LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council took the following action at its Nov. 14 meeting: • Presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence to Capt. Wayne Wegener. Wegener was also recognized for receiving the 40 under 40 Award from the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The award recognizes those who demonstrate leadership and commitment to their profession. • Administered the oath of police service to police officer Ashley Albindia. Albindia started with the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department in May and completed her training in October. • Appointed Redpath and Company as the accounting firm to perform accounting services for the city in 2016-2018. The council discussed the possibility of changing accounting firms at its work session Nov. 7. The average cost for accounting services from Redpath and Company for 2016, 2017 and 2018 is around $33,000. The city had previously contracted with Clifton Larson Allen LLP. • Approved the first reading of an ordinance establishing the 2017 city fee schedule. The fees were adjusted to account for inflationary increases and the changes include building permits, escrow deposits, land use and development fees. • Approved the first reading of an ordinance that amends chapters 211,212 and 217 of the city code of ordinances relating to advisory commissions. Previously, Councilman Rob Rafferty requested the council consider increasing advisory board stipends by $25 per meeting since they had not been adjusted for many years. Previously, board members serving on the planning and zoning board, environmental board and park board received a maximum quarterly stipend
CIRCLE PINES CITY COUNCIL NOTES

Centennial Lakes Police Department (CLPD) Sgt. Bill Jacobson accepts a donation from Jim Woodruff on behalf of Tribute to the Troops of Minnesota at the Circle Pines City Council meeting Wednesday, Nov. 9. The donation will be used to purchase a new automated external defibrillator (AED). Tribute to the Troops of Minnesota performs charity work for Minnesota's soldiers and police officers. “We are extremely grateful for their support,” CLPD wrote in a Facebook post.
The Circle Pines City Council took the following action at is Nov. 9 meeting: • Heard from Councilman Mike Schweigert, who told the council that he received feedback from a resident who lives on West Road, where the council agreed to add “no parking” signs to keep high school students from parking in front of the residences. The resident informed Schweigert that although the signs did work for them, the students have started parking farther down the street. Mayor Dave Bartholomay said he would have a conversation with Superintendent Brian Dietz to learn more about how many parking spaces were added over the summer during construction and how many parking permits were given out to students for the 2016-17 school year. • Heard from Bartholomay, who thanked all of the people who helped out with elections this year. • Approved the consent agenda, including fire disbursements, police disbursements and licenses. • Heard a presentation from Jim Woodruff about the Patriot Ride. This year's event had 4,200 bikes compared to last year's 3,300. Next year's event will be July 8. Woodruff presented a donation of $300 to the Centennial Lakes Police Department. Sgt. Bill Jacobson said the department would use the donation to help purchase a new automated external defibrillator (AED). “AED's are one of the most important lifesaving tools we carry,” Jacobson said. “I honestly hope that next year we will be able to give a even bigger donation, because I know it takes a tremendous amount of work and people to make sure that this thing (Patriot Ride) goes the way it does,” Woodruff said.
of $150 ($50 per meeting) and the chair of each board received a quarterly stipend of $225 ($75 per meeting.) The amendment calls for increasing the maximum quarterly stipends to $225 and $300. “A lot of the efforts by the members of these boards are unseen. The time that they put in is really valuable. They do make our job easier with all of the work that they do, and this is an excellent thing to have in place for that,” Rafferty said. • Approved a conditional use permit and site plan review for the Lino Lakes Elementary School renovation. The proposed renovation will create four additional classrooms, a large gathering space at the front/south side of the building and an outdoor classroom on the west side of the building. The renovation also includes a major HVAC renovation throughout the 1960 and 1975 portions of the building, a stormwater collection system including underground piping from the building and parking areas toward a new infiltration basin, and a designed aesthetic and physical space to reflect the school's science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) focus. • Approved a variance for 1558 Meadowview Court for a porch addition and deck. Jason Hempel of J. Hempel Services LLC is constructing a screened porch and deck for the property owner. However, the addition encroaches 1.30 feet (15.5 inches) into the required rear yard setback. The planning and zoning board didn't have any concerns granting the variance and the neighbors of the property also had no issue with the variance being granted. • Rejected bids for the 2016 surface water maintenance project. This year's project included 15 sites with a project budget of $125,000. After six different bids were received, city staff recommended rejecting the bids because they exceeded the city's budget for the project. City staff will prioritize the projects and rebid the project with fewer sites to stay within the budget. • Approved a Minnesota Department of Health grant agreement. The city adopted a wellhead protection plan in which the goal is to manage potential contaminant sources and to reduce potential