About 50 people attended Monday's meeting. More than half of the participants were teachers and students receiving certificates for outstanding achievements.
During a brief discussion at the end of the meeting, board members chose alternative education and funding as topics to discuss at their meeting with the commissioners.
School board member Delores Simpson addressed the topic of alternative education. "We will be talking about alternative schools and a good way to get education to the kids that need it," she said.
Board member Keith Cook mentioned the two groups also will discuss ways to provide new funding mechanisms for schools.
"We're going to be looking into different and alternative methods to fund our schools at the meeting on March 25," he said.
No other topics for discussion were proposed at the meeting.
Both Cook and Simpson said the board would further discuss and finalize the topics at the next meeting March 18th.
Associate Superintendent Kathy Osborne also led an update on a project that allows students to build houses.
The Live Project lets Orange High School students construct houses and then sell them back to people in the community said Sandra Tinsley, financial director of the project.
