State Literacy Goal can align with our school goal #1 (60% of K-3 students will make typical or above typical growth from Beginning of Year DIBELS assessments to End of Year DIBELS assessments

  • The Council voted to align our reading goal with this state literacy goal

Review of appropriate Land Trust expenditures

Brief discussion of boundary proposals for the new school.

  • The proposed boundaries will be given a second reading at the School Board meeting tomorrow night (5 December 2018)
  • A few technicalities have been modified from what was presented at the Boundary Open House, but for the most part things are continuing as presented that night
  • Majestic is likely to have about 700 students in the 2019-2020 school year
