COMMUNITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 11, 2024
Those in attendance were Paul Mecham, Sarah Mecham, Dani Hallows, Brittany Hallows, Dennis Anderson, Angela Johnson, and Rod Hinck. We watched the welcome video, and the School Community Council video. Talked about the role of the community council members.
Paul motioned to approve the minutes from the March 20, 2024 meeting. Mr. Hinck seconded the motion and everyone else was in favor. Paul nominated Sarah for Chair of the Community Council and Dennis Anderson seconded it and everyone else was in favor. Sarah nominated Brittney Hallows for Vice- Chair Paul Seconded it, and everyone voted in favor.
We then voted to adopt the Rules of Order that Mr. Hinck had sent us. There was brief discussion and Sarah motioned to approve them and Paul seconded the motion. All voted to adopt the Rules of Order. Paul then motioned to move Sarah to a second year member and Mr. Hinck seconded it and everyone else was in favor. This was to ensure we had two council members on odd years for re-election and two on even years per our Rules of Order we had adopted.
We reviewed the 2024-25 Trustland Proposal with all of it going towards teacher wages to keep all of our teachers and class sizes the same including having intervention classes. In the past we have used it for other things in addition to teacher salary. Those items including aide wages, professional development, media aide hours, technology supplies, software etc…, will still be done with other funding sources. Everyone was in agreement that this was still the best way to move forward.
We reviewed testing data from last year. We then discussed fire and lock down drills. Mr. Hinck then discussed first of the school year activities including Red Ribbon Week, school pictures and the first day of school. There was some discussion about a fundraiser we are going to try this year in October; a readathon and Kylie Burgess is going to be in charge of it. Parent Teacher Conference is going to be held on October 3, 2024. Fall recess is coming up on October 18, 21 and 22.
We then solidified our meeting schedule for the year in order to post on the school web page. The dates for the meetings are scheduled for November 6, February 5, and March 12.
Mr. Hinck motioned that we adjourn and Paul seconded it. All were in favor and the meeting was concluded.
