3.     Superintendent – Mr. Kantola-Monday April 13th a board workshop in the cafeteria.  April 7th, title 7 open hearing at baymills.  then there are the roof issues.  Mrs Schopps room the roof collapsed and it is in her room only.  The snow was removed and the roof did come back up.  We did have another analysis done and they did go up and several of the tresses were broken.  The engineers suggested some poles to support it, this was done today.  The fix is going to be complex and costly.  Set/ Seg was contacted as our insurer and they will be up tomorrow.
