(Anita, Iowa) – A public hearing was held Monday evening during a regular meeting of the CAM School Board, with regard to the sale of a portion of the District’s property. Superintendent Paul Croghan, said the green-space property is located east of the Industrial Arts Building, about four-blocks south of the main campus, in Anita, and is rarely used by the District.

Mr. Croghan said after they agreed to the sale, the Board tabled until next month, action on approving certain Board Policies because they weren’t included in the packet for Board members to read ahead of discussion. They then acted on locking-in natural gas prices.

He said because it’s a risk management option with Wood River Energy, it allows the funds to be taken from Management Fund instead of the General Fund.

Croghan said also, the CAM School Board discussed enrollment and financial projections. He said “Last year we took a hit of about 27.9 students, and this year we’re down about 2.9.

He emphasized discussion about District facilities and a possible future alignment, was just that. The Board asked Croghan to come back on the 28^th at 6:30-p.m., with more information to help determine future options.

He said there will be a Board workshop to come back with as many answers as they can, in the next two-weeks.
