Mission Statement

Educate every student to succeed.

North Star Vision

The “North Star” is a vision of equity and excellence for RUSD student achievement. In spring 2009 a coalition of District stakeholders proposed that the North Star be the shared vision among all employees. This vision shows the pathway from kindergarten to high school graduation including stations along the way that assure success for all students. Success upon graduation from high school is defined as career and/or college readiness.

Our Quality Policy Quality Policy - We recognize parents/legal guardians as the customers of RUSD instructional services and pledge to satisfy their needs and requirements for the development of mastery level skills in their children and for comprehensive customer service. We also recognize district schools as the customers of our operational and support services and pledge to satisfy their needs and requirements for effective and timely provision of those services. We commit to continually improve the effectiveness of our processes, practices and programs in order to satisfy customer expectations and achieve our quality objectives as listed below in priority sequence. Quality Objective #1 - Student Achievement - To continually improve the processes through which students achieve academic success by concentrating on each student's progress toward proficiency in and mastery of defined academic skills and concepts. Quality Objective #2 - Student Engagement (Psychological Base and Behavior) - To continually improve the teaching and learning environment to enhance the potential for academic achievement and engage all learners in developing skills as communicators, collaborators, problem solvers, quality producers and responsible citizens. Quality Objective #3 - Customer Satisfaction - To continually reduce customer complaints and reach or exceed customer satisfaction goals by achieving our instructional and engagement objectives and improving communication, ease of interaction and respect for our customers. Quality Objective #4 - Operational Effectiveness and Efficiency - To continually improve operational effectiveness and efficiency in order to allocate maximum resources to instructional and customer services.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND PROTOCOL

The following information is provided so students and parents may be aware of some required procedures if either of the following situations occur. Regarding Child Abuse: In compliance with state law, many categories of District staff members are required to inform an appropriate Human Services Department or law enforcement agency if the staff member has reasonable cause to suspect that a child seen in the course of professional duties has been abused or neglected or has been threatened with an injury and that abuse of the child will occur. It is not the responsibility of school personnel to prove the child has been abused or neglected, nor to determine whether the child is in need of protection. If necessary, the Human Services Department may take a student into "temporary physical custody". School personnel are not to contact the child's family or any other person with regard to the report being made, to determine the cause of any suspected abuse or neglect or to notify that a student has been taken into temporary physical custody. This type of contact is the responsibility of the agency receiving or investigating the report. Interviews of Students Suspected of a Crime • Age appropriate terms: Children less than ten (10) years old are taken into custody; children ten (10) years

old to sixteen (16) years old are apprehended; children seventeen (17) years old or older are arrested. • When a student is not being taken into custody, apprehended or arrested, the student has the choice of

speaking or not speaking to the officer, and the student is free to leave if the student wants to. The principal or designee is not required to notify the student's parents/guardian that the student is being interviewed in cases where the questioning is limited to gathering data from witnesses.

• If criminal prosecution is contemplated, the law enforcement officer shall advise the student of the general

nature of the crime of which he/she is suspected. The principal or designee will immediately attempt to inform the parent/guardian that the student is being interrogated by law enforcement officers if an investigation into that student's commission of a criminal offense is being conducted, or if the student requests assistance or presence of a parent/guardian. If it is not possible to reach the individual responsible for the student, the time, date and numbers called in an attempt to notify will be documented for the school's records.

• If a student is being taken into custody, apprehended, or is under arrest, the student is not free to leave. The

student's 5th Amendment rights and case law will apply. District Disclosure of Information School districts are now required by law to disclose student directory data to the city attorney, as well as other specified entities, for the purpose of enforcing school attendance, investigating alleged criminal or delinquent activity or responding to a health or safety emergency. This disclosure can only be made if the district has provided the required student directory data notice to parents/guardians. If you wish to have directory data withheld, you must complete and submit the "Request to Withhold Directory Data" which is available at your child's school or the Support Services office, 2220 Northwestern Avenue, 631-7181. This form will be mailed to you upon request. School districts are now required by law to provide the name of dropouts to a court in response to an order by the court.

