New Board Chairs Richard Hinds and Deborah Seelinger swore oath to public office at the Rochester School Board regular meeting on Tuesday, January 8th. They replace board members Breana Bly and Jim Pittenger. Members then voted to reorganize board officers for 2013. Board member Gary Smith was elected Board Chair for 2013; board member Anne Becker was elected Vice Chair; Board member Terry Throndson was elected Board Clerk; Board member Dan O’Neil was elected Treasurer.
Heather Nessler was introduced as the new Director of Communications and Marketing. Previously Nessler worked in communications for Charter Communications.
Superintendent Muñoz commended the staff, both school district and district police, involved in handling the bomb threats and other school emergencies prior to the December holiday break.
“Anytime you have a crisis situation, it is always good to sit back and reflect on how you handled the situation and what could have gone better.”
Muñoz spoke with Mayor Ardele Brede as well as the Rochester police chief to continue collaborations for vigilance over student safety. Muñoz also went to each district middle school and held assemblies to discuss the severity of threats against schools.
“We take that very seriously. It is not the intent, it is what you do. Students that treat [bomb threats] as a joke or a prank need to know that we do not treat it as a prank.”
Last week five students were expelled from Rochester Public Schools, two in particular for having made bomb threats.
The Executive Director of Curriculum Instruction Dr. Jean Lubke introduced several new courses at the high school level for approval. New courses include: industrial engineering robotics, multivariable and vector calculus (duel enrollment course with RCTC, with which students may earn college credit), AP computer science, AP environmental science, human body systems, and American Sign Language. Approved courses will be made available for the 2013-14 school year.
