Members of the Killingly community are encouraged to share their thoughts with the Board of Education and are invited to do so during this segment of the meeting.

Rationale:
Please join me in congratulating Jen LaFountain and Casey Robillard on receiving the Honorable Mention Award at the UCONN HDFS (Human Development & Family Studies) Conference for Early College Experience students, on April 2, 2013 The UCONN faculty and undergraduate students were very impressed with our students' level of professionalism and research skills. Jen, Casey, Jordan Provost, Ashley Inthelauxy, Cheyenne Perron and Rachell Basley presented their research project findings to the university faculty as well as students. They competed with other HDFS students from local area high schools enrolled in the 1070 course. They did an outstanding job!

11.A.1. 2012-13 District Calendar Revision
|
|
| Speaker(s): |
Kevin Farr
|
|
|
Rationale:
The rationale for the change to our current calendar involves changing Monday, June 24th, 2013 and Tuesday, June 25th, 2013 to Professional Development days. This would make Friday, June 21st, 2013 the last day for students. We have had conversations with the KEA and they are in favor of this change.
With all the requirements in professional development this change would greatly enhance our ability to "front load" some important topics for our teachers before the summer break. Teacher evaluation being the most important, but comprehensive iPAD training as well. Graduation date would remain on June 14th, 2013 with activities available for seniors on June 17, 18, and 19. |

|
|
| : |
14.A. KAA-Sick Time
|
|
|
Rationale:
Joan Gardner has requested FMLA for herself for the month of April. She is meeting with her physician to complete the paperwork. The orginal letter from KAA was regarding establishing a sick bank to care for her husband whom had a terminal illness. The KAA would like the opportunity to contribute up to 25 days of sick time. Ms. Gardner will take the month of May unpaid returning June 1, 2013. |
||
| : |
14.B. KEA Sick Time
|
|
|
Rationale:
Kim Bridge had her fusion surgery four weeks ago. Although the surgery went well, there has been a complication with nerve pain. While recovering from the surgery she was able to take medication to address the severe pain. She is not able to use this medication while at work. Because of this she is in constant pain. She is extremely greatful, as is the KEA, for the generosity the Board of Education demonstrated with the establishment of a sick bank. She is asking for an additional 2 days to carry her through the rest of this week. She feels that between this week and next week's vacation she will be in a much better place with her pain and be able to fully resume her duties as a Phys. Ed. teacher. The days would continue to be pulled from a list of volunteers which was generated when the bank was initially created.
Sincerely,
Sara Schmidt
KEA President
