The next Bellingham School Board meeting is Thursday, 7:30 p.m., Sept. 24. On the agenda are reports on summer maintenance and bond projects, which will include updates on Lowell and Larrabee elementaries. Minutes from the Sept. 10 school board meeting note that assistant superintendent Ron Cowan plans to talk about both neighborhood schools.
From the Sept. 10 minutes, here is the statement in context, under School Board Directors’ Reports:
"Ann Whitmyer reported the Board has held additional meetings to discuss releasing Dr. Vedra from his contract and appointing Sherrie Brown as acting superintendent.
During the first day of school, Ms. Whitmyer visited Transportations, Options High School, Fairhaven Middle School, and Happy Valley and Columbia elementary schools. Whitmyer asked how much of our higher enrollment can be attributed to students moving from private schools. She also requested an update on facilities, including the status of Lowell Elementary School, which remained closed for the 2009–10 school year as part of the budget reduction process. During the 2009–10 school year, additional work is scheduled at Lowell prior to reopening for the 2010–11 school year.
Assistant Superintendent Row Cowan confirmed that he will present a facilities update to the Board at the September 24 School Board meeting, including updates on Lowell and Larrabee elementary schools, Shuksan Middle Schools play fields, and the ongoing work at Whatcom Middle School."
Also on the agenda is a report on enrollment. Should be interesting!