RUSD Code of Student Responsibilities and Rights Parent/Guardian and Student Agreement

Each student has a right to a public education. Disciplinary measures that will take this right away from a student will be used when necessary. Student behavior that constantly disrupts class work, involves a considerable amount of disorder, or violates the rights of others will not be permitted. It is the responsibility of each student and parent/guardian to be familiar with rules stated in the Code. Ignorance of these rules is not a valid reason for non-compliance. I have received a copy of the Racine Unified School District's Code of Student Responsibilities and Rights. I am aware that I must know, understand, and abide by the rules that apply to students who attend schools of the District.

FACILITIES MANAGEMENT

Agenda Item: Fratt Elementary School Addition and Alterations

Presenting: Frank Jarosz, Director of Operations and Facilities Management

Description: Fratt Elementary School was originally constructed in 1925 and a portable classroom unit installed in 1988. In the recent past, the portable classroom units have deteriorated beyond normal repairs. Funding is coming from District a Qualified School Construction Bond (QSCB), which the District applied and received. The project is one-step to the reinvestment plan. The scope of work is to add two classrooms, multi-propose room, staff lounge, and library. Additionally, there will be an elevator installed to make the facility ADA complaint. The project will include the latest technology, a geothermal system, to heat and cool the addition. The geothermal system will be expandable to heat and cool the complete building. However at this point, the existing school’s HVAC system upgrade will have to be treated as a separate project. If the HVAC upgrade were to be a part of the addition, it would put the overall project over budget. The second phase of this project is to remove the portable classroom units and the coalbunker, which is under the portable classrooms. The area will be filled in with the appropriate fill and the entire area where the coalbunker was located will be asphalted Facilities are seeking LEED certification for the addition. Below describes what is required to achieve this certification. The certification that is obtained is certified which is the first level of certification. The LEED 2009 Green Building Rating System for Schools New Construction and Major Renovations is a set of performance standards for certifying the design and construction of commercial or institutional buildings and high-rise residential buildings of all sizes, both public and private. The intent is to promote healthful, durable, affordable, and environmentally sound practices in building design and construction. Prerequisites and credits in the LEED Green Building Rating Systems address 7 topics: Sustainable Sites (SS) Water Efficiency (WE) Energy and Atmosphere (EA) Materials and Resources (MR) Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Innovation in Design (ID) Regional Priority (RP)

Agenda Item:

Print Shop New Copier

Presenting: Description:

Frank Jarosz, Director of Facilities Facilities Management The printing presses that are currently being used in the print shop are old and in need of replacement. We currently are having some problems finding replacement parts for these presses to keep them running. We are also experiencing the same problems in the bindery department. The larger machines that do the collating are becoming more and more difficult to get repair parts for. The scope of this project is to purchase a new copier that will replace the main printing press. This new copy machine will be able to print, collate, staple and fold. It will increase efficiency in our copy center. The goal over the next year is to replace the remaining press with a new copier. Replacing the two outdated presses with state of the art copy machines. The two companies that met all of the requirements were Konica Minolta and Xerox. Both companies provide the new copier and all of the supporting equipment packaged in a four year lease with a one dollar buy out at the end of the lease. Konica Minolta also provided a direct purchase price as a cost savings measure for the district. This project was advertised and the following companies responded.

RACINE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT 2010 – 2011 INTERIM BUDGET

Fund Financial Statements

School finance practices and governmental accounting rules require that the school district segregate financial transactions into distinct accounting entities, called funds. For purposes of analysis, funds are grouped as either operating or capital project. Operating funds are used to report on-going annual costs of operating the district. The operating funds include the following:

General Fund (Fund 10) Special Education Fund (Fund 27)

Special Revenue Fund (Funds 21 & 23) Debt Service Funds (Funds 38 & 39)

Capital Project Funds (Funds 41, 43, 45 & 49) Food Service Fund (Fund 50)

Community Service Fund (Fund 80) The community service fund was created in the 2006-2007 school year to allow for the segregation of financial transactions related to community use of facilities and programs operated for the benefit of the entire community. Capital project funds are created whenever acquired resources are restricted for the acquisition or construction of specific capital projects or purchase of capital items. Racine reports on four capital project funds. A separate financial statement showing revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance is prepared for each fund. A combined statement showing revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance for all funds is also provided. The combined statement removes interfund transactions to avoid overstating revenues or expenditures.

BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS

The following assumptions were used to create the interim budget:

1. Pending changes to laws and regulations regarding school finance will not be adjusted in such a way as to have a material impact on the budget.

