The grade configuration for northern elementary schools should be approved tomorrow night by the CCSD Board of Education. Currently Sunrise and North Park elementary schools serve grades K-2 while Summit and Greenville elementary schools serve grades 3-5. The new elementary school under construction in Smithfield will have to be a k-5 school. The school district administration sent ballots to parents asking if they would prefer changing all elementary schools to K-5. The overwhelming majority of those who responded want to keep the current arrangement. The school board will make the final decision tomorrow night during their regular school board meeting.

Once the grade configurations are approved the board will be prepared to change boundaries for the next school year when the new school is finished. There are two public meetings to discuss the boundary changes — Dec. 1 at Sunrise elementary and Dec. 2 at Greenville.

Also on the agenda for school board to consider:

1. Proposed employee background policy
2. CEA negotiation agreements
3. The 2010-2011 school calendar
4. Budget status report
5. Superintendent’s district report

The board meets at tomorrow (Nov. 15) at 5:30 p.m. at 2035 North 1200 East, Logan. The public is invited to attend.
