SCHOOL BOARD TO ADD BACK ELEMENTARY WORLD LANGUAGES, CUT NEW MATH INTERVENTION

From the school district this afternoon:

There is a resolution on the agenda for tonight’s Board of Education meeting to give final approval for the 2017-2018 budget and to set the tax levy.  

The final budget before the Board restores World Languages in the 4^th and 5^th grades.  This is budget neutral, since reinstating the 2 Elementary World Language teachers will be offset by eliminating the proposed addition of 2 math intervention teachers.

The meeting is set for 7:30 p.m. in the Columbia High School library.

 The agenda for the Board meeting is available here.
You can watch the Board meeting via livestream here or on the Columbia Cable Network (CCN)\
