(Supt. Logan is posting redistricting updates each Wednesday on the Hot Topics Blog due to the importance of sharing updated information in helping people to understand the significance of the pending budget shortfall.)
• Reorganization: Opting to reorganize K-8 school configurations will bring us within capacity and efficient operation.
• Salary Supplement: A reduction proposal will not be included in the budget proposal.
• Board of Education meeting files posted online: Meeting files are generally posted on the district website Wednesdays prior to Board of Education meetings.
• When doors open for the February 14th Board of Education meeting:Due to a reception for National Board Certified teachers being held at 5:00 p.m. in the Horton multipurpose room, doors will open for the board meeting at 5:40 p.m. (2/9/11 UPDATE TO THIS POST: The closed session originally scheduled for 5:45 p.m. has been moved to after the 6:30 p.m. open session. Doors will now open at 6:00 p.m. The 5:00 p.m. reception will go on as planned.)
• When doors open for the February 14th Board of Education meeting:
• Time allotted for public comment during the February 14th Board of Education meeting: There will be 30 minutes allotted for public comment on the topic of redistricting/reorganization. Anyone wishing to make public comment must sign up on a designated sheet. Each of the five impacted K-8 schools will be allotted two speakers, each of whom can speak for three minutes (or have one of the two speakers waive his/her time to a single speaker), filling the allotted 30 minutes. If a school does not have a speaker, the allotted time (6 minutes) will be available for other speakers on a first come-first serve basis through the sign-up sheet. If we have speakers that wish to make comments on something other than redistricting/reorganization, we may allot an extra three minutes per subject.
