NOVEMBER 2003 CSCA MEETING MINUTES
The
Center School Community Association Attending Andy Edwards, Wendy Graff, Bob Moore, Kim Mullen, Lauren Overman, Molly Pritchard, Dorothy Skans, and Brian Vance. Guests: Gia Bullard, Jose Murphy, Grace Reamer, and Steve Younker. Minutes
of October 3, 2003: Spelling of Ronnette Megrey and Jon Greenberg names
corrected. M/S/P to adopt minutes as corrected. Reports
Treasurer's Report: Andy presented September and October reports. We discussed the process for handling student scholarship requests. The CSCA does not need to see individual requests for scholarships, but there does need to be some process for those requests to come in from students, get to the appropriate faculty (i.e., Ms. Mullen for yearbook, Mr. Murphy for Costa Rica), be approved or not by Mr.Vance, notify the student, and let Andy Edwards know so that the scholarship can be deducted from the $5000 CSCA Scholarship line item and transferred to the appropriate fund. Mr. Vance will outline a process for next meeting. Students
Report: Lauren Overman and Peter Stone, Student Senate President and
Vice President, respectively, will be CSCA student representatives this
year. Lauren reported that the Student Senate is meeting with the Small
Schools coach who has been meeting with TCS Committees Principal's Report: Brian reported on the Peer Mentoring program, matching new students with upper classpeople. The plan is to have one activity per month. Gia Bullard suggested that at least some of those activities be scheduled on Wednesdays, rather than after school. The school is more crowded this year and there is a graffiti problem, especially on the ramp. We sought and received permission from the Seattle Center to complete more student murals on the ramp, in hopes of instilling more pride of place. Mr. Bell is the faculty sponsor for the murals. Mr. Vance is still negotiating with the District on our budget for the year. We will have to cut somewhere between $20,000 and $45,000 from the projected budget. Regarding security in the building, Mr. Vance is negotiating with the security guards to call up to the school for a faculty escort if students don't have their ID's, rather than holding the students until 9:00. When the situation warrants, it is faster for Mr. Vance to contact the Seattle Police Department housed in the basement of the Center House, rather than School District security. Development
Committee: There are two co-chairs for the committee, and Dick
Lee will work with them again. The goal for this year's auction is
$60,000. Unfinished
Business - M/S/P to approve an additional $65 for plaques
for the Cross Country team. New Business Funds Request for Costa Rica trip: Mr. Murphy will be taking up to 15 students to Costa Rica again this year and asked for $1900, which is equal to one full scholarship. M/S/P to approve request, with caveat that the money does not have to be spent unless the need is really there. Funds
Request for graduation reception: M/S to approve request for $500
for reception expenses. Vote tabled because there is already $500 in
the budget for graduation expenses. Funds Request for Grad Night: M/S/P to approve $2000 for the Graduation Night party. Graduation Night will be a funded item at the auction, with a goal of $2,000 to meet this allocation. Announcements
Next Meeting: December 1, 2003 at The Center School. Respectfully submitted, Wendy
Graff |
