ON THE AGENDA

Here are some of the items the board of trustees will be

discussing tonight.

FISCAL REPORT

Assistant Supt. of Business Services Paul Reed will present the

board with the 2003-04 second period interim report. This item was

held from the previous meeting.

WHAT TO EXPECT

State law requires school districts to file interim reports twice

each fiscal year. The first covers the financial and budgetary status

of the district through the end of October. This one will cover the

period ending Jan. 31.

Based on current information, Reed wrote in his report to the

board, the district meets the state’s standards and criteria for

fiscal stability and should continue to though the end of the school

year.

NATIONAL BOARD CERTIFICATION

Three Newport-Mesa teachers passed exams to become National Board

Certified teachers.

The assessment process includes a classroom-based portfolio and a

set of exams and exercises organized around student work and

standards-based teaching. The National Board for Professional

Teaching Standards, created in 1987, gives the certification.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Michelle Hanscom from College Park Elementary, Amy Hocker from

Newport Heights Elementary and Chandra Prough from Newport Coast

Elementary were named National Board Certified Teachers and will be

recognized before the meeting.