contaminant pathways to the groundwater aquifer. Lino Lakes received a grant in the amount of $8,500 to help offset the costs of implementation of the plan. • Approved a joint powers agreement (JPA) with Blaine for street lighting for the newly constructed roundabout at Sunset Avenue and 109th Avenue/ Apollo Drive. Blaine will take responsibility for the lighting contract with Xcel Energy. Under the JPA, Blaine will receive and pay the monthly utility energy bills and invoice Lino Lakes annually for its share of the costs (the energy cost will be split in half between the cities). Maintenance costs for street lights within the roundabout will be split in half and each city is responsible for maintenance cost of lights within its jurisdiction. • Declared its intent to reimburse the Black Duck Drive/Aqua Lane trunk water main project from bond proceeds. The estimated project cost is $1,420,000. The project will be financed by the issuance of general obligation water utility revenue bonds. The sale was awarded on Oct. 24. The Internal Revenue Code requires cities to declare their intent to reimburse project costs prior to the receipt of bond proceeds. The council discussed the following at its special budget work session immediately after the regular meeting: • The traffic safety grant position. The item was first discussed by the council at the work session on Nov. 7. In January 2015, the council approved a resolution accepting a traffic safety grant from the Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety; the grant is renewable for up to four years. The primary goal of the grant is to enhance safety on community roads and freeways. The grant reimburses the city for expenses related to salary and benefits for one officer, court-related overtime and attendance to the Toward Zero Deaths conference. Councilwoman Melissa Maher said, “ I love it. I'm strongly in favor of keeping it. I think it makes our community safer.” Councilman Bill Kusterman said “It's fine with me. The laws are there to be enforced and be fol-
lowed. If people are being pulled over, my hope is that it is for a good cause.” Councilman Michael Manthey said he saw value in the achieving compliance through education (ACE) program. Mayor Jeff Reinert wanted to know what the threshold for having the traffic safety position was. It was discussed that the threshold should be $65,000 in ACE program revenue. So if revenue were to dip below that point, the part-time community service officer position would no longer be needed to assist with the program. According to the third-quarter report, the program generated $64,629 in revenue for 2016. Ultimately, the the consensus was to keep the position for now and put it on a future council agenda. After the meeting, it was determined that the council had previously set a threshold for the program based on the number of people participating in the program rather than on generated revenue. The council will have to decide which threshold to follow in the future. • The DEA task force officer position. The item was first discussed at the quarterly public safety meeting on Oct. 10 and brought up again at the Nov. 7 work session. Reinert's position at the time was to eliminate Lino Lakes participation in the task force and let another city step up to the plate. Manthey said, “With everything I hear in the news with drugs, I appreciate that we have this person in our community with a direct connection. There are drugs in Lino Lakes and we need someone to oversee it.” Councilman Bill Kusterman said he was in favor of keeping the position and didn't support cutting it. “I think it makes sense. It is reasonable and works out to be about $20 a home, that doesn't seem like a lot to me. The more we cut, we become reactive and not proactive. The truth is there is a correlation between lack of law enforcement and high crime rates.” Maher was also in support of keeping the position. Ultimately, the council decided that Lino Lakes would keep an officer on the task force. • Replacement schedule of public safety vehicles. Previously, the council discussed whether public safety vehicles should be on a three- or four-year rotation for replacement. Members also discussed what criteria should be taken into consideration when determining if a vehicle needs to be replaced. Councilman Rob Rafferty suggested that vehicles shouldn't be replaced until they have over 90,000 miles and suggested implementing a five-year replacement schedule. The next regular council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 28 in the Council Chambers at City Hall. There will be a council work session immediately before the regular meeting at 6 p.m. in the Community Room at City Hall. Shannon Granholm

E WERE IN Franklin, Tennessee for a newspaper convention in September. Franklin was established as a city in 1799 and has a great deal of Civil War history. The Nashville suburban city is the 14th fastest growing county in the U.S. and that’s very evident by traffic jams. In the old part of the city, Puckett’s Restaurant has been around since 1799. It is a great place for southern cooking and country music in the evenings. If you are heading south by car this winter, and your destination is somewhere around Florida, I have another couple of restaurants that are favorites, including recent discoveries. In the Paducah, Kentucky area we About the love Patti’s 1880 at Grand Rivers. It is Town three miles south of I-24. It is highly rated for the two-inch pork chop and Gene Johnson spinach salad with hot bacon dressing. We have enjoyed going there for 30 years. On our recent trip to Tennessee, we found the Rare Chop House in downtown Mount Vernon, Illinois in what looked to be an old warehouse building. If timing allows, the Firefly Grill in Effingham, Illinois serves delicious food in a very contemporary atmosphere. This one wasn’t recommended