The new board contact list was also approved and will be emailed to everyone by Tami. The 2008-9 final report is due Nov. 20. We will finalize at Nov. 10 meeting. New teacher- Devin Rusch was hired 2 days before school started to teach welding. The room is being updated. New Administrator – Scott Palmer was moved to Roy Jr. High to fill a vacated position. Teri Spiers, who taught health here and was a counselor at North Ogden Jr. High is out new intern. Dale told about the "What’s Up" email that each school sends to the School Board. He will email that to the CC board. RHS is using Trustland money to send 3 teachers to the ASCD Math Conference in Provo. CTE is sending 2 more. Drug Testing is going well. Students have been receptive. If retests need to be done, the testing company does those for free. If a positive test is indicated, there is no discipline report filed, nor does it go too the police. The student must sit out 2 weeks of competition. It is meant to be a deterrent and help for those with a problem. Athletics – Dale has had lots of calls about coaches and records. The teams are working hard to be competitive in 5A. The school can petition the state to change back to 4A and the end of the 2010-2011 school year. There was some talk of changing boundaries, but the school enrollments are not that different. Rod Belnap, an Asst. Principal at Weber, is working on a doctorate report on the positive impact of sports on kids. There has been some discussion about a softball exception for Roy, It was justified. Enrollment as of Oct. 1 without self-contained resource: 5A Roy 1467 (down 30 from last Oct. 1) 4A Bonneville -1305 5A Weber – 1778 5A Fremont – 1659 If we include Self contained, it will increase about 60. Special Ed has less than 4 regular classes. When numbers were submitted 2 years ago for classification and boundary changes, Roy had 1607. When a student was asked about going to 5A, he responded to Cheryl, "5A, 4A, game starts at 7." We have capacity for 1800 in the building. Flu Shot Clinic – Nov. 12 3-7:30 here in Commons area – based on availability, they will have both seasonal and H1N1. This would be free to the public. There was a discussion on policy if police want to question a student. Although we have a School Resource officer, there is a distinct line between school and police. The office must have probable cause to investigate; the school only needs a reasonable suspicion to search lockers, etc. on campus. If other police depts. want to interview a student, the parent must be notified and approve, and can be present. We can also request that a school administrator be present. They may be turned down if parents cannot be contacted or refuse. Tour – Welding Lab – new booths, machines, and ventilation. Greenhouse – plant and fish. Custodial shed – student built in construction class. |
