JOINT PUBLIC HEARING
SAC COMMUNITY BOARD OF EDUCATION
WALL LAKE VIEW AUBURN BOARD OF EDUCATION
Monday, October 19, 2009
East Sac County High School Library
The Boards of Education of the Sac and Wall Lake View Auburn Community School Districts met in joint session on Monday, October 19, 2009 at 6:00 P.M. in the East Sac County High School Library for the purpose of holding a public hearing on an innovative school calendar for the East Sac County School for the 2010-2011 school year.
Present for Sac Community School District were: board members Shirley Phillips, Dave Sands, Melissa Bellcock, Marti Huser, and Brent Wilhelm. Present for Wall Lake View Auburn School District were: board members Chuck Brotherton, Lisa Drost, Shannon Mahannah, Jack DeBourgh, and Chris Rodman. Also present for the public hearing were: Superintendent Barb Kruthoff, Principals Kevin Litterer and Mike Fischer, members of the news media, and about 12 visitors.
The Sac Board was called to order by President Phillips. Motion by Wilhelm and seconded by Huser to open the public hearing on an innovative school calendar for 2010-2011. Motion carried 5-0.
The Wall Lake View Auburn Board was called to order by President Brotherton and passed a similar motion.
Superintendent Kruthoff reviewed the attached draft of the proposed innovative school calendar for the East Sac County School for the 2010-2011 school year. This calendar replaces several early dismissals during the year for teacher inservice and replaces them with fewer whole-day inservice sessions. This results in more inservice hours for staff and the same or more hours of instruction for students. It also results in potential savings for the East Sac County School of up to $15,000.00 for days when students will not be in attendance. Under this proposed calendar classes would begin for students on August 23, 2010 and classes would end on May 25, 2011.
Following the review of the proposed calendar, Presidents Phillips and Brotherton called for comment and questions from the boards and visitors present. There were none.
Motion by Sands and seconded by Wilhelm to close the public hearing. Motion carried 5-0. WLVA passed a similar motion, and the public hearing was adjourned at 6:10 P.M.
