BACKGROUND

Description:  Read the Budget Committee Oath and have applicants swear in. Budget committee members must be appointed by an official vote of the board at an official board meeting.

Ethan DuBois is from the District Equity Committee.
Robin Gray is a retired teacher. 
Jaynee Coslet is a returning budget committee member and would like to continue her services for another 3 years as of July 1. 

Description:  Background:  
The no-build easement on your property allows us to build the type of building we have constructed (Commercial Construction Type V-B), without having to fire rate the building.  Fire rating would involve wrapping structural columns and spraying a coating on the underside of our roof deck, in addition to a few other requirements.  Our building is fully sprinklered but does not have these additional items.    
 
We originally intended to keep our building 60’ from your property line, including our loading docks.  We would not need the no-build easement from you if we had done this.  When we worked through our site plan approval with the city, we moved our building around and lost track of the 60’ distance near our loading docks.  The docks are now approximately 50’ from the property line, which is driving our need for the no-build easement.
 
We thank the School District for considering our request.

Description:  Background:  Transfers to all elementary schools will be as follows:   K-2 is limited to the number of transfers that cap classes at 28 students per core subjects (Math, ELA) and for grades 3-5 limited to 32 students per core subject (Math, ELA).  What this means is the district at each K-5 school will accept transfers throughout the year from outside the district or from within the district at each grade as long as the addition to that school and grade does not go above the capped limits.  

Grades 6-12 are unlimited for transfers. All transfers to Klamath Learning Center (9-12) or Klamath Home Learning Academy (6-8) must transfer to Ponderosa Middle School, Klamath Union High School, or Eagle Ridge New Tech High School prior to being considered for KLC or KHLA.
