CHERRY— Members of the St. Louis County School Board toured the Cherry School prior to their meeting here on Tuesday, to get a better look at the proposed renovations and expansion at the campus as enrollment there continues to grow.
Business Manager Kim Johnson said she expected Cherry to overtake both South Ridge and North Woods this year in enrollment.
Most of the board’s regular meeting focused on updates to the Cherry school’s football program, which is not fielding a team this year due to low interest. The school’s junior varsity team has been growing and appears to have sufficient numbers to transition to full varsity next year, although next year’s season is still in the planning stage.
In other business, the board:
Welcomed the new School Resource Officer, Deputy Brock Kick, from the St. Louis County Sheriff’s office. Deputy Kick will serve at Northeast Range, Tower-Soudan and North Woods.
Approved a preliminary tax levy ahead of the final tax levy to be voted on Dec. 11.
Formally adopted a new ticketing procedure previously discussed earlier this month. The new policy will allow all district students to attend games at any campus for free.
Approved plans for renovations at South Ridge and Cherry. The plans will now go out for final revisions and bidding.
The school board will meet in two weeks on Oct. 9 in Virginia for their monthly study session, followed by a regular meeting at South Ridge on Oct. 23. Both of those meetings will be at 6 p.m.
