The superintendent recognized students and staff members for honors and achievements earned in recent weeks. Congratulations were extended to the following:
The Board held a public hearing on the 2011-2012 Schools FIRST accountability rating.
The Board approved the 2013 Tax Rate Resolution to support the 2013-2014 Maintenance and Operations (M&O) and Debt Service budgets by setting the 2013 M&O and Interest and Sinking (I&S) tax rates.
The M&O tax rate was set at $1.04 per $1,000 of property valuation, while the I&S tax rate was set at $0.41 per $1,000 property valuation, leaving the total 2013-2014 tax rate unchanged at $1.45 per $1,000 property valuation.
Representatives from PBK architecture presented a report on the progress of the design of High School No. 11. The school will follow an education village concept—a multi-campus site where each individual school works in close connection with the other schools to provide for a community of learners. Within the site, schools share facilities and resources in order to maximize the learning experience for each student. The schools will be organized in a manner that provides for enhanced outdoor learning areas and multi-use courtyards.
The proposed multi-school site will be located on a 179-acre plot of land north of FM 529, east of Freeman Road and west of Westgreen Blvd.
The new high school will feature three floors and include 21st-century learning environments, as well as career pathways based on HB5 for STEM, business and industry, public services, arts and humanities and multi-disciplinary study areas.
