Discussion on each item:

  1. PowerPoint display done by the second grade to honor school custodians was previewed. 
  2. Discussed recognition of individual birthdays for staff.  This was done last year by email and by cards.  Currently, the birthdays are now being posted on the bulletin board in the office.
  3. We discussed the need to have everyone pay the social committee dues.
  4. We discussed how to recognize Ed on Boss’s Day.
  5. We would like one person from each area to report to the Social Committee if there is an event such as illness, death in the family, etc. that needs our attention.
  6. We were assigned to develop an SBDM policy on Committee Structure.  We looked at the sample policy that Ed gave us.  Also, we were assigned to develop an SBDM policy on one of the SISI leverage points – 9.3.b - The school analyzes the students’ unique learning needs.  We discussed how to write these policies.

Action taken on each item:

  1. The PowerPoint display will be shown on Eye On Stonewall.  An email was sent to tell teachers to make cards for custodian recognition week.
  2. We decided to stop individual recognition of birthdays for staff members because it is being displayed in the office.
  3. Mrs. Erwin will send out an email and post a sign in the faculty lounge to encourage all to pay the social committee dues.
  4. Ed will be recognized during the October 12 faculty meeting with a gift certificate from Nevada Bobs, a balloon, and a card.
  5. At our November meeting, we will appoint a representative from each area to be our contact person.
  6. We will be prepared to discuss and write a rough draft of the policies.  The final policies will be given to the Council at their February meeting.
