The minutes of the November 14th meeting were reviewed and approved unanimously.

Mr. Windisch updated the committee on the School Improvement Plan and Title I. He reported that the Parent/Family Engagement Plan was approved by Title I on November 20th. It was subsequently uploaded into the School Improvement Plan.

Mr. Parker reported that preparations for the COE accreditation visit are still under way. He also announced that the Technical College December graduation will take place on Monday, December 16th in the auditorium.

Ms. Mixco received one proposal for the disbursal of the School Recognition Funds from Ms. Whitby. After discussion, it was approved by consensus.
• Faculty and Staff members (high school or technical college) who worked with high school students in 2018-19 would be divided into four categories (full time certified staff, part time certified staff, full time non-certified staff, part time non-certified staff) based on 2018-19 work assignments. Members of each category will receive a particular number of units (14, 8, 6, or 4 respectively).

The committee approved two other proposals by consensus.
• All full-time certified staff (high school or technical college) who worked with high school students in 2018-19 will receive the total of 75% of the funds. Others who worked with high school students in 2018-19 will receive the remaining 25% of the funds.

• All 2018-19 employees (high school or technical college) who worked with high school students will receive an equal share of the funds. Non-certified staff will not receive any funds.
