CORBIN — The Corbin Independent Board of Education is prepping for the 2023-2024 academic year, meeting on Thursday for their monthly scheduled meeting. The meeting began by recognizing Liam Rose and Tanner Davis for their work and accomplishments through the Dataseam Registered Apprenticeship.
The certificates of recognition were presented by Brian Gupton, the CEO of Dataseam. The company that provided Davis and Rose with the IT registered Apprenticeship for the summer.
Board members also received a written report on goals in District Comprehensive Improvement Plan (CDIP).
This plan helps teachers clearly know the standards they have and goals for the classroom and helps the student to understand why they are learning the curriculums.
“I like the idea you are asking questions including the ‘why’ because I think if students understand the why, the students will be more susceptive of the lesson and instruction,” Carcille Burchett, Board Vice-Chairperson, said.
When they assess the classroom, they will be pulling students from the classroom and asking why they are learning the material in the classrooms.
In the meeting, the board passed a motion to have the first reading of policies and procedures as discussed by personnel in their yearly retreat. The combined 59 policies and procedures on the agenda were approved for the first reading.
“It’s always a good exercise when we go to the retreat to review the policies and procedures,” Superintendent David Cox said. “I don’t think many people would read them on their own. There’s always a discussion about that some of these procedures really means.”
Board chair Todd Childers chimed in, “Over the years we have caught a few we needed to make changes to.”
Cox agreed.
“You’re right; we had a discussion the other day about AEDs (automatic external defibrillators) and several people at the retreat realized it wasn’t fresh to them,” Cox said. “So we reviewed that.”
