     BRIDGEPORT - An investigation into alleged conduct that got a Bridgeport teacher suspended has been completed and will be submitted to the school board March 9.
     Superintendent Scott Sattler said the report, written by the school’s insurance carrier, is under review by the district's attorney and board members will receive it in executive (closed-door) session. How soon district officials take action after that is undetermined, Sattler said.
     In other business Feb. 22, the board:
     -Approved the annual out-of-town senior trip. The class will spend three days in Seattle the week prior to graduation.
     District officials have floated the idea of modifying the trip or doing away with it altogether, and still are seeking the opinions of district residents, Sattler said.
     -Learned about $500 has been donated to help fix the Bridgeport High School track. District officials also have applied for a grant to make short-term repairs to the track while they look for ways to pay for a long-term solution.
     The track was built in the early 1990s, but some maintenance was deferred so it’s in poor repair. The short-term fix for the all-weather track would cost about $39,000 to extend its life by three to five years.
     The Bridgeport Sports Boosters are working on the donation drive. President Dan Cavadini can be reached at 509-449-0053.
