In memory of Jack Francisco

OCPA has bought and installed a non slip carpet for the entrance to the Opportunity Community Club. Jack always said someone was going to slip on the wet tile some day, so OCPA took it upon themselves to install the carpet before someone actually falls and gets hurt. Thank you Jack for bringing this to mind for us.. OCPA.....

School Board Meeting

Anaconda School Board held their meeting on February 13 in the little theater in the Anaconda Senior High School. On the agenda was whether or not to give Anaconda Deer Lodge County a one year extension on their decision to buy the Beaver Dam School and property at fair market value or not. Discussions got a bit heated up between school board member Bill Johnson and Jim Kuipers when Jim asked them not to pull the carpet out from under the counties feet. The school board member stated to Jim that the school board has been very good about giving numerous extensions to the county and OCPA to let them get their ducks in a row and present the school board with a solid plan. He stated, the time has come to make a decision. ADLC CEO Becky Guay stated to the school board that the county IS willing to pay fair market value on the property, when the MDOT grant money started coming in. School board members agreed to give the county until the first part of March to present them with a plan.
