Community Comments: Bob Johnson brought up the subject of who is actually liable for the upkeep of the lot that is owned by the school and supposedly leased by the city. The district will ask the city of Oakville for a copy of the lease and set up a time to meet and get a concrete agreement between both entities. Judith Palmer brought a couple of examples from the Tenino school district and an article written in The Chronicle on Oakville School District. Robin Witt wanted to know if all our teachers have a syllabus in place. Kathy Lorton answered not all teachers do at this time. We are at about 90% complete. Mr. Hunt has been working with staff individually since his arrival and will be continuing until 100% complete.
