The School Performance Excellence Plan (SPEP) has to be downtown by 9/24/02. The SPEP objectives were established prior to this meeting. This year’s objectives must indicate who worked on each one.

School Foundation has to be updated.

All inservice courses for all teachers must be included. Mrs. King suggested that we stick to school-wide in-services where at least three persons attended. Mrs. King also suggested that we look at objectives first.

Must include attendance and advanced academics for our students, where they will be included in the objectives as strategies.

The members worked on the wording of the SPEP.

Assignments for working on the SPEP were as follows:

School Foundation King
In-services King
Math Goins/Clarington
Writing and Reading McKay/Bradman

It was decided to meet as committees until the SPEP was completed.

The committee plans to present a draft of the SPEP to the faculty at the next faculty meeting (9/18/02).

It was decided to elect new members and parents at the Open House and elect the student members with the Student Government officer elections to update the EESAC roster for 2002-2003.

The meeting was adjourned at 12:20 p.m.
