Last Friday, the Dolores School District entered into mediation, a step that the school board and the superintendent hope will resolve issues that have plagued the school and bogged down school board meetings for over six months.<\/p>\n
Superintendent Scott Cooper reported that the district and the mediator met with a total of eight parents and covered five topics, but that there were more to meet with next week.<\/p>\n
Mediation is when a third party is brought in the resolve conflicts between parties and bring on resolutions.<\/p>\n
Cooper told the Board of Education Tuesday night that the mediations are producing \u201csuccess stories.\u201d<\/p>\n
A full report of the mediation plan was expected to be presented to the board at the April 23 meeting, but because Cooper has a meeting with the BEST board that week, the meeting was changed to April 30, during which the full mediation report should be available, Cooper said.<\/p>\n
Trustee Jon Kelly voiced some frustration about extending the meeting out one more week.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy concern is we are expecting a report back from the mediator and I think we need to have this conversation sooner rather than later,\u201d Kelly said.<\/p>\n
But Cooper said he had to meet with the BEST board next week to discuss the overages of the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
