The Florence-Carlton parents, school and community will provide a safe, respectful environment that strives to prepare all students to become responsible, lifelong learners by
empowering them with the integrity, knowledge and skills to contribute to a changing world.
Dear Parents and Community Members,
The Board of Trustees will hold the final of a series of
public meetings to formulate a Strategic Plan for the dis-
trict. With the help of the Montana School Boards Asso-
ciation, the Board and the community will be able to set
the guidelines that will lead the district not only for the
near future but for many years into the future. MTSBA’s
Strategic Planning consists of 4 Phases: Community En-
gagement, Establishing the Core Ideology, Measuring the
Distance from Present to Envisioned Future, and Transi-
tioning to a Way of Operating. MTSBA takes a system-
atic and sustainable approach to district strategic im-
provement planning and the Board of Trustees encour-
ages all stakeholders in the district to come help us map
out the districts future. The meeting will take place on
November 2, 2015 in the District Conference Room at
4:00 pm.
If you have a question or concern regarding your child’s
education or safety please send me an email, scul-
[email protected], or call me at 273-6751.

This year the Florence Band Program had 2 students
selected for the prestigious All State Band. Students
audition in the spring and are notified in the fall.
Cassidy McCollum & Jethro Thorne, both sopho-
mores, worked very hard on the music to be able to
be selected. It is a fairly cut throat process with a
huge pool of kids from C to AA schools from the en-
tire state of Montana all working for a seat in the All
State Band, Orchestra or Choir. Students coming
from B and C schools are up against tough competi-
tion and Florence is proud to have quality musicians
able to make the cut. Congratulations to Jethro and
Cassidy!

On September 2nd the entire staff of the Florence-Carlton School District participated in
a 6 hour training on Armed Intruders. The course was taught by instructors trained by
Safariland Training Group. The instructors were trained last year and include local law
enforcement officers, probation officers, area superintendents, teachers, and first re-
sponders. Florence Superintendent Bud Scully said, “Undersheriff Steve Holden put
this together last year so we could be trained as instructors and then bring it back to our
districts. He arranged for the all of the instructors to come to Lone Rock the day before
and then Florence. As superintendents we are working to make sure are campuses are
safe and helping to train each other’s staff. Tim Johnson came over to help us from
Corvallis, I went to Lone Rock and will help teach at Darby when they do their train-
ing.” Staff members were trained on three modules, “Run, Lock, Fight”. One staff
member said it was one of the best trainings they have had here at Florence. The dis-
trict will be looking at ways to increase campus safety including upgrading the door
lock software and badging system, upgrading and installing more security cameras, and
ways to better secure classroom doors as taught in the Lock Module of the Armed
Intruder Training.

sonal items from getting stolen. If your child has had a problem with things disappearing, please consider purchasing a lock box. Call and we will
get one to you.

Beginning the school year can be a hassle. Coming back to school, getting engaged in
sports, juggling other extracurricular activities, and getting used to a new academic sched-
ule can be a nightmare, especially coming in as a freshman. This school year the Florence
student council is trying to make that “back to school feeling” a little more relaxed. During
the second week of class an annual ice cream social was put on by the council to encour-
age freshmen to consider serving their classmates in student government
Crowds of freshmen gathered in the new gym foyer to enjoy ice cream and pick up student
council petitions. Many ice cream bars were handed out but only a few petitions were tak-
en and then turned in by brave students to the council’s advisor, Mr. Kuchel. A vote then
took place the day after forms were due to elect new student council representatives for the
freshman class. Three new students were elected, Danara Greer, Zach Henderson, and Na-
talie Dulac.
Not only is there a swarm of new freshman faces, but last spring, student council held elec-
tions for sophomore, junior, and senior representatives, as well as a president, vice presi-
dent, secretary, and treasurer.
The members of the new student council are preparing for many upcoming projects in an
attempt to make the daily lives of students at FCHS better. An honors lunch, with delicious
food catered by Caffe Firenze, a welcome back lunch for teachers, and holiday projects
including a school/community food drive and a shopping spree for select elementary stu-
dents are just a few of the things in store for our Falcons.
In all, the 2015-16 members are showing incredible promise. The new school year will un-
doubtedly carry with it an abundance of achievements and surprises, all thanks to the new
members of student council.

