Congratulations to Melissa Galles and Tasha Melton!

STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE REPORTS
LP Student Board Representative, Samantha Powell, reported on winning the homecoming game and the senior class winning the homecoming competition. She also reported on a Civil War reenactment at Butte College last Saturday, their 1st annual car show, ASB decorating windows for the holidays and red ribbon week, Home Economics handing out pins and selling shirts and other items to support breast cancer awareness, and upcoming events including NJROTC going on a UC Berkley tour on 10/19, a band competition in Santa Cruz on 10/20, a safe school meeting for parents on 10/24, and the band Festivo on 10/27.
OHS Student Board Representative, Nou Vang, stated that homecoming is next week. There will be lunchtime activities every day and the theme is action movies. They are decorating hallways this year instead of making floats because of the bad weather. He also reported on the possibility of FNL doing a drunk driving scenario at the bell game next year, attending a World Café conference, and upcoming events including an all school BBQ, red ribbon week, the Kevin Kimble basketball tournament and a canned food drive.
HEARING OF INDIVIDUALS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS
Kristy Bresette from the SC Champ Collaborative talked about working with OHS on nutrition curriculum. She asked that students be allowed to take a Project Lean survey regarding food choices and exercise. The Superintendent hasn’t seen the curriculum or MOU yet. He requested to have a meeting with Ms. Bresette. If the curriculum and MOU meet the district’s approval, both items will be placed on the next board agenda for approval.
RECOGNITION OF INDIVIDUALS WHO WISH TO SPEAK ON AGENDA ITEMS (None)
NON-ACTION INFORMATIONAL ITEMS AND REPORTS
3. Board Comments and Reports
Mr. Bruce stated that the auditor’s had requested to meet with him to answer a few questions. He asked Mrs. Watts how the audit was going so far. She reported everything has been going fine. Mr. Hottell stated that he is impressed with the way that LP has conducted themselves since the September 28th incident.
4. Superintendent
Mr. Robinson reported that all sites will be holding an informational meeting with parents and community members to educate parents on their role during a lockdown on October 24th from 6:00 – 7:30. Each site will send a ConnectEd message to parents about the purpose, time and location of the meeting. The LP incident was discussed at the County Superintendent’s meeting this morning. Many districts that do not have a plan in place have been prodded to start working on one. He informed the board about a BCOE board workshop on January 12th from 8:00 – noon that will focus on crisis planning, charter oversight, boardsmanship, special education issues and declining enrollment. He received statistics that indicate that our district currently has 97 migrant education students enrolled. He and Nancy Negri attended a great workshop earlier today on hot student issues. He reported that the SS/HS grant is coming to an end and some resources may no longer be available. The sites need to pick their priorities.
5. Administration
Mrs. Watts reported that the auditors are keeping her staff busy this week. Negotiations are scheduled with OSTA and CSEA next week.
Dr. Willenberg reported that he has been busy with debriefings of the LP and OHS lockdowns. He is working on resolving issues with Nextels and safety plan reviews. OAE’s ADA cap for the year is 644; they are currently at 132.9. He distributed applications for the Habitat for Humanity house that does not have a family yet. The welding night classes in the new OHS shop will hopefully start in November. They have been holding small engine classes in the auto bay. He will be attending an Adult Education Consortium in Ontario tomorrow.
Ms. Negri reported that she is using Title II funds to cover professional development activities that were originally slated to be paid for out of VEA funds. The money previously allocated for VEA professional development will now be spent on the shop at OHS. The California Healthy Kids Survey will be given during the last week of April. She has meetings scheduled tomorrow about the intra-district transfer and physical education policies. Special education students are now required to pass the CAHSEE to receive a high school diploma. The district did not meet AMAO #2 (attaining English proficiency) on the CELDT. The district can go into PI if we miss it again.
