BOARD REPORTS AND REQUESTS
Steve Madsen and Janice Watts reported on the July 20th WQCC meeting. They were frustrated because a facilitator was asked to help create a mission statement and vision for the group. Steve said the group has expanded, and the reasons the core group came together in the first place have become distorted because of the newer members. The original idea was for the City, the Port and the School District to work together on projects that would leverage the resources. There were also comments made regarding the new high school site by at least one attendee that were based on inaccurate and incomplete information.聽 Steve thinks these would be quelled by having the Board approve a resolution adopting the site officially.聽 Jim Bays thought that the Board should write a letter to the Council of Governments to let them know that the Board would be willing to help with the comprehensive planning, as comments made at the WQCC meeting show there is lack of understanding about the high school project.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
Math Improvement ReportAsha Riley showed the Board more math data. This data is one piece of information that is used to inform teachers what is working with students and what is not.聽 The Board discussed this with Asha.
