Update on possible crosswalk/sidewalk at Pine View and Sarasota High - Scott Lempe

Dr. Bowden gave an update on preparations for Hurricane Irma. All extra-curricular and athletic events have been cancelled for Friday night.  We are working closely with county emergency management and will communicate with parents via Facebook, Twitter, Connect-Ed messages, Education Channel, and our webpage any decisions on school closings.

Dr. Bowden stated that he plans to track data on chronic absenteeism and out of school suspensions. He will share this information with Board Members throughout the year.

Every year a Roberto Clemente Award is presented to 30 major league baseball players who best represent the game through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions on the field, both on and off the field.  Dr. Bowden was pleased to announce that two players from Sarasota High School were among the 2017 nominees: Scooter Gennet of the Cincinnati Reds and Ian Desmond of the Colorado Rockies.

Dr. Bowden also mentioned that he will be giving a "State of the Schools" address at the Argus Foundation luncheon on September 13, 2017.
