School board meets Tuesday

I graduated from California Baptist University in April 2021 and was ready for a change of scenery, which is what brought me to North Idaho. Currently, I’m enjoying being newly married. My husband and I spend our weekends huckleberry picking, working on home improvement projects, taking my husky Judah on walks, spoiling our kitten Opal, and making plans to travel while we earn the means to do so. I love hanging out with family, studying indigenous arts and culture, going on outdoor adventures and creating wood-burning projects. I’m also always down for a casual debate about anything from philosophy and politics to the best local coffee shops. My childhood was filled with dreams of working in almost every field — archeologist, architect, writer, historian, aviator and mathematician were just a few titles I hoped to hold one day. After my first semester in college, I found myself wondering how choosing a major was ever going to be in the cards for me. But, with a little help from friends and family, I realized that the title of “journalist” is a good title for someone who is interested in a little bit of everything. When you can’t be everything, you can always write about everything. | December 12, 2023 1:00 AM
PONDERAY — Lake Pend Oreille School District will be meeting for its monthly board meeting Tuesday.
Discussion about a possible board-hosted town hall meeting and the Idaho School Board Association's annual convention report are on the agenda. First readings about revisions of policies regarding the middle-level credit system, education of homeless children, and the district hiring process will be reviewed.
The board will also be conducting a declaration of candidates elected to the Lake Pend Oreille School Board in the November election.
Other board action items include approvals of the Clark Fork Jr./Sr. High School scholarship endowment fund and Clark Fork Jr./Sr. High School gymnasium roofing shingle replacement.
The board will also go into executive session to consider policy regarding “evaluation, dismissal or disciplining of, or to hear complaints or charges brought against, a public officer, employee, staff member or individual agent, or public school student,” the agenda said.
The meeting will take place today at 5 p.m. at the LPOSD district office, 901 Triangle Drive, Ponderay.
