Superintendent Goodall presented information on the Teacher Quality dollars that will follow the middle school/high

the money generated by our 7th-12th grade students and the results of the 10% State Aid reduction on the Teacher Quality funds.
The money will be paid monthly to Maquoketa as it is received tom the State.
A brief discussion of the LOSST dollars,
with a little historical information was provided. Most of the money disbursed has gone into the high school’s
new construction projects, or construction projects for new technology. It was suggested to reallocate dollars from
one area to another because the cost was less in some areas than estimated and more in others.
