Pre-K and kindergarten students from Y Road towards OBE will attend OBE along with 1-4 grades from our current zone. Pre-K and kindergarten students from the Niangua Bridge towards HDE will attend HDE along with 1-4 grades from our current zone. First through fourth graders in the new attendance zones may attend either their current school or attend their new area school. The sign-up for any possible changes will be until January 31st. The integration of the new attendance area will progress as next year’s Pre-K and kindergarten cohort advances grade levels.

B. ELEMENTARY CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Background: Dr. Hadfield will provide construction project updates and present Change Orders #5 & #6 for Osage Beach Elementary and Change Order #3 for Hurricane Deck Elementary. *Change Order #4 for Hurricane Deck relates to additional conduit required by Co-Mo Electrical for the proper installation of electrical on the project. We also asked for a change dealing with block heaters for buses at Hurricane Deck.
