Public Comments
- Dr. McCabe opened Public Comments saying that, by law, school districts must have a balanced budget by June 15. Because of the District's continued loss of students, additional cuts need to be made across all levels. One item being considered at the high school level is the number of PE teachers at EHS. Based on data collected, it is recommended the EHS PE staff be cut by one teacher. Because these are tenured teachers, this would become a transfer, not a dismissal. The position of trainer would remain as it currently is. No final decisions have been made at this time.
- The EHS Dean, nine students, and three parent/community members addressed the Board regarding current climate and issues at Englewood High School, including losing individualism to standardized testing statistics, communication between students and administration, and possible changes in teaching assignments.
