11.    Driver Education Program; Driver Education Fees; Class credit; Contract for Driver Ed Services - For some time DE has counted as .5 credit on high school students transcripts along with the grade that the student receives.  Years ago Dr. Ed was taught during the school day and then that made sense. Since then the format of the DE program has changed drastically with outside companies teaching DE and students now having to pay for it.  It no longer is logical to have this on their transcript. Mrs. McKenzie is proposing this ceases starting with the class of 2020 (this years’ juniors - to be seniors). The Building Assistance Team is in agreement with this proposal.

Consider increasing the Driver’s Education Fee to $375; The board will consider entering into a contract with Deluxe Driving Academy.
