WORKING WITH YOUR SCHOOL BOARD

WELCOME to another Twin Falls School District Board of Trustees Meeting. You are encouraged to attend all regular

board meetings.

We are proud of our school system and the board members are dedicated to the continued improvement of the Twin Falls

Schools.

We understand that from time to time patrons of school districts have concerns and feel a need to bring those concerns to

the attention of the school or teachers. In order to maintain continuity and best resolve these concerns, we recommend to

our patrons the following procedures:

1. The first and most effective step is to take the concern to the staff member who is closest to the problem. (In

many cases, this will be the teacher, coach, etc.) We have found that most problems are resolved at this level.

2. If there is still a concern on the matter, we then recommend that the concern be brought to the attention of the

Principal. We have found that unresolved concerns from item #1 are usually resolved satisfactorily by the

building administrator.

3. If the concern is not satisfactorily resolved at that level, then the concern should be taken to the Director of

Elementary Programs or Director of Secondary Programs.

4. If the concern is not satisfactorily resolved at that level, then the concern should be taken to the Superintendent of

Schools. Difficult concerns can usually be resolved.

5. However, if the patron still feels the concern has not been properly resolved he/she may use the right of appeal to

the Board of Trustees. This is done by calling or writing to the Superintendent and asking for the item to be

placed on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled board meeting.

6. If you desire to address the board, we would like you to be as comfortable as possible. As a board, we hold public

meetings, which are not public forums and therefore have rules, which are necessary for the benefit of all. The

following guidelines will assist you as you present your information to the board.

A. Prepare your thoughts ahead of time. Usually a brief written outline handed to each board member helps

the board follow your presentation. This outline would also give them something upon which to make

notes as you speak.

B. If a group is involved, select one individual to be your spokesperson. He/she can then guide the

presentation with the board and help the board chair in directing questions to the group.

C. Plan your presentation to be as brief as possible. This should include a question/answer period. If more

time is needed it is best to give a complete written presentation to the board for their future study. If you

give more than five to six minutes of testimony, time restraints will make it difficult for the board to

respond that same evening.

D. Usually the board will direct the administration to help resolve the concerns and ask for a report back to

the board at a later date. However, please remember a solution may take time to be resolved.

We are eager to have our patrons and school staff working together for the improvement of education in the Twin

Falls Schools.

Thank you for coming. Please come again.

Your Board of Trustees

TFSD Swimming Adoption Proposal

At the January 2017 Idaho High School Activities Association board meeting the IHSAA approved swimming as a sanction

sport beginning the fall of 2017.

The Activities Advisory Committee as directed by Superintendent Dr. Wiley Dobbs has been assigned the task of making

a recommendation to the TFSD school board considering this adoption for the TFSD.

During the 2016 "club" swim season there were 29 students (14 at CRHS & 15 at TFHS) that participated in swimming. It

is the belief of the high school activities directors that that number will increase with the IHSAA sanctioning and the

promotion of swimming within the schools.

We are proposing a girls and a boys teams to begin competing in the fall of 2017.

The issues and costs for beginning a swimming program in our district are as follows:

• Facilities - TFSD has a "cooperative use agreement" with the City of TF

o Practice times and sharing a facility is also an issue

• Coaches - a recommendation of 2 coaches be hired at each high school

• Transportation - schedule between 5/6 meets - travel would include 4/5 meets plus district & state

• Equipment - Start up equipment for running a meet and having a swim program

• Collective Cooperative Program - multiple schools competing for 1 school

• Uniforms - team uniforms/spirit pack possibilities

• Working with Club Programs - helpful individuals in the community/Learning curve for both schools & clubs

Dear Dr. Dobbs:

p 208. 733.6900 F 208. 733.6987 www.tfsd.org

In January 2017, Twin Falls School District made available a bid request for fiber optic connectivity from the District Office to South Hills Middle School. After an assessment of the three bids received by the district on February 24, 2017, we would like to propose that the Board of Trustees accept the lowest priced qualifying bid which was received from Tek-Hut. The lease of these fiber connections is contingent upon funding approval by the Federal E-Rate program. The district expects that the E-Rate program will pay 80% of the construction and lease costs.

