Business services consent items include approving a student meal services agreement between Redlands Unified School District and Bear Valley Unified School District; approving students from Arroyo Verde Elementary School to attend Cedar Crest Outdoor Science School in the San Bernardino Mountains, at the invitation of the Orange County Department of Education; and approving the parent organization/booster club application of the Citrus Valley Soccer Boosters at Citrus Valley High School.

The sole item on the business services action agenda is authorizing staff to revise the Adopted Annual Budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year. At the Redlands Unified School District’s special board meeting on July 20, the board approved the restoration of two furlough days and two staff development days for the fiscal year, thus the adopted budget must be revised to increase the increase in revenues and expenses.

Educational services consent items focus on several excursions for district students, including approving 33 Chamber Singers and 45 Les Chanteuses members from Redlands High School to travel by bus to a retreat in Angelus Oak this month; approving 17 members of Redlands High School’s Masquers Theater Arts Group to travel to Big Bear this month; approving the Chamber Singers to travel to a competition at New York City’s Carnegie Hall in March of 2012; and approving the members of Les Chanteuses to travel to a national competition in San Antonio, Texas in late March of 2012.
