Mindy Keehner, Student Board Member, talked about the many things happening in the high school.
These include, but are not limited to the following: Legacy season is complete, FFA Banquet, six
students were selected to All State, Bulldog Brew (part of the MORE program) is now up and running,
band and choir participated in solo and ensemble contests, art students participated in a Virtual Art
Show, FOTA showcase, and Legacy will be hosting a Daddy Daughter Dance.

Dr. Crozier gave board members a list of projects that were prioritized by need and included estimated
costs. The list is quite long, but the board agreed that lighting in the south parking lot and fencing
around the elementary playground should be a priority. The district is fortunate that due to good
management practices, even though our facilities are old, they are in relatively good condition. Dr.
Crozier also talked about recent bank collapse issues in the country and feels confident that the district
funds are safe. The recent swatting (fake active shooter call to 911) incident gave light to the fact that
there is room to improve communication to staff during those types of incidents. He also mentioned
that EMC Liability insurance will see another increase.

The next meeting will be held in the McGregor Center Library on Monday, May 8, 2023, at 6:00 p.m.

President Roys adjourned the meeting at 6:45 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
Karla Hanson, Board Secretary