ANNUAL ASBESTOS NOTIFICATION TO PARENTS, STUDENTS, AND EMPLOYEES OF THE FLORENCE-CARLTON SCHOOL
(Required by the Asbestos-Containing Materials in Schools Rule, §§ 763.84(c) and 763.93(g)(4))
Asbestos is a naturally-occurring fibrous mineral which, until about 1980, was commonly used in building construction. Asbestos will not burn, is
an excellent insulator, has great tensile strength, is resistant to chemicals, is a nonconductor of electricity, and absorbs sound. Examples of asbestos-
containing building material (ACBM) are vinyl floor tile, sprayed-on acoustical ceiling material, pipe and boiler insulation, and roofing felt. As
ACBM deteriorates over time, or is disturbed by maintenance, renovation, or demolition activities, it may become friable, i.e., it is capable of being
reduced to powder by hand pressure. When ACBM becomes friable, asbestos fibers are released into the air. Inhalation of these airborne, micro-
scopic asbestos fibers has been proven to cause such fatal diseases as lung cancer, mesothelioma (cancer of the lining of the lung or abdominal
cavity), and asbestosis (scarring of lung tissues). Uncontrolled asbestos contamination in buildings has been, and remains, a significant environ-
mental and public health issue. In 1986, Congress enacted the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) to require public and private,
secondary and elementary schools to identify ACBM in their school buildings and take appropriate actions to control the release of asbestos fibers.
In 1987, the US Environmental Protection Agency finalized a regulatory program which enforces the AHERA mandate. These regulations are in-
corporated within the Asbestos-Containing Materials in Schools Rule (40 C.F.R. Part 763, Subpart E).
In compliance with the Asbestos-Containing Materials in Schools Rule, the Florence-Carlton School had its school buildings inspected by an asbes-
tos inspector, accredited by the State of Montana. During that inspection, areas of suspect ACBM were identified. The type, condition, and location
of this ACBM was noted. In previous inspection, samples were taken of some or all of the suspect ACBM. Laboratory analysis of these samples
confirmed the presence or absence of ACBM. Suspect ACBM not sampled and analyzed were assumed to contain asbestos. Confirmed and/or as-
sumed ACBM currently remain in certain locations in our school buildings. For example, there is mudded pipe joint insulation in the boiler room,
the heat exchanger room below the stage and above some of the classrooms of the high school wing. There is thermal system insulation on some of
our school’s heat exchangers. Furthermore, we have 9” X 9” vinyl tile and linoleum in many parts of the school, though much of it has been cov-
ered by carpet. Also, cement asbestos board can be found in several places around the outside of our main building. We also have vermiculite in
many of our exterior cinderblock walls and asbestos vibration collars on three air handlers in or near the old gym. The District Office has sheetrock,
taping material, joint compound and linoleum, all assumed to contain asbestos. Asbestos is assumed to be present in such building materials as cove
base molding and mastic in the upper primary wing, the lower primary building, and the old high school wing. Finally, asbestos is assumed to be
present in the laboratory table tops and the lab hood of the biology classroom, as well as in the ceiling tiles of the old primary wing.
Upon confirmation of the presence of ACBM, an Asbestos Management Plan was developed for each of the school buildings in the school by an
asbestos management planner, accredited by the State of Montana. The Asbestos Management Plans include a description of the measures currently
being taken to ensure that the ACBM remaining in our school buildings is maintained in a condition that will not pose a threat to the health of our
students and employees. These Plans describe past response actions taken to abate ACBM, as well as response actions planned for the future. The
Asbestos Management Plans provide information on the periodic monitoring of the condition of ACBM remaining in our school buildings through
triennial re-inspections, conducted by accredited asbestos inspectors, and through semiannual surveillance, conducted by trained school mainte-
nance staff.
A copy of the Asbestos Management Plans is available for your review in the school District Office during regular office hours. Dennis M. Burns is
the designated Asbestos Program Coordinator for the school. Please direct all inquiries regarding the Asbestos Management Plans to him at
telephone 273-6751 ext. 436.

Students in Mrs. Verlanic’s class love to hold and care for their classroom pets. Every Friday, the children get to have an “animal encounter time” when the students can interact with and hold the animals. These photos show Big Green, the tortoise, Leopard and Cheetah which are leopard geck-os. Mr. Weber’s tarantula, Rosey, also continues to fascinate children with her intricate move-ments. Students have an opportunity to be the animal monitor in class. The animal monitor is re-sponsible for feeding the animals and making sure they have water.

Boosters and Community Members Working to Build Practice Field
The Florence Booster Club has been working to build a practice field east of the football field and south of the softball field. The first phase of moving the existing piles was done by Duane Zeiler. J & J Excavating then began hauling dirt in for fill. The Pumnea family brought a bulldozer over to move that dirt. The area will eventually be leveled off for planting. Thanks to all who have con-tributed fill dirt or equipment to move the dirt! Contractors who have clean fill can contact the district office to make arrangements for dumping it.
Equal Education, Nondiscrimination and Sex Equity The District will make equal educational opportunities available for all students without regard to race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, ethnicity, language barrier, religious belief, physical or mental handicap or
