Katy - At Delta, kids and families are involved in hiring process. Should we have a similar situation. Also have kids involved in facility choices.
Theresa - Is it a good use of our time to have everyone in on the interviews from the first interview, or is it better to have them come in at the point closer by hiring.
Suggested that the committees and descriptions be posted
Committees should have a chairman who would report at the board meetings
Is there anything in the by-laws about who must serve on the committees? Not at this time. By-laws need to be revisited over the summer
Can people from the community at large be members of committees? Yes!
Budget:
- correction - 19,??? is not showing up as an income, so income is @-$3,500.
in looking at the budget for next year, we are being certain to attend to the past situation of too few people doing too much work
continuing to support inclusion of specialists - math, Spanish, etc.
next year’s budget is still in the working - different scenario being looked at
we will have a special board meeting prior to the end of this fiscal year to present and approve a budget for next year
current budget is approved and authorization is given to pay the bills for the Month of May
A concern was voiced about the article in Horizon - publication from the district - regarding the statements that so much more money will be going to charter schools and that the implication is made that charter schools are the root cause of increased taxes, etc.
- should we as a school address this situation?
- parents and other concerned people should write to CDT, etc. to voice our concerns
- A suggestion has been made to include a public relations committee to our list of committees
- Kyle suggests that a meeting be made with Patricia Best to explain to us the reasoning behind the financial statements about charter schools. It feels like a misrepresentation to us. Kyle and Lynne will try to set up such a meeting.
- Mark suggests that we do not make it a confrontational position. By showing what wonderful things we are doing, we will continue to improve our public relations.
- should we always have someone present at the SC board meetings?
