Enrollm ent form s and fees will be collected. M onthly meetings provide training for the 70 to 80 mile trek during the week of July 5- 13. Like pioneers, travel will be on foot, on horseback and in covered w agons pulled by team s of draft horses and mules. The program involves coping with the challenge of outdoor living, working cooper atively in groups and sharing chores. It also involves making new friends and having fun! Families have been enjoying the program since 1982. Meetings will be held on the fourth W ednesday of every month beginning Feb. 27 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The meetings are mandatory. An overnight Tune Up Trek is scheduled for June 22 and 23. This gives pio neers a chance to try out newly learned skills and equipment before the actual Wagon Train. Tuition is $150 for adults and $125 for youth, with a fee of $30 for hay, if you bring a horse. The fee covers food and support for the entire week. Some economic assistance is available, upon application, for youth who might otherwise be unable to afford the full tuition.

The Con solidated District Improvement Plan (CDIP) for the 2002-2004 biennium was also presented to the board. According to Superintendent Marilyn McGlasson the board wanted to emphasize positive goals for students and employ ees in spite of the difficult eco nomic climate. The negotiation goals adopted by the board in clude treating employees fairly, maintaining strong communica tion and a high level of trust with staff, and educating all parties on the financial picture early in the process. Negotia tions with both certified and classified employees will begin in March. Board Chairman Willis Meeuwsen will represent the board in negotiating with both groups. He will be joined by Ann Station in classified ne gotiation and by Doug Nord- holm in negotiations with certi fied staff. Elementary Principal Marty Vogel presented the CDIP, which consolidates im prove ment goals for each of the dis trict’s three schools and pro- vides a brief introduction to the district. The elementary school has identified three goals. The first two goals are to improve stu dent performance on standard ized tests by at least two per cent in the areas of math and reading. The third goal is to re duce the number of problem solving referrals by 10 percent in each of the next two years. The junior high school also set im provem ent in student perform ance in reading and math as two of their goals. Ad ditionally the junior high has set goals to utilize technology in all curricular areas, and to in- crease the percentage of stu dents who meet or exceed the benchmark in the state writing assessment. At the high school level, goals include increasing the number of students achieving C ertificate of Initial Mastery (CIM) certification in Math and Reading by three percent per year, decreasing the dropout rate by one percent per year, and to increase the number of students receiving their full CIM to 100 students per year. The board complimented the high school administrative team on their efforts to reduce the drop out rate.
