d. Request for PG rated movie at Linden Park
A request has been made to show a movie associated with a spelling activity recently held in the school. In this
instance the policy is silent. Policy does however give the Superintendent the authority, granted by the Board, to
approve such issues without taking board action. The movie has been reviewed and reported to be an appropriate
reward as a culminating activity with the appropriate parent permission signed prior to viewing the movie.
e. Mayor's Relations Resolution
The Board of Trustees has been asked to consider a resolution to support diversity and promote educational
