Betty Kistenmacher addressed the board with concerns about;

EHS dropout rates.

High School has become unfriendly to student’s and parent’s.

Why the High School has a Dean of Students when other schools do not.

She feels the board needs to look into these items. There was some discussion and questions among the board and Mrs. Kistenmacher.  Superintendent Arment explained that the high school does qualify for a second assistant principal. At this time the High School has decided to have the Athletic Director be a Dean of Students so it would save the taxpayers $ and have the needed supervision in the South Hall.

Dawn Sciglibagio addressed the board with concerns about;

The bus drive to Columbia Crest.  She feels it is way to long.

The new bus driver is very unfriendly to the children. She feels she drives unsafely and is concerned about this as the bad weather is not here yet.

She also expressed and that there is confusion on whether the students can have drinks and food on the bus ride..

She also expressed her concerns about her bus stop being changed (at her request) and that the change had not been convenient. She did state that it had been changed back to the original

Superintendent Arment explained that the bus stop was requested to be changed by Mrs. Sciglibaglio as she felt it was unsafe.  Transportation provided some choices.  The bus stop was changed to Weyerhaeuser School.  Mrs. Sciglibaglio asked again that the bus stop be changed because it was not convenient for her.  The stop was changed back at her request.  Superintendent Arment also explained that a camera has been put on the bus to address the interaction.

This item was stricken from the agenda. Superintendent explained the process and why this item was to be removed at this time. This item will be on the next agenda.
