3.C. PROGRAM UPDATE
Presenter:
Beth Bertram, Director of Business Services
Description:
Each month of the year, members of the Administrative Team are scheduled to share information with the School Board. The idea behind the time is to allow each administrator some extended time to offer updates on the programs under their jurisdiction but, more importantly, to outline the strategic plans and directions they are leading their building or program.
In conjunction with the Audit, the Business Department has opportunity to offer information about the issues, activities, and plans for the Department. |

3.D. SCHOOL BOARD ANNUAL GOALS
Presenter:
Board Chair Habben
Description:
In August and September, the Board members completed a self-evaluation process. The information was gathered for review at the September 11 work session. Although there was conversation from the work session, Board goals for the academic year were not discussed or developed. Time is allocated at this meeting for Board members to review the evaluation information with the intent of setting specific School Board goals for FY18.
Desired Outcome: Establish goals for the School Board as it conducts its operations in FY18. Recommendation: Set a list of goals based on the evaluation information with the list to be reviewed and finalized at a different meeting.

3.E. ENGLISH LEARNER PROGRAM
Description:
Earlier in the calendar year, some questions from School Board members have arisen regarding the structure of the district's English Language acquisition program. The questions revolved around the staffing and organization of the program, the opportunities within the system, and the overall needs and direction of the EL program. Although there has been considerable change and disruption to the program at the start of the year (for a variety of reasons), it may be helpful to board members to understand a little bit of the history, direction, and activities of the English Language learners program.
Desired Outcome: Presentation of some basic information about the program to help build School Board member understanding. Recommendation: No formal action is proposed or required with this agenda item. |
