The meeting was called to order at 8:24 a.m. by Sandra Ames in the Media Center of Dorothy M. Wallace COPE Center.
The minutes from the meeting held on February 29, 2012 was approved with changes.
Ms. Ames held a discussion of how to spend the balance of the EESAC funds. Some ideas mentioned were: (1) give an award to the graduating student who has been here the longest, (2) the Principal’s Trophy (usually paid for by Sunstate Bank – one of our Dade Partners. In addition, she asked the members present to think of other awards to give to our students.
A review of the Bylaws was held. Mr. Fair suggested that Article IV (a) be rewritten for accuracy. He suggested that (a) should read as follows: “(a) To cause to be kept keep a complete record of all acts and present a statement thereof to the various constituent groups.”
Another change to the bylaws was made in Article V, Section 7.Term of Office. “…The term of the first duly elected and constituted Council shall end on midnight June 30, 2001 of each year. …” Members present agreed that these changes should be made.
Another topic of discussion was what donations we would like to receive for the students at our school. Some ideas presented were: uniform shirts, diapers/baby wipes, lotions, pearl earrings. One member mentioned that Walgreen’s and CVS had polo shirts for sale.
