After months of debate, discussion and public input, the Flagler County School Board will cast its final vote on a mandatory districtwide uniforms policy Tuesday night, Jan. 17.
If instated, the policy, proposed by School Board member John Fischer, would go into effect in the 2012-2013 school year.
Also included on the board’s agenda is a request from Superintendent Janet Valentine to close Heritage Academy. The charter school, which received a school grade of an F the past two years, was notified of the superintendent’s termination intentions in a Jan. 6 letter.
“As you are aware, a school is labeled as ‘failing’ if it has received two failing grades within a four-year period,” Valentine wrote to Heritage Principal Nicole Richards. “The purpose of this correspondence is to notify you of my intention to recommend the School Board of Flagler County take action … to begin the 90-day termination process.”
The board will convene 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 17, for a one-hour workshop preceding the 6 p.m. meeting.
