Board –

 

  • Bettianne Ford brought discussion to the table that the board may want to revise the number of board members since we are a small school and the number seems to stay steady at 5-7 at any given time. The board discussed and will vote on a resolution at the April 2015 meeting.

 

  • Bettianne also brought discussion regarding board training requirements. The board agreed that it would like to require new board members to complete training and be fingerprinted within 30 days of being appointed.  New board members will be allowed to fully participate and vote beginning with the next meeting following completion of these requirements.

Parent Representative Report –

Wendy Heimann brought some parent issues/concerns to the board.

The board agreed that it would be helpful if the liaison could set up meetings between Principal Egan and parents with concerns. If the concerns cannot be resolved by that discussion, then the board requests that the parent representative bring unresolved issues to the board.

 

The board agreed that our policies should state that parents be notified if discipline spans more than one day.

 

  1. Public Comment Period – Peggy Ford suggested that the board seek an additional member who has an elementary education background.  Board members agreed and stated they have been trying to find such an individual and will continue to do so.
