Tommorrow board meeting agenda can be found here.
Items of Note:
X. Unfinished Business
A. Discussion and Possible Approval of 6th Grade Programming - Content and Location (30 Min)
In the past we have asked for an evaluation of best practices for 6th grade school programming, i.e. whether or not a middle school or elementary curriculum better serves students. The board will receive an administrative report summarizing the research and the practices of other districts.
B. Discussion of Possible Consolidation of Maywood & Winnequah Schools (30 Min)
The board will hear about the details of a possible consolidation, including the logistics of Winnequah as K-6 and any capital expenses incurred.
C. Discussion and Possible Approval of Addition of Modular Units in Cottage Grove (20 Min)
We will also hear an assesment of possible needs for additional space at Cottage Grove elementary for next year.
XI. New Business
A. Presentation by Deb Lyons: A Comparison Analysis of the United States and the Chinese Education Systems
What this district needs is new ideas for ways to provide quality education within the budget constraints. Comparison to other systems is an excellent way to develop ideas and creative solutions.

And?
Peter-
So glad to hear that you are finally addressing the craziness of trying to run two middle schools in two different towns. I would really love to know the cost of all those driving teachers.
And, finally discussing the closing of Maywood. Lots of folks will show up to protest, but it is a great thing to think through.
Please see Peter McKeever's post on Doug Wood's Blog. Excellent.
