Board Meeting
There will be only one board meeting in July. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 at 7:30 PM in the Campus Audion.

Negotiations Update - June 27, 2009
A letter to our community

The school board has made a proposal with a 3.5% average salary increase for each of four years and that requests increases in the teacher contribution to medical insurance.

We believe the current Association counter-proposal is greater than the 3.9% increase indicated in their press release. We also believe the difference in cost between the two proposals, which is about three-quarters of a million dollars over the term of the contract, is greater than the community is willing to accept in this economic environment.

The school board regrets the turmoil resulting from the nearly two years of negotiations. We can only ask that our community keep in mind the starting point on which these negotiations began with the Association at 6.8% and the board at 4.3%. It has not been a easy problem to solve.

The board will present a new proposal to the Association in July. It will be a fair proposal. We thank you for your patience and understanding, and hope the long process is finally approaching its conclusion.


Next date set for negotiations is July 17, 9:30 am.

Students and Texting and “Sexting” is becoming commonplace among adolescents and teens. The district would like to make parents aware of the danger. Please review the attached links for some background on these issues. The cell phone activity can have criminal repercussions for children and adults, particularly when someone holds onto images or passes them along. These activities along with images in face book accounts can effect employment opportunities and college admissions. Be aware and talk with your children.