by the motel; we found it wandering around the city. I PICKED UP a little handout recently that points to our tongue which reveals the true feelings of our heart. Test yourself based on Psalm 141:3: “Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.” Harsh words……….Angry heart Negative words……….Fearful heart Talk a lot……….Unsettled heart Critical words……….Bitter heart Filthy words……….Impure heart Boasting words……….Insecure heart Encouraging words……….Happy heart Gentle words……….Tender heart Kind words……….Loving heart Truthful speech……….Honest heart SEASONS ARE QUICKLY changing, Thanksgiving is before us and in a short while it will be Christmas. Snow is usually with us by Thanksgiving, winter sports are in full gear, and with all the moisture that has been cycling this summer, we could have a heavy snowfall this winter. Four-wheel drive cars are ever more popular. The trends for hybrid and electric cars are coming along faster than ever. OUR OLDEST DAUGHTER Julie and her husband Craig and family live for golf. Our granddaughter Meredith is a golf pro in Palm Desert, California so she and her sister Lindsay went through college on golf scholarships. Their brother Blake is a scratch golfer. Grandpa got to go to the Ryder Cup one day with them. It was probably a once in a lifetime event. I asked them for some quotes on their observation of the 41st Ryder Cup at Hazeltine at which time the U.S. regained the championship. Here’s what they had to say: “It’s the only time in sports where you can sit in front of a jumbotron and feel like you are right in the action.” “History was made today.” “Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia played the highest quality of golf in the history of the Ryder Cup at a combined 17 under.” “Once in a lifetime experience.” “The Ryder Cup was such a positive event which proves that the Twin Cities should have a regular PGA tour event!” “The Ryder Cup was incredibly lucky with the weather when you’re rolling the dice to host such a big event in early October!” “It was ironic to see Bubba Watson and Tiger Woods on the course and not playing on the team.” Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.
Education key to more thoughtful transportation system
A
baffling aspect of our ever-changing transportation system is the limited amount of formal education its users receive. Once someone gets their driver’s license there is no mandatory ongoing education requirement for the majority of drivers who use our roads, yet we routinely encounter new users and have to quickly interpret new paint patterns and signs driving. Movers & while I’m surprised law enforcement Shakers hasn’t picked up Michael Brooks on this. Education is the soft side of enforcement and their participation in ongoing educational classes would give them another community touch point with people of every age, color and nationality across the country. Keeping up on rights and responsibilities, whether you are a motorized or non-motorized driver, that is, whether you drive a car or drive a bicycle or even a horse-drawn cart on Minnesota roads, is key to ensure we know how to interact with each other in those situations where we might rely on what we think is the law. Below are two local examples where rights and responsibilities were assumed. One involves a guy in a truck and the other a po-
lice officer. Both involve Sunday mornings and a certified bicycle safety instructor: me. Clear sunny Sunday in late September. I am riding my bicycle south on U.S. Highway 61 in the right lane. My lights are on and I am wearing bright clothing. At Shady Lane a person driving a pick-up truck rushes up behind me. He gets within a foot or two of my back wheel and then quickly passes (buzzes) me on the left. Neither of these two behaviors is news to anyone who rides a bike on our area roads. What does stand out is how close he passes me. If I had extended my left arm when he was next to me, half of it would have been inside his car. How he did not knock my mirror off I still don’t know. He yells something out his passenger window, cuts in front of me and speeds down the road. Message sent. Get outta that seat Rosa Parks. Bikes do not belong on Minnesota roads. On the very next Sunday, at virtually the same place and time, a local police car rushes up on my left, though at a much safer distance. Passenger window down, the officer calmly tells me I cannot ride my bicycle on the highway because it is not legal. We pull over and talk. We exchange information. The officer believes there’s a statute that clearly says bicycles are not allowed on State Highways like U.S. Highway 61. We connect later and he corrects himself. I asked

him if he could remember where he learned or read that bicycles could not be ridden on State Highways like U.S. Highway 61, but he could not pinpoint where, or why he thought that was the law. Each situation involves two different people using the same road. One is trained to enforce traffic laws. The other created his own law while disregarding another driver’s safety. Giving you the license plate number of his truck or the officer’s name will not change how each reacted to my bicycle’s presence on U.S. Highway 61. They were both misinformed. The U.S. Highway 61 corridor through town was designed by engineers for cars to travel quickly and safely through White Bear Lake. But, believe it or not, U.S. Highway 61 is on all of MnDOT’s state and regional maps as a designated bicycle route and has been for decades. While we work to fit two quarts into our one-quart transportation infrastructure, let’s invest and make sure everyone understand how to use the transportation system we have. Broadening the minds of all users gets us a better return on investment on our transportation dollar because we plant the seeds of tolerance that welcomes all levels of ability, age and speed to use Minnesota roads.

