Board Meetings to Move to 3rd Tuesday, PED approves Budget

At the regular school board meeting of July 11, 2011, the board voted to move the regular school board meetings to the 3rd Tuesday of the month, starting in August. It was also noted that PED has approved the school's 2011-2012 budget.

Other items that were discussed included the inability of the school board to access their email addresses that are listed on the school's website (all ending with cmsbears.org), pay to play, how the school might spend the salary difference between what the assistant superintendent made and what the school intends to pay a new special education director, the rumors that 4 people had received raises since the last meeting (only 2 have), the difficulty many people have in hearing the school board meetings (and whether this is a violation of the open meetings act), and whether there are any plans to attempt to repair the division that was caused in the community by the 4-day week (there are no plans).
