King City Union School Board meeting recap

A King City Union School Board Study Session was held on Wednesday night, March 7 at the Magnet Arts Auditorium. The first item on the agenda that was approved was an agreement with Regreen, Inc. to have lighting replacement and fixture work completed for all of the schools in the District. The work will be paid for through $406,000 of Prop 39 funds and a $115,000 PG&E Direct Bill. The next topic involved discussion of grade level configurations in the District. Pros and cons were brought up regarding what it would do for the District to have a K through 8^th grade Academy school, a dual immersion school, a technology, arts and science school and another school at a site that would be determined later. Pros and cons were also brought forth about breaking up all of the grades PreK through 8^th grade into 4 public schools or having them configured into 2 schools. In addition, they also talked about the pros and cons of what having a single track year-round school program could do for teachers, staff, students and parents in the District. The Board agreed to discuss this issue further at another meeting.
