Building Committee Update

On September 22, 2010 the building committee met to review the updated plans for renovating the elementary building, other projects associated with the building and track/football field possibilities. After reviewing the plans, the committee expressed their interest in continuing the process of preparing information for public meetings.

The main discussion of the evening dealt with funding of this project. Kenton Cox (the architect for the project) and I have been asked to work on possible ways to fund these upgrades. Funding ideas would include FEMA grants, Jones Fund grant and possible bond loans through the Federal Stimulus Fund. Once we have answers on these possible types of funding we will reconvene the group for further discussion.

Please feel free to contact the superintendent's office if you have questions pertaining to the plans themselves or would just like to view the architectural drawings. Your input is always welcome.

A Big Thank You

Osage City Schools would like to thank the Osage County Health Department for the generous gift of a pulse oximeter. A pulse Oximeter is used to check oxygen levels on our students and staff.

This gift was given to the district for the assistance of our school nurse in giving H1N1 vaccines last year. This is another example of the partnership we work toward with all agencies in the city and county.

Building Committee Meeting

A building committee meeting has been scheduled for September 22, 2010. This informative meeting will be held in the High School Commons Area at 6:00 PM.

Architect Kenton Cox will lead discussions pertaining to the history of the project, architectural designs and develop our goals for future planning.

Please contact the Superintendent's office if you are interested in serving on this committee.
