July 10, 2019 - Special Meeting, Board Retreat
The Wenatchee School Board will now provide a "Board Meeting Summary Briefing" after each Board meeting. The summary includes a short description of the main topics and action items. These summaries are not meant to replace minutes. The minutes for each meeting are approved and posted after the next regularly scheduled meeting. We hope these summaries provide some basic information and context around the reports, presentations and action items.
Unfortuanlty, this special meeting video is not indexed for easy one-click access to view the various sections of the agenda using the “watch” links below. In leu of this feature, we have included the time at which each part of the agenda takes place so that you can fast forward to an area of interest. In the future, the video indexing feature will be available.
