Called to Order 3:20; Majority in Attendance   I.                    Approval of Minutes a.       Motion called for acceptance of minutes as submitted; seconded. Motion carried and minutes were approved. II.                 Principal’s Report a.       Building capacity request is being submitted to the district.  If our request is honored we will move forward. We have to honor the process before we petition to keep our class size small (25.) b.      The principal has begun conversations about blocking and looping. The master schedule is being discussed. c.       The jobs for Support Teacher and “Home/School Coordinator” have been posted. The .5 FTE position for “Home/School Coordinator” is the closest match in job description to training and responsibilities of the person we are seeking as discussed in our previous meetings when referring to “truancy” and “intervention” specialists (and also fits our budgetary needs.) III.               Old Business a.       French Proposal:  we will offer French. There is a two year commitment from the World Language Dept. to offer French. b.      Field Trip Policy: a “granular” form/template was introduced by the principal at the last meeting. It was reviewed and discussed. The topic was tabled until the form can be updated, a timeline for implementation developed, and the constituents have a chance to see it and give feedback.
