School Board 9/23/08 Meeting

Tomorrow night's meting should be fairly short on the public side. The agenda and complete board book are online, here is an abbreviated agenda:

1. Public comments in the FY10 Operating Budget. This is an official opportunity for the public to comment on the School's upcoming budget process, to provide proactive instead of reactive input. If past is prologue then most citizens will wait until March to express their feelings about the school budget, and they'll go to the Board of Supervisors instead of the School Board to do it.
2. Public Hearing for Tuscarora High School Attendance Boundary. Again, this is a chance for the public to comment on a major planning decision.
3. Recognition of Mr. Eric Turrill, PE teacher at Round Hill Elementary, who is the 2008 Virginia Elementary Physical Education Teacher of the Year. Ms. Jeri Lloyd, who teachers FLE at Dominion HS and Potomac Falls HS was named the 2008 College/University Health Educator of the Year for her work in the Piedmont Virginia Community College Deparmtnet of Nursing.
   
4. Recognition of Ms. Donna Celio of Stone Bridge High School, named Virginia Association of Marketing Educators 2007-08 Marketing Teacher of the Year.
5. The Board will receive a report on new hires, look for questions about minority hiring.
   
6. The Board will receive an enrollment update, the second since the school year began. September 30th marks the year's official enrollment number.
   
7. The Board will receive a report on the 2008 School Census, which will give both LCPS and the County government lots of new information to use in future planning.
