9.1. Consideration to Approve the Addition of a Kindergarten Section for the 2014-15 School Year.
Presenter:
Rich Hanson
Description:
We now have 78 confirmed kindergarten registrations for the 2014-15 school year. Even if we have some unexpected no shows, our enrollment numbers will be in excess of the 73 students needed to add a 4th section of kindergarten. We have also reviewed the enrollment numbers of the other grade levels and there is not a grade level with enrollment numbers close enough to warrant reducing a section. By taking the action now, we will have the new teacher in place prior to the beginning of school and in-service activities. Approval is recommended.

9.4. Recommendation to Approve the 2014-15 Elementary Student Handbook Subject to Editorial Changes.
Presenter:
Rich Hanson
Description:
We set a goal this year to make all of our student handbooks as similar and consistent as possible, but yet allow for the differences that exist at different age levels. The handbooks for the elementary serves both Hilltop & Park. A number of editorial or combing changes have been made to accomplish this format that should make the use of the handbooks much easier for students and parents. Due to the move to the new format, a summary page of changes is not practical. The major changes include making sure all of our handbooks include the proper policy notifications, and that we are ADA and Section 504 complaint.
