That special 6 p.m. meeting is part of the board's Tuesday meeting, which begins at 9 a.m. in the board chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St.
This latest discussion about reorganizing and unifying the county's seven school districts began earlier this year, as Lake County News has reported.
The report, created by a specially appointed task force, was released in October. The 53-page document can be found at www.lakecoe.org or a printed copy can be picked up at the Lake County Office of Education’s main office 1152 S. Main St. Lakeport.
The task force limited its considerations to three options – unification of all districts into one; reorganizing Konocti Unified and Middletown Unified into one district and Kelseyville Unified, Lakeport Unified, Lucerne Elementary, Upper Lake High and Upper Lake Elementary into a second; and reorganizing so that Konocti, Middletown, Kelseyville and Lakeport would remain unified districts and Upper Lake High, Upper Lake Elementary and Lucerne Elementary would become one unified district.
In other board news, at 9:45 a.m., the Lake County Invasive Species Council will present new standards and protocols for the county's mussel prevention program, as well as its mussel vessel reinspection procedures.
The board will discuss adopting the new standards, which are meant to keep damaging invasive species out of the county's lakes. At the top of the list for county officials are quagga and zebra mussels.
At 1:45 p.m. Public Works Director Brent Siemer will give the board a status report on the South Main Street and Soda Bay Road Corridor Improvement Project.
