10.C. 2023-2024 School Calendar
Description:
RECOMMENDATION It is the administration’s recommendation that the School Board approve Calendar Option A as the 2023-2024 school calendar for all schools. PERTINENT FACTS: Three calendar options were originally presented for the 2023-2024 school year, Option A, Option B, and Option C. Starting in February, stakeholders at each school site were encouraged to attend the school ASC meeting and vote on their preferred calendar. The original vote for the school calendar was tied between Calendar Options A & B (Calendar Option C did not receive any votes). This vote used an electoral-type system that allocated 2 points to Thorne Bay ASC vote and 1 point to the ASC vote at each of the other schools. Due to this tie, each ASC was asked to hold a second, ballot vote between Calendar Options A & B with the outcome to be determined by popular vote. The ASC ballot vote was also tied, with 41 votes for Calendar Option A and 41 votes for Calendar Option B. To break the tie, a Google form was sent to all teachers and other certified staff asking them to vote on their preferred calendar. The results of that vote were 11 votes for Calendar Option A and 6 votes for Calendar Option B.

11.F. Preschool Playground Equipment Purchase
Description:
RECOMMENDATION It is the administration's recommendation that the School Board approve purchasing the playground equipment from BYO Recreation. PERTINENT FACTS The purchase of the playground equipment is paid with funds from the preschool grant. We requested quotes from three companies for playground equipment that would meet the needs of our schools and the requirements of the preschool grant. Each company was given the dimensions for each item, required age range, weight and a picture with a breakdown on the large items of what was offered (i.e. number of slides, climbing feature, fitness feature etc.). Though each quote included similar items, some of the larger items were not comparable in size or capacity. The quote that is being recommended for approval, while not the least expensive, is the only quote that met all requirements/needs. Quotes: AAA State of Play: $42,763 BYO Recreation: $47,407 Left Coast Recreation: $48,668 |
