NOVEMBER 2002 CSCA MEETING MINUTES
The
Center School Community Association Attending:
Blair Butterworth, Andrea Edwards, Wendy Graff, Jon Greenberg, Carol
Hepburn, Teru Lundsten, Judy Peterson, Mollie Price, Denise Sobieralski,
Brian Vance, Ben Wheeler. Guest: Bob Moore Minutes of October 17, 2002: M/S/P to approve minutes as written. Reports Students: Mollie Price reported that the student reps talked to the Senate and Advisories about the TURF assembly. All but two Advisories in favor (those against thought it might not be relevant).
National Honor Society wants to raise money for school scholarship funds.
That money can be put in a special ASB account, not CSCA. (Judy to check
with District about that.) CSCA recommended that NHS approach Staples
or other office supply store to see about getting deals on calculators
for students for whom the cost is a challenge. Bathroom breaks and food -- Faculty will discuss 11/6/02; not a CSCA decision although CSCA recommends that Student Senate develop a proposal for faculty consideration. Treasurer:
Andy Edwards reported that the bank balance as of 10/31/02 was $8,983.04
less $1,108.30 of ski program money = $7,874.74. So far, $3330 in cash
and checks have come in from appeal letter; credit card contributions
haven't been tallied yet. TCS has 126 PTSA members, including many students. We'll aim to increase that number for next year. Administration:
Discussed starting as an exploratory year with the Coalition for Essential
Schools. CES membership is granted after application and site visit.
CES membership gives access to networking with like-minded schools in
the country. Cost is $500/year. Brian will bring in 10 components of
CES next meeting. Effect of District budget shortfall on TCS unknown at this point. Breathe deep. Instructional Committee: Art History and Art Criticism class combined. A faculty rep will report on current curriculum matters at future CSCA meetings. TCS needs course descriptions for Choice period, posting on Web site. Community Relations Committee: Brochure is in process. Committee still looking for a speaker on adolescent issues for a parent night; will participate in and support outreach to middle schools during Choice period. Development
Committee: There will be an auction, probably with a partner organization
such as the Rep or EMP. Other fundraisers include Krispy Kreme sale
at Seahawks game 11/17; Sally Foster on-line gift-wrap sale. CSCA suggested
keeping track of in-kind donations of materials and supplies so that
those amounts are counted into our fundraising totals. Andy will develop
a form that parents can use for that procedure. Volunteer Coordination: Carol distributed booklets listing all those who have volunteered, categorized by task. A great resource for us all. Thanks, Carol! Unfinished Business TURF assembly -- M/S/P for CSCA to pay full cost ($600) to bring this assembly to school. Denise will schedule. New Business Standing Rules -- M/S/P to accept Standing Rules as amended. Wendy, as CSCA Secretary, needs to sign. Budget Issues -- A Budget Subcommittee of the CSCA, consisting of Teru, Andy, a Development Committee member, and with the assistance of Dick Lee, will meet to re-write the CSCA budget to reflect the non-Krispy Kreme reality and will present next time. Broadcast e-mails -- Now that there is a database of parent edresses, we need a policy on broadcast e-mails. Bob Moore will draft such as policy for CSCA consideration. New Funds Requests Reflections -- M/S/P to fund Reflections with $200. Web site hosting -- M/S/P to pay up to $150 for one year of private Web site hosting, instead of hosting through District, and purchase of domain name. Thanks to Bob Moore for coordinating the Web site. The school Web site needs an Advisory Group, for which Brian volunteered. The 6 parents who volunteered to work on the Web site will also be contacted. Announcements
