Mortimer to send to the commissioners.
* Reports
Lisa Knapp gave the K-6 site council report and Cathy Feriend gave the 7-12 site council report.
* KASB Enrollment Study
Supt. Mortimer discussed the enrollment study prepared by KASB for the district. The study showed that the enrollment will stabilize over the next five years due to favorable rate of resident live births recently in Cloud County but longer term population forecasts for Cloud County do not seem optimistic for the prospects of enrollment returning to even the levels of five years ago.

In September 2005, the board authorized a 4-mill capital outlay resolution. This new resolution will then allow the board authority for up to 8 mills for 5 years. The board may choose to use some of this authority to accomplish the CHS air conditioning/electrical/heating project.
