approves the agenda of November 12, 2003.

1b. BUILDING TOUR

Linda Haensch led the board on a tour of the building. She

emphasized the integration of curriculums, which reinforces

instructional themes throughout the school day. As an example,

listening skills development, writing, spelling, math, art, music

and physical education all concentrate on the message of a

particular story in order to deliver continuity of instruction.

2. PUBLIC ACCESS

Sally Smith, President of the North Rose - Wolcott Teachers'

Association spoke to the Board about American Education Week

– November 16 – 22, 2003. She invited Board Members to visit

school buildings to observe the educational process in action.

3. PRESENTATIONS

Rebecca Gamba, Grant Coordinator, told the Board of her efforts

to secure grant money from a number of different sources. Mrs.

Gamba and Dave Murphy spoke of grants that the district has

received and how the funds are being used. They listed grants

that the district has applied for along with a timeframe for

acceptance/denial. Not all grant requirements are compatible

with the educational mission of the district, which makes them

unsuitable and we do not apply for those funds.

She also spoke of the benefits of establishing an educational

foundation and a district-wide alumni association. They would

promote a spirit of community involvement, generate volunteers,

and generate financial support and resources for programs,

equipment and projects.
