Mrs. Kavanagh greeted
the board and shared pictures of the progress of El Camino Real. As of this report sidewalks were being
poured and grading for asphalt parking lots was taking place. The permanent power is scheduled possibly
for the week of July 16, 2007. Mrs. Kavanagh
informed the board of the status of the Siemens law suit. There had been a settlement of a
subcontractor and the district received approximately $47,000.00 which was
endorsed back to the lawyers to be retained for fees owed. Mrs. Kavanagh also reported
that all three sites are near being fully staffed. Haven Drive still needs two teachers and
Sierra Vista needs one. This is the
last week of Regular summer school and Migrant summer school continues
through July 13, 2007. Mr. Bowling led a
discussion and review of the 2007/2008 Graduation Policy and will bring it
back for board approval in July 2007. For
school year 2007/2008 the policy will change to a credit system based
on grade point average. Haven Drive staff is dedicated to helping the
students take their academics very seriously with increased intervention to
assist students who need extra help. |