2. Programs and support services will not be significantly changed. However, the district will utilize $3.4 million in federal Title ARRA stimulus funds and use $2.8 million in IDEA ARRA funds to alleviate budget reductions required by the state.

3. The district will continue to pursue staffing efficiencies worth $1,438,000 for the next fiscal year.

4. Property values will decrease 0.04%. 5. Membership (full-time equivalent enrollment) will be lower by 57 students.

The three year membership average for revenue limit purposes will decrease by 61 students because of the drop in student enrollment of 276 in 2008-09 and increase of 140 in 2009-10. Overall enrollment is expected to decrease by 53 students.

6. Because of the district’s declining enrollment, the state revenue limit law provides an exemption that avoids $634,661 in budget reductions.

7. The number of open enrollment students coming into the district will drop to 15. The number of open enrollment students leaving the district will increase from 650 to 761. Open enrollment tuition payments by RUSD are expected to exceed $4.76 million.

8. General state aid will increase approximately $3,426,779 which represents a 2.5% increase.

9. Labor costs will increase for all employee groups consistent with ratified collective bargaining agreements and historical patterns.

10. Over $1.5 million is provided for the board approved textbook adoptions, and technology, for mathematics, social studies, science, and music. Payments will be made via a lease to spread the budget impact.

11. Utility costs are reduced by $400,000 due to efficiency measures and facility improvements.

The recommended interim budget complies with rules and regulations of the State of Wisconsin and federal government as well as policies of the Racine Unified School District, including an increase in the fund balance of the General Fund by an amount not less than $1,000,000. The budget will allow for sustaining existing programs but does not contribute to continued building of organizational capacity for future years nor address future facility needs.

ENROLLMENT INFORMATION School district revenues and costs are directly related to the number of pupils served as well as the curriculum and support programs offered. Long-term facility needs are based on projected enrollment. Consequently, enrollment projections constitute the beginning point for calculation of budgets. The District uses a modified cohort-survival enrollment projection methodology. The enrollment history for the last 5 years, and projection for the next 5 years is shown below.

Following the calculation of projected enrollment based on the cohort-survival methodology, manual adjustments are made to reflect changes not reflected in the calculations.

Enrollment projections are used to plan for staffing levels, facility space needs and quantities of suppliesand materials.

PROPERTY TAX INFORMATION Property taxes are levied in the following operating funds:

General Fund Debt Service Funds

Community Service Fund The amount of property taxes a school district is permitted to raise in the general and debt service funds is limited by state imposed revenue caps. Property taxes are estimated to increase $3,664,412, which is 4.83% higher than last year. The estimated property tax rate will increase 4.87%, or $.38 per $1,000 equalized value, for a total estimated property tax rate of $8.23. The tax rate assumes a 0.04% decrease in property value for total equalized value of $9,673,653,450. Of the levy increase, approximately $495,000 is to reinstitute a tax levy for community service programs. Another $604,127 is to fund an energy efficiency project which is expected to save $185,000 annually in electricity costs. The following table shows the history of equalized value in the district, tax levies, and tax rates since the district was first formed in 1961-62. Changes to the total tax levy under state revenue limits are impacted by increases or decreases in state equalization aid and student enrollment, as well as referendum approved expenditures. For example, in 2005-06 RUSD received a $6 million increase in state equalization aid while in 2009-10 there was a $1.1 million decrease.

The graph below shows how the equalized tax levy rate for RUSD remains below bordering and peer school districts. The graph compares FY10 equalized tax levy rates and shows how the interim FY11 equalized tax rate will continue to be lower than the other listed districts when taking into consideration the anticipated levy increase.

The following graph portrays the components of the property tax levy increase. Approximately 42% of the increase is allowed by the state as part of the revenue cap formula. This amount includes a declining enrollment expenditure allowance of $634,611. The levy for debt service was increased to normal levels after using balances in the fund last fiscal year to reduce the tax levy. The community service levy was also restored to $495,000 after eliminating it last year to reduce the tax levy.

