CALL TO ORDER 1.01 The regular meeting of the Board of Directors was called to order by President Desmarais. 1.02 The Board and audience recited the pledge of allegiance to the flag. President Desmarais excused Director Eider, who was absent due to travel for work and welcomed superintendent elect Dr. Merri Rieger who was present in the audience. President Desmarais then announced that the meeting was being digitally recorded and that the agenda background materials are available on-line on the district‟s website the Monday preceding every board meeting. President Desmarais stated that agenda items are provided on the Friday prior to each meeting for individual Board Directors to review. Any questions or concerns regarding routine matters are addressed with the Superintendent prior to the Board meeting. 2. SPECIAL PROCLAMATIONS/PRESENTATIONS 2.01 Utility Incentive Presentation Resource Conservation Manager, Jonathan Stine introduced representatives from Puget Sound Energy who presented incentive checks for the Hazen High School improvements ($19,530) and interior lighting upgrades ($44,162). President Desmarais and Superintendent Risdon had their photograph taken as they received each check. Board members expressed their appreciation for Mr. Stine‟s work and commented that the savings in resource conservation translates to saving in education. 3. "GOOD NEWS" ANNOUNCEMENTS 3.01 "Good News" Announcements Board members read the following good news announcements: 1. More than 30 Lindbergh High School students recently earned high school foreign language credits by taking a series of tests administered by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. Two of the students, Ha and Khoa Nguyen, earned the last few credits they needed to be able to graduate. What made their work even more impressive is that the sister and brother duo arrived in the U.S. in May 2010 from Vietnam, speaking no English and with only a few high school credits. In just a little more than two years, both students passed all their classes, met all state and district graduation requirements, and passed the state‟s High School Proficiency Exams to be able to walk in Lindbergh High‟s recent graduation ceremony. Renton School Board Meeting June 26, 2013 2. More than 50 Dimmitt Middle School 8th-graders recently had the opportunity to take a field trip to the Southcenter Barnes and Noble, where they selected books for themselves and for their classroom library, thanks to the support of Renton community members Bernie and Denny Dochnahl. This is the third year that the local couple has funded the trip, and purchased all of the books, for Dimmitt students who throughout the school year demonstrated a commitment to reading and growth in their analysis of literature. Dimmitt Middle School language arts teachers Adam Swinney and John Austin worked with students this year to engage them in the love of literature. 3. Hazen High School‟s Drill Team has been recognized as one of the nation‟s best-choreographed military dance drill teams and awarded the 2013 Creative Precision Award. The Hazen team, led by Lydia Sim, Newin Pales, Quynh Nhu Tran, Valerie Tran and Kristin Sargent, took the prize from over hundreds of routines considered. The Creative Precision Awards program is an independent, not-for-profit program comprised of seasoned staff from diverse fields of entertainment, sports precision and dance drill teams. 4. Bryn Mawr Elementary School Family Liaison Maria Ochoa-Meyers recently organized the school‟s first “Planting Seeds-Living Dreams” college and career fair where 4th- and 5th-grade students learned about job and college opportunities. Community members visited classrooms to share information about their jobs and the education needed to succeed. Guest speakers included engineers, counselors, 911 operators, a police detective and a student ambassador from a nearby community college. 5. Nelsen Middle School computer science teacher Rebecca Ritchie was named Teacher of the Week by the Seattle Mariners and WSECU credit union. Rebecca was nominated by Nelsen assistant principal Dr. Elaine Love. For being selected, Rebecca received a $500 classroom grant from WSECU and a pair of tickets to a Seattle Mariners baseball game. 4. CONSENT AGENDA (Items 4.01 through 4.13) 4.01 Minutes 1.

  • Evaluation of Current Facility and Programs
    EVALUATION OF CURRENT FACILITY AND PROGRAMS The evaluation of current facilities and programs include a general overview of public facilities on the Eastside and the specific evaluation of the existing Bellevue Aquatic Center at Odle Middle School. THE BELLEVUE AQUATIC CENTER AT ODLE MIDDLE SCHOOL The 6 lane 25 yard pool (the Blue Lagoon) at the BAC/Odle was built in 1970 with the 1,750 square foot warm water therapy pool (Hot Springs) added in 1997 by the City of Bellevue when they took ownership of the facility from King County. The population of Bellevue in 1970 was 61,200. Today the population is 148,100. Over ten years ago the 2009 Bellevue Aquatic Center Feasibility Study concluded that the existing BAC/Odle pools could not meet existing demand when the population of Bellevue was 120,000. Today the lack of aquatic facilities to support the City needs is much worse with a population of 148,100 and growing. Waitlists for City swim lessons have grown to over 900 individuals. As great as the need for more pool space in Bellevue is, the need for specific varieties and types of pool space is even greater. Following is an assessment of the current BAC/Odle facility and programming. The majority of programming at the BAC/Odle is provided by independent outside contractors. The aquatic programs provided by contractors are described as follows in the Bellevue Recreation Department Connections publication: “The Bellevue Aquatic Center has a diverse group of contractors operating at our facility. These program areas include: physical, occupational, and recreational therapy, fitness and exercise programs, USS Swim teams, private and group swim lessons, triathlon training, springboard diving, and Scuba Diving.” SPLASHForward and ISG have spoken with many of these outside contractors in our analysis of the BAC/Odle facility as well as the needs and opportunities for a new Aquatic Center and the renovation of the existing BAC/Odle.

  • I Dual-Credit Access, Participation And
    Dual-Credit Access, Participation and Outcomes in Washington State Ashley Birkeland A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Margaret L. Plecki, Chair Elizabeth A. Sanders Ana M. Elfers Program Authorized to Offer Degree: College of Education i ©Copyright 2019 Ashley Birkeland ii University of Washington ABSTRACT Dual-Credit Access, Participation and Outcomes in Washington State Ashley Birkeland Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Margaret L. Plecki College of Education Dual-credit has become a prominent topic in education as states look for additional opportunities to prepare students to succeed in college. Research has shown that students who earn college credit in high school are more likely to enroll in college. In Washington, there is currently a policy in place to increase enrollment in dual-credit courses. In addition, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) has given states more flexibility in how they are held accountable and Washington is one of the states that adopted dual-credit participation as an accountability measure. This study is informed by the results of a previous pilot study and includes all six dual- credit programs offered in Washington state. The six programs are AP, Cambridge, College in the High School, IB, Running Start and Tech Prep. Both descriptive and predictive approaches are taken to answer the questions 1) who has access and participates in different dual-credit programs, and 2) does dual-credit participation predict high school graduation and college enrollment after controlling for demographics and GPA? The results of this study provide a more nuanced picture of dual-credit access in Washington when only basic statistics at the state level have been produced thus far.
