December 16 School Board Agenda

Here's a look at what's on the agenda for the December 16 meetings of the Wake County Board of Education.

Committee of the Whole: The school board gathers in the Board Conference Room at 1 p.m. to discuss Future Ready Core Graduation Requirements and quarterly appropriation and reallocation requests for capital funding.

The regular board meeting then begins at 3 p.m.

Financial information: The school board will receive the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, as well as information about the annual audit from the Independent Auditing Committee and the auditing firm. The CAFR will be posted at the Accounting Department website.

Multi-year assignment recommendations: The Department of Growth and Planning will present recommendations for the three-year assignment plan. The school board will conduct public hearings and work sessions on the plan beginning in January.

Action items: The school board will consider:

  • its legislative agenda for 2009,

  • Future Ready Core Graduation requirements for 2009-2010,

  • an interlocal agreement between the City of Raleigh and the school board regarding roadway and site improvements for Lacy Elementary,

  • a request to the Town of Cary for a modification to its Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance,

  • offsite road improvements for Panther Creek High,

  • and reallocation of Capital Improvement Plan 2006 funding to continue progress on the H-6 high school.

As usual, there's also a list of items handled all at once as part of the consent agenda. These are routine, procedural actions; any single board member can pull an item from the consent agenda for further discussion in the action agenda.

Sign-up sheets for the public comment period will be available at 2:00 p.m. and will be taken up at approximately 3:45 p.m.
