The Sulphur School Board held a special meeting Monday evening.

The board approved to renew Superintendent Paula Crawford's contract for the next year.

The board also accepted the resignation of Vicki Davison, high school counselor and hired Katherine Oblander as the junior high social studies teacher under a temporary contract.

The board heard from Larry Sloan of RFD Construction with building project updates for both the high school and junior high school.

Sloan said the main part of the high school was now complete and workers were now concentrating on finishing the library.

"It should take another four weeks to get completely done," he said.

Sloan said the inside of the junior high would be completed either at the end of this week or next week. He said workers would then focus on the outside of the school.

"It's getting exciting," said Paula Crawford, Sulphur Schools superintendent.

The board approved by a 3-0 vote, to a contract with Debbie Hulin Consulting for Child Nutrition Management Services for the next year.

Crawford said she had consulted area school districts that have worked with Hulin and is confident she would be an asset to the Sulphur schools.

"She believes we can increase the number of kids eating in the cafeteria just by guaranteeing good meals," she said.

Hulin creates meal plans and orders groceries for school districts, Crawford said. She also trains cafeteria staff on how to make items.

The board also approved several other actions including a summer stipend for cheerleading sponsors, a supplemental appropriations for the FY09 Child Nutrition Fund, a contract with Alcohol and Drug Testing, Inc for DOT drug and alcohol testing compliance for bus drivers and a worker's compensation proposal for the next school year through the Oklahoma School Assurance Group.

Crawford also informed the board about upcoming conferences staff will be attending.
