2019 Board of Education Members
Regarding this Evening's Board Meeting
Hello Canfield Learning Community,
This is to inform you that at this evening’s Board of Education meeting there will be students presenting Learner-Active Technology-Infused Classroom projects, Patrick Fennell of Empowerment Solutions will be presenting Strategic Planning Focus Group Data, and the board members will be approving next year’s personnel.
Patrick Fennell of Empowerment Solutions has been meeting with a variety of focus groups to gather feedback and input regarding the future of the Mine Hill School District. He will be presenting a summary of the data and a draft of a survey that will be distributed to the community soon.
Over the past three years one of the district’s goals has been to shift to teaching strategies that are aligned with students-centered learning and assessment. As a result, the Learner-Active, Technology Infused Classroom method was adopted and initiated in our classrooms. This year the Board has requested to have students and teachers present at board meetings. We are excited to hear from our primary grade levels about their successes.
Each year, the administration goes through a process to be certain that the district maintains the appropriate amount of staff necessary to provide a thorough and efficient education for the students registered in our school. Number of students per class, special education accommodations, available programs, scheduling, and facility use are all taken into consideration prior to administrative recommendations to the board. As such, the analysis for next year shows that the number of students aligned with the allowed grade span for the Multiple Disabled (MD) program, presented a need for only one MD room to remain. Based on that recommendation, we are obligated to eliminate one MD teacher for the 2019-20 school year.
We look forward to seeing you this evening and don’t forget to pick up your Krispy Kreme Donut orders by the outside gym doors from 6 to 8 pm!
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out anytime.
Best Regards,
Mr. Nittel
