The interpretation and communications from the administration to staff after the Board voted 7-0 to remove the 45 minute extension of the teacher workday are not consistent with the intent of the vote.
Therefore, I requested that DK (LOCAL) be placed on the Thursday, December 13, 2012 Board Briefing Agenda for clarification.
I sent two requests to Board President Lew Blackburn - shown below.
Trustee Blackburn refused to place board policy DK (LOCAL) on the December 13, 2012 Board Briefing Agenda.

Trustee Ranger,
The Board of Trustees addressed policy DK(Local) last month during
the Board Briefing November 8, and adopted your recommended language
change during the Board Meeting November 29. Thus, I am not inclined
to revisit the policy at this time. However, in accordance with board
policy BE(Local), if you are able to solicite two additional trustees
who want to revisit this policy, I will add it to the Board Briefing
agenda in January.
With Regards for Children,
Lew Blackburn, Ph.D.
