Bryant Lee said improvements to the lab are particularly needed. Dr. Gangel noted that the bond money can only provide design work.
Chairman Beverly Massie said the school system needs to have the design work done to know what to put in next year’s budget to actually carry out the renovation.
Assistant superintendent Mary Ann Biggs reported on plans to use volunteers at both schools. Volunteer coordinator Jan Makela has been working with the staff to develop guidelines, she reported.
Volunteers are working with librarians at both schools and are helping with keyboarding with fourth grade teachers, Mrs. Biggs reported. There is another group which is unable to work during the school day but will come in after school and help teachers display student work in the halls.
At the high school volunteers are being encouraged to come during lunch time and establish relationships with students.
Mrs. Biggs said so far most of the volunteers are parents and grandparents, but the schools want to reach out to other community members.
A new state law requires that the schools send out forms for parents to sign notifying them they must participate in making sure their children obey school rules and they can be fined if they do not sign and return the form and if they do not cooperate with the schools. The law also sets out complicated rules for requiring meetings with parents when students are suspended.
Dr. Gangel said they school system will follow the law but is not likely to seek to fine parents except in extraordinary circumstances.
He said apparently the current form parents sign indicating they and their students have read the student handbook does not meet the laws requirements.
