> The legislators have returned to Springfield, but at this time I have
> no new information to share with you regarding the future of ISVI.  When
> recently questioned by our local Representative, Jim Watson, the
> Governor stated that he would not close the schools (ISVI and ISD) at
> this time.  But, nothing has been given to me officially in writing
> regarding this.
> 
> To update you since my last letter, we are now under a hiring freeze,
> which means we will not be able to fill vacant positions.  When this
> freeze will be lifted is unknown at this time.
> 
> I did see some good news regarding ISVI in our local newspaper this
> morning.  The Governor signed the $31 billion construction bill
> recently.  Contained in that are several projects for ISVI including:
> 
> $2.1 million to renovate the auditorium and classrooms in the
> administrative building.
> $1.26 million to renovate classrooms in building 17 (the Library
> building).
> $2.09 million to renovate the powerhouse.
> $392,832 to replace roofing systems.
> $557,269 for the renovation of the power plant and associated
> equipment.
> 
> I don't have further information to share on these projects as what I
> saw was in the local newspaper.  I have not received anything official
> in writing regarding these projects.  If I receive any further
> information I can share regarding the school I will do so.  
> 
> Thank you for your support and all you do on behalf of our students at
> ISVI!
