kellyann, thanks for the post. Safety Office staff report should be interesting!!

Just a quick question off topic. There was a PDF file (I think) at .org that explained the small learning communities and the upgrades needed to the (east) high school. Someone asked me about it at school on Friday. They also were wondering if any of this has started. I didn't have any answers so I started my search with the COSLA site, but couldn't get anything past Feb. 2008. Do you happen to have some of this info? Thanks

Kelly- Under Legals, toward the end, there are two contract amendments. They are written like Action Items, but are not.
Any ideas on those?

Not sure - probably just yearly performance goals.

How do we access the meetings via video? I can't make it that night.

[kellyann1293]

I have the first part of this meeting available for viewing:

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIW1Q93i7AU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIW1Q93i7AU</a><!-- m -->

Please view the video and let me know if there are any problems. I have had some difficulty viewing it myself; I don't know if it's my computer or if YouTube was just having a bad day. It seems to be working OK for me now. It's the first video shot with the new camera - note the widescreen format. If others are able to view the video without problems, I will go ahead and process the rest of the meeting footage.

Thanks much!!!
