During the March 8th SVUSD school board meeting there were several key points meeting which I feel need to reach the broader community. A few days after the meeting, knowing they’re captured on tape I email Brenda Spalding, Assistance to the Superintendent, and Dr. Silver asking if the audio could be made available on the web. I was pleasantly surprised when Dr. Silver indicated they were working on converting the tape to digital format and the result was posted to the district’s website (see Audio of meeting).

Here are the items I recommend listening to with the start time as indicated:

• 00:55 Dr. Silver’s opening remarks (includes remarks regarding her June retirement)
• 16:53 Katie Bagley Brook Knoll Kindergarten teacher’s open comment
• 23:55 Karen Jelcick’s comments related to the budget:
• Budget Development Presentation
• Elimination of Certificated Services
• Cert Personnel Action Report
• Classified Action Report

I’d like to especially thank Brenda Spalding and Dr. Silver for making this recording available.
