OLD BUSINESS 7. NEW BUSINESS The board endorses the following resolution in support of the Month of the Young Adolescent. 7.1 Whereas, the period of early adolescence (10 to 15 year olds) is a distinct, developmental period between childhood and full adolescence; and Whereas, the period has been little understood nor its importance recognized; and Whereas, youth between the ages of approximately 10 to 15 year olds undergo more extensive physical, mental, social, moral, and emotional changes, with the possible exception of infancy, than at any other time of life; and

Whereas, the attitudes and values young adolescents develop during these formative years largely determine their later behavior; and Whereas, the community itself is also a classroom in which young adolescents learn many lessons; and Whereas, much valuable information and research about this important age group now exists and should be circulated; Therefore, be it resolved that October be declared the Month of the Young Adolescent in Pioneer Central School; and Be it further resolved that all those in Pioneer Central School join the celebration by extending their knowledge about these critical years and undertaking actions that will support the healthy development of young adolescents. 7.2 The superintendent recommends the board approve the out-of-country field trip request from the 8 th grade to Quebec City and Montreal, Canada on March 19 March 23, 2009 at an estimated cost per student of $679.00 before fundraising. - posted 7.3 The superintendent recommends the board award the Fluorescent Light Bulb Recycling bid to Frey Electric for $920.72 for the 2009-2010 school year. - posted 7.4 The board of education adopts the following goals for 2009-2010: 1.
