-         Suggested Issues, Questions and Concerns from 11-28-06

 

             - Can we get paid for meetings?

                        Yes. It has to be after school. Each team needs to plan an after

                        school schedule. Indicate who will attend (attendance is not required).

                        and how many hours it will take. In return you will be expected to

                        produce a working product. We have lots of money.

 

             - Meetings for Individual Academies to discuss individual students

                        Once again we can request money for this. Make a plan within

                        your academy, a regular schedule and the time will be paid.

 

             - Funds for awards. The month before each semester each teacher can turn

in requests for whatever they need. Mr. Mendoza will request all of the money as one lump sum to be distributed by us. If the entire amount is not received the governance board will decide how to distribute any money received based on the requests and other factors determined by the governance board.

 

- Does the parent center have a mailbox? Yes they do.

 

- Request for Expert Presentation on Literacy Startegy.

   Discuss

   If many people want this in a meeting it will be arranged

   If a small number want this we will seek a conference.
