The board briefly discussed a possible addition to instructional
policy. This proposed policy change would define
circumstances where a high school student would be allowed to
attend another local school district to participate in a vocational
program not otherwise offered at Northeast. Further study was
called for. The issue will be readdressed at a future
date.
The board re-emphasized its desire to hear from staff and
patrons regarding the goals it is developing.
