MATTERS OF COUNCIL INTEREST - <br /> <br /> A. Oral Presentation - State of the Union-Sequoia High School District; <br /> (Superintendent JoAnn Smith) <br /> <br /> Superintendent Smith stated that the area served by the District and the students is a <br /> very diverse area that poses both challenges and many causes for celebration. She <br /> stated her happiness in reporting a wonderful working relationship with the Redwood <br /> City Elementary District. The high school district has seen some major policy changes <br /> over the last few years that have changed the face of the school district and have made <br /> them much more effective than in the past. The three major policy changes are: 1.) <br /> Open enrollment - meaning students may attend any high school in the District as long <br /> as there is available space. 2.) The District has an attendance policy - an attendance <br /> policy has been created that has moved fi'om 86% to approximately 93%. 3.) Closed <br /> campus policy - meaning when the students arrive in the morning, they remain on <br /> campus for breaks and lunch, until the end of the school day. <br /> <br /> Superintendent Smith stated that there are four very high quality principals, a strong <br /> board and passage of Measure G contribute to a positive future. She cited various <br /> portions of a booklet that she gave to Council and acknowledged that Keith Bautista of <br /> DES had funded the printing of the booklet. <br /> <br /> B. Council Member Jordan congratulated Mayor Claire and Vice Mayor Ira. <br /> <br /> C. Council Member Howard welcomed Council Member Jordan back from Japan and asked if <br /> she would summarize her trip. <br /> <br />REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 26, 2001 <br />MINUTES PAGE 5 <br />MINUTES Book No. 59 <br /> Page No. 51 <br /> <br /> <br />
