The Dumas School Board meet Monday, January 24th in a regular called meeting. An action item voted on was to appoint Mark Stroebel to serve as the representative of Dumas ISD to the Regional Advisory Council for Region 16. There were no Personnel items to vote on. Because of the recent promotion of Mrs. Legg and Mr. Guerra there was a need to update three local policies to reflect their new titles along with a change to another policy to prevent political ads on school property. This was the first reading for the policies reflecting the changes. Once implemented the new policies can be seen on the District's web page. www.dumas-k12.net
The current enrollment report showed 4,523 as opposed to 4,383 this time last year. Dumas ISD Quarterly Investment Report was also presented to the board of trustees. The following is the District Status Report for the period beginning January 2010 and ending December 2010:
