The next board meeting is on Wednesday 11/20 at 5:30 at Crosswinds.
This month’s board packet includes the legislative agenda the EMID board plans to discuss:
- We support the conveyance of Harambee Elementary School to ISD 623 Roseville Public Schools for the continued purpose of serving as a multi-district integration school effective July 1, 2014.
- We support the conveyance of Crosswinds Arts and Science Magnet School to Perpich Center for the Arts for the continued purpose of serving as a multi-district integration school effective July 1, 2014.
- We support the continuation of EMID as an Integration District supporting the East Metro Area.
- We request adequate and continuing integration funding supporting the student, staff, and family shared services to support integration and equity across the member districts.
- We request flexibility in budgeting to provide more opportunities for professional development and organizational support (versus 80% student service, 10% professional development, 10% administration) in order to make systemic changes.
If the board does adopt this agenda, we will be in a strong position to finally get conveyance of the schools to their new partners in 2014. Please join us at this meeting to urge the EMID board to speak with a unified voice on this very important agenda item.
