                Guy Hunter, the Stanley County High School Athletic Director, 
                presented the proposal that the Stanley County and Pierre School 
                Districts combine in providing a great night of high school 
                athletics for the community.  The Stanley County Buffaloes and 
                Pierre Governors Varsity Football teams would play on one night 
                at one site.  The Buffaloes would play the Platte School and the 
                Governors would play the Aberdeen Schools.  The proposed date is 
                September 10, 2004.  The coaches and the school administration 
                will finalize plans at their February 11 meeting. 
                
                  
                
                The Board recognized the following students for achieving at 
                least a 3.6 grade-point average for the second nine weeks of the 
                school year.  President Gary Johnson and Superintendent Larry 
                Jaske presented the certificates.

              awarded a grant to purchase anthropometrical equipment (measuring

              the Stanley County fifth grade Writing Assessment test, conducted 
              in October, were compared to the state averages in six categories 
              of writing and presented to the Board.  The Six Plus One Writing 
              Traits program is being used this year to improve the test scores 
              for next school year.  The teachers attended the January 30 
              inservice to review the results of the Writing Assessment Test and 
              to receive further training.  Principal Merry Bleeker also
