September 11, 2013 at 7:00 PM - Regular Board of Education Meeting

Rationale: 

Members of the Killingly community are encouraged to share their thoughts with the Board of Education and are invited to do so during this segment of the meeting. When appropriate to do so, members of the Board and the administration may respond to comments. However, in consideration of those in attendance and in an effort to proceed in a timely manner, follow-up discussion may need to take place outside of the meeting setting.

 

Rationale:  Mr. Theodore F Smith.

Rationale: 
At this time the Superintendent and/or Assistant Superintendent will share specific information to the Board of Education and the Public in the interest of good communication.

Rationale:  During this past summer our administrative staff has been trained to implement the state's new teacher evaluation system.  Also during the summer months the teacher evaluation committee has met and requested changes to the original proposal from CSDE.   In this initial year of evaluations districts may opt to only evaluate 1/3 (one third) of their staff.  This presentation will outline our exact intentions with respect to evaluation that has been approved by the state.  Upon completion of the presentation and any discussion a vote by the board of education will complete the process.  Mr. Rioux will present the Administrative Evaluation system at the next BOE meeting.

Rationale:  A synopsis by the Superintendent of the first day of school and any other pertinent information that should be shared with the Board.

Rationale:  to accept the new high school building before the closeout of the financials with the state of Connecticut.   Per the town manager if we do not accept then the town would have to incur some debt service in the spring that could cost the town $35,000.

Rationale:  Discussion regarding scheduling of a board retreat for the purpose of goal setting with administration.  Oct. 5th, 2013 is a Saturday that has been proposed by the Superintendent or the board could wait and determine a date in the near future after the November elections.

Rationale:  Adjusting calendar that was approved last spring to reflect dates for regular board meetings in May that coincide with the 2nd and 4lth Wednesdays of the month.

Rationale:  At our last Board meeting,  Board members expressed  interest in looking over the signed agreement between Killingly Public Schools and  NRI. Per their request the agreement is attached. This agreement was approved by schools' attorneys at Shipman and Goodwin prior to executing agreement.
