Regular meeting:
The board received a report on Professional Learning Time (PLT) at the high school. One of the activities PLT engages in is the Student Academic Intervention System, which targets students who are earning a "D" or an "F" in at least one course. The students work with faculty in small groups to develop a plan to improve their grades. The intervention program was able to remove 83% of the students from the "D/F" list because their grades had improved.
The district's project manager for the construction projects reported that Wilson Elementary's design development was temporarily on hold because an asbestos coating applied to plaster ceilings had been discovered and will need to be addressed.
Due to budget constraints, administration recommended that elementary summer school for general education students not be offered for the summer of 2010 and that summer school would only be available for students with Individualized Education Plans (IEP). This school year the district began offering extended learning opportunities before and after school to provide additional instruction for at-risk students, and online materials and work packets will also be provided for students in the summer. Summer school for middle school students will also only be provided for students with IEPs. High school students will continue to be able to recover credits in the summer, instruction will be provided for students with IEPs, and driver's education will be offered, with fees covering the majority of the costs of driver's education. The board approved 7-0 the plans for elementary and secondary summer school.
