Monrovia SchoolLink Preview for Wednesday, May 26, 2004 meeting, Wednesday June 2 meeting & Monday, June 7, 2004 meeting
Three meetings and a study session coming up. I think I'm going to particularly recommend the study session, because that's where the board will discuss what to do about getting the high school grades up. When I spoke with Clare and Bryan, they said they wanted people to give their ideas on what to do to help the high school. So, if you've got ideas, they're saying they have ears. Also, if you're interested in the GATE program, there'll be a GATE program vote. Looks like this is just the approval of work already done, but you might want to show up if the topic interests you.

BOARD STUDY SESSION ~ On May 26 at 5:45 p.m., the board will discuss the high school academic performance, Here's specifically what the board agenda item says: "The Board will engage in an exploratory discussion of the current performance data at the high school level; the State Superintendent’s proposed improvement domains for high schools across California; and the Board’s thoughts on focus areas for improvement and refinement at the high school in 2004-05." You should be able to speak at the study session; just let the administrative assistant (should be Kris Mariconda) know that you'd like to say something.
REGULAR BOARD MEETING ~ On May 26 at 7:00 p.m. (same night as the study session above) the board will hold its regular meeting.
Items 4.1-4.1.3: The board will recognize schools and employees for their achievements.
Item 4.2 ~ A time for you. Public hearing for items not on the agenda. Your time to tell the board and administration anything you think they ought to know.
Item 5.1 ~ Accept a bunch of gifts, including 5,000 bucks from the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts to be used to purchase band instruments for use by students at Clifton Middle School.
Item 6.11 and 6.12 ~ Accept new science and social science textbooks.
Item 9.1 ~ Vote on whether to expel an unnamed Santa Fe Middle School student.
Item 6.13 ~ The board will approve the school district’s 2004-2005 Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) application to the California Department of Education.
Item 9.2 ~ The board will receive for first reading proposed new Board Policy 9512.1 and proposed new Board Policy 9512.2, as part of the Board By-Laws. [Gee. I wonder what they are.]
Other stuff two, but I'm getting groggy and am aobout 2 fall aslip.
