At the March 8^th, 2011 , regular school board meeting Geoffrey Greene, Citrus County Property Appraiser , presented a Special Budget Workshop to the school board on the current property value trends for the nation, our state, and Citrus county.

BRPH presented an updated overview of the Crystal River High School Phase II design documents. This next phase will include the development of the freshmen academy, new media center (library), business school, parent & bus pickup/drop-off, cafeteria renovation and more. It will also tie the current new construction phase of science labs, classrooms and administrative buildings to the campus.

Carol Mainor, Director of Elementary Education , gave an excellent presentation of the new K-5^th grade writing curriculum for Citrus Schools. This new curriculum provides district wide schedule pacing charts, terminology, strategies and lessons that correlate back to the Sunshine State Standards.

Mark Klauder, Director of Secondary Education gave an overview presentation for board and asked for approval of the new 2010-2011 Science textbook adoption for K-12^th grades. Mr. Klauder shared how the text books being purchased often in many cases come with a multi-media and/or internet component so that students and families have access to these additional resources via a personal computer, laptop, iPhone, iPad or tablet devices .

Our next meeting is a School Board Workshop on March 29^th, 2011.
