Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- In Andy Johnson’s first meeting as Superintendent, he looked back at what has been done in the district over the past few years. Assistant Superintendent Jason Fox presented a slide show with all the recent renovations and repairs done to the district since 2016. Andy Johnson said he is “extremely excited” to get to work for the district, and he said that “for you to have done all of that without raising taxes is amazing.” Johnson also wants to see the Board seek input from the community on what could be done next.
The Board also agreed it is time for goal setting for the district. There was talk about using the firm that helped hire Johnson, but members Jill Wendling and Desha Wear wondered whether other firms should also be considered. Johnson said he’d get to work contacting firms for proposals, and Robin Klosterman said the issue would be brought up again next month.
The Board also voted to transfer $750,000 from the district’s Working Cash Fund to its Operations and Maintenance Fund to pay the district’s share of the cost of the turf field and scoreboard at Klosterman Field.
