW for Litchfield High School for new baseball uniforms; $500 from the MN Darkhouse & Angling – West Central Chapter – for Litchfield High School for the Trap Team; and $200 from Matt & Darci Johnson for Litchfield High School for the Vocal Club.

Also last night, Supt. Susan Burris gave the Litchfield School Board a report on the staff workshop schedule for August 26th through the 29th. Business Manager Jesse Johnson updated the Board on the summer projects – including the south parking lot and new tennis courts at Litchfield High School – with work expected to be finished by August 16th.
