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 the meeting of March 2, 2011 were read and approved without changes.

Discussion was held on what types of snacks to provide the students during FCAT. It was agreed that $360.00 would be used to provide individual pound cake slices and mints for the students and $200.00 would be used to purchase awards and certificates for the Awards Day activities.

Ms. Ames gave information about the Florida KidCare Program and showed some of the posters that would be put up in various locations about the school.
Ms. Ames also spoke about the “Boots on the Ground” Program and said we need to encourage our girls to apply for KidCare since many of them are not covered by any insurance. She informed us there is a PowerPoint presentation about this program that can be shown.

Mrs. Webb asked Ms. Russell to check on the cost of bulletin boards. She would like to purchase more to hang in the school corridors so students can display their work.

Ms. Ames informed those present that our by-laws have to be reviewed. She then distributed copies of the by-laws and said we will review them at the next meeting to see if any changes need to be made.

Discussion was held on the School Improvement Plan (SIP) Waivers to Labor Contract Provisions. It was agreed that no changes to existing waiver(s) are required at this time and FM-4256 was signed by the EESAC chairperson, the UTD designated steward, and the principal accordingly.

The next meeting will be held on April 6, 2011 at 4:00 p.m.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:03 a.m.
