The ISLA School Board met on October 17th, 2017 at 6:30pm.
Here is what we have been working on:
The Board met for a follow-up meeting with Carlo
Cuesta, planning and vision consultant for the next phase of strategic
planning. Carlo has had the chance to work with the Board twice and a parent
group one time in order to put together a summary report of where ISLA should
focus strategic planning.
Give to the Max day is coming up! Previous to
this year there have been two ways to donate to ISLA; the ISLA PTO and ISLA
itself. A coordinated communication with one place to give will be communicated
to parents shortly.
The Facilities Committee has found a parent who
is able to repair the potholes in the back teacher parking lot. This will allow
ISLA to save a significant portion of this repair and ensure better use of the
teacher lot.
In August, the Board voted on removing the Early
Entrance Policy for kindergartners to ISLA. This was reviewed per the September
Board minutes at the October meeting.

you to the ISLA families that fed the teachers and