Total Construction Cost: $182,465 Expected District Discounted Construction Cost: $36,493

before entering the ninth grade, and if that course meets the same standards that are required in

high school and the course is taught by a teacher certified to teach high school content who

meets the federal definition of highly qualified for that course, then the student has met the high

school content area requirement for such course. The student shall be given a grade for the

successful completion of that course and such grade and the number of credit hours assigned to

the course shall be transferred to the student's high school transcript and the student's parent or

guardian shall be notified in advance when credits are going to be transcribed. However, the

student’s parent or guardian may elect to not have the credits and grade transferred to the

student's high school transcript. The student still must complete the required number of credits in

all high school core subjects identified above in addition to the courses completed in middle

school, unless the student is a participant in the 8 in 6 Program.

College Entrance Examination

A student must take one of the following college entrance or placement examinations before the

end of the student’s eleventh grade year: COMPASS, ACT, or SAT.

A student may elect an exemption in their eleventh (11th) grade year from the college entrance

exam requirement if the student is:

1. Enrolled in a special education program and has an Individual Education Plan that

specifies accommodations not allowed for a reportable score on the approved tests;

2. Enrolled in a Limited English Proficient program for three (3) academic years or less;

4. Eligible to take an alternative assessment. In this case the student may instead take the

ACCUPLACER placement exam during their senior year.

A student who misses the statewide administration of the college exam during the student’s

eleventh (11th) grade year may instead take the examination during his or her twelfth (12th) grade

year if the student:

1. Transferred to an Idaho school district during his or her eleventh (11th) grade year;

2. Was homeschooled during his or her eleventh (11th) grade year; or

3. Missed the spring statewide administration of the college entrance exam for a

documented medical reason.

Student Achievement Test (ISAT) as defined by State Board of Education rules in 2017.

Civics Test

Beginning with the class of 2017, all secondary students must successfully pass the civics test or

alternate path. "Civics test" as used herein means the 100 questions used by officers of the

United States citizenship and immigration services as a basis for selecting the questions posed to

applicants for naturalization.

The District will determine the method and manner in which to administer the civics test. A

student may take the civics test, in whole or in part, at any time after enrolling in grade 7 and

may repeat the test as often as necessary to pass the test. The District will document on the

student's transcript that the student has passed the civics test.

The applicability of this requirement for students who receive special education services will be

governed by the student’s Individualized Education Plan.

Waiver of Requirement

Graduation requirements generally will not be waived under any circumstances. However, in

rare and unique hardship circumstances, the Principal may recommend and the Superintendent

may approve minor deviation from the graduation requirements.

Alternative Programs

Credit toward graduation requirements may be granted for planned learning experiences from

accredited programs, such as summer school, university courses, correspondence courses, and

online/virtual courses.

Credit for work experience may be offered when the work program is a part of and supervised by

the school.

All classes attempted at District high schools and all acceptable transfer credits shall be recorded

on the transcript. All grades earned, including failures and retakes, shall be recorded as such and

utilized in the calculation of Grade Point Average and class rank. Credit shall be awarded only

once regardless of repetition of the course.

Class Rank (Grade Point Average)

Class Rank is compiled from semester grades. Courses not eligible for GPA are designated with

an asterisk on the report card.

2700P-7

Early Graduation

Department of Education prior to the completion of eight semesters of school attendance in

grades 9-12 may petition the Superintendent and Board for early graduation by submitting such a

petition to the Superintendent through the building principal. The Superintendent shall submit

the petition to the Board for endorsement and approval at the end of the quarter preceding the

requested graduation date.

The Superintendent is authorized to create any procedures necessary to assist students to achieve

early graduation as well create incentives for participation in any early graduation program.
