There was no discussion of either the accountability audit or of the arming of APS Police on the agenda.
I went to listen to the public forum and Matters of Information.
A number of parents spoke at the public forum about the home hospital program for students who have medical problems which keep them from attending school.
The parents were upset that the program is apparently underfunded and cannot provide textbooks or testing space for students. They were also upset that a teacher had been removed from the (already stretched thin) line up and replaced with yet another administrator.
Beth Everitt defended the program and insisted it has her support.
I can find nothing about the program on the district website.

I had an injury at the end of my 8th grade year that required a teacher to come to the hospital. The program existed then in the early 80s when I was about to go into high school.
How about this - NovaNet requires no textbooks per se, although having a written reference is always invaluable to learners. APS already uses NovaNet at alternative schools, "regular" high schools, etc. Get the traveling teacher a mobile wi-fi computer, a power point projector, and you have instant big screen individualized instruction and testing. The teacher can print out the lesson part for the student.
There are other companies beside NovaNet too, but that is one of the popular ones that is used.
