Topics Covered

The meeting was called to order at 4:20 p.m. by Sandra Ames.

The minutes from the previous month’s meeting were read and approved with corrections.

OLD BUSINESS:

It has not been resolved about notes from parents as to whether they will be accepted to give the students excused absences.

NEW BUSINESS:

In reference to the Sterling Feedback Report, Sandra Ames said we need to decide what categories we can work on.

Alfreida Joseph-Goins said we need to decide how long we will take to do these Opportunities for Improvement.

Elaine Collins said maybe we need to table this discussion until Edwina King comes back from the Sterling Conference. She might bring back new information pertinent to how we will address the Opportunities for Improvement.

Lavonda Clarington suggested we do the Strategic Plan next year – perhaps cover Categories 2 and 6. We need more information to confirm this.

Sandra Ames began discussion on the end of year SPEP Report. Objectives will be dictated but not the strategies. Next year we won’t have to do scope and sequence.

The next meeting will be July 14, 2004.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:04 p.m.
