Longest School Board Meeting of the Year

Last night the meeting room in the school district offices at Highland View Elementary were full of about 25 people, if not more, plus board members and administrators.

Some people were standing outside the door. A table had to be removed to make room for more seating. This was an indication of how long the night was going to be.

The meeting started promptly at 7 p.m. but ended close to 10:30 p.m. Student board member Carrie Staats even joked that it was past her bedtime once it was her turn to present her report at the end of the night.

Here's a look at some of the topics discussed:

• First Reading Program
• Elementary School Space Report/ Moving the District Offices
• Enrollment Pupil Service Report
• Educational Technology Report
• Greendale High School Guidance Report
• Civic Mission of Schools Report
• Student Board Members Presented Student Survey Results
