School Board Meeting August 16, 2011

About 40 people showed up for tonight's meeting, even after the extensive robo-calling that the Heart of Dreams (aka Buckhorn Renovation) owners would not be attending. In fact, the owners did send a statement to the school late today, and superintendent Hancock read the statement during the Visitor's section of the meeting. (the podcast is posted at http://cmsbears.podbean.com, the statement is also carried on the school's website under the "superintendent's corner." Bottom line, the owners say they have decided not to open their center in Cloudcroft, a statement which was met with applause.

Mr. Snoddy gave a powerpoint presentation on AYP. I will post a copy of the presentation when I receive it.

There was also discussion about the school upgrading its sound system and making other investments in electronics, with E-Rate funding covering 84% of the $800,000 cost.

During the Superintendent's discussion, Mr. Hancock said that the school had been able to hire everyone back, with the exception of the former transportation director, since enrollment had increased by 11 students since the end of the last school year.
