The board received several informational updates at its Aug. 20 meeting. Eldon Palmer, identified in the minutes as CVA Principal, presented the CVA Annual Review and Report and highlighted enrollment figures, including enrollment in Kettle Falls.
VELC Director Candace Harris and Superintendent Dr. Mandi Rehn updated the board on VELC building construction. The minutes state that tree removal at the site has been completed and that footings for the building are anticipated in October.
In communications, Dr. Rehn noted that Katherine Blair, the district’s Special Services Director, will begin a superintendent internship with Dr. Rehn and has enrolled in a four‑year superintendent program. Dr. Rehn also said she is looking into a solar power grant for rural community schools. The minutes use an apostrophe after "Burrow" that appears to be a transcription artifact; the minutes do not provide additional context about that meeting or the grant status.
Policies 3210 (Nondiscrimination) and revised 5010 (Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action) were presented for a first reading and will return for action next month.
