New elementary principal recommendations and a high school policy on police interrogations are two of several items on a long Coeur d’Alene school board agenda Monday.

The Post Falls and Lakeland school boards also meet Monday night.

The Coeur d’Alene school district administration is recommending that Joel Palmer be promoted to principal of Borah Elementary School. Palmer was a teacher and most recently the district’s coordinator of Chapter 1, a federally funded remedial program.

The administration also is recommending that Linda Powers, the head of the preschool program, be promoted to principal of Dalton Elementary School.

In other business, the board will:

Consider an agreement with the city of Coeur d’Alene to have police officers assigned to the high schools.

Consider a policy allowing the police to privately interrogate high school students at the schools without notification of their parents or guardians.

Hear a report on different ways to pay for a third middle school.

Hear a report on the effectiveness of combining more than one grade in a classroom.

The Coeur d’Alene school board meets at 7 p.m. in the school district headquarters, 311 N. 10th St.
