What happened at the Board meeting?

To find out the answer to this question, you would usually call someone who you thought would have gone to the meeting. Or, you would wait until the next morning to read the Daily Home.

If you happened to have come here thinking this just might be a vehicle for getting the word out quickly, good for you!

Here are the highlights:

1. You are going to need to make a couple of changes on your calendar. April 27th and April 30th are now holidays. May 4^th and May 7^th are now school days. This change is due to a change in the date of Race Weekend. This change will mean parents will need to be made aware. The appropriate changes on STI Office will need to be made.
2. Our school system is going to pursue SACS “District Accreditation.” With District Accreditation, the entire district goes through accreditation one time every five years instead of every school going through the process on its own. Think about it: one visiting team instead of seven. One document instead of seven. Handling all of those details one time instead of seven. Tomorrow, our school system will send a formal letter asking to enter the process. If accepted, we will have 18 months to prepare for the review. You will hear much more about this move during the coming months.
3. One retirement and one hire: Joann Duncan has announced her retirement, and she will be sorely missed. Congratulations to D’Toria Porter who has been hired as an instructional assistant at R.L. Young.
