Thorndale trustees okay superintendent’s pact
THORNDALE—The Thorndale ISD School Board, meeting recently in its January monthly session, extended the contract of Supt. Adam Ivy for one year.
The action came after an executive session. Ivy also received a salary increase.
Board members approved a $19,500 expenditure for a new high school bell and public address system.
Ivy informed the board the current 20-year-old system had finally stopped working. “It had been repaired many times but is beyond repair.”
He said the new system is the same as the current system at the Middle School and the two systems will be connected.
Trustees discussed the budgeting for student meals during extra-curricular activities.
Input has been solicited from TISD athletic directors for a board decision to be made later.
