Below is Dr. Bartleson's "From my Perspective" summary of this morning's special session of the school board. Please let me know if you have any questions. -Steve Kranz, Board Member -Winona Area Public Schools -------------------------- Board Meeting Highlights Board Meeting 10.09.03 from my perspective.... Eric Bartleson 8:15 a.m. SPECIAL BOARD MEETING The school board met in a Special Session this morning to consider a proposed change to the district's Weapon Policy. The request to revise the policy came from board member Fred Petersen in order to accommodate a "Firearms Safety Class' that was being offered this weekend at the Winona Middle School. The specific revision considered was to allow participants in the class to bring their personal firearms to the class. Board members that were present at the meeting were; Steve Kranz, Fred Petersen, Natalie Siderius, Laber, and Susan Brown. Also at the meeting were members of the media and Scott Sabotta one of the instructors of the Firearm Safety class. After considerable discussion it was decided that the current policy be followed that would not allow participants in the class to bring their own firearms to the class. Provisions will be made to get this message out in the media. Also, instructors from the class and some school personnel will be present at the first class (October 11) to assure that the present policy is enforced. The meeting adjourned at 9:10 a.m. Next Meeting: October 16 5:30 p.m. Closed Session for Negotiations Strategy 6:00 p.m. Regular Board Meeting _______________________________________________ This message was posted to Winona Online Democracy All messages must be signed by the senders actual name.
