May 28, 2014 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: 

UConn Early College Experience (ECE) is a concurrent enrollment program that allows motivated high school students to take UConn courses at their high schools for both high school and college credit. Every course taken through UConn ECE is equivalent to the same course at the University of Connecticut.

High school instructors who have been certified through the University of Connecticut serve as adjunct faculty members and teach UConn ECE courses.

UConn Early College Experience is nationally accredited by The National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP).

The UCONN ECE office honors deserving educators and administrators annually with the UCONN ECE Professional Recognition Awards. This year 12  individuals earned top honors for their tremendous contributions to the program. Killingly High School's Ernest Dodge won the "Instructor Award for Excellence in Course Instruction".

Rationale:  The Amendment increases the management fee to $2,689.56 per month for ten months. This reflects a 2.2% increase in the April U.S Consumer Price Index. The monthly increase is $57.96

The amendment increases the administrative fee to $4,841.21 per month for 10 months.  This reflects a 2.2%  increase and the monthly increase in $104.21

Rationale:  Killingly Community Engagement Council Chair Laurie LeClerc will present the findings from the "Community Conversation" held at KHS on March 1st, 2014.
