School Board Meeting Recap 10/26/2010
Posted on October 27th, 2010 by Thomas Kennedy
Tuesday October 26th, 2010 was a Special Meeting and Workshop for Citrus County School Board. Clancy J. Mullen of Duncan Associates (DA) presented and the Board voted to accept the education impact fee study submitted by DA and hired by the Citrus County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). The Study will be presented to the BOCC at a later date. The report generally showed a reduction in local building costs which would result in a slightly lower proposed School Impact Fee schedule then the previous 2007 fee schedule. At the last school impact fee adoption the BOCC adopted the school impact fees at 50% of the proposed amount.
The Board also heard a proposal by a Principals Committee made up of elementary, middle and high school principals about using funding from the federal jobs bill to hire three aides for all traditional schools. The school district has $3.2 million available through the jobs bill with hopes of receiving the funds again next year but there is no guarantee that the bill will be available after that.
Citrus County Schools Assistant Superintendent Mary Curry presided over the State of the District, Part II report which covered Gifted (a.k.a. Reached), Horizon, Plato, Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) and Penn Foster. In addition, Ms. Curry updated the Board with feedback comments she just received from the Department of Education on Florida’s Race to the Top.
Next Regular Board Meeting is November 9th, 2010 at 3:00pm.

Baynews9: CRMS students learn about the environment — from high schoolers
Posted on October 27th, 2010 by Thomas Kennedy
Video Stories
CRYSTAL RIVER — A program in Citrus County is getting middle school students out on the water to learn how to protect the environment, but there’s a catch – other students are doing the teaching.
Elisabeth Veal is a junior at the Academy of Environmental Science in Citrus County, but when she’s out on the water, she’s the teacher.
Veal and some of her fellow high schoolers are teaching a group of middle schoolers about the human impact on water quality.
“It’s good that we get the chance to tell them what they are doing so they can help make a difference,” said Veal.
The students use scientific equipment to do their research, like the Turbidimeter and Nansen Bottle. They also take part in a few different workshops that take place out in the field and in the classroom.
