ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA

There were two additions to the consent agenda:

1.      A new Item 8.09 – proposed overnight travel to Central Washington University on July 12-14, 2007 for Shelton High School band students; and

2.      A new Item 8.10 – supplemental personnel report.

Holly Sharpe made a motion to adopt the agenda with the addition of Items 8.09 and 8.10.  Peter Boome seconded the motion and the motion passed 4-0.

 

Marty Crow read the district’s mission statement.

 

DISCUSSION ITEMS

7.01 – Athletic process and athletic handbook:

Bill Hicks reviewed the district’s athletic process, which included the student athletic handbook and coaches standard operating procedures manual.   Holly Sharpe was uncomfortable with a coach who is not a teacher being allowed access to Skyward to track their athlete’s grades and attendance.  After a brief discussion it was agreed that the wording in the student handbook will be revised so that a coach being able to access student’s grades and attendance stands out more clearly so parents are aware of this happening.  Bill will also get communication out to parents so they know that only the head coach will have access to their student’s information.  Bill said that WIAA requires periodic 3 to 6 week grade checks and we do grade checks at 6 weeks.

 

7.02 – Proposed 2006-07 budget extension for the Debt Service Fund:

Jackie McGuire explained the need for a budget extension in the Debt Service Fund for the 2006-07 school year due to additional costs incurred when the district refinanced bonds earlier this year.  We are required to hold a public hearing on the budget extension, which will be held at the July 10th regular board meeting, as well as the adoption of a resolution.

 

7.03 – Proposed 2007-08 agreement with the New Market Vocational Skills Center:

The 2007-08 agreement for interdistrict cooperative educational services with the New Market Vocational Skills Center was presented for approval.  Joan Zook commented that we have approximately 80 students who attend some outstanding programs at the Skills Center.  Holly Sharpe moved, seconded by Marty Crow, to approve the 2007-08 interdistrict cooperative agreement with the New Market Vocational Skills Center.  The motion passed 4-0.