Your legal rights: Paying with “plastic�
W
hen you pay for services or merchandise with “plastic� (credit or debit cards), you have certain legal rights if your card is lost or stolen, if unauthorized charges are made to your card, or if you are charged for goods or services that were never delivered to you or were damaged or defective on delivery. CREDIT CARDS Lost or stolen cards. A federal law called the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) says that if you report a credit card lost or stolen before it is used, you cannot be held responsible for any unauthorized charges. If someone steals your physical card—not just the number—and uses it before you report the card stolen, you are only liable for $50 of unauthorized charges. If a thief just steals the number, you are not liable for any unauthorized use. Undelivered and defective merchandise or services. If a product that you paid for by credit card is
never delivered, damaged or defective, or if your credit card statement contains other errors, you may be able to dispute the charges with your credit card company. If you are unable to resolve the problem with the merchant or service provider, send a written complaint to your credit card company at the address it provides for “billing inquiries� within 60 days of reMovers & ceiving your statement containing the error. Shakers Be sure to include Lori Swanson your name, address, account number, and a description of your concerns in your written complaint. Your credit card company must then resolve the dispute within 90 days of receiving your complaint. DEBIT CARDS Lost or stolen cards. Under the federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act
your liability depends on how quickly you report the lost or stolen card. If you report a lost or stolen card: • before the card is used fraudulently, you’re not responsible for any unauthorized charges; • within two business days, you are responsible for no more than $50; • after two business days, you may be responsible for as much as $500; • more than 60 days after receiving a statement that reects the unauthorized use, you may face unlimited liability. If a thief just steals your debit card number, you are not liable for any unauthorized charges if you make a report within 60 days after receiving a statement that reects the unauthorized use. Unsatisfactory merchandise or services. If you purchase unsatisfactory goods or services with a debit card, you usually don’t have the right to stop payment or dispute the charge. In this case, using a debit card is just like paying with cash. Your ďŹ nancial
institution may offer greater protections than those required by federal law. Other tips: • Keep your ďŹ nancial institution’s contact information some place safe. There’s often a 24-hour, toll-free number on the back of your card and your card statements to call if your card is ever lost/stolen. • Contact the credit bureaus and check your credit reports to ensure that no other ďŹ nancial fraud or identity theft occurred. You may want to place a freeze on your credit report, which prevents thieves from accessing your credit history and obtaining credit cards or loans in your name. • Send written notice of a lost or stolen card to the ďŹ nancial institution in addition to calling. Lori Swanson is Minnesota’s attorney general. For more information or to ďŹ le a complaint, please call the Minnesota Attorney General’s OfďŹ ce at 1-800-6573787 or (651) 296-3533.

