7. Superintendent’s Report:

a.) NSLP Administrative Review Results: The District was reviewed on February 21, 2018. This is a review that is completed every three years. This year, most items were handled and discussed with LCHS since this is where NH-M receives the meals for students. The only item in question is students should be given a 4oz of juice instead of a 6oz of juice at “Last Chance Breakfast”. No money is due to be paid back at this time.

b.) 3rd Qtr. Discipline Report: Other Items: There has been a small spike in behavior and detentions for Qtr. 3

c.) Other Items: Superintendent Dugan reviewed the results of the Illinois Primary and noticed most schools who were asking for a new building to be built passed, however, a few schools who were asking for a tax referendum did not, this meaning tax payers like to see what they are getting with their money/tax increases.
