N/GRV School Board Meeting Notes

The Naselle-Grays River Valley School District Board of Directors met for its monthly meeting on January 17.

The board passed a resolution allowing the superintendent to negotiate a contract with Rognlin’s Inc. for construction of the multi-purpose building.

Superintendent Nelson commended the work of Librarian, Cynthia Clark in applying for and receiving a $3,000 scholarship on behalf of author James Patterson. The money was used to purchase mostly non-fiction books. Through Clark’s hard work on the Patterson grant and the Scholastic Book Fair, the library’s volumes have grown by about 500 publications this year.

In other business, the district’s highly capable plan was approved and the board was recognized for its service during the past year. The board also approved a one year leave of absence from coaching for middle school volleyball coach, Nicole Burkhalter.

The next board meeting is February 21 at the Middle School Commons.
