We seek to sustain an educational community where an emphasis on academic excellence is complemented by our concern for each learner’s personal growth and intellectual, aesthetic, and psychological development. The curriculum is developmentally responsive – actively engaging students in learning skills in context, integrative – directing students to connect learning to daily lives, and exploratory – enabling students to discover their abilities, interests, learning styles, and ways that they can make contributions to society.

 

 

Information on procedures for public comment can be found at https://www.seasideschools.net/domain/35.

 

If anyone needs special assistance to participate in the public input session, every effort will be made to provide an appropriate accommodation. When requesting accommodations for public input, please allow no less than 1 business day notice prior to the scheduled meeting.

 

Specific issues about a particular student should only be addressed to the school’s Director of Student Services, rather than the Board of Directors.

 

All public comments will be taken under advisement by the Board, but will not elicit a written or spoken response. The names of persons providing public comment and a brief summary of topics or input will be included in the meeting minutes published. A response will be provided to the stakeholder within seven (7) days.

A.

Budget Updates

Needs for portables:

- Transformer

- Potential restrooms to meet code

- Identify the resolutions to the violations

 

Decision on the two year lease vs. three year (two year will go back to the market price). No fees for extension. 

Three year...not a great deal of gain. Must fulfill 80% of the lease. 

 

One concern is not having the transformers in the timeframe needed. 

Electrician to fill out the loan form (multiple communications)

Looking for other options...we could ask the parent body. 

Drew is reaching out to additional vendors. 

 

Four modulars - two year lease looks like the recommendation.
