Making it clear they did not have enough time to discuss the final draft of the 2011-12 budget, North Kitsap School Board members voted unanimously Thursday to postpone budget approval. The board will hold a special meeting July 28 at 6 p.m. to discuss the budget and the search for a new superintendent. The meeting will be held in the district board room. Action can be taken.
Of the three North Kitsap School Board positions on the ballot, the position held by the school board president is the only one with a contest. The District 4 position drew three candidates from a variety of backgrounds: Julie Edwards, vice chairwoman of the Citizens Budget Review Committee; Scott Henden, an assistant coach and local business owner; and incumbent Val Torrens, an adjunct political science instructor at Olympic College. The two top vote-getters in the Aug. 16 primary will advance to the Nov. 8 general election.

On April 17, a CBS “60 Minutes” broadcast raised questions about the authenticity of Greg Mortenson and the Central Asia Institute’s work, popularized in his book, “Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace … One School at a Time.” Now, with questions of their own, students at Vinland Elementary School have begun to assess the allegations in hopes of finding answers. And those answers could alter students’ efforts to raise money for Mortenson’s cause.
