Mr. North provided Mrs. Adams with a summary of his report:

He thanked us for the great job hosting the March PAC meeting. The District Office Administrators made numerous comments on how wonderfully decorated the media center was and how fantastic the food was for the brunch.

In response to some emails that has been circulating about a man who may have possibly followed Cimarron student(s) & mother who were in their car. Mr. North assured CPTO that “Student safety” has and will continue to be a top priority for Cimarron administrators. He reported that nothing occurred on school grounds.  He has spoken with Detective Mize of the Edmond Police Dept, Cimarron’s SRO, and his faculty regarding this.  The school is also working with Mr. Jim Rothrock who is the District Safety Coordinator.  He assures us that our students are safe. 

Mr. North thanked the CPTO again for purchasing the computer tables and other big ticket items such as the “Success Maker” licenses. These items are examples of purchases that will have positive educational impact and benefit our student’s long term.
