Parents press board to preserve Minarets ag program and question afterschool vendor change
Summary
During visitors the board heard multiple parents express concern that the Minarets High School agriculture program may be cut and raised objections to discontinuing My Club as the afterschool vendor; principal Daniel Ching also announced the passing of community member Elaine Fink.
During the Visitors portion of the June 17 meeting several parents addressed the board about the Minarets High School Agriculture program, expressing concern that the program was at risk of cuts and seeking assurances from trustees and administrators.
The minutes record that "Several parents were present to speak about the Ag Program at Minarets High School. There were concerns that the program was being cut." Parents also voiced concern about the district's decision not to continue using My Club for the afterschool program. The transcript records no immediate change to the board's votes but indicates the concerns were heard during public comment.
Principal Daniel Ching made a community announcement during visitors: he said that Elaine Fink had passed away and that her Celebration of Life would be on June 20. The board did not take formal action on the Ag program or the vendor decision during the meeting; trustees approved the ELO-P contract with Teaching Fellows in a separate action.
