Description:
Last Thursday I spent the day at the capitol building in St. Paul with SWWC superintendents. We had the opportunity to sit with many of the legislators from our districts. I had the chance to meet Scott Van Binsbergen at dinner on Wednesday night and he was one of the legislators who visited with us during the day on Thursday.
As we met with state leaders we discussed many of the concerns we have with school finances. The focus was mainly on the many unfunded mandates from last year's legislative session. Some of the newly created unfunded mandates and the concerns their impact has on student achievement include:

VIII.B. Approve update to the 2024-2025 Calendar
Description:
There are two changes. First, the last week of school we are scheduled to have an early out on Wednesday and then another early out on Friday. I am asking that we modify the calendar to make Wednesday a full school day and allow Friday to be put on the calendar as a teacher's day, which will also be designated as a make-up day in case of a school closing.
The second change has actually already happened. President's Day was supposed to be a day off for the teachers. One of the teachers, however, pointed out that the calendar online showed it as a work day. She informed the principals, and they had the staff come in on that day. It turned out the calendar online had an error on it and wasn't the calendar the board approved last year. Once we realized the mistake, the teachers suggested that they take off 1/2 of the day of February 14 and get rid of the 1/2 work day on May 20th. Currently, graduation is on 5/16, they are scheduled for a full day on 5/19. If approved I will send out a notice to families tomorrow. |
