8) Discussion and Vote to Approve Changes to the Collinsville Board
of Education Policy Book. -- none
9) Discussion and Vote to Approve the Oklahoma
Education Coalition Funding Rally Resolution. --
Approved a motion to support the resolution. School here will be in
session that day (March 31st) but will work with teachers to allow
at least some representatives to attend the rally in OKC. One of the
drivers in the discussion of keeping/adding school days soon (for
both item 9 and 10 below) is that teacher are now 7 (snow) days behind
getting the kids ready for the spring tests (which are mostly taken
in April).
10) Discussion and Vote to Amend the 2013-2014 & 2014-2015 School
Calendar. -- Approved changes to this year's
calendar to change Feb. 17, March 14, and May 23 to students attendance
days. Next years calendar was also modified to move the "bad
weather" days forward from the end of May up ahead of the testing
period (if needed).
This Friday Feb. 14, 2014 remains a non-attendance
day but the long weekend is now shortened with students returning
to class Monday Feb. 17th (President's Day). The previous professional
day on Friday March 14th is now an attendance day for students. The
teacher's professional day will have to be moved after Memorial day.
Another 1/2 professional day (May 23rd) also converts to an attendance
day for students and makes ther last day of classes 1 day later than
the previous May 22nd.
[I won't even attempt to summarize all the requirements and options
for meeting state attendance (days or minutes, etc...) but rather
than take shortcuts or barely slide by some requirements the school
administration recommended these days to provide the best chance for
preparing for spring testing as well as the potential for even more
snow days later. -- Ted Wright]

Certified and Classified Personnel, Pursuant to Section 307 (B) (1)
of the Open Meeting Law, O§, so that the Board May Return to
