Notes from the September School Board Meeting

Perhaps the shortest meeting ever, not that anyone's complaining!

First, the monthly What's Right Report:

Julie--There have been excellent turnouts at the open houses she's seen. It's neat to see so many parents involved.
Kelly--She recently attended a legislative assembly and had a good time.
Rod--He recently attended an away volleyball game and was impressed at how Medical Lake's athletic facilities compared to this league rival.
Peggy--She attended PIE (Parent Information Evening) at the Elementary School. An excellent event, and there was pie!
Ron--The football games have been going well; it's a testament to the good coaching the kids are getting. The new pressbox will also be a great thing for the school.

Pam--We have an excellent, supportive school board. She also praised the partnership we have with Fairchild and the access the district has been able to get.
Ralph--When Colville's team bus broke down, our transportation department stepped up to help them get home.
Don--The September payroll got done, which is always something of a minor miracle because of all the changes that have to be entered into the system and tracked.


The other highlight of the night was a report on fall athletics presented by Dr. Veltri. There are 236 kids turned out this season, broken down as follows:

Cheerleading--11
Dance Team--12
Volleyball--48 players on 3 different teams
Soccer--36 players
Cross County--49 runners
Football--80 players

The meeting adjourned shortly before 7:30.

We're back!

Hello MLEA friends,

First, we apologize for the lack of updates on the website the last few months. Last year was the year 1, let's get it worked out phase, but we have a ton of good ideas for year 2. We'll also send out updates to let you know when there's new content, so check back often!

To catch up, though, here's the links to the past few month's worth of articles in the Cheney Free Press regarding our Medical Lake school board meetings. We always have an association representative in attendance, and if you ever have questions about the meetings or clarification from the article you can email me here and I'll try my best to give you what you need!

Other projects that the MLEA will be working on this year include supporting the Simple Majority campaign, our WEA PAC membership drive, and working on the next renegotiation of the contract this coming June.

As always, please feel free to contact your building rep or a member of the exec board if you have any questions!
