Meetings, meetings and more meetings!

The RUSD board is again having a special meeting tonight, followed by a work session that will discuss the recent Special Education Study. It certainly seems like the board is working hard, at least if you look at the number of times they have been meeting lately. Let's hope these meetings are fruitful!

The special meeting will commence at 5:30PM and will adjourn to Executive Session to update the board members of the renegotiations of the PBCG contract. As many of you are aware, PBCG was hired by the district to oversee the business operations of the district, and were the focus of the recent audit done by Reinhart-Boerner, a Milwaukee legal firm. The board has trying to negotiate a settlement with PBCG since the initial results of the audit have been made public.

I only hope that a settlement is soon to come, and it is one that public can accept. The board needs to regain the trust of the citizens of eastern Racine County in a very big way.

I wonder how many board members will stay for the meeting since attendance is not mandatory? I hope our special education graduation rate (with diploma) of 41.51% compared to the State average of 81.42% is addressed. The taxpayers should be concerned, so any reform efforts should be wonderful.

I'm sure all the board members will stay for the meeting - they have been waiting for this information for a long time.
