In the consent agenda a policy for advanced learners is

This policy is supported and also recommended by WBESC and Sandra
Freeman, Coordinator, Gifted Services.

of putting together a 5–Year Permanent Improvement Plan. Committee
members present were Brian Gerber, Kevin Wilson, Alan Lautzenheiser,
Sarah Deatrick, Rob Wannemacher, Jo Ellen Sisson, Kathy Flaugh, Amy
Noggle, and Jim Linder. The purpose of the initial meeting was to begin
the planning stages for a 5-Year Permanent Improvement Plan. The plan
will be based on “Necessity” and “Need.” The academic and technology
program, food service department, transportation department, and
athletic departments will have their first round recommendations
submitted by November 1. There is no guarantee that departments
mentioned above will receive the items submitted. The only guarantee is
that a plan will be devised and reviewed by the Board. The Board will
determine appropriations based upon the health of the budget.

allow the superintendent and Board members to attend the Ohio School
