Tomorrow's meeting

Tomorrow's board meeting is at GD school, the agenda can be found here.

Items I think are of note:

VI. School Update c. High School Class Officer Update of Fall Activities– Paul Brost
-Principal Brost and some of the High School class officers will update the board on not homecoming week activity.


IX. New Business
A. Discussion and Possible Approval of Education for Employment Plan – Sheila Hibner.
- The Education for Employment Plan ensures we have a comprehensive curriculum span that prepares the student for a successful career by developing both academic and workplace competencies. The plan is a good example of the articulated curriculum planning that goes beyond a single classroom.


IX. New Business
D. Discussion and Possible Approval of the Resolution for Revenue Limit Exemption for
Energy Efficiency

-The state is no allowing school districts to raise funds beyond the revenue limit for energy efficiency projects, such as the ones we are in the process of completing. At MG we are ahead of the game and have already funded our projects through guaranteed performance contracts- a better deal for the taxpayers. However there is the matter of $50,000 budgeted for the TP roof, an amount that was above what could be included in the contracts. By taking advantage of the revenue limit exemption we can close this gap without tapping the general fund.


X. Old Business
E. District Goals Update

-We will be hearing from the administration plans for meeting the district goals as adopted by the board earlier this year.

F. 2010-2011 Budget Deficit Discussion
- We are anticipating a potential budget deficit of $1M next year. The board will be discussing the approach we wish to take to address this major issue.
