Monrovia SchoolLink Preview for Wednesday, May 12, 2004 meeting & Monday, May 17, 2004 meeting
Attention, all you parents of Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) students. Your topic is on the School Board agenda again, so check below. There are actually two (or maybe three) meetings outlined here, so make sure you get the right one.
~ Brad Haugaard (brad@sacklunch.net)
Wednesday, May 12 at 5:45 p.m.
GATE ~ There will be a board study session about the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) Program. The agenda says, "The Board will continue discussion on GATE Program development for 2004-05 and discuss recommendations outlined in the GATE application." Note: This is at *5:45*, before the regular meeting.
Wednesday, May 12 at 7 p.m.
HONOREES ~ The board is going to honor a bunch of people, including the Plymouth Elementary School Science Olympiad Team (about 15 people), which took gold medals at the Los Angeles County Science Olympiad held at California State Polytechnic University on March 6; and it'll honor three of Tom Reale's students for achievement in a TV/Video Production competition at the Xanadau Film Festival.
EAR BENDING ~ Item 4.2 is the ever-popular "Public hearing for items not on the agenda," which means you can get up and bend the board's ears about anything you please.
GIFTS ~ The board is going to accept a bunch of money and other gifts from various groups. (I've never seen the board turn down free stuff, so I'm assuming the goodies will be accepted.) One big, fat gift is $2,000 from the Monrovia Arts Festival Association, to be used in support of the Art Program at Monrovia High School. Another is a gift of miscellaneous Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter supplies and decorations, having a declared value of $3,054.20.
EXPEL ~ Consider expelling two students fom Santa Fe Middle school. Somebody's in trou-ble! Actually two somebodies. This may not be as interesting as it sounds. All the discussion will have been done in closed session, so the board will probably just vote on whether to expel two unnamed students.
Monday, May 17, 2004, 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
BEGINNINGS ~ This is a one-topic special "workshop." Here's what the agenda says: "The Board will participate in the third of five one-day "Good Beginnings" workshops with a California School Boards Association consultant regarding Board of Education roles and responsibilities, team efforts, and goal setting."
WHERE ~ If you want to go, the district offices are located at 325 E. Huntington Drive, at the northwest corner of Huntington Drive and California Avenue.
ON THE WEB ~ You may also see Monrovia School Link, and some back issues, on the Web at www.monroviaschoollink.com.
