ECO Report

 

Pat Hunt reported that the staff was working hard on preparations for the upcoming school year.  Deb, Linda and Pat have been working hard at preparing the IEPs necessary for the beginning of the school year.  That staff should be working on assignments of students to classes on Monday or Tuesday.  The classroom teachers will be in contact with the students who are assigned to their classrooms shortly after that.

 

Pat Hunt presented Amy Riggs as the recommended candidate to fill the assistant teacher vacancy in Melanie’s classroom.   Leslie Aderhold motioned that Amy Riggs be offered the assistant teaching position at the budgeted salary level with benefits.  Tonya Daher seconded the motion.  There was some discussion and the motion passed unanimously.

 

CLC met the standards for adequate yearly progress for the 2004-2005 school year and the Act 48 plan for CLC was approved by the state.

 

Current enrollment is 88 students and more are expected to enroll in the near future.

 

Pat reported that Mark Toci has made arrangements for CLC to appear in the advertisements at the Premier Theatre.  Our ad will appear during the premiere of the new Harry Potter film on November 8th.  This should help with increased visibility for the school by the community.

 

A “meet and greet” will be held on August 31 to meet new parents, students, and teachers.  The “Back to School Night” will be held on September 14.  Lori McTavish said that the Girl Scouts would love to provide childcare for our events and the Friends of CLC meetings, but she would have to let them know the dates and times to confirm them.  She will contact Pat once it is set up and notify Deb Beck if the scouts are available for the Friends of CLC meeting; however she wasn’t sure of the logistics.

 

 

“Friends of CLC” Update

 

 

Andrea Ryan informed the Board that she had purchased a gift certificate for Jeremy at Amazon.com and would be mailing him a card from Friends of CLC.

 

The fundraiser calendar for the Friends of CLC was not posted on the web for some reason.  She was going to check with Deb Beck to see what happened.

 

Andrea informed the Board that the next meeting of Friends of CLC is scheduled for Thursday, August 25.

 

Old Business

 

Teacher contracts are pended and to be revisited in September when Kosta has returned.

 

There was no additional business presented to the Board.  Andrea Ryan motioned to adjourn, and Leslie Aderhold seconded the motion.  The meeting was adjourned at 7:10 p.m.  The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday September 21 at 6:30 p.m.
