Rtia Rector will present a report on Western Hills High School.

State law (KRS 160.470 (6)(a) requires that every local board of education receive a DRAFT Budget prior to January 31 for the upcoming school year.  The law's purpose is to assure that the board has sufficient information about projected receipts and expenditures for all funds in the entire budget as allocations for individual budget components are considered.

Bob Wagoner will present an overview of our revenue and expense projections for 2011-12.

Action on the school allocations will be taken at a future meeting.

District staff, working with a stakeholder committee, revised the Comprehensive District Improvement Plan for the 2011-12 calendar years. The Executive Summary provides an overview of the plans’ contents and the district’s focus for the next two years.  As in recent years, the CDIP is referred to as a “living document,” meaning the plan will be revised as data indicates over the course of the next two years.
 
From the onset of the planning process, staff attempted to put together a plan that is focused and achievable.  Current events in Kentucky education made the process more challenging than usual. After this school year, the student data used to measure progress will change with a new state assessment system.  That left the committee with the task of setting measureable goals for one year, but crafting activities and strategies for two years.
 
The CDIP strongly supports the work schools outlined in their plans, most of which the board reviewed at its December 6 meeting.
