Summary

The March 18, 1985 School Board meeting advanced building and busing plans, accepted a $20,000 art grant, recorded a $637 gifted-and-talented grant, and reported local America and Me essay-contest winners.

Evidence limits

The minutes record board actions and reported figures, not final bond issuance, construction, grant administration, transportation implementation, or election results.

Sources

  1. Reports the America and Me local winners, a $637 gifted-and-talented grant, corrected building plans after Fire Marshall review, fitness-course and playground planning, insurance figures, a $21,771 annual busing estimate, a request for 1.5 mills for fifteen years at the June election, March 25 bond-sale authorization, a June 10 school election, and acceptance of a $20,000 art grant. It is a newspaper account of minutes, not a grant file, bond instrument, election return, insurance policy, or construction record. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
