WORKING WITH YOUR SCHOOL BOARD

WELCOME to another Twin Falls School District Board of Trustees Meeting. You are encouraged to attend all

regular board meetings.

We are proud of our school system and the board members are dedicated to the continued improvement of the

Twin Falls Schools.

We understand that from time to time patrons of school districts have concerns and feel a need to bring those

concerns to the attention of the school or teachers. In order to maintain continuity and best resolve these

concerns, we recommend to our patrons the following procedures:

1. The first and most effective step is to take the concern to the staff member who is closest to the

problem. (In many cases this will be the teacher, coach, etc.) We have found that most problems are

resolved at this level.

2. If there is still a concern on the matter, we then recommend that the concern be brought to the attention

of the Principal. We have found that unresolved concerns from item #1 are usually resolved

satisfactorily by the building administrator.

3. If the concern is not satisfactorily resolved at that level, then the concern should be taken to the Director

of Elementary Programs or Director of Secondary Programs.

4. If the concern is not satisfactorily resolved at that level, then the concern should be taken to the

Superintendent of Schools. Difficult concerns can usually be resolved.

5. However, ifthe patron still feels the concern has not been properly resolved he/she may use the right of

appeal to the Board of Trustees. This is done by calling or writing to the Superintendent and asking for

the item to be placed on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled board meeting.

6. If you desire to address the board, we would like you to be as comfortable as possible. As a board we

hold public meetings which are not publfo forums and therefore have rules which are necessary for the

benefit of all. The following guidelines will assist you as you present your information to the board.

A. Prepare your thoughts ahead of time. Usually a briefwritten outline handed to each board

member helps the board follow your presentation. This outline would also give them something

upon which to make notes as you speak.

B. If a group is involved, select one individual to be your spokesperson. He/she can then guide the

presentation with the board and help the board chairman in directing questions to the group.

C. Plan your presentation to be as brief as possible. This should include a question/answer period.

If more time is needed it is best to give a complete written presentation to the board for their

future study. If you give more than five to six minutes of testimony, time restraints will make it

difficult for the board to respond that same evening.

D. Usually the board will direct the administration to help resolve the concerns and ask for a report

back to the board at a later date. However, please remember a solution may take time to be

resolved.

We are eager to have our patrons and school staff working together for the improvement of education in the

Twin Falls Schools.

Thank you for coming. Please come again.

Your Board of Trustees

DRAFT# 4 (Data Day moved to 6th, Nov. 11th Jan 16th to Nov. 21st and 22nd, no change to Christmas, Feb. 17th to 21st)

Twin Falls High School

Construction Report

1/11/16

Winter break was a productive time for Starr at TFHS. ClimaTech was able to balance 80% of the rooftop

units which will help with classroom temperatures. In addition, the windows in the cafeteria and

counselors office area were replaced, and progress was made on the fire suppression system. The

project continues to progress as planned.

Canyon Ridge High School

Work continues on the new addition. The schedule remains very tight and Starr will continue to look for

opportunities to pick up days to help with the opening of the new wing this summer.

Rock Creek Elementary

Work continues to be ahead of schedule. All of the rooms now have sheetrock and many of the rooms

are painted. Cabinets are going in and it won't be long until floor finishes begin. We have had to work

through a few mechanical issues (heating/cooling systems) but these appear to be resolved and the

team continues to move forward. Kudos to the design and construction team for working together to

find solutions.

Pillar Falls Elementary

The lessons we have learned at Rock Creek are being realized at Pillar Falls. This saves money as issues

can be addressed well ahead of construction. The skeleton of the school continues to take shape and it

won't be long until the building starts to be enclosed.

South Hills Middle School

Utilities are in and work continues on the foundation. Weather has been a factor; however, Andersen

does not believe it will impact the schedule. We have encountered rock in a number of locations;

however, this was expected as we completed a rock survey when the property was purchased. Rock

removal costs are within the amounts established in our contract.

Camera Upgrade

Robert Stuart is now complete and work has begun at CRHS and TFHS. Our IT department will continue

with this project over the next year in order to upgrade the entire district.
