In brief

The Newport-Mesa Unified School District Board of Education will hold its

regular meeting at 7 tonight at the District Education Center.

The board will recognize Harbor View, Kaiser, Killybrooke and Victoria

elementary schools for being named California Distinguished Schools. That

will be followed by a presentation from Newport Elementary School

updating the board on events at the campus. The board has systematically

been hearing from each district school.

Board members will also be asked to approve 28 additions to the high

school and adult education programs. Of those additions, 17 are English

courses, seven are math, one is science, two are adult education and one

is a leadership course.

As the board continues to look at housing students next year, it will

consider adjustments that may be needed to campuses to accommodate

student numbers.
