Banks School Board adopt
ed three measures at Monday
night’s meeting which will help
guide the district tor the next
several years.
Superintendent Marilyn Mc-
Glasson’s contract will be ex
tended for the next three years.
Her work over the last two
years has helped to get the dis
trict on the road to fiscal health,
including obtaining a loan from
the state allowing the district to
continue to operate.
Appropriately, the board
also adopted a set of Budget
Guiding Principles, 2000-2004.
The district is under a four-year
debt repayment program,
which is the primary budget
consideration. However, the
board saw fit to outline priori
ties in the areas of finance, fa
cilities, curriculum, activities/
athletics and technology. The
guiding principles are intended
to provide a framework for fu
ture appropriations and are
subject to annual review and
possible change.
A budget meeting is sched
uled for Monday, April 3 at 7:00
p.m., in the Banks High School
Library.
The board also adopted a
revised set of graduation re
quirements. The class of 2003
will be required to complete
three math credits (up from
two), allowing graduating stu
dents the opportunity to com
plete basic algebra and geom
etry instruction.
A total of 24 credits will be
required for graduation, with
four in language arts, three in
