Litchfield School Board Meeting
The Litchfield School Board gave its approval last night for a Middle School trip to Washington, DC this summer. World Classrooms, based in Aberdeen, South Dakota would coordinate the trip – scheduled for July 17-to-20 for 6th through 8th grade students.
Middle School Principal Chelsea Brown will continue working on the idea. The tour would include stops at the Capitol Building, Arlington National Cemetery, war memorials, Smithsonian museums, Gettysburg, Mount Vernon and more.
The Litchfield School Board heard a report last night from Business Manager Jesse Johnson regarding the 5-year financial forecast and planning. Johnson presented general fund budget projections for enrollment, revenues and expenses and says some strategic moves now will help avoid future budget shortfalls.
The Board heard from Superintendent Susan Burris that the Litchfield High School Dragonaires and 8th grade choir will be performing on Friday for the Minnesota Music Educators Association Mid-Winter Conference at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Community Education Director Grant Solem spoke to the Board about the Dragons Kids Club. Student Council representative Allie Kargas spoke to the Board about Snow Week which is coming up next week at Litchfield High School. The Litchfield School Board also appointed board members Alex Carlson and Tim Oster to represent the Litchfield School District on the MAWSECO board.
