The School Board will be meeting on Wednesday to receive information on the governor’s budget for fiscal year 2007-08, which was released on Jan. 10. 

The report would help the Berkeley Unified School District learn what the school district should expect monetarily in the next school year. 

Board members will also be approving the Adult School BSEP Site Plan for 2006-07. The Adult School, which is located on San Pablo and Virginia, was formerly an elementary school. It was upgraded recently with a grant of $3 million and is now used by thousands of adults who take classes there during the day and at night. 

The board will also receive a report on the Free and Reduced Lunch Program which will help the school district review the success of the program.

Berkeley High School students are taking their exit exam today (Tuesday). The exams take all day and are given at the gymnasium adjacent to the cafeteria. They test students’ knowledge of English and math to make sure they are up to graduation standards.
