Sterling Grade Seeks Admission To Lee County Coop Dress Code Adopted
Sterling Elementary Board of Education moved to join the Lee County Special Education Association to save money versus Bi County and Tri County options. The district claims it saved about 50000 by running its own program this year and seeks a cooperative approach aligned with its philosophy. A new dress code for kindergarten through sixth grade tightens rules on shorts shoes boots and hair, while junior high rules ban certain tops and jeans. The board also reduced the art supply budget, accepted fuel oil and custodial bids, approved two second grade classes, a fall girls tennis program, and accepted the resignation of Dennis Vincent.
