January 8, 2020 at 6:30 PM - Regular Board of Education Meeting

Rationale:  This year's recipients of the CAPSS Superintendent's Award are Elizabeth Cravinho and Trevor Wells. I have attached bios of these students which describe their many accomplishments in school and within the community. This award is based on their service, leadership, and academic prowess.  Jim Wygonik will introduce them.

Rationale:  Please note the personnel report as you will find updated employee information reflected in it.

Please take note of the January enrollment report. We have a total of 1287 students (in-house) enrolled (one less student than last month this time). As a part of our budget development process and in terms of long range planning, we have updated our staffing proposals based on the current and projected enrollments. 

As a reminder, please clear your schedule for the next three Wednesday evenings. We have our annual budget workshops beginning next week when the principals will present their school budgets. I have attached the budget calendar as a reminder of the schedule for the next couple of months.

Rationale:  Mrs. McCalla will provide a year to date budget status report as well as a contingency fund report.

Rationale:  Holly will review the annual budget process and explain some of the terminology you will hear in the coming weeks.

Rationale:  The Board of Education regular meeting schedule for the 2020-2021 school year is enclosed. The schedule remains the same as it has been with meetings scheduled for the first Wednesday of each month. This schedule must be posted in the town halls this month and, therefore, requires Board action for approval to post.

Rationale:  The Lyme Academy College has approached us about the possibility of purchasing some abutting property that sits just to the north of our main campus.  I will review the proposal and look for input from the board as to how you would like to proceed.  This does not require board action.

Rationale: 

The second reading of the following policies will take place. Changes recommended at the December 4 meeting have been made to the policies.

5123.1 Promotion/Acceleration/Retention

6146.11 Class Rank and Weighted Grades
