With a large kindergarten class this year and another large class expected next year, the Grand Island school district is looking for space to conduct its preschool classes next year.
As a result, the Grand Island school board will be asked to approve an agreement with Third City Christian Church, 4100 W. 13th St., to lease space for preschool classes during the 2008-09 school year.
The proposed lease agreement also includes the option to renew the lease for another year.
In other action, the board will be asked to establish guidelines for a potential new fieldhouse to be built at Grand Island Senior High. A final decision has not been made on building the fieldhouse, but the board is being asked to establish guidelines anyway.
A suggested price for naming the building is $1 million, for naming the indoor practice area is $300,000, for naming the weight room $200,000, for naming the educational wing is $100,000, the boys and girls locker rooms would be $50,000 each and naming the team meeting room would be $15,000.
A tribute to a person or family is preferred for naming. However, if a business wants naming rights, the business and its name must reflect the values of the school district, most especially the health and well being of families. Also, if a business receives naming rights, no business logos will be used.
The board also will be asked to approve the annually approved projects list for schools and other district buildings.
In other action, the board will recognize Isaiah Aguilar for finishing second in the State Wrestling Tournament; Vanessa Gauthier for winning he 2008 USAPL Power Lifting Competition; and Knickrehm fifth-graders Cornelio Jaimes and Jessica Anguiano for winning first and second, respectively, in the 2008 Nebraska Poison Prevention Poster Contest.
