SPECIAL BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING
May 20, 2005
The purpose of the special Board of Education meeting was to review the Mission Statement and Goals for Itasca School District #10.
I. President Powers called the meeting to order at 6:35 p.m. with the following ROLL CALL:
PRESENT ABSENT
Mrs. DiCiolla Mr. McCann
Mr. Maier Mrs. McDonald
Mrs. Pawinski
Mr. Powers
Mrs. Zelenka
Also Present:
Dr. Kenneth Cull, Superintendent of Schools
Dr. Reinhard Nickisch, Principal, F.E. Peacock Middle School
Dr. Joanna Medwick, Principal, Franzen Intermediate School
Dr. Dawn Turner, Principal, Benson Primary School
Dr. Marcia Tornatore, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum & Instruction
Mr. Charles Kapachinski, Director of Technology
Mrs. Catherine Seger, Recorder
Mr. Powers led everyone present in the Pledge of Allegiance.
II. President Powers discussed the format for the meeting.
Mrs. Zelenka questioned the goals as to how they were related to the No Child Left Behind Act. Considerable discussion ensued.
More discussion ensued as to how the goals relate to the 2006 tentative budget. It might be more beneficial and clearer if the State of the District Report did not contain the tentative budget. The State of the District Report and the Tentative Budget are actually two different reports.
The consensus of the board was to review the Mission Statement and Goals but to approve them only tentatively. Then, there could be another meeting possibly in the fall to review them again as it gets closer to the school year in which they are pertinent.
Everyone in attendance had a copy of the goals and each goal was read, reviewed and discussed. Any changes were made during the meeting. Discussion ensued. A copy of the proposed tentative goals is attached.
III. There being no further business, President Powers adjourned the meeting at 8:30 p.m.
