Answer: Director of Safe Schools, Maintenance & Operations John Pymm — There are a couple of options to report bullying in your school. You can be anonymous through an online form "Anonymous Alerts" found on the District's web page or you can tell a teacher, principal or counselor to help you. Question: When will Falls Valley get a new school? Answer: Deputy Superintendent Marjean McConnell — The District does not tear down old buildings to rebuild a new school. We are still using old buildings, even one built in 1912. We build new schools when we realign boundaries in areas of growth. Falls Valley will always be a school the District will use, Question: Why do students in high school wear hats, but not in elementary schools? Answer: Hillcrest High School Principal Doug McLaren — In high school, hat with brims are not allowed; winter stocking caps are allowed. Brimmed hats do not allow administrators to recognize the students through video cameras or walking in the hallways. Ms. McConnell stated the Technical Career high school students are permitted to wear brimmed hats for protection when working in class. Question: Why do you want to be on the School Board? Answers from the Board: Chairman Brian McBride — I like seeing the children being educated; to learn, to grow and prepare for the future. It's been an amazing experience! Treasurer Amy Landers — I am a former teacher and I love kids and I love education; I thought this could be a place to make a difference. Vice Chairman Paul Jenkins — I believe the young people today are our greatest assets. I have faith in you. We have great schools, staff and school board. Bonneville District is a great place to be. Trustee Jeff Bird — I want to show my support for civil duty; to stand up for what I believe in. Trustee Greg Calder — My children have had a good education in Bonneville Joint School District 93. It's time to give back to the community. VIII.

X. Committee, Curriculum, and Administrative Reports A. Report on the State of the District - Principal Craig Miller, Technical Careers High School: Congruent Class Options Chairman McBride invited Mr. Craig Miller to present the Report on the State of the District. Mr. Miller informed the Board that it is competition season at Technical Careers High School. Our construction students will be attending a Home Owner's Show in Las Vegas next week and then onto Boise. Funding for these competitions come from local and national sources, including a NASA grant. Currently, Technical Careers High School is at 81% high school capacity. We offer eight programs; the newest programs started 2015-2016 school year are Agriculture Education, EMT, and Information Technologies. In the future we are looking to add a medical assisting program which is encouraged by the medical community and a cosmology program, both of which will increase female interests. State cosmology regulations do not allow students to work on people, therefore we are looking to co-sponsor a program through ISU. We are looking to offer an Educational assistance program, for students in high school who show an interest in education. Students will be able to enter the classroom, to learn pedagogy skills, to teach classes, and to gain experience as a teacher. The students would be able to earn 6-12 college credits while attending high school, thus furthering their future education. Elementary and middle school principals are looking forward to the program in Bonneville Joint School District 93. Our tech programs are for sophomore, junior and senior students. Only students over the age of 18 are able to enroll in the EMT classes. We offer an exploratory semester class for freshmen to see what the programs entail. Culinary Arts programs require a lot of funding and space. Recently, we have Introduction to Culinary Arts Program in our high schools and looking to expand those opportunities through our Family Consumer Science classes. Community and District Food Service internships are available for juniors. More funding will be available from the state if the courses are tucked under our technology program. B. Proposed Policv for Initial Consideration - Marjean McConnell 2700P Hiah School Graduation Reauirements Procedure Chairman McBride invited Ms. McConnell to present on Policy 2700P High School Graduation Requirements Procedure for Initial consideration. Ms. McConnell stated that graduation requirements procedure needs to be updated due to the adopted trimester schedule. More changes will be updated as needed before it can be posted on 30 -day review. Students are going from 16 credits a year to 18 credits a year. Scott Woolstenhulme clarified that the graduation credits will be phased in starting for the 2018 graduating class, increasing two credits each year and being fully effective in 2020.
