The current renovations on Jim Hill Middle School has cost Minot Public Schools around 1.2 million dollars as of today. That unexpected expense has put them over their budget for the 2007-2008 fiscal year. Today the school board met to amend their General Fund Expenditure Budget by increasing it by $600,000, which all members agreed was the right decision. The board had to make the decision by the end of June to raise the budget. Superintendent Dr. David Looysen said it was an easy decision for the board because they had the money available in a reserve fund. (Dr. David Looysen, Superintendent, Minot Public Schools) There's no problems because we carry reserve funds for that. We've been criticized for carrying a large reserve fund. It's absolutely necessary in our position to carry that. Being fiscally responsible we have to carry some over so we don't have to go to tax payers for everything. The previous budget was $59,375,000 and the new budget is $59,975,000.

Perfection is the destination, imperfection is the journey. Words the graduating class at Maddock High School take with them as they move on in life. Our 'Student Spotlight' shines on the valedictorian from Maddock today Michelle Olson... (Michelle Olson - Maddock High School) I have gone to Maddock since Kindergarten and it has been nice. It is a small town so you can do whatever you want from sports, to groups, to music. I have been active in FFA in fact I was the president. I have been in music and sports and in cheerleading and science club too. My favorite class was English with Mrs. Sears because she is tough and makes you work hard. Next year I am going to Bismarck State and majoring in psychology and will then move to Minot State and get a masters in child psychology. I would like to work in state at a school or hospital or health centers. Joining Michelle at the top of the class this year in Maddock are these students. Congratulations to all of them for their graduation this past weekend.

School was out of session today at Minot State for a scheduled assessment day but the classrooms were still busy with learning the learners were just a bit younger.

All three floors of the science building were bustling with curious kids and they were getting plenty of excitement and of course some education snuck in there as well! Cory Mattern works with the Science department and says this annual event is always a blast... (Cory Mattern - MSU Science Department) Lot of explosions and flames and neat things that they don't usually get to see in the day. SO WHAT DO YOU HEAR FROM THE KIDS? Lots of 'Wow!' and 'More can we see that one again?!' 4th, 5th, and 6th graders were at Cyril Moore science center today for the event.

While the goal of most all college students is to achieve the highest grade point average they can, the goal of the institution they attend is to give those students the best opportunity to do just that. Learning how to do a better job of educating was the goal today at Minot State University. Today was a scheduled assessment day with students given the day off staff members were there learning how Minot State could improve the education it delivers. Visiting professor Jillian Kinzey from Indiana University-Bloomington told them getting students and staff working together is key... (Jillian Kinzey - Indiana University-Bloomington) Get students to dedicate more time on the activities we know are important for learning like studying, and working on group projects in and out of class. How can we get more students to do that? The schools that are effective are the schools that structure that into the plans are hold each other accountable. Kinzey met with staff and faculty members this morning and Minot State students this afternoon.

It is Stephanie Keller and she is in today's Student Spotlight.

We do lots of hands on work in science and my math teacher has been really good too. I plan on attenting NDSU in Fargo next fall and majoring in prepharmacy. I plan on staying in North Dakota.
