6) The first meeting of the Port student council will take place Nov. 30.

Will be located in front of the portfolio area in the school 2 common area, between the kitchens.

Periods 1 – 6 there will be a sign up sheet for the entire year. Teachers can sign up for the lounge when they want to on a first come first serve basis. It will be requested that a teacher is reasonable in the number of requests but if it is consistently available the teacher can then feel comfortable overusing the facility. It can be used as an alternative classroom (but not with a substitute).

During Nutrition and Lunch the facility will be available for students to enjoy. The student council will determine a regular schedule, capacity (based on fire codes) and selection system. The Governance Council will have to approve the plan.  If a majority is not reached the students must rework the schedule and system.

Will be located in the area between the kitchen and room 200. Where the teachers currently hang out.
