The approval of a depository, if passed, will list Green Valley Bank as an approved depository for the Springfield School District.  All this means is that the district will use Green Valley to deposit money.

The board will also vote on contracting with an occupational therapist that will provide therapy and evaluation services for elementary and secondary students.  The term of the contract will be from Nov. 1, 2012 through June 18, 2013.  The therapist will be paid $375 per day for a total maximum contract cost of $68,250.
