Policy meeting agenda with no mention of Posti

On Tuesday, the Policy Committee will be meeting at the usual time, 4:30 pm. The agenda has been posted on the District website, and reprinted here:

Agenda 
  (Subject to Change)

September 6, 20111.  Policies - Sixth Review
      a.  GBEE, Social Networking

2.  Policies - First Review
      a.  Revisions to ECF, Energy Management Conservation
      b.  Revisions to JKF, Non-School Related Drug and Alcohol Violations

3.  Questions and Comments from Residents

They did promise to record the meeting and post it on the District website. No mention of plagiarism or bullying policies on the agenda. I guess that is where Item 3 comes in, but if no one can attend, that sure makes it difficult.  Too bad there is no teleconferencing for residents. "Operators are standing by.  Call now."

Update September 5, 2011 10:11 PM According to page 13 of the 2011-2012 Student & Parent Handbook,

Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10th Edition, defines plagiarize as “to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own: use (another's production) without crediting the source.” Examples of plagiarism include copying passages or visual downloads from the Internet or other texts; not documenting written or oral sources such as teachers, other students, critics; fabricating or manipulating a quotation or source and using free or purchased papers from the Internet or other sources. Students receive instruction about plagiarism in English and other classes and are responsible to discuss their questions and uncertainties with their teachers.

If anyone is going to the Policy meeting tomorrow, you might want to mention this.

It was business as usual.

Nothing was mentioned by either the School Board Directors or the residents about the new teleconferencing policy. Sue Rose phoned in and reported there was nothing to report about SHASDA. My question is, how would she know? Oops. Forgot.  Don't ask.
The School Board Directors are working on a new set of goals for Dr. Steinhauer.  No word on salary increases.
The big discussion was about Single Prime vs. Multiple Prime for the high school renovation. The Master Design Team met last week.   Are Carol Walton and Drew Haberberger still members?  We never hear from them. I found this article about Carol Walton and her views on multiple prime contracts. Construction law called antiquated, costly 

Update 6:26 p.m.: On March 15, 2010, Dr. Steinhauer and President Ed Kubit signed this waiver of multi-prime requirements.  Waiver of requirement of entering multi-prime contracts. Didn't Tom Celli say that we were better off using a single prime contractor?
