SOUTH WHITLEY-The Whitko School Board Work Session began at 4:03, with Kari Walmer filling in for Interim Superintendent Tom Edington, who has been on leave and won’t return until Friday. Those present included a couple of parents, the school’s official media personnel, and a community member.
School Board President Annette Arnold asked about a construction update, and though the construction company had already left following their tour prior to the meeting, another woman present was able to inform everyone about some progress on the project. She said they have completed the first coat of paint and are continuing to work on the D-wing bathrooms. They plan to put up the drywall this Saturday, and they still plan to be done by the summer. She went on to say that the construction company has been great to work with, that they have been respectful of the school environment, and that they have worked to complete their loudest and messiest projects at times when students are not in the building so they can avoid disrupting them.
