Don't look now, but the Coeur d'Alene School Board appears ready to forge ahead and make a decision on the Primary Years Programme at Hayden Meadows Elementary. A discussion on the controversial PYProgamme is scheduled as a possible vote item at 6 the regularly scheduled CSB meeting at 6 p.m. Monday. Superintendent Hazel Bauman is scheduled to introduce the subject. Then, the school board will go through the motions of providing a fair hearing by accepting public comment. Board Chairman Tom Hamilton has already said he opposes the continuance of the program. The ground rules listed on the agenda for this item are interesting:

• No applause
• 3-minute time limit
• No outbursts
• Be polite, no personal attacks
• Speakers address board (not audience)

Question: Will the School Board vote 5-0 Monday to torpedo PYP?
