WORK SESSION
PROPERTY TAX RELIEF ACT:
Guy Wangsgard distributed a handout of Budget Revenues. Ernest Jensen explained that there
will still be a Property Tax Notice that shows school district property taxes. General M & O on
Line 3 of the budget is the only item that will be there. There will not be a net difference in the
revenues received from property taxes. We should receive our first check October 1.
IDAHO DIGITAL LEARNING ACADEMY:
George Boland distributed a packet of information in the Friday Letter to the board of trustees. In
this packet was policy information from Boise, Meridian, Lewiston and Twin Falls and how they
manage their IDLA program. The program is Northwest accredited. George will draft a policy to
present to the curriculum committee of the board during the October Board Meeting.
STRATEGIC PLANNING UPDATE:
Craig Ashton presented a district planning matrix to the board of trustees. The state adopted our
programming. The schools have their planning time lines in this tool and they are planning to
have their plans for school year 2006-2007 done by November 8, 2006. Schools who have failed
AYP will need to have their plans completed by December 15, 2006.
