March 26, 2008 at 7:00 PM - Regular Board Meeting

Rationale:  We will start the meeting with a Project Adventure activity, similar to the activities that will be done with students on the proposed low-ropes course to be constructed at KIS.  This will be an opportunity for board members to experience the kind of challenge, and learning, students have in this environment.  Students currently participate in these activities with Eric at KIS, and as part of the PE program at the high school.

Please meet in the KIS rotunda at 6:50 so we can start the activity on time.  Dress comfortably!

Rationale:  This is a follow up to the discussion at the January 23rd board meeting.  At that time the Board asked Dan Costello to develop a credit recovery plan for board discussion.  This plan would include summer and year-round opportunities for students.  Administration was also asked to look at the cost of various program options for board consideration.

One likely result of this discussion will be the need to revise Policy #5123.2 and its accompanying regulation.  We will present a draft revision as a discussion starting point.  Assuming the board wants to offer credit recovery as an option, the draft policy will address three areas for consideration: to whom credit recovery options will be offered, under what circumstances, and at what cost to the student and district.

Rationale:  This is on the agenda in case it is necessary for the Board to take action to non-renew a teacher.
