Minutes: Ilah Breen - Coppergate Elementary spoke on the contract and RTI process.

42. Announcements

Minutes: 

1.   The Florida Education Investment Fund will be open as of Friday, October 22, 2010.

2.   The Clay County Schools Membership Report for the last 10 years was distributed to Board Members. Through the years Clay County Schools have seen growth of 3, 4 & 5%, however, since 2007 the school system has seen declining enrollment.  For 2010-2011, there appears to be a trace of growth.  This growth, along with the class size requirement has forced the district to expend approximately $2 million in order to comply with the class by class mandate.

3.    A Fact Sheet was distributed providing information on the .25 mil Critical Needs Assessment on the November 2nd ballot.  If this referendum does not pass, the Clay County Schools will lose $4.5 million.  Mr. Wortham sought approval of the Board to advertise this Fact Sheet in the local newspapers.

4.   An opportunity has been offered to distribute educational information through the publication "Mark of Excellence" at no cost to the district. This will alleviate the cost associated with the Extra Credit.

5.  The Superintendent recognized that this would have been Carol Vallencourt's last Board meeting.  Due to medical reasons she was unable to attend.  A personal video and written statement from Mrs. Vallencourt was presented for those in attendance.

Motions:
Motion to approve the publishing of a Fact Sheet representing the .25 Critical Operating Millage for two weeks (2 advertisements) in the 2 local newspapers (My Clay Sun, with the Times Union, and the Clay Today). The approximate cost is to be $2,000.	- PASS