COMBINED STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE

The following statement combines all funds, providing an overall picture of the district’s financial operation in a single display. Overall, the district will have a reduction of fund balance of approximately $3.3 million. This is caused by the use of funds from previously approved capital projects and a reduction in the food service fund. When the impact of the capital project fund reduction is removed, the budget has an increase in total fund balance of $705,808. The actual total fund balance should be lower by more than $1.7 million since there were repair related expenditures funded out of Capital Projects Funds in FY10 and beginning balances do not reflect what will be actual ending balances for FY10. The projected change in fund balance by fund for the budget year is:

OTHER SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS TRUST & TEACH FUNDS

These funds (Funds 21 & 23) are used to account for trust funds received through gifts and donations from private parties which can be used for district operations. The TEACH Fund (Fund 23) is no longer used since all remaining funds were expended in FY09. The table below is for Fund 21.

Revenues

1 The revenues reflect donations annually received for board training. F21 revenues and expenditures not included in budget include PTO gifts.

Exenditures 2 Expenditures largely related to Project Cape grant revenues received. 3 Actual FY10 fund balance will be higher which will prevent a negative end

of the year fund balance for FY11.

DEBT SERVICE FUNDS There are two separate funds for reporting transactions related to repayment of the general obligation debt and refinancing of debt issues and other district obligations. One fund, Debt Service Fund – Not Referendum Approved, is subject to revenue limits. The other fund, Debt Service Fund – Referendum Approved is exempt from state imposed revenue limits. Tax levies assessed for the repayment of long-term debt, including interest costs, must be recorded in these funds. The assets in these funds may not be used for any other purpose as long as a related debt remains. The dollar amount of debt payments is established at the time the school board approves a resolution to borrow.

Fund Balance 1 Regulations require districts to levy taxes to support debt payments for the

calendar year. The difference in timing between the district’s fiscal year budget and calendar year debt service levy causes either an excess or deficiency in revenues over expenditures.

CAPITAL EXPANSION FUND State statute restricts the use of this fund to capital expenditures related to acquiring and remodeling buildings and sites, and maintenance or repair expenditures that extend or enhance the service life of buildings and building components, sites and site components. Expenditures from this fund are included in the calculation of equalization aid based on an amortization related to when resources are created in the fund. This fund was created several years ago to allow flexibility in scheduling annual capital projects. In addition to monies added to the fund in previous years, the referendum approved in April 2008 added a $3,300,000 levy for maintenance with additional district funds of $600,000. In order to maximize state equalization aid, levies to the fund were suspended in FY10 and projects were funded as part of general fund expenditures. Total FY10 expenditures exceeded $3.9 million.

Revenues

1 Tax levy to this fund was suspended in FY10 to maximize state aid.

Expenditures

CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS Capital project funds are used to segregate revenues and expenditures related to major capital projects. Typically these projects are financed through borrowing approved by the Board of Education, but may include resources from the sale or disposition of property. The use of segregated funds makes it easier to track expenditures from these financing sources. The following displays are statements of three projects, the QZAB Security loan project, the QSCB Fratt project, and the Technology Refresh using revenues from the sale of computers that were replaced. The QZAB funds were expended in FY10 while the remaining Fratt project funds will be used in FY11. The Technology Refresh funds will be used over a period of time to cover expenses related to the program.

FACILITIES MANAGEMENT

Agenda Item: High School Lighting Upgrade

Presenting: Frank Jarosz, Director of Operations and Facilities Management

Description:

Upgrade the lighting throughout Case, Park and Horlick High Schools. Lighting will improve by replacing older inefficient ballasts (T 12) with more energy efficient ballasts (T 8) and utilizing day lighting along with occupancy sensors. Lighting Retro-Fit: Replace ballasts, lamps and light fixtures with quantities and products listed in Project Specification at Case, Horlick and Park High Schools. In addition, provide lighting control strategies (both occupancy and day-lighting where appropriate) to qualify Racine Unified School District for potential incentive involvement from the current Focus on Energy Whole-Building Lighting Retrofit Program Application for Schools and Government Facilities.

There are two incentives Racine Unified School District will be able to take advantage of with this project. 1: Focus on Energy – Whole-Building Lighting Program for Schools and Government Facilities. Focus on Energy offers schools a program to bring your operations staff together with lighting design professionals to collaborate and “think outside the box” to reduce energy use. 2: The Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 2005, this provides a significant tax deduction to encourage the use of energy efficient products. The commercial Buildings Deduction offers a special financial incentive for building owners and/or leaseholders to adopt the most energy efficient lighting solutions.

