Following a closed session scheduled to last two hours, the school board will hold a regularly scheduled meeting Thursday evening to draw up a game plan for the school bond slated to appear on the November ballot, among other agenda items.
At the last board meeting the findings of two voter opinion surveys used to measure support for a bond and a parcel tax were presented. Support for the bond prevailed over the parcel tax and the board decided to pursue the former in an effort to close a $35.7 million gap in facilities funding. Trustees plan to dig into the logistics and timeline of the bond with the help of George K. Baum & Company, the firm that conducted the survey and will guide the board through the process.
Additionally, the board will vote on an agenda item that recommends phasing out the Assistant Superintendent of Administrative Services position and replacing it with a new position called Deputy Superintendent of Business Services and designating it as a senior classified management position.
The board will also entertain a public hearing on the topic of the 2008-2009 budget and vote to adopt the budget following the hearing.
Finally, the evening will wrap up with a presentation made by staff detailing the work of the Technology Committee.
