Normally Jesse F. will be attending Board meetings, but Sarah and Nate filled in since Jesse could not attend.

III. Personnel
MJ Hogan was introduced. The length of the appointment (10 or 12 month) was discussed. MJ will work until June with contract to be discussed again in June. A movement was made to accept MJ’s appointment. The movement was seconded and passed.

An appeal was made for folks to keep eyes open for a new After School Program Director. The suggestion was made to appeal to Delta Program students who might want to come as volunteers.

IV. Financial
There was no financial report available as Dr. Kyle was recently injured and could not submit the “latest attempt”.

V. Policy Manual
There has been no movement on this yet. The question was raised concerning what effect Dr. Kyle’s recent injury will have on the audit.

VI. Mission Statement
The purpose of the mission statement was discussed. People agreed that more information is needed regarding what a mission statement is and what purposes it serves. The impact of a well-thought-out mission was discussed. The need to select words carefully, include students in the discussion and choose words which truly represent our philosophy were discussed. It was recommended that the mission statement adoption be postponed, and that once it is adopted that it be posted in both buildlings of the school.


VII. Other Business
The aerobics classes taking place in the BIg Room in the evenings were discussed. The group is paying rent for the use of the facility.

The question of counseling services was raised. Suggestions were made concerning who to contact and Josephine updated us on her recent inquiries.

A request was made that future newsletters recognize families who have left our community as well as mentioning who has joined us. A short discussion ensued regarding the importance of recognizing departures to maintain the sense of the community.

Sarah’s mom requested more regular, consistent contact with the school via hard-copy methods. It was suggested that announcements and minutes or summaries of the parent and board meetings be sent home via the newsletter.
