Grant spending was discussed, and Christensen said that some of the grant money was being used for the building of the school greenhouse.

He also mentioned that there are other benefits to the Perkins grant.

Christensen also mentioned a new weather station at the school which is connected to an app that will give more up-to-date information about the weather, which will help the school to keep track of storm systems which may affect the bus routes, especially during the winter months.
