INTERNAL AUDIT the District’s financial state for the year ending June 30, 2007. Mr. Wager

Raymond Wager, CPA, PC recently met with the Board of Education’s Audit Committee where finances,

procedures, and long range planning topics were covered. He stated that our

District is in good financial shape. The Basic Financial Statements, Single

Audit Report, and Extraclassroom Activity Funds Financial Report were

where deficiencies have been found, and a corrective action plan will be

3b. PRESENTATION: Angela Kirkey, Coordinator of Pupil Services, and Linda Haensch, Florentine

RESPONSE TO Hendrick Elementary School Principal, gave a presentation to the Board on

INTERVENTION – a program called “

esponse

ntervention” that we are trying to institute

Angela Kirkey in our District. RTI is a program dedicated to working with struggling

Linda Haensch children. The main objective of our school is to teach a child in the way he or

she will understand. There is a team of teachers who work together for the

student who is struggling, not just one teacher. The core principles of RTI are

to effectively teach all children, intervene early if a problem arises, use

problemsolving to make instructional/intervention

research based interventions, monitor students’ progress and use data to make

decisions. An example of an intervention/action chart was shared with the

Board. Teachers and principals are able to monitor a child’s situation in a more

efficient manner than in the past, because the student’s chart is stored on the

computer server. This provides quick access to student records for teachers

and principals and provides a great resource to them. A team is in place at

both elementary schools to monitor these records.

2. PUBLIC ACCESS: No one spoke to the Board at this time.

4a. PTSA REPORT: Mr. Paul Statsky reported that fifteen volunteers were able to help with ELA

testing days in the North Rose Elementary school. This sets a record for the

number of volunteers that the PTSA has been able to provide for an event!

They also provided three days of breakfast for students taking these tests.

Volunteers read stories to the students during breakfast. He mentioned that he

found the Community Forum on Student Achievement Initiatives very

informative, and thought that it went well. The PTSA will be active

volunteering at the upcoming roller skating parties, and in the hallways of the

Middle School on the first day of 2

semester, when students will need

direction to classrooms. Mr. Statsky spoke about a 5K running event in the

future that will be cosponsored with the Rotary Club, and he also mentioned

that preparation is underway for this year’s Geography History Bee. The Board

thanked the PTSA for their support.
