DISTRICT MISSION STATEMENT

“Tradition of Excellence:  High Standards, Each Student, Every Day.”

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Pursuant to EIS Board Policy 01.45 Board Meeting Agenda, as part of the official agenda for each regular board meeting, the Superintendent shall prepare a consent agenda of routine business items.  Prior to the approval of the agenda, any board member may, by request, cause any item on the consent agenda to be removed and placed on the action agenda or any item on the regular agenda to be placed on the action agenda.

What is Reponsibility?  It is accepting that you and you alone are accountable for your life.  Being responsible comes with the realization that you are where you are, and what you are, because of your own conduct and behavior.

The state regulations on evaluation of certified personnel, KRS 156.557 and 704 KAR 3:345 require the local board of education to appoint its representative to the Local Evaluation Appeals Panel.   This is an annual appointment.

Ms. Cora Wood, Director of Personnel, has provided a memorandum pertaining to the appointment of certified evaluation appeals panel members (Kyle Goodlet, teacher at Elizabethtown High School, and Mrs. Alesa Walters, Media Specialist at Elizabethtown High School, with Mrs. Laura Berger, teacher at T.K. Stone Middle School, to serve as the alternate).

Coach Don Pitts would like to begin a middle school program to build upon fundamentals and participation numbers at the varsity level.  The program would begin in the fall of this year based upon board and T.K.Stone SBDM approval.  The program for this school year will be totally funded by the baseball booster account.  Mr. Thad Elmore will voluntarily coach the team.  The program will not interfere with the basketball season.  Since the program is implemented at middle school it will not be a Title IX concern.  The practice season will be in March and the games will be played from April to May.  Approximately, 24 games will be scheduled and will allow all kids to participate in game situtations.

                for FY 2011 and program goals and objectives for FY2012 are to be provided

Mrs. Beth Mather, Principal at T.K. Stone Middle School is requesting to surplus one (1) Upright Hamilton piano and one (1) Security Gate.  The Piano is currently stored in the band room. Due to the age of the piano, tuning is no longer an option.  The cost to repair is more than the estimated worth. 

The Security Gate was installed as a component of the renovation of  the auditorium.  The fire marshall will not allow the gate to be utilized to secure the hallway by the gym, due to the fact that the location in essence blocks a hallway that might be needed in case of an emergency.

Mr. Gary Franklin and Mr. Steve Ballard will make a presentation on this new network. Their intent is to live stream athletic events and educational activities across the web to market and promote the students, staff, and programs of EIS. The intent is to reach a broader fan base and provide the opportunity for a larger audience to view local activities taking place in our district. Mr. Franklin is working up two-year agreement that I will share with Mr. Jerry Coleman. The network will financially support this project by independently raising funds for advertisements that will support this production.  You can review a similar site at www.prepspin.com.
