The Sheridan School Board of Trustees met on Monday, June 13. Here’s a recap of what was discussed:

• The board discussed new policy updates for the upcoming school year. Policies will remain very similar to years past.

In celebration of financial literacy month, Jody Sandru’s high school personal finance class teamed up with our 3rd graders to teach the importance of budgeting and saving/investing. We also welcomed Steve Collinge from Opportunity Bank who presented a budget exercise with tootsie rolls. Students then invested and bartered for goods.
