Tavares, FL Mon. Aprile 20, 2015
The new agenda for next Monday's Lake County School Board meeting should be on the District's website because the Board's assistant mailed it out to those on here "newsletter" email list. They have a number of policies discussed today at a workshop that will be on the discussion agenda, and they will be re-voting on school boundaries for Lake Minneola High School.
At the workshop, Bill Mathias passed out documents to the Board to show his analysis that any choice of optionswill result in the need to install 10 portables at the school anyway. They did not discuss options, which will be saved for the Monday meeting.
Today's workshop included discussion of "re-allocating" funds to other departments as a result of a Bill Gates grant. There are two more expensive administrative positions and some other positions being added, but Board member Marc Dodd questioned why they were reducing school counselors to pay for the positions. The answer was the Gates Grant study indicated Lake County had more counselors than other schools, so the recommendation was to reshift some positions to other uses. I will post more later - probably Wednesday. Lots of stuff was discussed at the workshop today.
I will post a longer update on Wednesday.
