LAST WEEK IN YOUR SCHOOL BOARD
The School Board met on December 6th for a Board Work Session. Board got department updates from Curriculum Director Bruce Bradley and Personnel Director Greg Gurka on the various things their individual departments are doing in the district. The board got an update on next year’s school calendar. The board had more discussion about doing a pilot program for All Day Kindergarten in the school district. Students would be selected by lottery process and the district would charge an estimated tuition of about $2,500-$2,700. On Monday’s Regular Board Agenda there will be a formal resolution to start All Day Kindergarten for the 2012-2013 school year. Board got an update on the school district’s enrollment and demographics. The Board also had discussion about the state of Ohio’s new accountability and ranking system that will be in place for school district’s next year. Board had discussion about the impact of HB 153 and how some SB5 items were snuck into the state budget that mirror SB5 that school district will have to deal with. Treasurer McIntosh gave the Board a summary on the final Stadium Renovation Project cost and figures. The stadium project finished $422,800 under budget. Total cost of the project was $4,657,228. The Board also discussed plans for Board Development and setting Board Goals for 2012.

On December 9th I had the opportunity to attend the IT for Girls Luncheon at the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center.
