MEETING MINUTES
Members in attendance: Jan Bissell, Debbie Cagigas, Michael Chisholm, Nicole Croghan, Mary Ann DeGrazia, Andrew Fox, Alejandro Gonzalez, Michelle Korbas, Dave Rathjen, and Lidia Reynes. Not Present: Elaine Anderson/Chris Sarantakis, Paige Panighetti.
- Mission Statement was read by Michelle Korbas.
- SSC Minutes . Motion to approve April 29, 2009 SSC Minutes was brought by Jan Bissell and seconded by Michael Chisholm. APPROVED.
- GATE Survey . A binder with all the survey information is kept in the front office and available for review. A few initial survey compilations were distributed to show the change in language from the last meeting and to also comment upon. 7 th grade accelerated English had an unusually high dissatisfaction number. Otherwise the responses were somewhat predictable.
- Team Leader Stipend. Regarding the reduction of SIP funds of 25% over the last 2 years, Mary Ann DeGrazia has already talked to staff members about having to reduce the team leader stipends from $1200 to $1000 per year. A motion to approve this reduction was made by Michelle and seconded by Debbie Cagigas. APPROVED. Per Mary Ann, we can add it back as the future budget allows.
- Facilities Update. A marquee for the school has been purchased but we need a variance from the city. Neighbors and the fencing issue have made that a necessity. The costs are $1500 for the county variance and $30,000 for the marquee. It should take 2-3 months but if we don’t get the variance we will install it inside of the fence instead. But we would like to have it higher and easier to maintain. A parent will be doing the installation.
- 2008-2009 School Year Reflections . Various comments and cheerfulness ending our year on a positive note. Also adding to the cheer were nice thank you gifts from Mary Ann. We look forward to knowing about the new superintendent who will be announced at a meeting tonight. We also took note of parent, Rosie Rios being nominated for the U.S.Treasurer.
Adjournment at 3:44.
