7. New Business
|
||||
|
7.1. Set 2018 Driver's Education Fee
More Information:
This is a yearly item for the Board. I feel we can leave the fee at the current rate: $215 for Milford resident/option students and $250 for students that live out of the District and are not option students. Conference average is $240. The program has been in the black the past five years. I feel we should keep this fee as it will cover any increased fuel prices that could occur this summer (even though prices are lower right now) or repairs needed to the vehicle (old Malibu).
Action(s):
No Action(s) have been added to this Agenda Item.

7.2. Discuss/Act on District Mission Statement

7.3. Review/Act on Option Enrollment Resolution
More Information:
The Option Enrollment Resolution is attached. This is the document that would need updated if we make changes to our option enrollment guidelines.
We are recommending that we move the 9-12 grade level enrollment numbers from 60 to 70 when considering option students. We believe the 9-12 grade levels can handle a high capacity. 7-8 would remain at 60. |
