felt that, at this time, we could not afford this cost. 7.0 Reports: 7.1 Superintendent – Mr. Bradshaw discussed Senate Bill 191. This has every teacher being

evaluated two times a year by a template created by CDE. He has been through three trainings for this and Mr. Miller is going Oct 15 and 16 to Denver for training.

We are on priority improvement from 2010/11 reading scores. For 2011/12 we improved but

have to use Title1 funds to get low students up. The district has identified 32 students for extra help. We have offered them tutoring but they have to provide transportation. Today we have 12 kids that are planning to attend. There will be a training session for teachers on October 4 and 5.
