Mr. Robinson reported that he appreciated the energy of the administration and staff at back to school night. He was able to visit LP and OHS. He thought that there was good supervision at the bell game, the field was in great shape, and meeting with the bell game committee a few weeks before the game was helpful. He talked to the officials at half-time and convinced them to allow more time so the cheerleaders and band could perform. He expressed his appreciation to the district office and sites for continuing to support him. He will be attending an ACSA conference next Wednesday through Friday. He and Susan attended a workplace investigation seminar last week and determined that our policies are in good shape.
