Jean Colver Scofield Award Update: Review of the two applications received. Each was complete and very compelling. After much consideration the Board determined that Kiara Buker is the 2018 recipient of the Award. Ray will follow up with the recipient, the school and the plaque.
6. Old Business:
□ Review and Approve Checkbook Reconciliation- A.J. moves to table as we don’t have this month’s documents.
□ Act 46 discussion: review recent report putting us on notice that the AOE is not sure what they will recommend for our District. We note the AOE report may be wrongly asserting historically PSD kids went to other than WCSU schools. Kris will review but we believe this is not a recent historical fact, perhaps in the distant past. We discuss the AOE’s concluding statements that they may decide to force Pittsfield to join a different District, likely Granville/Hancock (full choice) or a different Supervisory Union, but for now they are not making any recommendation to change our structure.
