February 12, 2014 at 7:30 PM - Special Board of Education Meeting

Rationale: 

1. Please note the personnel report as you will find updated employee information reflected in it.
2. Please take note of the February enrollment report. We have a total of 1,436 students enrolled.
3. The Strategic Planning Committee is reviewing our draft goals and mission/vision statement. Once all input has been received, I will present to the Board and the communities the outcomes of our process.
4. There has been much discussion in the last few days regarding Connecticut’s education reform agenda. I will update the Board on the information we have received so far from the CSDE (Connecticut State Department of Education).
5. I have attached the budget calendar as a reminder of the schedule for the remainder of budget season. 
6. In October, we again are planning to host middle school students from our exchange school in Paris. In May, Mrs. Russell will come to our meeting to report on this spring’s trip as well as request permission to return next year.
7. Per Policy #6270, I will report to you the acceptance of a donation of $1000 from Critical Skills Education & Training owned by Doug Lo Presti, EMT, EMSI and Colleen Atkinson, EMT, EMSI. The donors are interested in making the donation to the Physical Education Department at LOLHS, "to promote the heart-healthy lifestyle that these classes inspire." This is the result of our CPR initiative that began last year.

 

Rationale: 

Ms. Warren will provide a year to date budget status report as well as a contingency fund report.

Rationale:  Dr. Borden will provide an update on the educator evaluation and common core state standards.

This will be the first of a multi-part program as we review and revise the program we are piloting this year.

Rationale: 

The crew program would like to sell one of their boats and use those funds to support the purchase of a different boat. Per policy #6250, prior to public sale, the Board must first approve the removal of said boat from the Regional School District 18 inventory. This requires Board action.

Rationale: 

As mentioned at the last meeting, the membrane assembly in the main campus waste water treatment facility needs to be replaced. Funds for this repair will come from our contingency maintenance account. This requires Board action.

Rationale:  I have adjusted the budget according to the discussion at the last meeting. I will review for you the budget numbers as presented at the Budget Forum prior to the meeting. Adoption of the budget requires Board action.
