A.  Building/Principal Reports

.Kim Headrick, Middle School principal reported that the middle school has received the Navigation 101 Grant for around $18,000.  This will bring in training and mini conferences. 

Matt Chase, Elementary School principal reported that the Spring Concert and BBQ went well.  They have been working on the all day Kindergarten for next year. 

Boyd Keyser, High School Principal reported that with the change in staff they are doing musical rooms.  Peter Smyth is coming back to the High School.  The end of the year with the seniors went well and the High School finished on a strong note. 

 B.  Student Representative Reports:  Kodi Jones reported on the various sports teams that have already started practices. We also have a girl’s basketball camp under way as well. 

C.  Student Learning Celebration Update:  Lisa Browitt reported on how well the celebration went for the first year of it.  The best part was the learning that the students had to do to get ready.  Many of the students were overwhelmed with what they learning.  Lisa identified some areas where changes will need to be made for next year, but was pleased with how all of the students were engaged.  

D.  Graduation Requirements: An update regarding possible state changes.  Boyd reported that the state has not made the final recommendations for graduation requirements.  The requirements for the Cle Elum-Roslyn School District are different than for the state and how can we align the two.  Boyd presented a slide show with the different requirement recommendations that the state will be giving.  When the state makes a final decision Boyd will be back with the recommendations.  .  If we change requirements next year it will not disrupt the current students and it will put them in alignment with the State requirements. 

E.  Mass Casualty Incident Drill Debrief.   Mike O’Donnell reported that with the drill all the agencies involved had an opportunity to learn.  It started with tabletop discussions and ended with the debriefing.   We identified several areas where work will need to continue, but felt that the drill was a success. 

F.  WASL update.  Mike O’Donnell reported that the preliminary news is not good.  The 10th grade student’s scores went up in Reading and Writing but went down in Math compared to the scores of the same students in 7th grade.  The state is not requiring students to pass the Math component and we had 6 students that didn’t score in this area.  The individual WASL scores will not be out until fall.  There will be workshops available this summer and Cle Elum-Roslyn School will be a testing site. 

G.  Finance & Operations – Brian reported that the fund balance for the district will be better than projected.

Brian Twardoski reported that the school district will recover the reserve fund in a four year plan as opposed to a three year plan.  We have some additional costs that will impact the budget next year - employee cost, food service and diesel fuel for the buses.   Final approval of the budget will be at the July board meeting.
