The next EMID Board meeting is, fittingly, at Crosswinds School this Wednesday, 10/20, at 5:30pm. It is fitting that this is one of the rare board meetings at Crosswinds because the board is actually making a decision of vital importance to Crosswinds’ future. On the action agenda is the “High School Feasibility Study.” Dr. Cassellius is asking the board to drop the whole idea of 11th and 12th grade at Crosswinds

After significant listening and gathering of stakeholder input, it is recommended that the Board not conduct a feasibility study to expand grades 11 and 12 at Crosswinds. It is further recommeneded that the Board discuss the overall grade configuration for the EMID schools within its upcoming strategic planning.

The full board packet (PDF) is available on the EMID website.

Other items of interest to families may be an update on the Statewide Task Force on School Integration, the approval of the permanent contract for Crosswinds Principal Bryan Bass, and the Annual Report on Curriculum, Instruction and Student Achievement.

All in all, an ambitious agenda, well worth attending if you have the time during this break-week. Remember, the meetings now start at 5:30pm and this one will be at Crosswinds!
