GoogleDuring the meeting, the Fort Scott Chapter of the Kansas National Education Association negotiations team made a short presentation to the board, which also acknowledged the receipt of negotiations lists from the board and FS-KNEA for the 2010-11 school year.

Fort Scott High School Principal Bob Beckham discussed proposed course changes at the high school for the 2010-11 school year. The board approved the changes.
USD 234 Business Manager Alan Drake updated the board on the payoff status of the capital outlay temporary notes in the amount of $510,000.

our district is in good hands with mr. drake as superintendent
Not for long...he's retiring.
Drake is not the superintendent.
I know that & think brandonx1 knows it too. Sarcasm.....
why isnt the REAL supt. EVER quoted??? Mr. Ida and Drake run the district apparently.
GO to the search box and type in Werlings name. There are several several stories with comments from him.
just did and i am totally underwhelmed
That's fine. Other people might not be.
nice retort.
Brandonx1,
I've been reading your posts, and you seem to think you know a lot, but you really don't. Mr. Werling is a WONDERFUL superintendent. Just because he isn't "quoted" all the time doesn't mean he doesn't do the work. It's kind of like the presidency too. So, for once, shut your mouth!
