Old Business

Jim Johnson, a CLC parent, will be presenting information regarding sex and violence in video games on Thursday, April 7 from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. at CLC. This seminar is open to the public, staff and parents. It is not recommended for the students due to the content. More information meetings on other current topics affecting our parents and students will be scheduled in the future.

Mark noted that Tony and Aaron, the people who offer guitar lessons for CLC students, were having a concert to raise money for the Cancer fund on April 1, 2005. The cost of admission is $2.00.

New Business

The Board discussed the 2005-2006 school calendar. State College Area School District has moved the start date up; however, other school districts that our students are from have not. Mark Toci motioned to have the CLC start date be September 6, 2005. Darlene Fink seconded. Heidi asked if this would affect the ending date for the school year and if there would be enough days to meet education requirements. Kosta stated that there were already enough days, even with the later start date. There was no further discussion. The motion passed unanimously.

Kosta informed the Board that we should receive approval for the third and final installment of the Comprehensive School Reform Desemination grant technology grant we use for technology on April 1.

Mark mentioned that Bryan was working on a parent satisfaction survey that parents would receive in April. This should give us some feedback on what is going well and what areas we need improvement in.

Heidi and Andrea issued an invitation to staff to attend the future meetings of the new parent group.

There was no additional business presented to the Board. Darlene Fink motioned to adjourn, and Leslie Aderhold seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 7:30 PM.
