Topics Covered
The meeting was called to order at 8:30 a.m. by Sandra Ames in the Media Center of Dorothy M. Wallace COPE Center.
The minutes from January 13, 2010 were read and approved with no changes.
Old Business:
Mrs. Ames checked with Ms. Arroyo about getting a second bus for the Accelerated Reader field trip.
New Business:
Chairwoman Ames gave an overview of why amendments to the by-laws are needed. She recommended the following amendments:
• In Article V, Section 2. MEMBERS – change from four (4) students to one (1) student for number of student members. Change the number of business/community representatives from one (1) to four (4). Delete the last sentence of this section (“Each group shall have a duly elected or appointed alternate.”).
• In Article V, Section 6. ELIGIBILITY FOR PARENTS – change the sentence to read “All parents, legal guardians or designated representatives of current or former students with authorization are eligible to be elected as the parent representative, with the exception of those parents employed at Dorothy M. Wallace COPE Center.”
• In Article VII, Section 3. CANCELLATION – change the sentence to read “The Council may cancel a meeting with the agreement of the Principal, UTD Designated Steward, and a business or parent representative.”
All recommended amendments to the by-laws were approved by consensus of the members present.
The wording for the EESAC Waiver Request is as follows: The need for a waiver request is necessitated due to the high mobility rate of our students.
The next meeting will be on May 12, 2010 at 8:15 a.m. in the Media Center.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:09 a.m.
