Topics Covered:

The Coral Gables Senior High School EESAC special meeting was called to order at 2:35 pm on June 23, 2003, by Stephanie Hofmann, EESAC Chairman.

A quorum was established. Ms. Hofmann introduced the new PTSA President 2003-2004, Mabel Melton. The minutes of the previous meeting were presented and approved with the following change:
* Dr. Martinez will fund the mannequins and plagiarism program.
Fran Collette made a motion to re-direct the $3,200 dollars EESAC had previously approved to pay for IB summer extended writing class, and to allocate these funds to pay for the text books for all grade levels. UTD representative Paula Munnerlyn made a motion to accept Ms. Collette's motion. Joan Reisma seconded Ms. Munnerlyn's motion. Vote was unanimous.

Ms. Evonne Alvarez, AP for Curriculum, reported the administration is working on the final draft of the honor code and further advised that due to fear of disclosure and confidentiality issues students would not be involved in the punitive process. Some members expressed their disagreement, further stating "it is wrong not to involve the students in the whole process because kids respect peer perspective," further discussion continued.

A motion to adjourn was made by Eve Cater, seconded by Anna Nasher. Meeting was adjourned at 3:15 p.m.
