Education News For the Rock Hill Community

To provide information on issues affecting the Rock Hill School District and an opportunity for feedback and sharing of ideas. Comments are not official communications of the Rock Hill Schools or District Trustees. "Real student engagement is not about keeping students happy, boosting their self-esteem, or convincing them that what they are learning is relevant; it is about acquiring new knowledge and skills and pursuing the activities that contribute to that attainment."

Rock Hill Schools Work Session Notes

These are my notes from the Rock Hill School Board May Work Session:

Finley Road Elementary School made a presentation to the board. Most of the presentation was delivered by the Finley Road Morning News Team (four 5th graders). They did an excellent job!
The board heard a report on the fund balance and handed out a proposal to take 2 to 2 million dollars from the fund balance. Each board member stated how much they felt should come out of the fund and the chair asked the superintendent to take that information under advisement and come back with a recommendation.
The board was presented a "revised" Student Insurance Policy (JLA) and recommended no changes.
The board was given a list of textbooks for adoption by the board at the May business meeting. There were no recommended changes.
The board completed an online self-assessment. The information will be compiled and be used for the basis of a board retreat in July.
The board went into executive session to discuss negotiations with the City of Rock Hill and the process for evaluating the superintendent this year.
