Weeks, Christmas and Valentine candy grams, and the annual car show. There was good participation for Spirit
Week and the candy grams were appreciated. Mr. Howard encouraged more community connection and
possible involving Technical Careers High School with the car show.
Student Counsel Representative Brady Robinson, a senior at Lincoln High School, reported that he has been
involved with Bonneville High School wrestling team. He transferred from Bonneville Online Schools to Lincoln
High School for his senior year. He has found Lincoln High School a very helpful environment and has kept him
on task to graduate this year. Brady likes the teachers, the counseling and the smaller student -teacher ratio in
his classes. After high school he is planning on attending college majoring in Business and looks forward to
starting his own business in the entertainment field after college.
Student Counsel Representative Colt Klawatter is a sophomore at Lincoln High School this year, transferring
from Bonneville Online High School. Colt enjoys the small class sizes and class choices. He does not like the
crowding in the mainstream high schools. In the future Colt would like to study at Montana Western University in
the science fields. He enjoys photography, animals, and yoga!
Student Counsel Representative Carl Henscheid is interested in technology and hopes to study Computer
Science in college. He transferred from Taylor's Crossing Charter School. He really loves Lincoln High School
for their small classes and explained it is easy to get teacher help when needed and likes the scheduling where
class time includes time to complete his homework, He is currently taking advantage of the third period option to
catch up on lost credits and to move toward graduation,

Principal Gordon Howard explained that this year breakfast and lunch are free for all students and also good
choices for hot lunch. Out of 150 students 30-40 eat breakfast at school and 40-50 eat lunch, which is an
increase from past years. Serving breakfast before classes start, lessens class interruptions. There are seven
tracks per year, each track being 25 days. Students take two classes per track, each class being 165 minutes. A
few students participate in the third period class option. This third period class is online only and held after the
regular daily classes at the eCenter. These classes are designed to help the student catch up with their credits.
Seminary is difficult to schedule and students can attend seminary at other nearby high schools, if they desire.
The academic program at Lincoln High School is doing what is best for students.
Pending Board approval, this summer Mr. Gordon Howard will be heading up the District's Technology
Department and School Safety, and Lance Miller from Bonneville High School will be the new principal for Lincoln
High School.
V. Items for Discussion
A. 15 Year Lonq-Term Planninq, - Scott Woolstenhulme, John Pymm
Chairman McBride invited Mr. Woolstenhulme and Mr, Pymm to discuss the 15 year Long -Term Planning,
Mr. Woolstenhulme explained that a 15 year long-term plan is a broad picture and many of the projections
will change, Basics of the plan will be to determine the needs of the District in relation to its growth within
the next 3-5 years and update as the District moves forward into the future. Projection of needed facilities
and maintenance of current facilities are the prime goals. The District is planning on bonding in 2017-2018
for additional classrooms for many of the smaller neighborhood elementary schools and in 2021-2022 for a
new middle school. In the future, the District is projecting to build larger elementary schools for 750 students
to accommodate the growth. Upkeep of current facilities' projects are funded by the Plant Facility Levy; this
levy is a 10 year levy used for maintaining, remodeling, repairing, furnishing and equipping existing buildings
and facilities, purchasing school buses, upgrading technology, and other capital improvements as provided
by law. The Plant Facility Levy is for $2,800,000. Sometimes updating and maintaining an older facility can
be more expensive than tearing down and rebuilding. Proposed projects could include a new bus garage,
roof replacements, renovations of Bonneville and Hillcrest high schools, property for Ammon Elementary
rebuild, and upgrade of Fairview classrooms. The Supplemental Levy is used for the purpose of paying all
lawful expenses of maintaining and operation of the District, including, but not limited to, salaries,
technology, curriculum, etc. This levy is a 2 year levy and is for $3,000,000. Going forward, as inflation rises
and buildings age, these levies will require an increase. Tax levy rates will increase slightly with new bonds
and levies. Transportation for the new school will increase the need for more busses and bus drivers, each
bus costing over $100k. Most busses need replaced after 10 years. Bus drivers are in competition with
District 91 and with INL which pay better. Recommendations include organizing a facilities planning
committee in the summer of 2016, work with the Finance planning committee for a 15 year financial plan,
and begin RFQ process for CM/GC and design team for elementary additions and middle school planning.
Enrollment and landholding reports were requested by the Board.