Fiscal Note: Recommendation: Action:

The following contractors bid on this project;

General Contractor Bids Costs

Alternate - Second Shift

Premium Uihlein Electric $604,127.00 $615,992.00 Roman Electric Co $829,950.00 $834,750.00 Great Lakes Electric Corp $834,312.00 $867,152.00

Funding for this project will come from the BOE’s approval to exceed the revenue cap for energy reduction purposes. The 2009-11 biennial budget bill provided school districts the opportunity to pursue energy efficiency measures and renewable energy projects by requesting a revenue limit exemption that would allow the district to increase its tax levy to fund the expenditure. The proposed rules establish a process for school districts to request the revenue limit exemption. Among the requirements, school districts must identify the new expenditures, specify the performance indicators that will measure the cost savings as a result of those expenditures, and establish a time-line in which the expenditures will be recovered through energy cost savings. Facilities Management recommends awarding the contract to Uihlein Electric Account number - 10.841.0320.255000.000.842.701 The total final cost for this project is $604,127 if work is approved and completed during the summer months of 2010 or $615,992 if work must be completed on 2nd shift during the 2010-11 school year.

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE COMMUNICATIONS SESSION

February 22, 2010 5 p.m.

Minutes The Racine Unified School District Board of Education Legislative Committee Communication Session of Monday, February 22, 2010, was called to order at 5 p.m. The Committee met with elected officials to discuss federal and state issues and legislation. No action was taken. Dr. Shaw opened the meeting by talking about the current district work toward improving the relationship with legislators and the community. He shared and explained copies of the Learning First Framework, North Star, Reinvesting Plan and researched based strategies which all focus on student achievement. Federal Issues/Legislation (Sheri Krause, WASB Government Relations Specialist) Ms. Krause talked about several federal issues. She shared copies of the document, “Highlights of the President’s Proposed 2011 Budget,” and reviewed the major highlights. State Issues/Legislation State Representatives Mason, Turner and Vos were asked to respond to the following questions. Their comments are listed below.

1. What are your plans for school funding reform? 2. Will there be a budget adjustment bill or any further changes to school aids in this biennium? 3. A “Penny for Kids” initiative has gotten under way to advocate for a penny increase in the sales

tax to be dedicated to K-12 education. What are your thoughts on this? 4. This past session, the Legislature reduced the per pupil revenue limit increases while providing

revenue limit flexibility. What do you see as the future of revenue limits? 5. What legislation do you plan on advancing yet this session? 6. What are the legislative priorities for each of your caucuses? 7. Do you support the legislation granting the state superintendent greater authority to intervene in

struggling schools? 8. What do you see as the greatest challenges facing our public schools?

Senator Lehman: - I saw Tony Evers after his visit to Racine and he talked about how impressed he was with the

focus on the achievement gap closure and the energy coming out of this district. - #5 - Not too many affecting RUSD. More focus has been on Milwaukee and safety-

challenging students. Also Yorkville students having a clear path available to attend Union Grove High School; Virtual School Audit – not bumping the cap yet but watching the use of open enrollment for virtual schools. Tony Evers wants to see virtual schools inside the current schools. Legislators are watching what it will be like without the QEO.

- #6 - Very diverse gatherings. No major focus right now. - #7 - I support the superintendent having greater authority. - #8 - With leadership under Dr. Shaw, we can all see it is the achievement gap.

Representative Vos: - #6 -Priorities – 2/3 school funding, get rid of teacher tenure, more school control of cost

(wages), favor greater use of charter schools with no cap - Will not see a budget repair bill, we are at zero - Will not support tax increase to support education

- Flexibility to state superintendent – doesn’t affect Racine. Meant for Milwaukee Turner

- I agree with most of Senator Lehman’s points. - I agree limited authority of the state superintendent but need a different model for some

school districts than others - I think Dr. Shaw is doing a great job bringing everyone together - Years ago, RUSD had a good program to attract minority teachers but cannot remember it

name. Brought more blacks into the district and parts of it were paid for by the community businesses. This is needed.

- Budget adjustments – none this time coming around - Not in favor of charter program. Don’t take funding away from public schools. - I’m a 2/3 funding supporter - Greater authority – limit it within districts. - Race to the Top - don’t agree with it. Verdict is still out. Not working the way it was meant.

