Upcoming School Board Meetings for Falmouth Maine

The Falmouth School District is now back in full swing, and the Administrators and the School Board members have spent time this summer preparing for the challenges that lie ahead. To that end, we have developed topics for the Board workshops up through this coming spring. They are as follows:


November 1, 2010:

1. How can we set appropriate goals and evaluate our world languages programs?

2. What does the research tell us are the benefits of an all day kindergarten program? What options might we consider?

December 6, 2010:

1. What farm-to-school program opportunities are available to Falmouth? What costs and benefits might we anticipate if we expand the more modest program that currently exists?

2. What is the status of transition planning K-5 and 6-8? What other issues remain?

January 3, 2010:

1. What are the class size numbers and teacher: student ratios we are experiencing this year across the district? What changes are anticipated?

2. Does the list of tiered reductions previously proposed still make sense as we approach budget priorities for FY12?

February 7, 2010:

1. What are our budget priorities for FY12?

March 7, 2010:

1. What are our budget priorities for FY12?

April 4, 2010:

1. What were some of the big ideas raised at the recent Community Dialogue? Which of those would the Board suggest are critical in the next two-year plan?

May 2 and June 6: TBD

Board workshops are generally held on the first Monday of the month in the FHS Music Room at 7pm.
