October 15, 2015 at 7:00 PM - Bethel Board of Education Regular Meeting

Rationale: 

Gifts to School System:

 

• BMS - Used trumpet and case, Mr. Gutzman, Bethel, CT

 

 

Rationale: 

The minutes of February 12, 2015 need to be amended. 

Mr. Duff voted NAY on the 2015-2015  Operating Budget Motion.  These minutes were approved on February 19, 2015.  The error was not caught at that time.  This was brought to my attention and I reviewed the tape from this meeting.  Mr. Duff did vote NAY on the 2015-2015  Operating Budget Motion. Therefore, these minutes need to be amended as noted.

 

Rationale:  At the request of the Board, the NJROTC cadets will briefly present on the Summer Leadership Academy in Newport, Rhode Island.   This is a unique leadership opportunity for our students.  Our Commander and Master Sergeant take a major role in the coordination of this event.   The presentation will include an overview of the Leadership Academy.  

Rationale: 

Below is an overview of the summer 2015 curriculum work revisions.  These revisions were made to existing curriculum and/or assessments in World Languages.

Specifically, the World Languages Department developed new curriculum maps and assessments.

Rationale:  Mr. Troetti will review with the Board the BHS Educational Pathways.

Rationale: 

This policy is being reviewed to add language so that students who take high school courses in middle school will be granted high school credit.  The two most frequent areas in which our students at Bethel Middle School take high school courses are in mathematics and world language.  

Rationale:  This summer, the fundraising policy was reviewed with all parent groups.  There were a few concerns which need clarification.  Minor revisions to language were made in committee.
