Money questions and wording have stalled work on several innovation plans in Falcon School District 49. The school board voted Thursday night to temporarily withdraw plans for changes at three schools to give staff time to review the proposals.

Plans for Meridian Ranch International School and Woodmen Hills Elementary School in the Falcon Innovation Zone are on hold while principals and staff work on budgets and refine wording. The plans will likely be presented to the board in September, said Monty Lammers, who was recently named the Falcon Zone innovation leader.

The plan for Springs Ranch Elementary School in the Sand Creek Zone was also put on hold for needed budget changes, according to board documents.

However, the board voted to move forward with the innovation plan for Horizon Middle School, also in the Sand Creek Innovation Zone. The plan, which includes waivers sought for policies such as evaluations and scheduling, will go to the state for approval.

The Colorado Board of Education approved innovation plans for six D-49 schools in June.

In other action, the board voted:

• To move the Ascent Program for expelled students and enrollment to offices at 4029 Tutt Blvd. Central Enrollment will eventually move to the new location. The lease is about $32,600, board members said.

• Welcomed two new administrators. Paul Andersen is the personnel director, a position approved as part of the 2012-13 budget. Richard Hammond is the new D-49 transportation director, replacing longtime D-49 employee Cindy Hardin. He spent time working in transportation with Denver Public Schools and most recently was the transportation director for a district in South Bend, Indiana.

Both administrators will make about $95,000 a year, said D-49 Chief Business Officer Brett Ridgway.