Stop it now. Mason

- #8 – Focus on achievement gap and making it possible for every student to succeed - #8 – Making sure above average need kids get what they need - #8 – Doing reforms correctly, measurably and with accountability (RUSD working well on

this) - #3 – Is your model adequate for RUSD kids? We need to make sure we get the formula right

and right kids get what is needed. Need to be smarter about it to target down on results. We need to make the case that that penny is going to make the difference for RUSD kids. I want to know what we are going to do different in the school funding formula. It’s a generational event.

- #4 - One time money from stimulus, what do we do later? This is the big question. It may be a harder question than the current budget itself.

- #6 – There is no unanimity. There isn’t a clear one. - #7 – You would have to show me how this would make things better. No evidence or plan

this will make a difference. Questions/Discussion Turner – I got good information about what is going on in RUSD and it sounds to be outstanding. Lehman – Mason and I spent time at Mitchell Middle School. Nice to see what is happening from inside

the schools. “What this is all going to mean for my kids” was talked about. You can physically see the effort going on there.

Van Atta - Exciting to see the embers of reform everywhere in the district. This has been under Dr. Shaw’s leadership.

Turner – Truancy issue of students playing sports. How can we address this issue? Shaw – This is an example of not being focused on achievement. Athletics must be a way to get kids

to learn more. We all need to work on connecting athletics to achievement – it needs to be a strategy.

Turner – Coaches need to be able to get to the Black students especially. McKenna – I have seen coaches reach out to the kids but I don’t see the technology to correctly track

truancies. Kenosha has this problem too. Communication doesn’t always get to the right people.

Vos – Address the issues of Caledonia residents regarding education and opportunities to get out of RUSD. It is going to come to a head.

Van Atta – We have addressed it as best we could. We did a Linking and Listening Session. We cannot cultivate it. If it does come forward, I am not in favor of creating an all white district. They are in their rights to move down a path of cessation.

Page 112: Board Business Meeting Packet June 21, 2010...2010/06/21  · Janes 1425 N. Wisconsin Street Racine 53402 664-6550 8:05 2:50 Jefferson 1722 West Sixth Street Racine 53404 664-6900

Nielsen – I have not received any calls in the last year from Caledonia. I have asked them what the issues are. If its academics, the Caledonia students in many areas outperform most surrounding areas.

Nielsen – No hope for increase in state funding issue – caused us to increase our property taxes and looking at 3.7 million next year deficit and 11 something next year. No flesh left on the bone. What do you see as our best way to go? Increase property tax? We can’t rely on one year federal grants. How far in the future will there be something done about school funding?

Vos – There is nothing that can be done right now. Healthcare and Medicaid are the focus. It will be a much more difficult budget the next time around.

Turner – The community has to decide on what quality education it wants. I am concerned about who will be the next governor.

Lehman – I am hearing that we are expecting a $200 adjustment per student. People ask, so where is the money? It’s in the benefit structure. We have hard times ahead. No appetite in legislation to come up with new fund sources.

Vos – New revenue – we have to come up with 1.5 billion before we even touch schools Mason – I try to meet with the fourth graders who come to Madison to learn about politics. This year,

we were asked to talk to the kids about the WKCE tests and the importance of doing well on them. It gave me pause when there are people so afraid about doing standardized tests.

Shaw – As a superintend years ago in the Milwaukee area, schools didn’t want to advertise scores disaggregated by race. We are now open about the achievement gap in RUSD for Black and disadvantaged students. This is a priority for a reason. This is everyone’s problem, not just Racine. I don’t like the test being the entire focus, but I am pleased we have the energy around the achievement gap. I like the way funding has been so far.

Turner – Include the community on discussions. Plache – Great communication here today. You complimented us on our work, but we cannot continue

without funding. Plache – Asked about the issue of more power to control wages. Vos – Response- New form of the QEO. State-wide average or other state models. That is the

direction we are heading. McKinna – Most districts didn’t want to be told what to do and to what degree. Each district is different.

It saddens me that the district’s people want to open enroll their kids into districts that are now making staff cuts.

Vos – Most districts want a kind of QEO. Closing Dr. Warner thanked everyone for coming and participating tonight. Dr. Shaw thanked the legislators for their hard work.
