Motion by Mrs. Zipperer, second by Mr. Fredrickson for Executive Session: Idaho Code 67-2345, Subsection (b) to consider the evaluation, dismissal or disciplining of, or to hear complaints or charges brought against a public officer, employee, staff member or individual agent or public school student; (c) to conduct deliberations concerning labor negotiations or to acquire an interest in real property which is not owned by a public agency: roll call vote; Quinn, Newby, Wood, Fredrickson, and Zipperer, each “yes”.

At 2:50 pm, the meeting returned to open session. At 3:00 pm, Mrs. Wood left the meeting.

Budget and Finance Planning Workshop – The board established that their annual meeting would be held July 24, 2006, and their annual budget hearing for the 2006-2007 school year would be held June 19, 2006, at 5:00 pm. Mr. Briggs shared information on the planning thus far, some of the challenges for the coming year, adding that more information may be available after the State Department of Education holds its post-legislative meeting next week, April 26th. Mr. Briggs advised that a community patron would like to raise funds for gym floor replacement at Coeur d’Alene High School. The board shared concerns, suggested some guidelines for such a fundraiser, and added that donor recognition should be in the form of a plaque near the facility.

Attendance Zones Report and Update – Mr. Briggs reported that in February the Attendance Zone Committee started meeting to address a process for adjusting elementary attendance zones. The adjustments would primarily be on the west side of the district due to the scheduled completion of the Ramsey Elementary renovation and addition. The committee has held several meetings and is considering four proposals to balance school enrollments for next year. Mr. Briggs shared these draft proposals and the board offered their questions and input. The Attendance Zone Committee will meet again next week. At that time they will move ahead with their planning, and with a green light from the board, will also look at proposals for balancing middle school enrollments next fall by adjusting attendance zone lines.

At 4:20 pm, the meeting adjourned.
