2 D-49 board meetings set for next week

The Falcon School District 49 school board has scheduled two special board meetings next week to handle business that has gone untouched since April.The two meetings are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday and Wednesday in the board room at the Central Administration Building, 10850 Woodmen Road.Many of the items on the agendas date to a meeting in late April that ended when two board members walked out. Subsequent board meetings to handle district business have not had a quorum, so no action could be taken.Included among the action items for Monday’s meeting are technology improvements for the POWER Zone, a charter school contract renewal and Falcon Elementary School innovation plan application.Tuesday’s agenda includes votes for a new board member and the budget for the 2012-13 school year. According to state statute, if a budget for the 2012-13 school year is not approved by the end of the month, about 90 percent of the previous year’s budget will be used to dictate funding.