The Centennial girls swimming team capped a banner season with five members competing at the state meet last weekend. The Cougars won their
fifth straight Northwest Suburban Conference championship and their second straight Section 7AA crown. This was a “next man up” year, said coach Chip Fechter, after the Cougars placed seventh at state in 2015, their best showing ever, and graduated
Three Cougars named to Wells Fargo All-Tournament Team demonstrate exceptional sportsmanship, team commitment, athletic ability and leadership during the state high school tournaments. Athletes are selected to the Wells Fargo All-Tournament Team by a panel of coaches attending the tournament. Sixteen awards are presented in Class AA Girls’ Soccer. Wells Fargo is the premier corporate sponsor of the MSHSL. This sponsorship helps offset the costs associated with
tournaments and fine arts events for Minnesota students. It also supports programs such as the MSHSL High School Hall of Fame, along with the ExCEL (Excellence in Community, Education and Leadership) Program, a recognition program designed for Minnesota high school juniors who are active in school activities, show leadership qualities and work voluntarily in their community.

PAMPERED PAWS: Making pets look their best for the holiday season FROM PAGE 1
Lexington Ave. in Shoreview. The business is unique in that customers are able to drop their pets off to be groomed by accredited groomers, or they can stay and wash their dog in their facility using You Dirty Dog's bathtubs, products and dryers. “We supply everything. For self-service we supply shampoo, conditioner, ear wipes, toothbrushes, towels, high velocity dryers. You leave the mess and we clean it up; everything stays here,” said owner Andy Hulcher. The business opened in 2012 after Hulcher heard that grooming pets more often could help alleviate some symptoms of people who have animal allergies. “My kids talked us into it, and the rest is history,” he said. Originally Hulcher thought 90 percent of business would be the self-service, but it has turned out to be half self-service and half grooming. The business has four groomers and 10 part-time employees, mostly who are in high school or college. “We try to be a mentoring place for high school kids to work on the self-service side. They can learn all about customer service. It's a dirty job,” Hulcher said. “It is fun from my perspective to see the passion that people have for their animals.” The business serves all dogs including small ones, large ones, hunting dogs and show dogs. Despite the name, the business also serves cats. Kristina, one of the groomers, said, “I love seeing the transformation. We get to see a dog come in here all filthy and scruffy and leave happy.” Hulcher stressed, “We are not a big box groomer like Petco or PetSmart, so we can give more personalized service to each of the dogs and not overbook the dogs.” The business is open Monday through Thursday 1 to 7 p.m. and Friday through Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. However, the groomers will take appointments outside of the self-service business hours. For more information, visit You Dirty Dog's website at http://www. youdirtydogmn.com or You Dirty Dog MN on Facebook. Michele's Paw Spa Michele's Paw Spa is located at 1885 Main St. in Centerville and 2900 Rice St., suite 260 in Little Canada. Michele Whitney has owned the business for seven years and has been a groomer for 23 years. She said she became interested in the business after she “had pets at home that needed grooming and I enjoyed grooming them. I just thought there was a need for it in the industry.” The Centerville location has five groomers and the Little Canada location has three groomers. Whitney opened up the Little Canada location last January because the other location was doing so well. “I enjoy the happiness of the dog when it comes in all dirty and matted and leaves all happy and it had a good experience here,” Whitney said. The business serves both dogs and cats and does baths, clipper and scissor work, ear cleaning and nail trims. Michele's Paw Spa also offers various spa packages such

as the pawsitively divine comfort, the tail wagger refresh, the pampered pooch renew and royal s-paw indulge. “It is amazing what they can transform into and how you can help them. Not just with grooming, but sometimes it can become a medical condition and you can make them feel a lot better. It is not just about looks all the time,” said groomer Jocylynn Cabrera. “We are small enough that we don't do a mass production of dogs, so they really get one-on-one time and we go slow with them.” Whitney said the customers need to trust the groomers. “We have your dog's best interests at heart. Sometimes, if we want to go shorter it is not that we are being lazy or that we don't want to take the time to de-mat a dog, but it will hurt your dog if we try to brush and detangle all of the mats. So if we say we want to go shorter, it is for your dog's comfort,” Cabrera said. Groomer Miranda Moravec said the dogs are her favorite part of the job. Before the grooming business, she worked in the hair industry. “Dogs are a lot nicer than people,” she said. The business is open Monday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit the website at http://www. michelespawspa.com/ or Michele's Paw Spa on Facebook.

