Following a 6:30 p.m. closed meeting to consider personnel and pupil issues, the Morongo Unified School District Board of Education will ratify the 2014 graduates of the three District high schools as the first item on the action agenda at its 7 p.m. open session on August 19. Following that is approval of the consolidated application for categorical funding from the state, and of a contract for Deborah Turner as Interim Assistant Superintendent for Instructional Services. Next, the Board will acknowledge projects placed on the “Applications Received Beyond Bond Authority List.” The long-running $6 million+ construction projects at Twentynine Palms High School will see a notice of completion and two unusual change orders: a $75,000 reduction, and a 70-day no-cost extension. Finally, a U.S. history book will be considered for further review. The Board meets at Joshua Tree Elementary School.
