Chairman Bird opened discussion on choosing dates for the summer Board Retreat. The tentative dates for
the summer Board Retreat will be held July 26 -July 29, 2017. The location of the retreat has not been
determined.
VII. Items for Discussion
A. Proposed Boundary Changes - Scott Woolstenhulme
Chairman Bird invited Scott Woolstenhulme to continue Boundary change discussion. Community meetings
dates were discussed and was decide the meeting will be held Monday, May 1, 2017 in the Rocky Mountain
Middle School Auditorium at 7:00 p.m. It was suggested that a flier be available to circulate. Mr.
Woolstenhulme discussed the proposal for the Discovery Elementary boundary changes that will be voted on
at the regular meeting on May 10th. Further research shows that trying to align the elementary schools to the
high schools creates odd pockets or islands of students. If parents in the Red Rock or Rock River
subdivisions opt to move their students to another nearby elementary school, the district would provide
transportation as needed. Timelines for the high school boundary revisions and open enrollment guidelines
will be discussed at the next work session on April 28th.
Vlll. Call for Aqenda Items for Upcoming Meetinqs
Chairman Bird called for items to add to future meeting agendas. Marjean McConnell asked for Board support
for the high schools to hold three parent teacher conferences a year, one per trimester. At the high school level,
each trimester class could have different students. She suggested Monday nights to avoid activity and sport
conflicts. The Board will support this request to adjust the district calendar for the next school year.