programs suggested at that meeting. Minear said the members don’t need to attend the meeting to vote. During the meeting, the fi rst option was to fund innovative learning seat options in Erin Chapman’s fourth-grade class at Rice Lake Elementary School. Chapman requested $400 to pay for equipment such as wobble chairs, standing desks or stadium seats that will help students feel more comfortable and minimize distractions in the classroom. The second option was for a creativity festival, where teachers in grades 3-5 from each of the elementary schools in the district could select two students from their class to participate. The grant requested $850 to cover artist time and supplies. This option was also proposed at the last meeting.
With 14 members voting, Rice Lake Elementary received the majority of votes (nine) and will receive $400 to buy new seating options for students. The group decided to consider funding the second option as well, but some members had concerns about transportation logistics and feasibility related to the scale of the festival. The group wanted to address those issues before funding the project. If money is left over, it will be saved for the group's next meeting in May. The Power of Centennial is currently looking for new members and new funding ideas. For more information about the group or how to become a member, contact Amy Minear at amyminear@gmail.com.

I want to say a special thanks to anyone who has agreed to be a part of this; taking two days off of work is a large commitment for everybody,â€? he said. The board will learn more about the goals that were decided on at the December board meeting. Dietz added he was pleased to hear positive feedback while walking through the high school west building recently during a basketball tournament. “I will tell you, walking through and hearing students and parents rave about how the building is set up, the feel overall, you had to walk away smiling. To hear the comments of 'Boy, I wish our high school had this' just left you with a good taste in your mouth and lets you know that we are doing things right here,â€? he said. • Approved the consent agenda, including the approval of the Oct. 24 board meeting minutes, monthly bills, personnel, field trips, gifts to the district and the appointing of a materials review committee. • Approved a resolution canvassing returns of votes of the school district general election. There were 26,113
voters. The three newly elected school board members, who will serve four-year terms, include Christina Wilson, Ray Culp and Chris Bettinger. The board also approved a resolution authorizing the issuance of certificates of the election and directing the school district clerk to perform other election-related duties. • Heard from Director of Curriculum and Instruction Caleb Drexler Booth, who told the board about the 2015-2016 world's best workforce report summary. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes section 120B.11, a school board, at a public meeting, shall adopt a comprehensive, long-term strategic plan to support and improve teaching and learning that is aligned with creating the world's best workforce. The school board must publish an annual report on the previous year’s plan and hold an annual public meeting to review goals, outcomes and strategies. One of the district's goals was to ensure that all students were ready for kindergarten. The specific goal was that children participating in preschool, who are eligible to attend kindergarten by Sept. 1, 2016, would increase their skills in the area of literacy. Specifically, final data would show an increase of 11.3 percent average growth from fall 2015 to spring 2016 for picture naming and letter sounds. The goal was met, as picture naming increased by 19.9 percent and letter sounds by 14.4 percent. Another goal was that all students in third grade would achieve grade-level literacy. Specifically, the percent of third-grade students reaching grade-level proficiency on the MCA-reading assessment would increase from 70.8 to 72.8 by spring 2016. The goal was not met, as 69.8 percent of third-grade students met grade-level proficiency. Another goal was to close the achievement gap among
all groups. The goal was not met; however, the Asian subgroup 2016 math and reading results increased from the previous year as well as the Black subgroup 2016 reading results. Another goal was to have all students career- and college-ready by graduation. Specifically, the average composite score of 11th grade students taking the ACT would increase from 23.8 percent in 2015 to 24 percent in 2016 and the percent of advanced placement exams resulting in score of 3 or higher would increase from 68.5 percent to 70 percent. The goal was not met, as the 2016 ACT composite score was 22.9 percent and 68.1 percent of AP exams resulted in a score of 3 or higher. The last goal was to have all students graduate. Specifically, the four-year graduation rate would increase from 93.2 percent in 2014 to 95 percent in 2015 and that the five-year graduation rate would increase from 95 percent to 96.5 percent. The goal was not met, as the four-year graduation rate for 2015 was 91.9 percent and the five-year graduation rate was 94.2 percent. Even though the district did not meet most of the goals set in the report, Booth mentioned Centennial continues to significantly outperform the state average for both MCA and ACT scores and Centennial's racebased subgroups outperform their peers, meaning the achievement gap is less significant at Centennial when compared to the state as a whole. The next work session will be at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 5 and the next regular board meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 19. Shannon Granholm
