The meeting was called to order at 4:11 p.m. by Sandra Ames in the Media Center of Dorothy M. Wallace COPE Center.

The minutes from the meeting of April 6, 2011 were read and approved with corrections.

Those present reviewed the End of the Year School Improvement Plan. At this time we only have the FCAT Writing scores. Most of our girls have a score of 4.0.

For Science – Strategy 1.1 will be replaced and Strategy 2.1 will be kept for the 2011-2012 school year.

For Reading, Ms. Cash wants to use personalized dictionaries next year. She also wants to replace Strategy 1.1. Strategy 1.2 will be kept and Strategies 2.1, 3.1 and 4.1 will be modified.

For Writing, Strategies 1.1 and 2.1 will be kept as they are.

For Math, Strategy 1.1 will be modified and Strategy 2.1 will be kept as it is for school year 2011-2012.

When the scores for the Science, Reading, and Math FCATs become available we will use data for our 2011-2012 School Improvement Plan. Also, the template for the 2011-2012 SIP is not available to date.

Mrs. Webb said we need to tie in SIP goals with IPEGS. PLC should also focus on strategies that would reinforce SIP goals. She also said we have to make students think things all the way through – to see the big picture.

Ms. Ames informed those present that Communities in Schools has purchased 250 certificate covers. Ms. Ames says she has 200 certificates.

Ms. Gilbert will be obtaining trophies for some of the seniors. Ms. Ames would like to give Outstanding students certificates with covers.

Mrs. Webb thinks girls who made 5 on the Writing FCAT should receive a trophy.

It was decided that we would give trophies and certificates to various students.

Ms. Gilbert announced that the senior dinner will take place on Saturday, May 14, 2011 at Oasis Banquet Hall. Keiser University purchased a table (10 @$20.00 ea.). Dr. Billingslea has purchased 5 tickets. Ms. Gilbert will have a raffle for two $25.00 gift cards, some nice door prizes and a coronation for Senior Princess. The color scheme for the senior dinner is purple, gold and green.

Changes to our school dress code were discussed. Next year students can wear an open jacket (any color), but no hoodies. The new shirt colors will be red, white and navy blue polo style. The pants will remain the same – jeans or khaki bottoms. If they have a light blue or pink shirt with a COPE logo, they can trade them in for a red shirt.

Keiser University will be here May 27, 2011 for the Tots’ graduation ceremony.

Mrs. Webb informed us that the SIP meeting will be held on Thursday, May 19, 2011 at Killian Senior High School at noon.

Ms. Hadley and Ms. Gilbert will have the 2nd Annual Etiquette Workshop on Thursday, May 5, 2011.

The next meeting will be announced at a later date.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:30 p.m.
