LCHS Alpine: Installation of volleyball poles complete. We are now seeking our own bid to fill in and seal the remaining cracks in the back area blacktop instead of going through Morrin Construction. Junior Academy: Getting bids to fix and expand the field; looking at how to develop the lot where the Red House stood into PE, recreation, lunch, and/or outdoor learning spaces. Small curb removed to allow for an extra lane of pick up traffic on site. Neighbor has complained to the city of El Cajon. More cars can now be stored on site which has eliminated the back up on Bradley Ave. Primary Academy: The church started installation of solar panels on the roof of the main building. Liberty Academy: As part of their CUP, the company operating the battery storage facility to our north on Johnson will erect an 8 foot masonry wall along our property line. We are getting estimates on roof repair.

| F. | 2022-23 Independent Study Board Policies Update | |
|
The CBO recommends the board approve the revised 2022-23 Independent Study Board Policies which now reflect current law regarding when written independent study contracts must be signed. For contracts more than 14 school days, contracts must be signed prior to the start of enrollment. For contracts lasting less than 15 school days, the contracts must be signed within 10 school days of the start of the independent study program.
Our previous policy stated we would have long term contracts signed at least 15 days prior to enrollment and short term contracts at least 10 days prior to enrollment. This is not practical and far more restrictive than the law allows. |
