Subject:
4.A. Teacher of the Year

Recognition of 2013 Teacher of the Year Rationale: Sara Schmidt, Grade 6 Teacher at Killingly Intermediate School, was chosen as Killingly's 2013 Teacher of the Year. The Board will be honoring her at this meeting.
Subject:
4.B. 2012 Recipient of Agri-Science Teacher of the Year from Nat'l. Assoc. of Agricultural Educators.
Speaker(s):
Alexis Rich
Rationale:
AgriScience Teacher of the Year; award winners are agricultural teachers who emphasize the application of science in the classroom. The award recognizes leadership in agriscience, civic, community, agriculture/agribusiness and professional activities. Beth competed against state Agriscience Teacher of the Year award winners from surrounding states to be named the 2012 Region VI NAAE Agriscience Teacher of the Year.

5. Citizens' Comments
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.

8. Report of Superintendent of Schools and Assistant Superintendent of Schools
Speaker(s):
Kevin Farr and Colin McNamara
Rationale:

Subject:
8.A. Opening Day 2012
Speaker(s):
Kevin Farr
Rationale:
It is my intention to provide a clear and concise picture of the first days of the 2012-2013 school year here in Killingly.  I look forward to our work together in the coming years.
Subject:
8.B. Alliance District Application
Speaker(s):
Colin McNamara
Subject:
8.C. Central Office Relocation
Speaker(s):
Kevin Farr
Rationale:
I would like to take the opportunity during this agenda item to make a proposal with financials (see attachments) to move the Central Office to the Old HS Main Office area and to include PPS personnel as well from KIS.  As we move forward with the Board Goal of Reconfiguration the Central Office Staff may be relocated again (i.e. Renovation of Old Vo-Ag wing per various reports).  Having all Central Office Staff in the same area will allow information to move more quickly between Superintendent's Office, PPS, and Finance.  The ultimate savings to the district will be to take the current C.O. building at 369 Main St. offline completely.  I respectfully make this proposal with the full knowledge that further discussion will ensue for the benefit of the district and its students and families.
Subject:
8.D. Additional Speech and Language Pathologist Request
Speaker(s):
Kevin Farr
Rationale:
I would like to make the board aware of a situation that may exist between KIS and KHS Speech Language Pathology Services.   It has come to my attention that we need to discuss the level of service currently available at these two schools.  PPS is putting together information pertinent to this for our discussion, but was not available to attach to the agenda.  Since you will not have the information in a timely manner, I have no expectations of action this month.
